The spoils of war made the others more active in their actions.
After disassembling the body of the high-level Construct Golem, Søren began to survey the nearby terrain. Many places had collapsed and buried. The only passage pointed to the north, which was not where Søren wanted to go. The scope of the underground ruins was very large. After all, this was a sunken city, but the places that could be explored were limited, unless a large number of people were arranged to dig out the city. Such a project was difficult even in the 21st century, so the exploration of the ruins was mainly concentrated in the core area.
"Let the workers come down."
Søren surveyed the nearby terrain, then came to a thick wall and said in a deep voice, "You should be able to enter the interior if you break through here. Let them come down with tools and dig bit by bit. You can't blow it up with gunpowder."
The light in the square was already very strong.
The torches illuminated this area, and the monsters were basically cleaned up by them.
The Oriental Dancer quickly went up and asked people to come down. After a while, dozens of workers timidly landed along the rope. They glanced at the surrounding environment, and the expressions on their faces were still very scared. But at this time, it was no longer up to them. Under the orders of the professionals, these workers began to dig the side walls. The rhythmic knocking echoed in the underground ruins, as if the vibration had disturbed something. Suddenly, there was a slight tremor in the depths of the underground ruins, and some kind of aura that penetrated the soul.
Balor (Monster Level 27)!
The Balor, sealed in the deepest part of the underground ruins, felt the vibration above, but it could not leave the range of the seal at all. The only people present who knew what was below were Søren and the Oriental Dancer, but they were wise enough not to speak, because it was better not to let others know about this kind of existence. The workers stopped in fear under the slight movement, but were soon called to work quickly again. Søren could not stay here for too long.
"There seems to be something here!" The bearded Dwarf Warrior murmured.
The Oriental Ronin glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "There must be something under this kind of place. We'd better move faster."
It took him more than an hour to do so.
They finally opened up a passageway. Unlike the plaza, the space inside was very narrow. Broken buildings supported the gaps inside, and many places only allowed one person to pass through at a time. Of course, Søren was the one leading the way. His main goal was to get the [Cloak of Proof Against Detection], so he was heading straight for the general area. This legendary equipment was stored in a special room. Its previous owner should have been a powerful professional. Now, there was a monster that was very difficult to deal with.
This monster had once wiped out the adventurers who first explored this place!
Later on.
Only then did the adventurers figure out a way to deal with it.
Since Søren was here, he naturally knew how to kill it, but he might have to pay a small price.
The rugged passage gradually widened.
This meant that Søren had entered another area. This should be the residential area of the city's nobles. Even though it was dilapidated, he could still see that the buildings here were exquisite, and there were many marble pillars nearby. The most conspicuous thing in this area was a tall house. It was one of the few buildings that was well-preserved. From the side, he could see three Steel Golems. Their surface was heavily rusted. They should be low-level Puppet Golems. Because they lost their power source, they were completely scrapped.
"Be careful!"
Søren looked around and said in a low voice, "There seems to be an undead aura here."
Hearing his words, the rest of the people present became alert.
There were indeed undead here.
But it was not an ordinary undead. Søren knew what was here before he came.
— — Ancient Mummy [Challenge Rating 18]!
Mummy.
It was a very common monster among undead creatures. Some were man-made mummies, while some were naturally formed due to certain reasons.
The desert was the most likely place for mummies to appear.
These undead creatures were not difficult to deal with. A normal adventurer team could easily kill them.
However!
If an undead creature had the word 'ancient' above its head, it would be quite difficult to deal with it.
"Ancient Mummy [High Undead] (Grade 5)."
"Challenge Rating 18, Personal Level 22, Has Spell-like Ability."
"Highest and Lowest Attributes 25, Lowest Attributes 15, Total Attribute Points 100-115."
"Special Abilities: High Undead Characteristics, Negative Energy Erosion, Spell-like Ability, Immunity to Ordinary Weapons."
"Challenge Difficulty: B +."
…
The first group of adventurers to explore this place was the Ancient Mummy. It was a powerful undead creature that was created due to a special geographical environment.
Søren looked around carefully.
He knew that there was an Ancient Mummy here, but he didn't know where it was hiding.
The group spread out and formed a defensive formation. They approached the building in front of them little by little. They didn't know where it was connected to the outside. There was a slight wind here, and there was a faint chill.
Whoosh!
A strange figure passed through the darkness in front.
Søren's spirit suddenly tensed up. He clenched his Curved Sword Icingdeath and said in a low voice, "There is a monster nearby!"
There was a faint light.
He didn't know if the Curved Sword Icingdeath sensed something, or some kind of aura stimulated it. The legendary Curved Sword's body seemed to have encountered ice and emitted a faint light.
This was the weapon's warning!
Since the legendary Curved Sword Icingdeath woke up, it seemed to have some special uses.
Extinguishing flames.
It emitted a dazzling silver light after coming into contact with sub-zero temperatures.
And when there were evil creatures nearby, it gave an early warning.
"Be careful."
The others could not help but hold their weapons nervously. Many of them glanced at Søren's Curved Sword, and some people's eyes flashed with greed for a moment. After all, the number of legendary weapons was quite rare. Søren's Curved Sword was not activated. Once it was activated, it would immediately let others know that it was a legendary weapon.
Whoosh!
The strange sound of the wind appeared again.
A shadow flashed in the darkness. The Ancient Mummy was different from other undead. Its speed was actually quite fast. When the undead reached its level, it was already a legendary monster and was no longer restricted by the mummified undead. It was even immune to the attacks of ordinary weapons. Fortunately, none of the professions present had white equipment.
"It's a Mummy!"
The Oriental Dancer reached out and picked up something from the ground. Her face changed slightly and said, "This fell from it."
A piece of wrinkled dry cloth.
She did not know how long it had been kept. There was a very unpleasant smell on it.
"It should be a high-grade Mummy!"
The Desert Warrior knew a lot about Mummies. He had probably encountered some before. He immediately said in a deep voice, "It has such speed! I'm afraid it's not so easy to deal with! "
The Mummy was not in a hurry to attack.
It seemed that its wisdom was good. It actually knew that the adventurer team in front of it was not so easy to deal with.
Søren's eyes turned, and he immediately said in a deep voice, "You stay where you are and be on guard. I'll lure it out."
— — "Evade Sight."
His figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, but he was not looking for traces of the Ancient Mummy. Instead, he quietly sneaked toward the building in front.
That was where the legendary equipment [Cloak Against Detection] was located.
Søren came here for this piece of equipment, which was undoubtedly a God-level equipment for Rogues. Now that he had found the place, it was naturally the most important thing to get it in his hands first.
Hearing Søren's words, the others immediately formed a defensive formation.
And he himself went over little by little, and then quietly sneaked into the room through the broken window. He was very clear about the memory of this place. There was a dark room in the room, and the [Cloak Against Detection] was stored in the box. However, there was a magic trap on the box. Forcibly opening it would trigger a [Disintegrate].
There was no other way.
This was a relic from the Arcane Empire. The level of the traps on it was very high. Even when Søren was at his peak, it was not easy to remove them.
But it was not completely impossible!
Knowing what kind of trap it was, it was much easier to crack it.
Creak.
A slight noise came out.
Søren quietly entered the dark room, and a lot of things suddenly appeared in front of him. There was only a piece of powder left on the bookshelf, but other well-preserved things were basically extraordinary items. Including some alchemy equipment, some unknown potions, a dark blue robe (robe), and a staff of special texture, etc. The most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly the box in the corner. This was the most valuable thing in the vicinity, and it was also the only legendary equipment.
The box had a special enchantment process.
Even after thousands of years, it was still intact.
Silver-white metal.
There were strange patterns on the surface, which were engraved magic patterns. Any forcible destruction of the box would activate the magic trap on it. This was a treasure box that was difficult to open with brute force.
The adventurer team that found it in the past had no way to remove the magic trap, so they could only let the Warriors directly break it open.
In the end, the Warrior was directly disintegrated!
— — "Disintegrate [Level 6 Spell]!"
"Disintegrate [Transmutation]: After casting this spell, a green light will be shot at the target, causing a maximum of 240 magic damage! It can directly disintegrate inanimate matter and can affect the effect of the force field. Any enemy hit by Disintegrate must go through a compulsory Test of Immunity. If they fail to pass the Test of Immunity, they may be disintegrated. If they pass, some of the damage will be reduced. "
The level of this magic trap was extremely high!
The Warrior who opened it was a high-grade Warrior, about a Profession Level 16 defensive Warrior. As a result, he was instantly disintegrated along with his equipment.
Even now, Søren did not have much confidence in resisting it.
However.
Disintegrate had a flaw, which was that it would only work on the first target it hit.
Søren basically had no way to remove this magic trap unless his Dispel Trap skill was as high as 200 points. So the only way to open this box was to use Disintegrate, or use a cross-plane method to avoid this attack.
He turned around in a circle.
Then Søren quietly moved the bookshelf a little, just enough to cover him in the shadow, and then took an alchemy crystal bottle in his hand.
1, 2, 3! …
Søren took a deep breath, swung his curved sword, and smashed it directly on the box in front of him.
"Clang!"
With a muffled sound, Søren suddenly let go of the crystal bottle in his hand, and at the same time, his figure became blurred in the shadow. The next moment, he appeared one meter away.
— — "Shadow Leap!"
A green light appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it hit the place where Søren was originally, and then the crystal bottle that he let go of was directly disintegrated, disappearing without a trace like melting snow.
"It's broken!"
There was a strange sound of wind outside, and the movement here attracted the wandering Ancient Mummies outside. Søren did not think much and directly smashed the box in front of him. Without looking at the other items, he directly picked up a black cloak and put it on himself.
[Cloak of Proof Against Detection]!
He was finally one step ahead! He got this equipment that was undoubtedly a godly item for Rogues!
Item Type: Cloak of Proof Against Detection
Item Grade: [Grade 3 Legendary Item]
Item Description: This is a legendary cloak! Anyone who wears it will not be discovered by any spells after entering the state of Stealth. It is immune to all detection spells, unless it is a creature with the natural ability to see through invisibility. Otherwise, even the incarnation of the gods would not be able to discover the person wearing it through detection spells. However, it is not omnipotent. Although this legendary cloak can make people immune to detection spells, there is no way to hide other movements in the state of Stealth.
Requirements: None.
Equipment Effect 1: Sneak + 30.
Equipment Effect 2: [Force Field of Proof Against Detection], immune to any detection spells. No enemy can use spells to break the state of Stealth of the person wearing this legendary equipment. "
…
Søren's figure disappeared into the shadows.
This legendary equipment did not have many additional abilities. In addition to the 'Force Field of Proof Against Detection', it only added an additional 30 points of Sneak.
However, this was already very useful for Søren!
After putting on this cloak, he went into Stealth again without the slightest trace, as if he had completely integrated into the darkness.
Kacha!
A slight noise was heard.
A shadow gradually approached from the outside, and the figure of the Ancient Mummy appeared outside the dark room. However, it did not find any trace of Søren. Instead, it looked around blankly.
The undead had a certain ability to detect invisibility!
However, after putting on the Cloak of Proof Against Detection, only creatures born with [True Sight] could discover Søren's trace.
