A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

After a sumptuous dinner, drink a few alcoholic beverages of different flavors.

After walking along the desert with harsh environment for almost half a month, everyone quickly took a simple bath and lay down on the soft big bed and fell asleep.

Since we are in a relatively safe city, there is no need to arrange a vigil tonight.

There were too many slaves to fit into the guest rooms, so they had to find an empty spot in the hotel corridors, halls, stables, etc. to lay out blankets and sleep.

Anyway, the nights in Manon are not cold. Even if you sleep outside in the open air, you don’t have to worry too much about catching a cold.

For them, it’s never the room or bed that affects sleep quality.

It’s a safe environment where you don’t have to worry about monsters and bandits popping up out of nowhere.

Zuo Si did not disturb these people who urgently needed a good sleep to relieve their mental and physical fatigue. He took the soldiers and Alena and left through the back door of the hotel. Using the cover of night, they came to a dilapidated warehouse near the dock in the city.

Looking at this old building that was at least several decades old, he subconsciously compared the address on the piece of paper in his hand, and immediately said to the two people behind him: "This should be the right place. Let's go in and take a look. See what interesting things Mook has stored in this secret warehouse."

"I'll take the lead."

The soldier wearing heavy armor and holding a shield was the first to step forward, smash the rusty lock with the hilt of his sword, push the door open and walk straight in.

Since it was completely dark, there was nothing visible inside the warehouse without any light.

Without saying anything, Zuo Si immediately cast a [Light Technique].

Through this moving light source, the group of three people quickly saw the surrounding environment clearly.

Contrary to the expected mess, all the boxes and goods were stacked against the wall in a very neat and orderly manner.

Except that the ground and goods were covered with a thick layer of dust because no one had visited it for a long time, it seemed that it was no different from an ordinary warehouse.

Just when Alena was about to open a box to see what was inside, a huge black shadow suddenly jumped down from above her head.

"careful!"

The soldier with strong reaction speed was the first to notice the danger. He raised his shield and knocked the oval-shaped creature, which was two to three meters in size, away from him for a short distance, successfully protecting his relatively fragile fellow caster.

Through the [Light Technique], you can vaguely see that it is a huge arthropod with eight legs and black hair all over its body.

It is nearly one meter tall and its huge body must exceed one hundred kilograms. It looks like an enlarged version of a poisonous spider.

But unlike ordinary spiders, this monster doesn't have eight eyes, but only three.

Moreover, deadly toxins glowing green are constantly dripping from the bottom of the huge mouthparts.

Fortunately, the soldiers rescued him in time.

Otherwise, given the current state of the sorceress without any magic protection, she would be seriously injured even if she was bitten, even if she did not die.

"Damn it! Why is there such a thing in the warehouse at the dock?" Alena asked with a livid face.

"Three-Eyed Demonic Spider! A magical monster created by arcane spellcasters by mixing the flesh and blood of multiple creatures.

Be careful, its toxin is very deadly, and even if you accidentally touch the spider web, it will paralyze and inhibit the nerves of the person who comes in contact.

However, this kind of magical creature is very afraid of fire, so it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with. "

Zuo Si quickly found the corresponding information from the [Thinking Library] and said it straightforwardly.

"Afraid of fire?"

Hearing these words, Alena suddenly showed a cruel smile.

The next second...

The sound of chanting mantras echoed in the warehouse.

Immediately afterwards, a hot flame ray shot out from her fingertips, directly igniting the three-eyed magic spider that was wrestling with the soldier from the side.

moment!

This ferocious monster began to retreat crazily like crazy, trying to escape from the burning range of the flames.

But unfortunately, with Alena’s character, there’s no way she could let it go.

In a short time, the three-eyed demon spider was turned into a burnt corpse by a steady stream of flame magic.

After the battle, Zuo Si glanced at the spider web woven on the roof and the almost unrecognizable human corpses wrapped in cocoons in the corner, and immediately sneered and said: "This guy Muke, before he died, he still wanted to Give me some trouble. If nothing else, he deliberately kept this three-eyed demon spider here to guard the warehouse."

"You mean...these people were deliberately thrown in to feed the spiders?" Alena raised her eyebrows with an expression of disgust.

"That's right! It's easy to tell from their clothes that these poor victims are basically either slaves, poor people living in Manon, or thieves who accidentally broke in."

Zuo Si carefully used the dagger he carried to cut open the cocoon wrapped in spider silk, revealing the dried corpses inside.

Since the body fluids all over the body have been sucked dry, it is impossible to tell the specific age, gender and identity of the deceased.

"Every time I turned that guy into a shadow or an undead, it really gave him an advantage."

After confirming the number of corpses, the soldiers couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Because many of the corpses in the cocoons are less than one meter tall.

This also means that they are either halflings or children under ten years old.

The extent of his madness has even gone far beyond the bottom line of most people in the "evil camp".

"Okay, there's no need to be angry with a dead man. Now, let's see what good things he has stored in this warehouse."

With that said, Zuo Si cast a one-ring magic [Secret Door of Detection].

Soon I discovered a small hidden compartment near the wall.

After confirming that there were no traps around, he quickly took out a sealed wooden box about half a meter long and thirty centimeters wide.

When he opened it, it turned out to be a magic composite long bow and five mithril arrows engraved with exquisite and complex runes.

After simple identification and identification, Zuo Si quickly knew the properties of these things.

Among them, the name of the composite longbow is [Strong Arm Bow].

The bow strings and arms are imbued with amazing magic when they are made, and it requires at least nineteen points of strength attribute to pull them apart.

Under such an astonishing pulling force, the power of the arrows shot by [Strong Arm Bow] is enough to instantly pierce the heads or hearts of most creatures.

Equivalent to a +3 enchanted weapon.

Not only does it have a longer range, but it also has higher damage and stronger penetration.

As for the arrows placed together with the bow, they are Faerun's famous [Devil-Breaking Arrows], which can eliminate and destroy the magic effects around the target's body.

Generally speaking, this type of arrows are high-level alchemical items specially made for hunting powerful mages and warlocks.

The market price of one is at least several thousand gold coins.

In addition, the [Demon-Breaking Arrow] is still a consumable item, so don’t expect it to be recycled and reused.

Once shot, the power attached to the arrow will take effect, destroying the stability of any magical effects it touches.

However, this thing has been in a state of "price but no market" all year round.

Many people are willing to pay double the price but may not be able to buy one.

The only regret is that Zuo Si does not yet have a summoned creature that is a full-time archer, worthy of this powerful magic composite longbow and five [Demon-Breaking Arrows].

With the strength attribute of a soldier, although it can be used reluctantly, if the distance is a little further, don't expect any accuracy.

If when Yelniya launched a surprise attack on Zuo Si, there was a long-range shooter who used [Demon-Breaking Arrow] to cooperate with him, Zuo Si felt that he would probably be worse off.

But unfortunately, Mook might have been in a hurry when he took action, fearing that by the time the [Strong Arm Bow] and [Demon-Breaking Arrow] were transported from Mannon to Port Calim, Hallet would have collected enough ransom to get out of trouble again.

In the end, he failed in taking the risk and lost his life.
