Chapter 173 You Are Not Qualified (Fourth Update)
Seeing Xiaoluo crying so sadly, Rogge quickly used the power of the candle to make an almost identical one at all costs, which made Xiaoluo stop crying gradually.
He also carefully checked Xiaoluo's condition, but she was indeed fine, just frightened.
This made Rogge feel relieved.
Nonia also stepped forward to comfort her with great distress.
If she could give guidance, Xiaoluo might not need to do this.
With the snail shell made by Rogge, Xiaoluo's crying slowly stopped. Although she was still wiping tears, she was obviously much better.
But what Rogge didn't expect was that the first sentence after Xiaoluo recovered made him frown.
"They... they are coming..."
"Probably in that direction..."
"Rogge... Nonia... dangerous..."
Xiaoluo sobbed softly, but her eyes were filled with worry for the two of them.
At the same time, she also pointed out a direction, which was outside the dark boundary.
"They?" Nonia's hands suddenly clenched.
"...I know. Thank you for your hard work, little guy."
Rog narrowed his eyes, then smiled gently and rubbed Xiaoluo's head.
Afterwards, his face gradually calmed down and he looked in the direction Xiaoluo pointed.
The sky was still dark and unchanged.
But this was just the last calm before the storm came...
...
The players' exploration continued.
Wangdao had come to the end of the left road at this time. Along the way, he encountered many snake soldiers and leaders in the temple ruins, but they did not pose any threat to him.
On the way, he also saw a lot of "rooms".
But although they were rooms, they were actually the nests where these snake soldiers lived, or things like practice rooms or storage rooms.
And these places also have a strong snake style, such as the armor hanging in the storage room, and a lot of snake skins next to it.
Wangdao also picked up a lot of [Snake Shedding] that can be used as potion materials.
There is no doubt that this group of snakes led by the lion snake has wisdom and has entered civilization.
Its unique structural style is also eye-opening.
"This production team is really attentive... Even the hammer on the tail can be made so meticulously."
In this situation, even Wangdao, who doesn't pay much attention to the scenery, can't help but pick up a tool and look at it while marveling.
However, Wangdao didn't forget his main purpose.
After another exploration, he ended his exploration of the left road. There was almost no important content on this road, but there were some minor texts.
But this is not Wangdao's interest. Maybe the storyteller will be more interested in this snake culture.
"I didn't encounter any pollution or sanity this time. I'm a little uncomfortable."
On the way back, Wangdao touched his chin and smiled.
Indeed, the map copies they had experienced before had more or less some sanity-losing things like "corruption", "madness" and "boarding".
But this Gales Depression...at least for now, I haven't seen it.
Compared with the former, these armored snakes even seem harmless.
Wangdao continued to explore while thinking.
Soon, he explored the road on the right.
This time, he made a big discovery.
This road leads down, and it seems to belong to an independent area in the ruins of a temple, dark and damp.
Soon, Wang Dao understood where this place was.
This is the prison of the lion snake tribe.
Because he saw a lot of irrational zombies imprisoned in the cell, most of which were lizards and snakes.
The rest were some from other tribes, which looked like birds, insects, and even a rhinoceros...
But they have all become zombies at this time. Although their bodies are not shriveled, they have lost their minds like those snake soldiers.
After searching in vain, Wang Dao continued to move forward.
In front of a prison, he suddenly stopped and looked into the cell.
The prison imprisoned a strong lizard monster, and behind it were two corpses with torn clothes.
At this time, a prompt also appeared in Wang Dao's sight.
[Your item "Ancient Stone Pointer" has moved. ]
Seeing this, Wang Dao took it out of the inventory.
At the moment of taking it out, the ancient stone pointer flickered with a faint light, and a moment later, a bearded soul appeared in front of Wang Dao.
He looked at the two corpses in front of him and sighed slightly.
"It's a pity that we couldn't die together... I broke my oath..."
Then, he looked at Wang Dao and thanked him solemnly.
"Thank you very much."
"I wish you can find the traces of God here..."
After that, Wang Dao had no time to ask, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. He looked up at the sky, and his soul dissipated...
Trace of God?
Wang Dao was a little surprised, and didn't quite understand what he meant by this sentence.
But then, he noticed.
The ancient stone pointer in his hand had lost its stone surface at some point, showing a smooth and round white color.
[Phantom-repelling pointer (collection)]
[Type: special item]
[Effect: After being charged by war, the item can be filled with power against illusion-type spells, which can be released when needed to break it. ]
[Explanation: Explorers headed for the sea, but those who could go down in history seemed to be one of the rare ones picked up from the sea of sand... Their stories were also buried with the sunken ships and corpses...]
After reading the Exorcist Pointer, Wang Dao was thoughtful.
Then, he put away the Exorcist Pointer in his hand and continued to move forward.
The explorer's story has come to an end.
And his story is just a comma...
...
"I don't know where the old woman NPC ran off to... Forget it, let's figure out the situation here first."
"There is nothing on the left, and there is a prison on the right..."
"Going down is the hall, which should be the main entrance of the temple ruins mentioned by Brother Mangzi. It's full of meaty pythons, which are really hard to kill..."
"The way behind is to the balcony, which is the outer perimeter of the temple..."
"There are actually snakemen throwing spears. I thought there wouldn't be that kind of classic snakemen..."
Wang Dao, who went back to hand in the task on the way, found nothing and had to turn back to continue exploring. At this time, he summarized the situation of several branches.
Compared to the dangerous outer area of the temple ruins, there are much fewer traps in the temple, and there are almost no underworld designs and mechanisms.
Come to think of it, the snakes of this lion snake are obviously intelligent before the disaster comes. Who would install traps at home?
However, Wangdao thinks that this should be a compromise between the game of Lingzhu and the planner.
Let's get back to the point.
On other branches, Wangdao also got some weapons and equipment of good quality, and the snakeman spearman on the balcony even had war fire.
But overall, they are not very useful to him, and he can only take them back to exchange for wax oil.
"Then there is only one way left."
After saying that, Wangdao cleared the snakes blocking the road again, and came to the last door that needed to be opened by [Commander Giant Fang].
There was no moth, and Wangdao opened the door smoothly.
Wangdao went up the stairs all the way, and he was a little confused.
"Snakes also climb stairs?"
"This is not right, shouldn't the whole bark be better?"
He couldn't help but think in his heart.
This is indeed a strange place.
From the internal structure of the temple ruins, there are indeed many shadows of the living habits of snakes.
But from the overall structure of the temple ruins, it is obviously not much different from human buildings, but snakes live in it.
Therefore, this place gives Wangdao the feeling that it is more like... it has been transformed by snakes.
That's right, it has been transformed by snakes.
Although the overall structure has not changed, the interior has become suitable for snakes to live.
Thinking of this, combined with the "traces of God" mentioned by the soul of the treasure chest owner before, the result is naturally obvious.
This was originally a temple, but it was transformed by the snakes into a place suitable for them to live.
Thinking of this, Wangdao understood.
Of course, he did not arrogantly think that this was the truth, it was just one of the possibilities.
"Oh my god!"
"Huh..."
"Why did this step suddenly go down."
While thinking, Wangdao stepped on the air and was suddenly startled. Fortunately, the character's physical fitness was not bad, so he stabilized his body.
Wang Dao was puzzled when he saw the stairs that suddenly went down, but he didn't think much about it. He shrugged and continued to walk.
This time he didn't lose his mind, but just walked along the road silently.
He didn't speed up until he saw the glimmer in front of him.
But just when he expected to see the surroundings clearly, he was stunned.
"Isn't this where I started?"
Wang Dao was puzzled.
Did he go the wrong way just now, or did he accidentally look back when he was distracted?
Thinking of this, he frowned and walked away again.
After a while, his figure appeared again, and he ran back to confirm the milestone candle next to him, and then he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Ghost wall?
No, maybe it would be more appropriate to call it "illusion".
After frowning and thinking for a while, he thought of the task props he had just obtained.
"So, I have to do this copy side quest to find the way here..."
He took out the magic pointer in the inventory, ignited the war and started charging.
He charged, and the other side was not idle, and continued to move forward.
After eating two wax blocks, the Exorcist Pointer finally moved to a (usable) suffix.
Coincidentally, he also came to the way down the stairs.
Wangdao looked around and found that both sides were exactly the same. He touched the surroundings and found that the walls were solid.
What kind of illusion is so powerful that the touch is exactly the same.
After a surprise in his heart, Wangdao took out the Exorcist Pointer and ignited the war fire to activate it.
Bang...
After a light sound.
The surrounding environment began to distort like water waves, and the amplitude became larger and larger. Wangdao was also a little dizzy and almost couldn't stand.
But fortunately, this process was not long, and the surroundings quickly returned to normal.
And Wangdao also found at this time that there were no two ways down, only one up and one down.
The illusion just now should have confused his vision and senses.
Fortunately, he remembered the branch line, otherwise he would have to pass it back to ask others.
Wangdao was somewhat fortunate.
Continuing up the stairs, Wang Dao once again came to a level with multiple branches.
This made him happy but also a little annoyed.
After sighing, Wang Dao conducted a rough exploration.
As expected, it was a snake nest and some patrolling snake leaders, and the average level was much stronger than the ones below.
In addition, Wang Dao also found a key point.
That is the traces of buildings here.
Although it was transformed a lot by the snake group, Wang Dao could still see some traces such as libraries, showrooms, collection rooms and more luxurious rooms.
It is almost certain that Wang Dao's previous guess was correct. The ruins of this temple were indeed occupied and transformed by the snake group.
After a rough exploration, Wang Dao continued to move forward along the steps.
The steps behind began to rise in a spiral shape, and fences began to appear next to the steps.
In addition, some scale-like things began to appear on the steps.
Wang Dao picked it up and checked it, and squinted his eyes.
[Ash Scale]
[Type: Miscellaneous]
[Description: The scales that have fallen off the surface of powerful organisms, without the supply of spiritual materials, can only slowly turn into ashes. ]
This scale is very large, obviously a snake scale, and it is most likely a lion snake.
How did its scales fall on the steps?
Wang Dao was thinking, but nothing came of it.
At the same time, he also noticed the scene outside the temple.
Swamps, dead trees, dark sky, dark border, naturally have nothing to do with the beautiful scenery.
But Wang Dao's eyes were empty, and he found a bright spot.
In the distance, there seemed to be a towering dead tree, and its difference from other dead trees was its huge size and small lumps of various shapes on top...
This seemed to be another race similar to a group of snakes.
"It seems that this copy of the Gales Depression probably also has hidden places and bosses..."
Wang Dao secretly noted it and continued to move forward.
Finally, he saw the end of the stairs.
Similarly, this is also the top of the temple ruins.
The room in front of Wang Dao... looks like a dinner plate covered with a lid, and there is a layer of faint power flowing on it.
This should be the boss room?
Wang Dao was about to go forward to check, but he noticed a wax mark under his feet.
Oh, someone got there before me?
He clicked it curiously.
[Turn back, you are not qualified. ]
What does it mean?
Wang Dao was a little puzzled.
But he soon understood what this sentence meant.
[The power of the vigorous fire protects this place, you cannot enter]
Wang Dao could not even get close to the room in front of him, let alone open it with the commanding giant tooth.
His attack could indeed weaken the shield with unknown power, but the outrageous thing was that it would also self-repair like the surrounding environment and buildings.
And Wang Dao's output was obviously unable to suppress the speed of this repair.
Can't get in!
Wang Dao's mouth twitched.
Obviously, the illusion had been dispelled with the magic pointer just now, but now there are other requirements to enter. Isn't this stupid?
This planner is really stupid!
Just when Wang Dao was cursing in his heart, a faint voice suddenly came from the back.
"Oh oh oh... Brave candle spirit, you seem to have encountered some troubles."
"Perhaps the wise Leti will be interested in providing you with some small help..."
At the bottom of the stairs, Leti leaned against the railing with a relaxed look.
This chapter counts as yesterday, and there will be more tonight.
