Chapter 58: The Enrollment Mission of the Apostles Corps (Part 2)
Chapter 58: Admission tasks of the Apostles Group (Part 2)
The long secret passage is winding and extending into endless darkness. The magic lamps that should have been on the walls on both sides have long been unusable due to disrepair. Even if someone passes by, they cannot light up even a little light.
This kind of blocked secret passage is often the favorite terrain of the mechanism designers. In the graves of emperors in the past, such a secret passage could often arrange hundreds of mechanisms. As long as someone accidentally touched it, it would either be shot into honeycombs by countless arrows or melted into blood by acid agents.
Another group of the Apostles Group, an exploration team composed of Ifia, Mina and Sharon, is now walking in this passage.
Several transparent glowing jellyfish swam around Mina, illuminating this dark passage and adding a hint of vitality to this boring passage.
Originally, Heglis should have followed in, but because he was too big, he couldn't come in, so he could only regret guarding outside.
"I said, what is this task of finding secret treasures?" Mina looked at the yellow old map in her hand, looked left and right, and looked up and down, but couldn't see where the treasure burial point was marked.
It only says "The most precious treasure is hidden in the belly of the dragon of dusk, and only the warriors who are most courageous and willing to pay the price can find it."
Mina has never seen such things as treasure maps. As the deputy leader of the Dark Skeleton Pirates Group, she has participated in the group's search for secret treasures more than once. She has found many interesting things on small islands scattered near the sea, which is an interesting pastime in the life of pirates.
However, those treasure maps are generally left by similar pirate groups. Basically, they will use the skulls that pirates like to use to mark the treasure area, which is not like this picture. (It is impossible to make pirates with low culture do such troublesome things)
"Maybe we need to crack this riddle." Without Hygres by his side, Ifia seemed a little uncomfortable. But the person who designed this passage obviously hadn't considered the entry of the black giant who was two meters tall.
"All-round search." Sharon's answer was simple and direct. As an artificial demon, she was an example of absolutely faithful execution of orders, so even if she had to search in this dark underground passage for a hundred years, she would do it without hesitation.
Problems that only take time to solve, no matter how troublesome or boring, are simple questions for space demons who are used to living according to the rules.
"Hey, it takes too long. Use your space to move it directly to search!" Mina obviously doesn't have that patience. In fact, she is already very impatient now. Because since she received this inexplicable admission task, she and Yifeiya and Sharon have been in this large maze called the "Downward Corridor".
In contrast to the "Strike the Broken Ice Dragon" task that Alcelia and the others were responsible for, this task did not require much combat effectiveness, but it was even better in terms of trouble. I don't know which yellow old paper pile the principal found such a task, and it was obviously deliberately causing trouble for the Apostles' Group to enter the school.
"The instant movement here is disturbed and cannot be accurately positioned." Sharon shook his head.
The core was broken once and all she could use was short-range jumps. In this maze corridor with extremely complex terrain, if the positioning was wrong, it would have irreparable consequences. And there was also a kind of magic that interfered with her calculations, making her unable to accurately calculate the thickness of the wall and what was behind the wall.
So, now she can only move to a short distance position that her eyes can determine.
"Ah, trouble, so trouble! I really want to find someone to rob me!" Since the last time I kidnapped a bad duke, Mina has never done her job. Although she ate well in the Apostles Group, she always felt that she was not enough.
I originally thought that the task of finding secret treasures would be very interesting, so she volunteered to lead the team. Unexpectedly, it was such a boring task. After searching for so long, let alone secret treasures or something, there was not even a shadow of a monster.
This is built in a remote corner of the Guanghui Academy. It is said to be the "Downhill Corridor" established by a great magician who has studied space magic in the past. It is said that there is a very amazing secret treasure hidden, but no one has found it over the years. The principal Crod handed over this exploration mission to the Apostles, which was obviously in danger.
"According to my records, we have searched for 30% of the areas. Excluding duplicate areas, it takes more time to search for the remaining areas." Sharon reported the current progress of the maze exploration with an expressionless face. As a space demon, she will not make any mistakes in this record.
Mina hates listening to such boring numbers the most. The battle between the sea and the passionate echoes is what she yearns for.
"Sharon, don't you think your words are too boring?" Mina reached out and pinched Sharon's pink face. The soft feel reminded her of delicious meat buns.
"Please don't hinder my search, stay away from me." Sharon's eyes did not fluctuate at all, calm and wise, this is the common trait of all space demons.
"I'm hungry!" After walking in this dark underground corridor for so long, Mina's eyes were fierce, very fierce, as if she was telling everyone that I was hungry.
Now she can eat one, no, ten cows! After receiving the free mainland meal card issued by the Supreme God Cult, Mina hasn't been so hungry for a long time. If she is in the sea, she can dive into the deep sea at any time to find big fish to eat, but in this dark underground corridor, not to mention fish, there is not even a gecko.
"I'm a little hungry, too." Yifeiya said embarrassedly. Since she didn't expect to spend so much time searching, the team only carried a day's food. In fact, Mina ate all the prepared food in the third hour after the search. Now the whole team is the only one piece of bear biscuits in Yifeiya's pocket.
Sharon obviously didn't expect this problem. The space demon only needed to directly extract the magic power from the earth and the air to survive. She had been sleeping in the Karal Mountains for countless years, taking this as a matter of course, but humans seemed unable to do so.
In fact, this is already a very serious problem. Seeing Sharon's cute face becoming more and more like a meat bag, Mina is almost drooling.
Just when the situation was about to develop uncontrollable, a different view suddenly appeared in the dusk corridor that seemed to extend to the end of the world.
It was a door that didn't know where it led. There were some wooden fragments scattered in front of the door. A chair with one leg was scattered in the corner, as if it would fall apart in the next second. The walls around the door were covered with large patches of moss, and a line of words was written on it - "This is the entrance to the Dragon of Dusk. People with courage, prepare for sacrifices to get the treasure you want!"
"Hahaha, I finally found it!" Mina was ready to rub her hands, then kicked the door that looked extremely old.
With a "boom!", the door that looked fragile was unexpectedly strong. After being kicked so hard by Mina, it did not turn into pieces. After opening it crookedly, it revealed the hidden world at the door.
A palace that was completely inconsistent with this dark underground corridor and dilapidated gates reflected in Mina and Sharon's eyes.
This is a magical hall with brilliant lights. A chandelier made of hundreds of magical gems hung from the dome and emitted a soft light. Exquisite carvings filled the surroundings of the hall in detail. Four marble columns carved with angel statues stood in the center of the hall, surrounding a huge treasure chest full of gems.
Indeed, no matter from which perspective, this treasure chest inlaid with countless gems is definitely a good thing. The rubies, sapphires, bluestones, and five-color diamonds inlaid outside the treasure chest are valuable precious gems.
In contrast, things collected by such gorgeous gem boxes naturally bring people infinite imagination.
As a pirate girl, Mina naturally could not resist the temptation of Jinshishi, and immediately ran to the diamond treasure chest and prepared to open it.
"Wait!" A huge sound suddenly sounded, buzzing the entire hall.
"Wow!" Mina, who was startled, jumped directly into the air, then grabbed her big iron anchor and looked at the talking object with a vigilant look on her face. The huge gem box.
"If you want to get the treasures I have collected, you must give me a sacrifice of sufficient value." The huge treasure chest swayed and floated, and a pair of big eyes appeared on the surface of the treasure chest, like two large light bulbs.
"Huh? The one who came this time was actually a beautiful girl? What's going on?" After seeing Mina, Yifeiya, Sharon and others clearly, the huge treasure chest seemed to be surprised to see each other.
"This time? Are there anyone else except us?" Sharon asked calmly.
"Of course, otherwise you thought the decoration in this hall was made. Didn't that guy tell you the rules?" The huge treasure chest rotated for a week, then looked straight at the invading apostle trio.
"What is the sacrifice?" Yifeiya asked curiously.
"It's not limited to specific things, as long as they are worth enough. However, the value benchmark is up to me. According to the value of the sacrifice you pay, you can get treasures of the same value." The huge treasure chest shook its head, but its eyes quietly stared at the three girls with their own cuteness.
The lively and healthy little pirate Mina, the calm and calm space demon Sharon, and the curious and innocent snow girl Yifeiya, no matter which one, they are all the best in the eyes of the huge treasure chest.
