Chapter 624: Rediscovering the Path
No matter how magical the magic items are, most of them are man-made.
In addition to pure practicality, man-made things will also add some other functions.
Take the endless water bag as an example. Simply drinking water is boring, but adding some flavor is not a hassle. The operation of turning a glass of water into something that tastes like fruit is a little magic practiced by apprentices.
Li Chengqi tasted it before giving it to Yang Yiyi. Don't tell me, don't tell me, the lemon flavor of the endless water bag tastes a bit like Sprite, the sugar-free kind.
No matter what the flavor is, with the endless water bladder, you don’t have to worry about water sources.
Southern Xinjiang seems to be full of water nets. In fact, no one can guarantee whether the fresh water here is clean or contains parasites. Compared with drinking raw water, it is better to drink water from endless water bladders. , at least it’s definitely no problem.
The three of them had all eaten apples and strawberries, but they had never heard of lemon, so they were curious about what lemon tasted like and drank to their fill.
While they were studying the endless water bag, Li Chengqi took out a pair of wristbands and a ring from the backpack given by Aldai and gave them to Yang Yiyi.
This was specially chosen for her, equipment that Aldai felt was suitable for a monk.
Most defensive magic items that do not require magic activation are basically armor or shields. If you can't wear armor and hold a shield, then the options are relatively small.
Wristbands are called defensive bracers. They are a kind of defensive magic item that monks without armor like to wear. After wearing them, an invisible stance armor will be automatically activated. The armor is close to the skin and affects the flexibility of the body. There is no impact.
Of course, the defensive effect is definitely not as good as full-body plate armor. For monks, this thing is the icing on the cake.
Aldai misunderstood Yang Yiyi as a warrior monk, which was actually not wrong. Anyway, the painting style was very similar.
The price of this thing is not high. It was made by Aldai herself. The things she used to wear when she was at a lower level are no longer used and are considered waste for Yang Yiyi.
And that ring came from the treasure.
The name is also very simple, it's called the defensive ring, but unlike the defensive wristband, this white gold ring set with star sapphires will automatically generate a deflection when worn.
All attacks, whether physical or magical, will be affected by the deflection field and will have a high probability of being slid away.
This effect is a bit overwhelming. It is not a rigid defense, but like the sloped armor of a tank.
In addition to the fact that these two things do not require magic activation and can take effect as long as they are worn, the biggest advantage is that there are no special sound and light effects, and there is no problem at all with the naked eye.
Even if Yang Yiyi fights with someone, the other party will only think that Yang Yiyi's skills are magical and will not think about magic.
This is also very important.
In fact, there is another necklace, also for Yang Yiyi, but it is better to give it to Yang Yiyi when she is alone. Even if Qin Yan and Wu Shaoyi will not be jealous because of it, it is better to keep it a little secret.
After all, trump cards are always more effective as fewer people know about them.
As for weapons, there are none suitable for Yang Yiyi.
The long sword on Viola's side is said to be a long sword, but in fact it is more like a broad sword. It is completely different from Yang Yiyi's sword in both style and usage.
It would be okay to give Yang Yiyi two heavy weapons such as war hammers, but the style of painting...
Aldai said that I still have a lot of things that have not been appraised, and I will keep them when suitable ones come back.
So in terms of weapons, let Yang Yiyi continue to use the two HB400 rebars, which are enough for the time being anyway.
After taking a rest at the entrance of the cave, Yang Yiyi fastened the lock of the protective wristband, picked up the emergency light, and the three of them walked deeper into the cave.
As mentioned earlier, it is very inconvenient to come down from the cliff. Since someone is worshiping the water god here, there must be an entrance and exit that is convenient for entry and exit. But the length of this cave was a bit unexpected. The three of them walked inside with emergency lights for almost an hour before they saw light appearing in front of the cave.
Going up the slope, I saw that the so-called entrance was actually a hole in the ground. The entrance was directly above, like a 'sinkhole' formed after the soil above collapsed and was washed away by water.
There was a large round pool right below the entrance of the cave. There might be a water outlet deep in the pool, so the three of them saw heavy rain falling in the pool, but the water level in the pool did not rise.
After observing the terrain, although the entrance to the cave is directly above, the rock walls on both sides can still be climbed up. Even people with better dexterity skills, such as Qin Yan, can simply rely on the slight bulges on the rock wall to jump up.
Now that they have found the exit, there is no need to worry. The three of them sat down and waited for the heavy rain to dissipate.
After waiting for another full hour, Li Chengqi had finished their lunch, and the rain finally subsided and turned into a drizzle. However, the dark clouds showed no sign of clearing up, and lightning could still be seen piercing the sky from time to time.
In order to make it easier for the three of them to go up, Li Chengqi took out the elf rope given by Aldai.
Qin Yan first grabbed the rope, jumped up on the bulge on the rock wall, and then tied the rope to a nearby big tree.
Yang Yiyi tied the other end of the rope to Wu Shaoyi's wheelchair, then Yang Yiyi climbed up along the rope, and then pulled Wu Shaoyi and the wheelchair up together.
The advantage of this elf rope is that it is extremely strong and can be made long or short.
When the three of them get out of the hole, they can untie the knotted rope with a simple tug, as if the rope itself knows when to knot and when to loosen.
Then the rope, which was more than ten meters long, quickly shrank to the length of a palm, and could be easily carried away in the arms.
This is also not a high-value magic item, but like the endless water bladder, it is not very valuable but very practical. The adventurers on Viola's side, as long as they are successful, everyone must be worthy of it. Some of these things are high-end, and there are even mobile homes and even moving castles.
——Magic is indeed awesome.
Putting aside this, after coming out of the cave, the three of them appeared in a dense forest. It can be said that no matter whether you look left or right, there is green everywhere.
What was very troublesome was that they did not see the road they had taken with the caravan, nor did they see any traces of human activity. They did not even see the debris left by the mudslide caused by the landslide. It's like falling into a dense jungle.
Qin Yan looked around and said:
"I still remember the direction, but I heard from the people in the caravan that the compass doesn't work here."
The Mizong Forest where the three of them were trapped before stretched from Southern Xinjiang to Zhuozhou.
But now they were going to Phoenix Village, and the road they took with the caravan actually passed by the edge of the Lost Forest.
Because it's so close to the Lost Forest, the compass doesn't work well here.
But it wasn't a big problem. Yu Gui flew out of Yang Yiyi's arms again and spit out a palm-sized metal disc with a lot of incomprehensible markings engraved on it.
"Press the center of the disk, yes, where the ruby is embedded."
Yang Yiyi did as Li Chengqi said. The ruby that seemed to be embedded in the center of the disk actually moved along the notches on its own, and finally stopped in one direction.
"The direction the ruby points to is south, and this thing will not be affected."
This is an astrological disk. Its original purpose is to help mages learn astrology. It can be used as a compass.
The biggest advantage is that there will be no interference at all, but the premise is that it can only be used in an open-air environment. After all, the principle of helping it point the direction actually relies on the stars in the sky, not the geomagnetism.
So magic is really convenient.
