Chapter 85: Dark Cave
Three months ago, a young man full of ideals was still a small town in the suburbs of Jiyu City. He enlisted in the army at the age of 18 and performed well in the training of recruits, and was promoted by the leader of the City Lord's Mansion Defense Brigade. He carried a long spear and became a glorious captain of the City Lord's Mansion Military Guards, and he officially entered the ranks of "urban management".
The devil's cruelty and bloodthirsty killing once shocked him, who was just a gray and silver elite, and the magical priest's manner of facing the devil also made him secretly break the center; now he chased the demon and cleared out the pirate gang that caused disaster to the rain. This is his first battle in the army.
He felt that he had to seize this opportunity and start a legendary career of kings, princes, generals and ministers.
Which girl is not in love with spring, and which boy has no ideals? Any ambition with principle is worthy of encouragement and affirmation. As the saying goes, a cook who does not want to be a doctor is not a good driver; young people are a little irritable and eager for quick success and instant benefits, which are understandable.
"Captain!" A spearman's footsteps shook the boat, "There is something on the island!" "What?" Timo's eyes lit up, "Is it a lord sending a signal?!" "No!" The spearman pointed to the high tower on the island, "The magic lamp on the tower has not moved for a long time."
He pondered, looked at the five or six small boats around him full of spears, archers, and waved his hand: "Go to the island! Be careful to hide, and be sure to ensure the safety of the adults!" "Yes!"
Five small boats carried more than 30 ordinary NPC soldiers of level 55, rushed towards the island in the deep night; in the rugged reefs, agile figures took advantage of the darkness of the thin clouds covering the moon and touched the flames not far away...
Squatting dejectedly in the hut five meters square, I looked up and saw an extremely huge "chip". The top was the huge "magic spotlight", but it didn't turn the lever below without moving it.
More than ten wooden boxes were placed in the corner of the hut, and after opening it, they were all colorful magic crystals. These crystals are the "electricity" on the Dawn Continent and are the source of power for these magical instruments.
High-purity crystals can be embedded in weapons and add equipment attributes to the armor, which is the gem in the player's mouth.
But the handful of magic crystals in front of me were either marked with inferior magic crystals or waste products after using magic power. The system did not have words to pick up, and Wang Xiao also knew that these stones had no value to collect.
While sighing at himself for his miserable fate and a tragic life, Norton, who was rummaging through the cabinets, found something and shouted: "Sir! There is a hole here!"
Cave? Wang Xiaofeng's eyes lit up and he went over to help the knight move two wooden boxes. A narrow hole that only allows one person to pass appeared in front of him.
There was a faint sound of wind whistling from the cave, as if there were other outlets, forming air convection.
The online game industry has the eight-character proverb that "don't enter the forest, but you must explore the cave when you encounter a cave". The game system cannot place a cave dug by hand for no reason, and it must have special functions and significance.
Pirate's refrigerator? Uh, treasure house...
Without words, Norton, who had established some tacit understanding with the Apocalypse, took off a torch from the surrounding walls, and walked in front of him with a spear in his back. Wang Xiaofeng followed closely, putting the magic learning notes in front of him, and the life-saving skills were ready at any time.
The dark cave, the wet underground, the crackling sound of torches on both walls responded to the dripping sound of water, playing a quiet song, making the two people who bent down and walked in the cave feel uneasy.
The winding and twists and turns, like a natural cave that exists simply is processed, with some rotten long wood pressing against the top of the cave, as if it will be bent in the next second, and will bury the two of them in this pirate island forever.
He walked in the stone cave with his waist down for about ten minutes. His vision suddenly widened, and a wide space like a stone hall appeared in front of the two of them.
Wooden boxes piled into hills in a corner of the cave, and some exposed gaps revealed a golden dark light. With a raised eyebrows, Wang Xiaofeng quickly walked forward and lifted the somewhat wet wooden board of a wooden box. The entire stone cave shone golden, causing a comrade's eyes to hurt slightly.
gold!
Wang Xiaofeng twisted his thighs and took a breath of cold air. No matter how big gold is placed in front of anyone, there will be a moment of restlessness. Even the Knight of Light, who has always praised glory and justice, almost couldn't take out the torch in his hand, let alone Wang Xiaofeng, who always wants to make a fortune and achieve prosperity.
Pirates’ treasure: This is the wealth accumulated by the pirate gangs who have been rampant at sea for more than ten years. Gru was worried that the pirates under his command would steal, so he turned Huang Finance into a whole piece.
Whole piece?
Wang Xiaofeng looked closely and found that it was indeed a piece of gold filled with three feet square wooden box. The two looked at each other, and Norton handed the torch in his hand to Wang Xiaofeng, leaned over and hugged the wooden box and exerted force. His face turned red when he gritted his teeth, but he could not move the wooden box at all.
"I'll do it!" A comrade obviously ignored his professional characteristics, pulled out his bow stance, rolled up his sleeves and lay down...
After a while, the two figures leaned against wooden boxes piled into hills, sighing at the helplessness of the world with breathlessness.
"Oh, Huang Bai is something outside of his body!" A comrade sighed. If he couldn't move, he could not put it in his backpack. He had a simple and clear weight-bearing setting. "Forget it, the wealth that comes from behind is not ours after all. It's better to load it on a big ship and transport it back to Jiyu City."
However, if the soldiers discovered this, the gold would probably be marked with the words "Jiyu City Lord". Wang Xiaofeng's heart moved and said again: "It's not bad to allocate it to the common people who were robbed by pirates."
Norton looked at Comrade Xiaofeng with a little surprise, and for some reason his eyes were filled with strange feelings. He stood up and bowed slightly to Wang Xiaofeng and performed a knightly manners.
The stone hall seemed to be just to place these golds. A dark hole was placed on the other side, which seemed to have a deeper extension. Standing up, Wang Xiaofeng looked at several dark corners of the stone hall, "Look around and see if there is anything else."
Norton nodded and held the torch toward a corner. Wang Xiaofeng also took a few steps casually and saw a square altar in a corner.
The torch was slightly raised forward, and an oil painting was presented on the altar one meter square. A heroic man stood on the reef and looked ahead. Behind him, there seemed to be a devastated city wall after the fire was washed away, as if he had experienced a tragic war.
As my eyes narrowed, the offerings placed on the square table were very rich, fresh fruits, exquisite pastries, and slightly withered yellow flowers representing the remembrance of the deceased. A bowl of delicious fish soup was filled with a faint fragrance, and nothing seemed to be strange.
Wait...fish soup?
Fish soup is used as offerings? The pirates are poor and can only offer fish soup? Are pirates poor? The pile of gold in a hill behind them seems to be silently sarcastic to his thoughts. The torch moved slightly down, and in the light of the fire, a trace on the edge of the porcelain bowl was clearly seen, and a little heat gently floated on the fish soup.
Clues are often some tips given by the system. Wang Xiaofeng gently closed his eyes and held his breath, and a slight sound flowed into his ears.
The crackling sound of tinder burning, the messy sound of Norton rummaging through the cabinet, the deliberate breathing, the rapid heartbeat...
Slowly squatted down, the altar was more than one meter high, and the fire was shining on the empty table bottom, but a comrade who was skilled in concealing smiled slightly, holding a torch and a staff in his right hand, and holding a notebook in his left hand swaying slightly in front of the fire.
No shadows!
With his hand, his fingertips seemed to touch the entity, which seemed to be the texture of the thief's leather armor, but it also looked like a loose curtain, just a layer of tangible and colorless cover. He slowly hooked open the invisible "cloth block", and his bright big eyes attracted his gaze.
What was hidden in her eyes? A little frightened, a little worried, a faint numbness, crystal clear in her eyes, and tears still not dry... Her fingers moved slightly, pulling the curtain that seemed to have an invisible effect a little further, letting the dirty little face reflected in the light of the fire.
In her arms was a pale young man who seemed to endure great pain. He bit her arm in a coma, and a little blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, revealing a little shrill and bright.
The system prompt sounded in my ears. When I saw this young man again, the completion degree of the task of [Devil Trace] increased by 40%; and the remaining 30% of the completion degree should be to send the young man with only a trace of blood on his head to Satan's arms.
The C-level high-difficulty mission was completed like this. But if Wang Xiaofeng had not found something strange from a bowl of fish soup, even if he killed the pirate leader, he might not be able to find the corner under the altar. In particular, countless gold attracted the mind, and the invisible curtain covered his body...
"Norton..."
A little despair and silence appeared in the girl's eyes. Wang Xiaofeng felt his chest was stuffy for some reason, and Norton over there came over with a wooden box when he heard this.
"Sir, I found some documents." "Oh?" The torch was raised, and Wang Xiaofeng's figure stood up, "What?" "It's the accounts obtained by pirates every time they robbed. A group of pirates actually made accounts. It's really..."
"Haha," Wang Xiaofeng smiled, "Pirates are also organized and disciplined criminal gangs. Let's go, let's go ahead and take a look."
Norton nodded, took the torch and handed over the small wooden box. Wang Xiaofeng directly received it in his backpack but was too lazy to take a look.
The dark stone cave extends to somewhere, but it is still a narrow cave that only allows one person to pass through; before stepping into the darkness, Wang Xiaofeng looked at the direction of the altar and could see a pair of bright big eyes flowing with some inexplicable details...
"Norton, do you have any younger brothers and sisters?" "I have a young girl in my family, why would the adults suddenly ask about this?" "It's okay, just ask." Wang Xiaofeng's face showed a little warmth, "I also have a younger sister, and I am preparing for the college entrance examination now." "College entrance examination?" "Oh, it's the advanced examination of the Guangming Sacrifice! Cough, there is light in front, let's put out the torch."
Norton sighed and couldn't help but envy a certain comrade. Even his sister has achieved such a high achievement in the advanced examination of the Light Sacrifice. He is indeed the favorite of God...
The light in front is not the moonlight, but the white light of the magic lamp. The magic lamp also has quality and ‘power’. Magic lamps that consume more magic crystals but can release bright white light are high-end products of noble luxury goods.
The light shone in from the top of the stone wall and the ground. When I looked closer, I saw a wooden fence. The stone cave in front was blocked by soil and stone. This "well mouth" should be the way out for the stone cave.
On tiptoe, he could just stick his face in the gap. It seemed to be a gorgeously decorated hall on it. The magic lamp was lit alone but there was no figure. The wooden board was easily pushed away. After jumping up, the Knight of Light jumped up and glanced at it, then pulled up a weak climbing dad.
Chapter completed!
