Chapter 114 Determination
"Click!"
Li He finally inserted the crystal key into the keyhole and opened the secret room.
Entering it, opening the fourth Pampas Box, you will see a brand new and extremely special magic prop inside.
Different from the phantom mask that can change one's appearance, what appears in front of the eyes is three green leaves connected together.
The leaves had a very special function. The moment it was lifted, Li He already knew that it was a defensive curse.
Wearing the leaves on your body can resist powerful curses, even those cast by powerful wizards. However, resisting the curse will consume the energy of the leaves. The more curses you resist, the more yellow the leaves will turn from emerald green.
If the curse is powerful enough, all three leaves may turn yellow at the same time, rendering them useless.
Theoretically, this magical item cannot improve combat ability and cannot directly bring benefits, but considering its function, it can sometimes save lives.
Li He put away the magic prop called "Uncursed Leaf" and looked at the dimmer crystal key in his hand. After thinking for two seconds, he searched for the treasure and left again, running towards the hotel.
When I passed Heist Village again this time, Heist Village became deserted again.
Passing through Hester Village and heading quickly towards the way they came, I once again saw the illusion of myself and Frank and his party, which was slightly different from before.
Ignore the illusion and continue forward, reaching the fork in the road and heading towards the hotel.
At a certain point on the road, Li He suddenly pulled the horse's reins hard, causing the horse to raise its front hooves high and step down hard, forcing it to stop.
He looked to both sides of the road and noticed that just in front of and behind him, the trees suddenly changed from sparse to lush.
The terrain, soil and other conditions did not change significantly, but the plants were differentiated.
And he also felt it with the help of enhanced perception.
Although it's not clear, he seems to be on the edge of some mysterious area.
He had some enlightenment and felt that some of his previous doubts had been answered.
Why was it such a coincidence that Frank and his entourage, the apprentices from Thorn Valley, the apprentices from Bone Abbey, and him happened to meet together?
It was probably due to the abnormal passage of time that they arrived at the same time despite originally arriving at different times. Because of this, the fat chef of the hotel said that he only went there for a while and then returned.
Why was the Blood Countess's treasure information known to many people, but when he and Frank explored it, it was the first time. Has no one ever explored it before?
No, but the Blood Countess used some means to cause time distortion in the treasure. Even if it is explored, it will be refreshed and reset.
Therefore, what the Blood Countess left to him was not an empty treasure that might be seized by others first, but a special treasure that could be refreshed multiple times.
One harvest of treasure can be considered rich, but the same harvest can come several times before it is truly worthy of the term treasure.
Apart from anything else, some ordinary and top-quality magic props and high-level magic crystals will be ignored for the time being. They are just special magic props that appear every time in the secret room. If you have a few more, they will be of infinite value.
He was curious about how many times he could explore the treasure and how much profit he could get.
Thinking of this, he fixed his gaze, turned the horse's head without saying anything, and returned to the treasure.
I quickly arrived at the entrance of the treasure and activated it skillfully. This time with dark clouds, many fish fell from the air, including big fish, small fish, freshwater fish, saltwater fish, and even some rare deep-sea fish. It makes one wonder if there is an aquarium in the dark clouds.
Li He did not dwell on this. He waited for the white mist to appear and the entrance to open, and quickly entered the treasure for the third exploration.
This time, in addition to similar gains, he got a heart-shaped gem the size of a fist.
The name of the gem is "Regeneration Heart", and its function is to be implanted in the body to greatly improve the body's recovery ability. At the same time, if the body's heart is damaged, it can replace the heart in a short time and save life.
...
and explore again.
The fourth time, Li Hyuk got a cloak called the Mimic Cloak.
Its function is that it can change color and shape according to the surrounding conditions to adapt to the environment, and at the same time it can conceal energy fluctuations to avoid detection.
...
The fifth time, Li He got a branch, which looked very ordinary, with one end burnt black and one section sprouting.
But it is the only thing with powerful attack power...
...
the exploration continues again and again.
When Li He explored for the fifth time, he just left the treasure when he suddenly heard a "crash" sound and quickly took out the crystal key from his clothes.
I saw tiny cracks appearing on the entire crystal key, and with just a slight touch, it instantly turned into powder.
Immediately afterwards, the hill where the treasure was hidden collapsed with a "boom".
Li He squinted his eyes and tested it several times to confirm that the treasure had been destroyed.
Without accidents, this treasure would not exist in the future.
For him, there is not much to regret, after all, he has benefited hugely.
But he was not happy about it.
Because he thought of some things behind this incident.
The treasure was left by the Countess of Blood. It was a test and a reward for him.
He passed the test and received an excessive reward, but the problem was that he also saw more clearly the terrifying strength of the Blood Countess.
The treasure with time distortion and the ability to be refreshed multiple times was set up by the Blood Countess, which can prove that the other party has this ability to affect time.
And by understanding the contents recorded in the "Book of Destiny", he can confirm that the field of time magic is something that most wizards dare not touch. Only a handful of extremely powerful wizards will take the risk to study it and try to control it.
So, the Blood Countess is the small group of people who stand at the top of the world?
The opponent's strength seemed to be much stronger than he expected.
From this point of view, the other party's denial of him in Blackstone Castle was more reasonable.
If such a powerful wizard doesn't dare to figure out the mystery behind the wizard's power and understand everything, how can he do it?
Did he lose?
No, he will not admit defeat, even if the opponent is stronger than he expected.
Maybe the other party is strong.
Perhaps the difficulties ahead stand like a mountain.
Perhaps the more he knew, the smaller he found himself.
Perhaps the further he looked, the more he realized that he was just a tiny ant in this mysterious world of wizards.
But even so, he will not be afraid or flinch.
What is science?
Science is a long, winding road with no end in sight, but he believes that this is the most correct choice. Only by following this path can you be close to success.
Then, let him see what else he will encounter if he goes down this road.
He thought of the red spiers piercing the sky he had seen at the end of the Pathfinder's crystal image.
Let him see when he can arrive.
After taking a sip, Li He rode away.
