Chapter 166 Beautiful upgrade
"If this thing is full, I'm afraid it will cost tens of billions, right?" Shan Gu said with a twitching corner of his mouth.
"I don't know, but I guess it may not be enough." Liu Zhiyuan took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said: "This kind of thing is basically priceless! Those who can get it are basically warriors. As long as you are a warrior, it is basically impossible to sell it, unless the person who gets it has no hope of entering the master realm."
"Yes, for the truly rich, it is estimated that hundreds of billions are willing to spend." Ji Caiyi said quietly: "This thing not only improves the realm, but also increases life span!"
"So we got a treasure of immeasurable value?" Li Min still couldn't recover from the shock, and asked with a dull look.
This kind of impact is really too much for a girl!
It was simply incredible and completely beyond her knowledge of wealth.
"For us now, it is just a fortune, but for us in the future, it represents the future." Ji Caiyi looked at her and said.
The cyan low-grade spirit bead was passed around to everyone, and finally returned to Bai Muye's hand.
"Xiao Bai, this is yours." Ji Caiyi took a deep look at Bai Muye and said, "We have agreed long ago."
Bai Muye shook his head: "It belongs to all of us. Whoever steps into the master realm first will own it!"
Is it possible to enter the Grandmaster realm as soon as you want?
A group of teenagers looked at each other and said nothing.
How could it be so easy to break through the shackles of a ninth-level spiritual warrior? Otherwise, wouldn’t grandmaster-level experts be everywhere?
Even if you have a mine at home and can make money along the way, you still have to have that ability!
Besides, they can't even imagine how much this spirit bead is worth now, but it is certain to be tens of billions.
For such an expensive thing, even Ji Caiyi didn't dare to be as heroic as he was during the Intercity Mutated Dungeon, saying loudly that this thing belongs to me, and I'll pay everyone later.
Even rich ladies can’t afford it!
too expensive!
"After being activated once, I don't know how much spiritual power is left," Bai Muye said with some regret, "But it's better than nothing in the end."
Still awesome, okay?
The other five people looked at Bai Muye together, and even Si Yin's little eyes were very cute.
Everyone's spirits were completely lifted by this low-grade spirit bead.
Even Si Yin wasn't that scared anymore.
It's so cool to use this thing to refresh yourself.
"If we find a lot of these things, we can use them to continuously expand the spiritual sea, and use one to upgrade to a level. Haha, three of them can directly reach the ninth level. In the Feixian High School League, we can probably go all the way. Sweeped!" Shan Gu fantasized there.
"Stop dreaming. I don't know if there are so many low-grade spirit beads in the entire underground palace." Bai Muye poured a basin of cold water over.
"People always have to have some ideals and pursuits, right?" Shan Gu said with a smile.
A low-grade spirit bead made everyone excited.
Liu Zhiyuan, on the other hand, calmly reminded everyone: "Don't forget what happened just now."
Of course I won't forget that a group of vicious adventurers used conspiracy and tricks to harm them. If the captain hadn't been calm enough and Xiao Bai was decisive enough, they would have been tricked by others now!
This incident is imprinted on everyone's heart.
The third floor was too big, so they spent the next two days searching on the third floor.
It is a pity that the second low-grade spirit bead was not found, and other inheritances from ancient times were not found either.
On the contrary, I fought many battles with many terrifying underground creatures.
The fourth day of entering the underground palace.
A group of people finally decided to go to the fourth floor.
When they came to the entrance of Sanxiasi, they found traces of the battle.
There was a lot of blood on the ground, but nothing was left here.
Shan Gu volunteered, "I'll go down first to explore the road."
Liu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "I'll come."
As he said that, he took out his shield, put on his protective armor, glanced at the others, and said, "I'll go down first, then Shan Gu, then Xiao Bai, and the three of you will follow, let's go down together!"
After speaking, Liu Zhiyuan walked down the passage on the third floor.
The passage is long and... there are no lights.
The lighting equipment here has been damaged.
Even if there had been a battle here, it would not have destroyed all the lighting equipment. This was obviously done deliberately.
So everyone is very cautious.
Everyone tried their best to hold their breath and not make too much noise, but there were still slight footsteps.
After reaching the bottom floor, the light coming from below made everyone subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.
Shan Gu whispered from behind Bai Muye: "Pay attention!"
Whoosh!
Bang!
Before Shan Gu finished speaking, he heard a loud noise.
An arrow hit Liu Zhiyuan's shield hard.
Then, a series of shrill sounds broke through the air, and countless arrows shot at Liu Zhiyuan, who was holding a large shield.
The huge metal collision sound formed a roaring sound, as if there were thousands of troops below.
Liu Zhiyuan's path forward was almost completely blocked.
Because of the angle, everyone could not see what was going on below. They could only follow the gap and see a large number of arrows shooting towards here crazily.
Liu Zhiyuan had to step back.
The speed of his retreat was not too fast, leaving enough time for everyone behind him to react.
The arrows finally stopped.
Before everyone could recover, a series of dense footsteps sounded, with neat sounds and consistent movements.
When everyone saw it, their expressions changed a bit.
There were hundreds of skeleton soldiers holding weapons and shields, walking towards them in uniform order.
"Go back!" Liu Zhiyuan whispered.
Then everyone began to retreat towards the third floor.
But before walking too far, I heard a burst of footsteps coming from behind.
There's someone behind you!
This shocked everyone.
They walked almost all over the third floor, and they also did a lot of inspection work before coming down.
I only came down after making sure everything was safe.
Why did a group of enemies appear behind him in such a short time?
What's happening here?
"Charge out!" Liu Zhiyuan suddenly quickened his pace, held up his shield, and rushed downwards. He waved the mad dragon sword in his hand and started fighting with the group of skeleton warriors who rushed in.
Click!
Click!
Waving the Mad Dragon Sword and using the Wind and Thunder Slash, Liu Zhiyuan rushed down like a mad warrior.
A large number of skeleton warriors were chopped into pieces.
Bai Muye kept tapping the spiritual power replenishing talisman towards Liu Zhiyuan.
The arrows in Shan Gu's hand kept shooting out.
Si Yin's face was tense and hesitant, and the hand holding the Sky-Splitting Hammer was trembling slightly.
Finally, she stepped forward quickly and shouted: "Shan Gu, get out of the way!"
When Shan Gu was slightly startled, Si Yin rushed forward, using Liu Zhiyuan's shield as a cover, swung the Sky-Splitting Hammer in his hand, and smashed it towards the skeleton soldiers.
Click!
Click!
Click!
With a series of bones breaking sounds, these skeleton soldiers, who were probably at the level of intermediate warriors, were smashed to pieces one by one.
At this time, the skeleton soldiers behind him also began to show up.
Shan Gu and Ji Caiyi turned around instantly and protected Li Min.
Ji Caiyi used Ghost Flash to quickly kill the skeleton soldiers rushing in front.
Shan Gu was on the sidelines to support him.
Li Min also took out a spiritual power replenishing charm to replenish the spiritual power of the two of them.
In this way, the six people quickly rushed to the fourth floor.
When they saw the situation on the fourth floor clearly, their scalps were numb.
As far as the eye can see, they are all densely packed with skeletons!
The bones of some skeletons are particularly bright and shimmering. Others are relatively dim, and a few skeletons are missing arms and legs. It is unknown what happened to them during their lifetime.
The empty eye sockets of all the skeletons were burning with fire.
The whole scene gives people an extremely weird feeling.
"Is this an illusion or real?" Shan Gu asked Bai Muye as he kept shooting arrows to block the skeleton behind him.
Bai Muye said: "They are all made of energy. If we can't find the mechanism, they are all real! Unless we can find that place."
"Then look for it quickly! If we find it, we can still harvest a bead!" Shan Gu said loudly.
Bai Muye was speechless, thinking to himself, why are you so easy to find when you think you are a pearl?
However, the illusion appeared here and was activated. Someone must have triggered the mechanism here.
Well, there should really be a bead in this place.
Bai Muye began to search hard.
It's easy to say, but actually not easy to find.
They could find it before because the mechanism was in the room where they were temporarily resting.
It can be deduced based on the magic circle.
But the fourth floor is different from the first three floors. They are all huge palaces. God knows which palace the mechanism will be placed in.
And looking around, there are skeleton warriors holding weapons and shields everywhere. They are so densely packed that it is not easy to find a way out.
Although the level of these skeleton warriors is not high individually, there are thousands of them.
There are so many skeleton soldiers at the level of intermediate warriors, even if they are piled up abruptly, it is not something they can handle.
If Bai Muye's mental power had not been sealed, it shouldn't be difficult, but now... it's too difficult!
"You can only search one by one."
Bai Muye made some calculations based on the formation's eye settings and said: "Go to the hall on the left!"
To the left of the entrance to the fourth floor is a huge palace. The door is open at the moment, and skeleton soldiers are constantly coming out of it.
Liu Zhiyuan held up his shield and slashed while saying with a wry smile: "Even the dungeon in the virtual world doesn't have such crazy scenes, right?"
"So reality will never be logical and will not make sense to you." Bai Muye was replenishing spiritual power for him and Si Yin, and responded with the same depressed look.
The six people finally fought their way through and entered the palace on the left.
At a glance, everyone saw a huge golden throne at the end of the palace.
"Oh... is that made of gold?" Shan Gu couldn't help complaining as he fired the arrow: "Why didn't the field troops of the City Guards move it away?"
The throne indeed seems to be made of gold, the color is so pure!
There are not that many skeleton soldiers here, but they feel that their combat power is higher than those outside.
After calling in, Liu Zhiyuan said: "Close the door!"
The door of the palace opened inward, and Bai Muye and Shan Gu immediately rushed over and closed the door.
Liu Zhiyuan and Si Yin desperately resisted the skeleton warriors swarming in from outside.
Ji Caiyi and Li Min blocked the skeleton warriors in the hall.
The palace door made a heavy creaking sound and was slowly closing.
When there was only a gap of more than two meters, Liu Zhiyuan and Si Yin retreated at the same time. Bai Muye and Shan Gu each pushed a door and slammed it shut.
Bang!
Bang!
With two heavy bangs, the palace door was closed by them.
Over there, Liu Zhiyuan casually took the heavy metal door latch and locked the door.
There were constant heavy blows from outside.
No one had time to rest and began to clean up the skeleton warriors in the hall.
After more than ten minutes, these skeleton warriors were finally cleared away.
Several people were so tired that they almost collapsed to the ground.
"Brother Bai, look quickly, can you find the formation eye here..." Shan Gu sat down on the ground, breathing heavily and said loudly.
Bai Muye looked around, using his mental power to explore bit by bit.
Finally his eyes fell on the throne.
"It's not over there, is it?" Shan Gu was a little surprised and followed Bai Muye's gaze.
The throne seems to be integrated with the earth, and there is no sign of any possible mechanism.
Bai Muye shook his head, and then walked towards the throne step by step.
Boom!
A loud noise came from outside the palace door.
The door shook violently from the impact, and everyone subconsciously looked back.
Bai Muye ignored it and patted the armrest. Finally, he found a place and patted it gently.
The noisy sounds outside suddenly disappeared.
All of a sudden it went from extremely noisy to audible.
The friends didn’t know how many times they were shocked.
"No, you are... too powerful, aren't you? Is this the science of magic formation?" Liu Zhiyuan was speechless.
"Are all talisman seal masters like this?" Ji Caiyi looked at Li Min.
Li Min's fair and beautiful face showed confusion that was even stronger than Ji Caiyi's, and she shook her head: "No... I have never learned these things!"
At this time, Bai Muye dug out a blue bead from under the armrest of the throne.
But as soon as the bead reached his hand, it turned into powder and disappeared into ashes.
"It's a bead that has completely lost its energy. This bead is placed here on the armrest of the throne. It should be used to control these skeleton soldiers." Bai Muye sighed with regret.
I still don’t know how these skeleton soldiers were awakened, and who triggered the mechanism here.
But unfortunately, the beads no longer have energy, and they may have been released too hard.
Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Okay, don't feel sorry. We can't catch up with all the good things."
Although everyone felt a little regretful, they also knew that their luck was good enough.
Several people rested in the main hall for a while, but there was absolutely no movement outside.
Liu Zhiyuan unlocked the door bolt, carefully opened a door, and looked out.
It was empty outside, nothing.
The dense skeletal warriors just now seemed like they had never appeared before.
"It seems that wherever these skeletons appear, there should be beads, but it's hard to say how much energy is left in the beads." Liu Zhiyuan analyzed.
"The key is who summoned these skeletons?" Ji Caiyi looked confused: "The people from the city guard told us that several teams had come down. In fact, we have seen that one in the past few days. Team. Where are the other teams?”
"Do you suspect that these skeletons were awakened by someone when they came down to search for things?" Shan Gu looked at Ji Caiyi and asked.
Ji Caiyi nodded: "I think it should be like this. They accidentally activated the mechanism and ran away after discovering the abnormality."
Bai Muye looked at the other palaces. Almost every one of them was exactly the same.
The fourth floor is even more gigantic. If you want to walk through every palace one by one, half a month would probably not be enough.
Who lived in these palaces back then?
Will they also be arranged in the order of the magic circle?
Bai Muye thought and glanced at Shan Gu: "Climb to the top of the hall, take some photos and show them to me."
Shan Gu: "..."
Although Xiaobai didn't know what was going on, he still climbed up obediently.
To him, this height is really childish. In a short time, various photos were passed to Bai Muye.
Based on these photos, Bai Muye opened the information they had obtained before and began to compare.
"What are you doing? Looking for patterns?" Shan Gu couldn't help but ask.
Bai Muye nodded without saying anything and continued comparing.
"I suddenly feel like I am illiterate." Shan Gu said mockingly.
After a while, Bai Muye discovered some patterns. He stood up and said, "Let's go to the next palace."
According to his guess, Bai Muye and others visited five or six palaces in succession, but found nothing.
In each palace, there is a throne, which looks like it is made of pure gold. However, after testing with the inspection equipment Liu Zhiyuan carried, it was found that these thrones were only plated with a layer of gold.
"If it is really made of gold, the group of people who came in before will not let it go." Liu Zhiyuan said to everyone after testing.
Gold is still a precious metal today. Its formation conditions are very harsh, but its magic properties are very good. It is one of the indispensable materials used to make some spiritual weapons.
"It is estimated that there was a king in every palace here back then." Shan Gu guessed there.
Although they searched several halls and found nothing, no one was discouraged.
There was a low-grade spirit bead at the bottom. Their trip was a big profit.
When the ninth palace was searched, Bai Muye finally found something here!
This time, the mechanism is not on the throne, but on the mural on the wall.
What was painted on it should be a prehistoric giant beast, which looked similar to a lion. It was covered with long fiery red hair, and its eyes were like copper bells. It bulged outwards and opened its bloody mouth, revealing the sharp fangs inside.
The mechanism is set on the tip of the tail of this red-haired lion, and only a person like Xiao Bai who is proficient in magic circles and mechanisms can find any clues.
If you were someone who didn’t understand, you probably wouldn’t be able to find it.
Bai Muye walked over and gently pressed the tip of the tail of the mural lion, and suddenly there was a strong roar under everyone's feet.
Then, the ground in the middle of the hall was separated, and a device like an elevator slowly rose from below.
Buzz!
There was a buzzing sound in the hall, and the device seemed to be running, making a buzzing sound.
At this moment, Shan Gu suddenly shouted: "Everyone get down!"
boom!
A violent wave suddenly erupted on the device. Not a bomb or anything like that, but a pure wave of energy.
But very turbulent!
None of the six people could stand firm.
If this energy were stronger, the defensive talismans on their bodies might be activated.
"What is this?" Shan Gu asked Bai Muye while lying on the ground, "Do you know it?"
Bai Muye smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although he had a lot of knowledge about ancient civilizations, he was not a real encyclopedia. There were always things he couldn't understand.
For example, Bai Muye had no idea what this device was used for.
You can't even pretend to understand this thing if you don't understand it.
After the fluctuation, the device remained quiet and motionless.
The six people slowly gathered around and saw clearly the specific appearance of the device.
This is a polyhedron, like crystal, crystal clear.
The powerful energy fluctuation just now came from this thing.
Bai Muye stretched out a hand and placed it carefully.
Then, he began to perceive with his mental power.
A large piece of strange text suddenly appeared in my mind.
Even though he had done some research on ancient texts, he still felt incompetent when facing these texts.
At this time, waves of energy fluctuations came from the crystal-like device again.
There were more strange words in Bai Muye's mind.
"Are you communicating with me?" Bai Muye smiled bitterly, speechless. The key was that he didn't understand!
He tried to use his mental power to establish a connection with this thing, but there was no response from the other party.
"This should be some kind of artifact from ancient civilization, probably equivalent to our current artificial intelligence?" Ji Caiyi asked doubtfully as she circled the device.
The beautiful girl suddenly said to Bai Muye in the earphone: "You can try to connect me in."
"Ah? Is it too dangerous?" Bai Muye didn't want to try something so uncertain.
"There's no danger, don't worry." Da Mei said.
If the timid Da Mei can say this, there shouldn't be any danger.
Bai Muye then connected his personal brain with the grasping device, and the next moment, a beautiful exclamation came from the earphones.
"What a good thing!"
"You can give me an upgrade!"
The beautiful lady said and immediately became silent.
Holy shit!
Where are people?
Bai Muye almost shouted out loud.
These friends around me don't know that there is such a beautiful person.
They all looked at Bai Muye's actions with blank expressions.
The beauty didn't say much for a long time, so Bai Muye could only wait for her here.
About ten minutes later, the beautiful voice sounded in Bai Muye's ears excitedly: "It can really upgrade me. I can calculate faster than before!"
"What is this?" Bai Muye asked doubtfully.
"I don't know, but it is useful to me anyway. If you can find more of this kind of thing, my ability will be a qualitative leap compared to before. I should be able to easily break the defense of the secondary main city!"
The big beauty is full of confidence.
But...what are we going to do if we have nothing to do to break the defense of the secondary main city?
We are law-abiding and good citizens, so don’t always think about doing bad things.
Bai Muye withdrew his brain and watched as the crystal device, which had no apparent energy fluctuations, sank little by little.
"That's it? We didn't get anything?" Shan Gu looked unwilling.
Several other friends also watched with some reluctance as the crystal device completely sank into the ground.
The ground returned to its previous state again.
"Let's go." Bai Muye didn't bother to explain the beautiful upgrade. It was better not to talk about it.
In the following days, Bai Muye kept making inferences based on the operation of the magic circle, and found four things similar to that crystal device.
Every time he would let the beautiful lady secretly upgrade her.
Until the last time, the beautiful girl said she was going to sleep for a while.
"I have a feeling that after I wake up this time, I will become many times stronger than before!" The beautiful lady said confidently, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Other than that, Bai Muye and others found nothing.
At this time, twelve days had passed since they entered the underground palace.
According to their gains, they are still the real winners. Even if the low-grade spirit bead does not have much spiritual power, it is still a top-grade treasure.
"It would be great if we could find an ancient statue that can improve spiritual power." On the morning of the thirteenth day, Shan Gu said while groping around in boredom.
At this moment, he suddenly stopped and whispered, "Be careful!"
A group of people suddenly walked out from the corner.
