V1.Chapter 13

(Wait for a trip to Nanchang. Yesterday was the fourth watch, and today there is only one watch in the morning. Come back tomorrow.)

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Just ten meters away.

Sauron spent more than half an hour. The most troublesome thing about the trap is not how to remove it, but you can't be sure where it will be hidden. Especially in this one-hit-kill trap, many times you are taking risks with your head on, and even the slightest bit of carelessness may kill you. This is also the reason why many professionals prefer to find a secure job and do not like to explore underground ruins.

"Found!"

The perception of 15 o'clock made Sauron very sensitive to danger. With his previous experience, he carefully used a dagger to pry open an irregular stone from the corner of the wall, and indeed found a complicated launching device in it. There should be a trigger buried in the ground. If there is an adult's weight stepping on it, the trigger will activate the trigger of the launch device in front of you, and then more than three crossbow bolts will be fired on the wall.

"one two three four five six!……"

Sauron couldn't help wiping his cold sweat, secretly thankful that he was careful enough, this is actually a multiple crossbow trap, and if he was accidentally hit, he would be shot into a sieve. Unless he wears heavy armor, it is possible to block this powerful crossbow bolt. If he remembered correctly, the single lethality of this powerful crossbow trap is about 12 points. If it misses the key point, six crossbow bolts are enough to kill him in an instant.

Click!

Sauron grabbed the main trigger with his finger, then lay on the ground and tapped the iron bar with a dagger. This trap was made of special steel. After simple enchanting treatment, it would not rust or go wrong for decades. The traps in some underground ruins are completely enchanted, and they are still deadly enough to be buried in the ground for hundreds of years!

clap clap.

Six crossbow arrows shot out, all of which sank into the wall on the other side.

Disregarding the dust on his face, Sauron dug out the launcher inside, and then followed his memory to find the location of the trap.

A trigger, a launcher, and a crossbow trap.

"good stuff!"

A smile appeared on Sauron's face, and he disassembled them into parts and put them in. The thieves didn't just have to close their eyes when setting traps. Even a legendary thief can't set traps without the right materials. If you buy a strong crossbow trap material from Shadow Mask, don't even think about it if you don't have 30 or 50 Kindlers!

After all, this is a trap device that is enough to kill fighters below the occupation level five.

A row of data emerges:

"Successfully disarmed the trap."

"Your thief skills have been improved, and you have gained 210 professional experience."

Professional trap dismantling experience is very high, and the thief skills are more demanding. Soran put away the other things, but assembled the crossbow launcher. It was not an ordinary crossbow bolt, but a box for firing crossbow bolts. After Sauron dug out the six crossbow bolts and put them back in, he only needed to pull the trigger in the box, and he could shoot six crossbow bolts in one go.

This device cannot be fired in a single shot, it must be fully loaded before it can be fired, and six crossbow bolts are required at a time!

After all, this is not a formally built strong crossbow.

Sauron removed a trap and moved on. It seemed that there was just a strong acid trap that had been triggered by the unlucky thief.

The price of the strong acid trap is higher, and it takes about 100 Kindlers to set up!

Because it is possible to use a magic trigger device.

The cave at the back became curved, and Sauron relaxed a little. It was very difficult to arrange traps in this environment, and it was easy to be triggered by rats and the like, so there should be no traps here. However, he did not dare to take it lightly, and proceeded cautiously until a hidden stone gate appeared in front of him.

Squeak!

After confirming that there were no traps on the stone gate, Sauron gently pushed it away.

"Wow!"

A gust of gloomy wind blew, Sauron suddenly felt a chill on his back, and without hesitation he slashed his weapon towards the rear, only to see a hazy shadow emerge, a miserable smile appeared on the hideous ghost's face, and disappeared in place with a strange cry. .

"ghost?!"

Sauron leaned against the wall cautiously, and quickly took out the holy water.

Ghosts were spiritual beings, and conventional non-enchanted weapons couldn't hurt them. Even if they stood and let Sauron slash a hundred times, it wouldn't matter.

They can only be dealt with by other people's means.

"Jie Jie!"

Weird laughter emerged, and the ghost's phantom appeared again.

It emits a sharp howl, which is one of its innate abilities. It has a low-level [Howl of the Undead] effect, and has the power of a magic-like 'fear spell'. If it is a cowardly person, it will be instantly stunned.

As soon as Sauron's eardrums hurt, he didn't have the slightest fear in his heart, and smashed the holy water with his backhand.

bang!

Holy water was sprinkled all over the ghost's body, and a shrill scream suddenly sounded, and the ghost's figure quickly dissolved, turning into a shadow and disappearing.

"Fortunately, I was prepared."

Soran wiped his cold sweat and picked up a small black stone on the ground.

This is the ghost's soul fragment!

The life of pure spiritual body may be transformed into material structure when it dissipates. It is such a soul fragment, which is a common charging material.

Necromancers love it.

The price is about fifteen Kindlers!

The challenge level of the ghost is five, and there is no restraint in the hand, no matter how many people come.

Because it is not afraid of physical attacks at all.

However, if you bring items such as holy water, an ordinary person can also kill them, which is one of the extremely difficult and extremely good creatures to deal with.

A row of data emerges:

"Holy water hits the ghost, dealing 60 points of damage."

"Target dies!"

"Extract the target's soul energy and gain 120 experience points."

Sauron's experience points are enough to raise a thief level, but he did not do so.

Because it is too difficult to obtain killing experience, this kind of experience is generally used to improve advanced occupations and multi-tasking abilities. There is absolutely no need to use valuable killing experience before the fifth level of thieves. If he encounters other traps, he only needs to dismantle one or two more to upgrade. If there is a chance to do part-time jobs, killing experience is the most valuable thing.

Squeak!

Sauron pushed open the stone door of the secret room.

Many things inside are covered with dust, and there are some books on the walls, but they are all damaged.

There are spider webs on all sides and mouse holes in the corners.

It's been deserted here for a long time.

In front of it was a stone table with many odds and ends, such as an unknown skull, broken finger bones, dried bat corpses, and a black wooden box.

"No supernatural weapons, no magic devices."

There was a hint of disappointment in Sauron's eyes. There seemed to be nothing of value in this secret room, except for the wooden box that didn't know what was in it.

He touched it lightly, and after making sure there was no trap, he picked it up carefully.

"It seems to be Ironwood?"

Sauron looked around, held the box in the palm of his hand, away from his head, and then pried it open with a dagger.

He still can't judge whether there will be magic traps inside.

But if you want to come to such a low-level treasure cave, there shouldn't be so many traps, but it's better to stay away from your own head.

Click!

Sauron pried open the box in front of him, which contained three cards.

It seems to be out of tune with everything around, the three cards are so exquisite, the mithril lace is inlaid with fine diamonds, and in the center is a vortex-like magic pattern, which draws all eyes into it at a glance. . This seems to be something that can be made under the current civilization at all, and even the divine power badge of the temple is not so beautiful.

Soran's face showed an expression that he didn't know whether to be surprised or worried, because he was holding a legendary magic item.

——“Vientiane Impermanence Card?!”

This is a treasure left over from the time of the Arcane Empire, said to be the boring work of a legendary Arcanist.

There are a total of 108 cards in Vientiane Impermanence, each of which has a special magic power, which may give you unimaginable benefits or bring you devastating disasters.

No one knows what Vientiane Impermanence will bring!

Some people were drowned by 10,000 arcane gold coins falling from the sky after opening the cards, and some people were struck by a strong lightning head-on after opening them.

"Item Identification!"

Soran tried to activate the data flow in his brain, and soon a row of small words appeared:

"Vientiane Impermanence Card [Legendary Item]*3: The gadgets left over from the Arcane Empire period are the highest achievements of alchemy in the previous era, and incredible things will happen when they are opened."

(It is said that drawing an ace can give you unimaginable power!)

Do you want to open it?

Sauron showed a hint of embarrassment, and finally gritted his teeth and took out a card, biting his fingertips and dripping a drop of blood.

The front and back of the Vientiane Impermanence card are the same. Only blood can be used to open the card. No one knows what this card represents before opening it, and even a legendary wizard has no way to predict it.

A faint light emerged.

After absorbing Sauron's blood, the first Vientiane Impermanence card rippled like a ripple, and then the vortex in the center began to appear. The first thing that appeared was a treasure house, which was filled with countless gold coins, gems and equipment. This picture made Sauron extremely excited, because it meant that he had probably drawn a 'treasure card'.

But.

Immediately, a wretched figure appeared at the gate of the treasure house. He was holding a bag and was desperately holding the treasure.

"Do not!"

Sauron's face instantly collapsed, he knew what he had drawn.

- "The thief!"

The opened Vientiane Impermanence card flashed a ray of light, and then a wretched phantom appeared. He laughed strangely, and an ancient alchemy rune appeared in his palm. In the blink of an eye, all the valuable things on Sauron's body were stolen. , in addition to the three cards in his hand, even his clothes were stolen.

A gloomy wind blows!

Sauron shuddered on the spot, and his body was naked.

Weapons, clothes, gold coins, holy water, tools, everything on Sauron disappeared out of thin air, even the iron wooden box in his hand disappeared, leaving only three cards of Vientiane Impermanence.

wind blows.

Cool ass!
