Chapter 129 Secret Warehouse (Fifth update, please subscribe)
After a sumptuous dinner, drink a few alcoholic beverages of different flavors.
After traveling along the harsh desert environment for almost half a month, everyone quickly took a simple bath, lay on the soft big bed and fell asleep.
Since we are in a relatively safe city, there is no need to arrange a vigil tonight.
The slaves who were too numerous to live in the guest rooms had to find an empty spot in the hotel corridors, halls, stables, etc. to lay out blankets and sleep.
Anyway, the nights in Manon are not cold. Even if you sleep outside in the open air, you don’t have to worry too much about catching a cold.
For them, it is never the room or bed that affects sleep quality.
It’s a safe environment where you don’t have to worry about monsters and bandits popping up out of nowhere.
Zuo Si did not disturb these people who urgently needed a good sleep to relieve mental and physical fatigue. He took the soldiers and Alena and left from the back door of the hotel, using the cover of night to come to the city near the dock. In front of a dilapidated warehouse.
Looking at this old building that was at least several decades old, he subconsciously compared the address on the note in his hand, and immediately said to the two people behind him: "This should be the right place. Let's go. Well, let's go in and see what interesting things Mook has stored in this secret warehouse."
"I'll take the lead."
The soldier wearing heavy armor and holding a shield was the first to step forward, smashed the rusty lock with the hilt of his sword, opened the door and walked straight in.
Since it was completely dark, nothing could be seen inside the warehouse without any light.
Zuo Si immediately cast a [Light Technique] without saying a word.
Through this moving light source, the group of three people quickly saw the surrounding environment clearly.
Contrary to the expected mess, all the boxes and goods were stacked against the wall in a very neat and orderly manner.
Other than the fact that no one has visited it for a long time, the ground and goods are covered with a thick layer of dust, it seems that it is no different from an ordinary warehouse.
Just when Alena was about to open a box to see what was inside, a huge black shadow suddenly jumped down from above her head.
“Be careful!”
The soldier with strong reaction speed was the first to notice the danger. He raised his shield and knocked the oval-shaped creature, which was two to three meters in size, away from him for a short distance. , successfully protecting the relatively vulnerable fellow casters.
Through the [Light Technique], you can vaguely see that it is a huge arthropod with eight legs and black hair all over its body.
It is nearly one meter tall and its huge body must exceed one hundred kilograms. It looks like an enlarged version of a poisonous spider.
But unlike ordinary spiders, this monster does not have eight eyes, but only three.
Furthermore, deadly toxins glowing green are constantly dripping from under the huge mouthparts.
Thanks to the timely rescue by the soldiers.
Otherwise, given the current state of the sorceress without any magic protection, she would be seriously injured even if she was bitten, even if she did not die.
"Damn it! Why is there such a thing in the warehouse at the dock?" Alena asked with a livid face.
“Three-Eyed Demonic Spider! A magical monster created by arcane spellcasters by mixing the flesh and blood of various creatures.
Be careful, its toxin is very deadly, and even if it is not If you touch the spider web carefully, it will paralyze and inhibit the nerves of the person in contact.
However, this magical creature is very afraid of fire, so it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with."
Zuo Si quickly found the corresponding information from the [Thinking Library] and said it straightforwardly.
“Afraid of fire?”
Hearing these words, Alena suddenly showed a cruel smile.
The next second...
The sound of chanting spells echoed in the warehouse.
Immediately afterwards, a hot flame ray shot out from her fingertips, directly igniting the three-eyed magic spider that was wrestling with the soldier from the side.
In an instant!
This ferocious monster began to retreat crazily like crazy, trying to escape from the burning range of the flames.
But unfortunately, with Alena’s character, there is no way she could let it go. In a short time, the three-eyed demon spider was turned into a burnt corpse by a steady stream of flame magic.
After the battle, Zuo Si glanced at the spider web woven on the roof and the almost unrecognizable human corpses wrapped in cocoons in the corner, and immediately sneered and said: "This guy Muke, before he died, he still wanted to If nothing else, he kept this three-eyed magic spider here to guard the warehouse. "
"You mean... these people were deliberately thrown in for feeding. Spider's?" Alena raised her eyebrows in disgust.
"That's right! It's easy to tell from their clothes that these poor victims are basically either slaves, poor people living in Manon, or thieves who accidentally broke in."
< br>Zuo Si carefully used the dagger he carried to cut open the cocoon wrapped in spider silk, revealing the withered corpses inside.
Since the body fluids from all over the body have been sucked dry, it is impossible to tell the specific age, gender and identity of the deceased.
"Every time I turned that guy into a shadow or an undead, I really benefited him."
After confirming the number of corpses, the soldier couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Because many of the corpses in the cocoon are less than one meter tall.
This means that they are either halflings or children under ten years old.
The level of madness has even far exceeded the bottom line of most people in the "evil camp".
"Okay, there's no need to be angry with a dead man. Now, let's see what good things he has stored in this warehouse."
As he said that, Zuo Si cast a one-ring magic [ Detect the secret door].
Soon I discovered a small hidden compartment near the wall.
After confirming that there were no traps around, he quickly took out a sealed wooden box about half a meter long and thirty centimeters wide.
When I opened it, it turned out to be a magic composite long bow and five mithril arrows engraved with exquisite and complex runes.
After simple identification and identification, Zuo Si quickly knew the properties of these things.
The name of the composite long bow is [Strong Arm Bow].
The bowstring and bow arms were imbued with amazing magic when they were made, and it requires at least nineteen points of strength attribute to pull them apart.
Under such an astonishing pulling force, the arrows fired by [Strong Arm Bow] are powerful enough to instantly pierce the heads or hearts of most creatures.
Equivalent to a +3 enchanted weapon.
Not only does it have a longer range, but it also has higher damage and stronger penetration.
As for the arrows placed together with the bow, they are Faerun's famous [Devil-Breaking Arrows], which can eliminate and destroy the magic effects around the target's body.
Generally speaking, these arrows are high-level alchemy items specially made for hunting powerful mages and warlocks.
The market price of one is at least several thousand gold coins.
In addition, [Devil Breaking Arrow] is still a consumable item, so don’t expect it to be recycled.
Once shot, the power attached to the arrow will take effect, destroying the stability of any magical effects it touches.
However, this thing has been in a state of "price but no market" all year round.
Many people are willing to pay double the price but may not be able to buy one.
The only regret is that Zuo Si does not yet have a summoned creature of a full-time archer, worthy of this powerful magic composite longbow and five [Demon-Breaking Arrows].
With the soldier's strength attribute, although it can be used reluctantly, don't expect any accuracy if the distance is a little further.
If when Yelniya launched a surprise attack on Zuo Si, there was a long-range shooter who used [Demon-Breaking Arrow] to cooperate with him, Zuo Si felt that he would probably be worse off.
But unfortunately, Mook might have been anxious when he started, fearing that by the time the [Bow of Strong Arms] and [Demon-Breaking Arrow] were transported from Mannon to Port Calim, Hallet would have already gathered them together. Enough ransom to get out again.
In the end, the risk-taking failed and he lost his life.
