Chapter 274 Survival of the fittest
【You try to unlock the shackles in front of you, your lucky value today is 9, and the success rate of unlocking is 1.2%. Note: If you fail to unlock, the shackles will close the keyhole, and you can try to unlock again after 24 hours. 】
The lock that traps the scales is pretty smart. It has a built-in blocking function. Once it fails to open, it will automatically block the lock hole. That is to say, you can only try it once a day, avoiding the possibility of being cracked by violence.
Fortunately, Libra and Capricorn didn't try to unlock it casually before, otherwise, if the keyhole was blocked, Mu You would not be able to help them.
【You used the 'lock heart opening', the shackles snapped and bounced automatically, and Shengguang Nana was free. 】
This type of shielding is not effective for Mu You, and after going back dozens of times, he unlocked it smoothly.
【Shengguang Nana: Thank you! 】
【Curse of Winter: That vampire might have already entered the tomb. Do we need to catch him together? 】
【Captain Ghost: No need, I will take care of the vampire, and the monsters here only recognize me, so let’s leave first. 】
【Shengguang Nana: So this is your territory...I'm sorry. 】
【Captain Ghost: It’s nothing, and thanks to your reminders, I found out that someone has sneaked in here. 】
After saying goodbye, the two left first. They came in through the 'door' and had to go back within a day.
Mu You turned around and collected the spoils.
【You pick up the shackles on the ground. 】
【Drawing the ground as a prison: a magical shackle, once placed in a certain position, the shackle will automatically become invisible, the first person who touches the shackle will be locked in place, and will not be free until the lock is unlocked. Shackle Owner: Rhine Mai. (Temporary borrowing status: automatically recovered after 7 days and 05 hours)]
This is an epic item!
It's a pity that this prop seems to have an owner, and it was only lent out for others. After a week, no matter where the shackles are, they will automatically return to the owner.
"Line May?"
Mu You looked at the name displayed in the text. Who is this person? Libra duo mentioned vampires? But the person looked like a male vampire from the description, and the name looked like a female.
Mu You couldn't figure it out for a while, but at this moment, the gargoyle scouting sent out returned and brought back a message.
[The gargoyle flew back to your shoulder, and reported to you what it detected: in the middle of the tomb, far away from the cave, a male vampire was crawling furtively, looking at the target at the top of the tomb Chamber of Secrets. 】
【You arranged for the war eagle to follow the gargoyle. From the perspective of the war eagle, you really saw the vampire who sneaked in. 】
【Rodney (Level 13): A vampire domestic servant raised by the Rhine family. He has average combat effectiveness, but has a strong ability to survive, as well as a shrewd and greedy personality. 】
Feedback information is very little, but looking at this guy's actions, it seems that he can hide his breath to a certain extent, so he dared to walk in the tomb.
Since Muyou extracted the vampire skin, the coercion in the tomb has disappeared, but there are still many high-level monsters as grave guards.
This guy deliberately used the map fragments to trick the two of Libra into the cave, precisely to use them to attract the attention of the monsters, thus creating time for himself to act.
After confirming that only a thirteenth-level vampire servant came in, Mu You relaxed a lot.
Now Mu You can directly order the tomb guards to surround and kill this guy, but there is no rush, first ask this guy what the purpose of coming here is.
Thinking of this, he controlled the character to return to the secret room at the top, opened the ice coffin, took out the remains of Vivienne and Grandma Lin Xue, and then he lay down by himself.
【You lay down in the bone-chilling coffin, observing every move of the vampire servant through the perspective of a war hawk. 】
【Under your order, the tomb guards did not leave the cave, but still gathered in front of the cave. The vampire servant had enough time to transfer, and after crawling for more than ten minutes, he finally came to the secret room at the top of the tomb. 】
【The vampire servant pushed open the door of the secret room and walked into it. 】
【After looking around for a week, he quickly walked towards the coffin where you were. 】
【The vampire servant saw the vampire claw and ghost cloak stored in your hand, and greedy light flashed in his eyes. 】
【Looking around and confirming that no one found it, the vampire servant swallowed, quietly opened the lid of the coffin, and reached out to touch your vampire's claws. your choice…】
【You suddenly opened your eyes and grabbed the opponent's hand! 】
【"Rodney, you seem to be very interested in my claws?" You stared at the other party with a stern face and said. 】
[The moment Rodney saw your eyes open, he was startled, knelt down in panic, and explained to you in a panic: "No, Lord Liston, you misunderstood, I just followed Miss Mai's order , I’m here to wake you up…”]
【"Miss Mai?" You expressed doubts about the name he mentioned. 】
【"It's your own sister, have you forgotten?" Rodney looked at you with some strange eyes. 】
【Obviously, your question aroused his suspicion. You choose to reply...]
"Is my sister..."
Mu You looked at the text prompt. In this way, this person was sent by the family of the vampire count. It is not surprising that his family would know his burial place.
It's just that no one has visited him for so many years. There must be a reason for his sudden visit at this time.
Mu You enter a message in the text box.
【"I just came back to life not long ago, and my memory is still a little messed up." You casually found a reason. 】
【Your explanation reassured the other party, but there was still some doubt in his eyes. your choice…】
【You chose to expose the other party's lies! 】
[You have absorbed the skin of the vampire count, so you know best that Liston's resurrection time should not be now, but in a more distant future. The other party must have another purpose here. You choose to make an angry expression, continue Ask him why. 】
【Rodney is a servant of the Rhine family and has no right to resist the vampires of the Rhine family. Under your intimidation, he was frightened and dared not hide it, so he hastily revealed the reasons for himself. 】
[The millennium vampire meeting is about to be held. All vampires who are sleeping in various places need to participate, but vampires are a race that hides from the world. In order to avoid being discovered by the demon hunters and church people. Vampires gather in large numbers. Come to hide the clan meeting place. 】
【The heart of the mist was taken away by the vampire Earl Liston a thousand years ago for safekeeping. Now the Vampire Prince asked the Rhine family to hand over the Heart of Mist as soon as possible, so Rhine Mai had no choice but to arrange servants to search for his brother's tomb. 】
【However, according to the information Liston left at the beginning, he still has nine thousand years before he can be resurrected. Therefore, Mai gave the servants two orders: one, if her brother hadn't woken up, let Rodney quietly take the heart of the mist and leave. Second, if the elder brother has already woken up, just hand over the prepared letter to the other party. 】
【After Rodney finished explaining, he hastily took out the letters and things prepared by the master and handed them to you. 】
【You got a letter written by 'Rhein Mai'. 】
【You have received an invitation letter from the ‘Vampire Society’. 】
"Heart of the Mist... The Vampire Society..."
There are two new terms mentioned in this text, so I won’t mention the clan association. It must be an internal matter of the vampire clan, which he didn’t understand at all.
It's the 'Heart of the Mist', which sounds like an item. Could it be the source of the fog around the Misty Mountain?
Let go home with the heart of mist after half a month, but I still don't know where the heart of mist is...
【"Get up." After listening to the explanation, you didn't continue to embarrass Rodney and let him get up. 】
【Rodney stood up as if he had been pardoned, and hastily bid farewell to you. The pressure from you is too great, now that the letter has been handed over to you, and his task is completed, he can't wait to leave. your choice…】
【"Stop!" You suddenly ordered the other party to stop. 】
【Rodney looks at you anxiously, asking if you have any other orders. 】
【You tell the other party that you will continue to sleep and won’t wake up until nine thousand years later, so you won’t be able to go to the clan meeting next month, so let the other party go back with the heart of mist. 】
Mu You is not interested in the so-called Clan Association, but he is still very interested in the Heart of the Mist. He doesn't know where the XZ is, but this servant is here to pick it up, so he must know the location, so he is going to fool him. The servant found the things for him.
【When Rodney heard what you said, a greedy gleam flashed in his eyes again. As a servant, he doesn't dare to make irresponsible remarks on your decision, but waits carefully for you to take out the Heart of Mist. 】
【"Do you want me to do this little thing myself?" You reprimanded the other party with a serious expression. 】
【"Don't bother you, I'll come, I'll do it!" Rodney hastily apologized to you, and then retreated to the fireplace in the secret room, as if he was about to go into the chimney. 】
"Drilling into the chimney? Could it be that the heart of the mist is hidden on the top of the mountain?"
Mu You's heart moved, he hurriedly clicked on the panel, and clicked on the newly learned 'Soul Fire' in the spell bar.
The environment on the top of the mountain is not something ordinary people can bear. This person is about to go up the mountain without saying anything. It seems that he may be able to withstand the hypothermia on the top of the mountain, so Mu You temporarily decided to add a 'monitoring technique' to him to monitor him remotely. Every move, to see how he survived on the mountain.
[You released the 'soul fire' on Rodney, and Rodney immediately felt the ignited flame in his soul, knowing that you were watching him, but due to your authority, he didn't dare to say anything more, silently up the chimney. 】
【Through the perspective of Soul Fire, you see Rodney climbing to the top of the mountain after a difficult climb. 】
【In front of your eyes is a white world covered by ice and snow. The white snow-capped mountains are connected together. The wind mixed with frost is whistling. You see that Rodney has difficulty breathing and quickly enters a state of hypothermia. The life value is declining at a rate of 5% per second...]
【Rodney ignored the pain on his body and walked towards a certain direction in the snow. After ten seconds, his life is only half, but from then on, you find that the rate of decline of his life starts to slow down. 】
【After 30 seconds, Rodney's life remains at 5%...】
【Fifty seconds later, Rodney's life remains at 1%...】
【After 100 seconds, Rodney's life is 1 point...】
【You found that Rodney's life stopped falling! 】
[This is Rodney's innate ability 'survival of the fittest'. As a low-level servant of the vampire family, he has not awakened a strong fighting ability, but awakened the tenacious survival ability of Xiaoqiang, who can quickly adapt to high temperature, severe cold, suffocation, and drought and other extreme living environments. 】
"There is still this talent..."
Mu You raised his eyebrows. Although he is not a combat talent, he is one of the strongest survival talents in terms of practicality. No wonder the vampire family sent him to get the heart of the mist.
While watching the progress of the text, Mu You took the time to send Lin Xue a message through the forum.
"What's the matter?" Fortunately, Lin Xue was still asleep.
"Go online, come to the Misty Mountain Tomb..." Mu You briefly explained the situation to her.
This vampire servant, Mu You, didn't intend to let him go back. No matter the 'heart of fog' or the vampire's own ability, Mu You had no reason to let him go.
Lin Xue also left a teleportation array in this secret room, and teleported over in a short while.
The location of the heart of the mist is farther than imagined.
Mu You looked at the text prompt, and Rodney finally stopped after walking for half an hour.
【You saw that Rodney came to an abandoned altar. After some digging on the altar covered by ice and snow, there was an extra crystal sphere in his hand. 】
【The shape of a mountain range emerges from the crystal sphere, which is exactly the steep shape of the Misty Mountain, and the periphery of the Misty Mountain is shrouded in a layer of mist like a coat. 】
[Rodney got the crystal ball, a flash of surprise and unstoppable greed flashed in his eyes, but then he realized that you were watching him, and he didn't dare to do anything inappropriate, so he hurriedly put the crystal ball away carefully, and then told The position of the chimney turns back. 】
It took another half an hour to turn back, but what made Mu You speechless was that this guy was looking around all the way. There are undoubtedly many treasures on the snow mountain. I suspect that he will plunder all the good things on the mountain before leaving.
【You lie back in the coffin. 】
【After a while, you hear movement in the chimney. 】
【Rodney appeared in the secret room again, and found you who had re-entered the coffin to sleep. At the same time, he also found the vampire's claw that you deliberately placed on the stone table. 】
【Rodney was overjoyed, thinking that you forgot the treasure outside before falling asleep, and hurried to the table quietly. 】
【After turning back to confirm that you are still asleep, Rodney stretched out his hand towards the paw on the table...】
【It was automatically closed by the 'painted ground as a lock' you arranged on the table in advance, locking Rodney in place. 】
【Everything went smoothly according to your script. You got up from the coffin and looked at the other party with a calm expression. For you, he is already the fish on the chopping board. 】
【"Master Liston, I, I just want to help you put back the lost treasure..." Rodney watched you approach without saying a word, and explained to you in panic. 】
【At this moment, the door of the secret room was suddenly pushed open, and a girl in red with a sickle walked in from the door. 】
【The vampire servant looked at the two people in front of him in surprise, seemed to understand something, and suddenly began to struggle violently: "No, you are not Master Liston, who are you?"】
[It's a pity that Rodney, who was imprisoned by chains, had no possibility of breaking free from the chains. During the struggle, his last life points were also exhausted, but because of the effects of the chains, he was still imprisoned by the chains when he was resurrected after death. in place. 】
Mu You saw that this man struggled to death without opening the lock, and finally he was sure that he did not have the key, and the key seemed to be in the hands of that cheap sister.
Now he felt relieved, and started killing with Lin Xue.
This vampire's combat power is indeed not strong, and one hand was locked. With the cooperation of the two, the other party has no resistance at all.
Because the corpse of the person swallowed by the **** of death would disappear immediately, in order to keep the opponent's skin, Lin Xue did not use the sickle.
Mu You had already prepared for a fierce battle all night, but the remaining lifespan of the opponent was not much.
After killing thirty-one times, the vampire servant died suddenly.
On Lin Xue's side, 10 basic vampire skin fragments were collected during the killing process, and a set of 'vampire' skin was synthesized, but the effect was very weak. It can be said that nothing is better than talking.
Because Mu You already had the high-level skin of a vampire, he couldn't collect the fragments. However, his real goal was the skin left by this person.
【You searched around the place where the other party died, and found a set of 'Servant Rodney' skin and a 'Heart of Mist'. 】
[Servant Rodney: A low-level family member originally created by vampires, but it is rare to have a talent that is not weak. He was favored by the Rhine family and promoted to a family servant. to reuse.
Talent 'Survival of the Fittest': The lower the HP, the stronger the ability to adapt and resist extreme environments.
Curse the 'Scorching Sun': When exposed to sunlight, the body will experience the pain of burning fire.
Curse of 'greed': When seeing treasures owned by others, one will involuntarily covet them. The more precious the treasure, the easier it is to affect one's own sanity. 】
