Chapter 1243: The Armor
Su Xiao had collected a total of 9 ancient undead essences by this point, and knew that this shop sold chests that only parts of sets could be obtained from. As for 'Holy Protection', it was most likely a kind of defensive energy. As for the black fog on the third floor of the temple, Su Xiao still didn't know how dangerous this fog was.
If he understood it correctly, he was currently on the first floor of the temple, as the undead that got in his way were not very strong.
— Undead, " Su Xiao said, addressing the creature in human language.
— I... It's me, " the undead replied, speaking very slowly. It took her five seconds to say those three words.
— Do you know where the vanishing Stone is?" Su Xiao got straight to the point. This creature spoke too slowly, so if he followed the formalities, this conversation would take at least half an hour.
— I... of course... I know, " the undead replied. She had already lived for too long, and she had participated in the construction of this temple, eventually becoming what she was now because of the betrayal of her own kind.
— Where is he? Su Xiao asked. He felt that talking to this undead was somewhat painful. The creature spoke too slowly. The more words it wanted to say, the slower it spoke. If she pronounced the first word in 2 seconds, then the next one is already 4 seconds, then 8 seconds...
— You... that's the one... shadow... Right? Me... and ... those... shadows...
Hearing the undead's words, Su Xiao didn't feel very good. He wasn't worried about the creature having a shadow grater, he just didn't want this undead to start remembering the past, as its pronunciation speed was getting slower and slower with each word.
Su Xiao gently rubbed his forehead, while the Chatterbox beside him kept turning around in alarm. At this moment, he only felt anxious and uneasy.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao finally confirmed the exact location of the vanishing Stone. According to this undead's words, it was very close to this stone. After walking a little further, he would encounter the strongest creature on the first floor of the temple, the " Spirit of Armor».
The Vanishing Stone was embedded in this spirit's armor.
According to the description of the undead, this spirit was very strong. Even if you put the Musician, that swordsman, and all their subordinates together, the resulting army wouldn't be able to compare to Spirit Armor.
In other words, the Musician and swordsman were just gatekeepers, and the real guardian of the first floor of the temple was the Spirit of Armor.
This undead also told Su Xiao not to try to enter the second floor, much less try to get to the third floor.
In total, this temple had three floors. The first floor was reserved for generals or distinguished soldiers, the second floor was reserved for the real elite, who reported directly to the royal family, and the third floor was a forbidden zone for all living beings. It was on this floor that many terrifying creatures were imprisoned, such as the "Imperial Butcher" or " Punisher of Prisoners».
He did not specify how strong these creatures were, but only said that in a battle against the same "Imperial Butcher", Su Xiao would be able to survive with a very, very low chance.
And he wasn't talking about winning, just surviving. In other words, if he met this creature, he would be able to escape with very great difficulty.
The good news was that Su Xiao didn't need to enter the second and third floors of the temple. The bad news was that the "Spirit of Armor" was very strong.
Since this creature hadn't spoken so much in a long time, it was clearly in a good mood and seemed to want to tell Su Xiao the story of this temple, however, due to its too slow pronunciation, it ended up hanging right in the middle of its story.
Su Xiao spent six essences to buy the golden chest. He had to buy this chest. No matter what part of the set he ended up taking out of it, even if that set didn't fit him, he would still be able to sell that part for a high price.
As for the remaining three essences, Su Xiao wasn't going to use them just yet.
After they left this safe point, the poisonous fog had already dispersed. Although Bubtney had received quite a heavy blow from the Musician, if he hadn't found this side hall, this battle might have dragged on for a very long time.
Judging by the path, the first floor of the temple had an " L "shape, and the entrance to the temple was located at the bottom of the letter"L". The swordsman was in the corner of the letter "L", and the Musician was in the center of the letter "L". As for the Spirit Armor, it was located at the top of the letter "L" and guarded the passage to the second floor of the temple.
Su Xiao only needed to kill him to obtain the key. As for whether he would go further, deeper into this temple, that would already depend on the situation. If the "Demon Hunt Time" skill had been recharged by then and he didn't have to use it right away, then Su Xiao would most likely try to move on. After all, there were too many valuable treasures to be obtained in this temple.
Su Xiao, Bubtni, Amu, and Elise started walking down the long corridor that led to the back of the temple.
Now, being in this temple cost Su Xiao 5,000 Paradise coins per hour. He couldn't waste any more time, so he decided to speed up.
Since Goss was dead, Su Xiao was now leading the way. Just when Su Xiao wanted to speed up, Bubtney got in his way.
— Woof, " Bubtney wanted to check the path ahead first. Given his skills, he wouldn't end up getting hurt in the end, unless, of course, he met his natural enemy along the way.
Bubtney quickly disappeared into the dark corridor, while Su Xiao remained standing where he was.
While they were waiting, a naive princess came up to him.
— This is - " Elise seemed to hesitate to ask something, as she looked downright embarrassed.
— Speak up, " Su Xiao replied, sitting on a rock. He used this free time to recuperate, as there was clearly a very difficult battle ahead of him.
— I want... Mm-hmm, this... Elise said and grabbed her long skirt with both hands. Seeing her shy posture, Su Xiao understood what she wanted.
— Choose any angle. We can't leave this place right now.
— Elise was clearly taken aback, but after a couple of seconds, she decided to be patient, because otherwise she would have been too embarrassed.
About fifteen minutes later, Bubtney suddenly appeared in front of Su Xiao. It appeared so suddenly and so close to him that Su Xiao almost hit Bubtny's face.
— Oooh~, " Bubtny swallowed his saliva with eyes full of horror.
— What did you see?
— Woof, " Bubtney motioned for Su Xiao to follow and ran forward .
Five minutes later, lights appeared in front of them.
Su Xiao stopped in the darkness and stared straight ahead.
At the end of the stone corridor, there was a large circular open space. From around the corner, Su Xiao could only see a part of it..
The open space was filled with stone platforms on which undead creatures nearly three meters tall were lying. They were very similar to the swordsman who had stood in their way in the beginning, except that they didn't have the same aura as that swordsman. They all seemed to be ordinary soldiers, while that swordsman was an outstanding talent, only they were also used to summon a horse for help, but they weren't blessed with green flames.
There were 30 of them in total. If Su Xiao was surrounded by them, without using all the trump cards, he would definitely end up being killed.
But right behind the neatly arranged stone platforms, there was a stone throne. Sitting on the throne was an undead creature that was two meters tall. She was wearing a suit of armor that was neatly joined together, completely covering her upper body. Her lower body was covered by a battle skirt made of armor plates that hung down to her knees.
This armor was clearly not bad, and it wasn't the binding of ordinary armor, but the parts of the armor that were sewn together, which made the elasticity of such armor on a completely different level.
This creature was most likely the "Spirit of Armor". There was no sign of his weapon next to him, but if you looked closely, you could see that the plate on the back of his right hand was encrusted with a blue gemstone, inside which a light seemed to be flashing.
