Sure enough, after the raven picked up the card that had fallen to the ground, Liu Nian discovered that it was a piece of equipment, specifically the shoes that his group was currently lacking.
[Goblin Rocket Boots] (Blue Quality)
Defense: 4-6
Magic Defense: 6-9
Effect: Increases fire resistance by ten points.
Effect: Can be used actively to increase your movement speed by 100% for 15 seconds. Can only be used once per hour.
Note: The local goblin company does not guarantee successful ignition every time. The claim that the shoes will explode is pure slander! — Goblin Merchant Wesker
Ah... Seeing this note made Liu Nian a little scared. Should he wear them or not? Holding the shoes, he started to hesitate.
In the end, I decided to put it on anyway. At worst, I just won't use this skill anymore.
And with such high magic resistance, there shouldn't be any problems... right? Liu Nian thought uncertainly.
These shoes are made of an unknown metal, are lightweight, and are covered in red paint.
On the surface, these shoes are full of technology and ruthlessness, somewhat like cyberpunk style, and have a very sci-fi feel.
After successfully obtaining the key, I rushed back to the library.
No one was alerted during this time. Of course, anyone who could be alerted would be lying down.
Several keys were hanging on the keychain, and Liu Nian patiently tried them one by one.
[Entry requires the curator's key]
[Entry requires the curator's key]
[Entry requires the curator's key]
The system's tireless voice rang out, and Liu Nian inserted the last key into the lock, a hint of hesitation arising in his previously calm heart.
The hopes of the entire village rest on your shoulders!
If it really doesn't work, then forget it, it's too much trouble!
After calming himself down, he turned the key.
With a click, the wooden door opened.
As expected, Liu Nian was secretly delighted.
Stepping inside, the library remains exactly as it was back then.
After failing to find anything on the first floor, I decided to go up to the second floor.
At that moment, a raven on the other side issued a warning, seemingly having discovered a portal entrance.
Liu Nian led his summoned creatures to the location where the raven had warned them, and sure enough, he found a black portal there.
It's definitely an otherworldly instance, but we don't know where we'll be teleported to this time.
With this question in mind, Liu Nian stepped into the teleportation portal.
The familiar dizziness returned, and when Liu Nian opened one eye again, she found herself inside a building.
Behind him was a black iron door, its surface congealed with dark red blood.
I gave it a push, but it didn't budge.
With their way out cut off, it's the same old story.
Black walls, black floors, and everything in sight was black except for a few places illuminated by torches on the walls.
Liu Nian wanted to take a deep breath to dispel the oppressive emotions, but the stench of decay made it difficult for her to breathe.
Most importantly, the skeletal warhorse cannot be summoned indoors.
Weakening, a severe weakening.
With speed reduced, caution is the only option left.
Fortunately, the spatial ring was still working properly. After lighting a torch, Liu Nian began to explore his surroundings, hoping to find some clues.
Apart from the iron gate that couldn't be opened, there was only one entrance to the entire room: a tightly closed wooden door.
Pushing open the wooden door soaked in dark red blood, one enters a long corridor, at the end of which lies only despairing darkness.
Mustering her courage, Liu Nian walked deeper into the corridor, wishing that someone would come along and chat with her.
Okay, that's too much to ask. Liu Nian lowered his request. Even a non-human creature would be fine!
If this kind of oppressive atmosphere continues, I'll die from low sanity before even seeing the boss.
As if sensing Liu Nian's inner longing, footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor.
Tap tap tap tap tap tap.
A dense chorus of footsteps approached Liu Nian in the darkness.
The corridor only allows five skeletons to stand side by side, which limits the effectiveness of summoned creatures.
On the bright side, with so many summoned creatures in front of him, Liu Nian wasn't particularly worried about his safety. He held the torch and waited for the newcomer to reveal his true form.
A group of hideous green-skinned creatures with two horns on their heads rushed out of the darkness. They were on all fours and the size of adult Tibetan mastiffs.
If it weren't for their different skin tones, you'd think they were close relatives of ghouls; they really look so alike.
Any noise is good; at least it can dispel the feeling of fear.
He kept complaining while his hands kept moving.
Information gathering
Pollution Demon, lv.15, Attack 12-16, Defense 8-10, HP 300, Stamina: 300, Skill: Pollution Spray.
Pollution Spray: Sprays a stream of venom at a single target in front, causing continuous toxic damage.
(The duration and damage amount depend on the target's poison resistance)
Amplify Damage Curse should be cast on their heads first, while archers and cave demons in the back row should ignore darkness and prioritize their ranged advantage.
Before the invading corruption demons could even get close, they were riddled with bone arrows. One unlucky creature was bound by spider silk and then trampled to death by the corruption demons behind it.
[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully defeating the Corruption Demon and gaining 150 experience points.]
Liu Nian was excited to find that a single Corruption Demon had 300 experience points. Sure enough, leveling up still relied on dungeons.
Even after the skeleton warriors and the corrupted demons have fully engaged the enemy, the archers in the back row can still shoot at the corrupted demons that cannot be attacked from the back row.
Moreover, although the corridor was too narrow for Liu Nian, vampires are not affected by the terrain and can still play a role.
On the other hand, the pollution demons' pollutant spits had little effect on the skeletons, as the skeletons had high poison resistance.
So after resisting for a while, these pollution demons were completely reduced to Liu Nian's experience points reward.
After the raven ransacked the place, Liu Nian sped through the corridor.
Fortunately, they did not encounter any other monsters until they reached the end of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor was still a black wooden door. Liu Nian carefully pushed the door open, but there was no ambush at the doorway.
Liu Nian first sent the raven out to patrol, and only after confirming that there was no danger did he enter the room.
The room Liu Nian entered was a spacious, empty room. As far as Liu Nian could see, there was nothing but blank space, with no furniture at all, making her wonder about its purpose.
However, it's better to have more open space, so that the summoned creatures can be arranged to the maximum extent, unlike before when only a few skeletons could exert their combat power.
This is normal, after all, not everyone has a profession like Liu Nian's, where they can lead a group of followers.
If other professions come to run the dungeon, the corridor is actually the most ideal terrain, as it can be used to limit the opponent's numerical advantage.
While Liu Nian was observing the situation in the room, some movement came from the darkness where he couldn't see clearly. It sounded like the sound of wings flapping.
Upon hearing this, Liu Nian's expression turned serious; it seemed the flight unit was in some trouble.
The raven's warning call came from the darkness. Liu Nian looked at the shadowy spot from which the noise came, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
