Chapter 189 Troll Tomb
【You have accepted the task of 'absorbing the corpse of a troll'. 】
【You have obtained the 'Troll Shrine'. 】
Mu You clicked on the text of 'Spiritual Altar', took it out and took a look.
The so-called 'troll coffin' is actually a metal urn, with a large number of mysterious patterns carved on the surface, and there are two rows of top and bottom rows, a total of twenty troll skull reliefs.
At this moment, the eyes of all the skeletons are gray, which means that there are no troll ashes in the coffin. Judging from the quantity, every time a troll corpse is absorbed, a skeleton should light up.
When all the skulls are lit up, it means that the ashes have been absorbed.
As soon as the altar was held in hand, an extremely cold aura immediately emanated, covering Mu You's whole body.
Mu You guessed that this was the breath of a troll. As long as he held this thing in his hand, he would not be attacked by the ghosts inside that cave again.
Mu You immediately controlled the character to return to Xiaoya's tree house, and rode a donkey to the previous troll cave.
Mu You has tried it before, and if he puts down the dark teleportation array in other places of the elf forest, it will be dismantled by the passing elves. The elves really don't like this kind of dark things.
No way, Mu You had to transfer from Xiaoya every time.
On the way, he turned on the world channel of the forum and posted two trading posts on the trading interface: one is to collect more than 200 sunflowers, and then he took the fine-grade 'iron crystal mace' and ' Silt Boots' hung up as reward, with the entry 'Negotiable'.
Sunflower itself is not expensive, and the value of one plant will not exceed one year's lifespan. Two excellent items should be enough to exchange.
But the problem is that this thing is a special product of the cities in Africa that correspond to the Protoss world, and there are few closed beta players in Africa, and their levels are generally relatively low. What's more, it is now during the full server mission of the 'Arcane Tower', and fools are generally unable to enter the city. It becomes even more difficult to obtain this kind of material that only grows in a specific city.
Mu You didn't expect to reach a deal soon, so he hung up to try his luck.
As for the other task of catching the 'Abyss Flying Dragon' alive, this task is even more difficult. I am afraid that a single player will not be able to handle it anyway. Probably only a whole team of skilled players will have a chance to act together.
Mu You did his best to post a post on this task, but he didn't dare to mention the specific reward at all, and only said that he intends to discuss it privately.
After the game characters arrived at the entrance of the cave, Mu You sent the coffin into the game, and then clicked 'Enter the Cave'.
【You have entered the cold and damp troll cave. This is the place where the trolls have buried their corpses since ancient times. Countless beast bones are piled up under your feet. 】
【With the ability of night vision, you can see clearly in the cave where you can't see your fingers. You saw the wraiths of countless trolls hovering around you, looking at you unkindly. 】
【Fortunately, the coffin in your hand makes you exude the breath of a troll. Those wraiths did not attack you in the end, they skipped past you one by one and then disappeared. You are safe. 】
It seems that invisibility is ineffective for these wraiths. He is wearing an invisibility cloak, and these wraiths can still see him through.
Fortunately, as long as the altar is in hand, the ghost will not attack actively.
After the first hurdle, it was much easier to handle. A large number of resentful spirits were concentrated at the entrance of the cave, like a gatekeeper, but there were fewer resentful spirits inside.
Mu You continued to explore the depths of the cave, but soon, he realized that he had underestimated the troll's defense of the tomb.
【After walking thirty meters along the narrow dirt path, you entered a wide underground tunnel area. 】
【The tunnel is made of moss-covered smooth boulders, with a width of seven or eight meters. The stone walls on both sides are covered with extinguished torches. Every fifty meters or so in the tunnel, there is a troll grave. Numerous tunnels meander and connect underground, forming a complex and interlaced underground labyrinth. 】
【There is a three-way intersection in front of you. In the three directions of left, middle and right, you can see a faint grave bag, you decide to go first...]
"left!"
At the familiar three-way intersection, Mu You randomly chose one to have a look.
【You go to the tunnel on the left. 】
【You feel that you have bumped into an invisible figure, green skin is revealed in front of you, it turns out to be a sneaking troll assassin! 】
【The troll assassin immediately saw through your disguise, roared angrily, and attacked you with a dagger in his hand. 】
【You easily counter-killed the troll assassin, but your actions also disturbed the other ghosts and patrolling trolls in the cave. 】
【Countless ghosts rush towards you, and you are quickly suppressed and killed in place...】
"Backtrack backtrack!"
Mu You decisively pressed the pocket watch. It turns out that there are not only ghost guards in the cave, but also a large number of living trolls patrolling. The troll shrine can fool ghosts, but it has no effect on living bodies.
Moreover, I don’t know why these trolls like to be invisible so much, and they have to sneak in their own territory, so the text will not give a prompt at all, and they will only know when they bump into it...
【Time flies, you have returned to the intersection, this time, you choose...】
Mu You chose 'Right', but he didn't rush to go directly, but waited for the character to walk to the right for two seconds, clicked on 'Arcane Missile', and explored the way down.
"Sure enough!"
Mu You pressed the pocket watch again, pulled the character back to the intersection just now, walked towards the final middle road, and released the missile again.
Fortunately, this time it finally didn't hit anything.
【Arcane Missile wandered around you several times, but didn't find any target, until the energy was exhausted, it disappeared automatically. 】
【You walk into the middle tunnel with peace of mind. 】
【You found a tomb of 'Troll Spearman'. Place the coffin on the grave, and the remains in the tomb can be absorbed automatically. Do you want to absorb it immediately? 】
"no!"
The task requires the remains of a 'higher troll'. This is obviously just an ordinary soldier, and Mu You himself is reluctant. After all, there are only 20 pits for the urn, so the collected remains should be as high-level as possible.
Next, Mu You continued to use his pocket watch and missile pathfinding ability to push deeper into the crypt.
This catacomb is much bigger than expected. The interior is like a labyrinth full of tombs. There are tombs every few tens of meters, but most of them are ordinary trolls’ tombs. The advanced ones have never seen any of them.
At this time, the map is very important.
While exploring the road, Mu You drew a map on paper. It was similar to the process of exploring Anning Village, but the crypt was much larger than Anning Village, and the map he drew was extremely complicated, like a tortuous spider web.
Moreover, not all roads are passable. The distribution of troll patrols in the crypt was not regular at all. Mu You had just explored for less than half an hour when he encountered a situation where all three roads were blocked by trolls.
【Time flies, you have returned to the fork in the road. Now that you have learned that the three roads ahead are guarded by more than two trolls, do you want to go back the same way and choose another path? 】
"no."
Mu You chose to refuse, he has almost explored the path ahead, and he will have to come back sooner or later.
What's more, the defense of this place has suddenly become so tight, maybe there are high-level tombs.
He waited in place for a while, and went out to throw a missile test every ten minutes. When he hit the troll, he went back and waited.
After waiting for nearly forty minutes, finally, this time the missile was launched without hitting anything.
Mu You's eyes lit up, and it turned out that these patrol soldiers didn't stay in one place all the time.
hurriedly walked in this direction.
【You walked into the depths of the tunnel and found a tomb that was significantly taller than the other tombs. Judging from the crude epitaph, this should be the tomb of a chief of a troll tribe. 】
The hierarchy within the troll tribe is not as clear as that of humans, but the basic identities of chief, priest, and elder are common in every tribe, and these identities are considered high-level trolls.
And this tomb is actually buried with a chief, representing the supreme leader of a tribe, so it must meet the requirements!
【You put the coffin on the top of the grave, and runes automatically spread out from the bottom of the coffin, connecting them into a magic circle, wrapping the entire tomb. Under the operation of the magic circle, the energy of the remaining corpses in the tomb is continuously extracted and poured into the coffin...]
【In the process of absorbing the corpse, it is expected to be completed in 118 seconds...】
Mu You's eyelids twitched. He didn't expect that it would take as long as two minutes to absorb a corpse... During this period, he still couldn't move. Could it be that he was spotted by a passing troll?
Mu You waited anxiously.
As a result, I really came here for whatever I was afraid of. When the countdown reached the last twenty seconds, a new text suddenly popped up.
【A patrolling troll scout passed by here and noticed the movement here. 】
【The troll scouts discovered your evil deed of stealing corpses, and immediately became furious, attacked you, and called for help loudly. 】
【You temporarily repelled the troll scout. And started a battle with other trolls who came to reinforce...]
Mu You knew that this dozen would definitely die again, and now he only hoped that the countdown would finish quickly, at least let him get the ashes before he died, so he wouldn't make a trip in vain.
He hastily used all the magic and means that can be ordered on the panel, delaying the time of death as much as possible.
Fortunately, this operation is still effective, and it was successfully delayed until the countdown reset to zero.
【The coffin has absorbed all the energy in the tomb and accommodated a troll corpse, filling progress (1/20). 】
【You were strangled by countless undead trolls who rushed over, life span -1. 】
【It has been detected that you are bound with a teleportation imprint, are you resurrected at the teleportation point? 】
"yes."
Of course Mu You chose to teleport back to the cabin. He has been exposed now, and if he continues to stay in the tomb, he will only be constantly attacked by ghosts.
