72. Tomb robbery
Li Yi wanted to hear this, he knew that the ancient explorer's burial was very famous in the Yamanouchi cave, but he didn't expect to be met by him today.
"My plan is, Andrew, that white heraldic scorpion of yours has a strong venom penetration power that can make the mountain rock soft, and then Burikri you cut through the rock with the blade spirit, and we can enter the tomb.
If someone sees us robbing the tomb, kill it immediately, and leave no one alive, after all, the ancient tomb is stolen, and others look at us, we will always be tracked down by someone with a heart, the ancient tomb of a red-level powerhouse, there are too many things in it, and the spirit crystals that accompany the burial are astronomical for us, not to mention those spirit tools and memory fossils. ”
The three of them discussed some details again, and were not in a hurry to set off, preparing to repair here for a while, and wait until the evening to dig the ancient tomb, which was too eye-catching during the day, anyway, they were not in a hurry.
Li Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, what he lacked now was time, a poisonous plan was formed in his mind, and when the number of people on the second floor of the restaurant gradually increased, he found a gap and left. These three are not good people, and it can be seen that they are all fierce characters who have seen blood and have a lot of human lives on their hands, so Li Yi does not need to be polite to them.
After taking a walk around the city and buying some materials needed for the plan, he turned back to the restaurant, and felt the movements of the three tomb robbers at a distance of five hundred meters. The juice runs from the corners of the mouth and drips onto the snow-white cloth.
"I don't know why, I always feel very panicked, after finishing this ticket, let's find a place to hide, and cultivate until the golden explorer comes out again!" Groken whispered to his companion.
"What are you afraid of, we have not lost human lives over the years, this time it is just a tomb robbery, who knows? With this batch of wealth, we will have more than enough to impact the Golden Explorers, and what will our trio be afraid of when the time comes? Andrew said dissatisfied.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this topic, I'm not sure if the source of information this time is true, we are likely to come for nothing, so you have to be mentally prepared." Glorken said.
"It's nothing, it's better to have a possibility than to be sure you don't." Buric said with a smile.
Although Li Yi has a strong affinity for spiritual power, he can only sense the fluctuation of spiritual power, and he doesn't know anything about their conversation, which does not prevent him from monitoring these tomb robbers, he waited quietly and patiently for four or five hours, and when it was dark, this group of people finally walked out of the restaurant with their teeth picked, and the restaurant owner was startled by the generous payment when he left.
Following them out of the city, the three of them kept looking back to see if anyone was following, and when they stopped and stopped, and the last light of the sky sank into the horizon, they arrived at Blackstone Mountain. The night was as cold as water, the lights of the city-state of Versailles were extinguished, only some of the workshops that had been working all night were lit, the sky was shrouded in clouds, and the moon was sunk into a deep sea of clouds, blurred into a ball. It looks like tomorrow it will be very windy and even rainy.
"This is it." Groken stopped, pickaxe in hand, and he tapped the rock formation, hearing a dull sound coming from underground.
"Haha, it's empty in the rock!" The strong man's eyes lit up and he said with joy.
"Indeed, it looks like we've come to the right place!" Groken couldn't help but laugh, "This is the grave of an A-class powerhouse!" Let's get to work! ”
"Okay!" Andrew pulled out a golden denture in his mouth and threw it on the ground, with the surge of dark blue spiritual power, a huge scorpion with a metal shell showed its original shape, the head and tail of the large scorpion of more than ten meters were covered with golden fluff, the tiger mouth of the two claws was bright red, and it was highly poisonous at a glance, the head of this poisonous spirit had a layer of black armor with white patterns, and two long teeth unique to rodents stretched out from the lower end, which radiated black brilliance, and a sweet fragrance wafted out of his mouth, making people drowsy, Obviously deadly poisonous, really a vicious poison. And Pelikri also released his own blade spirit, a strange humanoid monster with a cone-like head, an inverted triangle on the chest, two legs like spindles pointed up and down thin, a sharp spear on the left arm, and a sharp blade on the right arm.
Under the command of the explorer, the poisonous scorpion spat out a large stream of venom from its mouth, and the yellow and white disgusting mucus snorted as soon as it touched the rock, and the solid black granite slowly dissolved, at this time, the blade spirit danced and waved his hand knife, cutting through the rock piece by piece, and after a quarter of an hour, the rock layer was broken, and a foul gas accumulated in the tomb for hundreds of years spewed out of the ground, making a dull explosion sound like opening champagne.
The three of them stared nervously at the entrance of the thief cave, and couldn't wait for the evil qi inside to be released, and the fresh air entered it, and Groken fixed one end of a thick hemp rope to the pine tree growing in the stone crevice on the side, and pulled hard, and after making sure that it was strong, he was the first to go down the rope to the bottom of the cave, and then the other two also followed into the cave, and the two spirits that had just been released also turned back to a non-combat state and brought them with them.
When the torch was lit at the bottom of the cave, Li Yi acted, he quickly cut the hemp rope, and then lit a bag of magnesium powder in his hand and threw it into the hole.
Felder randomly entered the battle state, his huge body blocked the entrance of the cave, and the three-dimensional shield condensed layer by layer, and actually sealed the thief hole, so that the oxygen in the hole was rapidly reduced, and the burning of the magnesium block illuminated the bottom of the cave as if it were daylight.
"Damn, I'm not being calculated! It's magnesium! Groken was shocked and angry, he saw the magnesium powder sprinkled all over the sky, and immediately understood Li Yi's vicious plan, "Let's all fight hard, the other party obviously wants to kill us!" ”
He summoned three of his C-class spirits and kept attacking Felder's protection, and his two companions reacted as well. The constant feeling of pressure in their chests told them that there was not much time left. Felder burst out with the powerful protective power of the Golgong Steel Spirit, and the three-dimensional shield was stubbornly against the hole, while Isabella continued to interfere with the opponent's attacks, producing illusions one after another.
The two sides were at such a stalemate, and the impact of spiritual magic again and again made Felder a little overwhelmed, after all, there was a group of blue-level spirits on the opposite side, and there were three green-level spirits that were one stage higher than himself, Li Yi frowned, and instructed Isabella: "Affect the spirit of those explorers, make them feel relaxed and happy, so that they can die with peace of mind!" ”
Sure enough, the opponent's attack froze, and it became random and ferocious, after all, it was a group of murderers who licked blood at the tip of the knife, and they immediately strengthened their spirits after only being slightly affected.
But time was running out, and after five minutes, the attack gradually weakened, and twenty minutes passed, and there was no movement inside.
"Pathetic fellow, having lost my life in the face of the coveted treasure and becoming my second prey, now, it's harvest time again!" Li Yi said happily that the process of this hunt was very easy.
He took out the rope he had prepared, let Felder hold one end, and he slid down the other end into the tomb, the torches lit, and on the ground were three corpses with blue faces and suffocating death, their spirits dissipated to ashes with the death of their master.
Li Yi looked around, and suddenly his face changed, he found that there were traces of a broken rock wall, this old thief hole was sealed from the outside by mud, and the tomb was empty, only the coffin that had been smashed open and the fragments of the clay pot containing the burial goods.
"Damn, it's been patronized!" His interest suddenly decreased, "It's too unrealistic to get everything after the death of this red-level powerhouse so easily, let me see what is left." ”
Li Yiji killed three tomb robbers, and searched for the loot excitedly, but found that the tomb of this red-level powerhouse had been patronized by thieves, and this incident had happened a long time ago, which was really a disappointing thing, which made him very unhappy.
However, these tomb robbers have a lot of good things on them, he found a few green spirit crystals and four or five gold exchange coupons, as well as a check for the Sky Academy with three hundred green spirit crystals, the banks opened by the major forces have a relatively high reputation, and the small forces also use high interest rates to attract customers.
After the search, Li Yi still felt very unwilling, he was busy for an afternoon, and only after such a little gain, he rummaged through the tomb to see if there was anything missing.
"There are a few red spirit crystals missing here!" He patted away the dust and picked up a few red spirit crystals that the tomb robbers had missed, which were priceless to him, and they could be exchanged for countless blue and green spirit crystals, and Felder and Isabella could finally eat and drink without worry.
"Isn't this a red-level spirit crystal?" Suddenly, Felder strangely reached out from behind, took a piece and looked at it carefully, "It looks good." "He doesn't seem ready to return it.
"Bastard, didn't you pull the rope on it? How did you get down? Li Yi was shocked, so they couldn't go out.
"Don't worry, I'll tie the rope to the tree." Felder patted Li Yi on the shoulder, and the red spirit crystal was hidden by him without knowing where it was, and then climbed up the rope with satisfaction.
Li Yi shook his head, there was nothing he could do with Felder. Continuing to search the tomb, the floating soil on the ground was pulled out by him piece by piece, and he searched carefully, and finally, under this morbid compulsive search, he made a discovery.
"Kara!" He pulled open a brass ring embedded in the rock, revealing a small square hole.
"Oh, there is no other world here! The group of tomb robbers left in a hurry, without searching the tomb thoroughly. Li Yi was overjoyed suddenly, stretched out his hand to touch the small hole for a while, and suddenly his movements stopped, he touched a hard irregular stone, and took it out to see that it was an ovoid object.
"Strange, what kind of animal is this? Could it be a fossil? Or what special herbs? "Although Li Yi is erudite and wise, he can't recognize this kind of thing, and a lot of documents from ancient times have been lost to this day, and many records are not full names, so I'll take them to Felder later."
He searched the tomb again and made sure that it was correct before leaving, and when he left, he piled up the entrance of the cave with stones, and no one would find it for a while.
Back at the inn, Li Yi took out the stone and washed it with water, it was a brick-sized stone, indicating that it was covered by gray clouds, mixed with star-like unidentified particles, and it was extremely heavy, about forty or fifty catties.
"Felder, what is this? You know a lot about the ancients, look at this. Li Yi called Felder.
"Oh! It's an egg! Let me eat it! It's nutritious, and if I eat it, I'll be able to reach the green level very quickly! Felder's eyes lit up, and his face suddenly showed a fierce light, and he wanted to grab it and eat it.
Of course, Li Yi wouldn't let him get his wish, "Feld, don't talk nonsense with me, explain honestly, otherwise you won't have anything to eat in the future!" ”
Felder had to dispel the idea of swallowing this stone alive, Li Yi was not only his explorer, but also the source of his food, without Li Yi, where would he find food to eat?
"This is an egg of an ancient blade spirit, and the young spirits that can exist in the form of eggs are all acquired qualifications, and it has been released with petrified spiritual skills, so it has been preserved to this day, let me smell what kind of blade spirit of what race this is." Felder leaned over and sniffed vigorously, it seems that this guy's ancestors had eaten other spirits in ancient times, and he actually passed down the method of identifying spirits by smell from generation to generation.
"This smell should be from the Shadowwalkers, these guys live in the shadows, and the night is their most powerful moment, the king of assassination," Felder looked very bad, "This thing is too evil, let me eat it!" ”
"It seems that your ancestors suffered their losses, right? Felder, there are no Shadowwalkers in the world now, and if you want to save the face of your ancestors, you have to fight with this one fairly, otherwise, when you pass on the Golgong Steel Spirit to the next generation, you still have to tell them the fact that you lost to the Shadowwalkers. Li Yi smiled slightly.
"Ahem! Indeed, you want to think of him as your third spirit? Felder thought about it, Li Yi made sense, and dispelled the idea of nipping the threat in the bud.
"You said that this egg was released with petrified spiritual magic, and it was the result of the irradiation of the legendary S-class Golgong Steel Spirit's Golgong Eye?" Li Yi asked again.
"No, after the Eye of Golgong is released, it is to forcibly transform all the spiritual power of the other party into steel, so that the spirits other than the steel system will collapse and die into ashes because of this qualitative change, this egg is molded by ordinary rock spirit stones, so that it can survive for a long time, if you want to activate him, you can grind it into powder with spirit crystals, and soak spiritual water to nourish this egg." Felder rarely talks much.
"That's a good idea, hatch this egg, the Shadowwalker should treat me as his dearest, then we can make a voluntary contract again!" Li Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Stop dreaming, do you think Shadowwalker is mentally retarded? Their first reaction after birth is to regard the living creatures around them as enemies, so it is still up to Isabella to appease his spirit, then use a large number of spirit crystals to buy his loyalty, and finally a voluntary contract. Felder couldn't help but interrupt Li Yi's conjecture.
"Huh? And a large number of spirit crystals to buy his loyalty? What is the rationale for this? Li Yi said curtly.
"The rules of the Shadow Walkers, even if their explorers pay them, if you don't give enough compensation, then they won't work hard next time, even if the explorer dies, they are indifferent, anyway, it's a voluntary contract, if you die, he still lives and nourishes, and he can continue to take on tasks to earn money, so in ancient times, most of the Shadow Walkers acted alone, and there were no explorers or anything like that, in short, he was an immature wolf cub!" Felder explained.
"It's fantastic, no emotional entanglements, simple killing tools, I like it!" Li Yi's eyes lit up.
"Your tastes are unique, but it's not hard for a sinister guy like you to harness the Shadowwalkers." Only then did Felder remember Li Yi's old plan.
