Chapter 86: Exploring the Tower Again
"Where exactly are we? Why haven't we arrived yet?" Nie Wen pouted and looked angrily at Lu Hao who was walking slowly behind her.
It has been more than an hour since they left Dragon City, but there is still no sign of the Forgotten Tower that Ma Yingjie mentioned, which made Nie Wen complain a few times.
"It's almost there. Do you see that small slope ahead? You can see it after you climb over it." Lu Hao wiped his sweat and answered breathlessly. He was not as fast as the withered Bauhinia and Nie Wen.
As for "borrowing" the Black Knight's skeleton horse, Ma Yingjie really didn't have the courage. Riding a skeleton horse without reins and saddle was too exhausting. Ma Yingjie didn't have the habit of self-abuse, so he could only choose to walk.
Nie Wen looked at a small dirt hill not far ahead, let out a long sigh, and muttered, "It's too hot. Why does this damn game imitate the summer heat so realistically?"
"This is the reality." The withered Bauhinia flower beside her laughed and wiped the sweat off her pretty face with her hand.
After climbing the small earthen slope, Nie Wen finally understood what Lu Hao meant by "she could see it after she climbed over the slope". Looking at a tall tower standing obliquely in the distance, Nie Wen felt hopeless and squatted on the ground.
Although the thief is fast, his endurance is not much higher than Lu Hao's. The thief's advantage is mainly reflected in short-term battles, which is similar to Cheng Yaojin's three axes.
"You liar, I will never believe you again." Nie Wen pointed at Lu Hao's red face and scolded him. The two big waves of her breasts rising and falling were extremely attractive, which made Lu Hao think of that ecstatic night again.
"You call me a liar?" Ma Yingjie said with a smile, "I'm not even one thousandth as good as you."
"Huh, is there any way to discourage a girl like this?" Hearing Lu Hao's teasing laugh, Nie Wen turned away with a delicate scolding.
Nie Wen is very clear about her own bad deeds in real life. She steals whatever she can, and cheats if she can't steal. Cheating and deceiving are her forte. Although she is thick-skinned and has read several books on thick black studies, she still can't help blushing.
"call!"
After the Black Knight killed a Shattered Warrior with a single shot, several gold coins and a broken bone burst out. After clearing the last Shattered Warrior, the three finally stood in front of the Forgotten Tower.
"This is our destination this time. There are no monsters on the first floor, only an undead wizard. Starting from the second floor, the lowest level monsters are level 50 death skeletons." Lu Hao was filling in the gaps in the situation here for the two people who had never been to the Forgotten Tower. The two little girls listened very carefully, which made Lu Hao feel that he had a talent for being a teacher.
There was still a refreshing coolness coming from the magic circle standing at the door. The two tower doors swaying in the wind were still old and dilapidated, no different from the last time he came. Even the spider web that he tore last time was still intact, which made Ma Yingjie admire the regeneration ability of the system from the bottom of his heart.
Entering the first floor, the skeletons were still lying quietly like last time, and the golden equipment on the ground emitted an attractive luster under the dim light in the tower.
"Wow, with so many gold equipments, won't we be rich?" Nie Wen frowned when she saw the corpses all over the ground, then she glanced at the equipment on the corpses, and a greedy look appeared on her face.
Faced with so much wealth at your fingertips, no one would not be tempted. Even the wealthy woman, the withered Bauhinia, could not help but be stunned when she saw the equipment glowing with golden light all over the ground. The visual impact was too great.
"Shadow, what's going on?" The withered Bauhinia flower looked much more mature. After a brief moment of absence, it looked at Ma Yingjie calmly.
Since Ma Yingjie proposed to come to this place, he should have seen these things before. Then why can these things still remain here intact?
"Go and get these equipment yourselves." Ma Hao spread his hands, smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
As Lu Hao said, Nie Wen stepped forward and grabbed a robe, and the golden robe turned into ashes where she touched.
"Damn it, why are they all rotten?" Nie Wen cursed as she looked at the dust flying in her hands. The withered bauhinia flowers next to her blushed when they heard Nie Wen's curse.
"That's how it is. I felt the same as you when I first came here." Ma Yingjie laughed dryly as he looked at the two of them. In an instant, the feeling of heaven and earth made them both feel meaningless. It is always heartbreaking to be able to look at things that cannot be touched, and there are so many gold equipments. It is simply a waste of resources to rot here.
Looking at the empty first floor, Ma Yingjie did not find the figure of the great wizard Ferrandis. Ma Yingjie was too lazy to care about it. This old man is now a necromancer and will never die. Now he has no idea where he has gone to chat with the skeletons.
The three of them went straight to the second floor. As soon as they entered the second floor, the sweat on their bodies immediately froze into ice. The two women who were unprepared were startled by this sudden event.
Ma Yingjie had no choice but to explain to them: "This layer is an ice-sealed area, and the third layer is a world of fire. As for the layers above, I don't know. With my strength, I can't defeat the guardian boss on the third layer."
"Oh, it looks like the environment here is pretty good." Nie Wen stepped forward and looked around, seeing a large number of ice stalactites hanging around. Waves of cold were eroding their bodies from time to time, and the burning sensation brought by the journey suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"I haven't had ice cream for a long time. Since I started playing this game, I have rarely been active in real life. Sigh." Nie Wen sighed, as if lamenting that her lost youth could never be recovered.
"Why don't you try the ice here and see what it tastes like?" Ma Hao pointed to a piece of white bones exposed under the ice not far away, and then he burst into laughter. The withered redbud flowers next to him also laughed so hard that their branches trembled, like reeds that were about to die in the wind.
"Why are there no monsters here?" Nie Wen asked the question in her mind in order to divert her embarrassment.
"It was the same as it was last time I came in. After a while, the ice melted, and then a large number of level 50 dead skeletons appeared."
As if to cooperate with Ma Yingjie's words, a large amount of ice and snow began to melt.
"Pay attention to the door and don't get hit by hail. If you get hit, you will lose blood." Lu Hao reminded the two in time, saving Nie Wen from freezing damage.
A large number of stalactites disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon the ice layer on the ground turned into a world of water. After the ice layer completely disappeared, skeletons exuding the smell of death appeared on the ground.
"Crunch." A series of teeth-grinding bone friction sounds rang out continuously on the second floor. The harsh sound made the withered Bauhinia and Nie Wen subconsciously gather around Lu Hao. When faced with danger, women subconsciously handed the burden to men.
"kill."
Ma Yingjie roared, raised the staff in his hand, and cast a slowing spell into the body of the dead skeleton closest to the group, and the skeleton's movements immediately became slow.
The three black knights who were demoted to dark spearmen held their spears and rushed towards the death skeleton that was slowed down by Ma Yingjie, while the five skeleton warriors rushed towards the other death skeleton.
Next, Ma Yingjie cast a dark judgment and threw it at the dulled death skeleton. After the light of the sledgehammer penetrated into the body of the death skeleton, the death skeleton was shot into the air by a black knight.
With a "crash", the death skeleton shattered into pieces of bones. The two people in the team looked at the experience they had gained after being reminded by Lu Hao, and looked at each other in surprise. The monsters here have higher experience than wild monsters, and it is not difficult to clean up these death skeletons according to the current team mode.
"Hehe, we finally found a treasure land for leveling up." After seeing the considerable experience, Withered Bauhinia and Nie Wen no longer disliked the white bones everywhere. After all, this game is set up with two camps of darkness and light, and many monsters are undead creatures. It is impossible to have no contact with skeletons and the like.
"Then why are you still talking nonsense? Come up and help me. You can't just sit there and eat my experience like a baby." Ma Hao reminded the two while staring at the dead skeleton with the light of death.
"Tch, cheapskate."
"Tsk, miser."
Two scoldings rang out at the same time, and then both voices stopped abruptly. After a moment's silence, a burst of laughter broke out. Ma Yingjie looked at the two people whose breasts were surging with laughter, feeling depressed and speechless. They laughed too fiercely.
Joking aside, the men did not slow down. The double arrows, triple arrows and sniper skills of the Withered Bauhinia kept flashing in the second floor. Nie Wen was not willing to fall behind and used the thief's attack skills, serial stabs and theft again and again.
"Ding!"
System prompt: Your teammate, the thief, successfully performed the theft skill on the monster and obtained the item, the Armor of Wind.
After hearing this reminder, Ma Yingjie looked at Nie Wen in surprise, who was still working hard to steal from the monster. The little girl's pretty face showed a hint of smugness, and the dagger in her hand stabbed the dead skeleton continuously. Although the damage was not much, she never tired of it.
"Wenwen, can your stealing skills be used on monsters?" Lu Hao finally couldn't help but asked the most idiotic question. If it can't be used on monsters, then who stole the Armor of Wind just now?
"Of course." Nie Wen raised her chin proudly and answered with her chest puffed out.
"The thief is too powerful." The withered redbud flower on the side couldn't help but interrupt.
