Chapter 433 The Broken Magic Lamp
"Boom!"
In the diffuse sandstorm, the clear crackling sound echoed over the Gobi, making the hearts of all the soldiers below jump.
The entrance to the manticore lair is open!
On the other side, the manticore realized that his territory had been breached, and became even more furious. He wanted to fly towards the cave regardless, but was entangled in place by the bone dragon, unable to escape for a while.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the two giant beasts hurting each other, everyone also subconsciously turned their targets to the lair above.
For example, Evans, since the entrance has been opened, there is nothing to hesitate. The most important thing is to grab the magic lamp before the opponent.
Evans immediately turned around and rushed towards the cave on the cliff.
A group of elite soldiers followed him and moved towards the entrance of the cave.
However, just before everyone rushed to the cave, they were about to rush in.
Within the cover of sand and dust, another loud roar suddenly sounded.
Followed by a huge palm surrounded by black shadows, it protruded from the sand and took pictures of everyone.
"Shadow Ghost!"
Evans reacted the fastest, narrowly dodging the blow with his super agility.
But the soldiers behind him were not so lucky. When they found that there was a giant beast in front of them, they had no room to hide. Hundreds of people crowded together, and were slapped away by the shadow ghost without falling.
After the blow, the shadow ghost found that there was still a fish that slipped through the net, and immediately let out a low growl, and swung his claws again to grab Evans on the ground.
It's a pity that it still underestimates Evans' speed.
Even though Shadow Ghost uses both claws to grab with all his strength, Evans can always slip away from the opponent's claws like a loach.
After some dodging and moving, Evans jumped up in one step, stepped on the shadow ghost's shoulder, and disappeared into the cave behind.
This humiliating act made Shadow Ghost furious, but he had no choice but to give up temporarily and turn around to stop others. The task Muyou gave it was to help the bone dragon deal with the manticore, and at the same time block the entrance of the cave as much as possible, so as not to let others enter.
Shadow Ghost leaned back directly in front of the cave, blocking the entrance of the cave behind him.
The lion and the dragon fighting in the distance also gradually approached the cave entrance tacitly during the fight, giving the shadow ghost a chance to join the battle.
For a while, the three giant beasts fought together completely. You scratched my paw, I punched you back, and you bit it. The scene was quite chaotic.
However, in terms of combat power, the manticore is obviously superior. The shadow ghost and the bone dragon are two against one, and they can only draw with the manticore, and it is difficult to tell the winner in a short time.
As for the other ordinary people present, they were completely dumbfounded at this time.
Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded the cave one after another, looking at each other in blank dismay. In this situation, should they continue to attack?
If you do it, it took three days and three nights to deal with a manticore before half of the blood was wiped out, but now you have to deal with three at a time, and take the lead?
What's more, some people have already entered the cave. When they finish fighting, it is estimated that the ownership of the magic lamp has long been settled.
In the end, the commander could only give an order to 'wait and see what happens'. So tens of thousands of troops surrounded the cliff in this way, watching the giant beasts fight.
…
【You have entered the manticore lair! 】
【In front of your eyes is a golden cave. 】
【The entire cave is surrounded by piles of gold and silver treasures, which makes your greed hard to contain, and you unconsciously stretch out your hand towards the golden holy grail closest to you...】
【You picked up the Golden Holy Grail. You have suffered the 'curse of greed', your vitality is rapidly passing away, and your lifespan is -1000 years! 】
【All the treasures in this cave have been cursed with greed by the manticore. Anything you take away will deduct 500-1000 years of your lifespan according to the value! 】
"Depend on!"
Mu You hurriedly backtracked.
This curse is a bit scary. If you touch it for 1000 years, Mu You can't afford to offend it.
But in this way, wouldn’t the lifespan be deducted for taking away the magic lamp in the end?
Mu You didn't have time to think about it. At this moment, a new prompt popped up in the game.
【You walk towards the depths of the cave. 】
【You seem to have stepped on some kind of mechanism, and countless scarabs drilled out of the surrounding gold bottles and rushed towards you. 】
【The spiral gun barrel emerges above your arms, dense tongues of flame spurt out rapidly, and all the scarabs that approach you burst into death with a hissing sound...】
Before coming to attack the manticore lair this time, Mu You went to Eternal Night City on purpose to get back the ancient power furnace and forest core.
No way, when the vampire skin cannot be used, the mecha skin is the best combat skin for him.
【You are about to continue to go deeper into the cave, when several crescent-shaped sword qi suddenly strike from behind you. 】
【You couldn’t dodge it enough, you were hit by sword energy, and your body was damaged in many places, the current body integrity: 76.5%...】
"Is it still after you..." Mu You sighed, not too surprised.
He specially brought shadow ghosts here this time, but with shadow ghosts alone, it is still very difficult to stop a human being who is also at level 30.
【Time flies, you go back to before the sword. 】
【The sword qi surged again, you dodged in advance to a safe direction, and finally narrowly avoided all the sword qi. 】
【Your right arm quickly transforms into a 'floating machine gun', facing the direction where the sword energy is flying, a string of straight tongues of flame are sprayed out. 】
【One hundred floating bombs lined up in a straight line and shot towards the people flying in the distance. However, what followed was a series of sounds of gold and iron clanging. 】
【You saw with your own eyes that Evans in iron armor smashed all the floating bombs with incredible precision and speed. 】
"???"
Mu You looked confused.
It was the first time he had seen someone deal with the floating machine gun like this, smashing a hundred bullets in five seconds, how fast is that?
【Evans avoided your attack perfectly, and then rushed towards you with a broadsword in his hand. 】
【You are locked on by some kind of murderous intent, and your whole body becomes sluggish. Evans appears beside you like teleportation, slashing at you with a sword, and you can't dodge it...】
【Just as Evans was about to hit, three arrows from behind, wrapped in the power of the wind, shot through the air one after another. Even Evans had to avoid the sharp edge, so he had to cancel the attack and retreat temporarily. 】
【You took the opportunity to escape and threw a repelling grenade at Evans by taking advantage of the blind spot. 】
【Evans seemed to have eyes behind his back. With a flick of his wrist, the sword slashed across and knocked the grenade out into the air with the blade. 】
【The repelling grenade whose flight path was changed happened to fly towards the shadow wolf who was collecting arrows in the distance...】
【The next second, a repulsive air wave erupted. Even though the shadow wolf reacted quickly and rolled to dodge ahead of time, he was still hit behind by the repulsive force of the explosion, and was pushed into the smoke and dust, his life and death unknown...]
"Depend on…"
Mu You was extremely surprised. It's okay to split a string of floating bullets before, but it's still an understandable action.
But things like grenades usually explode when they encounter obstacles. The opponent actually kept the grenade unexploded, but instead accurately drew the grenade towards the shadow wolf, turning it into a weapon to kill with a knife... This can only explain the opponent His strength control has reached an incredible level!
When he came back to his senses, Mu You couldn't help frowning.
He didn't ask Lin Xue to help in this operation. On the one hand, it was because she was still cultivating, and on the other hand, the duration of her death skin was too short, so it could only be used as a trump card. It would be a waste to use it here.
So Mu You didn't disturb her at all, but called Shadow Wolf to help.
And Mu You himself, although he was not personally present, but the mecha skin is compatible with the game system. He was not inferior to fighting an army of mechas alone in Clockwork City before.
Now that the two of them are two against one, Mu You thought that they should be stable, but in the end they were slapped in the face.
Obviously, Evans also has rich combat experience. He didn't see any magic during the whole process. He relied on one person and one sword, with a mortal body, so he could still gain the upper hand with one enemy and two.
It was only then that Mu You realized that a fighter like Evans, who had been trained on the battlefield all year round, was a master who could truly represent the top combat power of the human race. Level, but not much practical experience of parallel imports.
Fortunately, it is not so easy for Evans to subdue the two of them in a short time.
【You activated the sand spider nest, densely packed sand spiders gushed out of you, and explored the depths of the cave...】
【You switched the fighting circuit and fought with Evans in close combat...】
Next, Mu You cooperated with Shadow Wolf and Evans to entangle near the entrance of the cave, buying time for the sand spiders to find the magic lamp.
Fortunately, the magic lamp was not deliberately hidden by the manticore, but placed without any cover on the most conspicuous stone platform deep in the cave.
As soon as the sand spiders entered the nest, they immediately sent him back the trace of the magic lamp.
【With the cover of the shadow wolf, you carry the cannon and blast out. The light and shadow of the cannon engulfed Evans...]
【Put away the cannon barrel, you immediately turn around and run towards the depths of the nest against the wall. The walking wall mechanical feet under your feet provide you with super high stability, even in caves with many debris, you can move as if walking on the ground...]
【You entered the depths of the manticore's lair, and saw the golden lamp on the stone platform in the center of the lair at a glance! 】
【This is a gold pot lamp inlaid with a large number of precious stones. It is still radiant in the dim light in the cave, showing a fascinating charm! 】
【Miracle lamp: A lamp exuding infinite charm, one of the legendary artifacts of the lamp god, whoever gets it can get the chance to make a wish to the lamp god! 】
"Is it really a magic lamp?"
Mu You was surprised. He didn't expect to find the magic lamp so smoothly. The troubadour who he had been guarding against before didn't appear to make trouble...
At this time, Mu You didn't have time to think about it. The magic lamp was close at hand, so he had no reason not to take it. As for the curse of longevity in the magic lamp meeting... compared to the value of a magic weapon, what is a mere thousand-year lifespan?
【Looking at the treasure so close at hand, you don’t care and run towards the stone platform quickly! 】
【But an afterimage came first, and rushed to the side of the stone platform at a speed that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye. It was Evans who snatched the magic lamp from the stone platform! 】
【Looking back, the shadow wolf behind you is half kneeling on the ground, with blood on the corners of its lips, and has been seriously injured by Evans...】
Mu You's eyelids twitched. It seemed that Evans had been holding back until the moment when every second was counting against the lights, when he suddenly broke out, severely injured the Shadow Wolf with one move, and then came from behind and snatched the magic lamp.
Mu You hurriedly backtracked and switched to a vampire skin. At this time, only 'Super Speed' can change the result.
【You switched the vampire marquis skin, daydreaming curse attack, you become drowsy, listless, unable to lift up your energy. 】
【You activated the super speed, and everything around you slowed down instantly. 】
【You saw Evans passing by you while maintaining a running posture. In the slow-motion time, Evans turned his head to look at you with a feeling, and your eyes met in mid-air. 】
【Evans surpassed you! 】
【You try hard to catch up, but because of your drowsy body, your feet are floating, it is difficult to catch up with his steps...】
"Ah this?"
Mu You almost thought that he had misread it. After putting it down at a speed 360 times faster, his speed was still behind Evans...
Is this guy still human?
Before he had time to think about it, Mu You hurriedly changed his strategy.
If you can’t compete in speed, then you can only use magic!
【You released 'Shape Shift', and when Evans was about to touch the magic lamp, you switched positions with him! 】
【You grabbed the magic lamp on the stone platform! 】
【You triggered the greed trap, lifespan -1000 years...】
Sure enough, life was deducted, but fortunately, Mu You was already mentally prepared, and there was no accident at this time.
What really surprised him was the hint that the Omniscient Crystal gave back.
【Start with the pot lamp, but you don’t feel the magical power that the artifact should have from it. This seems to be just an ordinary lamp with no appearance...】
"Huh?"
Mu You frowned, this kind of reminder, could it be that this magic lamp is fake?
Reminiscent of the mysterious troubadour before, Mu You felt more and more that there might be something wrong with the lamp.
Before he could think about it, the text prompted Evans to see that he had snatched the lamp, and was already rushing towards him like crazy. Mu You simply went back according to the table, and canceled the casting, and planned to let Evans get the magic lamp first. what happens.
Otherwise, if it is really a fake, it would be a shame to deduct a thousand years of his life in vain!
【Time flies, you stay where you are, watching Evans rush to the stone platform and **** the magic lamp! 】
【Evans, who got the magic lamp, did not hesitate, the raging destructive energy in his hand instantly condensed, and smashed the magic lamp to the ground with the momentum of thunder. 】
【With a crisp crash, the magic lamp shattered! 】
"Really decisive..."
Mu You was speechless. No matter how you say it is an artifact, Evans really doesn't have any greed, he just destroys it without even looking at it!
Honestly speaking, he doesn’t have this kind of courage. Even if he stands in Evans’ position, after getting the magic lamp, he must put it away first to see the situation. Destroying the magic lamp is a choice only when there is no other way out…
【A cloud of blue smoke suddenly emerged from the shattered magic lamp, and condensed into the appearance of a person on the stone platform in front. 】
【"It's you?" You heard Evans' surprised voice. 】
[Accompanied by the sound of strings, the troubadour appeared on the stone platform, raised his legs, plucked the handqin in his arms, and sang to the accompaniment: "Two warriors, stay safe and don't be impatient. I would like to sit down and listen Shall I sing a song?”]
The magic lamp is indeed a fake!
Mu You immediately confirmed this.
That is to say, the information that the troubadour provided to the two of them was false: there is no real magic lamp in the manticore's lair. The other party said so just to attract the two of them to come here to achieve a certain purpose.
But at this time, after smashing the fake magic lamp, the troubadour appeared directly... It seems that the other party is not afraid of them making trouble for him.
【"Who on earth are you?" Evans held the sword in his hand, but did not attack immediately, but pointed to the troubadour and asked. 】
【"Two, let me re-introduce, my name is Ifrit, and mortals are used to calling me the 'God of Lamp'." The troubadour sang. 】
This guy is the lamp god?
Mu You was taken aback for a moment, but it made sense in this way. No wonder the troubadour knew so many things about him the first time he met him.
Mu You suddenly remembered the previous text of the troubadour when he first appeared. So, the real miraculous lamp is the broken oil lamp hanging on his waist?
【"Are you the lamp god? Then who is Caesar?" You asked. 】
【"Caesar, just a villain who stole my divine power!" The troubadour said with a flat smile. 】
【"Caesar was sealed by you?" Evans suddenly put away his sword, as if he had recognized the identity of the other party's lamp god, and his tone became respectful when facing the bard. 】
[The troubadour shook his head and smiled wryly: "After I was stolen by Caesar, I no longer sealed his power. It was he himself who was greedy and broke into the retirement place I built for myself in order to get back the magic pen. The lamp **** Illusion, this is why I took the opportunity to be trapped in it."]
【"Pen of Order?" You heard the interesting information and hurriedly asked. 】
【"Yes." The troubadour looked at you and said seriously: "I am not only the **** of lamps, but also the most loyal servant of the **** of order. After the will of the **** of order died, I obeyed the wishes of the master and He selects an heir. Caesar was my second-generation heir, but unfortunately, he is not a qualified heir to order, and the power of order made him lose himself.”]
【"And you are the third generation heir who may replace Caesar."】
