Chapter 189: Treasure Chest
His Excellency the future Ultra Magister narrowed his eyes, "? ?. r?a?n?? e n `o?rg”
"What is a sandstorm, is it dangerous?" Gage didn't know how many times he wiped the sweat from his forehead, he grew up in the south, or the first time he saw the desert, it felt quite fresh before, but after walking for so long, the freshness had long passed, and now he only felt hot to death, and his mouth and clothes were full of sand, and he just wanted to find a cool place to take a shower and sleep well.
"Sandstorm is a storm in the desert, the danger is not easy to say, the general sandstorm wind speed is not fast, relatively safe, although it will obscure the view, but it will soon pass, so just wait in place, but there are also powerful sandstorms, the wind speed can reach seven or eight hundred miles an hour, and even some small rocks can be blown up where they pass, and it is difficult to say if they are swept in. Rob looked at the horizon again, "The sandstorm we encountered...... The initial estimate of wind speed should be 200 to 300 miles per hour, and it is expected that it will reach here in another half an hour. ”
The fat man was taken aback, "What should I do, should I run away?"
"You can't escape, this sandstorm is very large, and we can't run out at this time. His Excellency the future Ultra Magister glanced around, "But we can't stay here, it's too open, there's not even a place to hide, and when the sandstorm comes, it will blow us away, I remember seeing a large rock wall on the road before, and it should be too late to rush over now, use that rock wall to block the sand and dust, and remember to fix your body." ”
"What are you waiting for, let's hurry over. Gage said anxiously.
"Well, you go first, and I'll follow. Rob hesitated for a moment but said, the three of them trusted him all the way, and they didn't ask much when they heard the words, and after Luo Luo told you to be careful, he pulled Ginny and Gage to turn around and run back.
His Excellency the future Ultra Magister stood in place, temporarily putting the impending sandstorm behind him, closing his eyes, and when he opened his eyes half a minute later, he had indeed confirmed the direction of the previous magic fluctuation, which was under a cactus less than half a mile away from him.
To be honest, Rob didn't expect to find a treasure chest at this time, of course, the main reason was because the treasure chest was placed in a magic channel, and when Luo Luo noticed the sandstorm, he also noticed the looming magic fluctuations.
However, the treasure chest made of metal shielded this fluctuation to a large extent, and in addition, it is buried deep underground, even the future Super Magister will have to spend some effort to locate it, and then it is a question of how to dig it out.
The distance of half a mile does not seem to be far, but considering that there is still a need to dig up the treasure chest and turn back to the stone wall after getting the magic guide, the time becomes very tight, and the sandstorm is still less than half an hour to scrape here, so the safest thing to do now is to wait for the sandstorm to pass before taking the treasure chest.
But Rob knows that this will not work, with the destructive power of this sandstorm, it will really come here, then the only cactus that can be used as a mark in this vast yellow sand is probably going to be gone, and then the future super mage will have to search for the location of the treasure chest again, and the terrain near this will change greatly after the sandstorm, if this treasure chest is buried in a deeper place by more yellow sand, it will become more difficult to perceive, and the difficulty of excavation will also increase.
So Rob thought about it and decided to give it a try, he could roughly estimate the time he had left, and if he found that he couldn't do anything, he would immediately give up digging the treasure chest and move to the side of the stone wall, so the danger was not as great as it seemed.
He let the slowest Ginny and Gage leave first, if he left Lolo, he could increase the speed of digging, but then the remaining Ginny and Gage are all newcomers with little experience and combat effectiveness, Rob is worried that something will happen to them during this time, so he finally chooses to act alone.
He ran very fast, sliding straight down the sand dune, and it took him less than four minutes to get to the cactus, after which Rob saw half a shovel buried in the yellow sand.
This is an obvious hint that these treasure chests set up in the freshman competition must be hidden enough, but at the same time not so hidden that no one has discovered it, according to the normal process, the average person first sees this lone cactus, and then walks in front of him and finds this shovel half buried in the sand, and finally successfully associates the location of the treasure chest from the shovel, but Rob This guy directly used the perception of a sixth-order mage to open the hanging, first found the magic guide in the treasure chest, and then found the cactus.
There is no way, who made the original design of the freshman competition never imagined that there would be a high-level magician mixed in among the contestants.
Rob quickly dug out the treasure chest below with a shovel, and when he opened it, he saw a crystal ball inside.
As far as he knows, there are many magicians who like to make magic guides into crystal balls, so they can't tell what this magic guide does from the appearance alone, the easiest way is of course to activate it to give it a try, but Rob can see at a glance that this is a second-class magic guide, and there are only two uses in total, and it is a pity to waste an experiment, like this low-level magic guide with no technical content, the future super magic guide can also directly deduce its use from the structure.
But now he obviously didn't have time for such a thing, the sandstorm was approaching here, and he had to leave.
Rob wrapped the crystal ball around his waist, and then ran back onto the small sand dune in a 100-meter sprint, and looked back to see that the sandstorm behind him was very close to him, and he could already see the dust and sand in the sky, which was mixed with dead branches and small rocks, and it would definitely be a shame if he was swept in.
At the same time, Luo Luo behind the rock wall also saw the sandstorm that was approaching rapidly, but she had not seen anyone yet, the girl's face became more and more solemn, and she told the two people beside her, "Wait, no matter what happens, you don't leave under this rock wall." After that, she herself pulled down her goggles again, stared at the sandstorm, and was ready to rush in at any time to save people.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before she saw the familiar figure at the top of the dune, the guy looked a little embarrassed at the moment, as if he had rolled in the sand, but his expression was as calm as ever, as if he hadn't noticed the yellow sand behind him that was almost devouring him.
"Look, are the ropes ready for fixing? This time the sandstorm is bigger, it's better to tie the four of us together so that we don't separate. Rob said as he dodged to the rock wall, and pressed back the head that had stretched out Lolo to look out.
"What did you just run there for?"
"Oh, I found a place that looked like a treasure chest was buried, and I went over and took a look. "Your Excellency the future Ultra Magister told the truth, but he just concealed the way he found the treasure chest.
"Treasure chest?" The other three suddenly became interested when they heard this, they had already learned about the existence of the treasure chest from the rules before the game started, but they had never encountered it along the way, Rob had just said not long ago that most of the locations of the treasure chests should be in the inner city, but they didn't expect their luck to be so good that they could pick one up in the outer city.
"Quick, show us what's in there?" Gage said impatiently.
"Wait until this sandstorm is over. Rob also fastened himself with a rope, and soon after he tied the rope, the sandstorm finally blew here, and the overwhelming yellow sand completely obscured everyone's sight, and the sound of rubble and the crash of the rock wall kept coming from the other side of the stone wall, which made the fat man tremble when he heard it, and when he looked up, he found that the sky and the earth had already turned into a dusk, and even the companions who were close at hand could not see clearly.
The sandstorm lasted for an hour and a half before slowly weakening, until the howling wind completely disappeared from the ears, and the people behind the stone wall were shocked to realize that their lower body had been buried by the yellow sand, which is why Rob took out the contents of the treasure chest before the sandstorm arrived, the terrain and environment will change greatly after the sandstorm, and it is not easy to find the original location.
Everyone climbed out of the sand pit, sorted out their clothes, poured out the sand poured into their boots, and took advantage of this time Rob also checked the magic guide he got before, the magic stored in this crystal ball is a sand and dust technique, which belongs to the restricted low-level magic, mainly used to cover the vision, whether it is retreating or fighting, it is very useful, and the effect of this magic will be added in this desert environment at the moment, in short, it is a pretty good prop.
However, when the future Ultra Magister turned his head, there was a look of surprise on his face, "Where's Ginny?" )
