Casillas had a dice-like item in his hand. According to the setting, the number from 1 to 17 would appear when it was thrown. When a number appeared, the team or individual would come forward to crack it.
For the sake of fairness, No. 1 would start to roll the dice, No. 2 would be the second time … and so on.
The same number might appear repeatedly on this magic dice. For example, No. 1 would roll No. 3, and No. 3 must go to the front. After encountering a trap and cracking it, No. 2 would roll No. 3 again, and No. 3 must start cracking it again. Of course, it was also possible to roll their own number. Everything depended on luck.
Luck was also a kind of strength. Everyone present was a veteran with rich experience, so they naturally understood this principle.
Casillas also had a special compass, which was a bit similar to the ancient compass in Chen Rui's original world. It could avoid the interference of the strange force here and sense the place with the strongest power, but it needed to be manually adjusted and positioned.
After determining a simple forward route according to the compass, Casillas numbered everyone's team. There was a total of 17. Then, he took out a magic item and entered the 17 numbers. After everyone checked that there was no problem with the magic dice, No. 1 began to roll the dice. No. 1 was Casillas's own team. He picked up the magic dice and threw it. When it landed on the ground, a "four" symbol appeared.
No. 4 was Chen Rui's three-man team.
Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Rui's team. Many people seemed to be gloating. If these three people couldn't crack or avoid the first trap, then they must test the attributes and scope of the trap. Over the years, many people had tried to crack the traps, but the power of those traps was quite strong, and they could not be completely destroyed. They would automatically recover and change attributes. There was no way to break through.
Although the treasure was tempting, life was more important. If it wasn't for the weakening of the magic traps every three years, no one would want to die.
The magic traps were very strange. They couldn't be seen with the naked eye or perceived with abilities. To test the scope or attributes, it was not something that could be solved by throwing a stone. One had to go forward and trigger the trap personally. There was only one result — death.
Chen Rui did not expect his party's luck to be so 'good', being the first to be picked. Although Delia ignored Lomont, the tacit understanding between the two did not need to be expressed through words.
The three of them walked at the front of the group, distancing themselves from the people behind them. Even though they weren't the ones "stepping on the landmine", the people behind them were still very cautious, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Delia glanced at Lomont. Lomont walked in front of Chen Rui, while Delia walked behind. Chen Rui was in the safest position in the middle. Lomont's [Eye of Evil] emitted a faint light as he examined the situation in front of him. The [Eye of Evil] had the ability to "see through", and it had a unique ability to detect danger.
Chen Rui knew in his heart that these so-called traps and mechanisms were the Dragon Inscriptions set by Paglio. However, knowing was one thing, cracking was another. It was just like a minesweeper; he was also in danger of being blown up at any time.
Moreover, the inscriptions around the treasure were set by Paglio at his peak. According to the poison dragon's bragging, even a Demon Overlord-level Dragons would suffer a big loss if they rushed in. Although the power of the inscriptions would weaken every three years, it was not something that he could force his way in with his current strength.
Chen Rui "transferred" all the knowledge of Dragon Inscriptions in his brain and began to run quickly. He carefully observed the surrounding movements. His footsteps suddenly stopped. At the same time, Lomont's left eye also sensed something.
As Lomont was about to step forward, his shoulder was suddenly patted. When he looked back, it was Chen Rui.
"Let me do it."
Lomont shrugged, "Didn't we agree that if there is a trap, I will step on it; if there is a pit, I will fill it; if there is a demonic beast, I will feed it."
"Vengeful guy, you remember this sentence quite clearly." Chen Rui glanced at Delia, "Now is not the time to throw you out. It's better to fatten up before killing you. From now on, I'm the captain. You all have to listen to me. "
"Fatten up?" Lomont looked sad. As he was about to continue to step forward, his shoulder was tightened by Chen Rui. He saw the strong confidence in Chen Rui's eyes. After thinking about it, he finally stopped.
Chen Rui nodded to Delia and walked up. He looked carefully near the big tree and calculated the distance. He actually walked straight toward the most dangerous grass. In the surprised eyes of Lomont and Delia, Chen Rui walked through the most dangerous area safely.
The inscriptions laid by Paglio did not have any inevitable rule from weak to strong. The inscriptions at the outermost layer were exactly the ones with the most terrifying power.
"Chain Explosion" – it could cause the runes that were connected to explode continuously, especially when the power of the superposition was extremely powerful.
Chen Rui walked exactly through the extremely fine gap in the connected runes. If it weren't for his proficiency in inscriptions that was comparable to Paglio, it would be impossible for other Dragons to pass through so easily.
Chen Rui shouted to Delia and Lomont, "Step on my footprints and walk straight over. Don't move around!"
Before Delia stepped forward, Lomont had already stepped forward. He walked straight over while stepping on Chen Rui's footprints. As expected, he passed through safely. Delia also passed through in the same way.
"The people behind, hurry up. Within 10 minutes, this trap will change again!"
Those people behind had already seen Chen Rui and others pass safely. When they heard this, they rushed over and passed one by one according to the method he said. These people looked at Chen Rui with a different gaze. They didn't expect this Higher Demon to be proficient in magic traps. He passed the level so easily.
Chen Rui ignored everyone's gaze and said, "Now it's time for No. 2 to throw."
No. 2 threw "11". No. 11 was an early stage Demon King named Fako. Initially, he wanted to follow the team with a fluke mentality, but he didn't expect that he would be the second one. He suddenly shuddered.
"There was nothing there just now. It was obviously this Higher Demon who was deliberately mystifying!" Fako thought and pointed at Chen Rui. "We should let them continue to explore the way forward!"
As soon as this was said, some people immediately followed suit. The more Chen Rui and the others explored, the safer they would be. Akui snorted and walked up. She waved at Fako, and Fako's figure suddenly fell backward into the rune of the [Chain Explosion].
"Boom! Boom! Boom! " There was a tremor on the ground, and there was a continuous burst sound. Fako didn't even have time to scream, and he was crushed under that kind of power. Everyone was terrified looking at it.
"This is what happens to those who cower and cheat!" Akui said coldly. This woman looked beautiful and sexy, but she was ruthless. It was chilling. Casillas also stood up to express his support. None of the guys who followed suit just now dared to make a sound.
No. 11 in Casillas's magic die had disappeared. It was No. 3's turn to throw. No. 3 threw a 7. No. 7 was a two-person team, and they walked in front.
This was like a game of death. The person who was drawn must experience the test of death. After paying the price of a life, there was only one person left in the No. 7 team. When he thought he had passed the danger and relaxed, he didn't expect that there would be a new inscription trap in front of him. He was torn into pieces after taking a few steps.
The death of the two provided information about the inscription for the latecomers. After rolling the die again, the new game continued cruelly.
Although the treasure hunters who came here were not simple characters, and they obviously had a deep understanding of the trap magic circle, the Dragon Inscription was not comparable to ordinary magic traps after all. Besides, it was set by Paglio at his peak. Some explorers with weaker senses were killed before they could react.
Along the way, the number of people in the team continued to decrease, and the number on the magic die was constantly erased. Even Casillas' team began to lose members. Some people couldn't withstand the mental pressure and tried to escape, but they were all killed one by one.
Along the way, they could also see a lot of bones. Some had become skeletons, and some were very "fresh". They should be the treasure hunters who died in the traps over the years. Some might have died in these few days.
The strange thing was that the corpse puppet named Hart was actually very lucky. He was not drawn even once. Could it be that Casillas controlled the die, and in fact, he was the real owner of the corpse puppet? Or was it the oriole hiding in the back?
"Wait! Don't go first! " Chen Rui suddenly stopped No. 8 who had just been drawn. In the previous journey, the No. 4 team that Chen Rui was in was drawn three more times, and they passed unscathed again. Everyone no longer dared to underestimate this "weakest" Higher Demon. They faintly regarded Chen Rui as a master in the professional field.
Especially Delia, when she heard Chen Rui claimed to be proficient in magic circle, she didn't take it seriously. She didn't expect that he was really not bragging, and his attainments were actually so deep. Along the way, she and Lomont didn't make any moves at all. It was all done by Chen Rui alone.
The woman of No. 8 was Solan. She showed a relieved expression when she heard that. After the previous adventure, she was the only one left in Solan's team.
"Everyone, we seem to be walking forward, but we are actually going around in circles. It's just that the surrounding scenery is constantly changing, which caused our illusion. If Sir Casillas' magic compass is correct, the place with the strongest reaction should be nearby. "
Everyone was surprised: The strongest reaction? Then it must be the location of the treasure!
For a moment, many people had already secretly mobilized their strength and were ready to be the first at any time. Chen Rui was not in a hurry because Paglio said that the treasure was in an underground cave. They were only on the ground now, and there must be more powerful traps in the underground cave.
Chen Rui looked around carefully, walked into the woods on the side and began to observe. If it was during normal times, these people wouldn't even look at a Higher Demon, let alone wait. But now, their eyes all fell on the "master", looking forward to his judgment.
Chen Rui walked to a pond, squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, sniffed it, and finally smiled.
Double compound inscription!
"Illusion + Concealment" intersected with "Teleportation + Mirror Image". No wonder they were always going around in circles. If they were not familiar with Paglio's character, they would really be deceived. But this double inscription was very insidious. Even if they found out that there was a concealment inscription here, they didn't notice the teleportation behind. Then congratulations, they were so close to the treasure, but they didn't know which Java Island they were teleported to, and all their previous efforts would be wasted.
This was the style of that dead duck dragon! Then after this level, they should be very close to the underground cave vault.
Should I teleport all these people away? Or should I bring them in together?
Since it was Paglio's style, these should be just appetizers … Chen Rui thought quickly and finally made a decision.
He walked toward the pond, and strangely, his figure disappeared into the pond. Everyone who witnessed all this knew that something was wrong, and they all rushed over here.
Just when these people thought that Chen Rui was going to go to the hiding place of the treasure alone, Chen Rui's figure appeared again. He retreated from the pond, and there was not a drop of water on him.
"Everyone, hold hands. Those behind, follow up. Walk according to the method in front, and walk lightly!"
Delia did not hesitate. She was the first to hold Chen Rui's arm, followed by Lomont, and then everyone else. Delia's skin was very smooth, and there was a little fragrance on her body. But Chen Rui did not have any unnecessary thoughts. Although Delia was extremely cold to Lomont and even hated him, he could see that the more she was like this, the more it proved that Delia had Lomont in her heart.
The people who held hands and passed through the pond had a wonderful feeling, as if they were stepping on stone blocks to cross the river, as if they were being washed by the flowing water. If they did not follow this path, once they stepped on empty air, they would definitely be washed away.
In fact, if they really triggered the teleportation, it would not be the "river", but the power of the "sea".
After passing through the pond, everyone felt that their eyes were bright, and they had changed to a whole new scene.
In front of them was a huge black cave. The land around the cave was black, and there was no greenery like the surrounding jungle.
Some people couldn't hold back and rushed into the cave. This emotion motivated more people. Only Casillas, Akui and others didn't move, and the strange Hart didn't move either.
There seemed to be no traps along the way, and these people successfully rushed into the cave. Casillas set his eyes on Chen Rui and asked, "Master, shall we go in and take a look together?"
Chen Rui heard this title and smiled slightly, "Since sir is so sincere in inviting me, I naturally can't refuse."
There were no traps on the way into the cave, but there was nothing in the huge cave except for a tunnel leading to the underground.
This tunnel was more than 20 meters high and nearly 10 meters wide. It was obviously convenient for Dragons to pass through. Faint magic lights on both sides could be seen faintly, but it was completely incomparable with the layout of the main pit of Mine Xilang. After all, this was just a treasure trove. Paglio was not one of those dark goblins who liked to fiddle with craftsmanship. It was fine as long as he could illuminate the tunnel. The point was, how many terrifying traps were there under that faint light?
Those people in front should have entered the tunnel, but there was no sound. It was not until Chen Rui and others carefully passed through the long tunnel and entered the "slightly big" underground cave that Paglio mentioned that they finally understood. How is this an underground cave? It is clearly a huge underground palace!
Although he was mentally prepared, when he looked at the intricate tunnel in front of him, Chen Rui's heart inevitably surged with the word "scam". No, three words: Too scam!
