Chapter 79 The door to the treasure house is slowly opening…
Cao Xing nodded, “Yes, the location shown on the coordinates is around here.”
After everyone listened, they looked around.
However, there doesn’t seem to be any treasure house door here, just huge boulders sliding down the hillside.
After some observation, no relevant clues were found.
Cao Xing fell into thinking.
Because the system will not make mistakes, according to the coordinates on the key, it is around here.
But they didn’t find it.
That means that this goblin treasure house is probably also a hidden area.
So, Cao Xing ordered: “Search the area to see if there are any hidden passages or anything like that.”
Andrew, Assam and others received the order and began to search around.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and they quickly searched every corner of the area.
A moment later, Sarah made the first discovery.
She stopped at the foot of the mountain, in front of a pile of collapsed rubble.
“I’m here, sensing weak magic fluctuations.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing’s eyes suddenly lit up. He controlled the crawler robot and came to Sarah’s side with a “clop”.
Perhaps because Cao Xing’s level is not high, he did not sense magic fluctuations here.
But Sarah wouldn’t lie.
So, he called the forklift robot over and ordered: “Shovel this pile of gravel away for me.”
The forklift robot immediately complied.
Buzz! The energy core begins to operate at full power.
Huge buckets pick up the rubble and transport it aside.
Pieces of gravel were shoveled away by it, gradually revealing the pile of gravel and the scene behind it.
Vaguely, Cao Xing seemed to see the corner of a gray door.
When the pile of rubble is completely removed.
Cao Xing saw a gray stone door about five meters high and three meters wide.
[Goblin Treasure House Gate]
[Armor: 500]
[Durability value: 100000/100000]
[With special effect 1: Intermediate damage reduction (reduces magic damage and physical damage received by 20%)]
[Included special effect 2: Continuous detonation, if forcibly broken, will cause the collapse of the treasure house passage. 】
…
“I’ll go, 100,000 points of durability, 500 armor, this door is really strong!”
With the strength of Cao Xing’s current men.
Except for Sarah and Baymax, everyone else’s attacks didn’t even cause much damage.
It would take a long time just to break through this door.
Moreover, because of the second special effect, this gate cannot be broken through with brute force.
If it is broken open forcibly, it will cause the passage inside to collapse.
Fortunately, Cao Xing came prepared.
He took out the [Goblin Treasure House Key] from his backpack and approached the treasure house door.
The system prompt appears as expected.
[Do you want to use the goblin treasure house key to open the treasure house door? 】
“yes.”
The next moment, the key in Cao Xing’s hand disappeared.
Crunch! Crunch! There was a sound of turning keys in Cao Xing’s ears.
A few seconds later, everyone felt a vibration under their feet.
“Boom! Boom!”
Cao Xing saw that the door of the treasure house was gradually rising.
Then a dark passage behind the door was faintly revealed.
With constant vibration.
A system prompt appears.
[The treasure house door is slowly opening…]
Boom! The ground shook constantly.
After about thirty seconds, the door was fully raised.
[You have discovered the hidden area: the underground palace of the goblins]
(Map introduction: A group of goblins who worshiped the ancient gods once lived here. They sacrificed many treasures to the gods of their faith. Until one day, the goblins’ sacrifices caused an unknown disaster to them. The goblins inside wanted to To curb the spread of this disaster, they chose to seal the entrance to the palace.) After reading the map introduction, Cao Xing was stunned.
“So it’s not a treasure house, but an underground palace?”
[Note: The Goblin Palace is a high-level area. It is recommended that at least 4 survivors with second-level strength form a team to explore. 】
Cao Xing frowned when he heard this system prompt.
It requires four survivors of level 2 or above to form a team, which means that the level of the monsters inside may be very high.
“There are ten second-level creatures under my command, including robots and Baymax.”
“And they all have my BUFF bonus, and their real combat power is much stronger than ordinary second-level creatures.”
“Based on this calculation, my combat power should be stronger than a team of four second-level survivors.”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing’s eyes lit up.
According to his calculations, his combat power should be enough to challenge this area.
Cao Xing made up his mind, that is, go in!
However, before entering, he can still improve his strength.
So, he took out the scroll.
[Should I use the Shire Shaman Recruitment Scroll? 】
“yes.”
The moment Cao Xing clicked OK, a choking smoke appeared in front of him.
This thick smoke seemed to be emitted from a large furnace, carrying a scorching temperature.
Strong magic fluctuations emanated from this humanoid creature.
After the smoke dissipated.
A creature with a black leopard head, a robe printed with bell flowers, and a long tail suddenly appeared.
“The war will never end, steel, blood, flames…”
“These are the main themes of war, reducing everything to ashes.”
“We embrace peace, but war leaves us homeless.”
“This lord, the Shire shaman: Blot Brimstone, reports to you.”
This is the Shire clan, which Cao Xing has seen once before.
He stepped off the back of the crawler robot, came to the tall Ciel, and said seriously: “Welcome, Brot, let us build a peaceful territory together.”
This time, Cao Xing was right.
This Shire’s eyes lit up immediately when he heard the word ‘peace’.
“My dear lord, do you also believe in peace?”
Cao Xing shook his head and said: “Brott, no one likes war, even those powerful knights.”
After hearing this, the Shire shaman asked excitedly: “Then this distinguished lord, I would like to know whether the future development of the territory can be biased toward scientific and technological research or agricultural planting?”
He said it sincerely, but it made Cao Xing fall into thinking.
What this shaman meant was to let him farm with peace of mind and not to fight often.
But obviously, this shaman’s idea was naive.
In this world where monsters are everywhere and dangers are always present, it is impossible not to fight.
Cao Xing shook his head and said: “Brott, you are wrong. The prerequisite for peace is to have enough power to crush the enemy.”
“If you don’t even have the strength to defend your territory, you will eventually be trampled to pieces by the hooves of the invaders.”
“Perhaps the war caused you to lose your home, your loved ones and everything, and even made you hate power.”
“But you have to know that power is not scary, but its owner is scary.”
When Brot Brimstone heard the last sentence, his cat eyes suddenly widened.
“The power is not scary…the scary thing is his master…”
“Power is not terrible…”
He kept mumbling, as if he had understood something.
Brent Brimstone said excitedly: “You are right, this Lord!”
“If at that time, I could have the strength of a sixth-level hero or even a legendary powerhouse, I could fight against the entire Blood Legion and prevent all tragedies from happening!”
“I want to have more powerful power, enough to shake the entire Shire Empire!”
“Thank you for your advice, wise lord!”
[Your territory member: Brot Brimstone was moved by your words, and his loyalty has been increased. Current loyalty: 71]
Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, looking at the surging fighting spirit in Ciel’s eyes with strange eyes.
He touched his chin and thought: “Why do you feel like I turned this peace defender into a war fanatic?”
Shaking his head, this is not a bad thing for Cao Xing.
Then, he checked the shaman’s attributes.
[Smoke Shaman: Blot Brimstone]
[Race: Charr]
[Level: Level 15 2731/50000 (second-level boss-level creature)]
[HP: 6720/6720]
[Attack power: 537~551]
[Armor: 131~142]
[Attributes: Strength 217, Agility 204, Spirit 253, Constitution 237]
[Skill: Black Smoke Totem (Place a Black Smoke Totem, and every 10 seconds, cast a thick smoke, making enemies in the surrounding area temporarily blinded. The totem duration is 30 seconds and the cooling time is 90 seconds.) Resonance Totem ( Place a resonance totem, which increases the critical hit rate and hit rate of all allies by 20%. The totem lasts for 100 seconds and has a cooldown time of 200 seconds) Smoke Impact (condensing a cloud of smoke, causing 144% damage to a single enemy. If it hits a friendly If used, the spirit will be restored * 1.5 health, cooling time 60 seconds) Black Smoke Storm (set off a violent black smoke storm, enemies in the black smoke storm will receive 88% of attack damage every second, and reduced The enemy has 50 points of agility, the storm lasts for 10 seconds, and the cooling time is 300 seconds)]
[Talent: Natural Selection]
[Satiety: 68]
【Loyalty: 71】
……
“So strong!”
Cao Xing sincerely praised: “He is truly a leader-level shaman!”
But it is a pity that the four skills of this shaman are all biased towards damage or totem skills, and there is no continuous BUFF skill.
As for the two totem skills.
The first [Black Smoke Totem] is obviously not a gain effect. This thing should not be buffed by [Eternal Power].
The second [Resonance Totem], although this is a gain effect, because the totem is a domain skill, the effect will only be obtained within the range of the totem.
So Cao Xing is not sure whether this thing can become a permanent state.
But then I thought about it, even if I can’t receive the bonus, it’s still pretty good. After all, the Black Smoke Shaman’s attributes are there.
Moreover, he now officially has four boss-level creatures, which can be said to be a surge in strength.
Then, as usual, he threw [Ice Armor], [Ice Healing], and [Frost Shield] at Brot Brimstone.
Then he asked Liu Muxue to bless him with two states.
Blot, like other territorial members, expressed his gratitude to Cao Xing and increased his loyalty by 6 points.
All of a sudden, his loyalty reached 77 points.
“Thank you, great lord and beautiful lord and lady.”
“Your power is as great as the gods.”
Cao Xing nodded and looked at the time.
[Distance to nightfall: 5 hours and 32 minutes…]
[Current temperature: -52℃]
There were still 5 hours of darkness, which was enough time for him to finish exploring the goblin treasure house and then return to the territory.
So, Cao Xing ordered: “Then, let us go in!”
