Chapter 20: You will regret not having enough money when you need it

Although Luger has been to this cave, the feeling of lingering at the entrance is completely different from exploring the depths of the cave.

Cough, cough, don't think too much, I don't mean anything else...

In short, compared with the monotony and dryness of the cave entrance, the depths of the cave are really winding and secluded...

Cough, slow down.

In short, the cave is not only complicated and maze-like, but also dark except for the torches in the monster gathering area.

If it were an ordinary person, not to mention being caught by monsters, the cold and damp environment alone would take half of his life.

Even Luger, whose physical strength has reached 6 points, can only survive with heavy protective clothing with heat insulation function.

As for the unclear road caused by the darkness itself, it is not a big problem under the low-light night vision goggles.

Well, Luger's original game character has tactical goggles and noise-canceling earplugs, so it is not very normal to have a night vision goggles.

In contrast, although Tia added three pieces of armor in addition to the simple training suit, they were only breastplate, arm armor and shin armor.

And according to the actual needs of her fighting style, only the arm armor was made of metal, and the rest were leather armor.

This set of combat suits does have a certain degree of ultra-close combat protection while greatly ensuring flexibility,

but it is definitely not warm.

However, compared with Ruger, who still had to tighten his collar, Tia, who was leading the way, did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Needless to say, this is another effect of the abnormal physique of the Nephalem.

Ruger was more than envious of this, he felt that he had missed a hundred million.

And this was just the beginning, and his feeling would only become stronger later.

He had seen the monsters in the cave before. In addition to the common zombie fallen demons, there were also fallen magicians who could cast fireballs.

In the original game, these fallen magicians could also revive those fallen demons with intact bodies.

But Ruger has not seen it yet.

In addition, for some reason, there seemed to be no spiny rats that could shoot thorn arrows in the cave.

It is the hard-haired rat.

But there is another demonized beast, which is huge and strong, like the legendary Bigfoot or the Himalayan Yeti.

These gray fur primates called giant beasts are powerful monsters just by looking at their appearance.

But what Luger didn't expect was that they were not slow in action.

The most unbearable thing is that these guys have a very sensitive sense of smell.

Several times, because the gaps between the monster patrols were too narrow, the two had to seize the short opportunity to risk crossing the gaps.

Luger, who was following behind, was only half a beat slower, and was almost smelled by the thing that came back from patrol.

After all, the magic shadow cloak can cover the body, but it can't cover the smell.

If Tia hadn't sprinkled the odor-repelling potion under his feet in time, I'm afraid the adventure of the two would have ended.

When this happened, Tia was still comforting Luger at first, signaling him to pay attention next time.

As a result, after a few more times, she found something wrong.

In fact, the reason is also simple. Tia made the action plan according to the abilities of her teammates.

For those nephalems, the gaps that can be easily rushed through are just... for Ruger.

Nephalem template, why didn't I draw that one?

Just when Ruger was frustrated, Tia suddenly turned around.

"Brother Lu, the gap behind is narrower. I'm afraid I can't take care of it by spreading exorcism potions..."

What? Ruger felt bad when he heard it, thinking that he was going to be left behind?

He also knew that he didn't perform well before. If there was a potion that could be applied on the body to isolate the smell, he would definitely use it.

It's a pity that although that thing exists, it doesn't last long enough.

Otherwise, Tia only needs to apply it herself, why bother spreading potions everywhere?

In fact, as early as the first time he was dragged down, he found out where the problem was.

So looking at the remaining points, which were still quite a lot, he immediately gritted his teeth and exchanged for a bottle of agility enhancement potion.

When he found that one bottle was still not enough, he exchanged for another bottle.

But the effect was still not great.

He came back to his senses after expanding the attribute column. It was not that the attribute improvement was useless, but that he did not have enough time to digest the effect of the medicine.

[Attributes: Strength 4; Agility 5+2; Constitution: 6; Spirit 5; Intelligence 6; Perception 6]

Physique is 6 points of solidity, which means that the effect of the medicine has been completely absorbed.

But Agility is 5 solid and 2 illusory, and the medicine has not had time to digest.

Looking at this, I am afraid that it will not be digested well for a while.

Is it really that I can only give up?

This is the first time that Ruger has been so unwilling since crossing!

However, just as he was waiting for Tia with a bitter face to let him return first, she said something completely different.

"... Or, I will teach you another trick?"

Huh? Not persuading to return, but teaching?

There is such a good thing?

Of course I agreed!

Seeing him nod, Tia did not waste time and immediately demonstrated to him in a relatively large shadow area.

Soon, Ruger understood what she wanted to teach.

Simply put, it is a technique to instantly increase speed.

Including movement speed and action speed.

Indeed, if Luger mastered this technique, he would not be caught next time he passed through a narrow gap.

And in Tia's words, since Luger can learn [Magic Shadow Cloak], he can also learn this one of the same origin.

She was right, because just after Ruger practiced for a while, the system popped up the prompt again:

[It is detected that the host's proficiency in the special skill learned by himself has reached the standard. Do you want to spend 80 points to solidify it? ]

This is really...

The prompt is late but it has arrived?

Not only has it arrived, but the price has actually dropped a lot compared to the last time of 120, and only 80 points are required.

But the problem is that Ruger can't even take out 80 points now.

The two injections of agility enhancement potions, plus the physical and energy replenishment potions along the way, all cost a lot.

Anyway, the points he got by blocking people's doors before were spent.

In this way, the "miracle" of being able to release the full version of the skill suddenly after learning it has never appeared again.

In the end, Tia could only say with regret, "It's okay, Brother Ruger, it doesn't matter if you don't master it completely, it should be enough now."

That being said, Ruger looked at the agility in the attribute panel that changed from 5+2 to 6+1, and he was a little confused.

Did he learn that skill, or did he digest the agility enhancement potion?

It's really hard to say.

But in terms of the effect, it's pretty good.

At least after that, no matter how narrow the gap was that Tia led him through, he was never caught by the huge beast that suddenly returned.

However, this learning seemed to have a side effect. He vaguely saw a shadow running back and forth near Tia from time to time.

"What, you can see a shadow? What does it look like?" Tia was curious when she heard it.

"Oh, I can't see what it is specifically, and I can't see the outline." Ruger scratched his head,

"But the way that thing runs around is very similar to the tabby cat I raised in my hometown."
