Chapter 148: A Brilliant Oasis
What Jihoo was most curious about in this ruin was the [Brilliant Oasis]. When I heard the name, all I could think of was that it was a high-quality water that you would only find in Yeongsan.
That was enough.
If you use Jihoo’s [Witch’s Robe] to control water and give it coldness, you can resist fire.
But more important than that is the quality of the water you control. If you use water from Yeongsan that is dozens of times better than simple tap water, the power will increase dozens of times.
“Huh-wook. Is it over there?”
Jihoo said while catching his breath.
No matter how much I used the water attribute and cold control, I felt my stamina plummet after being exposed to the hot sun for a long time and engaging in a fierce battle.
“Oh, it’s hot. Is this advanced cold? How do you break through the ranks?”
Everyone was having a hard time, not just Jihoo.
President Jeong Woo-yeon also seemed to cool off by wrapping himself around Magi, but it seems that the hardships can’t be helped.
In addition, the Death Knight and Dyurahan had to be brought in as well. This is because the Death Knight’s armor began to melt, and Dyurahan’s joints were damaged.
It was such a huge heat.
In the meantime, he reached an oasis.
“Wow- great. How big is it?”
It’s like a big lake.
The desert was as big as the desert, but the lake was also big. At this rate, the water won’t run dry.
“According to the map, there are monsters up to level 8 in the middle of the lake. It’s not belligerent, so I don’t attack first, but I don’t know the standard because I haven’t provoked it.”
This is the report of the auxiliary team.
The maps and reports they produced were very useful. It was several times easier than attacking unknown ruins.
I had to give 9% of the artifact, but it was not a waste at all.
Jihoo tried to [Read].
[Brilliant Oasis (Lv. 08)]
: The tribes of the Red Desert had to settle near this oasis. This scorching heat is because even those who were born in the desert could not withstand it.
*[Myeongdang (Level 2)]
*[Intermediate Spiritual Water]
2nd grade spot.
It is a grade set based on the concentration of magical power in the atmosphere. Seoul is 5th grade, Yangpyeong is 4th grade, and Jirisan Mountain is 3rd grade. A handful of good places located throughout Jirisan Mountain are at the second-class level.
Level 1 is a rare place in the world, so level 2 means that it is a very good place. If you practice magic here, your stats increase up to twice as fast, if you use magic, you can get magic that can eat 1 star, and if you craft artifacts, the chance of getting a [masterpiece] increases dramatically.
“It’s fine.”
It was Jihoo’s impression.
Should I call it a spirit vein?
There is something like this inside the ruins, so it will be very helpful when hunting regenerating monsters even after complete capture.
“Wow, the heat has definitely decreased since I came here, right?”
“Whoa! I have to live a bit now. Maintaining the force field also consumes a lot of mana.”
“I think I will live now. I need to get out some Death Knights and Dyurahans.”
I decided to rest here today.
It is said that other monsters do not appear in this area, probably because there is a lake monster. The tribes of the Red Desert also had a reason to start living here.
The rest prepared to camp, and Jihoo approached the lake.
[Middle level spirit water (Lv. 05)]
: A sacred beast of a mysterious lake that has deep magical powers. An unknown divine beast sleeping in the depths of the lake exudes miraculous magic.
* [Low-mid-level magic recovery]
* [Amplification of intermediate water attributes]
“… … It’s huge.”
Intermediate Spirit Level was 5.
However, as sub-options, there are [Mid-level water attribute amplification] and [Low-middle level magic recovery]. Isn’t this just an option for the whole lake, not just two options?
The quality is good, but the quantity doesn’t make sense.
Jihoo took out a box of words piled up in his inventory.
“… … what is that?”
Lee Hee-yeon approached and asked.
“What’s the point?”
“So what are you going to do?”
“Get some water.”
“… … .”
Lee Hee-yeon put on a puzzled expression, but Ji-hoo started pouring water into her mouth. It didn’t take long to fill up.
It was right away because I had obtained a large lidded barrel.
And I stacked it in my inventory.
“Oh, it works.”
I don’t know the exact criteria.
A bullet box with bullets is not allowed, but a lid and a barrel. And even the water inside. Can I get a bigger barrel?
I want to get a 1-ton barrel and put it in my heart. However, I wondered if it was necessary to go that far, so I sought a general language.
‘It’s 20 liters each. 20 kg. 100 is still 2 tons.’
It’s not bad.
In order to use the [Water Witch (Lv. 07)] in the [Witch’s Robe] and the [Powerful Dragon Stream], it’s good to have plenty of water.
In this desert, the water could evaporate in real time on the 11th floor. The fire there is not a normal fire, but the flames of hell.
Jihoo worked for a while.
It wasn’t until late that night that the work was finished.
* * *
“Boss information… … It is speculated that it is a giant monster sealed by the tribe of the Red Desert. The battle starts when you open the sand castle, so it’s not certain, but judging from the information on the amount of nearby magic power, the pattern of the ruins, the elemental power, and the red desert ruins that were captured the other day… … It is highly likely that the sand castle was a divine beast that preserved the survival environment of the tribe. According to the literature… … .”
Jihoo was looking through the report that the assistant team gave him that night.
From new dungeons, towers, fields, underground dungeons, ruins, and more. The most dangerous factor is the lack of information.
From the existence of sleeping deep in the lake, the biggest danger is not knowing what is inside the sand castle.
Fortunately, SP was supplied.
Even if it was not the top, the achievement was renewed.
-You have entered [Remnants of the Red Desert].
– Achievement accomplished!
.
.
.
I used SP to produce it in the middle, but there was still SP that reached 30,000.
Even when using SP, it was a new action and it was thanks to the achievement.
‘If it’s really dangerous, I can kill it with SP.’
If it’s just one, yes.
Also, once the ruins were graded as B and medium, there would be no ridiculous situation.
If it was information based on general emotions, you could be suspicious, but it was reliable because it was information based on Jihoo’s [Reading].
‘If it’s not a divine beast, there is a high possibility that there will be mummified priests and wizards, but the magic power of the object can be 6-star wizards and sword master-class elite knights.’
Of course, it was predicted that it would be lower than that because it was B-class, but even if there were only one or two such beings, it could be dangerous.
“Um, Mr. Shin. Would you like to take a look here?”
President Jeong Woo-yeon called Jihoo.
There was a prefabricated campsite around the oasis, and the lights were turned on, so there was no inconvenience in securing visibility even at night.
“This skeleton soldier and mummy archer… … There are soul stones. A fraud, not a magi. In other words, it was made of dead magic, but if you do well, you can become undead.”
“Oh yeah?”
Jihoo knows this because he studied.
Usually undead have something called [Soul Stone]. However, monsters, which are living creatures, do not have such a thing. It is a black mage’s job to use black magic on dead monsters to create [soul stones].
But the monsters here have something similar to the [Soul Stone].
“… … Of course, the quality itself isn’t that good to make it undead, but depending on what kind of being it is in the sand castle, I think it could be made undead.”
“It wouldn’t be bad if it was possible.”
Anyway, you have to find artifacts after attacking the sand castle, and you can’t get anything by killing mummies or skeleton soldiers that are close to undead.
It would have been much more beneficial if he could have subordinated himself to the undead. If you have equipment that you wore after making it undead, you can take it out.
Jihoo and Jeong Woo-yeon, president.
Heeyeon Lee and Miji Kim.
The four of them fell asleep while discussing the boss strategy until late at night.
* * *
next day.
The attack was not difficult.
President Jeong Woo-yeon’s military power was great, but Kim Mi-ji and Lee Hee-yeon’s military power also grew formidable.
It was beyond imagination.
No matter how much Jihoo said he helped by making artifacts, I didn’t expect it to be to this extent. No, perhaps thanks to a decent tanker serving as the vanguard, Lee Hee-yeon flew around.
Using the cold air generated by [Hersia’s Flower], she headed to the rear. There, he defeated the mummy of the red desert holding a bow.
It was so fast and stealthy that it was no longer a melee dealer, but rather an assassin.
Roaring-!
It was the same with Miji Kim.
He refrained from using fire magic, but in the case of Mira, he was weak against fire magic, so he did not.
Then, as usual, a great magic was manifested on the ship. It was thanks to the flame attribute that occupied this space.
Taang-!
Wow!
Jihoo also did what he had to do.
I can’t even remember how many times I came here and pulled the trigger on the thunder. dozens of times. Or more than a hundred times.
It was fortunate that the inventory was filled with bullets. Without this, I would have had to fight myself. It wasn’t bad either, but the enemies were stronger and more numerous than I thought.
In fact, there was no place for Jihoo.
The avant-garde was handled by Death Knight and Dyurahan. President Jeong Woo-yeon’s undead and Jihoo’s undead were combined, so there was nothing to worry about.
The only thing you can do is remote support. Because of Kim Mi-ji’s magic, the only thing Ji-hoo could do was sniping.
‘It’s not difficult.’
This is thanks to the performance of the auxiliary team.
From nob le mt l. co m
Map making and trap removal. Knowing the monsters that appeared in each region, as well as their characteristics and weaknesses, it was strange that they couldn’t capture them.
They entered the final gateway, the sand castle.
-Check the entry target.
-Check a total of 4 people.
-Would you like to enter the [Sand Castle in the Red Desert]?
-!Caution: Once a party enters, they cannot leave until the raid is over.
“I couldn’t investigate because of this.”
The four went right in.
The door opened, and an unusual force drew them in. I didn’t know what it was, but I could sense that it was a mighty being deep within the sandcastle.
It was something heavy.
Light leaked in and its shape began to appear.
it was tied up
Huge chains, hundreds of magic circles, dozens of steel spears, dozens of mummified priests, and even white cloth with unknown characters.
“… … what is that?”
Heeyeon Lee murmured softly.
OK.
shoot it
Dozens of mummy priests turned their heads this way. Their eyes were glowing red, and hideous flesh pierced their skin like sharp needles.
Whoops-!
Koo Goo Goo!
An unknown entity bound in chains. A strange creature that looked like a turtle at first glance, and looked like a short-necked dragon when you looked closely, let out a cry.
But at the same time, a large vibration wrapped around the entire sandcastle. It was like an earthquake, and ‘fraud’ erupted from the bodies of dozens of Mira Riches. In other words, the dead magic began to weigh down the entire sandcastle.
“… … Do you think we did something wrong?”
“Are you sure this is grade B?”
Those were the words of Lee Hee-yeon and Kim Mi-ji.
President Jung Woo-yeon added,
“Even if you can’t do it, dozens of level 8 liches… … Would it be at least an A grade?”
rich.
it’s rich
President Jeong Woo-yeon said it, so there was no way I could be wrong. And it was also seen in Jihoo’s eyes. Their level was 8, and Jihoo’s viewing level was also 8.
I couldn’t see the level of the turtle tied behind it, but I could tell that each chain was a terrifying object reaching levels 7 and 8.
this absurd situation.
“… … But why do you feel good?”
It feels like that.
The joy of discovering the bonanza.
It was risky, but worth it.
