Chapter 545 Magic Circle
"Ugly freak! Stop looking at me! If you weren't too ugly to eat, I would definitely turn you into a dead fish when I pull out my life-saving trump card!"
Seeing the unwilling look of the strange fish, Gervis cursed angrily. If it weren't for the strong defense of the strange fish, he would definitely take this opportunity to kill it.
boom!
Just as Gervis was mocking the strange fish, the strange fish suddenly attacked. The blue markings covering its body began to flash rapidly, and then it suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a blue ball of light towards Gervis.
When Gervis saw the ball of light, he was not panicked. He had been on guard for a long time and easily dodged it with a side step.
The missed ball of light hit the rock wall behind it and exploded.
"Yo! You still have a bad temper! Take this big fireball from me!"
After dodging the attack of the strange fish, Gervis threw a big red fireball without thinking, which instantly hit the strange fish's head that was half exposed above the water!
roar!
The strange fish was hit hard by the fireball and roared angrily, but it could do nothing about Gervis on the shore. Then the fish rolled over and sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared.
"You're walking fast!"
After seeing the big fish leave, Gervis withdrew his gaze and began to look around. He worked so hard just for the treasure, so of course he was most concerned about where the treasure was.
The place where Gervis is now is a very large cave, and there is a straight passage in front of the cave. The light he just saw came from the passage.
Every five or six meters in the passage, there was a lychee-sized pearl emitting a soft light.
"It seems that this adventure is worth it!"
Gervis' eyes widened, and he immediately forgot what had just happened. This passage was incredible. There were so many deep-sea pearls.
This pearl is taken from a strange shellfish in the deep sea. It can absorb energy from between heaven and earth on its own, and then emit a bright and soft light.
Even though this deep-sea pearl can only be used for lighting, in this world without electricity, its value is immeasurable.
Moreover, due to its origin, this deep-sea pearl has become rare. It is a symbol of power and nobility, and generally only large families can own it.
The reason why Gervis knew this thing was because he saw Adela, Laci and others carrying and using it when they were traveling some time ago.
This thing is much more useful than a torch at night. It is not only safe but also bright enough.
Gervis also heard Lach boast that his father rewarded him with more than ten such pearls, all of which he kept in his study, so that he could read at night as if it were daytime.
What Gervis remembers most clearly is the price of this thing. Five hundred gold coins is the starting price, and it also depends on its size. The larger the size and the higher the brightness, the more expensive it is.
And those in the passage are obviously not that bad.
“I’m rich!”
Seeing such a good thing, Gervis naturally would not let it go, and then he began his great wall-knocking campaign.
…
"Master Steward, the young lady has been down for more than ten minutes!"
Four or five miles away from the lake where Gervis is located, there is also a crystal clear lake. In the center of the lake there is also a dark and bottomless pit.
A group of people from the Sacred Trading Company were guarding the clear lake. A manager of the trading company was sitting leisurely on a bluestone nearby with his eyes closed.
A guard captain stood in front of him and reminded him with an anxious look on his face.
"I know! It's okay, just keep waiting!"
The manager of the trading company paid no attention to the captain of the guard's reminder. He kept his eyes closed and replied calmly.
"Yes! Steward!"
Seeing the manager's reaction, the guard didn't dare to say anything more. The man in front of him was a senior manager in the Sacred Trading Company. If he said to wait, then they could only continue to wait.
The eldest daughter of the Sacred Trading Company, the enchanting woman Lolita whom Gervis and the others had seen, had dived into the unfathomable deep pit in the lake more than ten minutes ago and had not surfaced until now.
As titled knights, they naturally knew that with the young lady's strength at the initial stage of gold, being able to stay underwater for ten minutes was already the limit.
But the problem is that it has been at least 15 minutes, but Miss Lolita has not returned yet.
If the manager of the trading company had not been waiting calmly, they would have jumped into the lake to look for him.
…
"Haha! Big profit!"
At the end of the underground cave passage, Gervis was holding a bulging black leather bag in his hand, which contained more than twenty deep-sea pearls!
Moreover, the size of these deep-sea pearls was much larger than the ones Laci had that day. Gervis was sure that his deep-sea pearls were at least comparable to the ones in Adela's hand.
After patting the black leather bag, Gervis tied it firmly around his waist and continued moving forward.
After Gervis took a few steps, a wider cave appeared in front of him, which was several times wider than the place where he had just landed.
Moreover, Gervis could see many signs of human activities in this cave, which was also inlaid with deep-sea pearl lighting.
"Well, the deep-sea pearl in this cave is also mine!"
Thinking this in his mind, Gervis walked out of the passage in three or two steps and stepped cautiously into the bright cave.
Just as he entered the entrance of the cave and saw the scene in the center of the cave, Gervis restrained his smile, frowned, and began to hesitate.
"That should be a magic circle! And what is the red liquid in the pool in the middle of the magic circle!"
The reason why Gervis didn't dare to move forward was because he sensed a dangerous aura.
There is a small platform in the center of the cave, which is more than half a person's height, and there are six thick pillars standing on the corners of the platform.
The most peculiar thing was that there were densely packed purple inscriptions engraved on the pillars. Although Gervis had never seen a real magic circle, he used his brain to compare it with what he had seen in books and immediately confirmed that there was a magic circle on the platform.
And judging from the inscriptions that were still glowing, the magic circle was obviously still functioning normally.
In addition to the magic circle, there is a one-meter square pool in the center of the platform, filled with boiling red liquid.
Originally, when faced with such a strange scene, Gervis could have taken a longer detour, but the problem was that the red dot shown on his radar happened to be at the location of the platform.
"This is going to be difficult! The magic circle set up by the wizard is no joke. If you don't do it right, you're done!"
Looking at the platform, Gervis fell into pain. He finally came here after so much hardship, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
This cheating system really cheated him and there was no room for negotiation!
Tap! Tap!
"How could there be someone?"
Just when Gervis was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the front.
The sound was clear and quick, so Gervis was sure it was the footsteps of a living person.
The sound came from the other side of the platform, where there was also a wide passage.
In the face of such a situation, Gervis dared not delay and quickly crawled behind a half-man-high stone.
Then he bent down and carefully looked from behind the rock in the direction where the sound came from.
Tap! Tap!
"It's her!"
As the crisp footsteps got closer, Gervis finally saw the owner of the footsteps.
Thanks to "Miss you", "Kanpi", "Chunhan", and "Book friend 20181216183631400" for their rewards!!!
