Chapter 144 At Stake
Big, big, big, marble?
I was subconsciously afraid.
Because the previous marble had a huge psychological shadow on me, I could not get out of the shadow without three or two months to cleanse my soul.
Of course, the serious consequences caused by the shadow in his heart are not only this one, but also that when I see the white things again, I will naturally think of marble.
However, after I took a closer look, the horror was gone.
It shouldn't be a piece of marble. It should be said that it is white without it.
If we really want to dig deeper, it should not be classified into the "white" row, but the "yellow" row.
Yes, compared to the poorly lit pit, it appears to be white, however, its actual color should be slightly earthy.
It’s what we commonly call ‘shit yellow’.
"Haha, haha, luckily it's not marble." I scratched my head and said haha, then I remembered that I was the only one in such a big space.
With an embarrassed cough, I stepped forward, squatted down, and used the tip of the Zanmatachi sword to test the 'shit-yellow' thing at close range.
It was initially determined that it was not a living thing, at least not a living thing.
Next, comes the most important moment: to confirm its true identity, whether it is a piece of shit or just something with the same color as shit.
When the two opinions coexisted in my mind at the same time, I no longer looked at the shitty yellow thing in front of me very much.
After peeling away the fine soil around it, I could roughly see the appearance of this thing clearly.
It is two palms long and one palm wide, square and square, like a box lid.
When you touch it with the tip of the knife, it will feel neither soft nor hard, but slightly elastic, a bit like air-dried sheepskin.
I tentatively touched its surface with my gauntleted fingers, and pressed a few times with slight force.
The texture is a bit like linen clothes covered with soil.
Um.
I hesitated for a moment, but decided to continue digging it out.
After making up my mind, I put the Zanmatada sword into its scabbard. I used both hands to dig left and right. It didn't take much effort to dig out the shit-yellow thing buried in the soil.
Holding it in my hand, I looked at it repeatedly, and then I realized that it was not a box, but something that looked like a book, not too thin, not too thick, just over half an inch.
I opened the book and flipped through a few pages, only to find that it was filled with densely written words.
In other words, it is more appropriate to say that it is filled with symbols.
Next, with mixed emotions, I read it over a dozen times. Except for the cover and bottom, starting from the first page and ending on the last page, it was filled with strange ghostly symbols.
Fortunately, it appeared at the end of the 13th floor of the dungeon in Zephyr Continent, Airui City. If it appeared on the floor tiles and walls of the streets, it might be regarded as the graffiti notebook of some naughty kid.
I turned over this book over and over again, puzzled.
By the way, what kind of thing would it be if it wasn't a discarded object with random graffiti?
not sure.
There was a glimmer of expectation in my heart: Is this a book on combat skills?
If this is the case, then it is a gift from God to me. In this way, the day when I can counterattack the rich, handsome, cool and awesome people is not far away!
With enthusiasm, I began to think about the purpose of this book.
If it is really a combat skill
Ah?
I suddenly froze, the corners of my mouth twitched, and there were black lines on my forehead.
Because I once again discovered a fatal problem: I have never learned combat skills and I don’t know how to use them!
This became a huge problem, and it stuck with me.
It's like a man with a lot of money comes to a tribe that uses shells as trading tools, but there is no wool to use!
Holding the book in my hand, I knelt down weakly on the ground, feeling completely lost.
But this loss only lasted less than four seconds, because I suddenly remembered that among all the people around me, I seemed to be the only one without any combat skills.
So, except for me, everyone else knows how to use combat skills~
Immediately afterwards, I fell into a state of endless loss again. Deep in my heart, I always felt that I was isolated.
In order to ensure that the hidden treasures would not be ignored, I dug at the bottom of the pit two or three times. After confirming that there was nothing else, I jumped out of the pit with all my strength and used the tools that had been piled high around me. Fill the big hole with dirt, level it, then pat the dirt off your body and walk back.
Today's harvest is not small. I got coins from cleaning up monsters when I came here, and I dug out a shit-yellow booklet that looked like combat skills. All in all, I'm in a pretty good mood.
As soon as I stepped onto the twelfth floor, I saw Rodney, his sister, and a group of noble children slaying monsters from a distance. Since I was in a good mood, I took the initiative to say hello.
"Hey, rich brother, where are you with your family and your family?"
Rodney turned his head and continued to fight monsters: "Well, I will take my sister and a bunch of cousins to fight monsters to pass the time, have fun, and earn some pocket money on the way."
At this time, Rodney's sister happened to hit Rodney in the chest with a magic missile.
Phew!
Rodney flew out on the spot.
Fortunately, the magic missile was not very powerful and Rodney's armor had excellent protective measures, so he did not suffer much damage.
He just became rustic and embarrassed.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, brother!" Rodney's biological sister, Carter Eva, was apologizing to him with an apologetic look. Looking at her posture, she was about to cry again.
However, this is not the point. The point is that while Eva was apologizing, a stone shell monster swung a big ax and chopped down her slender body.
If it hits this time, then Eva
Rodney was shocked and shouted: "Eva, get out of the way, get out of the way!"
However, it was already too late, because the big ax was already raised high and would be chopped down in less than two seconds.
And counting on the speed that Eva's slender body can burst out, it is impossible to avoid it.
But at this time, Eva didn't know yet. She opened her big eyes and looked at Rodney suspiciously, with a puzzled face.
Beside her, several cousins were also stunned by this scene, motionless and unable to even pronounce a single word.
Suddenly, a ray of cold light flashed across, like a sharp arrow, and the crossbow swung into the head of a stone shell monster that was using magic not far away.
Immediately afterwards, a human figure jumped out, rushed in front of the Stone Shell Monster with lightning speed, pulled out the inserted object, and slashed at the Stone Shell Monster's body at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
