Chapter 1020: Secret Vault, Mission Completed

These "tongues" are actually energy bodies.

They are formed by the surging undead power in the skeleton monster "Jack".

Dozens of slender "tongues" completely entangled Colby in a blink of an eye.

Then it suddenly tightened and got stuck on the solid golden lion armor.

Colby was temporarily restrained because his arms were restrained.

Zong Shen was very proficient in this kind of rope binding technique in the early days. Even the dwarf uncle was tied back by him.

Once restrained, more strength is required to break free.

But this is not a forced control skill. It is not yet known how long it can restrain Colby!

Seeing the powerful man in front of him being tied up, the undead "Jack" let out a silent roar with soul fluctuations. The strong fluctuations even made the air ripple.

All the slender tongues suddenly tensed up, trying to drag Colby towards his skeletal mouth.

"Boom!"

Each tongue made a tense sound like a bowstring, but Colby remained motionless.

I saw a rare and slightly ironic smile on Colby's resolute and generous face.

"Do you have this much strength?"

"Undead, the Son of the Grassland will free you..."

He grinned, revealing his big white teeth.

Then, his strong arms suddenly flexed, and his strength attribute of nearly 3,000 points completely exploded!

Each elastic "tongue" broke and shattered in an instant. After the structure was destroyed, it returned to the dark and dissipated elemental state. At first glance, it looked like thick black smoke was floating around Colby.

In fact, various elemental energies are like proteins. The combination of different polypeptides will create proteins with different properties.

The same is true for elemental spellcasting and various elemental condensations.

Seeing that the other party broke free easily, the undead "Jack" became more and more crazy, and the weird moaning sound appeared again.

"Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!"

"eat you!"

The big skeletal mouth on its chest suddenly expanded, and the bones were riveted and deformed. Its upper body bent backwards and turned into a "big-mouthed" monster. Black energy erupted from under its body, and it rushed to Colby's side in the blink of an eye. In front of you.

The skeleton's mouth opened to its limit, as if it could swallow an elephant and swallow Colby whole.

Undead souls with no intelligence, low intelligence or chaotic will are not afraid of death at all, nor do they weigh the interests and harms.

They are more difficult to deal with than those highly intelligent undead, and they are like mad dogs when fighting against them.

However, Colby was not timid at all. As a son of the prairie, he was inherently brave and resolute. At that time, his strength was still low, and he did not take Goblins seriously. Now that he has legendary level combat power, he can fight Even more brave.

"Sacrifice to the Spirit·Guardian of the Ice Wolf!"

"Sacrifice to the Spirit: Thunder Wolf Lightning Strike Sword Technique!"

There was a call in his heart, and the blue-white frost power instantly condensed into three illusory ice wolves.

Each ice wolf followed a specific trajectory around him, forming a protective barrier.

Almost at the same time as the ice wolf condensed, his whole body "crackled", blue and yellow arcs appeared in turn, whipping and colliding with each other.

Then he turned into a fierce thunder wolf and charged at the undead "Jack" with lightning speed.

All this happened in an instant, and the two sides collided hard.

Thunder suddenly burst out, illuminating the wine cellar with chaotic light and shadow!

Several different damage values appeared from the heads of the two people.

Then there was the sound of broken bones and the sound of chopping with heavy breathing.

…

In the lobby of the Shadow Poison Assassin League branch.

Zoe had most of the Wolf Cavalry evacuate to the ground.

Only he stayed, and there were two wolf cavalry left to support him.

The fighting in the wine cellar below was very noisy, often causing the ground to shake and tremble.

Fortunately, this hall has been reinforced with runes and is strong enough to withstand higher tremor intensity.

As the hero leading this mission and an adventurer in the territory, she can allow herself to fight without force, but she will never accept her hasty evacuation.

At least she would stay here, waiting for the end of the battle.

And Zoe was not idle during this period. She always felt that there was a hidden place in this hall, so she took out a magnifying glass and carefully explored along the walls.

Unexpectedly, she discovered something was wrong.

There was the edge of the hall, and there was a muffled sound when knocking on the wall.

After repeated comparisons several times, she determined that there should be a secret room behind it.

It's just that she couldn't find the entrance, and it was not easy to break through this wall through violent means.

I'm afraid Colby is the only one on the scene who can do this.

Thinking of this, Zoe looked at the underground passage leading to the wine cellar, where hot air had been blowing out.

This caused the temperature in the hall to rise a lot, making it even more stuffy.

At this time, the hot wind below suddenly stopped, and not long after, she saw the adventurous ghost Jacques Picard floating out, followed closely by the big man Colby.

He successfully killed the undead "Jack" and found a parchment letter with a special aura mark in the wine cellar, a box of Shadow Venom Assassin recruitment scrolls, and several treasure boxes, all of which he put into storage compartments. Here, wait until you return to the territory before handing it over.

In addition to this, the undead "Jack" himself also contributed some good things.

For example, a jet black soul core, a few extremely hard bone materials, and a small head that has never disappeared.

The aura exuding from that head is very strange, and it must have another reason.

Even though Zong Shen didn't come this time, nothing was left behind that should be collected.

What kind of boss there is, there are what kind of soldiers there are.

Colby had been following Mr. Zong for a while and learned the operations of "scraping wool" and "scraping the ground."

Feeling the general experience bonus from friendly assists, Zoe naturally understood that the monster had been eliminated.

She exchanged a few words with Colby briefly, confirmed the situation, and then turned her attention to the new discoveries in the hall.

"Teacher Jacques, Lord Colby."

"Look here, you guys. I suspect there is a secret room behind the wall."

Hearing what she said, Colby took the initiative and struck several times with the back of his hand.

"Bang bang bang!"

A dull hollow sound came, but it was not obvious, after all, the rune wall was too thick.

The walls here are all made of stone bricks tens of centimeters thick, and then coated with several layers of adhesive and magic coating.

If it weren't for everyone's strength, they really wouldn't be able to make a sound.

"I'm not sure. How about breaking it and taking a look?"

Colby looked down at Zoe beside him and expressed his thoughts.

At this time, the great adventurer Ghost Jacques Picard stopped in front.

"Don't worry, let me go through the wall and have a look."

"Maybe it's just the hollow area behind the wall."

"This situation is very common in naturally buried ruins and requires further exploration to draw conclusions."

Jacques Picard said very carefully as he was experienced.

"But there is rune protection here, so the crack needs to be destroyed first."

Having said this, it looked at Colby and then at Zoe, asking for their opinions.

Zoe nodded and then raised her hand.

"I have no opinion."

Everyone looked at Colby, and he thought it made sense after thinking for a moment.

"Then leave the task of breaking the wall to me."

"It is difficult to penetrate such a thick wall at once, but there is no problem in just making a crack to destroy the protection of the runes."

He twisted his neck and his joints creaked.

Then it took out its scimitar.

The Nine Sacrifice Spirit Totem gives him the power of nine elements and various powerful skills.

Colby is no longer what he once was.

"Desolate Wolf·Destruction Slash!"

He held a machete in his hand and swung it against the wall.

Immediately, a gray-white blade shot out from the blade and shot directly at the solid rune wall.

The moment the sword light touched the wall, the rune light layer lit up, and then quickly dissipated.

"Click!"

【-5972】

…

Five to six thousand points of damage appeared.

A gap of twenty to thirty centimeters deep was left on the wall.

"It's really hard!"

Colby smiled honestly and looked at Jacques Picard.

"Teacher Jacques, do you think this is okay?"

Considering his opponent's experience and knowledge, Colby was quite polite to him.

"Okay, look at me!"

Without any delay, Jacques Picard came to the wall where the sword had been slashed, and disappeared in the next second. It appeared on the other side of the wall, with a surprised look on the ghost body's face.

Then it immediately returns to its original position.

"The vault is on the other side!"

"There is part of the commission collected by the Shadow Poison Assassin League branch!"

"Belongs to the extended area of the rune barrier."

The treasury that can make Jacques Picard look a little moved is definitely not a small amount.

And the currency in the vault is not dinars.

You must know that the dinar is a popular currency only in this era.

In the last era, the indigenous people had their own other currencies, most of which were forged with precious metal minerals.

Currency itself has original value and can be used as higher-level materials.

Colby and Zoe's eyes lit up when they heard there was something good.

When it comes to exploring ruins, when is the happiest time? Of course, it is when you discover the treasures left behind!

Next, Zoe took out the [Magic Drilling Machine], and Colby took out the black and thick [Forging Iron Pickaxe]. The two of them were ready to work together to eliminate the rune protection on this wall, and prepare here Drill a big hole.

Since the runes exist as a whole and have a certain degree of self-recovery, even if Colby can easily break through the defense, it will probably take two hours to create a gap of sufficient size.

As for Jacques Picard, he floated out and called down the Wolf Cavalry again.

If everyone works together, we can get it done quickly.

Zoe and the others have spent five or six hours since they set out in the early morning, including the time of travel and excavation, as well as the battle and exploration just now.

It was already approaching dusk outside.

…

Zong Shen led the team back to the ground in a hurry.

Before leaving the mining area, he also focused on explaining many tasks and follow-up arrangements to Dutra.

Next, the kobold chief Dutra only needs to wait for the territory to send men.

When they walked out of the mine, there was night in the distance.

Compared with Zoe who set off early in the morning, Zong Shen came in the early hours of last night.

So he spent more time, and after he came out, Zoe and the others were still digging.

Through the strategy module, Zong Shen can know the approximate exploration progress of the Shadow Poison Assassin League without sending crystal communications.

"Time flies so fast!"

He stretched, and the air outside the mine was fresh.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, it finally turned completely dark.

The thick clouds drifted away with the wind, revealing a bright moon.

The soul of Silver Moon Prince Ansel, who had been silently following Zong Shen, was finally freed.

It followed the moonlight and flew toward the sky.

"Farewell, then, to the human warriors."

"This era belongs to you."

"But... don't take it lightly..."

Ansel showed a relieved smile, which slowly dissipated as he flew towards the moon.

Zong Shen looked up at it and paid attention.

He actually knew what Ansel had warned him.

When other lords were confused and just heading towards the simple goal of expansion.

He already knew the trajectory of his destiny.

Ansel's soul was seen rising hundreds of meters into the air before completely dissipating.

A task prompt also appeared in front of him.

[Mission: Soul of Vengeance]

[Requirement: Destroy the hateful half-soul of Silver Moon Prince Ansel, prevent it from completely connecting with the life and death soul core of the Dread Lord Balnaha, and at the same time destroy Balnaha who has separated from the undead body and is transforming into a blood-burning monster. Completely clear the forbidden place, rescue the pure soul of the other half of the Silver Moon Prince, and bring its owner under the moonlight]

[Rewards: Avatar Creation Skill Book (Special) Military Book × 1, Team Experience Value Sarah mine construction permission (new) × 1]

…

More than a dozen groups of light balls representing rewards appeared out of thin air, and Zong Shen stretched out his hand to collect them uniformly.

When I was about to check and open the storage compartment for subsequent inspection.

The communication crystal on his chest lit up.

Before the [Elementary Spiritual Virtual Network] was officially established, communication in the territory was still dominated by communication crystals.

Come quickly according to the crystal number sent. This is a communication request from Mariel.

Zong Shen directly chose to connect.

"grown ups…"

"Hiss, hiss..."

Mariel's voice came, along with a continuous low noise.

This made Zong Shen's heart skip a beat, feeling that the situation was not good.

"What's wrong with Mariel?"

"Please come to the Summoning Gate Enclosure as soon as possible."

"Thousands of lords came from thousands of kilometers around today..."

Her tone was a little nervous, and it was obvious that the situation at the scene was not harmonious!

I owe you an update. I'll pay it back tomorrow.

I sorted out my notes by the way today, and I have to sort them out if I can gain anything.
