Chapter 120 Fragrance, Strange Bishop
Although the seedlings of capital have begun to appear in this world, and many handicraft factories have appeared, there is obviously still a long way to go before the industrial revolution. Therefore, the natural ecology in this world is very well maintained, and virgin forests abound.

The Silver Moon Mountain Range is one of the oldest areas near Layton, with a steep terrain, and people have set foot there before, so this mountain range has also gathered a large number of monsters.

Although these monsters can't build houses, they will look for caves as lairs.

They didn't pay attention during the search before, but after changing the target, they discovered that the number of large and small caves in the Silver Moon Mountains is astonishing. Many caves even go deep into the ground, and some caves can even be connected.

After redoing the search plan, the third team was divided into four groups and began to explore the caves and lairs in the Silver Moon Mountains.

In this way, Ryan embarked on a "bloody" journey to find treasures. He almost lost his life when he went deep into the ground last time, but this time, he did not encounter the remains of the Calamity Church, but met There are quite a few monsters of the second and third ranks, and these monsters can be killed without him even using the sword of justice, which is extremely easy.

It took three hours.

Ryan explored more than a dozen caves in the middle of the mountain at an astonishing speed, killing more than two third-tier monsters and more than ten second-tier monsters along the way. Among them, some of the precious body materials of two third-tier monsters were collected by Ryan into the system. in the warehouse.

"With space equipment, it's really easy to make money." Ryan, who had collected the third-order materials, couldn't help but sigh.

Tier [-] monsters are not small in size, and it usually takes a whole team to cooperate to take down Tier [-] monsters, and even if they are successfully killed, they can only take away the most precious part of the materials, and the rest are not so valuable The materials can only be discarded, and cannot be taken away at all. If there is space equipment, there will be no such troubles.

"Ryan, have you found Peak [-]?" The familiar voice reached Ryan's ear, it was Harvey's voice, "We have already explored Peak [-], but nothing has been found."

After exploring in groups, each group brought a short-line communication tool, so he could communicate with Harvey.

"Nothing was found." Ryan whispered: "I have completely searched the tenth peak."

On detection capabilities.

Ryan is definitely better than the rest of the team, because he can rely on analysis to judge whether there are traces of elemental crystals nearby, while others can only rely on naked eyes and breath to identify, which is more than a little less efficient.

The entire team is divided into four groups, and the others are in groups of two. Ryan's strength has been recognized by everyone. After he proposed a single group, no one objected.

For various reasons, Ryan, who was exploring alone, had the highest efficiency in the entire team.

"Elsa and the others have also finished exploring Peak Nine, but there is nothing to gain. I think...we should go deep into those underground networks to explore." Harvey suggested.

"I agree." Ryan replied.

Whoosh!
At the same moment, the members of the third team entered the largest underground caves on different mountain peaks. Before, they found that many of these caves seemed to be connected. After thinking about it, they put this plan to the end.

The dangers of going deep underground are self-evident.

If there is a fierce battle underground and the cave collapses, even if they are third-order powerhouses, it is almost impossible for them to survive.

After going deep underground, Ryan saw the mutilated corpses of many low-level magicians with his own eyes. These corpses were almost torn into many pieces. If there were no clothes or badges to identify them, the identity of the original owner could not even be seen.

"It's true that even low-level people come to find treasures." Ryan shook his head. "There must be many people who can think of looking underground, but before the monsters on the ground are cleaned up, even the third-level or even fourth-level powerhouses dare not go too deep underground. , is afraid of encountering an ambush or accident."

The underground space is also an extremely dangerous place for magicians above high level.

The corpses of these low-level mages seemed to have been dead for at least a month, and they obviously entered here before the monsters on the ground were cleaned up. I don't know whether to call it reckless or smart.

Underground, a piece of darkness.

"Finding treasures underground is probably difficult for ordinary magicians." Ryan inserted the chains into the rock walls on both sides, and penetrated into the surroundings like earthworms. Ordinary magicians don't have shackles that can be used as tools to explore, even if it is Ordinary priests can't do this.

three hours later.

At a depth of 500 meters underground, there is an underground river channel. The river is extremely turbulent. With a "bang", Ryan opened the rock wall in front of the cave with a chain and broke into the underground river.

"The ruins of the last disaster should be less than 300 meters away from this river."

"However, that ruin has been completely taken over by the secret department of the church, and even I am not qualified to enter again."

Ryan shook his head, and the two chains extended from his arms and inserted into the underground river, like two mechanical arms, instead of his legs moving forward in the turbulent undercurrent.

This is his new discovery after he broke through to the third level recently. The shape of the chain seems to have undergone some changes. Not only the effect of banning and isolation has become stronger, but the chain itself seems to be much more flexible, allowing him to do many things that he could not do before. matter.

If it weren't for the fact that the chains could only release two at most, Ryan could even use them as tentacles like Doctor Octopus.

After a short rest in the river, Ryan used the purification technique to emit a ray of light to illuminate the front, and the two chains replaced his legs and walked forward in the river.

"What smell?" Ryan moved his nose.

There was a faint fragrance, which was different from what he could usually see. This was a smell he had never smelled before. If he had to describe it, it was a bit like the fragrance of water?

The fragrance of water?

The moment this idea came up, Ryan's face was also a little weird, what kind of taste can water have?But he happened to have this idea in the first place.

Wait until Ryan suddenly turned his head and looked to the left side of the undercurrent: "Treasure, it is likely to be a treasure! Even if it is not an elemental crystal, it must be some precious material."

500 meters underground, there is a "fresh fragrance of water". This is a very strange thing. Maybe it has something to do with the crystal of the elements. After all, no one has seen this thing before. Who knows if it has a smell?
The direction of the underground undercurrent is very tortuous and weird. Ryan sniffed it repeatedly with his nose, and finally determined that the location of the fragrance came from the fork on the left side of the undercurrent.

As the distance gets closer, the fragrance becomes easier to smell.

"Boom~~" Ryan followed this underground river and came to a wider underground river. It seems that the underground river just now is just a branch of this wide underground river.

"There are monsters."

Ryan squinted his eyes, and found out with a glance of mental power, "there are not many, it seems to be some water-type monsters, but the strength is not bad, and there are still third-order existences."

Ryan is not surprised by this. Compared with the monsters on the land, the number of monsters in the water is far more than that on the land. That is to say, he is now in the inland south of Gwen, and the water monsters are relatively rare. If In the sea area north of Gwen, powerful monsters abound.

However, he has no plans to fight these monsters.

"The smell is coming from there." Ryan's eyes moved, and the two chains quickly rushed towards the source of the fragrance.

The monsters hidden in the turbulent undercurrent have no intention of provoking Ryan. At the third level, they already have a strong spirituality. Although they can't speak, they can still tell whether they are good or not.

Ryan felt that he had walked down for hundreds of meters obliquely, and saw a huge crack appearing beside the river bank. The crack was about five meters wide. It was pitch black and unfathomable, but there was a faint fiery breath blowing towards his face. come.

"This fragrance seems to come from this crack." Ryan frowned, and he was a little puzzled by the heat in the dark crack.

After hesitating for a moment, Ryan replaced his hands and feet with chains, went deep into the crack, inserted it on the rock wall, and slowly crawled towards the bottom of the crack.

All the way down, the temperature keeps rising, and while the hot breath is getting stronger, the fragrance is also getting stronger!
puff!
Ryan finally landed: "It's about 200 meters, and I'm already at a depth of 600 meters below the ground. I'm afraid it's close to 800 meters underground."

at this time
"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Ryan in this deep underground."

A thick voice sounded from the other side of the underground space, and Ryan turned his head suddenly to look, only to see a figure in a white robe appearing less than 50 meters away from him under the afterglow of the holy light.

Ryan frowned and looked at the other party. The bishop in white robes should be around five or sixty years old. His blond hair was casually and neatly draped over his shoulders. His facial features were sharp and angular, and he also had a pair of slightly melancholy blue eyes. .

white robe?Which bishop is this?
He had met the bishops of all the churches in Layton, even if some bishops had little contact with them, it was impossible not to recognize their identities, but the white-robed bishop opposite gave him a feeling of strangeness and familiarity.

"I should have, but he is certainly not the Bishop of Leighton."

Bishops from other dioceses also came to the Silver Moon Mountains. It is not uncommon for a strange bishop to appear, but there is only one possibility for a bishop he has seen but is not familiar with. The other party is from the exchange group.

Exchange group. Thinking of this, Ryan's thoughts cleared up, and finally recognized the identity of the person opposite.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ellis."

"I thought I was the first to discover this place, but I didn't expect Mr. Ryan to be so fast." Ellis walked slowly towards Ryan.

In the previous battle between Ryan and Yulei, the bishop named Ellis also watched the battle from the sidelines.

"It seems that Mr. Ellis knows this place very well. Is this really where the elemental crystal is located?" Ryan half put away the chain and looked at him, the tip of the chain rubbing against his palm.

"It's my first time here too." Ellis had a smile on his face; "But I'm sure it's the breath of the elemental crystal."

Ryan narrowed his eyes and didn't speak, just looked at each other silently.

Ellis didn't care about Ryan's reaction, but walked over and said to himself: "This place is about 800 meters underground, and due to the barrier of soil and rocks, it has completely exceeded the contact range of the communicator."

"It's a fluke to be able to find this space. If it wasn't for the Tier [-] Warcraft I was chasing just now, I wouldn't have been able to find this place."

"Mr. Ryan, I have been promoted to the fourth level for more than 100 years." Ellis looked at Ryan and said with a smile: "If I still can't break through that threshold, my days should not be long."

Ryan was silent for a moment, and calmly said: "How to deal with the crystal of the elements, the church's senior management should make their own arrangements."

"Bishop Ellis, you probably aren't qualified enough to make a decision."

"Very good." There was a smile on Ellis's face, and he smiled angrily: "Perhaps, the previous victory over Yulei and Hector gave Mr. Lane a lot of confidence."

"But you may not know how big the gap between the third and fourth ranks is."

"I'll let you make the first move, and the battle will be resolved within three seconds. If there's too much movement, the cave may collapse, so it's a quick decision." Ellis said indifferently.

"Three seconds?" Ryan looked at Ellis and smiled; "It seems that Mr. Ellis is very confident in himself."

As far as he knows, this Ellis is not a priest path, but a fourth-level priest path-holy priest.

Indeed, no matter which path reached the fourth-level combat power, it should not be underestimated, but compared to the priest path of the same level, the priest path is indeed weaker by more than a notch.

No matter how long Ellis has been promoted, it is impossible to make up the gap between the two, and he did not see the battle between Ryan and Hector with his own eyes, but only heard the result from his mouth, so naturally he did not know what Ryan was doing. What is so special about the Sword of Justice?

In his opinion, even if Ryan is a third-tier trial priest, he is still just an ant in front of him.

snort!
Ellis snorted coldly in his heart. Originally, he wanted to spare this Ryan's life, but he didn't expect this kid to seek his own death. Then he can't blame him. Tier [-] wants to challenge Tier [-]?What an idiot!

"The shackles!" Ryan's eyes turned cold.

The two chains flew out from his hands in an instant, and at the moment of flying, the chains intertwined with each other, turning into a shape like a giant diamond!
boom! !

The rock walls on both sides were swept up by the air waves with a large amount of rubble, and the chains rushed in like an awl, breaking through the distance between the two in an instant.Ellis' complexion changed slightly, and the moment he waved his hand, a light curtain the size of a person appeared in front of him forming a shield.

"Zheng~~"

A sharp sound sounded, and the frantically crossing and rotating chains were firmly stopped by the shield.

"What a tyrannical shield." Ryan was shocked in his heart. The chain didn't even leave a trace of scars on it. This was the first time he encountered something with such strong protection.

However, everything was as expected. He didn't really plan to kill Ellis. Anyway, the other party was also a white-robed bishop. If he really killed him, he might cause a lot of trouble.

"It's not bad, but it's a pity that it doesn't make sense." Ellis' eyes were cold, and while he was chanting a spell in a low voice, a sudden holy light began to pour into this underground space.
