Chapter 204: The Ancient Tomb of the Wastefall (2)
The value of magic gems varies from person to person, at least for now, magic gems are of little use to An Yizhi, he can't set them in his robes......
What's more, garnet rubies and the like are far from the category of magic gems, and the magic seal crystals that have been obtained before are only magic gems, and the gems that have just arrived are all materials written on the item grade. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, these things are available in the NPC shop in the main world, but the effect is not as good as the materials with the flawless prefix, and at the market price, it is worse than the elite level equipment, and better than the ordinary level equipment, which is a good income.
Hela upgraded from 16 to 17 after eating the Flawless Purple Gem.
As an envoy, Hela's upgrade speed is really not as fast as An Yizhi, after all, she needs to eat equipment and materials to gain experience points, and An Yizhi doesn't have so many useless equipment for her to eat, which is too wasteful.
Fortunately, Hela is not known for her combat effectiveness, and An Yizhi values her knowledge base and treasure hunting ability the most, and her level doesn't matter, as long as she doesn't be hacked to death.
After finishing this small secret room, An Yi pressed the mechanism to close the door again and continued forward.
On the way, he saw a lot of Nord people...... Uh, it should be a mummy, right?
The corpses of these Nords did not turn into white bones, perhaps due to their location, the dry and cold climate made them natural mummies, and even after all this time, they still retained some flesh and skin.
Most of the corpses were just ordinary corpses, posed on either side of the passage with greatswords or tomahawks in hand, as if they were guards.
And when An Yizhi passed, some of the corpses would open their eyes and wave their weapons at An Yizhi.
"Ghouls, undead creatures that retain their fighting power in life"
Hela immediately reported the information, in principle, these ghouls are not much different from zombie skeletons or anything, most of them are corpses that have been eroded by negative energy after death or have strong negative emotions before death, and have hatred for the living.
However, the ghouls in Skyrim are still a little different from the ghouls in other places, and they speak dragon language......
"Lo! Reach! ”
With two magical dragon words, a huge wave of turbulent shockwaves erupted from the ghoul's mouth, and An Yizhi, who was hit by the unrelenting power of the genuine card, couldn't stand at all and fell to the ground.
"As, Dillon"
The ghoul roared, raising his axe for a slash.
And although An Yizhi fell to the ground, he was not flustered, the protective spell on his body had not lasted for a long time, he didn't believe that he could hurt himself with the power of the ghouls, and calmly touched out the Book of the Dead and activated one of the innate abilities on it.
"I order you, stop!"
With the irresistible magic of the undead, the ghoul struggled for a moment, obediently lowered the great axe, and stood quietly aside for orders.
The level of the ghoul in front of him was lower than that of An Yizhi, so the order of the undead innate ability took effect, and the ghoul became a loyal servant of An Yizhi.
He patted the dust off his ass and stood up, and said to the ghoul:
"Show me the axe"
The ghoul didn't hesitate at all, and handed over the Nord greataxe in his hand.
"Sure enough, it's garbage, you take it and explore the way ahead"
It's just an ordinary-level piece of equipment, and this thing is too heavy to put a finger in the dimensional pocket.
I have to say that it is indeed much more comfortable to have an inner body in the ancient tomb, especially in the ancient tomb where there are organs everywhere.
Following behind the ghouls, An Yizhi bypassed a lot of mechanisms that would jump out of deadly traps at the touch of a finger, and at the same time, this ghoul because of the dragon roar that knows how to unload the power, the combat effectiveness is okay, and some ordinary ghouls encountered on the road were split by him with a few axes and a throat, An Yizhi and Hela leisurely spent the first half of the corridor densely packed with organs like an outing, and replaced it with An Yizhi walking by himself, not to mention those mechanisms, but knowing the road was enough for him to drink a pot.
People who are not good at walking the maze are too sad to enter the dungeon......
Relaxed time until they came to a hall.
In the center of the hall are four levers, staggered, and at the other end of the hall there are four doors, each made of stainless steel, apparently with a mechanism for the player to crack.
An Yizhi had tried to get the ghouls to open this mechanism, but the ghouls didn't understand the setting of the mechanism behind it, and it is estimated that even before his death, he only knew where the first half of the mechanism was.
Later, he tried to brute-force it with a self-propelled blasting spider, but the system prompted that there was an unknown force entwined in the door and could not be violently removed.
So he had to look down and study the four levers.
The position of the four levers varied, he picked up one and one of the four doors was opened, and then he pulled the other lever, this time the third opened, but the previous door closed, and the lever returned to its original position.
"It's such an old-fashioned mechanism"
By changing the position of the levers, all four levers are pulled down, so that all four doors can be opened.
For the puzzle-solving gods, they have their own set of methods or shortcuts to complete this small mechanism, but An Yizhi doesn't understand those, he can only try the possible solutions one by one, and it seems that he can't figure it out for a while......
–‐‐——–‐‐——
An Yi pointed to the cat's busy work in the depths of the barren waterfall burial mound, and the Seven Killing Stars and Apple Tea were not idle.
What happened to the two of them was simply terrible compared to An Yizhi, who was smooth sailing, not to mention being thrown into prison, and all the equipment of the whole body was confiscated along with the dimensional pockets.
With the personality of the Seven Killers, it is impossible for him to honestly wait to be caught, but the system has issued a side quest to ask them to be caught and stay in prison, waiting for an NPC to come to them.
Side quests represent rewards, and Seven Killers won't give up what they get for a little pride, which is still something for a professional gamer.
What's more, Apple Tea has lock-picking skills in his hands, and the two of them also have a lock-picking device specially prepared for them by the system, so except for being a little unhappy when he saw An Yizhi's arrogant appearance halfway, Seven Killers felt that they could go out at any time anyway, so they didn't care too much about the dirty and messy environment in the prison.
Moreover, the system did not make them wait long in prison.
Less than half an hour after entering the cage, an NPC in a robe came to the prison, saying that he needed to find someone to go to the Wastefall Ancient Tomb to print a text, and all those with lesser crimes could sign up.
Well, among them, Seven Killers and Apple Tea were chosen because they were charged with killing chickens for no reason......
I don't know if one of the saffron sticks of the dignified light of the stars, the famous Seven Killers was caught in prison for killing a chicken in a dungeon, what comedic effect will this matter have, anyway, the Seven Killers themselves should not be able to laugh.
After getting the equipment back from the guards and inquiring about the location and mission objectives of the Wastewater Ancient Tomb, the two of them didn't stop much in Baiman City and hurriedly set off.
From the point of view of time, they and An Yizhi actually walked on the front and back feet, and as soon as An Yizhi walked on the front foot, they followed out of the city gate.
However, An Yizhi rode a horse, and his speed was much faster than that of the Seven Killing Stars and Apple Tea, which relied on two legs, so when An Yizhi was already in the research institution, they had just entered the Wasteland Ancient Tomb not long ago.
"Brother Seven, watch out for the ground"
As soon as the Seven Killing Star opened and stepped on it, he immediately retracted his foot when he heard the warning of Apple Tea.
"I'll go ahead, I've got the skill to detect traps"
"Okay, be careful"
The Seven Killing Stars are not reluctant, although this time at the invitation of Apple Tea to help him clear the dungeon is purely a benefit to the members below as a guild leader, but he has a specialization, and he is better at frontal combat, rather than the traps of these Yin people.
The two of them walked almost the same road as An Yizhi, but they were not led by ghouls, and sometimes they had to turn around when they encountered a fork in the road, and they had to turn around and return to a dead end, which delayed a lot of time.
On the way, they also saw traces of Ann's fingers, such as ghouls who had completely turned into corpses.
This made the two of them more vigilant, they didn't think in the direction that An Yi pointed to, but from all indications, the other party was not only one step ahead of them, but also extremely familiar with the environment here, and many traps that they didn't even find out about apple tea were avoided by the other party one by one.
Realizing this, the two couldn't help but be a little anxious, they were worried that someone would take the lead, or rather, this was the time limit set by the system for side quests, and if someone else got the rubbing in advance, their side quest would probably fail.
So the two of them not only became more vigilant, but also became bold and fast, at least some of the less lethal traps, they did not choose to bypass or disarm, but relied on their protective spells to directly break through.
To say that the strength of the Seven Killing Stars, whether in terms of skills or equipment, is not necessarily weaker than An Yizhi, if you don't count the A-level skills that are out of specification of the Dark Lord's gaze, the Seven Killing Stars are still a little too much compared to An Yizhi.
His NPC teacher is a world-famous arcane sage, although his strength is not as good as Nikolai, but he is also one of the strongest in the continent, and compared to Nikolai's stocking policy, the arcane sage has given the Seven Killing Star a lot of good things through a series of tests, which is also a guarantee that he can be at the top of the combat power rankings.
"Scorching rays, sharp teeth whirling!"
As soon as the two skills come out, immediately clean up the several ghouls who were killed from the dark tunnel because of touching the mechanism.
"Leave the corpse alone, we're going to catch up with the people in front"
"Uh, okay Brother Seven, listen to you"
Apple Tea was about to touch the corpse to see if there was anything good, but when she heard the words of the Seven Killing Stars, she could only give up helplessly.
Indeed, the likelihood of bringing good equipment from touching the corpse is too low compared to the rewards that come with side quests, especially if the corpse is still a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers.
Passing through a room with a large number of corpses, they descended the stairs. The Nord tombs were so complicated that even the stairs had several forks, and they had to turn around once to get to the right path, to a much more open hall.
And here they see the man who has been ahead of them.
"It's you, Ann Yizhi?!"
An glanced back at them, muttered a ghostly sigh, and pulled down the last lever, and the four gates were now fully open.
At the same time, they heard a rush of footsteps coming from behind the gate, with a source of about 20 or so, accompanied by a low roar:
"As, Dillon!"
