Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dungeon

It has been a few days since the chip upgrade, and Zhu Ba is familiar with his newly added ability, since he has more expertise in weapons (claws), Zhu Ba finds that every time he stretches out the Edman metal claws, the outside is covered with a layer of white light, which makes the already sharp claws to a higher level.

In addition, the Fearless Roar in the support power also increases the attack power, which can make the enemy's vital points more obvious.

"Advisor, the master told you to come in. ”

Early in the morning, Zhu Ba was testing the sharpness of his claws in the room when a kobold walked in and informed Zhu Ba in a language with a dog barking sound.

"Wang, advisor, the master called you over, Wang. ”

When Zhu Ba came to the hall, Eye Demon Watt was floating in the empty central hall of the castle, and when he saw Zhu Ba coming, the Eye Demon floated over.

"Here's the thing, during the days you've been out, the kobolds were mining stones on the hillside north of the castle when they suddenly collapsed. Then, a passage to the underground was revealed. Watt explained as he floated out of the castle, with Juba following behind.

The hillside was not far from the castle, and Watt pointed in the direction with one eye, and Zhu Ba saw the irregularly shaped, obviously deep cave.

"In the past few days, I have also sent a lot of kobolds and lizardmen down to explore, and they have never come up again. After Watt finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Ba with expectant eyes.

Zhu Ba immediately understood the mind of the deformed sphere in front of him.

"I know what you mean, but are you sure there's something in this cavern worth venturing into?"

"Yes, I've probed it with magic, and there are very strong magic fluctuations in it. Watt shook his eyes excitedly.

"But, you have to understand that we are a partnership, and I can't take a big risk to go into the cave and help you find what you need without pay. Zhu Ba made his own request, although he did not say it explicitly.

The Eye Demon was silent for a few minutes, the movement of the small eyes on the stalk indicating that he was thinking.

Zhu Ba was indeed not his charm, but the advisor who signed the agreement, although Watt knew that he was in the evil camp, but he preferred to be the orderly evil rather than the chaotic evil like the other eye demons.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, the things you get in it are divided according to the total value, you are three and I are seven. ”

"Deal. ”

After agreeing on the events of exploring the cave, both Juba and Watt return to the castle, Juba needs to instruct the servants to prepare the items that can be used in the adventure, and Watt needs to rest and meditate, and prepare the spells needed to explore the cave the next day.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・ the dividing line of time・・・・・・・・・・・・・

The next morning soon came, and the glow of Los Sanda shone again on the land, especially baking the bare desert around the castle.

Zhu Ba and Watt came to the cave, the kobold slave behind him was carrying supplies, the two didn't say anything, just nodded to each other, Watt ordered the kobold who followed him to go down first, then Zhu Ba, and finally himself.

The dim vision of the feline plays a big role in the cave, which can be seen gradually extending downward, and the rubble that rolled down during the collapse has been cleaned by the kobolds who entered the cave earlier, leaving a natural rock layer with a shimmering grayish sheen.

The cave twisted and spread, and Zhu Ba's thinking tentacles were derived, and he tried his best to sense the movement around him. However, there was silence all around, and only the footsteps of Zhu Ba and his party echoed in the cave.

A dim yellow light suddenly appeared in front of him, and a large part of Zhu Ba's thinking tentacles dissipated in this dim light.

"Stop moving forward and stand by now!" Zhu Ba stopped his steps and signaled to everyone in a loud voice.

Watt, the Eye Demon, floated from behind and unleashed a light spell, and the cave was as bright as day.

Under this bright light, Zhu Ba saw that the dozens of feet in front of him were no longer natural rock formations, but instead a kind of rectangular stone brick corridor, which was emitting a dim yellow light from the walls. This kind of light Zhu Ba had seen before, in the underground pyramid of the goblin cave.

"The corridor ahead was full of traps from the beginning, and the kobold I sent had no loss at all in the cave they had just walked through, but only a few dozen feet forward in this corridor triggered a toxin trap. ”

Watt stretched out an eye stalk as a finger and looked at it, and within a few dozen feet of entering the hallway were scattered nearly a dozen human child-like skeletons, gray and weathered as if they had fallen for decades, not just a few days ago. This made Zhu Ba's eyes shrink for a moment, and in retrospect, if the corridor of the pyramid was also laid out like this, Zhu Ba would not be able to stand here.

"Watt, have you used magic to detect inside?" The tricky situation ahead was unexpected, Zhu Ba looked up at Watt floating in the air and asked.

The Eye Demon used six eye stalks to make a gesture of human regret.

"It's detected, but it's full of magical aura, and the intensity is no less than ten magic traps. ”

"I'm in trouble, I'll check it out first. Zhu Bamao stepped forward and stopped at the edge of the corridor, carefully observing the corridor while comparing the difference between the pyramid labyrinth corridor in his mind and these corridors.

In this comparison, Zhu Ba found a problem, the patterns of the corridor on the inner side of the pyramid are all concave, and here the stone bricks with two patterns of concave and convex exist at the same time, and in the lower half of the wall, there is also an extra kind of stone brick with eyes painted in the corridor here, and this kind of stone brick only appears when the floor tiles with concave patterns appear.

However, in the dim light, these subtle differences are not easy to notice.

"You walk over and watch your step, and only step on the stone bricks with a concave pattern. ”

Zhu Ba ordered a kobold to step forward and advance in the way he said, and the trembling kobold took a few steps forward, and when he found that he was not harmed, he rushed forward happily.

"Stop, jump in place. ”

Zhu Ba ordered the kobold outside the corridor, and under the control of the eye demon's charm, the kobold jumped up happily, and before his feet left the ground, he screamed and was turned to ashes by the flames spewing from the wall.

Zhu Ba found that although the kobold finally stepped on the recessed floor tiles, there were stone tiles with eyes on the side of the wall.

"Okay, I've found a pattern. Zhu Ba took the lead and stepped into the corridor, he turned around and said loudly.

Follow me and don't step in the wrong place. Watts, don't float too high. ”

The group slowly marched towards the inner side of the corridor, and for a moment there was only heavy breathing and light footsteps in the corridor.
