Starting From Zero

Chapter 95 Tianzhao’s Treasure

In fact, we already felt strange when we first passed the maze, because the maze looked very big, but the way through it was extremely simple. This is not to say that we have phantoms and sand leaves to explore the path and make the path clear, but the maze itself is very simple. Even if no one leads the way, as long as you are not a person who likes to cause trouble for yourself, you can usually do it in one go. The passage of 'sex'. At that time we just wondered why the passage was so simple, but now we understand it completely. It turns out we went the other way!

The previous maze was a one-way maze. Its function was not to prevent people from outside from entering, but to prevent the things inside from coming out. As the door was blasted open, a red liquid with a strong smell of blood quickly mixed with the lake water outside. The surrounding waters were rapidly turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and as those red liquids As the liquid spread, some body fragments of unknown creatures slowly floated out of the gate. But this is not the point. The key issue is that through the red turbid liquid, we actually saw a few bright yellow pupils that looked like light bulbs. Although we can't see clearly what the owner of those eyes looks like, the creatures that can survive in such an environment will definitely not be kind animals.

Before we had time to react, we found that the "yellow light bulbs" over there suddenly disappeared, and in less than two seconds, seven or eight pairs of "yellow light bulbs" suddenly rushed in front of us at extremely fast speeds. Only then did we finally see clearly what these things were. The overall appearance of this creature is more like a dog, but it is only similar in structure and has basically nothing to do with dogs in appearance. They have a shiny black skeleton-like appearance, and ribs can be seen in the thorax. It feels like the internal and external order of bones and muscles is reversed. These guys have well-developed limbs, and their muscles are wrapped with a fence-like skeletal structure. Their claws are long and huge, and their claws are extremely sharp. But compared to their big heads and long tails, their claws seem to be nothing. The heads of these guys are very similar to the skulls of felines. The huge incisors are completely exposed without any skin wrapping. Since there is no skin, the eye sockets appear very large. The inlaid in the middle is of course the one we saw at the beginning. Huge "yellow light bulb". In addition to their heads, the nearly two-meter-long tails of these guys are also quite terrifying. The whip-like tails, which are completely made of bones, are covered with sharp barbs. I believe that as long as they are hooked by it, they can tear off a large piece of meat. Come on, not to mention the spear-like tail tip, which is simply a murder weapon. In addition to the above features, these guys also have a row of spikes on their backs that can be raised and lowered at will, which looks quite scary.

The monsters that rushed in front of us didn't pause at all. These guys didn't seem to have much intelligence, because they pounced on us without even considering our combat effectiveness. Ling, who was standing at the front, bore the brunt and became the first target, but Ling was not that easy to deal with. The monster that rushed forward hit Ling's water barrier and was suddenly ejected, but Ling was also knocked out.

The monster behind bypassed Ling and immediately rushed towards me. I was not slow to react. I turned aside sharply to get out of the way of the monster that rushed to me first. Then I clamped the monster's neck with one hand. The blade claw on my right arm slid out of the scabbard with a clanking sound, and followed the right arm from bottom to top. Push it upwards and directly penetrate the monster's throat and insert it into the opponent's body. The monster immediately began to struggle violently when it was in pain, but it was unable to break free because it was clamped by my arms. Instead, it helped me avoid other monsters.

The subsequent monsters rushed past us one after another and hit the sand leaves and the king behind us. The sand leaf is relatively simple. It can directly turn into a ghost state and completely ignore the attacks of these guys. The king's method of dealing with it was more aggressive, and he directly chopped off the head of the monster that rushed to him first with one sword. The devil and the monster hugged two monsters respectively. The two hugged monsters quickly shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into a pile of broken bones scattered in the water. Yeyue was standing at the far back. When the monster rushed to her side, she immediately opened her mouth and planned to bite her. However, one of the monsters struck her with a sword. The tip of the sword passed through her throat and pierced her brain. Two monsters were killed in an instant. .

"Isn't it very strong!" Yeyue said proudly.

"I don't think the problem is these ones." Ling pointed to the inside of the door, and we discovered that there were more than n number of large yellow light bulbs inside.

"Damn, the quantity is too big, go back first."

Facts have proved that my decision was correct. The number of these things is so large that it drives you crazy. Although we have retreated quite quickly, the speed at which these guys are advancing is really unbearable. I had to switch to the silver moon form and Ling alternately use large magic to repeatedly bombard the passage behind to barely stop their progress. But even this gradually made them rush closer. If we continue to get closer like this, we won't even be able to use magic. .

"Get out of the way." Yeyue suddenly called out from behind me, and Ling and I immediately dodged to both sides. Yeyue quickly rushed in front of the two of us, her goggles popped up suddenly, and after a red light flashed, the passage in front of her was tightly sealed by dense stone monsters. "Okay, I believe this can hold us back for a while. Let's go out first. The place here is too narrow and we can't move at all!"

"But after they go out, their numerical advantage will be expanded!" Ling objected.

"What should we do?" The king is obviously not good at thinking about problems. Heroic spirits are only good at fighting, and using their brains has never been their specialty.

Sha Yezi suddenly said: "Can we let Brigitte come down and electrocute all these guys? In the fight just now, it seems that these things are in relatively large quantities, and their actual combat effectiveness is not very strong. If water is used as a conductor to conduct a large-scale discharge It might work?"

I shook my head. "Although Brigitte is the God of Thunder, she is not a nuclear power plant. Water will disperse the voltage. If it really discharges the entire lake, the voltage will be shunted. The actual damage will definitely not be enough to kill all these guys."

"How about I call the princess down? Charming might be useful." Yeyue suggested.

"It's hard to say whether those things have IQ or not! Charm is less effective on creatures with lower intelligence. Direct violence is more reliable."

"Then we can only use the most rustic method!"

"any solution?"

"Destroy it directly." Yeyue shouted this last sentence and had already rushed into the group of monsters. I looked around and saw no suitable solution, so I had to switch back to the purple sun form and rush in with her. My demon pet behind me saw me rushing in, so naturally they had no choice but to follow me.

It sounds like there are a lot of these monsters, but considering their actual combat effectiveness, it seems that there is no advantage other than being numerous. As a few of us were fighting among the monsters, my summoned creatures that could enter the water began to join in one after another. However, this ghost place only has such a big space, no matter how many people there are, we can't spread out. In order to improve combat efficiency, we consciously put the monsters into the room where we launched the water at the beginning. Although this place is not very big, it is at least much wider than the narrow passage. A large number of monsters poured in and were killed, and the space was quickly filled with corpses. Finally, we had to retreat to the lake. The monsters even overturned the elevator-like pavilion. After the dense monsters poured out from the bottom of the lake Chaos started everywhere in the Tianzhao Mansion, and the melee quickly spread throughout the mansion.

I held a monster in one hand and pushed hard, and there was a click. The monster's neck was twisted directly, and it hung limply on the neck as if it would fall off at any time. As soon as I threw the monster away, the monster next to me rushed up again. I thrust out my right hand quickly, instantly piercing the monster's neck and stabbing into the heart. But before I could pull out the sword, another monster rushed towards me. It was too late to withdraw my hand, so I simply used my left hand to hold the monster's chin and push it upwards. Then I raised my leg and kneed the monster's throat. The blade-shaped knee pads on the outside of the knees of the magic dragon suit instantly penetrated the monster's neck. , but the problem is that both of my hands were stuck on the monster, and a third monster pounced on me from behind. In desperation, I put one leg on the ground and jumped up with my right hand and left leg. The monster jumped into the air and got under me. I fell down and sat on the monster's back. He used his wrist to pull out the stuck right hand, then stabbed the monster's back with a sword, pulling it back with force, and a large gash almost split the monster in two. After defeating these two monsters, before he had time to pull out his left leg, the monster behind pounced on him again. He had no choice but to fight with one hand, but who knew that the ring of love suddenly rang at this time.

"Honey, where have you been?"

"Oh... wait... you damn monster... Damn, you still bite..."

"Honey, what are you doing?"

"I'm fighting a monster here!"

"Melee? Where are you fighting?" Rose's voice was obviously curious. "King Chuang said that you disappeared on the way, but we couldn't contact you at all. The Iron Crusaders and the British and French forces in Germany have been stunned, and there is also a melee in country H. You actually disappeared at such a critical moment. !”

"I'm not... oh... I'm not missing! I was brought into Gao Tianyuan by Tianzhao."

"Gao Tianyuan? What are you doing in the God Realm?"

"Didn't I say that I was brought in? But don't worry, Tianzhao is no match for me here. It turns out that the strength of their RB Protoss here has to be discounted, but I am actually stronger than Tianzhao here. I was raiding Tianzhao's lair just now. Who knew that a bunch of monsters suddenly turned up, and they would be cleared away! You guys, the Iron Crusaders and Country H, will go back first, and I can go back after I'm done. By the way, you How did you contact me? I tried the Ring of Love before, but I couldn't get through!"

"I asked people from heaven to help me use the magic circle to increase the output power, but I didn't expect that it actually connected. Since you are busy, I won't tell you anymore, but when you come back, remember not to go to Germany and country h, directly Go rb.”

"Why are you going to RB?" While I was talking, I was stepping on the head of a monster with one foot, pinching the neck of another monster with my left hand, and waving eternity with my right hand to fight with the third monster. "Well, isn't RB going to make a strategic transformation?"

"It's that strategic transformation. Masamoto Matsumoto has already prepared it. Now I want you to cooperate and take advantage of this big counterattack to launch the plan."

Because of previous conversations with Masa Matsumoto, he has officially become my subordinate. The plan at that time was to support Masa Matsumoto to replace Nobunaga and use Matsumoto Masa to indirectly control RB. Before, we had always thought of directly occupying rb, but based on the subsequent situation, not only was it too difficult to directly occupy rb, but the investment was also surprisingly high. According to calculations, the input and output are not proportional, so this method actually does not matter. Merit. It happened that Masa Matsumoto, the leader of the abandoned army, was recruited by me out of frustration, so we came up with a plan to use him to control the army. However, Masamoto Matsumoto fought with us for so long before Nobunaga became famous. We didn’t dare to completely believe him for a while. It would be more troublesome if he fattened up the rb like the Americans and couldn’t control it, so At that time, I arranged for Matsumoto Masaru to come and live directly in China, so that as long as he is under my control in real life, we will not be afraid of him messing around in the game. Anyway, so many girls from Sakura Club have gone to China, so I don’t care about raising another professional player. Rose told me today that the start of the plan must be that Masamoto Matsumoto's residence in China and other matters have been arranged. Now we can safely help him develop his power in rb.

Helping Masamoto Matsumoto to develop this in rb is a big strategy, and it is still very important to talk about, but now that we are raiding Tianzhao's home, this is already a piece of fat, there is no reason to not want it! After thinking about it, I decided to finish sweeping this area first. Anyway, grand strategy does not necessarily emphasize time. The more grand the strategy, the less important the details are.

I was planning how to help Matsumoto Masaga regain the position of rb leader, while fighting a large number of monsters. I fought like this back and forth for more than eight hours. My magic pet and I were so tired that we could hardly stand. When the last monster finally fell at my feet. Now when I look at Tianzhao's mansion, I can't find a good house except for piles of ruins. In eight hours of melee, we killed at least more than 100,000 monsters, and the ground was covered with several layers of corpses.

I just sat on the top of the corpse mountain and gasped. The air around me was filled with a sour smell of blood. Several of my demon pets died in the battle, and there were not many Kirin Warriors and Bell Knights left. Fortunately, we won in the end. Scott reluctantly crawled to sit next to me, panting and asking me: "Master, what did you find down there? There are so many monster guards!"

Originally, I always thought that the room below was the place where these monsters were sealed, but now that Scott mentioned it, I remembered it. It’s not like Tianzhao is out of his mind. Why are there so many monsters sealed in his yard? In this way, those monsters are not the real things to be stored in the room, they should just be a defensive barrier. But if you think about it this way, the previous maze is a bit difficult to explain. With the number of these monsters, the maze can be filled with numbers. It can be said that there is no need to exist at all. However, for us who enter the room, the reverse maze does not have a blocking effect, so in the passage What is the purpose of setting up such a maze in the movie? After much deliberation, I still couldn't find a reasonable reason, so I decided to go down and have a look first. In fact, we have never entered the last room. It was just a hole that was blown up and was rushed out by the "tide" of monsters. We didn't see what was in it at all.

After taking a few pills to restore my stamina, I took Yeyue, who was stronger, and went underwater again. As for the other demon rushes, they still hadn't caught their breath yet. The "elevator" used to launch the water has been knocked over. Now the channel for launching the water has turned into a big hole, and it is much larger than before. As the monsters rushed outward, they kept pulling at the outer wall of the passage, which invisibly widened the passage a lot. Yeyue relied on her big tail to be much faster than me in the water. I didn't need to tell her that she had already started cleaning up the corpses in the passage. It took us a long time to get into the previous underwater passage through the gap between the monster's corpse, and then passed through the passage with mechanisms and the maze to reach the room where the monster appeared, but the result made us even more... blur.

There was nothing in the room where those monsters swarmed out. We searched the entire room, which was no bigger than an ordinary classroom. There are no other passages in the room, nor are there any hidden mechanisms or anything like that. There is nothing left except hundreds of blank scrolls on the ground.

Because those scrolls were the only items in the room, Yeyue and I studied these scrolls carefully, but the conclusion was that these scrolls were not magic scrolls at all, because regular magic scrolls will disappear completely after use and will not become blank scrolls. Otherwise, the manufacturing materials for magic scrolls wouldn't be so ridiculously expensive. After Yeyue and I observed it, we were more inclined to think that these scrolls were used for painting, but we couldn't figure out why they were here. In addition, we still have a doubt. The monsters that died outside covered the entire Tianzhao Mansion on several floors, but this room was less than a classroom. How did so many monsters squeeze into such a small room at that time?

Yeyue and I couldn't find the reason below, and the demon pets above were impatient. Sha Yezi and Ling ran down first, but this problem was so strange that we couldn't figure out the reason after studying it together for a long time. Everyone was sitting by the lake in a daze, but Bailang suddenly said: "Don't think about it anymore, these scrolls are one of the treasures we are looking for."

"How do you know?" I asked Bailang curiously. Although Bai Lang is also intelligent, he is not a humanoid pet after all. In terms of intelligence, he is much inferior to Ling and the others. Ling can't even think about it. It makes no sense that he thinks of it first!

Bailang didn't explain at all, but directly unfolded one of the scrolls and spread it on the ground, then pressed one end of the scroll with his claws, and then dropped a drop of blood from the ground next to it on the scroll. We watched the blood dripping on the scroll but suddenly seeped into it. After about two seconds, traces of dried blood appeared on the paper, as if they were blood spots painted on the paper.

"Is this a magic scroll?" Ling picked up the scroll in surprise and looked at it over and over for a long time. "It's strange, there is obviously no magic power fluctuation!"

Bailang answered Ling directly: "Don't ask me why, I just happened to discover the trick, and you haven't finished reading it yet." As he said that, he touched his paw slightly on the scroll, and with a loud bang, a large amount of water suddenly spurted out from the scroll. The blood stains almost gave us all a chill.

Ling Dao's reaction was quick, and she immediately realized the purpose of this thing. "It can increase the amount of things it absorbs and then release them?"

Yeyue followed: "That means the monsters we killed before may have been copied with this thing. Someone used this thing to absorb a monster, and then released more."

Bailang shook his head. "I don't know where the previous monsters came from, but this thing can indeed copy what it absorbs, but it needs to be injected with magic power when absorbing it. Anyway, you will understand after you operate it yourself."

There were several scrolls. As soon as we heard Bai Lang's words, we each took one to experiment. After everyone finished the experiment, we summarized our findings and found that the function of this thing is not as terrible as we thought before. First of all, this thing can indeed be copied, but it can only copy living objects, such as the blood dripping from Bailang and the monsters that ran out before. It can't do anything about other inanimate things. In addition, as long as you hold the scroll, when something suitable for copying comes into contact with the surface of the scroll, the scroll will prompt you whether you want to store it. If you want to store it, the scroll will prompt you to input magic power, and the amount of magic power entering and exiting will depend on the target being stored. related to the strength level. But one thing is good here, that is, providing magic power does not have to be done by humans. Objects such as magic crystals can also be used as a source of magic power. Once the previous storage process is completed, the scroll will ask you if you want to copy the creatures inside. This process is not free, but requires continuous input of magic power. As long as you choose to copy, the scroll will wait for you to input magic power. Once the input magic power can copy a creature, a creature will be generated in the scroll immediately, and the speed of generation is completely determined by your input speed. You You can spend several months slowly inputting the magic power of one creature, or you can use one second to suddenly pour in enough magic power to copy hundreds of creatures. Anyway, as long as the magic power is enough, the scroll will continue to copy. The magic power consumed when copying a creature is less than that consumed when absorbing the creature before. It is about less than half of the first absorbed sample. However, based on the player's personal magic value, even if it is just copying the kind of creature we just killed, it is estimated that There won't be too many of them, but if you connect this thing to the city's power system, then...hehehehe, it won't be a problem to form a legion anyway. Of course, the magic power of the city's power system is not free, but it is definitely cheaper than buying soldiers directly. In addition, this thing has another attribute that we are more excited about, that is, it can not only store one sample. The release and absorption of organisms by this thing can be adjusted at any time, and the types of absorbed samples can be up to three, which means that you can first absorb three types of organisms for different environments, and then select them when needed. 'freed.

After confirming the functions of the scrolls, I excitedly put them all away, and then continued to dig through the ruins of Tianzhao Mansion. To be honest, Tianzhao's ghost house is not very well built. There are not many valuable things in such a big place, so it took us a long time to find a few scrolls with some practical use. Of course, I won't believe that Tianzhao has such a small fortune. After all, he is also the main god. How can he be so poor that he can't even compare to an idle god like Lord Polar Star?

After searching randomly for several hours, we still found nothing. Rose urged me again midway, which made me anxious. Matsumoto Masa's side does need someone to deal with it, but it's really maddening to see the food right in front of your mouth and not be able to eat it. After doing this for a long time, I became worried. "Pyre explosives for me and blow up the entire Tianzhao Mansion. The ones that can't be blown up must be treasures, and the ones that can be blown up are not worth looking for anymore."

This move of mine can be said to be very cruel. Anyway, time does not allow it now, so it would be best if I could find something. If I can’t find it, I don’t have time to delay any longer. The remaining summoned creatures began to take explosives from my Phoenix Dragon Space. Fortunately, I have the habit of always keeping various supplies in the Phoenix Dragon Space, otherwise there would be nothing I could do.

It took us nearly an hour to pile up at least a dozen tons of explosives in various places in Tianzhao Mansion. After making sure that everything was done, I put away all the summoned creatures and turned around and left. As a small ball of fire flashed out from the detonating crystal, the entire Tianzhao Mansion flew into the sky. I summoned Ling and used a strong wind technique. The falling broken earth and tiles and monster corpses were all blown out of the city by the wind. There was only a large bare pit left on the ground of Tianzhao Mansion, and the bottom of the pit still had the remains of the previous one. There are traces of the underwater labyrinth, but the water in the labyrinth was blown away together with the soil.

“It’s really a lot cleaner now!”

"What is that?" Ling suddenly pointed at a place and asked me.

I looked in the direction indicated by Ling. At the bottom of the pit, only the underlying structure of the labyrinth was bombed, and there was an area of ​​the maze that actually stood there intact. Originally, this area was just a dead end in the maze. For us who were looking for a way out, it was something that could easily be ignored. But now that all the surrounding areas have been blown up, it is the only one that stands out from the rest. .

"Hey, I didn't expect us to find it!"

The fact that the entire maze was blown up only shows that the structure of the maze is very ordinary, so the preserved part must have been specially treated, and since it has been specially treated, it must be hiding some secrets .

I summoned my familiars and went down to the bottom of the pit together to start studying this only remaining area. In fact, there is not much left in this place. At most, there is only a passage more than one meter long connected to half of the wall. From the gap of the explosion, it can be seen that this place is protected by a circular stand, because the damaged part happens to be spherical. the edge of. I entered this passage and studied it here and there for a while. Because the goal was relatively clear, I quickly discovered the problem. It turns out that one of the corners of that dead end is actually an illusion. There is actually a square hole in this place, about the size of half a door. Before, Mirage and Sayoko didn't realize that this place was an illusion because it had no entity. Anyway, to them, the wall just looked like an obstacle. If they actually walked over, it would be the same to them whether it was a real or fake wall. Of course, this hole does not lead to the back of the wall. If the hole is connected to the secret room, although Phantom and the others cannot see it, they will definitely find the secret room behind it if they walk over. The key problem is that this hole is actually a space passage, unless you happen to be looking from above. If you pass by, you won't be able to find it at all, because behind the wall are still just other parts of the maze and not the secret room.

After confirming the space passage, I first put a candle bee in to explore the path. After confirming that it was safe, I sneaked in with a large number of magic pets. There is nothing complicated here, it is just a room that is sealed on all sides, but there is a huge metal door facing the entrance where we entered. This door is round, with a diameter of about eight meters. It looks like a bank vault door, but the more than thirty password knobs on the door make people dizzy.

"Who knows how to open a combination lock?"

All the demon pets shook their heads together.

"That's the old method." I started to take out the explosives from Fenglong's space, but I was held down by Ling as soon as I took two of them.

"This is a space built by divine power. Once the power of the explosion exceeds its upper limit, the space will collapse. If Tianzhao himself can rely on his memory to find the entrance to this space again, we will basically forget about it."

"What should we do?"

Yeyue suggested: "How about using your eternity to cut it slowly?"

"Who knows how thick this thing is, and with the divine power space, there will definitely be a divine power blockade. I guess eternity can't be cut. Even if it can be broken, the time is not something I can accept."

"How about trying teleportation?"

"Who knows how thick this thing is? What if it gets stuck in the wall?"

"Maybe I can give it a try." Unexpectedly, Everett actually opened his mouth and took over the job that no one could handle.

"Then try it quickly." Since there is no way to break the goal quickly now, I might as well let Everett try it first.

After getting my consent, Everett immediately asked Brigitte to help open the lock. Brigis, like Everett, is a constructed creature, that is, a magical mechanical life form. To put it bluntly, it is a high-level golem. Due to their super strong magic core, Brigitte and Everett both have a common feature, that is, they can transform to a certain extent.

Everett first asked Brigitte to disassemble and reorganize her body into the form he specified. The reassembled Brigitte turned into a huge structure with n number of mechanical arms. Following Everett Te pushed Brigitte in this form to the front of the door, and then used her mechanical arm to grab the combination locks and return them all to zero. After completing this step, Everett disassembled himself and rebuilt it into a larger strange machine. There was a horn-like thing in front of the machine close to the door, and there were many bearings on the other side of the machine. Something was 'inserted' into the interface left by Brigitte's changing mechanical form.

"Get ready, we're about to begin."

"OK." Brigitte gave a hint that the preparation was complete.

"Start." Following Everett's prompt, Brigitte's first robotic arm suddenly began to rotate slowly and faster and faster. As the first robotic arm started, the following robotic arms also began to rotate one after another, but we can clearly see that the rotational speeds of each robotic arm are different. After about a few minutes, all Brigitte's robotic arms began to rotate crazily, and the first few code disks started to even start to smoke. We had to let Shuangxue use ice spells to cool down, otherwise the code would not be solved. If it doesn't work properly, the turntable will be useless.

As time went by we gradually understood Everett's approach. He seemed to have assembled a simple code tester using his and Brigitte's bodies. The speeds of each of Brigitte's robotic arms were exactly ten times different, so he only had to wait for the slowest robotic arm to complete one revolution. It is equivalent to trying all the password combinations. During this process, Everett has been monitoring the mechanical structure in the gate. Once the password is correct, the corresponding magic induction device will definitely be activated in the gate. Although this time is very short, , but there will always be a magic reaction. As long as Everett detects this kind of fluctuation, he can be sure that the password just now is correct, so this process is quite simple, it just requires a little more time.

Thirty-six password dials, although each dial only has ten digits, the combination is terrifying. Brigitte's speed is indeed very fast, but considering that the digital multiplier is too large, even though her first robotic arm is flying like the wind, it will take several hours to try out all the combinations, and what we can do I just pray that the password number is small, otherwise I will have to wait!

Watching Everett and Brigitte frantically trying out the test, Ci Ling also started to get anxious. "We can't just wait. If the structure of the combination lock is too special and the magic reaction cannot be detected, wouldn't we wait in vain? Why don't we start brute force cracking now? Maybe we can open it first?"

"That makes sense." I said to Everett, "You guys get busy first, and we'll do our thing. We'll work on both sides, and one of the ways will open the door first."

In fact, Ling's method is not a clever method, it is nothing more than violently tearing down the door. We made a chisel out of eternity and started stripping down the wall tiles along the side of the door. This wall has indeed been reinforced as I expected. It took me a lot of effort to remove a brick as big as a fingernail, but some progress is better than no progress.

Three hours later, I had dug up a large area of ​​the edge of the door, and even the fixing screws of the door frame were exposed. There is still no result on Everett's side, and Brigitte's carousel has only turned a little more than halfway. After continuing for more than an hour, Everett suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."

With a click, Brigitte's turntable was instantly locked, and then all the code disks began to slowly fall backwards. It only fell for more than ten seconds before stopping again. Then Brigitte's mechanical arm began to rotate forward continuously. I tried reversing the positions and finally stopped them all.

"The password is out." Everett and Brigitte replied after returning to their normal forms.

"Not bad, you are faster as expected." I quickly stopped digging the wall, took Eternity back and 'inserted' it into the keyhole and let Eternity deform and fill the keyhole according to its condition. After completing the counterfeiting process of the key, let Eternity solidify, then turn slightly... click "Ah..." Suddenly there was a big hole under my feet, and I fell directly into it. The hole automatically restored itself after I fell in. Although the demon pet standing closer reacted faster and immediately began to smash the hole, but after the ground exploded, all I saw was loess, and the previous hole had completely disappeared.

While my demon pets were sealed above and thinking about how to save me, I had already fallen onto a pile of keys.

"Damn, there's actually a chain mechanism!"

Just after I fell, I found myself in a small room filled with keys. The only exit from this room is a door, but there is a keyhole on the door, and there are countless keys of various shapes piled on the ground. The purpose of this mechanism is obviously to hope that the user can find the key and enter the room, but the problem is that there are so many keys and I don’t know which one is right. I need to try them one by one. It will take several months until they are all tried out?

I couldn’t try them one by one, and I immediately understood that this was the key. There must be other ways to get to this place, and trying them one by one will definitely not work. In fact, I originally had the simplest way to get over it, which was to use Eternity to simulate the shape of the key based on the structure inside the keyhole, but now this is also the biggest problem. When I just fell, eternity was still stuck in the keyhole of the door above. Where can I find something that can be transformed at will?

Originally, I planned to use the summoning ability to let Fenglong take down all the magic pets, and by the way, I could also bring Eternity down. But after trying it, I realized that neither the gate of the earth nor the Fenglong space can be opened here. In other words, I was completely isolated.

After looking at the door ahead and the pile of keys at my feet, I finally decided to study the door lock first. Since this door lock has a retro-style design, the keyhole is very large, and since I have dark vision, I can see most of the structure here with the help of this keyhole.

The structure inside the keyhole was unexpectedly complicated. It was impossible for me to open it without a key, but I soon discovered a very important detail - the internal mechanism of the keyhole was actually made of tin.

"Wow haha... Tianzhao, you are such an idiot, you actually use tin as a lock core. Don't you know this thing is particularly easy to melt?" In fact, it is impossible for Tianzhao not to know that tin melts easily, but he still chose to use this material. Firstly, he didn't expect anyone to study the material of the keyhole. Secondly, tin is a metal with strong magical inertness, just like rubber which does not conduct electricity. Tin can completely isolate magic power, like telekinesis and so on. All spells are completely ineffective against it.

Now that I have discovered the characteristics of this material, I don't have to worry about finding the key. I switch directly to the silver moon form and put one hand on the keyhole. I saw that centered on the point where my hand touched, the keyhole of the door began to turn red quickly, and the door slid back a little. I pushed slightly, and the door quickly opened with my strength. What is somewhat surprising is that there is another room inside the door, and the sides are the same. The difference is that the floor of this room is made of metal, and you can see water when you look down from here.

The door behind the room suddenly disappeared as soon as I entered the room. I then 'touched' it again and found that the wall had become a single piece and there was no shadow of the door at all. I didn't expect that this place actually has a series of traps, but since you've entered, you probably won't be able to get out until you reach the last level.

In addition to the metal floor, the roof of this room is also made of metal. Three of the four walls look the same, except for the one facing me that has something like a display screen in the center. I was about to go over and study this thing that looked like a display screen, but who knew it would light up on its own first. A large piece of green text slowly appeared on the display screen. Unfortunately, it was in Japanese. I turned on the translator to understand it. Simply put, the content of the text is that the room will be completely filled with water in a while, and then the display will start various questions. All I have to do is find the answer among the options given. Questions cannot be skipped. Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, after answering a question, you will immediately see the second question. Every time I answer a question correctly, the water level in the room will drop by one-twentieth. If I answer a question correctly, the water level will rise by one-twentieth. When the water level is full, there will be no cumulative penalty for answering wrong questions, but if you always Yes or no. People who do not have the ability to breathe underwater will definitely drown. In addition, this water is not ordinary water. It seems that special substances have been added to it. When people are in it, their vitality will be continuously absorbed. So even if you are a fish, if you keep answering incorrectly, sooner or later you will be finished.

As soon as I saw this content, the room started filling with water. Within a few seconds, the water surface exceeded the iron wire on the roof. As soon as the water injection was finished, the first question popped up. The content was very simple, and it was a question about the trial use of magic. I quickly pressed the correct answer given on the screen, and the water level in the room immediately dropped by one-twentieth. The next questions were also super simple. I solved ten questions in a row with 100% accuracy, but then I suddenly realized something was wrong. If this ghost place is where Tian Zhao hides treasures, then he definitely doesn't want others to enter. If he wanted to distinguish between intruders and his own people, he would definitely not be able to rely on answering questions alone. After all, Tianzhao couldn't guarantee that no one else could answer his question, and it was even more abnormal to ask a kindergarten-level question like this. Then the only possibility is that this whole room is a huge scam, and Tianzhao's requirements may be reversed. If I really answer the twenty questions correctly, I may not only fail to pass, but will trigger a more terrifying mechanism.

It’s easy to solve the same key points, so I started to look for the wrong answer choices for the next questions. Sure enough, the next ten questions were all ridiculously simple. If there was such a level, it would be impossible for all twenty questions to be so simple. After that, after I answered ten more questions in a row, the water level in the room, which was already bottomless, suddenly began to drop rapidly. Within a few seconds, the room was completely drained. The screen in front of me suddenly popped out, and then the water surface under my feet It started to rise crazily again, but this time the wires on the roof automatically rolled to both sides. Because there was no iron wire to block it, the rising water level naturally brought me up with it.

The room just now seemed to be part of a vertical passage. Now I followed the water level and climbed several hundred meters before I actually touched the metal roof. When the water level rose to more than two meters from the ceiling, it stopped. The place in front of the water level just happened to be a gate. It seemed that this was the main entrance. After climbing onto land and opening the door, not only did I not find the treasure, but I became even more dizzy.

After passing through the gate just now, I actually entered a forest. Dense tropical plants criss-crossed me to the left and right, and behind me was a cliff with invisible edges on both sides. There was nothing except the door through which I entered. The forest was filled with a yellow-green mist, and basically nothing could be seen five meters away, and the air was filled with the smell of decay.

Although this environment was very strange, I couldn't retreat at all, so I could only keep moving forward.

After walking forward for about twenty or thirty meters through the thick fog, a towering black shadow gradually appeared in front of me, and there seemed to be orange-red light coming from there. I quickly ran forward a few steps, and as the distance got closer, things in front of me quickly became clear.

This is a sculpture more than five meters high. The overall look is like nine snakes coiled on a pillar. These nine snakes are all coiled upside down on the pillars. Near the ground, there are nine snake heads pointing in nine directions. The orange-red light I saw before is a burning ball at the top of the pillar. flame.

I approached the sculpture cautiously. Due to the humid air, the plants here have grown too lush, so the heads of these snakes are covered with a thick layer of moss. I wanted to get closer and push aside the moss to take a look, but as soon as I took a step, I suddenly felt something hard beneath my feet. The ground in the jungle was completely covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, which was soft to the touch. This hard ground should not be naturally formed.

I carefully squatted down and swept away the leaves under my feet. I soon saw a stone tablet lying on the ground. After cleaning away the debris and moss on the surface, I finally saw the words on it clearly. To my surprise, the text on the stele was actually in Chinese. I thought it would be a Japanese stele at first! Since the text on this stele seemed obviously unfinished, I cleaned the ground under the snake head next to it. Sure enough, there was also a stele here, but the difference was that the inscriptions were different. There are nine more tablets under the nine snake heads, and the words on them add up to a complete paragraph. The meaning of the inscription is that there are three races of the undead, elves and goblins living in this forest. One of them is a free race. As long as you don't mess with them, they won't bother to talk to you. The other two races are affected by mana. One of them will try to 'confuse' you so that you can't find the right path. , and the other one will try to help you leave the forest.

Although the inscription gave such a hint, it did not say which race was free and which race was helping me, so it simply said it was not said. After reading it, I became even more confused. I had no choice but to move on. Because the fog was too heavy, I was afraid of being suddenly attacked, so I first switched to the purple sun form, which at least has a higher defense. After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a low roar, which seemed to be not far ahead. The visibility in this damn place was so low that I could hear sounds but couldn't see anything. I could only run over quickly to see what was going on.

Approaching the point where the sound came from, I first saw a black human-shaped shadow walking forward, but it seemed that this guy seemed to have difficulty with his legs and feet, and my other sense sent a more direct signal—— The breath of death. This black shadow is an undead creature, but its level is very low. The aura of death is so weak that it is almost imperceptible. If I hadn't been so close, I wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Sure enough, as I got closer, I quickly saw the true face of this guy. This is a zombie that has rotted and is about to turn into a skeleton. There are not many strips of flesh left on its body, but it looks better than ordinary zombies. Although the undead creatures are basically not beautiful, I always feel that zombies are the most disgusting among the undead. Although the skeleton looks rather discreet, at least it won't make people feel disgusted.

The zombie didn't react at all to my appearance. The aura of death on Ziri's large body was so strong that even undead creatures would mistake me for the same kind. Of course, the advantages and disadvantages of this situation are almost the same. More, but the current situation is obviously more favorable. I walked carefully in front of the zombie, then took out a handful of black crystal powder and sprinkled it on the zombie.

"Are there any undead creatures here that are much stronger than you?" Low-level undead creatures generally have low intelligence, so I didn't expect to get any clues from a zombie.

Sure enough, the guy paused for a long time before using the soul whisper and said: "If you go forward and pass through the castle of the black knights, you will see the Lich King."

"Thank you." I sprinkled another handful of black crystal powder and ran forward quickly.

This kind of foggy forest is the easiest place to get lost. Although the zombie pointed the direction, I ran for nearly half an hour and still didn't see any Black Knight Castle, but this time I saw many goblins and elves along the way. The goblins and elves mentioned on the sculpture at the beginning are actually not the same as the goblins and elves outside. Usually when talking about elves, most people will directly think of big elves, but there are indeed little elves living in this forest. The so-called big elves are of course a race that are generally taller than humans, very beautiful, with pointed ears, and are particularly good at bows and arrows, while the little elves are less than four inches tall and have two pairs of translucent dragonflies or butterflies on their backs. Little wings, and very cute little things. But cuteness only refers to the appearance of these guys. This race is known as the cradle of the most powerful troublemakers in history. As for the goblins mentioned on the sculpture, at first I thought they were green-skinned goblins, but after seeing them, I discovered that the goblins are monsters transformed from animals, but all I saw along the way were goblins transformed from plants.

Previously, the inscription said that of these three races, one sank, one lied, and one was honest. Now you don't have to guess who they are talking about. The undead are definitely the most sunken race. There are some truth-telling races among the elf branch, but the race that survives here happens to be the race that is the best at lying. Although elves are generally considered an evil race, in fact this race is quite simple. , so they basically don’t even have the intelligence to lie.

I quickly found the Black Knight Castle by asking the fairies who told me the truth along the way. Since my attributes tend to be dark, I was immediately warmly welcomed here. All the local undead knights regarded me as a high-level undead knight. As a result, the knight lord in the castle heard that I accidentally fell into this space and specially sent a knight to be my guide. Thanks to the help of this undead knight lord, I finally know what this place is. Originally I thought this was the treasure-hiding space opened by Tianzhao himself, but now I know that this place turned out to be a space gap, which seemed to be the junction area between the human world and the undead world. Its own power was relatively chaotic, and now this area has already Sealed by the superior gods, it is impossible to reach the human world or the world of the dead through here, which means that this place has become an independent closed space. As for how Tianzhao found such a place and transformed it into a treasure hiding space, only he knows.

In fact, what the Lord of the Undead Knight told me was not only the origin of this place, but also important information that they actually knew about Tianzhao's existence, but they had no contact with each other. Most of the creatures here are native-born, so they have no desire to leave here, and Tianzhao has not thought about taking them away. These creatures don't pay special attention to Tian Zhao. They just know that he is very strong. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, the creatures here don't dare to cause trouble with him. The undead knight lord told me that Tian Zhao would come over every once in a while, walk around a place and then leave immediately without doing anything. They also visited when Tian Zhao was away, but found nothing. And that's where this guide is taking me now. Anyway, I've found out everything I need to ask, so there's no need to go see the Lich Lord.

The journey was much easier with local creatures as guides. We soon arrived at the place where Tianzhao often came to visit. The guide left after dropping me off. As a thank you, I gave him two complete black pieces. crystal. I started researching this place after the Black Knight left. Ordinarily, if Tian Zhao comes here often, it means that this place must be very important, and since he never lands and just flies away every time, it means that he is not here to deposit or retrieve things, it can only mean that he is here to patrol. Generally speaking, places where items are stored, especially places such as secret treasure troves, should not need to be inspected frequently, because it is not safe. So if it's not a dead thing, there can only be one possibility - there is some kind of living creature sealed in this place.

After carefully searching the ground, I found something. This place is actually a forest clearing. Although you can’t see the whole clearing while standing on the clearing due to the fog, I am not an ordinary person. I am a dragon and I have an electronic chip in my brain. By recording the topography of each part, I can easily synthesize a three-dimensional topographic map of this place in my mind, and once this map is synthesized, the secret is solved.

On the surface, it seems that there are piles of small stones randomly scattered in the open space here, and strange plants grow in some places. But as long as you synthesize the terrain map and look down at the terrain map from an aerial perspective, you will find those small piles of stones. The combination just formed the outline of a huge magic circle on the ground, and those strange plants were just located in each corner of the circle. This is actually a huge energy-gathering magic circle. Those piles of stones are the main body of the magic circle. Those plants seem to play a role similar to magic crystals, but here they may provide natural life magic. Basically, these plants are providing vitality to support the operation of this seal, and the main function of the seal seems to be to transmit the power obtained from the plants, and I have also found the transmission target.

I dug down along the magic transmission point, and after removing about one meter of soil, I found the eye of a magic array composed of rubies. Then I started to widen it along the magic lines, and finally dug out A huge pit with a diameter of more than thirty meters was formed. Because the magic pets and summoned creatures were stuck outside, it took me more than three hours to dig such a big hole by myself. Thanks to my amazing strength, most people would definitely not be able to complete it.

The magic circle looked much better after it was completely unearthed. Through a rough scan, I have determined that it is a sealing magic circle. The seal itself has a certain power, but the magic power will dissipate, but the dissipation speed will vary depending on the technology. In other words, if the ordinary seal is ignored, it will fail sooner or later. But this seal is different. On the one hand, it has a relatively high level and loses very little magic power. Secondly, the energy-gathering magic circle on the ground is always replenishing its consumption, so this seal should be infinite as long as nothing happens.

After confirming the existence of the seal, I no longer thought about it. Since it is something sealed by Tianzhao, according to the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, there should be no adverse consequences if I release him. At least the first person this guy will deal with when he comes out will definitely be Tianzhao.

Since the seal itself is targeted to what's underneath, breaking it from the outside is pretty simple. I walked to every corner of the seal and dug out all the gems at key points. As the light on the seal began to fade, it finally turned into black blood from an unknown creature. 'Condensed textures. Once the magic is gone, the rest is easy. A thin layer of soil was pushed downward slightly to reveal a structure made of stone slabs. After prying off the slabs, there were very large rooms underneath. Through this hole, I successfully entered the room.

Since the entire room was buried under the earth, the lighting was terrible, but that didn't bother me. Originally, I thought there must be a strong guy sealed down there, but who knew that after coming down, I entered a room that looked like an armory. The rows of weapon racks in the entire room can be said to have all the weapons of Class 18. Although they are all covered with dust, it can be seen that they are not ordinary goods. Of course, I am more sure that the one placed at the front is definitely not the best. Passing through the weapon rack, there are actually eight magic display stands behind it. Each display stand emits a beam of light upwards, and eight pieces of extremely gorgeous equipment are floating in these eight beams of light.

"Hey, I knew there must be something good behind this."

I first walked to the light pillar on the far left. Suspended in this light pillar was a set of standard RB warrior armor. The red protective equipment looked like it was made of bamboo and animal leather. It was not metal anyway. Although I have no use for this thing, it must be a good product from the looks of it. Since Masamoto Matsumoto wants to re-establish his prestige in rb, he must have a lot of younger brothers. These things will definitely be useful to him. Thinking of this, I stretched out my hand to take out the equipment. Who knew that as soon as my hand touched the light beam, it seemed to hit a wall, and I couldn't reach it. Since Eternity was not around, I had no choice but to slash with my bladed claws, but it all proved to be in vain. This beam of light actually acted like an absolute barrier for me. No matter how much I attacked, it didn't react at all. Just when I was helpless, a strange voice suddenly appeared.

"You'd better not waste your strength. It's a sealing pillar created by borrowing the sealing power of a higher god. Without the strength of a higher god, you will never be able to break it open."
