Chapter 238: Unexpected Encounter, Repentance Rope
In this team of transcendents composed of nine people and one bird, Andrew and Violet are both third-order, and the others are second-order.
Coupled with the 50 elite marines who are still in the Pioneer Order, they are also the top of all the treasure hunting teams.
Ordinary enemies and grotesques could not pose a threat to them at all.
It's almost the same as rushing to deliver money.
The misnees, who had been chasing them first, soon all exploded on their own.
It's a pity that Scrooge's combat power corresponds to the value of treasure.
Even if the various equipment, jewelry, antiques, etc. dropped on the ground are far more cost-effective than the gold and silver on the island, they still can't impress them.
Only an old treasure chest with a lock under his feet caught Andrew's attention.
"According to the general rule of treasure hunting, it is usually logical to match one or two fine pieces in a pile of rags.
After becoming a dead soul, all the pleasures of the living are far away from me, and only a spiritual sense of gain can slightly nourish my depleted mind.
Let me see what's inside. ”
Without waiting for Byron to stop him, he was quick to open the lock with his own sword.
The lid of the chest suddenly opened, revealing a large, sharp-toothed mouth and a scarlet tongue full of slime.
Rolled at him.
The target was the [Gold Curse of Azik] that he wore around his neck, which was cast in the shape of a laughing skull.
This chest turned out to be a strange monster [treasure chest monster].
It is commonly found inside various labyrinths, treasure vaults, and treasure caves, and is specially parasitic in various chests.
It is part of the treasure defense system, and cannot be distinguished from normal treasure chests from its appearance, and will be attacked if it is opened in the wrong way.
Just like now, a scarlet thick tongue is as fast as lightning, and it can easily roll an adult into his stomach.
"Wow!"
Andrew suddenly screamed, and took advantage of the wind carried by the other party, turning into a fallen leaf and retreating lightly.
The flesh and blood on his body had already become the raw material of alchemy, and only the bones on his body were barely retained as inorganic substances.
Relying on cursed gold coins to survive as an undead.
If the gold coin of a living person is separated from the body, it is nothing more than losing the ability to be fearless of swords and guns, and changing back to its original appearance.
But if he loses his gold, he will turn back into a dead man on the spot.
The treasure chest is not about his money, but about his life.
"How dare you resist? Look for death! ”
Andrew quickly retreated to the limit of the extension of the monster's tongue, and then bounced back at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch, while waving the long sword in his hand.
The blazing white sword light burst into pieces, and it actually chopped that tongue into minced meat in the air.
Then a big foot kicked the chest monster to the ground, ignoring its terrible wail.
A skeletal face smiled, and with the weight ball on the hilt of the sword, it was hammered into slag little by little.
This guy was only in his thirties when he died.
The last 11 years corresponded to 110 years on the island, and he, like Thomas the Macaw, spent most of his time in a deep sleep.
There is very little time to be awake, and there is no open-mindedness that centenarians can see through everything.
On the contrary, he has a small belly and chicken intestines, and he is very resentful.
has a ruthlessness in the same vein as Byron.
The image of a kind uncle who likes to urge marriage and is a little nagging is only a superficial surface, and in essence he is still the orderly and evil white-cut black nobleman.
This method of breaking the treasure chest is clearly the same as the method of dealing with prisoners.
After losing the sensory stimulation of the living, it is clear that torturing the enemy is more conducive to his spiritual "gain" than finding the treasure.
My uncle was not a great man, like me. ’
The rest of the team also had a close relationship, and silently listed this skeleton knight as a dangerous person who should never be provoked at will.
Andrew hammered the last piece of wood into powder, and then he got up again satisfied, and introduced to everyone:
"Even if you stand still, there will be a steady stream of treasures delivered to your door, but these are ordinary goods.
The last time we visited, we had already explored most of the labyrinth.
This labyrinth is divided into three layers, the upper, middle and lower, and the further down you go, the more precious the treasure becomes.
You don't have to guess to know that whether it is Azk's cursed gold coin or the "Faust Contract", the treasures of this level must be in the third layer.
We made it all the way there.
Maybe I didn't have enough physiognomy to wait until that weird cicada chirped.
We perceive an irresistible danger approaching us and begin to flee for our lives, without seeing their shadows.
If you want to find them this time, you must first reach the third floor. ”
Andrew, the only survivor of several treasure hunts, knows much more about this underground labyrinth than Thomas, the macaw.
Without any hesitation, the team was guided by Jacqueline's sonic map and the gold digger's natural sense of smell for treasures, and immediately headed into the depths of the labyrinth.
Along the way, all kinds of misers emerged, hunting for treasure and flesh.
It's a labyrinth, but it's more like some kind of monster's lair designed to leave treasure hunters behind.
Moreover, the maze will also move on its own, changing every five minutes, making it more difficult to clear the level.
Byron suspected that the purpose of this thing's existence was purely to stall for time, to wait for the being behind it to wake up.
In addition, the deeper you go into the labyrinth, the denser the cicada patterns in the tunnel, which are made of white lead and symbolize the "immortality of the soul", and the more severe the suppression of supernatural abilities becomes.
In the second half of the first layer, the abilities of the first-order squires began to fail, and the abilities of other rank transcendents were also weakened to varying degrees.
But the monsters of the first tier still didn't pose any threat to a team of their level.
When the group passes through trap boards, crossbow arrow passages, falling rocks and other defensive facilities, and sets foot on the second floor of the labyrinth.
The second-order ability was also suppressed.
I'm afraid that by the time they reach the third layer, even the second-order transcendents will have to turn back into ordinary people.
"Be prepared, if things don't go right, I'll call in the Marines."
Byron had just reminded the men and horses in the Pioneer Order when a wall in front of them slowly fell.
When they saw a large figure on the opposite side, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
In front of him was the majestic and domineering [blue-haired] Barbarossa Hairing who seemed to be the center of the world at any time!
The perception of both sides was suppressed by white lead, which actually made them meet in advance inadvertently
Also in another corner of the second level of the labyrinth.
There are also two other strong teams that are unexpectedly encountered.
- Castilian and Remet.
It's a bit of a coincidence that the strongest teams meet each other, as if someone is deliberately guiding them with a moving maze.
The Governor of Havana, Velázquez, saw the group of treasure hunters coming out from behind a wall, and the strange color on his face disappeared.
hurriedly put on a smiling face and stepped forward:
"Mother Teresa, Father Brandon, and Mr. Herman, good day.
A few days ago, I heard that a few people had come to the Bantaan Islands, but unfortunately, I was busy with official business and had no time to visit them.
To meet here must be the Lord's arrangement, how about we walk together?
The distribution of the spoils of war is negotiable. ”
Of course, this [pawnbroker] of the Golden Yuan Sequence personally planned this killing, and he was not prepared to share the loot with anyone.
Everybody has to die!
I saw that Sister Teresa had an extra rough hanging rope around her neck that she didn't have before leaving.
I just thought it was some kind of weird performance art.
The mouth suddenly continued uncontrollably:
"I repent, I lied.
I know you're here in the Bantaan Islands, but I didn't see you not because you're busy with business, but because you're having an affair with my wife's sister, Selena.
I swear to the Creator that it was a woman who would be so that it would be a shame to marry Cortés in the first place.
As a Jin Yuan Sequence, I don't want to see you at all.
The only news I want to hear is your death.
The distribution of the loot is not so negotiable, and the only way to distribute it is for me to take it all! ”
Hanging around Teresa's neck is a [Relic: Confessional's Rope]:
"Like the thirty silver coins, they were all relics born when the traitor betrayed the Son 1,500 years ago.
When the traitor betrayed the Son, he saw that the Son was willing to endure all the suffering, which caused him to repent in great fear and regret that he had betrayed his Lord to death.
So the traitor fell at the feet of the Son and confessed his sins and pleaded with Him to save him.
The Son did not condemn him, but looked at the traitor with pity and said, "For this reason I have come into the world."
The traitor, knowing that his pleas were useless and could not bear to live to see the Son crucified, hanged himself in despair on the outskirts of the Holy City.
Ability 1: The consciousness of the penitent, the person who looks directly at the rope can't help but count his sins, especially the one who is not strong-willed.
Ability 2: Wake up and involuntarily admit one's original sin as a human being (the animalistic side).
The user can choose to forgive sins and introduce them to the church; It is also possible to pronounce a sentence of guilt, impose the only punishment, hang yourself!
Destiny Carried: The Rope of Atonement.
Only a strong-willed person who firmly believes that what he does is a good deed can use it, and any little self-doubt may have a self-hanging idea and put it into practice. ”
Only one wisp of the original first-level holy relic has weakened a lot.
The higher the rank of the enemy, the weaker the effect.
She is a perfect match for the Sisters of Mercy, who is always "doing good", and she is one of the very few clergy in the Church who is qualified to use this holy relic.
The nun had taken this item out to monitor the changes in desires within the team at all times.
Unexpectedly, Velasquez broke out a big melon.
For a while, the meeting between the virtual and the snake was a bit cold.
"Wife's sister? Our death? Do you want them all? ”
Brandon had the hottest temper, and he pulled the trigger with his heavy musket:
"On behalf of the Church, I pronounce heresy, heresy, death!"
