Chapter 159: Great Drew's Treasure
Atwood excitedly twisted his big fat ass and paced back and forth, his little dark eyes glinting with unquenchable longing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He had forgotten how many years he had spent in this dark place, he knew that his body must have had a hard time adapting to the wind and rain outside, he was sure that the light of the sun god would surely burn his eyes, but what was it compared to going home? he had secretly sworn that if that priest could undo his transfiguration, he would erase the hatred that had accumulated for countless years from his memory, forgive the damned priests, and if the empire needed it, he would still give his all.
In the blink of an eye, Atwood had made a decision, and the rats around him parted in the middle, retreated like a tidal wave to both sides, and soon disappeared into the small holes that were secretly tied up. He walked up to Liang Ke step by step, and said excitedly, "Ah...... I am willing to put aside my hostility and leave this place with you, and pray that you will help me lift this damned curse. ”
Liang Ke secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his face was cloudy, he put away the long knife, sat opposite Atwood with a pinched brow, and sighed.
"Well, if you were willing to listen to me just now, it would have been natural to take you out, but now it's ......."
Liang Ke didn't finish speaking, squinted at Pinto in the distance, and then pointed to the demon warriors who fell to the ground and groaned, and then shook his head helplessly. Atwood immediately understood what he meant, and quickly pouted and apologized.
"It was just a misunderstanding, actually, we don't have a deep hatred between us, right? Of course, in the battle, the demon brothers were killed and wounded, and Atwood is willing to give enough wealth to make up for my mistakes. ”
"Wealth?"
"Make amends?"
Liang Ke and Pinto said almost in unison. Pinto glanced at Liang Ke's obscene face when he heard the wealth, and continued coldly: "What kind of wealth can restore the soul of the elite warriors of the Demon Clan? Hmph!"
Pinto, who had a tendon, seemed to have to break the net, and Liang Ke hurriedly jumped out to do peace.
"General, this battle that shouldn't have happened in the first place can't continue, there will inevitably be battle losses in the war, even if we kill him, we can't let the Heroic Spirit return to us, since he is willing to provide the corresponding wealth, I think it's better to take a look first, maybe it can help the demons some practical things, maybe it's okay!"
As a qualified general, controlling one's emotions is a basic quality, Pinto snorted coldly and stopped talking, Liang Ke patted him on the shoulder, and then turned his head to look at Atwood strangely.
"Your suggestion is acceptable, but ...... With all due respect, I really don't see any valuable treasures in your honor. ”
"Haha! You have no doubt about it, although I have experienced too many years of inhuman life, the beast god has not abandoned his followers, I will take you to see the treasure that God has given me this fat otter, maybe it is a huge wealth that you have not seen, as long as everyone can move it, you can take it. It's just that...... Just a small problem!"
Atwood walked slowly to the small puddle, pointed to the calm surface of the water, and said, "The entrance to the treasure is this water hole, and if you want to enter the treasure, you must know how to dive, I don't know who has such skills?"
Pinto and Liang Ke suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this guy would hide here all the time, and if he was in danger, he could escape through the waterway below, and his own people would not be able to catch him no matter what.
Pinto shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Liang Ke, revealing a wry smile, and Piedro explained in a rough voice: "My lord! The demons have one of their biggest weaknesses, that is, they are naturally afraid of water, and we usually don't fill the bathtub with water in our baths, let alone dive down to find some treasures. ”
Liang Ke also twisted his brows into a knot, he tested the water temperature with his hands, because the temperature in the cave was already low, coupled with the fact that there was no sunlight all year round, the water in the pool was cold and biting, he knew very well that even a diving master like himself could not last long below.
"How far is it from here to the treasure you are talking about?"
Atwood touched a few whiskers on his lips, thought about it seriously, and then replied, "It's not far, but the waterways below are criss-crossed, and there are many detours, if you can follow me, it won't take you half a minute." ”
Liang Ke was very confident in his diving ability, let alone half a minute, even if he stayed underwater for three or five minutes, it was not difficult, he let go of his worries, and simply ate some jerky by the puddle to replenish the physical strength lost due to the battle. To be on the safe side, he tied a string around his waist, and then followed Atwood and plunged into the little puddle.
When he went down to the water, Liang Ke found that this waterhole was like an inverted funnel, small at the top and large at the bottom. The underwater stone pillars are densely packed, dividing the vast space into a labyrinth. There was an undercurrent surging under the calm water, and Liang Ke was swept away by the current before he could swim far, and there was hardly any light in the water, but fortunately, Atwood swam over in time to grab Liang Ke's collar, so that he would not get lost in the underwater maze.
A minute has passed, and there is still no light in sight, the biting cold makes Liang Ke's body temperature drain quickly, and his hands and feet have begun to feel sore, maybe in the next moment, he will lose control of his body, no matter what, he must pull the rope around his waist before he loses consciousness, so that Pidero will definitely pull himself back quickly, fortunately, the fat otter did not take the opportunity to escape, then the treasure he said must exist, Liang Ke with such belief, gritted his teeth and followed Atwood upstream.
Due to the anti-current sneaking, the loss of physical strength is much faster, the oxygen in the body has been completely used up, and the vertigo reminds Liang Ke that it is time for him to make a choice, Liang Ke stretched out his hand to his waist, and just as he was about to pull the lifeline, he was suddenly slapped by Atwood on the forehead with his tail, and then he saw a white splash above his head, and the fat otter jumped out flexibly. Liang Ke also hurriedly tried his last strength, stirred his arms and swam up, rushed out of the water in three or two, and gasped for breath with both hands on the shore, and after half a minute, Liang Ke gathered enough strength to climb ashore, lying flat on the ground, closing his eyes and enjoying the pleasure brought by the air.
When Liang Ke opened his eyes, the fat otter Atwood was looking at him apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Monsieur Aragorn, I forgot that humans are not a good swimmer, so it will take you more time to swim here than my otter. Hey, hey, but, you see, it's all worth it, isn't it?"
After speaking, Atwood pointed to the back of Liang Ke's head, Liang Ke got up with a grunt, turned his head to look behind him, and everything in front of him stunned him, a guy who was rich and noble in his previous life and this life.
It was a larger, natural cavern, and unlike the dark environment they had been in, there was a natural cavity on the top of the high cave, and a beam of heavenly light shone straight down, and at the end of that light was a hill. Liang Ke picked up a piece of metal with a yellow sheen and took a bite and determined that it was a hill made entirely of gold vessels, ornaments, and coins, and these golden treasures reflected the light to every corner of the cave, staining everything here golden.
Liang Ke untied the rope around his waist, tied it to a stone pillar, and circled around this "treasure mountain", countless gold mixed with countless gems of various colors and unknown magic cores, fist-sized diamonds, and amethysts as thick as city bricks can be seen everywhere. Liang Ke searched his memory for so much wealth that probably surpassed the treasury of any one country, and he quickly concluded that this was the "treasure of Dayano" that had appeared in the Book of Jonah.
Dayano was the Demon Emperor of the year, he invaded the continent with his army, but he was quickly defeated, but in the process of his attack and retreat, he looted countless human wealth. On the way back from the demon tribe fleeing back to the abyss, these riches have become a burden, and the Demon Emperor Dayano ordered the plundered wealth to be hidden, hoping that one day when he enters the mainland again, these riches can provide better protection for the clansmen. However, what I didn't expect was that after this retreat, the demon clan began to decline, and there was no chance to return to the mainland, and these riches also disappeared from history and people's memories.
Liang Ke picked up a pearl the size of a goose egg from his feet, and asked Atwood as he admired the pale pink luster reflected by the bead through the light of the sky.
"For so many years, you have been guarding these things that you can't eat or use?"
"Hehehe!"
The fat otter smiled miserably, shook his head, and said, "The first time I saw these things, I almost fainted with excitement, but after a long time, facing these cold metals, it was simply an ordeal. ”
"Suffering! Hahaha! You're right, if it were me, I'd probably go crazy soon. ”
"I was close to going crazy at one point, but there was a lot more to it than just these metals, which didn't do anything to me. ”
Fat Otter Atwood leads Liang Ke around a group of stalactite columns, and Liang Ke is surprised to find that there is a brighter space in the place where the vulgar golden light does not shine.
The stalactites here are relatively short, the stalagmites grow from the ground, less than the height of Liang Ke's belt, and at the top of each stalagmite, there is a night pearl that exudes soft light, and the light is staggered, turning this space of less than ten meters into a shadowless area with no dead ends.
Atwood struggled to move his ass onto the low stone bed covered in rat skin, and took a book from a box next to the bed and handed it to Liang Ke. Through the soft light, Liang Ke could see clearly the mottled handwriting on the book cover, "The Relationship between the Witch Doctor and the Curse".
"There are so many books here, and when I'm lonely, only these parchments can make me forget that I'm already an otter. The more books I read, I found myself better suited to learning magic, but no matter how hard I meditated, I couldn't accumulate a little bit of magic. ”
"Hehe! If a 'Great Drew' has mastered the ability to use magic again, then I am afraid that the god of luck must be ready to choose you as a son-in-law. ”
Liang Ke threw the book in his hand on the bed, took out another one from the box, and after he glanced at the title of the book, he immediately asked curiously, "His Excellency the Earl also studies space magic?"
"It's not research. Atwood cocked his beard and said proudly: "Actually, after I read these boxes of books, I feel that space magic is not difficult, if I have magic power, I should be able to cast some more basic space magic." ”
"Like: Open this ring?"
