123 Magic materials in hand
This large insect with a faint white fluorescent light has no eyesight to speak of, but has an extremely exaggerated sense of smell, hearing, and the ability to feel slight vibrations. It is now swinging left and right, in fact, it is looking for the enemy's position, and as soon as it confirms the position, it will pounce and attack the enemy.
When Liang Lidong was looking for bright well water for Dina before, he had dealt with this kind of thing for a few days, and he was very familiar with its behavioral characteristics, so he immediately took out a copper coin from his space backpack, put it in his hand, and then used his thumb to flick it forward.
Coin Bombardment!
The bronze-colored, lightning-laced beam of energy attack struck the large insect that was swaying from side to side at great speed, tearing it into pieces of flesh in an instant...... The white and slurry are fan-shaped sprays and splash everywhere.
Because the coin bombardment had a momentary strong light, except for Liang Lidong, everyone's eyes flashed, and when Caterina and the others regained their sight, Liang Lidong had already walked to the dead insect, picked up a piece of white fluorescent gravel with the tip of his sword, and put it into his space backpack.
"The Demonic Beast Crystal Nucleus of the Light System can be used as an alchemy material. I'll estimate the price of these loot when I go back, I'll take three points, and a few of you will have a total of seven points, do you have any opinions?"
Caterina smiled: "Naturally, there is no problem. ”
In her opinion, as an employer, it is normal for Red Priest Beta to take up three points, even if she accounts for five points of profits, but since the employer generously gave away a part of the profits, then she has no reason to refuse. Although it is said that the Killer Guild has recently obtained a few blacksmith shops and a profit share from the gold mine, if she wants to carry forward the Winterwind Killer Chapter, this money alone is still not enough, and the more additional profits the better, so that she will be more confident in building the chapter into a strong chapter.
Therefore, she felt more and more that the Red Priest was very good. It's comfortable to get along with such people.
Liang Lidong didn't know what Caterina was thinking, he looked around and said: "The movement just now has attracted a lot of bugs, let's leave here, and try to keep your feet light when walking, this pyramid altar is very high, we have to minimize the frequency of fighting." Otherwise, you don't have enough physical strength to go to the top. ”
The killer guild naturally nodded in agreement, and besides, they were originally assassination-type professions, and silent action was already an instinct.
The only one among the people who doesn't know how to move silently is Liang Lidong, so he used the fog magic, because the insects have no vision, so the vision reduction effect of the fog magic does not have any effect, but the accompanying 'silent movement' and the effect of increasing movement speed are still very practical abilities in this environment.
Caterina had already seen the power of 'fog-riding' magic once. Therefore, she behaved normally in the dense fog, but it was the first time for the other five people to see such a strange ability, and they looked at Liang Lidong's expression, looking very strange, admiring and surprised at the same time.
Because the fog magic has the ability to detect the surrounding enemies, Liang Lidong and the others avoided a lot of insects and went up to the thirteenth layer in one go, that is, from this layer. The bugs' bodies are already more than a meter long, and they are even more powerful. They are also more sensitive, and even with the help of fog magic, they can't avoid enemies very effectively, so from this time on, they gradually fought more and more.
However, until this time, the combat effectiveness of the bugs was not too strong. Under the bombardment of Liang Lidong's coins and the attacks of the Killer Guild, every bug can cause damage to them. Along the way, Liang Lidong had already picked up about thirty pieces of Bright System Crystal Nuclei, and the closer he got to the upper layer. The larger the crystal nucleus.
"Why are the higher the bugs, the more powerful they are? What's up there? As she walked, Caterina flung her dagger, which was stained with the white slime of the bugs, which seemed disgusting to her.
Although Caterina is a professional, it is still the instinct of most women to hate big bugs, and she is no exception.
Now that he was on the way, Liang Lidong did not intend to hide the purpose of his mission anymore, he said: "On the top floor of this altar, there is a well of water. Actually, it is not suitable to call it well water, people just call it light well water according to the shape of the container in that place, but it is actually the tears of the goddess of light. ”
Hearing this, everyone in the Killer Guild looked at Liang Lidong in surprise, after all, the name of the Tears of the Goddess of Light was too 'extraordinary', and it was an excellent thing to hear.
"The Tears of the Goddess of Light are rare and useful, but they are only relative to the professions of the Goddess of Light, such as the Paladin, or the priest of the Goddess of Light." Liang Lidong said as he walked forward: "But for other people, this thing has no effect. At most, it can treat minor ailments such as insomnia. ”
Caterina smiled, "So you're going to fetch the water from the Bright Well?" ”
"Yes, I have a friend who is now a paladin and she needs this?"
"She?" Caterina smiled with a gossip on her face: "Tina? As far as I know, there is only one female paladin in Winter Wind City right now, and that is Tina? ”
Liang Lidong nodded and generously admitted: "Yes, it's her." ”
"When did you get together?" Caterina and Tina have a good relationship, so she is quite curious: "The fact that Tina suddenly became a holy warrior scared me, but I didn't expect that you could actually get that so-called bright well water for her, regardless of the danger!" If I knew you were taking it for her, I wouldn't have taken your money. ”
"One thing for another." Liang Lidong said: "Besides, the real purpose of my coming here is just to collect glow-in-the-dark mushrooms, and helping Tina collect the water from the Bright Well is just a matter of taking advantage of the situation." ”
"Yes, yes, I understand!" Caterina had a clear expression on her face: "But what does the bright well water have to do with these insects getting stronger and stronger?" ”
"The light well water is emitting light element fluctuations all the time, and the more insects at the top, the greater and more powerful the impact will be."
As the two spoke, they went up another floor. At this time, the insects encountered are already about one and a half meters long, and their attack methods are no longer just catapult attacks and bite attacks, but can already start using small light attack magic, such as the arrow of light, which is extremely fast-firing magic skills.
The few people gradually began to feel struggling to deal with these bugs, and Caterina was no longer in the mood to gossip. Seeing this, Liang Lidong took out a few magic scrolls from his space backpack and tore them apart, and several faint rays of light of different colors shrouded a few. Moreover, they suddenly felt that their fatigue cleared, and their skills became much better.
'Mighty', 'Physique', 'Light Spirit' and other auxiliary magics are blessed on their bodies, which can not only reduce their fatigue. And they can also strengthen their own strength in a short period of time.
The reason why Liang Lidong didn't use these spells at the beginning was because they were time-sensitive. At the lower level, the strength of the big bugs was not strong, and everyone could easily deal with them, so naturally they didn't need the help of auxiliary magic, but now that everyone began to feel the struggle, it was naturally when the magic scroll came in handy.
With the help of auxiliary magic, the pressure on everyone was greatly reduced, and they climbed all the way up to the top. At the same time, it was easy to cut and kill insects all the way, but when he reached the twentieth floor, Liang Lidong suddenly said: "The luminous mushroom I need is on this floor, don't rush up, you come with me." ”
Liang Lidong took the lead and led everyone to the other direction of the other passage, there seemed to be no big insects on this floor, and after walking left and right for a few minutes. He abruptly dissipated his fog magic and slowly walked to a stone door against the wall. Gently pushing the door open, he threw a scroll through the crack in the door.
Then the crack in the door shone with an astonishing light, and several terrible female screams were heard from inside. These voices pierced the eardrums of the killer congregation, but fortunately, such a sound did not sound long before it disappeared, Liang Lidong pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Caterina and the others.
It is a large stone chamber. It was empty, except for the innermost part of the stone room, on a large white stone platform, where four female bodies were already dried corpses. And on the bodies of these four corpses, there are a lot of mushrooms that glow with a faint light!
"This is the glow-in-the-dark mushroom?" Caterina looked at what was in front of her. A little surprised: "It actually grew on a corpse?" ”
"If what I read is correct, these women are slaves who have been sacrificed, and although everyone in the kingdom of Zuze worships the goddess of light, the sacrifice of young lives for no reason will eventually cause resentment. The screams you heard just now were from these soul-forming banshees, who had become completely inaccessible to light due to years of wandering in the dark, so they could be killed with a simple flash. ”
"The glow-in-the-dark mushroom is a product of light and resentment, using corpses as soil, and after grinding them into powder, they can be used as special magical materials."
"It's kind of disgusting." Caterina said lightly.
Liang Lidong smiled: "There are even more disgusting things, after you hear it, even if you think these things are disgusting, you will eat them." ”
"Why?" Katerina looked incredulous: "I will never eat these things." I don't even eat it when I am killed. ”
Liang Lidong said indifferently: "Don't talk too much, the luminous mushroom is a very rare special fungus, and its growth conditions are very harsh." It inherits the dual power of light and resentment, and can be said to be the product of strong spiritual power, if you eat a certain amount of luminous mushrooms, you can strengthen your spiritual power, and even modify your spiritual growth potential. ”
"Really?" Caterina looked at Liang Lidong with a glittering face. The same goes for everyone else.
Liang Lidong smiled: "Don't lie." ”
Caterina rushed to the stone bed first, followed by the other five, grabbing a glow-in-the-dark mushroom, closing her eyes and stuffing it into her mouth, swallowing it in two or three bites, not wanting to taste it at all. Normal people don't want to taste the taste of this thing, after all, it grows from a corpse, and for the sake of their own strength, swallowing their stomach is already the final bottom line, as for tasting the taste, that's what neuropathy can do.
Liang Lidong slowly walked to the stone bed, sharpened a few bunches of glow-in-the-dark mushrooms with his long sword, and put them in his backpack. At this time, Caterina and the others had already eaten a lot of glow-in-the-dark mushrooms, which had already begun to take effect, they covered their heads with their hands, a painful look, Liang Lidong smiled when he saw this, and then walked to the door, took out a handful of light crystal nuclei from the space backpack, and sprinkled it at the door.
Although there weren't many big white bugs on this level, he had made some small measures to prevent those bugs from coming here, just in case.
At this time, a bunch of bright crystal nuclei are piled up at the door, even if an insect crawls here, because of the crystal nucleus, it will think that there is a kind of person there is resting, so it will crawl away and not pass here.
And Liang Lidong returned to the center of the stone room, he looked at the six killers who were holding their heads and shouting in pain, smiled, took out pots and pans from the space backpack, and began to cook.
The venison that he hadn't eaten at noon was put in his space backpack, which came in handy at this time. By the time he had finished a few meat dishes, the pain of Caterina and the others was over, and each of them was wet, as if they had just been fished out of the water.
Caterina sniffed, and she smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, these glow-in-the-dark mushrooms are indeed useful, but you didn't tell us that eating them would be so painful." ”
"How can you gain without a little effort." As Liang Lidong spoke, he threw out a few tents: "After eating, we all slept and rested. It's late at night outside, and we have to rest, otherwise even if we reach the top, we won't be able to exert our full combat effectiveness even if we get to the top. ”
"But isn't such a place too dangerous? We had to find a safer place. ”
"This is already the safest place in this altar." Liang Lidong sat on the ground, took out chopsticks from his backpack, took a piece of venison and ate it: "If you are not at ease, you can arrange for personnel to take turns to be on guard, anyway, there is only one entrance here, and you can complete the task by sitting." But you can solve the vigilance task yourself, I think it's safe here, and I won't participate in the vigil. ”
Caterina looked at Liang Lidong speechless for a while, and then she said helplessly: "Okay, we'll listen to you." ”
Just as Liang Lidong and his party were eating delicious food, the White Bear Mercenary Group and his party also arrived at the entrance of the Altar of Light, and they looked at this majestic pyramid and couldn't help but feel that human beings were really small.
The mercenary leader looked at the pyramid and regretted it a little: "Tracking these enemies all the way here, I didn't encounter a single magical beast on the way, obviously they are very familiar with this place, it seems that Duke was indeed wronged, I killed the wrong person."
