Chapter 166: Someone Cuts Off His Beard!
Divine creatures often have super high spell immunity abilities, and despite the theft of bone fragments, the accumulated divine power has also made the defense and vitality of the hydra snake exceed that of normal creatures.
When Xu Nan chose a spell, he considered this point and abandoned the fireball technique he was best at, and chose the more direct and violent lava burst.
This spell is considered to be a relatively common powerful spell in the plastic energy system that has both physical and magical attack effects.
Coupled with the cooperation of the celestial goose, Xu Nan is completely playing a fixed target.
The serpent was furious, but it didn't have much power to resist.
Even though the Celestial Goose only has a pair of wings and a pair of feet, the six heads of the hydra are still strangled to death.
With the arcane aftermath of the lava explosions, the poor basilisk was finally killed.
The Celestial Goose has also returned to its normal form - it is very difficult for celestial beings to maintain their divine form in the main material realm.
Xu Nan began to clean the battlefield briskly.
The treasure hunters returned one after another, but none of them dared to make a move, they looked at Xu Nan with complicated eyes, and some even began to look at Rafal with similar gazes.
In their eyes, perhaps Rafal has found a strong team-mate.
The force field meteor just now, and the lava burst that killed the basilisk, all showed that this spellcaster was a ruthless character.
Although the treasure hunters are numerous, they have suffered heavy losses in the battle with the basilisk, and now they are unable to form an effective combat force, let alone do things to grab loot.
In fact, although this group of people has bad intentions, they are still very clear-headed.
Like Rafal, they also know what to do when they encounter someone they can't afford to mess with β it's almost too late, and the best thing to do is to obediently remain silent and then follow far behind to pick up the leaks.
A master like Xu Nan must have his own arrogance, and he generally doesn't care about them.
Treasure hunters have a lot of experience in this area.
β¦β¦
The hydra snake itself is not worth much.
Its most important bone fragment has been taken away by Qin Lele.
The rest is snake scales and snake meat. These scales are very fine, have good defense, can be collected to make some snake scale armor, and can be worn in summer and used as a small air conditioner; As for the snake meat, it was purely because Xu Nan had a good appetite and wanted to taste it.
Of course, it is definitely impossible to let Xu Nan do the rough work of peeling, scraping scales, and cutting meat, and Rafal is obviously not able to do it alone.
He thought about it, snapped his fingers, and used the astral summoning technique to summon the twelve astral goblins.
These Astral Goblins had a unique advantage in doing chores, and soon, the flesh and bones of the multi-headed snake gradually dwindled.
This scene made everyone a little frightened.
Rafal was the only one who seemed to feel that his role was under threat and worked harder.
Fortunately, the Astral Goblin is only good at hard work, and the technical aspect is definitely not as good as Rafal, who has a family heirloom, and later, Xu Nan only let them do the work of cutting meat, and the more elaborate loot collection part was handed over to Rafal.
Rafal puffed out his chest proudly as he worked, probably proud of having found a sense of belonging.
The treasure hunters looked at it with envy.
Fifteen minutes later, the completion was successful, and at the edge of the test area, only a skeleton remained, and a small number of useless parts.
"Let's go."
Xu Nan greeted.
He thought about it for a while, and didn't cancel the summoning of the astral goblins, although these guys have average combat effectiveness, they can at least come in handy, in the Frost Giant's Crypt, Xu Nan still has some manpower shortages.
Moreover, they are all scouts by profession and can help avoid many traps and dangers.
The same goes for the celestial goose.
This eldest brother's combat effectiveness has been proven in several battles, and the current Xu Nan has basically regarded him and the former Sister Tom as pets of the same level.
The group walked away in a mighty way, heading towards the depths of the experimental area.
After a long time, those treasure hunters dared to keep up, and they kept a certain distance, for fear that Xu Nan would be unhappy, and the backhand was a boring and monotonous but extremely violent force field meteor.
These small details were all seen by Rafal.
He felt that he was also honored as Xu Nan's trophy, so he couldn't help but praise:
"Mr. Su is really amazing."
"I've heard that for normal spellcasters, the maximum number of summons is twelve!"
"I don't know how to describe how to describe you're able to break through this limitation...... It's amazing. β
Xu Nan didn't feel anything in front of him, but he was suddenly stunned in the back.
"Breaking through twelve? Aren't the twelve Astral Goblins? β
He asked solemnly.
This is a very serious matter, his secondary monster summoning technique has been optimized, and it can only summon a maximum of twelve, and it is impossible to surpass.
He stared at the goblin swarm and counted. Rafal rubbed his eyes and muttered:
"No, it's thirteen!"
At this time, Xu Nan also counted it, and it was indeed thirteen.
What's going on?
He wondered. Could it be that there are male and female pairs in those astral goblins that you summoned? Gave birth to a little goblin for his monster summoning spell?
This explanation is obviously not very reliable.
Fortunately, at this moment, a familiar shadow limped out of the goblin group.
Is it lame......
"I ...... I'd like to come and help......"
From the secret method imprint, there was a dry consciousness of the lame brother.
Xu Nan was stunned for a moment, but then gradually understood.
The two exchanged ideas with great difficulty.
It turned out that after receiving Xu Nan's repeated funding, Brother Lame's strength in the Star Boundary has developed rapidly, and he has already occupied the mountain as the king, has the status of a small lord, and his level strength has actually reached the fourth order!
It's nothing short of a miracle.
You must know that when Xu Nan first summoned the lame brother, he was only a first-order, and he was still a guy who could only pretend to be dead.
"My investment really matters!"
He thought so.
The lame brother came uninvited this time because there was nothing to do in the territory, and the nearby enemies had just been cleared; He pondered and wanted to start paying off his debts, but found that with the accumulation of compound interest, the money he owed Xu Nan had been rolling over more and more!
As a far-sighted goblin, the lame brother immediately panicked.
He began to realize that if he didn't repay his debts, he might have to work for Xu Nanbai for many years in the future.
While Xu Nan was using the secondary summoning technique, he himself was uninvited.
This is probably a loophole in the monster summoning technique.
Brother Lame's intention is so obvious, Xu Nan is naturally not the kind of person who is not approachable.
He enthusiastically took the lame brother's hand and said that there should be no hurry to repay the debt, if the lame brother wants to work for himself, then he will naturally give a high salary.
The lame brother looked a lot more relaxed, and a smile appeared on his taciturn face.
However, in the next second, Xu Nan began to introduce him to the latest equipment and munitions he had obtained from Paradise Lost.
The lame brother instantly thought of the previous "investments", and couldn't help but panic a little, looking very resistant.
But soon, he couldn't walk anymore, looking at the list of equipment and patterns listed by Xu Nan, he showed a really fragrant expression.
It didn't take long for a new investment agreement to be released.
Although he owes more debts and has more interest to repay, the lame brother is full of confidence in his goblin life!
The determination to work for Xu Nan has become more and more firm.
When Xu Nan and the lame brother were in a relationship, they were not idle and kept on the road.
The situation in the experimental area is different from the equipment area and the leisure area.
The number and strength of the monsters here have increased dramatically, and I don't know if they were attracted by the divinity of the frost giants.
However, Xu Nan has a squad of goblin scouts.
To a large extent, they avoided trouble for Xu Nan.
As for the remaining monsters that didn't have long eyes, Xu Nan didn't make a move himself, and he was cleaned up by the lame brother and the astral goblins in one go.
At most, Brother Goose shot the meaning.
Push all the way.
By the time they had passed through the experimental area and arrived at a magnificent palace, Rafal had already thrown himself to the ground in admiration.
Any summoned creature has fourth-order combat power, and its own strength is naturally self-evident.
This strengthened Rafal's heart to hug his thighs.
By the way, it doesn't seem to matter that even the shame is gone.
Xu Nan turned around by chance and found that Rafal had no shame to hide, and he was immediately a little disappointed, wondering when he would lose this guy.
Anyway, it seems to be a burden to carry it next.
"Ahead of me should be the Frost Giant's Tomb."
"Ancient gods like the Frost Giants, their tombs are as magnificent as the dormitories before they were alive, but I don't know if we are the first to enter."
Rafal was a little excited.
Of course not the first batch, the Arcane Empire is the first batch.
Xu Nan didn't bother to complain, just nodded and walked in with the group.
The Frost Giant's Palace is very tall, twice as tall as the experimental area, the stone pillars are inlaid with mesmerizing gems, the ceiling seems to be a deep starry sky, and the pitch-black color scheme looks mysterious and distant under the illumination of the everlasting lamp.
They traverse a corridor lined with ancient frescoes about the Frost Giant's exploits and his seventeen children.
The Frost Giant does seem to be a vegetarian, which is not difficult to see from his children's race, except for one of them, who looks more like Artsam, the rest are crooked melons and cracked dates, and even humanoids can hardly be called humanoids.
After all, it's the age of the old gods. At that time, Lannice was fine in the Garden of Eden.
There were a lot of priceless gems in the Frost Giant's Palace, but Xu Nan didn't make a move.
Qin Lele confirmed that each of these gems was connected to some mechanism, and digging up one at random might trigger a chain reaction - what was even more uncomfortable was that these gems were quite difficult to dig.
Although the Frost Giant has fallen, his buildings are still forbidden by divine power and divinity.
Digging for gems is thankless, and it's no wonder that the wizards who first entered the place thousands of years ago didn't take anything with them.
Behind the mural corridor is a side hall where there are many statues of the children of the frost giants.
Before Xu Nan could carefully examine these statues, Qin Lele, who reacted faster, found someone else in the shadow of the palace in front of him!
"Someone is ahead of us?"
"It's Geralt!"
Qin Lele's face was overjoyed, her task was to follow this middle-aged pastor, who had been blown away by the storm of divine prohibition before, and was secretly worried.
Geralt also relaxed a little when he met Xu Nan and others.
He was holding a girl in his hand, it was little Jasmine, at this time little Jasmine's lips were purple, clenched her teeth, unconscious, and she didn't know what trouble she was in.
"Can you help my teacher?"
"He has a bit of a lot of enemies, and he asked me to wait for him here......"
Geralt was unusually nervous.
Xu Nan found that the black cat did not follow Geralt, which was a strange thing.
He motioned to Geralt not to rush and speak slowly.
Geralt took a deep breath before telling the storyβ
At the time of the Divine Storm, he had been with Quelas, including Jasmine Jr.
When they woke up, they found that they had arrived directly in the testing area. The only trouble was that the three of them and two of the guards got separated.
In order to accomplish his goal, Quelas took them to the Frost Giant's palace and found the Frost Giant's coffin!
According to Geralt's speculation, what his teacher wanted was in the coffin.
But before they could activate the coffin, a powerful wanderer arrived with a group of younger brothers.
A fierce battle ensued, and in the process, Jasmine fainted due to her accidental injuries, but luckily two guards arrived in time. They protected Quelas, who was able to burst into full strength.
He used his magic to send little Jasmine and Geralt off the battlefield, and now he's fighting the wanderers with two guards!
"The place where they fought was right ahead."
"There are about two corridors along the road, and there are a couple of libraries next to them."
Geralt was anxious and helpless: "I really can't help, and little Jasmine doesn't seem to be in good condition." β
"I begged the goddess, but as you know, the goddess has never paid much attention to me."
It's sad and funny, if Gray or the black cat were here, they'd probably laugh at Geralt.
Xu Nan nodded.
According to Geralt's description, he was a little relieved.
Since Quelas has the ability to teleport Geralt out, it means that the "powerful wanderer" is most likely not Greenlight himself. It's not a legend's shot, things are under control.
Xiao Jasmine's condition Xu Nan checked, and it didn't seem that the injury was very serious, probably because the mind was too consumed, and he was unexpectedly stimulated, and fainted directly.
Still a kid after all.
"Well, stay here, protect Geralt, and stay safe."
"I'll go take a look."
Xu Nan made a decision.
Qin Lele and Rafal were both left behind by him, the former needed to follow Geralt, this was her mission, and Xu Nan didn't want her to take risks; The latter, at this point, this family heirloom treasure hunter is actually dispensable, Xu Nan didn't throw him away immediately, he is already very kind.
The lame brother and the Astral Goblins were also left behind and ordered to follow Qin Lele's orders.
Although this chick sometimes has no score, her brain is still very clear at this time.
He himself, with Big Brother Goose, rushed quickly on the magic carpet to the direction that Geralt was pointing.
If I'm not mistaken, under the coffin of the Frost Giant's dormitory is the entrance to Ron's tomb.
Xu Nan didn't have much interest in the treasure of the frost giant, the ancestral tomb of the old ancestor was his goal!
β¦β¦
The main hall of the Frost Giant's dormitory.
The fierce fighting became mild.
Two guards held on to Quelras's side, stopping any attempt by the loiterers from carrying out a surprise attack.
Quelrath's magic mark was duly laid, and the striking brilliance deprived the wanderers of their ability to stealth.
Although the opponents were outnumbered, Quellas was confident of beating them.
Without legends, it's not a problem.
Under the legend, a high-level magician with a super strong guard is invincible.
Unless you encounter a stronger mage.
Apparently not here.
And the reason why the battle has become less fierce is not that Quelas is soft-hearted, or that the wanderers have a conscience.
It's because some people have found the main hall again.
They hid in the shadows, but their eyes were fixed on the coffin in the center.
These people are the elite of the treasure hunters, and although it is not a matter of concern to fight alone, the strength that can be exerted together is still considerable.
Neither Queelas nor the Wanderers of the Ninth Estate were willing to fight each other and were taken advantage of by a group of vultures.
Under the confrontation between the three forces, the situation has become delicate.
Everyone knows that the coffin is the key.
It's strange that there's no trace of the Arcane Empire setting foot here, but it's just the truth.
I don't know what trouble the Arcane Empire encountered in the Frost Giant's dormitory back then, and their research footprints only stopped at the experimental area......
Maybe there were a lot of monsters guarding the Frost Giant's dormitory back then, but now these monsters are all old and dead.
That's what most people think.
But Quellas doesn't think so.
There was always a sense of foreboding in his heart.
He wanted a quick fix.
And what he wanted, in that coffin, lay quietly for I don't know how many years.
"It's just one last step away."
He told himself silently.
Then his heart became hot and his breathing became rapid.
The atmosphere became more and more tense, and everyone was silently on the strings.
When the heartstrings are plucked, that's when the scuffle breaks out.
Only those who survive are eligible for the treasure of the Frost Giant!
However, at this moment, a light figure suddenly landed from the ceiling.
He was like a dexterous spider, so quiet that by the time everyone reacted, his feet were already on the edge of the coffin!
Someone cut off the beard!
At that moment, everyone realized!
The battle between Quelas and the Wanderers came to an instant halt.
Fireballs, Ice Arrows, Projectiles, Throwing Knives, Curses, Slippers, Bananas...... Countless hidden weapons, visible or invisible, have been smashed out!
At that sudden beard cutter!
The man was bold, he just shook the cloak on his body, and the whole person looked like a gymnast, his hands were propped on the coffin and he groped repeatedly, touching several patterns in a row.
"A bunch of idiots!"
He sneered, the translucent cloak covered his whole person, and all the hidden weapons would be subjected to a strange traction when they hit the cloak, and finally ran away crookedly!
"I don't have any interest in the Frost Giant, so keep fighting......"
"Hah!"
"I found it."
The man raised an eyebrow, his tone full of surprise.
In the next second, about five meters in front of the coffin, a piece of floor suddenly stood up, and below it was a dark water.
He didn't say a word, just jumped into the water and disappeared.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Most people don't know that there is a cave under the Frost Giant's dormitory.
Only Xu Nan pinched his thigh violently:
", someone actually cut off their beard!"
"It's still Lao Tzu!"
The magic carpet suddenly activated, piercing the air like a sharp arrow, and plunged smoothly into the water.
It also made a nice splash.
