Chapter 61

“Bah…”

Ye Bai walked alone in the giant corridor. The entire corridor was more than ten meters wide and more than five meters high. This height and width were obviously not built to accommodate the human body, but the larger dragon clan.

Even though Ye Bai walked lightly, an echo was still heard. Fortunately, all the undead were no longer here.

At the same time, there are many intertwined branches inside the passage. Because the size and architectural style of all the passages are basically the same, it is easy to imagine that the overall structure here is definitely a giant maze. If you explore aimlessly, you will definitely get lost.

What is even more foreseeable is that if one wants to find the dragon clan's treasure house when there is no unusual movement of the undead, it will be absolutely difficult. Not to mention that Ye Bai is now in the first level, even if he is in the third level, it will be difficult enough.

Including monsters, this is a typical dungeon instance, and it should be a place that requires at least a 25-person third-level team to consider exploring.

Fortunately, Ye Bai had a 'manual navigation' at this time.

"Turn left at the next intersection."

The paper man can not only serve as an early warning to the enemy, but more importantly, it can give Ye Bai guidance. This is one of the important reasons why she chose to cooperate with the paper man.

Following the direction indicated by the other party, Ye Bai did not take any detours and went deep into the heart of the underground city.

Sometimes when she was in a corridor, Ye Bai could still hear the sound of the undead running from other corridors not far away, but her place was always safe. Along the way, the paper man seemed to be well behaved, like a hardworking old man with golden fingers.

Finally, after passing through a circular corridor, Ye Bai stood beside a broken hole in the middle of the corridor. The paper man said to her:

"You'll get there if you go through here, but there's a ground dragon guarding the entrance to the treasure house. You need to find a way to divert its attention before you can get in."

There are a lot of damaged and broken traces of buildings nearby, and there are ruins of two different architectural styles. Combined with the fall of the Sky City, these ruins-like damage should be the result of a complete underground building being smashed into this state.

Looking at this broken passage formed by the impact, Ye Bai couldn't help but think that if these dragon descendants who worshipped and followed the ancient dragons were destroyed due to the fall of the sky city and thus all turned into undead... that would be a really sad thing.

As Ye Bai crawled into the crack, he asked, "How do you know what's going on here?"

"My perspective is different from the world you see. Every creature outside of the text has a very strong presence to me. I can feel all kinds of tiny situations, so I can warn you. Those words that contain magic are coordinates that can be jumped in my eyes..." The paper man described it and tried to explain the principle to Ye Bai.

2D space 'seeing' 3D space?

As a three-dimensional creature, Ye Bai tried to imagine...but couldn't imagine it.

"Forget it, I don't really understand you two-dimensional people."

The paper man wondered, "What is the second dimension?"

Ye Bai said casually: "You are two-dimensional, and I am three-dimensional."

"Oh..." The paper man seemed to understand something, and a bubble suddenly appeared on his head. Inside the bubble were a bunch of black dots whose contents were unclear. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Rustle..." Ye Bai bent down and walked step by step in the crack. After moving slowly for a few minutes, he saw the light on the other side.

This place is not long. It seems that there is a thick wall separating it from the treasure vault that the paper man mentioned. It is just relatively narrow for Ye Bai, but he cannot get in with his dragonborn body size.

With the reminder from the paper man, Ye Bai did not stick his head out, but looked out from the dark corner of the crack.

After observing from several angles, Ye Bai focused his gaze and saw a huge, tilted stone door not far from the passage outside the crack.

The familiar carvings on the stone door were in obvious ancient dragon language, which was automatically translated in Ye Bai's eyes, allowing her to recognize that it was an incomplete warning written in dragon language. This warning not only had content but also contained magic power. It was a warning magic that had expired.

At the same time, Ye Bai also received a system prompt.

[You discovered the 'Dragon Treasure House', you gained 20 historical experience points, you gained 20,000 experience points]

In addition to proving once again that knowledge is power, it also confirmed to Ye Bai that this was indeed the dragon clan's treasure house, and the paper man did not deceive her on this point.

After all, NPCs can lie, but system prompts cannot.

However, there was no one outside the treasure house.

“Hu…Hu…”

Rhythmic snoring echoed in the passage. Ye Bai looked towards the bottom of the giant stone door, where a huge monster over ten meters long lay.

The brown scales had lost their luster and looked gray and worn, with many signs of corrosion on them, looking like the state that would occur if a corpse naturally decayed. However, the body of the owner of this "corpse" was rising and falling regularly, appearing to be "alive", and wisps of ghostly fire would occasionally jump out from those corroded areas.

[Undead Earth Dragon]

Level: ? ?

Health: ??? / ???

Skills: Corrosive Breath, Earth Walk, ???

Weaknesses: Light, Fire, ???

After an insight, Ye Bai received feedback.

This gate-guarding undead earth dragon seemed to have not received any orders and was still sleeping soundly while guarding the door of the treasure house. Judging from the feedback, this guy was at least a level 70 elite or BOSS template.

The door of the treasure house was half-open, not completely closed, but the huge body of the ground dragon directly blocked the door of the treasure house. To enter through that gap, one must first pass the ground dragon.

Ye Bai used his eyes to assess the distance between the crack where he was and the door to the treasure house. His eyes moved, but he did not act immediately. Instead, he retreated into the crack, looked down at the magic scroll in his hand, and asked:

"So, with that big guy here, how are you going to get me in? What are we going to do to attract its attention?"

The paper man said, "I'll go get its attention."

"You?" Ye Bai raised his eyebrows: "How are you going to attract its attention?"

"There's dragon language written on the door to the treasure house. I can jump over and move around on the stone door to attract its attention." The paper man walked to the edge of the magic scroll and said to Ye Bai, "Just wake it up with an attack like frost missiles first."

"You've thought it through very carefully." Ye Bai praised the paper man.

As a 'two-dimensional' being, he is very flexible without a physical body, and even if he is attacked by an undead earth dragon, he will not be injured or killed.

"Of course, I will never let you take any risks." The paper man said sincerely and confidently.

Ye Bai didn't comment, but stuck his head out to look at the door of the treasure house: "Go ahead."

"Okay." The paper man responded, and the next moment, Ye Bai saw a strange human figure with a familiar painting style appear on the stone door of the treasure house - as expected, this guy had a different style of writing and painting.

The strange humanoid used the words on the stone gate to expand its body size, turning into a humanoid that was almost as big as the ground dragon.

"Okay."

He shouted to Ye Bai over there, but the Earth Dragon was still sleeping soundly and seemed unable to hear his voice.

Seeing this, Ye Bai moved his hand and generated an ice missile outside the gap.

“Chi!”

“Hu…Hu…Roar!”

The missile landed on the nose of the sleeping earth dragon. With a startled roar, two flames of soul fire lit up from the earth dragon's eye sockets, instantly waking it up from its slumber and looking around for the source of the attack.

Ye Bai immediately shrank back into the crack to avoid being seen by the ground dragon. Even inside the crack, she could see the part of its health bar that was wider than the passage.

The paper man also took action at this time, immediately showing his fangs and claws on the stone gate, turning into all kinds of strange shapes.

"roar!"

The undead earth dragon that was searching for the enemy was attracted by this scene and immediately spewed a mouthful of gray-black corrosive dragon flame towards the stone gate.

"Boom!" The dragon flame with an ominous aura sprayed directly on the gate, instantly covering the paper man figure in front.

However, the next moment, the paper man moved, facing the gaze of the Undead Earth Dragon, and jumped to another stone door. It was obvious that the three-dimensional attack had no effect on the 'two-dimensional' one.

The stone gate looked intact after the dragon flame passed through it, and was not damaged. As the gate to the dragon's treasure house, this kind of stone has extremely high resistance to magic.

"roar?"

The Undead Earth Dragon let out a puzzled roar. This time, it pounced directly towards the other gate, waving its sharp claws and launching a physical attack directly at the stone gate.

“Sizzle——!”

The claws of the ground dragon are extremely sharp. They are called "ground dragon" because they can walk directly by digging in the thick soil. With one claw, even the door of the treasure house will be scratched by it.

The behavior of undead creatures is rather rigid. As dragon descendants, undead earth dragons will choose to guard the dragon treasure house, but they have no awareness of not causing damage to the gate.

Ye Bai saw that the paper man was quite afraid of the claw marks of the ground dragon. He quickly changed his body shape on the stone door to avoid being scratched by it. At the same time, he hurriedly shouted to Ye Bai: "Hurry up and get in now!"

Knowing that this was the best time, Ye Bai jumped lightly from the crack and rolled towards the gate.

The Undead Earth Dragon seemed to sense something at this time. He ignored the paper man on the stone wall and turned around to look behind him.

At this time, Ye Bai looked at the shadow formed by the angle of the treasure house door, and his figure flashed -

Shadow Step!

The next moment, the Undead Earth Dragon flicked its tail and turned around, but saw that it was empty.

"roar?"

The undead flame in its eye sockets flickered twice, revealing obvious doubt.

At the same time, in the shadow of the half-open door behind it, a white cloak flashed in the darkness.

The Undead Earth Dragon turned around again and looked at the gate where there was something before, but now there was nothing there.

“Roar, roar, roar…”

After circling the spot for a few times, the Undead Earth Dragon found no unusual signs, so it could only crawl back to the door of the treasure house in confusion.

At this moment, behind the door of the treasure house, Ye Bai rolled out silently from the shadow of the treasure house.

The first thing that caught Ye Bai's eyes was the dazzling brilliance of various gems that illuminated the entire treasure room.

——Get rich!

Not to mention Ye Bai, anyone who sees this scene will be moved and sigh in their heart.

In almost all Western fantasy settings, dragons are a race that loves to collect all kinds of shining treasures. The same is true in the Myriad Worlds. As the dragon's treasure house, it is of course filled with all kinds of gems that reflect the dragon's hobbies.

And the gems that are qualified to be stored in the treasure house are not ordinary gems.

How exaggerated is it?

Ye Bai didn't see any gems smaller than a fist on these gem hills.

After all, compared to these night-shining pearls as big as heads, pearls emitting colorful halos, and rubies as big as basketballs... gems smaller than fists are embarrassing.

In fact, in the current interstellar era, it is very easy to synthesize these gems, but for Ye Bai, a backward ancient human, this scene is still a bit of a test for his heart, as if he had walked into a scene from an adventure movie.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Bai calmed down his shock.

Looking at the special glow covering these gems, he walked thoughtfully to the nearest deep and clear sapphire, but did not pick it up, but reached out and touched it.

【Charm Sapphire】

Level: Legend

Properties: Gem

Diameter: 25 cm

Weight: 160g

Feature - Dragon Mark: Collections marked by ancient dragons, no matter where they are, anyone who dares to steal the dragon clan’s private property will be hunted down by the dragon clan.

Sure enough, there is a mark...Ye Bai sighed.

Before coming to the Dragon Clan's treasure house, she had anticipated this situation.

The collections in the Dragon Clan's treasure house are too valuable. If Ye Bai can really sell one, he won't have to worry about gold coins for his future development. However, there are huge restrictions on obtaining items like these that destroy the balance.

The first thing is to be able to go to the Sky City, either by fighting your way up or by increasing the dragon clan's favorability. Then, after either robbery or theft, these treasures marked with the dragon clan's mark are like beacons. Once put into the backpack, the gems are bound and cannot be taken out.

This beacon will then attract the pursuit of dragons. Only by defeating the pursuing dragon and using its blood can the mark on it be washed away and the treasure be obtained intact.

But the problem is that the strong man who has the ability to kill the ancient dragon doesn't care about these gems.

The current situation is that the ancient dragon has been destroyed. Theoretically, Ye Bai will not be hunted down by the dragon clan if he takes the gems here, but this also means that these gems have become a big pit. After picking them up, they are placed in the backpack and cannot be taken out. Instead, they will fill up the grid of Ye Bai's backpack.

Of course, whether obtaining such a treasure is a blessing or a curse is another matter. If you bring it to the underworld, not everyone will be able to afford it, and it may even be a source of disaster.

Shaking his head, Ye Bai withdrew his hand.

As for these dazzling gems, she could only look at them as a background and satisfy her eyes.

However, the dragon's treasure house is not filled with only gems. Any spoils that the ancient dragons like will also be thrown in there.

Ye Bai remembered the code that the paper man had mentioned before, and felt that it was not an ordinary item. He continued to go deeper into the treasure house and came to the deepest area where various equipment and props were placed.

Then Ye Bai's gaze paused and fell on a platform in the center -

Compared to the other treasures piled up randomly into a small hill, there was nothing around that platform except for a soft, colorful black cloth pad with a distinct rectangular outline of a book on it, making it look like a book had been stored there for a long time.

At this moment, the voice of the paper figure on the magic scroll in his hand rang out, full of surprise: "Oh no, the code...is not in here anymore. It was taken away by those undead."

Ye Bai looked at the cloth pad, his eyes moved, and he quickly walked over to it. After touching it and finding that there was no mark, he took it in his hand.

【Exquisite cloth pad】

Level: Legend

Attribute: Decoration

Description: This cloth cushion is carefully woven by the masters of the Luozhi tribe. It is beautiful and has extremely high craftsmanship and collection value. It is worthy of being used to place the most precious treasures because it is itself a treasure.

It takes no effort!

Ye Bai showed a look of surprise. She had seriously underestimated the grade of the Dragon Clan's treasure house before. Although the fabrics of the Luozhi Clan were extraordinary, they were still not qualified to be stored in the Dragon Clan's treasure house.

Fortunately, the codex was extraordinary, and the cloth pads used happened to be made of the highest-grade Luozhi clan fabrics. Moreover, because it was not considered a collectible, it did not have the curse of the dragon clan!

"They took the code, and these undead want to perform a ritual. We..."

Before the paper man finished speaking, the voice disappeared because Ye Bai put the magic scroll into his backpack.

A moment later, the paper man emerged from the wall closest to Ye Bai, using the broken dragon language characters on the treasure house's stone wall. He asked Ye Bai in confusion, "Why did you take the magic scroll back... What are you doing?"

"Because I want to experiment with something." Ye Bai said, holding the snow-colored sword in his hand, and quickly drew a circle around the paper man's figure on the wall.

Realizing what Ye Bai was going to do, the paper man ran out of the circle, but Ye Bai had already closed the circle. If the paper man continued to move forward, he would be cut by the sword mark, so he could only take a step back.

This was the inspiration Ye Bai got when he saw the earth dragon scratching the stone gate. Attacks in three-dimensional space could not affect the paper man, but directly affecting the two-dimensional content itself like this could.

"Why did you do that?"

The paper man fell down and sat down beside the circle, and asked Ye Bai with some grievance and frustration.

Thinking of how hard the paper man had worked just now, Ye Bai felt a pang of conscience and apologized briefly before returning to his expressionless face.

"I think this will ensure the authenticity of my communication with you to a certain extent... How do you know I can use Frost Missiles?"

Just looking at his equipment, there is no way to tell that Ye Bai is a mage. If it hadn't been revealed during the battle, not only the mercenaries, but even the high-level professional Dilina wouldn't have noticed it. How did the paper man find out?

The paper figure said dejectedly, "This is revealed by the information on you. Because the curse is connected to you, I can see some of your 'information'."

information……

Ye Bai was shocked. Could this be a way to read her player's character information panel?

The paper figure said, "As I said before, my vision is different from yours. The world I see is made up of all kinds of information. How many meters away is the treasure vault from you? How many meters away is the living undead from you..."

At this point, the paper man suddenly stopped and said, "Hide quickly, the undead are approaching!"

This sentence has become a conditioned reflex for Ye Bai. Under the guidance of the paper man, she quickly hid behind a pile of treasures.

Soon, a series of footsteps were heard coming in and out of the treasure house door.

With a quick glance, Ye Bai saw seven or eight undead walking in, and they were high-level elite undead of the Yalong people.

“Clatter…”

There was a sound of things being rummaged through, as if they were looking for something, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer to Ye Bai.

Shadow Step still has two minutes of cooldown. Ye Bai's heart is beating like a drum, and he has already started thinking about what combat strategy to use if he is discovered.

At this moment, Ye Bai heard the voice of the paper man again. He said to her anxiously, "Hurry up and put on the mask two meters to your left. It can disguise you as a ghost."

Ye Bai remembered what the paper man said about being able to see "information". He had an idea and followed what he said. He looked towards the pile of treasures and sure enough, he saw a gray oval mask among them.

Feeling the footsteps of the undead getting closer and closer, she thought that the paper man still needed her to find the code, and the paper man should not cheat her at this time.

Ye Bai hunched over and quickly reached for the mask.

“Crash…”

Unexpectedly, the position where the masks were stacked was not stable. As Ye Bai pulled them out, it triggered a chain reaction, and a lot of the items stacked nearby slid down and made a noise.

The footsteps coming towards this side immediately quickened and turned into running.

In the critical moment, Ye Bai didn't have time to look at the information of the mask, and quickly equipped it on the [Mask] equipment bar.

It was clearly a mask without eyes, ears, mouth or nose, but after it was put on, it was empty and did not affect Ye Bai's breathing or vision at all.

At this time, the undead also rushed over.

Leading the way were two tall elite undead dragons. When they saw Ye Bai sitting on the ground wearing a mask, they paused.

Two pairs of four-point ghost flames jumped, then turned around and looked at the other undead that followed, as if they were analyzing something, and seemed confused.

Ye Bai tightly grasped the snow-colored sword, ready to cast magic at any time. Under the gaze of the undead, he slowly stood up from the ground without saying a word.

They just stared at each other in silence for a while. It seemed that the undead were not very good at counting and did not notice that Ye Bai was the extra person. They withdrew their gaze, ignored Ye Bai, and continued to search around.

Ye Bai watched their actions and soon discovered that they were searching for the black abyssal gem among the magical objects around them.

Seeing Ye Bai standing still, one of the undead looked at him in confusion.

“…” Ye Bai had no choice but to pretend to look around.

Various items that looked extraordinary flashed through Ye Bai's eyes, but unfortunately she only had time to glance at the wearing requirements. If she found that they were not suitable, she had to withdraw her hands immediately. Once she took these things, they would become bound items. If she could not meet the equipment requirements, she could not equip them herself, and she would never be able to throw them away.

Soon, after someone got a piece of the Deep Gem, the undead stopped moving and began to walk out of the treasure house one by one.

Seeing this, Ye Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that he could take a closer look after these undead spirits left.

Unexpectedly, at this time an undead guard stopped and looked back at Ye Bai.

As it stopped, the other undead also heard the noise and stopped.

Eight pairs of eyes with dancing soul flames stared at Ye Bai, as if asking her why she didn't leave.

Ye Bai, who had no choice but to follow the team, now understood that the undead count only increases and never decreases!

The nine-member undead team left the treasure house under the watchful eyes of the Undead Earth Dragon. A few seconds before they walked out of the stone door of the treasure house, a magic scroll quickly appeared in the hands of the last short 'undead' and then disappeared quickly.
