Volume 1: Dance of the Black Dragon Chapter 45: Ancient Relics
At this moment, the monster army had already arrived nearby. At Murphy's command, these monsters immediately started fighting with the adventurers who were watching the fun nearby.
Murphy continued to move forward in the chaos, crossing a square. Not far away, the huge square building came into view.
Here it is!
Murphy rushed to the door of the treasury. The door in front of him was closed. The mithril-forged door looked extremely solid.
Murphy slapped it with his claws, -550! So hard!
Looking at the durability again, it was 49450/50000 points. A gate actually had a durability of 50,000 points. Mo Fei thought to himself how long it would take to tear it down. Every minute and every second was precious at this moment.
Fortunately, he can still breathe fire.
Aiming at the gate, a breath of ancient dragon flame sprayed out.
The area of the gate is large enough, so none of the damage from the dragon's breath is wasted.
(AOE skills can cause cumulative damage to large units).
Murphy madly sprayed flames at the gate. The scorching dragon fire gushed out. It was red at first, but gradually turned into a blazing white color. The flames of various talents made the durability of the gate drop drastically. The mithril-forged gate also began to melt under the burning of the dragon fire.
It seems that the Ancient Black Dragon advancement was the right choice, otherwise this door would be very difficult to open.
Seeing that the durability of the gate had reached zero, Murphy's dragon claws tore hard, and a big hole was torn in the gate.
He glanced at the adventurers around him who were still fighting monsters. Although the fighting power of these monsters varied, it should be enough to delay them for a while.
Murphy rushed through the door without hesitation.
Entering the treasury, the first thing that appears is a huge and spacious corridor.
In the corridor, dozens of arcane puppets were activated at the same time and charged like a black dragon. With a wave of his dragon claws and a sweep of his dragon tail, Murphys smashed them all into pieces. These elite puppets with more than 3,000 HP were powerful enemies for ordinary adventurers, but they were complete leeks for him.
However, it is obviously impossible for such a treasure house to have only such little defensive power. At the end of the corridor, there is a huge puppet that is more than 20 meters high. As Murphy approaches, the puppet's eyes light up red, and an extremely long health bar and a BOSS logo suddenly appear on its head.
Hey, it turned out to be a BOSS-level combat unit.
Treasury Guardian (Magic Colossus) Level 70, Catastrophic Level 1, HP 60,000.
Vault Guardian (Magic Colossus): "Intruder detected, combat sequence initiated - destruction beam ready to fire!"
Two red beams shot towards him and hit Murphy at the same time. The destructive beam pierced through the dragon scales, leaving two burnt marks on the black dragon's body.
-1719!
-1658!
Eh, the damage is quite high.
Golems are usually very resistant, so Murphy didn't spit fire, but directly used a giant dragon to attack! He hit the golem's chest.
Boom, -3285!
The violent collision caused the golem to stagger.
Looking at its health point of 60,000, it might take some time to deal with it. Murphy didn't have time to deal with it at this moment. Fortunately, he had done detailed research on the weaknesses of various monsters. The weakness of a golem was usually at its energy core.
Murphy's dragon claws went straight to the golem's chest, where the power source was located.
Generally speaking, a dragon claw attack cannot reach such a high position, but Murphy was completely unaware of this at the moment.
Crack! The sharp dragon claws penetrated the protective plate on the golem's chest, pulling and tearing the golem's shell made of mithril. The golem seemed to feel threatened, and its two huge mechanical arms kept hitting the black dragon's body. -515! -648! -769! -887!
Murphy endured the increasingly intense pain from the blunt force trauma and pulled hard. With a ripping sound, the armor plate was torn open, revealing the huge magic crystal inside. Without hesitation, he tore the thing off with one claw and crushed it with force.
boom!
-56715 (critical hit)!
Treasure House Guardian (Magic Colossus): "A program error has occurred - the finalization program cannot be executed, the program is in disarray..."
Boom! The huge statue fell to the ground with a loud bang. Murphy thought to himself that this fatal blow was so cool.
As the golem fell, a metal door appeared behind it. Murphy tore the door open with one claw, and then his huge body shrank, turned into a human form, and walked in.
Before entering the room, he did not forget to turn off the live broadcast plug-in. He was not worried that the audience would know that he had looted the treasury, but in order to transfer the treasures, he would need to exploit a system loophole, and he did not want to teach the children bad lessons.
The huge treasury is filled with two rows of gorgeous display cabinets, which display the finest treasures from various precious collections collected by Dalaran over thousands of years.
Murphy didn't waste any time and started stuffing things into his bag.
The Sea Lord's Scepter - good stuff! The Book of Radiya - good stuff! The Void Grimoire - good stuff! The Arcane Crystal Robe - good stuff! The Arcane Crown of Temira, which is actually a plot item - even better stuff!
After plundering most of the treasury in one breath, Murphy came to the end of the treasury. It was empty and seemed to have nothing, only a bare wall. However, when his eyes swept across the wall, the identification technique attached to the ancient dragon wisdom found that an illusion magic was cast on the wall.
Murphy kicked, and a piece of the wall in front of him disappeared instantly, revealing a downward passage.
Murphy suddenly felt a sense of anticipation in his heart. He walked down the passage and found another door. The dark golden door seemed to be made of arcane. There were six keyholes on the door, and it seemed that six keys were needed to open it at the same time.
Needless to say, these six keys are most likely in the hands of the six archmages of the Kirin Tor Council.
It seems that there are real good stuff in here, Murphy felt excited.
If ordinary adventurers were faced with this thing, they would just have to wait and see. Getting the six keys is undoubtedly an epic difficulty. Even if they wanted to break it by force, the strength of Arcanite is extremely high, and ordinary attacks would probably not even be able to break through its defense.
But it's not a big problem for Murphy.
He directly took out the giant crushing hammer from his bag and smashed the door of the safe!
One hammer hit, -555!
Looking at the durability of the gate, it is as high as 20,000 points.
It looks like it's going to take some effort.
Murphy thought about it and swung the sledgehammer again with all his strength.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even with the giant hammer that had armor-piercing properties and siege damage, plus Murphy's extremely high strength attribute, it still took more than three minutes to smash the safe open. Murphy walked into the door excitedly.
But when he saw what was inside the secret room, Murphy was stunned. What was this?
On a stone platform, there is a strange dragon-shaped statue.
This statue was carved from an unknown stone and looked a little weathered, giving it a very ancient feeling. This antiquity was not in the human sense, but in the dragon sense.
Its specific age is completely unimaginable. Unlike the ordinary dragons that Murphy knows, this statue has two pairs of dragon wings, layered dragon horns on its head, and dragon scales on its body that have rock-like specifications and patterns. Its image features are completely different from any dragon that Murphy knows. It is not known whether this is an artistic processing or if there really is such a dragon in the world of the sky.
【Ancient Dragon Rock Statue (Ancient Relic)
Plot Items: Unique.
Use: Decipher the mysterious text on the statue to trigger an origin storyline.
Item Description: A rock statue of an ancient dragon. Its exact age cannot be verified. The ancient dragon is the ancestor of the dragon race in dragon mythology and legend. It is said that in the dark era when the universe was just born, the immortal ancient dragon once ruled the world. However, the dragon god fell, the ancient dragon died, and all the legends have been lost in the long river of history.
There are four lines of inscriptions on the base of the statue, written in ancient dragon language. Most people would not be able to understand it, but Murphy is an ancient black dragon, so he can naturally recognize the meaning. What is written on it is...
[Homeland of the Sky, the Sorrow of the Ancient Dragons, the End of Gods, the End of Dragon Feast]
I just don't know what the specific meaning is.
It was completely beyond Murphy's expectation that there was such a thing hidden in the hidden room of the treasury. He originally thought it would be some kind of artifact, or a legendary magic book or something like that, but it turned out to be a statue. Moreover, it was the first time he saw the suffix (ancient relic) on an item. What on earth was this?
The mysterious words on the statue should be referring to those ancient dragon languages.
The original plot... It sounds very exciting. This is the first time he has heard of this thing, and he doesn't know what will happen after it is triggered. Other things can be sold, but this thing must be kept and studied carefully later.
