Chapter 274: Survival of the Fittest
[You try to unlock the shackles in front of you, your luck value today is: 9, the success rate of unlocking: 1.2%, note: the shackles that fail to unlock will close the lock hole, and you can only try to unlock again after 24 hours. 】
This lock that traps the Libra is quite smart, with a blocking function, once it fails to open, it will automatically block the lock hole, which means that it can only be tried once a day, avoiding the possibility of being brute-forced.
Fortunately, Libra and Capricorn didn't try to unlock it casually before, otherwise if they were locked keyholes, Mu You wouldn't be able to help them.
[You used the 'Lock Heart Hole Open', and the shackles snapped and popped open, and the Holy Light Nana was free.] 】
This type of shielding is ineffective for Mu You, and after going back dozens of times, the lock was successfully unlocked.
[Holy Light Nana: Thank you! 】
[Curse of Winter: The vampire from before is likely to have entered the tomb, do we need to catch him together?] 】
[Captain Ghost: No need, I'll take care of the vampire, and the monsters here only recognize my identity, so let's leave first.] 】
[Holy Light Nana: It turns out that this is your territory...... It's rude. 】
[Captain Ghost: It's nothing, and thanks to your reminder, I found out that someone had infiltrated here.] 】
After saying goodbye, the two were the first to leave, they had entered through the 'door', and they were to return within a day.
Mu You turned his head and collected the loot.
[You pick up the shackles on the ground.] 】
[Draw the ground as a dungeon: A magical shackle, after being placed in a certain position, the shackle will automatically fall into invisibility, and the first person to touch the shackle will be locked in place until the lock is unlocked. Shackle owner: Rhein Mai. (Temporary borrowing status: automatically collected after 7 days and 05 hours)】
It's an epic item!
It's a pity that this item seems to have an owner, but it is only lent out for people, and after a week, no matter where the shackles are, it will automatically return to the owner.
"Rhein Mail?"
Mu You looked at the name displayed in the text. Who is this man? Are the vampires mentioned by the Libra two? However, the description of the man appeared to be that of a male vampire, and the name looked like a woman.
Mu You couldn't figure it out for a while, but at this moment, the gargoyle sent out to scout returned and brought back a message.
[The gargoyle flies back to your shoulder and reports to you what it has detected: in the middle of the tomb, far from the cave, a male vampire is sneakily crawling, looking for the direction of the secret chamber at the top of the tomb. 】
[You arranged for the war eagle to follow the gargoyle, and through the perspective of the war eagle, you really saw the vampire who smuggled in.] 】
[Rodney (Level 13): A vampire servant from the Rhine family, with average combat effectiveness, but with a strong ability to survive, as well as a shrewd and greedy personality. 】
There is very little information feedback, but looking at this guy's actions, it seems that he can hide his aura to a certain extent, so he dares to wander in the tomb.
Since Mu You extracted the vampire skin, the coercion in the tomb has disappeared, but there are still many high-level monsters as tomb guardians.
This guy deliberately used map fragments to trick the two Libras into the cave, and it was precisely to use them to attract the attention of the monsters, so as to create time for himself to act.
Confirming that it was only a thirteenth-level vampire servant who came in, Mu You relaxed a lot.
Now Mu You can directly order the tomb keepers to surround and kill this guy, but don't worry, first ask the purpose of this guy's coming.
Thinking of this, he manipulated the character to return to the top secret room, opened the ice coffin, took out the bodies of Vivian and Grandma Lin Xue and put them away, and then he lay down in it by himself.
[You lie down in a cold coffin, watching the vampire's servants through the eyes of a war eagle. 】
[Under your orders, the tomb keepers did not leave the cave, but still gathered in front of the cave. The vampire servants had plenty of time to move, and after crawling for more than ten minutes, they finally came to the secret room at the top of the tomb. 】
[The vampire servant pushes open the door of the chamber and steps inside.] 】
[After looking around, he quickly walked to the coffin where you were.] 】
[The vampire servant saw the vampire claws and ghost cloak you had stored in your hand, and greed flashed in his eyes. 】
[After looking around and making sure no one had noticed, the vampire servant swallowed his saliva, quietly opened the lid of the coffin, and reached out to touch your vampire claws.] ...... you choose]
[You suddenly opened your eyes and grabbed the other person's hand!] 】
["Rodney, you seem to be interested in my paws? You stared at the other person with a grim face. 】
[The moment Rodney saw your eyes open, he was startled, knelt on the ground in panic, and explained to you in a panic: "No, Lord Liston, you have misunderstood, I just came here to wake you up on the order of Miss Mail......]
["Miss Mail? You wonder by the name he mentioned. 】
["It's your own sister, have you forgotten? Rodney looks at you with a strange look. 】
[Obviously, your question aroused his suspicions.] You choose to reply ......]
"My sister......
Mu You looked at the text prompt, so this person was sent by the family of the vampire count, and it was not strange that his family would know where he was buried.
It's just that no one has come to see him for so many years, and there must be a reason for the sudden visit at this time.
Mu You enters a message in the text box.
["I have just been resurrected, and my memory is still a little confused. "You casually found a reason. 】
[Your explanation reassured the other party, but there was still a little doubt in his eyes.] ...... you choose]
[You chose to expose the other party's lies! 】
[You have absorbed the skin of the vampire count, so you know best that Liston's resurrection time should not be now, but in the more distant future, and the other party must have another purpose here, you choose to make an angry expression and continue to ask about his origin. 】
[Rodney is a servant of the Rhine family, and he has no power to resist the vampires of the Rhine family, and he is frightened under your coercion, and he does not dare to hide it, so he hurriedly told his origin one by one. 】
[The millennial vampire clan meeting is about to be held, and the vampires sleeping all over the place need to participate, but the vampires are a race that escapes the world, and in order to avoid being discovered by the witchers and the people of the church who are gathering in large numbers, it is necessary to use the 'heart of the mist' to hide the clan meeting place. 】
[And the Heart of the Mist, a thousand years ago, was taken away by the vampire Count Liston for safekeeping.] Now that the vampire prince has demanded that the Rhine family hand over the Heart of the Mist as soon as possible, Rhine Mai has no choice but to arrange for servants to come and find his brother's grave. 】
[However, according to the information left by Liston at the beginning, he still has 9,000 years to be resurrected.] Thus Mai had two orders to his minions: first, if her brother had not yet awakened, let Rodney quietly take the Heart of the Mist and leave. Second, if the elder brother has already woken up, he can give the prepared letter to the other party. 】
[After Rodney finished explaining, he hurriedly took out the letters and things prepared by his master and handed them to you. 】
[You have obtained a handwritten letter from 'Rhein Mail.'] 】
[You have received an invitation to the 'Vampire Clan'. 】
"Heart of the Mist...... The vampire clan will ......"
There are two new terms mentioned in this text, and the clan council will not talk about it, it must be an internal matter of the vampire clan, which he did not know in the first place.
It's the 'Heart of Mist', which sounds like an object, is it the source of the fog around the Misty Mountain?
[You open the letter and read it, in the letter, Rheinmai first expressed his miss for his brother with flowery rhetoric, and then focused on mentioning that in the middle of next month, the vampire clan will be held, please be sure to rush back to the family with the 'Heart of Mist'......]
Let me go home with the Heart of Mist in half a month, but I don't know where this Heart of Fog is......
"Get up. "After listening to the explanation, you didn't continue to embarrass Rodney and get him up. 】
[Rodney rose up as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly took his leave to you. The pressure on you is too great, and now that the letter has been handed over to you and his task is completed, he can't wait to leave. ...... you choose]
"Stop! "You suddenly order the other person to stop. 】
Rodney looks at you apprehensively and asks if you have any other commands. 】
[You tell the other party that you still need to continue to sleep and won't wake up until nine thousand years later, so you can't go to the clan meeting next month, so let the other party go back directly with the heart of the mist.] 】
Mu You is not interested in the so-called clan meeting, but he is still very interested in the heart of the mist, he doesn't know where the east xz is, but this servant is here to get this thing, he must know the location, so he is ready to fool this servant to find out the thing for him.
[Rodney's eyes flashed with greed again when he heard your words. As a servant, he doesn't dare to make irresponsible comments about your decisions, but just waits carefully for you to take out the Heart of Mist. 】
["Do you want me to do this little thing myself? You reprimanded the other person with a serious face. 】
["Don't work hard for you, I'll come, I'll come!" Rodney hastily apologizes to you, and then retreats to the fireplace in the chamber, as if ready to burrow into the chimney. 】
"Into the chimney? Could it be that the Heart of the Mist is hidden on the top of the mountain? ”
Mu You's heart moved, and he hurriedly clicked on the panel, and clicked on the 'Soul Fire' he had just learned in the spell bar.
The environment at the top of the mountain is not something that ordinary people can bear, this person is going up the mountain without saying a word, so it seems that he may have a way to withstand hypothermia on the top of the mountain, so Mu You temporarily decided to add a 'monitoring technique' to him, remotely monitor his every move, and see how he survives on the mountain.
[You unleashed the 'soul fire' on Rodney, and Rodney immediately felt the ignited flame in his soul, knowing that you were spying on him, but because of your authority, he didn't dare to say anything more, and silently climbed up the chimney. 】
[Through the perspective of the Soul Fire, you see Rodney climb to the top of the mountain after a difficult climb. 】
[In front of you, there is a white world covered with ice and snow, white snow-capped mountains are connected, the wind is mixed with frost howling, you see Rodney has difficulty breathing, and quickly enters a state of hypothermia, and his health drops at a rate of 5% per second......]
Rodney ignores the pain his body is undergoing and walks in a certain direction in the snow. Ten seconds later, he is only half of his life, but from this point on, you notice that his health is starting to slow down. 】
[After thirty seconds, Rodney's health remains...... 5%]
[After fifty seconds, Rodney's health remains...... 1%]
[After 100 seconds, Rodney's life is 1 point remaining......]
[You find that Rodney's life has stopped falling!] 】
[This is Rodney's innate ability 'survival of the fittest', as the low-level servant of the vampire clan, he did not awaken a strong combat ability, but awakened Xiaoqiang's tenacious survival ability, which can quickly adapt to various extreme living environments such as high temperatures, severe cold, suffocation, and drought. 】
"And this talent......"
Mu You raised his eyebrows, although it is not a combat talent, but in terms of practicality, it can be said that it is one of the strongest talents in survival, no wonder the vampire family will send him over to get the Heart of Mist.
While watching the progress of the text, Mu You took the time to send a message to Lin Xue through the forum.
"How?" Fortunately, Lin Xue hasn't slept yet.
"Go online, come to the Misty Mountain Tomb......" Mu You briefly explained the situation to her.
This vampire servant Mu You didn't plan to let him go back, no matter what the 'Misty Heart' was, or the vampire's own ability, Mu You had no reason to let him go.
Lin Xue also left a teleportation array in this secret room, and teleported over after a while.
The Heart of the Mist is farther away than expected.
Mu You looked at the text prompt, and Rodney walked all the way for half an hour before finally stopping.
[You see Rodney come to an abandoned altar, and after digging on the ice-covered altar, he has an extra crystal orb in his hand. 】
[The shape of a mountain range emerges in the crystal sphere, which is the steep shape of the Misty Mountain, and the outer part of the Misty Mountain is shrouded in a layer of mist as if it is wearing a coat. 】
[Rodney got the crystal ball, a flash of surprise and uncontrollable greed flashed in his eyes, but then he thought that you were watching him, and he didn't dare to do anything wrong, so he hurriedly put the crystal ball away carefully, and then turned back to the chimney. 】
It was another half an hour to turn back, but what made Mu You speechless was that this guy was looking around all the way, there were undoubtedly many treasures on the snowy mountain, if it weren't for the monitoring system added to him in advance, Mu You seriously suspected that he would scavenge the good things on the mountain before leaving.
You lie back in the coffin. 】
[After a few moments, you hear movement coming from the chimney.] 】
[Rodney reappears in the chamber and finds you sleeping in the coffin again.] At the same time, he also discovers the vampire's claws that you deliberately placed on the stone table. 】
[Rodney was overjoyed, thinking that you had forgotten the treasure outside before you fell asleep, and hurriedly walked quietly to the table. 】
[After turning back to make sure you're still asleep, Rodney reaches out to the paw on the table......]
[The 'Draw the Ground as a Prison Lock' that you arranged on the table in advance automatically closed, locking Rodney in place.] 】
[Everything goes smoothly according to your script, you get up from the coffin and look at each other with a calm face. To you, he's a fish on the board. 】
"Lord Liston, I, I just want to help you put the lost treasure back......" Rodney explained to you in panic as he watched you come over without saying a word. 】
[At this moment, the door of the secret room was suddenly pushed open, and the girl in red with a sickle walked in from the door. 】
[The vampire servant looked at the two people in front of him in surprise, seemed to understand something, and suddenly began to struggle violently: "No, you are not Lord Liston, who are you?" ”】
[It's a pity that Rodney, who was imprisoned by chains, had no possibility of breaking free from the chains, and in the struggle, his last health was also exhausted, but because of the effect of the chains, he was resurrected after death, and he was still trapped in place by the chains. 】
Mu You saw that this person struggled to death without opening the lock, and finally could confirm that he did not have the key, and the key seemed to be in the hands of that cheap sister.
Now he was relieved, and started killing with Lin Xue.
This vampire's combat power is indeed not strong, and he is locked with one hand, and with the cooperation of the two, the other party has no power to resist at all.
Since the corpse of the person devoured by the god of death would disappear directly, in order to preserve the other party's skin, Lin Xue did not use the sickle.
Mu You was already ready to fight all night, but the other party didn't have much life left.
After killing thirty-one times, the vampire servant died violently.
Lin Xue's side, in the process of killing, collected 10 basic vampire skin fragments and synthesized a set of 'vampire' skins, but the effect was very weak, only one talent for sucking blood to restore injuries, and at the same time having a curse of fear of the sun, it can only be said that there is nothing to say.
Because Mu You already has the upper skin of a vampire, he can't collect the fragments, but his real target is the skin left by this person.
[You searched around the place where the other party died, and found a set of skins for 'Rodney' and a set for 'Heart of Mist'. 】
[Servant Rodney: Originally a low-level family created by vampires, he rarely has a talent that is not weak, and was favored by the Rhine family and promoted to a family servant, but because of his greedy nature, he has not been reused for a long time.
Talent 'Survival of the Fittest': The lower your health, the greater your ability to adapt and resist extreme environments.
Curse 'Burning Sun': Exposure to sunlight causes the body to experience the pain of burning fire.
Curse 'Greed': When you see a treasure that someone else has, you can't help but covet it, and the more precious the treasure, the more likely it is to affect your own sanity. 】
