Chapter 539 Treasure Key

Joan turned to look at the dense forest behind him, the rustling movement quickly moved from far to near, and through the cover of dense branches and leaves, countless scarlet spots could be faintly seen approaching.

"That mythical owl bear is summoning its own kind!"

Joan quickly took out the magic siren and looked at it, his face became more serious.

"Within 300 yards around us, at least 40 owl bears are approaching at full speed. In five minutes at most, we will be surrounded by a large group of owl bears."

"Forty owl bears, plus that particularly ferocious and treacherous mythical owl bear... Gods, if we don't slip away quickly, I'm afraid we'll all die here and become owl bear snacks!" The poet's face was pale, his voice trembling.

"It's easy to escape, but what about the treasure?" Shrek asked unwillingly.

Clark frowned and thought about it, finally made up his mind, and said to his companion in a deep voice: "The current situation is indeed very dangerous, but risks also come with great opportunities!"

"Mythical owl bears have been led out of the cave by us. Most owl bears followed its call and came here, which means that the depths of the valley must be defenseless. Brother Joan, can you take this opportunity to cast a spell to sneak into the depths of the valley and find them as soon as possible?" The mythical owlbear's lair, enter the lair, and take out the key to open the treasure door?"

Joan quickly checked the spell resources he could use today, and nodded to the expectant frost giant: "I can try it, but it will take some time."

"The three of us stay here to hold the owl bear and buy you as much time as possible!" Clark replied firmly.

"That's good! I'll set off right away, and when I find the treasure key, I'll cast a spell and send you a letter, and then we'll meet at Taniguchi."

Time is precious, Joan didn't say any more, and blessed himself with "transformation" and "invisibility" as soon as possible, turning into a Jotunheim eagle and flying into the air.

Standing high in the sky, Joan glanced down hastily, and saw that there were no less than ten brown owl bears gathered around the silver-gray mythical owl bear.

Looking over the bushes, Joan saw that there were many owl bears in the distance, responding to the command of the mythical owl bears, rushing from all directions to gather.

The scene in front of him made Joan feel anxious, knowing that the three of Clark could not last too long under the siege of many owl bears, so he had to hurry up.

Thinking of this, Joan hurriedly turned around and flew to the depths of the valley. At the same time, he turned on "Dark Vision" and "Mist Vision". Through the obstruction of night and forest miasma, he searched for the lair of the mythical owl bear.

After searching for about five minutes, Joan finally found the entrance to the nest under a cliff at the end of the valley, and quickly retracted his wings and landed.

The dark cave is unknown how deep it is, and it exudes a damp and musty smell.

Joan observed the situation around the entrance of the cave, and saw no signs of owl bears or other beasts lurking.

He was still a little worried, so he activated two "Sid Mana", and cast the 2-level prophecy spell "Detect Trap" that he had just learned from the scroll presented by Clark not long ago, and his eyes radiated a beam of silver light.

After observing, Joan was sure that there were no traps near the entrance of the cave, and then blessed himself with another 2-ring prophecy spell "Locate Object" dedicated to treasure hunting, to find out whether the "treasure key" was really hidden deep in the cave.

To perform the "item location technique", you need to specify an exact search target.

Joan has never seen the "treasure key", but he heard Clark describe the characteristics of this thing. It is said that it is a black leather pocket the size of a money bag, and there is a handful of black beans in the pocket. The so-called "treasure key" refers to one of them. black beans.

With these clues, the "object location technique" can work, making Joan feel that what he is looking for is buried deep in the cave.

The search radius of "Locate Object" is closely related to the level of the caster. With Joan's current mage level, he can search up to 560 feet, which is less than two hundred yards away.

If it was in a flat and open area, it would take less than a minute to walk 200 yards. However, when Joan got into the mythical owl bear's cave, he found that things were not as simple as he expected.

There is no light source in the cave, and it is so dark that you can't see your fingers. Fortunately, Joan has opened the "dark vision" attached to the "prosthetic eye", and the vision is not affected.

The real trouble is that the tunnels in the cave are rugged and intricate, and it is simply a natural maze.

The "object location technique" will only point out the straight-line distance between the caster and the search target. As for whether there is a way to go along this straight line, it is unknown.

At first, in order to save time, Joan always chose the road that seemed to be the closest to the "treasure key" when encountering a fork in the road. Facts have shown that such "shortcuts" are almost all dead ends, and there are many superficial roads along the way. A sinkhole covered with branches and a layer of topsoil.

Fortunately, Qiao An had blessed the "detection trap" and was alert in advance, otherwise he might have fallen into the pit and broke his leg.

After constant trial and error and back and forth, Joan finally walked through the labyrinth of tunnels and entered a spacious cave.

According to his own location, Joan judged that the cave was a hundred feet deep from the ground, and the walls of the cave were all hard rocks. As for whether it was artificially excavated or formed naturally, it was impossible to judge.

Joan stood in front of the only entrance of the cave, looked carefully into the cave, and walked in lightly after confirming that there were no traps.

Clear claw marks remain on the uneven rock walls, and silver-gray hairs can be seen everywhere on the ground, which shows that this is the den of the mythical owl bear.

Under the guidance of the "object positioning technique", Joan came to the rock wall facing the entrance of the cave, and found that the scratches on the opposite rock wall were particularly dense. It seemed that the Mythical Owl Bear often groped around here.

From the outside, it is not obvious that there are holes on the stone wall that can be used to store items, or mechanisms that can be opened. Where is the "treasure key" hidden?

Qiao An thought for a while, activated a "Sid Mana", blessed himself with a ring of prophecy spell "Detect Secret Door", looked up and looked at the opposite stone wall again.

Sure enough, behind the one-foot-thick rock formation, a group of black objects faintly emerged, which must be the "treasure key" hidden in the interlayer of the stone wall.

Joan knew very well that it was impossible to drill through the rock formation in a short period of time with his own strength. Fortunately, the mage's adaptability did not depend on brute force, but on his mind, spells, and the magic tools he carried with him.

Joan opened the storage bag and took out the "Stone Plastic Wand" made of ceramics. With the "Crimson Tears" gemstone inlaid on the head of the wand, he lightly touched the stone wall to activate a magic power.

puff!

Under the effect of the "Stone Shaping Technique", the hard rock wall seemed to turn into melting ice and snow, and with a slight muffled sound, a square hole was automatically cracked on the surface of the rock wall.
