Chapter 131: Chapter 106: Blood Soul Insects, the 5,000-Defense Turtle Shell
“Where is the Wizard inheritance?”
After a short rest, Sunan began to talk about business.
Rose took out a roll of parchment and unfolded it. It was densely packed with lines and text, a map.
“This is the Human-faced Lion City State.”
Rose pointed to a spot on the map, then moved her finger to another point not far away.
“This is where the Wizard inheritance is located.”
Sunan glanced at her in surprise, “Looks like you’ve spent quite some time in the underground world to have even drawn a map.”
“It’s just a small area, not even one percent of the total area of the underground world,”
Rose shrugged, suddenly seemed to remember something, and said with a smile:
“Do you want it? Ten magical stones for you.”
“Deal!”
Without a second thought, Sunan agreed.
This was immensely valuable information!
Even if he possessed his past life’s memory, it would have been impossible to memorize the extensive terrain of the underground world completely.
He had no impression of the area around the Human-faced Lion City State at all.
If he had Rose’s map, it would undoubtedly make future actions much less troublesome.
The key part was that the map also marked out several discovered mineral veins’ locations and approximate reserves.
With this map, once he dealt with the threat of the Human-faced Lion City State in the future, he could follow the map to develop the mineral veins in this area.
This alone made ten magical stones worth it.
“Oh, and there are Divine Blood Ambers, a total of six, I’ll give them to you as well.”
In the end, Sunan paid a total of one hundred and thirty magical stones and acquired a map and six Divine Blood Ambers.
“When do you plan to act?” Rose asked.
“The sooner, the better. Let’s go now.”
Sunan didn’t want to delay for too long since the Human-faced Lion City State was like a ticking time bomb.
He needed to settle the Wizard inheritance matter quickly so he could prepare to deal with the Human-faced Lion City State.
Rose had no objections.
The two of them did a quick rest and then set out on their journey.
Considering that the Human-faced lions might still be searching for their whereabouts, they cautiously distanced themselves from the Lake Heart Island, circled around using the Floating Skill, and crossed the lake.
With Rose leading the way, it didn’t take long for them to find a cave entrance on the rocky wall deep within the cavern, which they then entered.
Beyond the cave was a long tunnel.
Rose took out a glowing Crystal Stone and quietly led the way ahead, occasionally checking the map.
Traveling in the underground world was entirely different from the surface world.
Here, there were no distinct landmarks or wide-open views, only labyrinthine passages resembling a spider’s web and omnipresent darkness.
Even the most experienced travelers, armed with detailed maps, found it challenging to navigate such an environment.
Because of the interference from ground radiation, devices like compasses were utterly useless.
Thus, getting lost was the greatest challenge faced in the underground world, even for native inhabitants.
Fortunately, this wasn’t an issue for Level 3 Wizard Apprentices.
The immense Spiritual Power of a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice endowed each one with a photographic memory.
They could recognize even the most complex paths if they walked them once.
Throughout the journey, relying on the map and their memory, Rose never got lost.
After about half a day’s journey, they finally reached their destination.
“The Wizard inheritance I found is in there,” Rose indicated, pointing at a distant, pitch-black cave entrance.
Sunan focused his gaze; the entrance was unexpectedly enormous, a semicircle with a radius of about ten meters.
The faint light outside couldn’t penetrate inside, making it look like a silent black hole, inducing a sense of dread from afar.
“The Refined Gold Golem is inside. Once you’re within fifty meters of the cave, it will appear and issue a warning. If you don’t leave within half a minute or if you initiate an attack, it will attack intruders.”
“However, as long as you retreat beyond one hundred meters from the cave, it will cease its pursuit.”
Sunan understood.
A golem is somewhat similar to a robot.
Without a controller to issue commands, it acts according to pre-set programs.
The Refined Gold Golem that Rose mentioned clearly had the duty of protecting this Wizard inheritance.
It’s akin to the Black Rock Leopard that ambushed them when he discovered the Wizard inheritance in the mines of Black Rock City four years ago.
“Get ready,” Sunan said.
“Be careful. That Refined Gold Golem is very formidable,”
Rose warned sternly as if she’d suffered quite a setback from it.
Sunan nodded and said nothing, taking a step toward the cave entrance.
As he stepped within fifty meters of the entrance, heavy footsteps echoed from the darkness, followed by the appearance of a massive figure, seven or eight meters tall.
The Refined Gold Golem looked remarkably similar to a Steel Golem, apart from its dark red hue and the cold metallic sheen it reflected under the faint light, giving off a chilling aura.
“Intruder detected! Warning! Please evacuate the area immediately, or eradication will commence!”
“Intruder detected…”
The Refined Gold Golem emitted a repetitive, cold mechanical voice.
Without another word, Sunan launched his assault.
From the onset, he unleashed a fierce and deadly attack!
In an instant, countless silver liquids oozed from Sunan’s pores, swirling around him and rapidly transforming into countless sharp spikes.
The next second, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom, countless densely packed spikes shot forth, engulfing the Refined Gold Golem like a metallic storm!
