0122 Worship Dragon Shrine - 50 Monthly Pass Plus Update
Unlike the ruins of the ruins that were exposed to the surface, this ruin, hidden beneath the dungeon of Doom, was so secretive that it would never have been discovered if it hadn't been for the accidental cracking and collapse of the floor of the dungeon's warehouse.
At present, there are only Jialan and other people present, so there is no need to worry that someone will take the treasures in the ruins first, so they are naturally not in a hurry to loot.
After wandering around the enclosed rotunda, the two experienced thieves discovered four secret doors hidden in the frescoes, but did not dare to open them easily.
The Golden Thief whispered to old Jimmy, and then decided to open the secret door due north first, because according to architecture, the buildings built in the north direction are often the most important places in the complex, and the important places must have more good things than other places.
However, the two thieves studied the murals and reliefs for a long time, but found that the mechanism that opened the secret door was located right behind the skeleton nailed to the rock wall, which made everyone look at each other, and it seemed that it would not work if it was not moved.
Jialan had been looking at the broken murals and reliefs on the walls of the ring hall, although the reliefs were very incomplete and most of the murals were blurred, Jialan still saw some information from them, this was actually a secret underground temple of the Dragon Worship Sect!
In pre-civilizational times, Jialan had heard of the extremely ancient hidden cult of the Worship of the Dragon, and in the religious area of the Fort Colan Library, there was even a library dedicated to the history of the Worship of the Dragons and related texts.
But because Jialan is not very interested in religion, she only knows a little about religious books, but she has not studied them in depth, so she doesn't know much about the situation of the Worship Dragon Sect.
However, Jialan's shallow understanding of the Dragon Worship Sect and her familiarity with the history of the previous civilization are enough to prove the remains of this Dragon Worship Temple. I'm afraid it's not a "Apocalypse Ruins", but an ancient "Twilight Ruins" that have not been discovered in the Dawn of Pre-Civilization Era.
(Lao Sao note: "Twilight Age" has a longer history than the "Twilight Age" of pre-civilization, and I will not trace and study it here.) )
At the very least, as a researcher at the Fort Colan Library, Jialan had never heard of anyone who had ever discovered such a twilight relic under the nose of the Fort Colan Library.
But if this temple of the Dragon-worshipping Cult is a "Twilight Ruins", then it will be a big trouble, except for him. Among those present, no one knew how terrifying it was in that era when even the sun was covered by darkness!
If Jialan had a choice, he would go back first and seal the ruin. Then wait until he is promoted to the 5th~6th order high-level mage realm, and then come to explore here. Instead of the strength of a Tier 0 High Mage Apprentice who is not much stronger than a fly now. Explore this dangerous dragon-worshipping ruin.
However, Kenmet and the other mercenaries apparently didn't think so, and they didn't even feel that the ruins were more dangerous than they had ever explored.
After all, the exploration of ruins itself is a job of looking for death, and in the dogma of mercenaries, there is not much difference between early death and late death, and they cannot be afraid of death. and forgo the opportunity to explore.
So, before Jialan could fully decipher the contents of the frescoes and reliefs, they had already reached out and pulled out the bronze spear!
At the same time as the bronze spear was drawn, a crisp snap bouncing sound was heard. Everyone's faces changed, and old Jimmy rolled forward very obscenely, curled up and shrank at the feet of the standing skeleton.
And the golden thief who pulled out the bronze spear, because he was facing the wall head-on, it was too late to dodge, so he could only fly to the side, rolling and dodging, in a dense jet of "snort~snort~" and the subtle metal falling sound of "clanging", everyone except Jialan, who was standing far away, fell to the ground!
After a long while, the whistling stopped, and the head of the Kenmet regiment carefully raised the head that was protected by his arm, and after looking around for a while, he asked the gold thief who was lying not far away: "Hugo, are you okay?"
"Damn! I almost got shot into a hornet's nest!"
The golden thief Hugo groaned and replied: "Boss, if you want to have a thief with good skills in the team in the future, it is best to come over and help me pull out the poisonous needle on my body, and then see if I can be saved, and then decide whether to get some antidote for me or simply give me a knife......"
"Boy, if you don't close that noisy mouth quickly, I don't think you should be able to hold out when your head will give you a knife!"
Old Jimmy didn't know when he appeared next to Hugo, the golden thief, and after feeling a thin deerskin glove belt, he began to grope around Hugo's body.
In fact, Hugo did not lose his mobility, but as an experienced thief, he naturally knew that after being poisoned, it was best not to exercise vigorously, so he not only kept his action still, but even held his breath, slowing down the flow of blood as much as possible.
Although old Jimmy only has one hand, his movements are skillful and sensitive, and he quickly pulled out more than a dozen slender steel needles on Hugo's body, put the bloody steel needles under his nose and sniffed them, and then smiled: "Boy, your luck is good, the poison on these poisonous needles has become invalid because it is too old..."
Hugo breathed a sigh of relief, but old Jimmy said next: "... Of course, it is also possible that it has changed because it has taken too long, and you may be infected with some mysterious virus as a result. ”
The old thief's joke almost didn't make the young gold thief catch his breath, and at this moment, Jialan reminded: "Gentlemen, I don't think it's a good time to chat, especially when there is a lost owner of a bronze spear stolen behind you. ”
A whistling wind blade slashed heavily at the skeleton leaning against the wall, making a crisp sound of "gong", which also shook off the dust and cobwebs that fell on the skeleton's body, and a brilliant gold bloomed from it!
Everyone gasped, Golden Skeleton! Monster of the Gold-level Great Sword Master Realm!
An exotic joke popped into Jialan's mind, saying, what could be more disgusting than eating a lump of shit?
It is estimated that Kenmet and they have this even more disgusting feeling now, because the other three skeletons that fell in the corner of the wall are also getting up from the dust with slow and stiff movements, and as the dust on their bodies is shaken off, the golden bones are also revealed!
"Damn it!"
Kenmet screamed, Hugo cried, "Head, it's none of my business!, I didn't touch it!", and old Jimmy kindly reminded, "You took its bronze spear!"
No one thought that just triggering a poison needle trap would lead to the revival of four golden skeletons!
Before he had time to think about it, Kenmet took his broadsword and gradually lit up with blood-red light in his eyes, and the golden skeleton that was gradually recovering rushed over, slashing at its collarbone with a fierce sword, making a crisp sound like a symphony of gold and iron.
There were only three gold-level warriors on the scene, but there were four golden skeletons, not only did the golden shooter explode on the spot, but even the slightly injured golden thief Hugo didn't care about whether it was poisonous or not, and as soon as he turned over and jumped up, he pulled out his battle dagger and rushed over!
Although the other five silver mercenaries are weaker, but the five of them joined forces to entangle a golden skeleton, if they don't want to entangle them, I'm afraid that these golden skeletons with the combat power level of the Great Sword Master will quickly kill everyone on the scene.
As the most common class of undead, skeletons are often fragile consumables at the cannon fodder level, relying on undead traits that are not afraid of damage and death and sufficient numbers to overwhelm enemies.
However, the skeletons in this ruin seem to violate this law, not only are they the highest-level existence among the undead skeletons as soon as they appear, but they are also four!
Fortunately, Jialan's expedition team is also quite high-level, and there are three gold-level warriors among the ten people, which can withstand the three golden skeletons among them, but the undead nature of the skeletons without fear of injury and death has caused great trouble for the mercenaries.
Hugo quickly attacked the golden skull as he shouted, "Wipe your throat... Damn, who's going to tell me it's in the trachea? Where's your kidney? sir?"
Originally, the easiest way to deal with a monster like a skeleton that has no damage at all is to dismantle it directly, but now the problem is that gold-level skeletons have bones that are as hard as metal, and mercenaries, even if they are attacked by gold-level swordsmen like Kenmet, can only repel them at most, but cannot kill them.
In the fierce battle, it seemed that only Jialan stood next to the golden archer most leisurely, and the archer Carter shot arrows wrapped in pale cyan light, repelling a golden skeleton that tried to get close to the two of them, and said a little anxiously: "Mr. Jialan, can't you do a little forbidden spell again?"
"Little forbidden spell?uh, you said that little fireball just now?"
Jialan shook her head: "Using the 'Little Forbidden Spell' you said in this confined space, are you planning to shoot out of here?"
He honestly injected a small amount of elemental matter into the spell model of the magic wand, and it was not that he didn't want to put a big move to destroy these golden skeletons, but he couldn't master the traction-amplification method of spellcasting at the moment.
Unless she wanted to die with these golden skeletons, Jialan didn't think she could unleash that kind of runaway spell while keeping herself and her companions safe. (To be continued......)
