Struggle in the Steam Age

Knowing that he was short of time, Lawrence quickly condensed the silver-green light in his hand into the shape of a needle, and then inserted it into the gap between the stone slab and the stone platform. I only heard the sound of barking coming from the contact surface between the two, and then the needle with the power of faith with divinity shortened rapidly, and I could feel that it was annihilated and disappeared after the collision of different forces.

"It seems that those guys should have borrowed the power of that lady to block everything." Lawrence immediately understood what was going on here. "It's just a little bit, and it's not very pure. We should be able to get rid of this blocking force in all the cracks in five minutes."

Sure enough, five minutes later, Lawrence used the power of faith to dissolve all the power used to block it. Then I saw the stone slab that lost its support and fell straight forward. Fortunately, he quickly caught the stone slab with his eyesight and hands.

"Phew—it almost broke." After placing the stone slab on the floor, Lawrence and Nora cast their eyes into the hollow behind the slate. The hollow was carved very roughly, as if a novice stonemason had carved it out randomly on a piece of stone, and on the inner wall of the stone, Lawrence also saw countless mung bean-sized milky white crystals that shone like stars. stone.

"It's dangerous——" After seeing the appearance of these crystals clearly, Nora patted her chest lightly with a look of fear on her face. Because she recognized these spars as she had only seen in Lawrence's memory before, but she had never seen the real five-star controlled product confusion spar.

Confusion spar is a unique ore in the spirit world. It is very popular because it can cause a lot of extra damage to spirit bodies while being used in the spirit world. However, due to the low output of this kind of ore, and the fact that using this kind of ore as a consumable for casting spells can release certain spells that can harm other people's souls from a long distance, it is strictly regulated. So the price has been very expensive.

On the other hand, this ore is not very stable in its raw state. If you waved your paws like Nora and slapped it down, it would probably cause a chain explosion of these ores. Although it is said that they should not die with the power of faith protecting them, but injuries are probably inevitable.

Most importantly, once these ores explode. Lawrence and the others are likely to be directly triggered by the insurance facilities on their bodies before being ejected from the spirit world. Thus the venture, which had cost so much energy and fortune, could be said to have ended in complete failure. Because once you go out, it is almost impossible to find it again.

Fortunately, now Lawrence and the others have successfully bypassed those traps, and they can collect the fruits of victory. But after looking carefully, Lawrence and the others only found a wooden box the size of a fist in that simple cave.

This wooden box is quite suitable for the stone cave on the ground, because it is also simple. Even Lawrence could see the unshaved bark from the wooden box. Or to be more precise, this box is just made of a tree trunk as thick as a calf and dug a hole after sawing the next section. It is absolutely natural and handmade.

More importantly, this box was soaked in a small puddle of liquid that was as black as ink but extremely transparent, like liquid obsidian. Just suspended in it like that, it looks like it is sealed in amber.

"I seem to smell something ominous—" Lawrence said, but before he finished speaking, Nora floated up and hit his head. "Don't pretend to be deep, my lord brother. At least the skull-shaped bubbles that popped out of the pool of liquid obviously looked wrong, and I smelled the eight-legged woman in the pool of liquid immediately .”

It seems that the last line of defense is the divine power of Rose, the spider goddess who seals the box. For others, this is indeed very tricky, but for Nora, as long as there is enough power of faith mixed with her own breath, it will be easy. It is easy to offset all Rose's divine power here.

Therefore, after ten minutes, all the black liquid in the stone cave was wiped out by the silver-green liquid gushing out from Nora's hand, leaving only a wooden box at the bottom of the cave. Seeing this, Nora was about to reach in to take down the wooden box, but she turned her head and saw Lawrence's thoughtful gaze, then withdrew her hand.

"The box is connected with the whole space." Because a lot of traps appeared on the stone platform just now, even after seeing the harvest, Lawrence still maintained the same caution at the beginning. And this kind of caution also allowed him to discover the core trap that was arranged in the last level. "If we take this box away, it will activate the mechanism on the stone platform."

"Tricks?" Nora lost her composure the moment this small box appeared in front of her just now, but Lawrence realized that the guy who was able to set up so many traps just now would probably design something on this important thing. After inspection, she also found the problem. "You're right, we only have 15 seconds after removing the box, and then the mechanism will activate. Although I can't see what the mechanism is, it certainly won't be a good thing."

"So we took off the box for a while and ran outside without touching anything in the middle." Lawrence said with a regretful look at the pile of magic props on the shelf in the room. Because he couldn't be sure what would happen to the whole house after the box was taken out, so he just reluctantly gave up.

More importantly, the result of divination before he came in told him to stick to the righteous path in his heart and not be too greedy after he came in. So he quickly made up his mind to give up the dazzling array of magic props on both sides of the room, and just go out with such the most important thing. In any case, it is a very bad thing to lose a lot for a small thing.

"Are you ready?" Lawrence asked as he watched the little puppet fly towards him after opening the door. "As soon as we got the things, we rushed out, and immediately activated the magic circles just now to leave the spirit world after we went out."

After entering this building just now, Lawrence discovered that this building hindered various teleportation forces. Fortunately, the area of ​​this building is not large, and he can rush out in only two or three seconds. And just in case, after opening the door and returning, Nora flew behind Lawrence and hugged him with both arms, preparing to drag him out immediately.

"I'm ready now." The voice of the little puppet came from behind. For her, if she wanted to hug Lawrence from behind, she had to stick her whole body on his back. In this way, it must not be so convenient for Nora to speak. "Start the countdown, my lord brother."

"That's good, if everything is ready, let's start." After speaking, Lawrence reached into the cave and grabbed the box and shouted. "Now I'm going to count. When you reach three, you pull it out. Now, one-two-three!"

The moment the number three came out of Lawrence's mouth, the little puppet gave him a push back like a powerful jet pack, and then the whole person flew out of the gate like a cannonball. By the way, he used this force to pull the small wooden box out of the small hole in the stone platform.

The moment the wooden box came out of the stone platform, the entire space shook slightly, and then returned to its original state. If you hadn't been observing the surroundings with the utmost vigilance, you would not have felt this vibration at all. But Lawrence didn't stop because of the small changes. In just a second, Nora flew out of the building with Lawrence.

After they rushed out of the building, they realized that everything around them had changed. The circle of light that surrounded the building just now was shrinking like a golden sun, and the surrounding thorns rushed towards the building as if they were alive. come over.

"Leave." After flying out of the door, Lawrence and Nora silently recited the activation spell in their hearts, a silver light flashed, and the two disappeared from the spirit world immediately.
