Shadow monk of online game

Chapter 80 Obelisk

Lu Ping woke up from his confusion and found himself in a dark cave.

The voice of the system rang in my ears: "You were sucked into a cave deep under the sea by the vortex, and you were lucky to escape unharmed."

Is this still called luck?Lu Ping was speechless. He looked ahead, but couldn't see clearly in the pitch black. The small radar map didn't work, and when he pulled out the big map, it was blank and couldn't be displayed normally.

If you come, you will be safe, or go to the front to have a look first, maybe there is a treasure here!

Although the cave was damp, there was no water, and there was some faint blue light, and the nearby things could barely be seen. Lu Ping did not light a fire, and walked forward cautiously.

The further you go, the bigger the cave becomes. After walking for tens of meters, what Lu Ping sees is a huge space with a height of 20 meters!
There are many collapsed huge stone pillars and broken walls, all of which are engraved with some kind of ancient hieroglyphs or patterns, which are simple, exquisite, mysterious, and there are some strange statues that look like humans and animals, all of which have been damaged and tilted.

Lu Ping's spirit was greatly lifted. There must be precious treasures in this kind of ancient ruins!

With a sound of "chuck", a strange blue creature swam past in front, with a fish head and a human body, the upper body is a plump female body, and the lower body is a snake body. It looks a bit like Medusa, but its tail is a fish tail. Quite eccentric.

[Water Elemental Man]: Level:? ,life:? , attack power...

"Fuck, it's such a high-level monster again!"

Lu Ping couldn't help cursing, today was really unlucky, he encountered high-level monsters everywhere he went.However, it is only natural to encounter high-level monsters here, and it is not normal to encounter mobs of more than ten levels.

It seems that the water elemental man is a monster attacked by magic, but I don't know if he is born with the ability to see through invisibility.

I have already arrived here, so I have to explore it no matter what, isn't it just for treasures to play games?It's definitely worth the risk!
Lu Ping replaced all the best equipment on his body with junk equipment, so that if he died, the loss would not be too great.Then use Shadow Sneak to enter the stealth state and walk slowly towards the water elemental.

Some monsters are born with the ability to see through invisibility. There is nothing wrong with encountering such monsters. No matter how high the invisibility skill is, it is useless. As long as the water elementals are not born to see through invisibility, Lu Ping can sneak in such a dark place with confidence.

He walked forward step by step, getting closer and closer to the water elemental man, but the water elemental man didn't notice him.

Lu Ping is overjoyed, half of the success has been achieved!However, the level of the water elemental is very high, and the insight is also very high. Even the slightest sound and airflow changes may be detected, so he has to be careful with every step.

Because the small radar map can't work here, so the magic power has no effect. He can't see the structure of this ancient ruins and the distribution of monsters, so everything can only be played on the spot.

Avoiding the water elemental, Lu Ping walked forward slowly, turned around the corner, and there were several water elementals walking back and forth in the passage ahead.He huddled in the corner and didn't dare to move. After watching for a few minutes, he basically determined the walking route and staying time of the monsters, and then proceeded carefully.

The passage is relatively wide, but the water elementals are not crowded. For Lu Ping, a "habitual bandit", crossing such a passage is just a piece of cake. Almost every time, he keeps a distance of more than two meters and passes without any danger. up.

Suddenly Lu Ping found something like a drop of water on the ground, emitting a faint, hazy blue light.

[Water Demon's Tears]: It is said that these are tears dropped by mermaids. They are very precious and can be used to make powerful magic potions.Potency: 56.

Since it is very precious, of course you have to pick it up, and you can sell it for money if you don't need it.

Lu Ping continued to walk forward, and there were more and more monsters as he went forward, and there was also a dark blue ice elemental man with a bigger head and beautiful fins, obviously stronger than the water elemental man.

There is a small square in the center of the ruins. There are countless people of the two elements. If there is a treasure chest or something, it must be in the middle of the square.

Lu Ping felt his scalp tingling. There were too many monsters. There was one every few meters. In some places, two or three stood together. Because there were too many monsters, it was impossible to observe each one's walking route and staying time. , if you walk over and get bumped by several monsters, you will die.

Some water elementals are obviously patrolling monsters, walking around, adding to the confusion.

Lu Ping hesitated for a while, but decided to go there. People died for money, and birds died for food. They have come here. How can there be any reason not to move forward?If you don’t take it today, you may not be able to find this place in the future. Even if you can find it, there is no shelter here. If you attack by force, you will need hundreds of super masters to kill it. Able to venture in.

He tried his best to walk from places where there were fewer monsters, and at the same time, he watched all directions and listened to all directions, paying attention to the movements of every water and ice elemental person around him.He can't move too fast, because if he moves too fast, his whereabouts may be exposed, but the water elemental person can rush around unscrupulously, he must calculate the amount in advance to determine whether to move forward or stop, so as not to be hit by the strange water elemental person .

Even though he had many treasure-robbing experiences, Lu Ping was still so nervous that he almost couldn't breathe, but he didn't even dare to breathe casually.When stealing Medusa's treasure chest, the number of monsters is not so dense, and Medusa's level is definitely not as high as these monsters, the degree of danger is not the same.

Four or five meters ahead, an ice elemental man suddenly changed direction and swam towards Lu Ping. Lu Ping hurriedly took two steps to the left, and there were already two water elemental men standing there on the left, only about two meters away from him. I can't even walk half a step.Since the lower body and tail of the water elemental man and the ice elemental man were very long, they swung around when they swam, so they had to stay at least two meters away from them, otherwise when they turned around suddenly, their tails might hit him.

At this time, there was another patrolling water element man twisting his body and swimming towards this side. Lu Ping was shocked, he was surrounded by all sides!It is too late to go right now, he will be hit by the ice elemental man in front, and he will not be able to stop on the spot, but will be bumped by the water elemental man behind him, and he will be forced into a small space by four monsters from three directions. It's inside the space!
The water elements behind are getting closer, three meters, two meters, 1.5 meters... At this moment, the two water elements on the left suddenly moved, separated and walked in different directions, and with a flick of their tails, they almost landed on Lu Ping's body Knees swept.

At this time, the water elemental man behind is too close to Lu Ping. In this case, it is best not to move. If you move, it will cause air flow, which will disturb the water element, but if you don't move, you will definitely be hit.

Lu Ping gritted his teeth, and took a step to the left, almost stepping on the tail fin of the water elemental man who turned away, and then took another step, but he dared not touch the ground with his raised foot, because the water elemental man's tail hadn't reached yet. Take it away, and the one behind is walking close to his right!
Lu Ping completely closed his breath, stood on one foot, stepped forward with his right leg without touching the ground, and leaned forward, finally he did not step on the water element man in front, nor was he bumped into by the water element man behind him. over the shoulder.

The distance was too close, and the water element man behind became alert, stopped suddenly, turned his head to Lu Ping's side and turned its dead fish eyes, as long as it waved its hand, it might touch Lu Ping's back.

Lu Ping was so nervous that he almost fainted, he kept that weird posture and did not dare to move, every second seemed as long as a century.

After three or four seconds, the water element continued to move forward, and it was not until it was five meters away that Lu Ping dared to touch the ground with his right foot and exhaled lightly.Fortunately, no other monsters came over at this time, otherwise he would be dead!
Be calm, be sure to be calm, victory is at hand!
Lu Ping cheered himself up, adjusted his mentality and breathing as much as possible, mustered up courage and confidence, and continued to move forward.

Not far ahead there is another Water Demon's Tears, Lu Ping also put them away, there are three in total, this is a high-end product, maybe it can be used to make Eternal Potion, it must be very valuable, so put it away first.

There were too many monsters in front of him, and there was no pattern of movement to be found. It all depended on the performance on the spot. As long as he made a wrong judgment, his previous efforts might be wasted. At this moment, he could only do his best and resign himself to fate.

Trembling all the way, survived several times, and finally arrived at the last circle of monsters, but at a glance, the surrounding monsters are empty, not even half a treasure chest!

It can't be said that it is completely empty. There is a pointed stone tablet with a width of half a meter and a height of more than ten meters. places are very limited.

Why are there no treasure chests or super bosses in the mysterious places guarded by so many high-level monsters?This is so unreasonable!

Because Lu Ping had been concentrating on avoiding the monsters all the time, Lu Ping didn't pay much attention to the stone tablet. At this time, he took a closer look and found that there were many simple and mysterious patterns engraved on the stone tablet, faintly emitting some kind of indescribable energy, which was different from what he had seen before. The stone carvings are all different.Such a stele with a square spire should have a special name...

"The Obelisk!"

Lu Ping almost exclaimed. Although he didn't know there was such a thing in the game, he knew that there were obelisks in the stand-alone "Heroes of Invincibility". You can find the burial place of the ultimate artifact by touching all the obelisks. Is it the same setting here? Certainly?

Whether it's an obelisk or not, it's always a good idea to touch it and try it.He gently passed between the two ice elements, and when he arrived at the stele, he stretched out his hand with tension and anticipation, and pressed it...

There seemed to be a weak warm current spreading through his whole body in an instant, and a part of the pattern on the obelisk gave off a strange light, as if the pattern suddenly came alive.

The voice of the system sounded: "You have found an ancient obelisk through hardships and obstacles, and reached out to touch it with great reverence and fascination. After touching it, a part of the pattern carved on it emitted a strange light. You firmly believe that these The mysterious pattern hinted at something, perhaps related to ancient legends and secrets, so I painted it before the light disappeared."

The system prompts: "You have obtained a copy of [The Wisdom of the Gods], which has been stored in the package."

The light on the obelisk began to shrink and disappeared quickly, even the patterns engraved on it disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, all the patterns disappeared completely, turning into a smooth square stone pillar.

The water elemental and the ice elemental became agitated and began to swim towards the obelisk.Lu Ping was startled, there were already too many monsters in the center, and if the monsters from outside squeezed in, he would not even be able to find the way out!

Lu Ping immediately walked out, this time walking faster, there was no way, the later he was, the more dangerous he would be, so he could only walk faster with a fluke mentality.

As soon as the speed was fast, the nearby water elementalists were alarmed and alerted, but they did not find him who was invisible, and continued to swim towards the obelisk in the center.They can sense that the things they guard have been "stolen" by someone, but they can't see the invisible thief.

Lu Ping held his breath and dodged left and right to avoid a large number of oncoming monsters. After a wave of shocks, the front monsters became very few, but the rear had already gathered quickly, stacking obelisks one after another. The neighborhood is more completely paved.

It's dangerous, as long as he is delayed by a second, he may not be able to get out.

Although there were still a few water elementalists standing still in front, there was no longer any threat. Lu Ping felt relieved and walked out unhurriedly. He didn't stop until he reached the entrance of the cave, and opened the package to check.

Inside the package was a light cyan scroll with a text description:

[Wisdom of the Gods Fragments]: Stay in the package for intelligence +50, mana recovery speed +100%, and must be dropped when you die.

Lu Ping was very surprised, this thing can increase the attributes if left in the package?He couldn't believe it, and pulled out the character attribute panel to see... Oh my god, the intelligence has become 97!Since the increase in intelligence is real, then the mana recovery rate +100% cannot be fake.

At present, adding intelligence is useless to Lu Ping, and speeding up mana recovery is also useless to him, but it will be useful after changing jobs at level 20, and it only takes a few days. The damage brought by 50 points of intelligence is no less than that of a top-quality wand, and it also has the effect of doubling the recovery speed of mana. It's so awesome that it can be worth a treasure!Even the treasure may not necessarily have such high attributes and effects, and more importantly, it does not take up equipment space, which is a rare treasure for spellcasting professions!

Touching the obelisk to get such a thing is too unexpected, so how many obelisks are there, and what is the use of collecting them all?
It is very likely that each obelisk will get a fragment after touching it, and all the fragments are combined to form a complete scroll. It must be a super artifact, and it may even be the ultimate artifact in the game!
Lu Ping is full of enthusiasm, not to mention how powerful the complete scroll is, but the fragments alone are amazing. With more than a dozen similar scrolls on his body, he is already No. 1 in the world!
After rejoicing for a while, Lu Ping felt a little unsatisfactory again. If this remnant scroll was hung on his body, it would definitely explode. Who can guarantee that he will never hang up?If people know that they have this thing on their body, wouldn't experts from all over the world come to snatch it?As long as there are fragments of scrolls in the world, bloody storms will be inevitable, and the holders will not be able to live in peace.

After sighing for a while, Lu Ping calmed down and had to go to Pierpont City. He didn't know where he was now. In case of danger, the wisdom of the gods would be violent, so it would be useless to like him.

There is sea water outside the cave. Looking at the status, the effect of the underwater breathing medicine is still a little more than two hours. If it is not too far from the coast and there are no particularly strong monsters, it should be safe to go ashore.

Lupin recovered his composure, dived into the water, and began to swim upstream, which, judging from the light here, was much deeper than where he was drawn.Fortunately, there are no monsters nearby, only some neutral fish.

A few minutes later, he floated to the surface of the sea. Looking around, there was no limit to the vast expanse. At this time, the small radar map returned to normal and could be used, and it was full of sea from above.Pulling out the big map again, Lu Ping was stunned. He was already very far away from Shenmu Castle, at least thousands of kilometers away, and the underwater vortex transported him thousands of miles away in a few minutes!
Now using the scroll of the gate of time and space, he can immediately return to the Emerald City, or back to Harmondale, but his task is not completed yet, if he goes to the Emerald City, he will have to walk a lot of time to get to the Fort of Godwood.Moreover, the elves and the players of the decisive battle are chasing him, and it is very difficult to go to Shenmu Castle.

What should we do now?
Lu Ping looked around again, and found that there was an obvious eddy on the sea not far from him.When I came here, I was pulled by the vortex, so if I dive into this vortex again, can I return to the place where I jumped into the sea?If it is possible, it will save a lot of trouble. He can take a detour and go to Pierpont City;

Without much hesitation, Lu Ping swam towards the whirlpool and was drawn into it again.
