Chapter 173 You Are Not Qualified
Chapter 173 You Are Not Qualified (Fourth Update)
Seeing Xiaoluo crying so sadly, Rogge quickly used the power of the spiritual candle to make an almost identical one at all costs, which made Xiaoluo gradually stop crying.
He also carefully checked Xiaoluo's condition, but she was indeed fine, just frightened.
This made Roger feel relieved.
Nonia also went forward to comfort her with great concern.
If she could provide guidance, perhaps Xiaoluo wouldn't have to do this.
With the snail shell made by Roger, the little snail's crying slowly stopped. Although it was still wiping tears, it was obviously much better.
But what Rogge didn't expect was that the first words Xiao Luo said after recovering made him frown.
"They... they are coming..."
"Probably in that direction..."
"Rogge...Nono...danger..."
Xiao Luo sobbed quietly, but her eyes were filled with worry for the two of them.
At the same time, she also pointed out a direction, which was beyond the dark border.
"They?" Nonia's hands suddenly clenched.
"...I understand. Thank you for your hard work, little one."
Roger narrowed his eyes, then smiled gently and rubbed Xiaoluo's head.
Then, his expression gradually returned to calm and he looked in the direction Xiaoluo pointed.
The sky remained dark and unchanged.
But this is just the last calm before the storm...
……
Players' exploration continues.
Wangdao had now reached the end of the left road. Along the way, he encountered many snake soldiers and leaders in the temple ruins, but they did not pose any threat to him.
Along the way, he also saw a lot of "rooms".
But although they are rooms, they are actually the nests where these snake soldiers live, or things like practice rooms or storage rooms.
These places also have a strong snake style, such as the armor hanging in the storage room, and a large amount of snake skins next to it.
Wangdao also picked up a lot of [snake skins] that could be used as potion materials.
There is no doubt that this group of snakes led by the lion snake has already possessed intelligence and entered civilization.
Its unique structural style is also eye-opening.
"This production team is really attentive... Even the hammer on the tail is made so meticulously."
In such a situation, even Wang Dao, who didn't pay much attention to the scenery, couldn't help but pick up a tool and look at it while marveling at it.
However, despite his efforts, Wang Dao still did not forget his main purpose.
After another exploration, he ended his exploration of the left road. There was almost nothing important on this road, but there were some minor texts.
But this is not what Wangdao is interested in. Perhaps storytellers would be more interested in this snake culture.
"I didn't encounter any pollution or sanitation this time. I'm a little uncomfortable with this."
On the way back, Wangdao touched his chin and chuckled.
Indeed, the map copies they had experienced before had more or less some embarrassing things like "corruption", "madness" and "boarding".
But this Gales Depression...at least not yet.
Compared with the former, these armored snakes even seem harmless.
Wangdao continued exploring while thinking.
Soon, he explored the road to the right.
This time, he made a great discovery.
The road leads downward and seems to belong to an independent area within the temple ruins. It is dark and damp.
Soon, Wangdao understood where this place was.
This is the prison of the lion snake tribe.
Because he saw many mad zombie creatures imprisoned in cells, the most numerous of which were lizards and snakes.
The rest are from other groups, including birds, insects, and even a rhino...
However, they have all turned into 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 cell, he suddenly stopped and looked inside.
Imprisoned in this prison is a strong lizard monster, and behind it are two corpses with torn clothes.
At this time, a hint also appeared in Wangdao's sight.
[Your item "Ancient Stone Pointer" has changed. 】
Seeing this, Wangdao took it out from the inventory.
The moment it was taken out, the ancient stone pointer flickered with a faint light, and a moment later, a bearded soul appeared in front of Wangdao.
After taking a look at the two corpses in front of him, he 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, before Wang Dao could ask any more questions, a trace of relief flashed across his eyes, he looked up at the sky, and his soul dissipated...
Traces of God?
Wangdao was a little surprised and didn't quite understand what he meant.
But then he noticed.
The ancient stone pointer in his hand had lost its stone surface at some point, revealing a smooth and round white color.
【Phantom pointer (collection)】
[Type: Special Items]
[Effect: After being charged by war, this item can be filled with power against illusion-type spells, and can be released when needed to break them.]
[Explanation: Explorers headed for the sea, but those who could leave their names in history were like a rare grain picked up from the sea of sand... Their stories were also buried with the sunken ships and corpses...]
After reading the Magic Pointer, Wang Dao was thoughtful.
Then he put away the magic 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 that old woman NPC ran off to... Forget it, let's figure out the situation here first."
"There's nothing on the left, and there's a prison on the right..."
"Down below is the hall, which should be the main entrance to the temple ruins that Brother Mangzi mentioned. It's full of fleshy pythons, which are really hard to kill..."
"The road behind leads to the balcony, which is the outer perimeter of the temple..."
"There are actually snake people who throw spears. I thought there wouldn't be snake people with that classic image..."
Wangdao, who went back on the way to hand in the task, found nothing and had to turn back to continue exploring. At this time, he summarized the situations of several branch routes.
Compared to the danger-filled outer areas of the temple ruins, there are far fewer traps inside the temple, and there are almost no underworld designs or mechanisms.
Come to think of it, this group of lion vipers were obviously intelligent before the disaster struck. Who would install traps at home?
However, Wangdao felt that this should be a compromise between Lingzhu Game and its planner.
Closer to home.
On other branches, Wangdao also got some good quality weapons and equipment, and the snakeman spearman on the balcony even had war fire.
But overall it is of little use to him, he can just take it back and exchange it for wax oil.
"Then there is only one way left."
As he spoke, Wang Dao once again cleared the snakes that were blocking his way, and came to the last door that needed to be opened by [Commander of the Giant Fang].
Without any problems, Wangdao opened the door smoothly.
Wangdao walked up the stairs, feeling somewhat confused.
"Snakes climb stairs?"
"This isn't right, wouldn't it be better to just use the whole bark or something?" he couldn't help but think.
This is indeed a strange thing.
Judging from the internal structure of the temple ruins, there are indeed many traces of the living habits of snakes.
But judging from the overall structure of the temple ruins, it is obviously not much different from human buildings, but snakes live inside.
So, this place gave Wangdao the feeling that it was more like... it was transformed by a group of snakes.
That’s right, it was transformed by the snakes.
Although the overall structure has not changed, the interior has become suitable for snakes to live in.
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 indeed a temple originally, but it was transformed by the snakes into a place suitable for them to live in.
Thinking of this, Wang Dao understood.
Of course, he was not arrogant enough to think that this was the truth. It was just one of the possibilities.
"Oh shit!"
"call……"
"Why did this staircase suddenly go down?"
While thinking, Wangdao stepped on empty air and was suddenly startled. Fortunately, the character's physical fitness was not bad, so he managed to stabilize his body.
Looking at the stairs that suddenly went downwards, Wang Dao was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. He shrugged and continued walking.
This time he didn't lose focus, but just walked silently along the road.
Only when he saw the glimmer of light ahead did he quicken his pace and walk out.
But just as he was expecting to see the surrounding scenery clearly, he was stunned.
“Isn’t this where I started?”
Wang Dao was full of doubts.
Did he take the wrong path just now, or did he accidentally look back while distracted?
Thinking of this, he frowned and walked away again.
After a while, his figure appeared again, and he ran back to check the milestone spirit candle next to him, then he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Ghost hitting the wall?
No, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it "illusion".
After frowning and thinking for a moment, he thought of the task props he had just obtained.
"So, I have to complete this dungeon side quest to find the way here..."
He took out the illusion-dispelling pointer from the inventory, ignited the fire and started charging.
He was charging his energy while the other side was also busy and started to move forward.
After eating two wax blocks, the magic pointer finally had the suffix (usable).
Coincidentally, he also came to the way down the stairs.
Wangdao looked around and found that both sides were exactly the same. He touched all around and found that the walls were also solid.
What kind of illusion is so powerful that the touch is exactly the same.
After a cry of surprise in his heart, Wang Dao took out the illusion-driving pointer, ignited the fire of war and started to activate it.
bang...
After a soft sound.
The surrounding environment began to distort like water waves, with the amplitude becoming larger and larger. Wang Dao felt a little dizzy and almost fell down.
But fortunately, this process did not last long and the surroundings soon returned to normal.
At this time, Wang Dao also discovered that there were no two ways down, only one staircase leading up and one leading down.
The illusion just now should have only confused his vision and senses.
Fortunately, he remembered the branch quest, otherwise he would have to go back and ask other people.
Wang Dao felt somewhat relieved.
Continuing up the stairs, Wangdao once again arrived at a level with multiple branches.
This made him happy but also a little bit annoyed.
After a sigh, Wangdao conducted a rough exploration.
As expected, there was another snake nest and some patrolling snake leaders, whose average level was much stronger than those below.
In addition to this, Wangdao also discovered a key point.
That is the trace of the building here.
Although it has been transformed a lot by the snakes, Wang Dao can still see some traces of libraries, showrooms, collection rooms and more luxurious rooms.
It is almost certain that Wangdao's previous guess was correct, and the ruins of this temple were indeed occupied and transformed by a group of snakes.
After a rough exploration, Wangdao continued along the stairs.
The steps at the back began to rise in a spiral shape, and a fence began to appear next to the steps.
Also, some scaly things began to appear on the steps.
Wangdao picked it up and looked at it, then narrowed his eyes.
[Ashe Scale]
[Type: sundries]
[Explanation: The scales that have fallen off the surface of powerful organisms, without the supply of spiritual materials, can only slowly turn into ashes. ]
The scales are very large, obviously snake scales, and most likely from a lion snake.
How did its scales fade onto the steps?
Wang Dao was thinking about something, but to no avail.
At the same time, he also noticed the scene outside the temple.
Swamps, dead trees, gloomy skies, and dark borders naturally have nothing to do with the beautiful scenery.
However, Wang Dao's eyes widened and he discovered the bright spot.
In the distance, there seems to be a towering dead tree, and what makes it different from other dead trees is its huge size and the small lumps of various shapes on top...
This seems to be another snake-like race.
"It seems that this dungeon in Gales Depression also has hidden locations and bosses..."
Wangdao secretly took note of it and continued moving forward.
Finally, he saw the end of the stairs.
Likewise, this is the top of the temple ruins.
The room in front of Wangdao... looked like a dinner plate covered with a lid, with a faint layer of 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.
Wow, someone got here before me?
He clicked it out of curiosity.
【Turn back, you are not qualified. 】
What do you 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]
Not to mention using the Commander's Tooth to open the room in front of him, Wang Dao couldn't even get close to it.
His attack could indeed weaken the shield with unknown power, but the outrageous thing was that it could also repair itself like the surrounding buildings.
However, Wang Dao's output was obviously unable to overwhelm the speed of repair.
Can't get in!
Wang Dao’s mouth twitched.
I have clearly used the Illusion-Removing Pointer to dispel the illusion just now, but now there are other requirements before I can enter. Isn't this stupid?
This plan is really crazy!
Just as Wang Dao was cursing in his heart, a faint voice suddenly came from behind.
"Oh, oh, oh... Brave Candle Spirit, you seem to be in some trouble."
"Perhaps the wise Leti would be interested in providing you with some small help..."
At the bottom of the stairs, Leti leaned against the railing, looking relaxed.
This chapter is from yesterday, there will be another one tonight.
Please give me a monthly ticket!!!
