Chapter 470: Chapter 258 Ninja Master’s Skill Performance, Gold and Silver Treasure Mountain_1
The Guardian also exploded an output skill book, which is another skill enhanced by Inferno.
The initial damage of this kind of skill will be slightly lower compared to skills of the same level, but once the relevant attributes are enhanced, the damage will increase linearly, greatly surpassing skills of the same level.
Lin Xun carefully stored the skill book and turned towards the map artifact.
As it was indicated by the map artifact, the secret passage to the mountain belly was concealed in the Coin Palace behind the worship hall.
It’s where the pilgrims donated incense money after their offerings to the deities.
Lin Xun instructed Valkyrie to stay here and protect the unconscious senior sister, and began his journey alone to search for the treasure.
[You arrive at the main entrance of the holy temple, slowly opening the door...]
[With a creak, the door opens smoothly. After the deaths of ’Sly Ghost’ and ’Temple Guardian’, the power that was sealing the holy temple also disappeared.]
[The temple at night, devoid of hustle and bustle of the daytime, appeared eerily silent under the pale moonlight.]
[You look around, no one is in sight. A massive building called ’Coin Palace’ is situated far ahead of you.]
[You open your dim eyes, turn around, and hide your figure...]
[Even if this place is layered with the Power of the Divine Domain, it cannot directly dispel the enhanced ’Art of Heavenly Concealment’. Only the vague transparent shadow under the moonlight is visible. Without close observation, it would be impossible to detect.]
[You hurriedly reach the main entrance of the Coin Palace. The red lacquered tiles of the palace door are closely shut and locked with a bronze lock. No light can be seen through the paper-covered door windows.]
[You quietly lean against the door, with your ear close, assembling the ’Qi’ within your body to the ear tip, but hear no breathing from the Coin Palace.]
[The bronze lock in front of the main door, in the eyes of a ’ninja master’ like you, is not an obstacle at all. After trivial tampering, the lock is easily unlocked.]
[You gently push open the door and walk in...]
[Three fresh-red silk bells hang down from the temple beam, just in front of your eyes. Behind the silk bell is a huge, pitch-black donation box.]
[The regular way to worship for the average pilgrim is to shake the silk bell hanging under the beam, drop the offering into the donation box, and then bow twice, clap twice, and bow again.]
[When visitors come for occasions like weddings or coming-of-age ceremonies, they must apply to the shrine for formal entrance into the temple and conduct a bigger, more formal ritual... Of course, the amount of the initial offering will considerably increase.]
[You walk past the three silk bells, arriving in front of the donation box.]
[Thanks to the thriving incense of the shrine, the donation box is exceptionally large. On the side of the box, you can see the words ’offering’ penned in elaborate, flowing script.]
[Through the gap for dropping the offerings, you can clearly see that the box is completely empty, as if its contents have been confiscated.]
[According to the map’s marking, you arrive at the deepest part of the Coin Palace.]
[Following the instructions, you rotate several candlesticks in the corner to the correct direction...]
[A slight mechanical sound comes from under the ground, and a well-like hole appears before your eyes.]
[You lean over to peek. The black hole is of unknown depth, you can only see a faint point-of-finger-sized light at the bottom.]
[Are you going to jump into the hole?]
Lin Xun had seen it all a long time ago. He was adept at resolving this kind of basic ’drop floor trap’.
As long as he summoned Valkyrie to fly, they could easily reach their destination.
In fact, Little Dragon Man could also fly in his transformation, but the dragon form was too large to fit into a small hole.
Just when he was about to summon Valkyrie, he noticed the game text continued to display.
[A whistling sound faintly echoed from the hole as if something was rapidly rising.]
[Your heart tightened, you quickly grabbed the hilt of your knife, preparing for any danger.]
"Could it be that there’s still a big BOSS suppressed underground?"
Lin Xun squinted his eyes, ready to press the Ninja Kill Skill function of the Shell at any moment.
[...]
[In a short while, a strange object emerged from the hole...]
[It was a large stone disc, with countless spells carved into it, almost as wide as the hole. There were even some human footprints in the middle...]
[Are you going to step on the disc and board this bizarre magical artifact to descend into the mountain belly?]
"..."
"So, it’s an elevator. This underworld game never fails to surprise."
[You step onto the disc artifact, and it feels almost identical to standing on the ground.]
[The spells on the disc gradually flicker with light, seeming about to activate...]
[Suddenly, the spell flickers dangerously with red light. You only feel emptiness under your feet, and you plummet down...]
[The howl of wind roars in your ears, your falling speed is accelerating. In a few seconds, you are sure to crash and shatter into a thousand pieces!]
[...]
"Damn! Does this elevator come with a friend or foe identification system?!"
Lin Xun didn’t have time to curse, frantically summoning Valkyrie.
[Without panicking, you calmly draw the ’Dragon Sword Masamune’ from your waist and thrust it into the rock wall.]
[Sparks scatter as the sharp blade plows a long mark on the rock wall as you fall.]
[Your fall slows down gradually and eventually stops.]
[You are hanging in mid-air, tightly holding the ’Dragon Sword Masamune’, looking down you see the light has grown from a pinpoint to a fist size, and vaguely notice the objects within the mountain belly.]
[You take a deep breath, the ’Qi’ in your body roils. You pull out the ’Dragon Sword Masamune’, your feet viciously striking the rock wall, propelling you down at an angle!]
[As you fall, you step out again, pushing off against the rock wall on the other side, propelling you further down!]
