Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 49: Secret Entry into Chencang
With the help of the flames everywhere and the increasingly thick smoke, Levi and his men quickly got into a gap in the ruined camp.
Since he was not forcing his enemy head-on, in order to make his move as secretive as possible, he only brought Donna and Sam with him. The others were taken care of by Zhou Miyin and stayed in the jungle to act as support.
His target was very clear, which was a wooden house several dozen meters away from where the kobolds had moved out the stone slabs. According to his judgment, that was most likely the kobolds' warehouse.
At the same time, there happened to be a gap in the camp in this direction, and it was relatively close to the forest. Even if it was discovered by the enemy, there would not be too much obstacles when escaping.
What's even more interesting is that this place had been ravaged by a group of coyotes before, so all the traps and pits around were triggered by them, which was just convenient for Levi and his team.
This time they did not encounter any accidents and arrived at the door very smoothly. Sam, who was well prepared, immediately opened the small toolbox he had been carrying around his waist, took out some wire and other things, and easily opened the door lock in a few seconds.
Then Levi and the others opened the door of the warehouse and looked at Donna. They all felt that the whole process was so smooth that it was even a little incredible.
Sam closed the door quietly. Levi was about to praise him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately closed it tightly again. He even couldn't help but want to cover his mouth and nose. The smell in the warehouse was too bad. It was a stench of fermentation after a rotting corpse!
As far as they could see, they did not see much treasure, but instead the corpses of various wild beasts and even humanoid creatures.
Legend has it that kobolds usually kill captives for food, and only a small number of the smartest kobolds will occasionally sell captives as slaves to gray dwarves, drow elves, and other evil races in the Underdark. Now this rumor has been confirmed.
Among the corpses were humans, orcs, goblins and gnolls.
But more of them are creatures that are roughly human-like, but with severely degenerated eyes, a hunched body, and a small tail behind its butt.
That is the dark caveman, one of the initial optional races, also known as caveman or blind man.
The appearance of their corpses in such a large number in the warehouse of the kobolds directly confirmed Levi and Donna's previous speculation, because the cavemen are an evil race that only lives in the Underdark.
Hundreds of broken and rotten corpses were laid out here, and the pungent stench made several people look ugly, even Donna, an Amazon expert in hunting and fighting.
The Amazons make a living by hunting, and processing animal carcasses has almost become an instinct for them. Whether it is an ordinary wild boar or a dinosaur, they can handle it perfectly. They will not let the prey rot to this extent.
The halfling thief Sam's face also turned a little blue, and he even couldn't help retching.
The halflings are not a race that is good at fighting. Their best skill is actually cooking, because in addition to their dexterous hands, their tongues and noses are also more sensitive than those of ordinary humans.
Under normal circumstances, this would help them to distinguish the flavors of various ingredients more carefully, but now this special feature has brought him extra hardships.
Levi was also very uncomfortable, although he had played many brutal and bloody games before, such as the Three Kingdoms, Guandu, Chibi and other decisive battles, where tens of millions of people were killed and injured. It was not an exaggeration to call it a bloody battle.
But those games were nowhere near as realistic as this one, so realistic that you could see an orc's wound on his body, and there happened to be three white maggots twisting their bodies. It was so realistic that he could even feel his stomach twitching again and again, as if he could really vomit something !
He forced himself to suppress his many negative emotions: "Sam, cheer up, it's up to you to deal with the possible traps and treasure chests next. Donna, help me see if there are any special loot."
After saying that, he used the summoning magic again. Now several people were in bad condition and they were busy looking for treasure chests. They were really too distracted to do anything else, so it was just right to let the summoned creature act as a guard.
As for the duration, there is no need to worry at all. After all, this is the lair of the kobolds. They are literally pulling teeth from a dog's mouth. How long can they stay here?
Soon, with the flash of light, a small wind element and a giant ape more than one meter tall appeared in front of him.
Unlike ordinary apes, this giant ape has a very ferocious expression, his eyes are almost bloodshot, and there is a circle of very ferocious sharp teeth and fangs in his mouth, making him look very difficult to mess with.
This is the Level 1 monster among the summoned monsters - the Violent Ape.
As soon as he appeared, a clear but slightly manic consciousness came to Levi's heart, which roughly meant to ask him who to beat.
This slightly funny thought slightly alleviated his discomfort. He simply patted the ferocious ape on the shoulder, and then signaled it and the small wind element to watch the gate together, and to issue an alarm immediately if any enemy came in.
The ferocious ape opened its mouth and roared. It was very reluctant to have no enemies to beat, but under the constraints of magic, it finally chose to obey the order.
As for the small wind element, it behaved very docilely. When Levi saw that its experience value was already more than 60%, he knew that it must be the old friend who had been cooperating with him for a long time, and it had taken a lot of experience points from Levi.
Levi looked at the status bar of the Fierce Ape and found that there was nothing particularly outstanding about its attributes, but one of its ferocious skills was very special.
Its effect is that when attacking or being attacked, strength and attack power have a chance to gain additional bonuses, while defense power will be reduced.
If the God-chosen hero has such subordinates, it is not very useful because it is easy to suffer casualties. However, for summoned creatures, this skill is very good, just like the Deinonychus summoned last time.
At the same time, he roughly understood why many indigenous people said that ferocious animals were particularly difficult to deal with. This thing was just like the berserker in other games.
Despite feeling mentally and physically uncomfortable, Donna and Sam responded and quickly found their target.
Behind the pile of corpses were a large number of extremely neatly arranged stone slabs, cut wood, and various broken weapons and armors, as well as shiny stones and kobold gold mines piled together in a mess.
Leaving Donna and Sam to continue searching for other possible valuable loot, Levi himself walked directly to the pile of stones.
Although every village would try to cut down trees in the surrounding area and dig and polish usable stones, it was impossible for either the ogres or ordinary villagers to produce such neatly arranged, identical stone slabs. These must have come from the legendary God-given building - the quarry!
Reaching out and touching it, the huge stone slab suddenly disappeared, and a pattern of a stone slab that was reduced countless times appeared in his primary space backpack. The note on it clearly stated that it was high-end stone produced from the God-given building quarry.
At the same time, a system prompt popped up, saying that based on the level of his current space backpack and the particularity of these stone slabs, the maximum number of stackings per grid is 10.
His primary space backpack only had 10 slots in total, which were previously used to hold the team's food supplies and arrows.
Although the half-elf hunters all have quivers, they can usually only hold about 20 quivers, which is too small a quantity. So Levi went directly to the blacksmith shop and bought some in bulk. One grid can hold 100 quivers. Generally, he would prepare at least 500 quivers each time he went out, which took up 5 grids.
With the occasional loot he got on the road, the backpack was basically full, so he was forced to return to the village frequently to sell the loot and then replenish his arrows.
After seeing the system's remarks, he didn't waste any time at all. He threw away all the supplies, arrows, and the crappy equipment he had obtained from fighting monsters like ogres, and instead focused on equipping himself with this special stone.
However, he still overestimated the gnolls' storage. When he just filled the seventh grid, there was no more stone slabs in the warehouse.
He began to hesitate whether to pack some wooden boards back, but there were large forests outside every village and there was no shortage of wood, so these things would not be sold for much money.
At this moment, Sam suddenly cheered: "Sir, I found the treasure chest!"
