Chapter 636: Pirate Skull Island (5)
What appeared in front of An Yizhi was a cave that was inclined downward, about three meters wide and two meters high, flattened, and covered with a lot of vegetation around it, forming a natural camouflage, so peeking into the magic eye did not find it from the sky.
Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking inside, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything at all.
"Hela"
"I can't see it either, this cave starts to go down three or four meters in."
It sounds like a cave with a lot of depth.
This place can be regarded as secret, and from the entrance of the cave, it seems that the space inside is not small, and a lot of supplies and supplies can be stored, combined with the information obtained from the captives before, could it be that there is also a group of pirates hiding here?
But the cave is more dangerous, and such a narrow area provides a lot of hiding places, not to mention that the pirate side belongs to the head snake, and it will be a shame to break into it and be beaten with a dirty face.
After weighing it, Ann Yizhi called John over first, asked her to guard the entrance of the cave, and planned to go down to take a look, if the situation underground was too complicated, then it was better not to take this risk.
Before leaving, An Yizhi also made an extra preparation, took out an amber to release the amber escape technique, and threw this piece of amber into the grass and buried it, once the hole collapsed and was blocked, An Yizhi could also return through the amber escape technique.
"Illumination!"
Ready for everything, An Yizhi walked into the cave with a ball of light on his head.
The temperature in the cave continued to drop with the depth, he walked down more than ten meters, and felt that the temperature was also more than ten degrees cold, the surface was hot and humid, but the ground was unusually cool, and even a little chilly.
"Master, there's a trap here."
Ann pointed and looked down, just as Hela said.
A simple tripline trap was lying across the middle of the road, and Ann looked left and right to see that the rope was connected to several chain hammers attached to the wall, and once the tripline was activated, the chain hammers would whizz and smash over.
Merely......
"What about fools? Such a simple trap? ”
An Yi pointed out that the most LO traps he dealt with in every expedition were also mechanical traps, and he had also encountered a lot of high-end magic traps and hybrid traps, and this was the first time he had encountered such a simple and crude trap.
Shoot three magic missiles to break the tripwire, and after triggering the trap, he continues on.
After all, it's just a bunch of pirates, and don't expect them to come up with a lot of elaborate traps, but it also shows that there is something deep in the cavern, or that some people are hiding.
The traces of the trap that had just passed were still very new, and he deduced that the trap had been set here in the last day or two, or even an hour or two.
Isn't the pirate hiding here a bit of a snake?
"No wonder they are so confident......"
Standing at the end of the cave, Ann muttered.
In front of you is a waterhole, which is crystal clear, and through the lighting of the dancing light, you can clearly see that there is a cave below the waterhole that leads to other places.
At this point, the sharp-eyed Hela noticed a thin line running through the waterhole, seemingly connected to the trap they had encountered earlier.
In other words, the trap is not a trap, but an alarm, and as soon as it is triggered, the person inside knows that someone has come in.
Combined with these clues, An Yizhi was able to determine that the tunnel under the waterhole must have led to a cavern where there must have been a lot of pirates hiding.
But the problem is that he doesn't dare to go down.
An Yizhi doesn't have any water combat ability, John does have underwater breathing spells, but his water nature is only at the level of ordinary people.
Fighting a bunch of 'white stripes' pirates underwater is not a good choice no matter how you look at it.
After a deep sigh, between risk and benefit, An Yizhi chose to turn around.
There's no need to take such a big risk for a few pirates, although from the point of view of the dungeon setting, such a sinister plot will generally make players get a good profit later.
However, don't forget, this is a normal dungeon, and the increase in difficulty due to this risk doesn't make him get anything too good, at best it's a perfect item.
An Yizhi is not short of equipment, he hopes to find more spells, so the pirate leader's magic laboratory is the first choice, plus John is still waiting outside the cave, the combat power of this weak chicken girl really can't make An Yizhi feel at ease.
After returning, he explained the situation in the cave, and John agreed with An Yizhi's decision not to rush into the adventure, and the two skipped the cave and continued on the road.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
"It's finally almost here."
After an hour's trek, the two finally reached the edge where the grassland meets the mountain, from where they could see the broken pirate den in the distance, but they had to cross a large rugged mountain road to get there.
Along the way, they encountered two more groups of pirates who tried to ambush them, killing 7 and capturing 16, and more than half of the main quests have been completed, which is really simple and outrageous.
- Is this really a level 30 normal difficulty dungeon?
These pirates had a tricky way of fighting, taking advantage of the poor visibility of the grass and digging a deep pit under the grass to hide in, which was a trap pit that forced them to engage in melee combat with the pirates.
Fortunately, Hela's eyes were extremely sharp, and she found some unnatural traces of grass somewhere in advance, so as to prevent the two from falling in.
By the time the pirates were gone, John was almost gone.
When it comes to physical strength, John is a standard mage, and the physical strength of girls is naturally inferior to that of men, so she needs some time to rest, lest she encounter enemies again and don't even have the strength to cast spells.
Ann Yizhi also felt a little tired, and there was a possibility of a trap pit dug by pirates in the grass, so An Yizhi summoned the Phantom Pony for John to ride.
Since reaching level 30, the Phantom Pony has more ability to walk in the air, although it is far less than flying, but stepping on snow without a trace is no longer a dream, with it supporting John, at least there is no need to worry about this girl falling into the pit while walking.
Although the Phantom Pony looked like John again, a horse's face was a little stinky......
And An Yizhi himself used the dragon's wings to float forward, he didn't dare to fly high, for fear of falling badly, and only kept flying about half a meter above the ground.
After using the control along the way, at least you can fly backwards and forwards and left and right at walking speed, after all, you are not born with wings, and it will take a lot of time to train to fly as nimble as Hela.
One flew, the other was carried by a phantom horse, and the two walked out of the prairie like this.
However, as soon as he left the grassland, the Phantom Pony ran back to his own plane, and it seems that he did not have a very good impression of John.
Standing on the edge of the grass, Ann pointed to his destination, intending to observe the route first.
The mountainous area outside the grassland is more complicated, and the roads are very rough, and it seems that there are few people walking here, and it seems that even pirates do not come here.
"Master, there's a team on our lower left, approaching."
Hela gave a warning, and Ann pointed to see a team of five mages walking all the way down the path below them, they must have walked through the dense forest to get here, and there were still traces left by the forest.
That's not the point, the point is that these people know each other.
"Should I say coincidence, or do you really have a ghost?"
"Ann Yizhi!"
John's cousin, Billy Cooks, gritted his teeth.
That's right, these five people are the same people who attacked Ann Yizhi in the previous test.
"Billy?"
John, who heard the voice, leaned over to check, just in time to see Billy's eyes that were almost about to breathe fire, and immediately panicked.
After research, it was decided that John would be the next resident of the Cooks' family, and she retorted that I was a girl, how could I become the head of the house......
Well, I'll talk well.
The actual reason is that John and An Yizhi have a good relationship, and An Yizhi is a student of Nikolai, and in order to catch the line of Nikolai, the elders are also quite hard.
However, although this is definitely the most beneficial to the family, Billy is sad, he has always felt that he is the next head of the family, and he wants to kill halfway to bite the gold.
The originally relaxed expressions of several people instantly froze after seeing Ann Yizhi and John, especially Billy, whose face was flushed, and it seemed that he was ready to come up and fight it alone at any time.
"Billy, don't be impulsive."
However, there is a person on their team who understands, Wyatt, who is wearing a green robe, and it is said that the Bigby talisman ball was snatched from him.
Stretching out his hand to stop his angry friend, Wyatt first made a mage salute to save face, and then said:
"Mr. An, this is just a coincidence, we have no plans to target you."
This point must be cleared, lest Nikolai's short-guarded guy blow up, don't you see that the Arcane Inquisition is no longer even a scum, and the Candle Castle behind Wyatt doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of the Arcane Inquisition.
You have a puzzle, I heard that you are the most complete library in the mainland? Hehe, eat me 12 consecutive alchemy explosions.
- Everyone is trembling.
Since it was an accident, An Yizhi didn't plan to hold on to it, as the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, people gave you enough face, and you still care, it seems too stingy.
But as soon as the conversation changed, Wyatt continued:
"The conflict between my friend Billy and John still needs to be resolved."
"Oh? How do you want to solve it? ”
"This is their family business, Mr. An, you and I are both outsiders, and it's not good to meddle casually."
After a series of elimination, he not only took himself out, but also discharged An Yizhi by the way. Declare that this is someone's family matter, and outsiders should not interfere.
Indeed, logically speaking, the contradiction between Billy and John belongs to the internal contradiction of others, and it is not very tenable for outsiders to intervene.
At this time, Billy also reacted from his anger, if he still couldn't understand the meaning of Wyatt's words, he really made this friend for nothing.
"Fight with me! If John, you can't even beat me, the head of the house will definitely lead the Cooks family into decline! ”
John shrunk his head, the girl obviously didn't have much confidence.
There are basically no offensive spells, and some defensive spells are only at the level of ordinary mages, this kind of person is head-to-head with Billy, a mage who is good at shaping energy spells?
"It's not fair, besides, the position of the head of the family is determined by the elders......"
Before Ann could finish his sentence, John tugged at his robe:
"Let me go, I'm going to have to end it anyway."
John's eyes flashed with determination, and the girl had grown somewhat.
An Yizhi was quite pleased, and finally had some courage to train this coward, but ......
"Stay put."
Roughly ruffled John's short hair, making her teary, Ann pointed a step forward.
"She, my friend, I'm covered."
"Mr. An, you don't ...... it"
"Doesn't make sense, does it? Well, I'm the truth, don't you come to beat me? ”
Such hooligan remarks, even if Wyatt was so good-tempered, he was angry, and the others were filled with righteous indignation.
"Then it's offended, let me learn from Mr. An's tricks."
"Don't be that troublesome."
An Yi paused with his staff and swept away a few stones that were in the way:
"Let's go together, I'm in a hurry"
Facing everyone's stunned and angry eyes, he said:
"I'm not targeting anyone, I'm saying that everybody here is rubbish."
