As they walked down the stairs, Li Huailin felt that something was wrong. "Isn't this underground space a little too big? I thought it was a basement. Why does it feel like an underground palace?"
"Isn't that perfect? The stranger it is, the more secrets there are," Gilbert said.
After walking for about five minutes, the two reached the bottom of the stairs. It was still pitch-black in front of them, and they couldn't see anything clearly. Gilbert walked to the side and saw an unfinished candle on the wall. He casually lit it with a torch. The faint light from the candle slightly illuminated the situation in front of them. The stone path, stone walls, and stone ceiling were indeed man-made, but it felt very stifling. The tunnel in front of them seemed to have no end. There seemed to be some black mist-like things floating in the air, which further restricted their vision.
"Finally, there are monsters …" There were a few statue-like things standing in front of them. However, as they had already seen the Dark Combat Puppets, they both knew that they were monsters. From their appearance, these things seemed to be stronger than the Dark Combat Puppets. They were also larger in size. However, as no one had approached them to activate them, they weren't considered monsters yet. Li Huailin couldn't see their names and values.
"It feels like a secret dungeon," Li Huailin, who had some experience, said. However, he wasn't too sure.
"Let's go and try it out first," Gilbert said as he rushed towards the nearest monster.
As soon as he got closer, the monster on the opposite side activated. Its whole body made clicking sounds as it activated. It was probably because no one had come here for a long time. The statue was covered in dust. Once it was activated, it would fly everywhere.
Demonized Combat Puppet: Level?? HP?? Physical Attack?? Physical Defense??
Li Huailin used Detect to check. As expected, he couldn't see anything. He could barely see the Level-32 Dark Combat Puppet upstairs. This thing was obviously stronger than the one upstairs, so it was normal that he couldn't see it.
Clang! Before Li Huailin could finish his thought, the Demonized Combat Puppet on the other side turned into a pile of scrap metal.
"Hey, what did you do?" Li Huailin asked Gilbert.
"I didn't do anything. I just slashed once, and this guy fell apart." Gilbert couldn't react in time. He thought that it was something powerful, but it fell with one slash.
"Isn't your attack power a little too high?" Li Huailin said, "No matter how I look at it, this guy is stronger than the puppet upstairs. I'm guessing it has around 1500 HP. How did he manage to kill it in one hit?"
"I … I don't know either …" Gilbert scratched his head.
"Are you cheating? That's the policeman. Hurry up and take him away," Li Huailin said.
"I don't know what's going on either. I suddenly feel like I'm very powerful." As Gilbert spoke, he slashed at another Combat Puppet beside him, which was also instantly killed with a single slash.
"Why would you trade with a demon in your situation?" Li Huailin asked.
"Uh …" Gilbert felt a headache coming on. "I don't understand myself now, but since I'm here, let's go in and take a look."
"Alright …" Li Huailin nodded. Just as he was about to leave, Gilbert suddenly crouched down.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin asked.
"Nothing. Look, this monster dropped something," Gilbert said as he threw the item he picked up from the ground to Li Huailin.
"What is it?" Li Huailin caught it casually. As soon as he saw it, he was scared out of his wits. "F * ck! It's this damn thing again! "
He had seen the item in Li Huailin's hand before. It was the Black Core that he obtained from the Dragonoid Boss previously. If it weren't for that thing, he wouldn't have ended up in this place. Of course, Li Huailin remembered it. Now that there was a second one, how could he not be scared?
Without saying a word, Li Huailin threw the item on the ground. In the end, it really did.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was a little puzzled. Wasn't this item not tradeable and not disposable? Why did it really get thrown out? Could it be that it looked like something else? The slightly curious Li Huailin picked it up and looked at it again. In the end, it was still the same thing, but the attribute that said it couldn't be traded, discarded, or traded had disappeared.
"Eh? Why isn't your predecessor as obedient as you? "Li Huailin asked as he held the item.
"What's wrong with you?" Gilbert asked curiously when he saw Li Huailin's reaction.
"It's nothing. Next time, don't throw everything at me. You almost killed me," Li Huailin said.
"Eh? Really? "Gilbert took the Black Core from Li Huailin's hand and looked at it." Is this thing harmful? Why can't I feel it? What is this? "
"I don't know what this thing is, but … Huh?" Speaking of this, Li Huailin suddenly remembered where he had heard about the ruins of Fagasta. He opened his quest list, and sure enough, there was a quest to find the unused Black Core in the ruins of Fagasta. It was the quest that the bastard Mike Colt gave him. Before he left, he also mentioned it to Li Huailin once. Only then did Li Huailin have a little impression of the place.
"What's wrong?" Gilbert asked curiously as he looked at the surprised Li Huailin.
"This is an engineering item. I remember now. I heard that this ruins of Fagasta should be the former laboratory of a dark engineer." Li Huailin barely remembered something that Mike Colt had said.
"An engineer of the dark side?" Gilbert nodded. "It does look like it. The guards here also seem to be the work of an engineer. I was a little concerned just now."
"But I don't know the specifics." Li Huailin really didn't care about this quest. He didn't want to do it in the first place, but in the end, he was inexplicably teleported here. It was good enough that he could remember the details of the quest.
"It seems that this underground palace has something to do with Demons," Gilbert said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who it's related to. As long as it can help our bandit group now, I don't care where it comes from."
"Race doesn't mean glory. People shouldn't make rash judgments about their different existences," Li Huailin nodded. "There's no good or bad in terms of power. You're right."
"I didn't think that much. Anyway, let's go down and have a look first," Gilbert said with a smile.
It would be best if there was someone to help him fight the monsters. It wasn't that Li Huailin couldn't beat the monsters, but he really didn't want to lose experience. He was now level 27, about 70,000 experience points, and he still had more than 130,000 to level up. However, in the past two days, his experience had been deducted, and he had already lost 10,000. This gave Li Huailin a headache, and he hadn't found a good solution yet.
"Wait." Li Huailin, who was thinking as he walked, was suddenly stopped by Jim Potter.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Huailin snapped out of his thoughts and looked around. There was no monster. He thought that Gilbert had seen a boss, so he called out to him. In the end, there was nothing.
"On the ground," Gilbert said, pointing to the ground in front of Li Huailin.
"Hmm?" Li Huailin lowered his head and shone the torch on the ground. He found that the floor in front of him was actually protruding out. "This is … a trap?"
"Looks like it." Gilbert nodded beside him.
"This is a little too obvious." Li Huailin looked at the protruding brick on the ground. No matter how he looked at it, it was a little strange. Couldn't a trap be stepped on and fall in? Why did it have to protrude out?
"In any case, it looks like a trap," Gilbert said.
"It's been in disrepair for a long time. Maybe it's protruding because of the weeds growing underneath," Li Huailin said.
"That's possible, but it's better to be careful." Gilbert waved his hand. "Alright, don't worry about it. Let's continue."
"Wait … wait …" Li Huailin stopped and said, "Since it's already here, it's not good to ignore it."
"Huh? What's not good about that? "Gilbert said curiously.
"Don't you think that if there's something on the ground, you'd want to step on it to see what would happen?" Li Huailin said.
"No, it looks like a trap, so I won't step on it. What's so strange about that?" Gilbert asked.
"Why don't I step on it and try?" Li Huailin said.
"What kind of hobby is this? This is too suspicious. What if you step on it and dozens of flying arrows come out? Wouldn't that be terrible?" Gilbert said.
"What if a big treasure chest appears when you step on it? Wouldn't that be great?" Li Huailin said.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible," Gilbert said. "This must be a trap."
"I think it's a treasure chest," Li Huailin said.
"Nonsense, how could there be such a treasure chest?" Gilbert couldn't understand.
"Then I'll try to step on it." Li Huailin lifted his foot after saying that.
"Hey, hey, don't look for trouble." Before Gilbert could finish speaking, Li Huailin had already stepped on it. Then, they heard the sound of a mechanism clicking.
"Bang!" Suddenly, a wooden box fell right in front of the two of them.
Gilbert: "…"
Li Huailin: "…"
"This is impossible!" Gilbert said, his face full of shock.
"F * ck, a treasure chest really fell. It's blinding my dog eyes." Li Huailin didn't expect this at all.
"Isn't that a treasure chest? Why are you so shocked?" Gilbert said.
"Hey, hey, how can I not be surprised that a treasure chest fell when I stepped on such an obvious trap?" Li Huailin said.
"So what was your goal in stepping on it in the first place?" Gilbert said.
"I …" Li Huailin was just about to say something when he suddenly heard a cracking sound coming from the wall beside him. He turned his head and saw that the wall on his right was slowly opening.
"What now?" It was very dark inside the wall, and Li Huailin couldn't see anything. Just as he was about to take a closer look, a huge log suddenly flew out of the wall and smashed directly at Li Huailin's face.
With a loud bang, Li Huailin, who had been hit in the face, was sent flying.
