Chapter 542 Kill 10 to break even, kill more and earn more
Relying on Dolan's "earth listening" ability and the guidance of the real-time map, it took some effort to find the "storage area" in the excavation site.
It was a cave that was dug out separately.
When he went in, Bacon was immediately happy.
"Good, good!"
"We're rich! Friends!"
These barbarian dwarves never considered the possibility that someone might touch the storage area, so there was no protection here, and all kinds of sundries and seized items were piled directly on the ground.
Not only were there Bacon's weapons, materials, and sundries.
There were also things from other victims in the past, which were piled up in the room.
Adventurers often used swords, shields, meat knives, crutches, water bags, backpacks, straps, and many other messy outdoor survival items.
Sam even found three sets of iron light armor prepared for human body types, and 5 magic scrolls of unknown effects.
Just one set of armor, if taken back to the Kingdom of Reyak and sold, would be worth at least dozens of silver coins.
"No wonder the Glorious God Cult has to fight against cult organizations every day. This is really profitable!"
The cultists sacrificed people, and their belongings would not disappear with them. They could not sell the stolen goods frequently, so the things were piled up here, and now almost all of them were cheap for Bacon and his team.
After taking back the weapons and various prepared materials, Bacon's combat power was successfully restored. He simply squatted in the cave, using local materials to make traps by hand.
"This is the simplest and most basic lasso trap. Throw it on the ground and cover it with some soil or something to camouflage it."
"Once it is triggered by someone, it will automatically tie the person up tightly, making it easier for us to beat him up later."
"Aha! Look what I found? The poison dart frog venom bottle, this is a good thing!"
While searching in the sundries, Bacon's eyes suddenly lit up and he said in surprise.
"I wanted to buy this before I set out, but it was in short supply in the Dawn City area and I couldn't buy it because it was out of stock."
Poison dart frogs mainly live in the tropical jungle at the southern end of the continent.
As the name implies, it stores a kind of venom in its body, which is normally used to dip on arrows, making the arrows have a neurotoxin effect.
Using it as a material and adding it to the lasso trap with the magic of the wilderness can make the trap have the effect of "nerve paralysis".
"The paralysis lasso trap, after being triggered, will ensure that the target cannot move for about 3 seconds, and can't even speak!"
"In this way, there is no need to worry about them shouting and attracting the attention of others!"
At this point, Bacon smacked his lips with some regret.
"I wish I were a level 3 ranger now. If there is [Realm of Silence], it will definitely be more suitable for us to ambush and sneak attack."
Any career route will undergo a certain degree of qualitative change after being promoted to level 3.
The [Realm of Silence] of the magic of the wilderness was originally an auxiliary means for lurking in the wild and approaching prey. All "sounds" within the range of action will be forced to be muted. As its name suggests, this area will become silent.
Rangers don't need to worry about their breathing, heartbeat, footsteps and other movements being detected by the prey.
They can approach the right position without being noticed and start hunting.
This trick is even more effective for ambushes.
The victim will be deprived of the opportunity to shout for help.
Bacon's father, Baron Qinar, knows this wilderness magic. As for Bacon, he is still a little naive, and now he can only make do with the [Paralysis Lasso Trap].
"You must be quick, accurate and ruthless."
"From the time the trap is triggered, kill him in 3 seconds!"
...
A death scythe appeared silently in the intricate excavation site.
With [Real-time Navigation] to confirm the location, there is no fear of getting lost. After Bacon and his team are ready, they will take the initiative to attack! The brainwashed barbarian dwarves are digging deeper under the leadership of the cultists.
The cultists knew that there was something they wanted deep underground, but they didn't know exactly where it was. Therefore, they divided dozens of dwarves responsible for digging into a large number of groups and asked them to dig in different directions to improve efficiency.
The dug tunnels did not need to be particularly spacious, after all, they were just to find the location of the target.
Moreover, these tunnels were not straight and close, and often when encountering large rocks, the dwarves had to slightly adjust their direction of advance.
This made the newly opened tunnels generally twisted and crooked, and it was difficult to find the situation inside if they did not go deep all the way.
This just gave Bacon and his team the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
Dolan first inquired about the situation and confirmed the number of wild pickaxe dwarves inside.
Usually, there were only 3 to 4 dwarves in a tunnel.
Two people were responsible for digging;
One person was responsible for moving the excavated gravel and soil onto the cart;
The last person sent the cart full of these things away and piled them in a suitable place.
Bury a [Paralysis Lasso Trap] on the way the cart must pass.
When a grimy, dirty barbarian dwarf passed by, he was unable to move due to the neurotoxin and his eyes rolled back. Lancelot rushed out from the corner where he was hiding and strangled the other's throat with his big, thick palm!
"Ugh! Ugh!!!"
The dwarf looked fierce and struggled desperately under the suppression of Lancelot's "ruthless iron hand", trying to resist.
Dolan supported him from the side and decisively raised his short spear and stabbed the other's heart!
He found this sharp short spear in the place where the cultists stored the spoils they had captured. It looked like a dwarven weapon, made of fine iron and extremely powerful.
This thing was much stronger than Doran's homemade dagger. It penetrated the dwarf's skin and muscles almost without any hindrance and hit the heart.
The words [Instant Death] popped up.
Killed in one blow.
[Eliminate the evil god's followers! ]
[Destiny Points +6]
[Legendary Experience +127]
Sam neatly stuffed the body into a cart full of gravel and soil to hide the body.
"Woohoo! Comfortable!"
After confirming the target's death, Doran exclaimed happily.
The "reward" that the cultists could provide them was quite generous.
Even if it was just an ordinary wild pickaxe dwarf with the strength of a level 1 warrior, Doran could earn three-digit legendary experience after four people shared it equally.
At this efficiency, if they could kill all the cultists in the excavation site, he might be able to rush straight to level 3!
Although they can't compare with those geniuses favored by the gods, they may start at level 3 when they just get the blessing, while Dolan has to start from ordinary people and slowly climb up.
But this is a stable enough promotion path that allows him to see the progress!
What kind of crazy cultists are in front of them?
They are clearly stepping stones for them to become stronger quickly!
"Hurry up! There are three more inside!"
Lancelot also urged impatiently:
"Before they find us leaving the stone chamber, we will earn as much as we can kill!"
"Killing 10 will almost break even, the more we kill, the more we earn!"
...
