No one would have imagined that Ruhl would have saved so much money without witnessing it with his own eyes.
Although it was still far away and it was difficult to see how much money was there, just by the light of the gems, one could tell that it was a large pile of money.
Golden, a pile of gold coins.
"I never thought... gold coins can also be described as a 'pile'." Palin's eyes straightened and he murmured to himself.
"This guy must have kept most of the wealth he stole," Gerrard said.
Renn was relatively the calmest among the three. Perhaps due to the professional habits of thieves, he immediately looked away from the pile of gold coins and looked at the ground nearby.
Then he took out a magic wand for lighting.
This simple magic product can provide a stable cold light source for a long time. It neither consumes air and causes suffocation nor is it afraid of flooding. Apart from being a little expensive, it is almost a perfect lighting tool for adventurers.
Under the slightly blue-white cold light source, the old thief carefully checked the ground and quickly found several traps.
Yes, a few traps, and there are probably more to come.
"Bloody Hand Ruhr is so cruel! He has clearly locked the entrance to the treasure with a magic circle, but he still wants to set up a trap inside the treasure!" Gerald said angrily, "Dark! It's too dark!"
"It's not surprising that many treasure hoarders have this problem." Ren said lightly, "When I went on an adventure, I found a hundred traps in a necromancer's treasure house."
He spoke so lightly that Gerald and Palin turned green.
There are actually a hundred traps in a treasure house? ! With so many traps activated, not to mention lives, not even corpses can be left!
"What happened next?" Palin asked.
"It's okay. Two teammates died and the trap was dismantled." Ren said still lightly, "After dividing the money, I will retire."
The topic temporarily cooled down, but Renn did not rush forward to dismantle the trap. Instead, he fixed the magic wand on the wall next to him with glue, then turned back and searched for the place where they were teleported.
"What are you looking for?" Gerald asked.
"Leave the mechanism here." Ren didn't even raise his head. "You should use teleportation magic to enter and leave here. Find the mechanism to leave first and make sure it can be activated at any time. If something unexpected happens, you will have time to escape."
The two of them were in awe of Lao Jianghu's rich experience, but this made them a little embarrassed. There is a trap in front, and there is no way to go behind. We can only advance or retreat in this small place.
Palin was okay. He took out a book and read it under the steady and soft cold light of the magic wand. Gerald felt uncomfortable. He was huge, so standing here was a bit cramped, and he couldn't move around. He was really embarrassed.
He deliberately picked up the ax and broke some of the surrounding rocks, but he was afraid that breaking the rocks would cause a collapse and bury everyone alive. In the end, he had no choice but to sit down with his knees in his arms, and soon started to yawn.
Time passed bit by bit, and Renn was always working in an orderly manner. Palin finished reading a book, put it back in his backpack, and took out another one, this time a magic book. He read it carefully while , while using your fingers to draw magic lines in the air and do some basic research.
As for Gerald, he had fallen asleep because he was too bored.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a flash of green light, and Ren exclaimed, his body was covered by the green light, and he disappeared without a trace in an instant. Immediately afterwards, the teleportation magic circle on the ground that he had been working on for a long time emitted a fierce bright light, exploded into pieces with a bang, and more red poisonous gas rose up, spreading in the blink of an eye, covering both Gerald and Palin. Got in.
Gerald was sleeping soundly when he breathed in a big mouthful of poisonous gas, coughed violently, and woke up with a sudden choking. He opened his eyes and saw that in the cold light of the lighting magic wand, Palin was curled up on the ground with a face full of pain, his hands clawing out the blood from his throat, but it did not help his predicament.
This young mage, a boy who loved reading, died.
Gerald was stunned for a moment, then turned to look for Ren, but found no trace of the old thief.
"What's going on? Where is Ren? This trap is..."
The highly toxic gas filled his trachea and lungs, causing him to cough violently again. From his nose and mouth to his throat to his trachea and alveoli, a not intense but very uncomfortable feeling interrupted his thoughts.
Being able to survive in the poison to this day without actually being fatally injured, the powerful body built by Sui Xiong himself once again proved its superiority. However, Gerald didn't expect this at all at this moment. His mind was full of doubts, shock and anger, and he was even more confused, not knowing what was going on.
"Your Majesty..." He tried to pray, but he didn't know what to pray for.
When he was praying, Sui Xiong, who had been focusing on research, was awakened. The veins of the soul spread along the bone bracelet, and the situation here was clearly seen.
"What's going on? Aren't they going to hunt for treasure? Why is there only one of the three left? One is dead, and the other one is so dead that there is no body left?"
While talking to himself, he activated his magic power and turned it into a breeze to disperse the poisonous mist.
However, this poisonous mist was very strange. Not only did it not dissipate when the wind blew, but it became thicker and thicker. The red mist filled the entire cave where the treasure was hidden, almost to the point where it was almost impossible to see even one's fingers.
"Damn! I encountered smog after traveling through time. The Environmental Protection Bureau of this world is fighting against the five scum!" Sui Xiong muttered, carefully analyzing the composition of the poisonous mist, and then his magic power suddenly shook and turned into a soft circle. The green light slowly dispersed.
This time, the power of the green light happened to cancel out the magic power that made up the poisonous mist. When the green light reached it, the red poisonous mist disappeared.
Like magic, the green halo of light swept around the treasure cave, and the red poisonous mist disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
"Gerald, what on earth is going on?"
"Your Majesty, I... I don't know either..." Gerald said anxiously, "I just slept and woke up like this."
"...You can also sleep during the treasure hunt. You are so talented!" Sui Xiong sighed, "Then I have to ask others."
Is there anyone else I can ask? Gerald was stunned.
I saw a misty black energy emanating from the bone bracelet and slowly spreading in the air. A gloomy, obscure and uneasy atmosphere filled the air, making people feel heavy in their hearts.
After a while, countless tiny points of light rose up from the dead Palin's body and slowly gathered into a vague human shape.
"Your Majesty, is this Palin's soul?"
"No, it's just the thoughts that remain in the body." Sui Xiong said, "His soul has gone to the kingdom of the dead, but memory does not only exist in the soul, the body will also retain the memory. Now I will put him in the body The remaining thoughts on his body were activated, and then re-energized his physical body. In this way... "
"He was resurrected?" Gerald asked excitedly.
Sui Xiong hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
If on earth, a person's body is restored to vitality and his mind is revived, he will of course be resurrected. Even in the face of academic leaders who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, he dared to declare this with his head held high.
But in this world, life is not only a matter of the body, but also a more important factor of the soul. Palin's soul has gone to the underworld. Unless the soul is brought back from the underworld and reinserted into this resurrected body, it cannot be said to be "resurrected."
Now Palin, strictly speaking, is actually a walking corpse without a soul.
When the fuzzy human form slowly condensed, Sui Xiong cast another green light over the dead boy's body. The injuries inside and outside the body quickly disappeared, and he completely recovered. More vigorous vitality burst out from the body, restoring the color to the pale cheeks.
The invisible force grabbed the human shape formed by the remaining thoughts and stuffed it into the body.
The next moment, the boy opened his eyes.
At first, his eyes were a little confused. After a while, my eyes gradually regained focus and my thoughts gradually became clear.
"Am I not... dead?" He said hesitantly, "I remember... I have been killed by the Death Cloud Technique..."
"It's true that you died, but you came back to life." Gerald said with a smile, "Things like life and death are not things that we mortals should consider. First, tell me what happened."
So Palin gave up thinking about certain philosophical issues and fell into memories.
"I had been reading a book and suddenly heard Ren's exclamation. Then I looked up and saw him being teleported away. Then I saw the trap erupting and the red death cloud filling the air. I was killed before I could escape. It was covered with clouds, and I felt excruciating pain from my throat to my chest, and then I didn’t know anything else—until I was resurrected.”
"So, Ren had an accident while cracking the trap?" Gerald pondered, "Then I don't know what his condition is like... I hope he's okay."
At this time, Sui Xiong sneered.
"Don't worry, he's fine. He's doing very well now!"
A blue light was projected from the bone bracelet and turned into a transparent screen in the air. The screen showed the scene of the forest where the treasure was located.
Ren was busy, shoveling the soil and burying the big hole that Gerald had dug. Sui Xiong took a close-up of his face and saw that he was smiling proudly.
No need to say anything more, no need to think about it in detail, just look at his expression and you will know what exactly happened.
"Damn it!" Gerald yelled angrily, "This despicable old thief! I can't spare him!"
"It turns out... he plotted against us..." Palin shook his head in disbelief, "Why did he do this? Is it to steal the treasure?"
"Why do you do this? You will know if you keep reading." Sui Xiong's voice echoed in the air, "Let us suppress our anger for the moment and see what this despicable old man wants to do."
"I believe that the causes and consequences of everything will soon appear before our eyes..."
