To be honest, the purple-robed priest's loot was actually very rich, but after transforming into a snake, his storage items were automatically sealed.
Marvin killed the King Cobra in its snake form, and the good stuff on his body naturally disappeared into the void.
This made Ma Wen feel that it was a bit of a pity. However, the mages of the Twin Serpent Sect were all like this. If he wanted to take anything from them, he would have to find a mage who was more advanced than them to use mind control to make them obediently take out their loot.
Ma Wen cleaned up the cave and swept away all the bottles and jars in the secret cabinet.
There were a lot of high-quality potions in there, such as those that could resist cold, heat, poison, and attributes. There were about 20 bottles of different sizes!
This was the biggest harvest.
Potions were very rare to begin with. Potioneering was a branch of alchemy, but in this era dominated by wizards, those who had the ability to make potions usually had the talent to become more powerful wizards. Very few people were willing to make potions for others.
Coupled with the limited materials, it was destined that a high-level potioneering master needed a lot of money, effort, and time to become one. It was understandable that the various kinds of potions on the market had always been high.
Some potions could save a person's life in a critical moment. For example, the bottle of Dragon's Strength that Ma Wen obtained before had helped him twice in a row.
Although the potions he obtained from the king cobra's secret cabinet were not as powerful as Dragon's Strength, they had a wide variety and could be used in all kinds of situations.
This made Ma Wen very satisfied.
As for the glimmering items in the corner, Ma Wen also found three, but they all overlapped with the equipment he was wearing, and the effects were not very good.
These glimmering items were no longer useful to Ma Wen. Unless it was an exquisite item like the Stone Giant's Belt, ordinary glimmering items would be thrown into the void conch.
However, what surprised Ma Wen was that he actually found a Leaf of Nature under the purple-robed priest's desk!
The Leaf of Nature was the only way for a ranger to learn magic, so Ma Wen naturally accepted it without hesitation and used it.
After using this Leaf of Nature, he obtained his second personal spell!
[Snake Monster Transformation]: You can transform into a snake monster for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the spell will automatically be removed. During the transformation, you will need 5 seconds to remove the transformation.
There was no doubt that this spell would come in handy at certain times. After all, it was a level 2 spell and was still very powerful.
In terms of practicality, it seemed a little worse than the mutated vine because it could only be used once a day.
But for Marvin, the more spells there were, the better it was.
… …
In addition, Ma Wen also found a lot of good things in this cave.
However, Marvin didn't even dare to touch these treasures!
This was because these things were branded with the Twin Serpent Sect's brand. After the underground granary incident, when the Scarlet Patriarch recovered, he would definitely send someone or even personally investigate. If he did so, he, the King of the Church, he would have found.
If the King of the Church personally dealt with him, even if a powerhouse like Ibu was by his side, he would not be able to escape the Crimson Patriarch's hands!
After all, it was too easy to kill someone in this world. Especially for the two Patriarchs of the Twin Serpent Sect.
Among these items, there was a set of [Fearless] equipment that had extremely high poison resistance. It consisted of a top, pants, gloves, belt, shoes, and hat.
Once the [Fearless] suit was fully equipped, it could even resist the poisonous fog of the Wyvern.
Ma Wen looked at it enviously. If it was in the game, he would have taken it away!
But in reality, he still had to consider the revenge of the Twin Serpent Sect!
"How troublesome … It seems that not many people can wash away these imprints …"
"Wash …"
"Huh?"
Ma Wen suddenly patted his head. He seemed to have thought of something!
"Wait … Let me see …"
He hurriedly flipped through the data record and checked some information.
Half a minute later, Ma Wen revealed a satisfied smile.
"I was wondering why I had an impression. So I have a way!"
"As expected, every profession has its use. I underestimated them too much."
With that in mind, Marvin stuffed the [Fearless] set into the Void Conch without a second thought.
He did not take any of the other items. The method he had just thought of could only target a small number of valuable items. Although the other items were not bad, they were not worth Ma Wen taking the risk.
After emptying the King Cobra's cave of the good stuff, Ma Wen immediately began the second part of his plan.
…
"Lord Cobra, what can I do for you?"
In the cave, a rank two priest walked in respectfully and looked at the purple robe on the high platform.
However, before he could finish speaking, a figure suddenly jumped out from the shadows beside him and rushed behind him in an instant!
He raised his two blades and slashed down!
Puff!
The rank two priest did not have the reaction speed of the King Cobra. He could not even turn around in time, and his head was directly split open by Ma Wen!
"The first one."
Ma Wen silently dragged the corpse to the side and searched for a while. He found a glimmering item and a large amount of money. Satisfied, he ran to the high platform and pulled the second line!
There were six lines here, and each line was connected to the senses of six rank two priests in the underground granary.
Usually, if the King Cobra wanted to summon them, it would use these lines to inform them.
Ma Wen killed the King Cobra first, so he had the upper hand.
He pulled the strings one by one and repeated the same procedure. In less than an hour, all six rank two priests died tragically in this cave without exception!
Although they were all rank two priests, they did not pose any threat to Ma Wen at all.
However, the things they had were also very poor. Other than the wizard gold, there were only three glimmering items in total.
Among these three glimmering items, only one was to Ma Wen's liking. It was a necklace that increased Perception, and it was just enough to replace his almost useless [Moon Scar].
[Necklace of Sensitivity]: When worn, your Perception + 1
Ma Wen's Perception was average, so he wanted to increase it.
… …
After the six mages died one after another, the underground granary was immediately in chaos.
The ordinary people who were controlled by the mind control spell immediately came back to their senses. They clearly remembered what they had done before. Some of them could not accept it, and their emotions fluctuated greatly. Most of them ran out of the cave without thinking!
For a moment, the entire underground granary was in chaos.
Only Ma Wen calmly walked out of the cave, ignoring the people running around, and went straight to the destination.
If this was still in the game, Ma Wen's goal would have been achieved. The purple-robed priest and the six second grade mages were dead, and there was nothing else he wanted in this dungeon.
But this was reality!
This dungeon was called [Underground Granary]!
The thing that Ma Wen had abandoned in the past had now become the most precious resource.
That was food.
… …
In the depths of the underground granary, in a deep cave.
Ma Wen carefully avoided some simple traps and opened a door.
It was dark behind the door, but Ma Wen had dark vision, so he did not need a torch to illuminate the place.
It was a fairly open space, and there was a slowly flowing underground river in the distance.
On his left, there was a tall wooden house!
The wooden house was not locked, and Ma Wen easily got in.
There was no one in the wooden house, only eleven golden bulls!
That's right, golden bulls. These eleven golden bulls were enchanted with anti-gravity spells, so no matter how heavy they were, they would become very light.
Seeing that these eleven golden bulls were safe and sound, Ma Wen was ecstatic.
Finally done!
If it was someone else, seeing these eleven golden bulls, they might greedily think that they were just simple works of art made of gold.
But Ma Wen was different.
He knew that these eleven golden bulls were actually the product of alchemy!
Every golden bull was cast in gold seamlessly, but they could be opened or closed with a magic spell.
They were filled with nothing but huge amounts of food!
In his previous life, Ma Wen had explored the underground granary countless times, and there was only a small chance that he could find golden bulls here. He basically sold the Taurus.
This time, however, these golden bulls would be the key to solving the food crisis in his territory.
But how could he transport all these golden bulls away?
Ma Wen hesitated for a moment, and finally came up with an idea.
His gaze was fixed on the underground river at the side.
… …
At dawn, the sound of hooves could be heard in front of the Screaming Mountains.
A team of guards from Wormwood Dock was temporarily transferred over, with a rank 3 Magus following them.
This was the result of Old Tuck's connections. Of course, it was also related to the Southern Wizard Alliance's emphasis on the increasingly arrogant Twin Serpent Sect.
"Is the base of the Twin Serpent Sect in front?" The rank 3 wizard asked solemnly.
Old Tuck nodded. "I can't be wrong. My tracking spell has never failed me before. "
"You're saying that a young noble brashly broke into this base last night?"
The rank 3 wizard frowned. "Why didn't you stop him?!"
"You know better than me how dangerous the Twin Serpent Sect is," Old Tuck said helplessly.
"I'm not very persuasive," Old Tuck said helplessly. "Also, that young man has made up his mind."
"Ignorant courage," the rank 3 wizard commented harshly.
"I hope he won't become one of the Twin Serpent Sect's hostages when we kill our way in," the rank three Magus commented harshly.
"Come, let's go."
The group entered the underground granary with a few professional rogues leading the way.
However, what surprised them was that they did not encounter anyone from the entrance of the cave!
Of course, they would not suspect Old Tuck. The braziers on both sides of the cave meant that this was indeed the base of the Twin Serpent Sect!
"What the hell are those evil cultists doing?!" The rank 3 wizard looked into the depths of the cave vigilantly.
The group continued forward and gradually approached the core of the underground granary.
… …
On the other side, in the pitch-black underground river, 11 golden bulls were tied together by two ropes, floating on the river.
A figure was lying on the back of the golden bulls. It was Ma Wen!
