Chapter 109: Serial Challenge
The material warehouse is located on the west side of the second floor, and unlike the arsenal, which has dozens of rooms as an entrance, this one has only five rooms, and the word "materials" is written uniformly.
So far, no one has broken through.
Not to mention the pill library and weapons library, even the Gongfa library is more popular than the material library.
Li Wuchang knew very little about the material library before, and only heard his father Li Lingwu mention two sentences, it is said that the things in it are very miscellaneous, most of them are medicinal materials and raw materials for making weapons, and there are also some alchemy furnaces, animal bones or something, if you are lucky, you may be able to get good things.
The prizes for each challenge are pre-booked and the challenger is not aware of them in advance.
Imagine if a person went through a challenge with great effort and was rewarded with something that was completely useless to him, he would be frustrated.
Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun were entrusted by Zhao Xun, so they wanted to try their luck and wanted to take a piece of thousand-year-old cold iron out.
"From the outside, these five rooms are all about the same, stunned, which one should we enter?" Jiang Minglun looked at the five rooms in front of him and asked Li Wuchang.
After dinner, the two rested for an hour, and now they are in great spirits.
Most of the others challenged on the side of the arsenal, and a few people went to the side of the exercise library, and there were only two people in the west, Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun, which seemed extremely empty.
Li Wuchang observed the doors of the five rooms slightly, did not find any difference, exhaled, and said, "Old rule, go into the innermost room." ”
According to the theory over there in the arsenal.
The challenge of the innermost storeroom is the hardest, and the things are also the best.
The thousand-year-old cold iron should be the highest-grade material, so Li Wuchang proposed to go to the innermost room.
The challenge is difficult and does not scare Li Wuchang.
The two pushed open the bronze door and entered, and found that the room was very large, and there was also a door on the opposite side, and both of them realized at the same time that this place might be the same as the routine of the arsenal, first the mechanism and then the master.
"Stunned, look over there, there seems to be a scroll. Jiang Minglun quickly glanced at the entire room.
There are still steps half a foot in front of the room, and it is estimated that the next step will trigger the mechanism.
There was a small table not far from the door, with a scroll on it, and an hourglass that was not running next to the table, Li Wuchang walked to the table and picked up the scroll, and there were only a few words on the scroll.
One, there are great rewards for breaking through.
Second, don't try to find a way to crack the mechanism, it will only be useless.
Third, after jumping down the steps, the switch of the hourglass will be automatically turned on, and the fine hourglass will be counted as passing the level before breaking into the opposite door.
Jiang Minglun looked at the size of the hourglass, frowned, and said: "There is not much time, and there is no way to crack the mechanism, so I can only break through, which is a bit difficult." ”
A smile overflowed at the corner of Li Wuchang's mouth, he pulled out the short knife, and prepared to dry.
Passing over first, Li Wuchang jumped down the steps first, but fortunately, he didn't touch the mechanism.
"Tick!" The hourglass switch turned on, and the sand began to leak slowly.
Jiang Minglun also jumped down and said with a wry smile: "Stunned, you should also remind me first." ”
Li Wuchang said: "Since there is no way to crack it, and there is so little time, you can only fight quickly, don't be cowardly, just do it!"
After saying that, he swung his knife and sent out a few knife winds towards the ground in front of him and in mid-air, and tested them respectively, and found that no matter what the movement was, a large number of darts would be emitted from the walls in front of him and on the left and right.
"Luckily, the darts aren't very dense and fast, so they should be easy to rush through. Seeing this, Jiang Minglun quickly judged the form.
"The first level shouldn't be difficult, let's go straight through, my left, you right, and the front of each other. Li Wuchang thought for a moment and quickly proposed.
Jiang Minglun nodded.
The two came to the same line first, Li Wuchang exhaled and said, "Go!"
After that, the two of them rushed forward at the same time, and the darts shot out from three directions, and Li Wuchang directly used a short knife to break the group while walking, sweeping off the darts on the left and in front of him, without much effort.
Jiang Minglun looked at the right and in front of himself.
The distance of about six zhang was not far away, and the two of them rushed over so hard, and each of them only sent four or five sword winds to get it.
Just a tenth of the time has passed.
Looking at the darts behind him, Li Wuchang laughed and said, "It seems that the first level is quite easy...... By the way, where's the prize?"
What is described on the scroll just now is that there are prizes for each level, and this place is nothing, empty, and there is only one door in front of it that leads to the second level.
Jiang Minglun said: "Maybe in the next room, let's take a look." ”
Li Wuchang nodded, and took the lead in pushing open the door in front of him, the layout of the second room was not much different from the first, and there was still a table on the left side of the door, on which was placed a scroll and a delicate wooden box.
Next to it is still an hourglass.
Li Wuchang picked up the wooden box and said with a smile: "It seems that this is the reward for the first level, haha." ”
Then I opened the wooden box and was a little disappointed to see what it contained.
It's a ginseng.
Li Wuchang picked up the ginseng and looked at it carefully, and said: "An old ginseng, some years old, although it is relatively rare, but it is worth about two thousand taels, this is the so-called rich prize?"
Jiang Minglun said with a smile: "It's only the first level, it doesn't take much effort, it's not bad to get an old ginseng, you must know that this kind of old ginseng may not be able to buy it if you have money." ”
This is true, this kind of old ginseng is rarely seen on the market, and this is a great tonic, used to save life.
Last time, General Zhou Sheng was in a coma for more than 20 days and didn't wake up, so he relied on the old ginseng to hang his life.
Li Wuchang picked up the scroll again and looked at it, and it was not much different from what the previous scroll described.
But one more sentence.
You can go out directly with the reward, or you can continue to challenge, and if you fail, then all the rewards you got in the past will be confiscated.
Li Wuchang was speechless: "Wow, that is to say, if we want to continue to challenge, then we must succeed, otherwise even this ginseng will be withdrawn, which is too pitiful." ”
Jiang Minglun also couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "This is really amazing...... Shall we proceed then?"
Li Wuchang said fiercely: "Of course continue, it's not easy to come here, it's impossible to bring an old ginseng back, it's so shameless." ”
After a pause, he said: "This time we jumped down the steps together, and then it was the same as before, first test what mechanism, and then quickly make a plan, this hourglass is so small, there is not a lot of time, so be fast." ”
The two jumped straight down the steps.
Whoosh!
A few powerful arrows flew from both sides.
Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun had experience before, so they easily avoided it.
The next thing is the old rule, test with the knife wind, and find that the mechanism is similar to the first level, except that there are powerful arrows and darts sent out from the wall, and the density and speed are several grades stronger than the previous one.
Li Wuchang quickly arranged the tactics, just like the first room, simple and violent, rushing straight over, one person paying attention to the left, one person watching the right, and each looking at the front.
This time it didn't break through quickly, but it took a long time, because the arrows and darts were too dense, especially in front, there were two rounds in one breath.
Jiang Minglun looked relatively relaxed, he had high skills, and he had a good knife, so he was at ease, and the powerful arrows and darts in front and right of him were basically swept away by the knife wind as soon as they were issued.
Li Wuchang is more embarrassed, mainly because his skills are not enough, but he has good body skills and is also very skilled in breaking through the group, but he can hold on, keep up with Jiang Minglun's rhythm, and move forward slowly.
When there was still half a minute left, the two finally broke through.
Li Wuchang lay directly on the ground, panting heavily, feeling as if he had just finished a running race, and now he was severely deprived of oxygen.
True Qi was used too often, and I almost lost my strength.
Jiang Minglun was also a little tired, squatted on the ground, and said with a wry smile: "Stunned, if this mode is still in the future, I think we can only pass one level at most, phew, I felt like I was waving a big knife to cut mosquitoes, and I was tired to death." ”
Li Wuchang was still panting, waving his hands, and couldn't speak.
Rested for a long time.
Li Wuchang stood up and said with a smile: "The second level is more than five times more difficult than the first level, I really don't know how to break through next...... Let's go to the next room and check out the rewards. ”
The two of them came to the third room and looked at the scene in front of them, both stunned.
The room has become smaller, the width is only about three zhang, and there are more than a dozen huge bronze figures erected in the open space in front of it, almost blocking the distance of three zhang, and you can't see the opposite side at all.
"These bronze men won't move, right?" Li Wuchang was startled.
"I don't know, if they can do it, just give us a look, it's enough to choke, and they block the road so tightly, how can they rush over? Can you cut a hole with a knife?" Jiang Minglun also felt incredible.
Li Wuchang swallowed his saliva and said weakly: "Let's look at the prizes first." ”
Still a delicate box.
Inside are three older ginsengs, which are much more valuable than the previous one, and can be called tribute, and only the royal family can use them.
Although these three old ginseng were precious, Li Wuchang couldn't help but scold.
Grandma is a bear, so many old ginseng have a hair, even if it can be sold for 10,000 taels, it is useless.
What about the Ancient Darksteel?
What about the thousand-year-old cold iron?
Where are they hidden?
"Don't be angry, think about it, what can only be used by the royal family, is it an ordinary thing, how can it be measured by money, this is a big face, besides, we can continue to break through." Jiang Minglun could only try to comfort Li Wuchang as much as possible.
After a pause, he said, "Why is this hourglass so big, so you can take your time at this level?"
Li Wuchang saw the hourglass, it was really big, and it was estimated that it would leak for at least a quarter of an hour after activation, and proposed: "Let's breathe first, anyway, we will start the timer after walking down the steps." ”
Although these bronze figures in front of him looked extremely terrifying, Li Wuchang still wanted to break through, and he was really unwilling to go out with four ginseng sticks like this.
