Chapter 54: The Ancient Alchemy Laboratory (12)
Without Tali by her side, the pressure on Leach increased dramatically.
Gritting his teeth and holding on until everyone was hiding in the door, Leach jumped back, and the black blade in his hand was suddenly wrapped in a layer of azure light, and slashed on the floor in front of him.
In the next moment, the entire staircase was quickly frozen, and the four trap beasts were no exception, standing still like lifelike ice sculptures.
After slashing this sword, Leach's face turned pale, and he forced himself to retreat into the gate with the feeling of fainting, and hurriedly ordered: "Close the door quickly, they will recover soon!"
In fact, there is no need for Leach to elaborate, the rest of the people have already seen that the ice crystals on the four trap beasts have begun to crack, and they will soon regain their mobility.
After a period of scramble, the door was finally shut. Listening to the "clanging" knocking sound from time to time outside the door, everyone's hearts rose to their throats, for fear that the gate would be destroyed.
Fortunately, what everyone feared did not happen, although the knocking sound did not stop, but the gate remained intact, and after a while, the trap beast outside the door finally gave up the pursuit, and the crisp knocking sound that was characteristic of walking faded away until it could no longer be heard.
"Whew, that's damning!"
After making sure that there was no danger, Leach sat down on the ground against the door, while Lena and Saya quickly pulled out bandages and hemostatic medicine to treat the wound on his arm.
"Brother Leach, what a powerful move you made just now, it froze those big guys all at once!"
The kung fu he was waiting for just now, Leach had been hurrying to run the exercises to recover his fighting spirit, and at this time his face had returned to normal, and he explained with a wry smile when he heard this: "It was pure luck just now. It was one of the few tricks contained in my family's Dou Qi, called 'Xuan Bing Slash'. With my current strength, it's still too reluctant to exert it, and in order to contain those four guys at the same time, I spread my strength again, and the effect is greatly reduced. To be honest, my original plan was just to make them move a little slower, to be able to freeze them for a while, and it was already green smoke on the ancestral grave. ”
"That's also very powerful, people's hands are still numb, I don't know which pervert made such a perverted guy, don't let me meet it, otherwise, hum ......"
Seeing that Leach still looked a little tired, Oriana stopped Tali, who was still trying to say something to him: "Okay, little Tully, let Leach rest for a while, I see that he consumes a lot, so don't pester him, go, follow me to another place." ”
As soon as she reminded her, Tali realized that now was not a good time to gossip, and playfully stuck out her tongue and walked away with Oriana.
......
The room where Leach and his party were now was obviously a library with bookshelves all around, but unfortunately due to the age, all the books had turned to ashes, and there was nothing of value left at all.
However, the good news is that this place has not been arranged by the previous owner to set up traps and guard trap beasts, which makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief. After experiencing nine deaths just now, the self-confidence before coming has already been hit, and there is not even a slag left.
Once Leach had recovered, everyone made their way to the exit where Olena and Tali had found.
It's still a thick metal door with a simple style, but this time, there is no mechanism, and the door is pushed open as soon as it is pushed, and everyone enters.
What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a huge pool of water filled with an unknown liquid, which was pale green in color and did not emit any scent.
On the other side of the pool is a workbench-style table. Other than that, there was nothing else in the room, and likewise there were no other exits.
"This is the end, we can't be so unlucky, we have worked so hard for nothing?" This is the one he has contributed the most, and he is naturally the most unwilling.
"Probably not, alchemists keep their most proud experiments in a separate secret room, and I think the key is on that workbench. Don't come here, I'll go and see for myself, lest you come across something you shouldn't touch. After stopping Lina, who was trying to touch the liquid in the pool, Orianna walked to the workbench alone.
Although I think Oriana's request is a bit unreasonable, and the reason is a bit far-fetched, if you don't let you touch it, you won't touch it, why do you have to stay where you are?
I thought so, but Leach still stood in place with his team members and didn't move, after all, everyone has their own privacy, as an employee, as long as he is not sent to death on purpose, naturally everything is done according to the employer's requirements, but he is a little uncomfortable.
"Sister Anna, why is it that we have all come here together, what else can't we know?
Among all of them, she has the closest relationship with Oriana, and now she can't even get past it, and the depression in her heart can be imagined.
Although he was a little unhappy, as the head of the group, Leach still persuaded: "Okay, Tali, although we are adventure hunters, after all, we belong to Ambrera, and we are not the same force as Sister Anna, so it is understandable that we are a little wary, and we must be guarded." Maybe there are some things in those materials that are really important and inconvenient for us to watch. ”
"Hmph, are we the kind of villains who forget their righteousness?, Sister Anna, how can you look at us like that!" Obviously, Tali's resentment could not be dispelled by a few dry explanations from Leach.
Leach could only smile wryly at this. Saya is not a good talker and can't count on it, and as for Lena, she's still staring at the liquid in the pool, and when Leach unlocks Tali, he keeps an eye on her so that she doesn't hurt herself.
As she spoke, Orianna on the other side didn't know what she was doing on the workbench, and a transparent light mask suddenly appeared around the workbench.
"Sister Anna, what's going on?" Leach was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted.
Tali didn't care about the mood either, and her concern for Oriana's safety prevailed, and without saying a word, she swung her weapon and smashed it into the mask.
However, Tali's full force did not have any effect, neither making a noise nor smashing the mask, except for leaving a ripple on the mask.
Tali tried a few more times, and the others launched their own attacks, but none of them could shatter the mask. In desperation, the four of them had no choice but to clapped their hands on the light mask and shouted loudly, hoping to attract the attention of Oriana inside.
