Chapter 12 Exploring the Ruins (End of Volume)(1/2)
Tick! Tick!
Water droplets fell from the cracks on the top of the cave to the small pits that had been smashed over time on the ground, and then flowed away along the cracks on the ground, so there was no water accumulation in the entire underground corridor except for the humid air.
Huh! Huh!
John was very cautious and did not act immediately. Instead, he raised his sword and threw out several battle air groups. This was the most basic application of battle air and had no technical content. The purpose was to see if there were any mechanisms in the corridor.
Bang bang bang bang...
The battle air mass hit the corridor wall, and then exploded on the top of the cave and the ground, blowing down some gravel.
"There should be no agency."
Having said that, John, who began to walk into the corridor, still looked cautious. Parr followed behind very carefully, staring at his big eyes that emitted glimmers, and he had already opened his low-level elemental vision.
Everything was normal wherever he saw it, which made Pal feel relieved, for fear of a lightning laser suddenly appearing. You must know that this is the magician’s private research institute!
It is possible that there is no mechanism at all, or because time has passed, the mechanism has failed, so John and Parr walked all the way and arrived safely at the end of the underground corridor and saw a lapis lazuli stone door.
"careful!"
Suddenly, John stopped, he did not say the reason, but Parr had seen the reason. In his low-level elemental vision, a glimmer of light was emitting from the stone door at the end of the underground corridor, flashing at an unusually regular speed, with magic on it.
It was precisely because John stopped seeing this that as a bronze knight, he could still feel a little elemental breath.
“Back.”
Standing there and thinking for a while, John took Parr back, then raised the dark Knight's one-handed sword in his hand.
"Blood Moon Slash!"
John's common skills reappeared, and the blood-colored crescent moon shot out from the blade and flew over a short distance and slashed on the lapis lazuli stone gate.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound, and when Parr looked at him again, he found that the glimmer of light flashing on the stone door had disappeared.
"It's all right, it's just a broken defensive magic circle."
John stepped forward again, but did not push open the stone door, but raised his hand to touch the stone door that had been cut with a crack. Then he carefully observed the crack. Finally, he smiled on his face and pointed at the stone door and said to Parr:
"Little one, come and take a look. This is not ordinary lapis lazuli, this is lapis lazuli."
"Lanjin?"
The first time Parr heard this thing, he went up and looked carefully, and found that the lapis lazuli on the surface of the stone gate was indeed richer than the lapis lazuli. By observing from the crack, you can find that the surface of the stone gate was covered with a layer of metal similar to lazuli, which should be lapis lazuli.
Sure enough, John explained while using his sword to peel off the lapis lazuli from the stone door:
"Lapis lazuli, the companion metal of lapis lazuli, is very rare. It is a material for forging spiritual tools. Adding it to a weapon can also increase the toughness of the weapon, which is very valuable."
"Spiritual utensils?"
Parr learned a new word from John, and he didn't understand, but he could ask.
"Uncle John, what are spiritual tools?"
"Automatic instruments with special effects."
John explained casually and gave an example.
"Just like the translucent shield we met before, it is a kind of lowest spiritual tool with a variety of carriers and consumables, and will not recover after being broken."
"Oh! So that's how it is!"
Parr nodded, saying that he understood, isn’t this an enchanting prop? An instrument with special effects…
As he thought about it, Parr couldn't help but look down at the black short sword. This sword is so magical, it should be a spiritual tool, right?
...
Brush brush...
John quickly stripped off a layer of lapis lazuli from the stone door and threw it to Parr.
"Huh? This is actually soft!"
Parr pinched only an apple-sized lapis lazuli in his hand, and was surprised to find that the metal was very soft. No wonder John just now made it effortlessly.
"Should it be fine, with this, we won't lose money this time."
John smiled and turned around and told Pal, then turned around, took a deep breath, reached out and gently pushed open the stone door.
Klala klala...
It was a bit difficult to push, but this was not a problem for John, who was a bronze-level knight, and he felt a strong fighting spirit on his body, and he pushed the stone door open a gap with ease.
call……
In an instant, a stream of turbid air came over. John hurriedly pulled Pal back a few steps, and waited for the turbid air inside to emptiate before he stepped forward again and pushed open the stone door with a rush.
Click! Bang!
Then, a space of 100 square meters appeared in front of John and Parr.
"What is that?"
Parr was immediately attracted by some luminous objects on the ground.
Those luminous objects were soft, round, and of all colors, at least hundreds of them were slowly squirming on the ground.
"Slime, it's Slime."
Seeing that there was no danger, John stepped forward and pinched one and threw it at Parr, explaining with a smile:
"Slime, a pestless creature that appears in a rich environment of elements, has no wisdom."
"Slime!"
Parr took the slime the size of a palm, which was the smallest one in it. He looked around and looked at the creature like a water ball and came to a conclusion. Isn’t this the little monster that often appeared in fantasy games in his previous life? It was such a coincidence that he didn’t expect that there would be one in this other world.
“Huh?”
As he looked, Parr discovered something was wrong, that was, the slime in his hand was getting smaller.
"Uncle John, what's going on?"
"This place was a closed environment before, because of these magic crystals, the concentration of elements here is very high, but now it has been broken by me, so..."
John was watching the underground space with a luminous crystal held up. He heard Parr’s question and pointed to some translucent crystals embedded in the wall, those were magic crystals whose energy had been exhausted.
"The elemental concentration has dropped, so is the slime going to die?"
Parr pinched the little guy in his hand, and in this short period of time, the slime as big as a palm had turned into a piece of skin, like rubber.
"This creature is like this, don't be sad."
John grabbed the Slimepi in Parr's hand and threw it into his mouth, chewing it, like chewing gum.
Parr: "…"
Wouldn't eating randomly damage your stomach?
As if he understood Parr's gaze, John explained while chewing:
"It's delicious. Slime is a potion ingredient. It refreshes your mind and eliminates fatigue. The different colors have different flavors. I like to eat blue and purple. One is as refreshing as eating ice cubes! It also has a hint of sweetness, and the other is numb and numb, and it's so terrible!"
"The taste is different? It's crispy and numb?"
Parr's big black eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Uncle John, is Slimepi spicy?"
"have."
John nodded, then bent down and grabbed a crawling red slime and threw it to Parr.
"Just this red one tastes hot and hot, and the mouth is like it is burnt, and it is not delicious at all."
"Hehehe..."
Without caring about John's comment, Parr smiled while holding the red slime with a little warmth. Don't laugh so happily. He found it, and he finally found it! Spicy rabbit, hehe...
...
After Slime's episode, Parr followed John and searched for the underground space. The two of them first pried off the magic crystal without energy on the wall. This thing can be sold for money even if it has no energy.
Then the two began to search inch by inch the slightly empty place. There was nothing else on the ground except Slime. A long stone platform, a chair, a bookshelves, and a wooden bed were placed around the walls.
After skimming the decayed wooden bed and confirming that there was nothing else on the ground, John brought Parr to the bookshelf. Due to time constraints, the wooden bookshelf was on the verge of collapse, not to mention the books on it, which looked decayed and disintegrated as soon as it touched, and only a book with yellow skin looked like it could be touched.
John observed for a while, then reached out to take down the yellow book, carefully lifted it up and looked at the pages, and suddenly narrowed his eyes, curled the corners of his mouth, and a wretched smile appeared on his face.
"I didn't expect it! It turned out that magicians from thousands of years ago also liked to watch this kind of thing, but it was a collection of illustrations! No wonder they were recorded with the skin of the monster! Hiss... It was so exciting, sucking!"
The Fenglang text is the abbreviation of common texts in mainland China a thousand years ago, so John could understand what was written in the book.
“…”
Parr originally wanted to ask what book it was! When he saw John's expression and movement, he realized it instantly! Then he moved to the side, indicating that his pure self and the vulgar John had no relationship with him.
"Ahem."
John also realized that he had lost his composure. He coughed awkwardly, put the yellow books in his arms without a trace, and then walked towards the stone platform seriously, which was the last place where there was no search.
