Chapter 421: Trap
The dazzling light completely blinded Ryan's eyes, and when the light disappeared, Ryan suddenly found himself in a closed room. The room was large, round, empty, about the same height as the top floor of the attic, with an identical stone pillar in the center.
The only difference was that there was a dark, meter-wide passage right in front of the room, and I don't know where it leads.
Ryan looked around a little and breathed a sigh of relief, this place was obviously the same magic teleportation array as the attic, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to get out, as long as he used the previous method, he should be able to teleport out easily. Immediately afterwards, Ryan took down the lighting crystal that had been pinned to his shoulder, and replaced the low-level fire-type magic crystal nucleus with a medium-level fire-type magic crystal nucleus. Then, the illumination crystal emitted several times brighter light, illuminating Ryan's surroundings more than ten meters away as if it were day.
When he was in the attic before, Ryan was worried that the lighting crystal would be too bright, so that people outside the attic would find out his whereabouts, so he used the lowest-level fire-based magic crystal nucleus to provide energy. In the so-called cellar of Oseidon, there is no need to worry about outsiders seeing, and the danger is unknown, so it is natural to increase the energy of the lighting crystal.
Then, Ryan sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate Dou Qi to restore the Dou Qi he had consumed before. Ryan didn't rush into the aisle as he got out of Kemp. In Osaidon's notes, he knew that this cellar had traps, so he had to recover as much as possible to ensure sufficient resilience.
After cultivating for half a day, Ryan's fighting spirit recovered to ninety percent of the level. and did not continue. He opened the magic storage bag and pulled out the two large shields he had prepared earlier.
The area of the large shield is very large, taller than Ryan's height, and the structure is rounded. With a shield in each hand, Ryan can put his entire body under shield protection.
Then, Ryan began to slowly walk into the dangerous and unknown passage in front of him.
From the notes, Ryan knew that there were three traps in the cellar. However, the notes do not go into details, and Ryan inferred this indirectly from other descriptions, so Ryan walked extremely carefully.
Ryan's illumination crystal was still pinned to his shoulder. This freed him up for his hands. The originally swarthy passage was very bright under the illumination of the illumination crystal. Let Ryan see it clearly.
The passage is square, six or seven meters wide and more than four meters high, and is built on all sides of the same unknown rock as the attic. The difference is that the rocks here are divided into smaller pieces, each of which is a square of neat stones half a foot long and wide, and countless stones are piled up on the ground, the walls on both sides, and the ceiling above, which is very flat and complete.
"Kemp. Osedon's gone too far, he made it so even, how do I know where the trap is? Ryan couldn't help but complain. More than 300 years later, the passage paved with extremely hard rock is still intact, but a layer of dust has accumulated on the ground, which has caused Ryan a lot of trouble, and he can't find where the trap is. I don't know how the trap was inspired.
Ryan moved forward almost inch by inch, his nerves tense, and from his notes, Ryan knew that the first trap was a bow and arrow attack. Although Ryan has prepared two large shields to protect himself, it is difficult to avoid accidents.
There was a soft "squeak". At the moment when Ryan's right foot stepped forward, he suddenly revealed more than twenty wrist-thick round holes on the walls on both sides, and then sprayed out an iron arrow more than a foot long.
The area covered by the iron arrow was large, enveloping the range of five meters in front of and behind Ryan. The speed is even faster, much faster than a normal wooden bow and arrow. At such a speed, people below level 7 sword masters would not be able to dodge at all.
Ryan was prepared, he shrank his head, and his whole body shrank into two large shields. However, the moment he shrank his head, he saw a scene that made him terrified.
"Oh no, these are magic arrows." Ryan saw that on each long arrow, there was a magic scroll tied to it, and these were the magic arrows that Ryan had used and were all too familiar with.
At this moment, Ryan is more than lucky, if it is an ordinary iron arrow, even if the lethality is stronger than an ordinary bow and arrow, Ryan is sure that they will not penetrate the big shield. But if it is a magic arrow, they will explode in an instant while hitting the shield, and even if they are all level 1 magic, in the case of such a large number, no matter how strong Ryan's protection is, it will be blown to pieces.
Ryan was powerless to resist, and he was unable to dodge the whole person in the shield, so he could only resist hard. He had to hope that the magic arrow was not so powerful and that he would not die instantly.
"Puff ......"
The iron arrow hit the big shield like raindrops, and the powerful impact hit Ryan's arms slightly numb, but the iron arrow didn't penetrate the big shield, and it didn't send out the strong explosion that Ryan was extremely worried about.
There were several soft "bangs", and the explosion finally sounded. Ryan, who was cowering inside the big shield, couldn't see the situation outside the shield, but the explosion that came to his ears was not a deafening strong explosion at all, but a slight sound like a match being struck in a previous life.
Ryan was puzzled and desperate to know what was going on, but he didn't dare to take the lead, because he was afraid that the trap here would be activated again.
Sure enough, only a dozen breaths had passed, and iron arrows shot out from the walls on both sides again. And Ryan, who had been hiding in the big shield and had not moved, was still unharmed.
After a few more breaths, the wall shot iron arrows for the third time.
After that, Ryan waited for a long time to make sure that the wall would not shoot iron arrows again, and then put down the big shield.
On the ground that caught his eye, Ryan felt very shocked, hundreds of iron arrows fell to the ground in pieces, and the big shield in Ryan's hand was densely covered with arrow holes, obviously unable to be used anymore.
Ryan casually picked up an iron arrow and found that the magic scroll tied to it was still there, and from the outside, it seemed to be intact and did not explode with the launch of the iron arrow. Ryan unraveled the scroll and quickly understood what was happening. It turned out that after more than three hundred years, the magic elements on the magic scroll had already dissipated with the passage of time. And the slight explosion just now was the explosion from some magic scrolls that still had a little magic element left, but there were too few magic elements in it, so the explosion had no lethality at all.
Ryan couldn't help but feel glad that if it hadn't been for too long and the magic element had dissipated, he would have been blown to pieces by now.
Next, Ryan discarded the two large shields and took out more than a dozen two-meter-long iron rods from the magic storage bag, the iron rods were not thick, only the thickness of the baby's arm, and then Ryan quickly connected several iron rods together, and the rest of the iron rods were carried behind his back.
The iron rod was nearly ten meters long, and then Ryan took the iron rod to explore the way.
From the notes, Ryan knew that the second trap was still a trigger trap, but after the first trap that had just been in danger, Ryan didn't dare to risk it again. Therefore, he used this method of constantly hitting the ground, wall, and ceiling in front of him with an iron rod to activate the trap in advance.
The method is simple and effective, but it requires a lot of patience. And the last thing Ryan lacks is patience, and he moves forward almost inch by inch.
Half a day passed, and Ryan only advanced more than ten meters, but his method worked. The moment the tip of the iron rod clicked to a place on the ground, countless small holes one inch in the walls on both sides and the ceiling above appeared at the same time. Then countless streams of liquid erupted from the small hole, enveloping the front end of the iron rod in a range of five meters in front and behind.
It was a poisonous corrosive liquid, and almost instantly, the five-meter length of the iron rod in Ryan's hand that shrouded the front end of the attack immediately melted away and turned into a new liquid.
Ryan's scalp was numb, if he had taken the risk just now, he might have been melted by the incomparably powerful liquid at this moment, no matter how many shields he was holding. At the same time, Ryan was glad that he had connected the iron rod to a ten-meter length, if it was shorter, it might be affected by the liquid's attack range.
Ryan waited for a moment, then took out some props from the magic storage bag to protect the corrosive liquid under his feet, retrieved the iron rod, connected the new iron rod, and continued to receive the ten meters long.
After a long and tedious exploration, Ryan unleashed two more attacks of corrosive liquid, and finally survived the second trap without danger.
Next, Ryan has to face the third trap, the last trap described in the note, and certainly the most powerful trap.
Ryan took out all his weapons, a long sword, a crossbow, a magic arrow, and a small shield on his left arm. Although he knew that the third trap was not a trigger-type trap, Ryan was cautious and still used an iron rod to find his way.
After walking more than ten meters, there is a turn ahead.
Suddenly, Ryan took a deep breath and moved forward as if he was about to face a life-and-death battle.
A moment later, when Ryan turned around the corner, he was completely stunned. I saw that more than ten meters in front of me, a pile of dry bones were piled on the ground, and from the outside, this was the skeleton of a demonic beast.
"In the note, it is said that there is a powerful level 6 demonic beast here, but I never thought that after more than three hundred years, no matter how powerful the demonic beast is, it will turn into a pile of dry bones. What a mistake! Ryan couldn't help but pat himself on the head and curse himself.
In this way, the saddest of the original three traps became no threat as time passed.
Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously stepped forward to check, and found that the crystal nucleus of the demonic beast was still there, but the magic elements inside had almost dissipated, and it was no longer useful.
He paused for a moment, then cautiously moved forward again, knowing that there was no danger ahead, but he could not guarantee that there were some dangers that were not described in the notes.
A quarter of an hour later, Ryan made it through the passage and entered a secret room. (To be continued.) )
