Under Anmusu's incredulous gaze, Bai Xiaowen stood up and walked in front of the tattered statue of the giant snake. He gently turned a scale.
The giant snake statue opened its mouth.
Bai Xiaowen climbed to the mouth of the giant snake and reached his hand into the mouth of the giant snake statue. He quickly touched a piece of moving wood, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Stop, blasphemer!"
Anmusu roared and broke free from the rope. He rushed towards Bai Xiaowen.
Li Shuyi blocked Anmusu's path.
An Musu let out a sharp shriek. Immediately, Li Shuyi's body stiffened. Anmusu's eyes were cold. He took out a small dagger and stabbed towards Li Shuyi's heart.
However, at the same time, a yellow light shot down and Li Shuyi's stiffened state was dispelled. Bai Xiaowen had summoned the Undead Demon Arcane Master and used the Yellow Sky skill on Li Shuyi.
Li Shuyi pursed his lips. He unsheathed his two swords and rushed forward, brushing past Anmusu. Two streams of blood spurted out from the wound.
Anmusu staggered two steps back. He was an elite who specialized in Spirit. In close combat, his control skills were ineffective. He was at an absolute disadvantage.
Anmusu muttered and the tip of his dagger flickered with a faint green light.
Li Shuyi did not give Anmusu any chance. After the two slashes, he turned around and sped up, activating Barbaric Charge!
At the same time, Anmusu's spell was completed. A green light shot at Li Shuyi's feet, trying to imprison him.
Unfortunately, Barbaric Charge ignored all control skills below level 5. This skill did not work. Li Shuyi's Barbaric Charge sent Anmusu flying. Then, he used his two daggers and followed up with three slashes …
"Despicable heretic …"
Anmusu fell, only leaving behind a silver treasure chest.
Bai Xiaowen had already pulled the movable wooden pole in the mouth of the huge snake. A series of rumbling sounds resounded in the hall. Around the stone base of the huge snake statue, strips of huge rocks slowly sank down, revealing a slightly gloomy staircase entrance to the cellar.
The entrance to the cellar seemed to be shrouded in a layer of faint green light. It seemed very mysterious.
A notification from the Spiritual Realm's laws appeared.
[You discovered a hidden dungeon: Serpent God's Underground Palace.]
[Special Elite Side Mission: Scavenger, activated.]
[Mission objective: Kill the high priest of the Silent Tongue Cult and destroy the Golden Serpent Disc.]
[Mission difficulty: S]
[Mission duration: None (Equivalent to the remaining time you have in the Ramses Plane)
[Mission reward: Lucky coin.
[Lucky Coin: To be used in the checkout interface. Choose one of the spoils of war obtained from the adventure in the Spirit Realm and obtain a copy of it. You will need to pay. If you do not have enough points points, the lucky will not be returned. of the lucky coin coin. Number of uses: 1/1. Disappears after use.]
[Special Prompt 1: The lucky coin can only be used on the mission's interface. If you do not use it and return to Earth, the lucky coin will disappear.]
[Special Prompt 2: This special side mission 'Scavenger' and its rewards are classified as confidential information with a Secret Level of 3. You cannot disclose any information about this side mission to others in any form (unless the other party knows of this information in advance). Otherwise, you will receive a Level 3 penalty.]
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi looked at each other. Both of them could see the shock in each other's eyes.
"Secret Level 3 … Level 3 penalty? Can you tell me what the Level 3 penalty is? "Bai Xiaowen tried asking.
The Spiritual Realm's laws did not respond.
"Xiaowen … I know a little about confidential information."
Li Shuyi said slowly, "Starting from the high-level Metahumans, there are certain confidential information that cannot be disclosed to low-level Metahumans. For example, the world's unification and the advancement of Metahumans. The Secret Level of this confidential information is 0. If you violate it, you will receive a Level 0 penalty. Based on the importance of the information and how much it was leaked, you will have to pay a sum of Psionic Points. "
"And this Scavenger mission and its confidential information are actually Level 3! Although I don't know what the Level 3 penalty is, it's best not to violate it, "Li Shuyi concluded.
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said with a smile, "Looks like we've come across some impressive insider information while searching for the equipment sets this time. Let me try and see if I can bring Egyptian soldiers into this underground palace and continue using them as cannon fodder for us … I don't think that's possible. "
As expected, Bai Xiaowen tried to bring two Egyptian soldiers into the underground palace of the Snake God, but the two of them were blocked by a thin layer of green light. They could not squeeze in no matter what.
"A hidden dungeon. Looks like only Metahumans are allowed to enter," Li Shuyi said.
"That's right."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said to the two elite Egyptian officers leading the team, "This small temple hides an evil secret. It's very likely that the Snake God Cult has betrayed the kingdom. Escort the priests and monks back to Memphis. Leave this place to me. "
"Yes, Sir Envoy."
After the two Egyptian officers bowed, they ordered the soldiers to take the priests and monks away.
Actually, in terms of combat strength, the priests and monks of less than a hundred people were stronger than a hundred Egyptian soldiers. However, they did not dare to resist. Resisting was equivalent to completely betraying the kingdom of Egypt. There was no turning back.
Bai Xiaowen had seen this point, which was why he had brought the army over. If it were just him and Li Shuyi, they definitely would not have been able to find the underground palace so easily.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi stepped into the underground palace. Sure enough, this layer of light green light did not cause any hindrance to them. It was as if they had passed through a layer of thin film. After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, in front of them was a circular staircase that extended downwards. It was deep and dark.
Li Shuyi had already opened Ammusu's treasure chest. Unfortunately, this rare elite treasure chest did not give them too many surprises. It only dropped a piece of bound blue equipment, the Nugget White Robe. It increased Spirit by three points. It was rather useless.
They followed the staircase all the way to the bottom. After turning a corner, the two of them were faced with a deep tunnel.
"This reminds me of the Latent Shadow Labyrinth. However, this tunnel is slightly smaller than the Latent Shadow Labyrinth. It's probably not suitable for my summoned creatures to fight in groups, "Bai Xiaowen said.
"This also means that the enemy won't be able to outnumber us. It's to our advantage as well." Li Shuyi was very confident. "Where should we go?"
Bai Xiaowen thought for a moment, and the 3D structure of the Snake God's underground palace flashed through his mind.
"According to the priests' confessions, the Snake God's underground palace actually has two levels. However, Tia's map only briefly indicated the direction of the upper level. It's this upper level that has the names of the three priests, including Tia."
"There are three vertical passages on the upper level, and they are connected by horizontal passages. We are now at one end of the central passage, and the rooms with the names of the three priests are at the other end of the passage. "
"To be safe, let's go to Tia's room first and gather some detailed information about the Silent Tongue. At the same time, we can understand the difficulty of this hidden dungeon," Bai Xiaowen said.
Going directly to the two priests, Moai Taihe and Amos, was a reckless thing to do. Unless there was no other way out, Bai Xiaowen rarely chose to act rashly.
After walking along the left passage for a short distance, Bai Xiaowen led Li Shuyi onto a right passage. After walking forward for a while, they took the right passage, then left again … After a long detour, they returned to the leftmost passage.
Bai Xiaowen's detour naturally made sense. The three passages seemed to lead straight to the bottom, but in fact, there were gates and mechanisms in the middle. On Tia's map, the seemingly simple lines and priests' characters actually had a deeper meaning. Through the direction of the lines, the correct path was outlined.
Only the priests of the Snake God Edjo could decipher the true mystery of the map. Bai Xiaowen had only been able to read a few names through the internet.
A considerable part of the difficulty of this hidden dungeon came from the terrain.
Generally, when the awakened ones found this hidden instance, most of them sneaked in. Just the intricate tunnels were enough to give them a headache, and the soul-devouring mechanisms were even more frightening. Before seeing the priest, they would have to eat several waves of losses.
Bai Xiaowen led the official army, occupied the temple, and killed people to establish his authority. Then, he ordered the professionals to decipher the map. A series of seemingly useless actions directly reduced the difficulty of the hidden dungeon's terrain by a large margin.
The only thing before them was the artificial difficulty — the hidden dungeon, the Silent Tongue believers and priests in the Snake God's underground palace.
After walking about one-third of the way, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi encountered the first wave of believers.
There were only three believers in the first wave. They were a small patrol team — in such a remote and hidden underground palace, there was actually a patrol team. Bai Xiaowen could not help but ridicule the priests' sense of danger.
The three believers were all elites. They had specialties in strength, agility, and spirit. The division of labor was very reasonable. There was no need to talk about their respective skills. It was worth mentioning that no matter what specialization the believers had, in addition to the three combat skills, they all had a common skill.
[Doctrine of the Silent Tongue LV1: HP increases by an additional 100 points. Main attribute increases by 10 points.]
This additional skill turned the three ordinary elites into powerful creatures whose attributes were comparable to that of rare elites.
Many high-level elites had the ability to increase their HP. However, an increase of 10 points in the main attribute was already very powerful. It was equivalent to having two additional Gold-grade equipment.
Fortunately, only their attributes were enhanced. In terms of skills, they were still not as powerful as rare elites. Therefore, they were not difficult to deal with.
Bai Xiaowen summoned the Wrath Claw, the Skeleton Warrior, and Li Shuyi. In less than two minutes, the three Silent Tongue believers were defeated.
"Three silver treasure chests!"
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were a little surprised. For their small team, killing elites and not dropping treasure chests was a very normal occurrence. Based on the normal probability, these three elites should have dropped a treasure chest. However, in the end, all three of them dropped a treasure chest.
"The difficulty of the hidden dungeon has increased. Perhaps the drop rate of the treasure chests has also increased. Let's open them and see. "
The combat ratings were not high. They were only D or C rank. Fortunately, the three treasure chests did not appear empty. They all dropped items.
[Sweet Grass Stalk: Food. After eating, immediately recover 15 HP.]
[Juicy Lettuce: Food. After eating, immediately recover 20% of your mental strength. For the next 15 seconds, recover 2% of your mental strength every second.]
[Dried Fig: Food. After eating, immediately remove negative statuses and control effects. The additional priority of this item is (3).]
The three treasure chests dropped three different types of food. Li Shuyi clicked his tongue in wonder. "All three treasure chests got food. Is our luck good or bad …"
"Maybe it's a special feature of this hidden dungeon …" Bai Xiaowen said.
"You mean to say that the monsters in the Snake God's Underground Palace are all foodies?" Miss Li's thoughts turned very quickly.
"Uh …"
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Whether or not they are foodies doesn't matter. However, after seeing this Juicy Lettuce, we have to be careful … Maybe Evil Ghost's Mana Draw won't be so useful in this dungeon."
Li Shuyi nodded in agreement. Bai Xiaowen glanced at the Bracelet of Misfortune on his left wrist again. The human face on it had a serious expression. He was slightly relieved and continued to move forward.
After walking for a while, the two encountered a group of Silent Tongue disciples again.
This time, there were as many as six disciples. It seemed like two patrol teams had been put together at the last minute.
Bai Xiaowen summoned the Butcher to guard their position. The Necromancer was also summoned to attack from afar. Together with Bai Xiaowen's own gun attacks, after a fierce battle, they took down another six people.
This time, six silver treasure chests dropped!
They opened the treasure chests. This time, there were three Sweet Grass Stalks, one Juicy Lettuce, and one Dried Fig..
Apart from that, the last treasure chest dropped a new type of food.
[Dried Radish: Food. After eating, recover 2 HP per second for 10 seconds.]
Li Shuyi: "…"
Bai Xiaowen: "… Let's hurry up. We have to hurry. "
"Why?" Li Shuyi asked.
"The previous wave had six people … I suspect that the next wave may have nine people. This dungeon's difficulty may increase with time." Bai Xiaowen voiced his guess. "The longer we spend exploring the underground palace, the more enemies we will encounter, and the stronger they will be."
"Is it that crazy?" Li Shuyi said. "Fortunately, you know the map. If it were the awakened ones who didn't know the map and wandered around, they would definitely spend more time. How are they going to clear this dungeon?"
"How? But …" Bai Xiaowen laughed. "After all, this is an S-Level Elite Mission. It's on the same level as capturing Kyo Kusanagi. In terms of difficulty, it's not much different from an A-Level Hero Mission …"
