Chapter Ninety-Five: The Cloak of the Sun
Before he could be complacent, the dream in front of him suddenly shattered...... As an extraordinary creature, its IQ was obviously not sufficient to explain this phenomenon, so it was briefly stunned for two seconds.
And all Joyce needed was those two seconds.
He first used the "Star Picking" to steal the ability to "manipulate the black flame", and at the same time jumped high, threw the flame in his hand at the opponent, and ignited all the feathers of the agate peacock.
As soon as the mournful scream sounded, it quickly extinguished, because Robinson made two additional shots not far away, and the accurate hit reaped his life.
…………
A series of operations may seem simple, but they are actually the result of careful planning.
To deal with such an enemy who occupies air supremacy, "control" is the most important thing.
If it weren't for the brief "stun" just now, the Onyx Peacock could have retreated while fighting, and was in a position that Joyce and the two couldn't attack.
In that case, the hunt will have a lot of twists and turns out of thin air, and it is unknown whether there is danger in this dungeon, so a quick victory is the first choice.
Joyce put away the "Onyx Peacock's Egg", so that the Sequence 7 "Witch" potion was complete, and he only had to digest the remaining "Instigator" potion in his body......
However, after thinking about it yesterday, Joyce had a hunch in his heart that after becoming a "witch", his current ordinary life would be completely insulated from him......
Robinson stepped forward: "Nice to work with. ”
"It's a pleasure to work with."
Joyce responded, taking out a glass test tube and handing it to the other party, in exchange for the "Nightmare Necklace".
Robinson hurriedly took it, and after checking that it was correct, he smiled happily.
Then he took out his compass and found that the pointer was pointing towards the stone door.
"It seems that if you open this stone door, you can enter the underground palace and find the treasure."
Joyce took the opportunity to take a look at the current situation.
It was a large and empty hall, with multiple passages connecting the different directions, in all directions, and the two of them walked through only one of them.
Each path had almost the same slope, which was discovered by the two of them as they passed through the passage, but the collapse that Robinson had made was relatively close to the hall and had not walked a long way, so it was not noticeable.
The dungeon is like an upside-down building...... Joyce had come to believe that this place was probably really about death...... To be precise, it should be related to the extraordinary person of the Death Path.
"So what are you waiting for?"
Joyce asked rhetorically, as he noticed that the stone door had a circular depression that clearly corresponded to the compass that pointed the way.
It turns out that the compass is not only used for wayfinding, but also for the more crucial key, so it's no wonder that Robinson steals even if he steals it.
"Before opening the door, I think it's better to agree on the distribution of the harvest."
Robinson stood a little further away and suggested out loud.
Before I saw the money, I started to divide the spoils...... And how credible can the verbal promise be, "Flame Lion" Roy has not been killed by himself...... Well, but one is a pirate, and the other is a thief at best, and it can't be compared......
Joyce agreed: "What do you think is appropriate?" ”
Robinson said: "All the gains are in half, and after entering the dungeon, the two of us must help each other, and we must not do anything to save each other or hurt each other." ”
"Reasonable, I'm fine." Joyce said.
"Okay, then let's do a 'notarization' first."
As Robinson spoke, he lifted the cloak he was wearing behind him, revealing a golden cloak that dazzled in the darkness.
"This is ...... 'sun cloak'?" Joyce asked in surprise:
"You bought it?"
Robinson denied, "Eight thousand pounds, I can't afford it, I borrowed it, and the owner of the cloak was marked on it." ”
I won't rob it, who will I scare...... Joyce understood the other party's hint, and couldn't help but say something in her heart, and then pressed her right hand on the cloak, repeating the previous agreement.
The "notarization" was successful, a warmth appeared in his body, and it was fleeting, and he felt that there was some kind of secret connection between himself and the "Sun Cloak", and once he violated the agreement, he would definitely suffer severe backlash.
In this way, during the period of exploring the dungeon, the two have become comrades-in-arms who can be entrusted with their backs, and the atmosphere between them is no longer ready to touch, but much more harmonious.
"Then I'll go open the door, I'm really looking forward to it!"
Robinson said eagerly, and after receiving an affirmative nod from Joyce, he walked to the stone door, pressed the compass in his hand to the recess in the door, and turned it vigorously.
"Crunch, crunch."
It seems that it has been silent for hundreds of thousands of years, like an old and unbearable drooping old man, slowly moving away.
Finally, with a "bang", the stone door folded in half and clinged to the stone wall of the underground palace.
Inside the stone gate, dozens of faint blue flames suddenly lit up, and before they could see the structure inside, a cold and biting chill came to their faces, as if they had come to the depths of the iceberg.
In the state of turning on the vision, Joyce clearly saw that more than a dozen ghosts flew straight towards the two of them.
"Summon the Light."
A pure and holy light descended from the sky and shrouded the senseless ghosts, melting them away without a sound.
This guy must be familiar with this dungeon, at least he knows a lot of secrets through research, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately borrowed the "sun cloak...... Joyce made a judgment in her mind.
The ghost is destroyed, but the danger is not over.
They were followed by a group of humanoid creatures, living corpses...... Because they are not as fast as ghosts, they are left behind, but their purpose is very unified, which is to kill those who will commit crimes.
"Flame of Light."
With a swing of his cloak, Robinson summoned a gilded flame that ignited the living corpses running in the front row, burning them into a cloud of powder.
"It's all a living corpse that some ordinary people have turned into, solve it as soon as possible." He said in a deep voice.
The power of the solar path is very restrained by the necromancer...... Joyce sighed silently, then took out his dagger and joined the battlefield.
The effect of "Star Picking" is indeed very powerful, and it can help the wearer defeat the strong with the weak, but when faced with a weaker enemy, it is of little use, because the opponent has no extraordinary abilities worth stealing......
The clothes on the bodies of these living corpses were so tattered that it was impossible to distinguish who they were when they were alive.
Unlike the "living corpses" of Xenopathway Sequence 6, these living corpses formed by being infected by some kind of force are not difficult to deal with...... While the heart is no longer a vital point, attacking the skull can still inflict fatal damage.
With the agility of his body, Joyce rushed left and right, and with his footsteps, living corpses continued to fall behind him.
Robinson, on the other side, was even more relaxed, and the golden light that kept flashing made it impossible for the living corpse to get close to him.
Soon, the ground was filled with corpses and black powder that had truly rested.
The two glanced at each other and walked into the inside of the stone gate, the real underground palace.
