Not bad.
There was a treasure chest in the first room.
Although the treasure chests looked old, the items inside would not lose their effectiveness due to the passage of time.
Ma Wen bent down and shook the wooden chest lightly.
He did not have [Eliminate Traps] and [Pick Lock] skills, so he could only judge based on his experience.
[Eliminate Traps] was a Ranger's basic skill. It was very important in team battles, especially in dungeons. However, Ma Wen did not want to develop in this direction. It was not worth it to waste precious skill points in this area. [Pick Lock] was a Rogue's basic skill. Rangers and Rogues were both Rogues, so they could learn [Pick Lock]. However, it would cost double skill points, so it was not worth it for Ma Wen.
A low-level Pick Lock Scroll could solve the problem for a normal treasure chest. Why would he use skill points if he could use money to solve the problem?
A faint sound came from the wooden chest.
Ma Wen listened carefully.
"There shouldn't be any traps.
It's just a normal lock. "
He tore open a Pick Lock Scroll and opened the bronze lock.
Then, he used the tree branch he brought with him to open the wooden chest.
* Whoosh! *
A dart flew out from the wooden box and nailed into the mud wall with a thud.
Ma Wen frowned.
Even his judgment was wrong. As expected, without the [Listen] skill, it would be difficult to discover these tricky traps with just his hearing.
Fortunately, he was careful enough.
He moved closer to check the dart.
The edge of the dart was dark green. It was obviously dipped in poison. He recognized this kind of dart. In the eastern islands, there was a special class — Ninja. One of their signature weapons was this kind of dart.
"So this is a treasure chest left behind by a Ninja?"
Ma Wen took out the item from the chest. There was only a thin book inside. There were a few words written in the common language.
[Introduction to Hidden Weapons]
"It's a skill book!
And it's a Ninja skill book. "
Ma Wen's eyelids twitched. Skill books were things that could only be found by chance. In his previous life, as a Master of the Night, he had fought with some ninjas.
Although those players eventually died in his hands, Ma Wen still had a deep impression of the ninjas' endless hidden weapons.
After learning this [Introductory Concealed Weapons Explanation], one could master one to three introductory concealed weapons' usage methods.
The learning of the skill book was only related to the learner's personal qualities, and there were no requirements for their profession.
For example, in theory, if a Berserker picked up a skill book called [Flaming Hand], if he was smart enough and had a certain foundation in spells, he could learn this spell. But in fact, you and I both know that with a Berserker's brain, they basically have no chance in learning spells.
As for the hidden weapon mastery, it had a higher requirement for agility. This was because it required a lot of control over every part of the body. It was very difficult for ordinary people to learn it in a short period of time.
But to Ma Wen, none of this was a problem.
His control over his body was very strong, so it shouldn't take long for him to learn concealed weapons.
He put away the precious skill book. There was nothing else in the box.
So he activated Stealth again and left the room.
Who knew that at this moment, in his peripheral vision, he would suddenly see a faint white shadow fly past!
What the hell is that!
Ma Wen was shocked. He looked carefully, but the place was empty. There was nothing there.
Was it an illusion?
Ma Wen became serious.
He checked his battle log and personal attributes again, but there was nothing.
The sky had already darkened. The moonlight was not as bright under the effect of the fog.
He didn't have Night Vision, so he could only see limited things. But the Scarlet Attendants were the same. Their rooms were lit with candles, which made it very convenient for Ma Wen to assassinate them.
That white shadow … … What is it?
Ma Wen felt a bit uneasy. He had never experienced something like this before.
This place is strange. Looks like I need to finish this quickly.
Ma Wen reminded himself to be vigilant at all times, then he went to the door of the second room.
This room was dark, so there shouldn't be any Scarlet Attendants.
He pushed the door open and went in.
… …
There were a total of 18 rooms. There were a total of 10 Scarlet Attendants.
Ma Wen used about two hours to clear out the 18 rooms.
This gave him 90 Slaughter EXP and six treasure chests. Among the six treasure chests, only one was a magic lock. The rest were normal locks.
Apart from the Hidden Weapon Skill Book, the other four normal treasure chests gave him a bag of gold bars, a necklace, an unknown potion, and an ancient book that recorded the history of the Scarlet Monastery.
Ma Wen had obtained this ancient book in his previous life. The book looked ordinary, but it contained a huge secret of the Scarlet Monastery.
But this secret was the same as the sleeping Lich. It required a certain amount of strength to explore. Ma Wen carefully put away the ancient book.
The gold bars were of high purity and could be exchanged for a lot of money in any city. Money was always a good thing.
This bottle of potion was the same as the azure gem, it was something that needed to be appraised. Ma Wen wasn't a Potion Master, so he naturally couldn't appraise it.
The only thing that came in handy was the necklace:
[Moon Scar (Necklace)]
Quality: Glimmer
Effect: Moonlight Vision + 50
May Fania's gaze accompany you on your journey
Requirement: Intelligence 14
… …
Fania was the name of the Moon Goddess.
Ma Wen just met the requirement of 14 Intelligence, so he equipped the necklace without hesitation.
[You are wearing the Moon Scar …]
[Moonlight Vision + 50 …]
Two spots of light flashed in Ma Wen's eyes. Ma Wen could clearly see everything in the dim moonlight!
This was the benefit of the additional 50 Moonlight Vision!
There were many types of vision, but the most common was Sunlight Vision, which was also normal vision. Ma Wen was a human, so his Sunlight Vision was a mediocre 100 points.
This meant that on flat ground, under the premise of sufficient sunlight, Ma Wen could distinguish between creatures within a range of 1000 meters, which was roughly the difference between humans and animals.
The Ranger profession had a rather powerful skill called [Long Range Vision]. This skill allowed the Ranger to see further than the limits of human vision.
However, this skill was limited to Sunlight Vision.
Corresponding to Sunlight Vision were Moonlight Vision and Dark Vision. In these two aspects, the mediocre human race had no bonus. Humans' Moonlight Vision was 10 points, and Dark Vision was a pitiful 1 point. Some people with poor eyesight had almost zero Dark Vision.
Moonlight Vision's range of application was relatively narrow, but as long as there was moonlight, it could be used.
In short, Ma Wen was very satisfied with the effects of this Glimmer necklace.
At least it would be much more convenient to walk on moonlit nights.
… …
In front of Ma Wen was the last Magic Lock Treasure Chest.
This Magic Lock Treasure Chest was a bit tricky. Because he had already tried it twice and used two Magic Lock Opening Scrolls, but they both failed.
Using a Lock Opening Scroll to open a lock had a certain probability of failure. This situation was more easily reflected on the Magic Lock Treasure Chest.
He still had two Magic Lock Opening Scrolls, but the problem was that a Magic Lock Treasure Chest could only be opened three times.
If he still failed the third time, then the scroll would be ineffective on the chest.
Ma Wen had a bit of a headache.
Should he gamble on his luck now, or should he bring the chest back and buy a more advanced Magic Lock Opening Scroll?
"Forget it. Let's play it safe and bring the chest back."
This chest was not big and could barely fit in the Void Conch.
But when he was about to put the chest into the Void Conch, he was shocked to find that he could not put it in!
"Space Rejection!?"
"What's in this box? Does it reject spatial items? "
"Or does the chest itself have the nature of rejecting spatial items?"
Now that he could not bring the chest back, Ma Wen could only gamble one last time.
He tore off the last Magic Lock Opening Scroll and quietly waited for the result.
The light blue magic key automatically inserted itself into the keyhole, and suddenly there was a click.
"Success?"
Ma Wen was slightly happy.
Who knew that the key would suddenly collapse in the next second!
The Magic Lock Treasure Chest trembled and returned to normal.
Still can't open it?
Ma Wen was a bit depressed. There must be something good in this chest, but he could not take it out. It was really troublesome.
A cold wind blew past.
Ma Wen suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
"It's that white shadow again!"
"It's been following me!"
Ma Wen abruptly turned around, the scimitar in his hand!
But this time, what he saw was no longer emptiness, but an intense light!
[Strong Light]!
"Despicable trick!"
Ma Wen closed his eyes as soon as the light appeared. His battle instincts helped him make the best choice!
He did not retreat, but rushed forward with the two scimitars in his hands!
The scimitars had long been smeared with holy water, no matter what kind of demon or ghost it was, it could not resist!
"Wait …"
"I don't want to hurt you."
A timid voice sounded. "Can you keep your eyes closed? I don't want you to see me like this. "
"I don't want anyone to see me like this."
Ma Wen's movements paused!
It was clearly a girl's voice!
"Don't open your eyes!"
Ma Wen opened his eyes, and a white shadow instantly swept past.
"You can't see me, you'll be cursed!"
The girl's voice became anxious.
Ma Wen gripped the scimitar tightly and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
His palms were slightly sweaty.
This was the first time he encountered such a strange thing. There did not seem to be such an event when he came to the Scarlet Monastery before.
Could it be that only people who entered the monastery for the first time could trigger this event?
"My name is Valisa."
The voice came from behind Ma Wen. "They call me … Headless Maiden."
Headless Maiden … Valisa?!
Ma Wen seemed to recall something.
