Chapter 233: Scorpion's Nest
Like many blockbuster games, Brave World pays great attention to detail. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
There are so many details in the game that players notice or don't notice, some of them are just decorations to improve the sense of substitution, while others are meaningful.
Based on the intelligence and clues gathered so far, An Yizhi has a bold inference.
Vaolek is alive!
It doesn't seem quite right to say that he is alive, and it is likely that he has become a lich.
The transformation of mages into lichs is a very common means of prolonging life, after all, not everyone has almost reached the peak of mortal power like Jeskod and Nikolai, and has achieved a lifespan far beyond ordinary people.
The average human mage has a lifespan of seventy or eighty years, and even if he studies magic from the beginning of his senses, it is only a few decades.
Coupled with the influence of talent and luck, there are only a few people who can break through level 50, let alone someone of Jeskode's level.
Ann guessed that it was likely that Vaolek did not die after sealing the pages of the Book of the Dead, and that he had returned to the dungeon for some purpose, and then continued to improve his strength until he transformed himself into a lich.
As for what the purpose is, An Yizhi doesn't quite understand, it stands to reason that as one of the heroes, and he was also the head of the eight masters at that time, almost standing at the peak of mortal spellcasters, is there anything else he is afraid of? Or is it so that the pretenders of the Book of the Dead will not find out?
Anyway, at least he hadn't been out since he returned to the dungeon, because the dagger that was intended to be given to the tree elf hero Mi Sizhuo hadn't been delivered, and the three of them were indeed the first outsiders to come here in a thousand years.
If Vaolek was really alive, the scroll that did not meet the level of magic at that time would explain it, because after a thousand years, Vaolek, who had become a lich again, was definitely capable of creating a scroll that was almost equal to an A-level skill.
Don't look at the fact that at that time, he was already the best mage who could release C-level skills, but anyone who could transform into a lich had a minimum of 50 levels, and it was impossible to successfully transform without level 50, and level 50 was just an entry, and the stronger the strength, the higher the success rate of transformation.
The effect is infinitely close to the scroll of A-level skills, the lich, and the combination of the two points can show that the strength of Vaolek is very strong, and there is a level of 70 or higher.
However, there are also points that make no sense in this way.
Jeskode must have been on this island a long time ago, how keen is the ears and eyes of a powerhouse of this level, Vaolek really hides in the dungeon and can't escape Jeskode's perception.
In the same way, even if Vaolek evaded Jaskode's perception through some kind of spell, Ann Yizhi was in the dungeon, and it was impossible for him not to notice that outsiders had entered, and in fact they had spent nearly half an hour searching the room and exploring, and still did not see a single ghost, which was very wrong.
Ann asked Hela if she could see what kind of spell had been used in the magic lab, and Hela said, "You're kidding me."
At least a few decades have passed, and there is only a bit of magic residue left, which can still be recognized as that kind of spell is too rebellious, she can only see that this is a spell with a 'disarming magic' effect, and the grade is definitely much higher than the ordinary 'disarming magic'.
Advanced disarming magic? Anti-magic field? Demon Duncan Cleavage? Or Great Lysis?
It would not be surprising that these spells were cast by a lich who had lived for thousands of years, and it would not be surprising that any of them would be there......
There are more and more mysteries, and An Yizhi didn't discuss what he thought with his teammates, after all, it was all just imagination. After resting on the spot, everyone decided to move on.
Since he can't figure it out, then don't think about it for the time being, he is very glad that he doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder, otherwise he would have to suffocate to death.
"Come out, Phantom Pony!"
- Phew
The purple-black smoky portal opened, and the Phantom Pony hissed and ran out happily, rubbing Ann's face affectionately.
Minions have the advantage of not actually dying, and even if they were swallowed by the Worm before, the Phantom Pony would simply return to the plane where it was located.
Ann was also very happy, and he patted the Phantom Pony on the head:
"Go, explore the way ahead"
"Appeal ......"
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The Book of the Dead is temporarily sealed, Graeme cannot be summoned until the end of the CD, and the only one left is the Phantom Pony who is best suited to find the path.
The horses are heavy, not small, and have large hooves, in other words, if there is any trap, the Phantom Pony will be able to trigger it, and it will be able to hit it without hurting the three people who follow it.
That's the standard way to use minions!
Is An Yizhi's approach unscrupulous? It was a time when you had never seen a truly unscrupulous mage, and some spell mages were in the wild just because there was no water to bathe, so they summoned the water elemental to heat it up for showering......
The Phantom Pony turned back three times in one step, and the huge horse's eyes were full of resentment.
It's not a combat-type summoned beast, and it's only used as a means of transportation when summoned by other mages, and this is the first time it's been cannon fodder to find its way.
Ann ignores its mournful eyes and urges the Pony to leave quickly, and the Pony has no choice but to resign himself to his fate.
And he himself did not feel guilty at all, and looked at the walls on both sides of the passage with interest.
Determining whether a dungeon was built by a mage is actually very simple, most mages will not ask someone to dig the dungeon, because it is difficult to keep it secret, and they usually find a way to use magic to dig and reinforce it.
Therefore, the walls of the dungeon usually do not have any decorative frescoes or patterns, usually only the mage's mark, and the walls are very smooth and flat, looking like natural stone, which no craftsman can do.
Among the crowd, Elph was playing with the dagger of the frost thorn, a little distracted, not knowing what to think, eighty percent was worried about the Misty Forest, and John was the most speechless, she held the scroll of the Circle of Death and giggled from time to time, obviously not thinking about it in her head, which reminded Ann of an adjective.
- Big chest and no brain.
Even if the teammate is two NPCs, Ann Yizhi is still very regular in the distribution of loot, and always adheres to the principle that the more you contribute, the more you get. The most valuable scroll was given to John, as her spell against the giant Antlion had given the crowd a chance to fight back.
He wanted to give a few more metal ingots to Elph, and her contribution was not small, but she refused, and Elph said that the tribe of the tree elves did not have anyone who could smelt the metal, and only said that she would have to divide them when the equipment was created.
After a little consideration, Ann Yizhi gave her the excellent longbow and the elite leather armor she had obtained a long time ago as compensation, and Elph accepted it after a little refusal, and she or her tribe had to increase its strength as much as possible, even if it was small.
But then again, the passage they were passing through was really long, and Hela estimated that they should have left the desert when converted into the distance on the ground, but even if they did, it would be in vain to find an exit to get out.
Ling An pointed out or made the Phantom Pony happier that they didn't encounter any traps along the way, maybe those traps broke down due to disrepair, maybe Vaolek didn't set traps at all, but anyway, the journey was relatively easy and pleasant, especially in the shady environment underground, except for the smell of some decay in the air, there was nothing worth saying.
Finally, they saw the exit of the passage.
Ann retracted the Phantom Pony with a finger, and the latter hurried back to his plane as if pardoned, and the three of them stepped into the room at the exit.
It's a space about the size of the one they came in, and it feels a bit like a kitchen and dining room in Vanolek.
"Scorpion ......"
Ann quickly covered John's mouth with a finger, allowing the latter to hold back the movement behind him.
That's right, it's the scorpion.
The whole room was full of scorpions numbly in the hearts of people of all sizes, the largest being the size of a crocodile.
How can there be a scorpion in the dungeon?
The mage's dungeon is usually completely enclosed, and only everyone can open the entrance to the dungeon with a specific spell, and under normal circumstances, no foreign underground creatures will invade the dungeon with magical protection.
Besides, according to various clues, it is very likely that Vaolek is still alive, and he will not care about these scorpions? Or did he raise all these scorpions? It's a very chic interest.
Scorpions usually like yin and are afraid of strong light, thanks to the fact that before entering the passage, An Yizhi felt that the duration of the light spell was too short to use, so John added a dark vision spell to him, otherwise the three people who appeared on the top of the ball of light would definitely be discovered by the scorpion.
"Over there, there seems to be a hole"
Elph whispered.
In the place she said, she could see a half-human-high hole, during which scorpions kept crawling in and out, and faintly, An Yiyi seemed to see some yellow-white ...... Ovum?
Since there are scorpions in and out, it means that the hole can at least lead to the ground, but it will never enter there unless it is absolutely necessary, and the ghost knows how many scorpions are in it, and the number of scorpions left in the room alone is too many to count.
To be honest, in addition to being afraid of ghosts, Ann Yizhi doesn't like this kind of thing with many feet, and he is afraid that he doesn't feel disgusting, so he doesn't eat seafood other than sea fish......
Taking a deep breath, he turned to his two teammates and said:
"There is an exit to the next room opposite, the door is not closed, we sneak over and try not to alarm these scorpions"
His proposal was approved by two girls, especially John, who could devour spiders alive, but had no chance of centipede scorpions, for some reason.
Elph wasn't afraid of this, and scorpions might still be a main dish for the Dryads......
- Once again, I firmly believe that I will never try the delicacy of the Tree Elves in the future.
If you fight seriously, An Yizhi feels that he can't beat it, the problem is that he doesn't know if these scorpions are poisonous or not, and how many they are, so he can save his strength to deal with the situation later by avoiding unnecessary battles as much as possible.
He nodded at the two of them, then performed a soft voice. The three of them tiptoed against the wall on the other side, trying to stay as far away as possible from the hole where the scorpions were entering and exiting, and bypassing the little scorpions that were spinning around under their feet.
It was smooth at first, but the real difficulty came in the second half.
Scorpions belong to oviparous, and the eggs of these big scorpions are not small, looking like duck eggs, and the hatched egg shells are scattered all over the ground......
