I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 508 On the Road (10)

The passage is not long. After about twenty meters, there is a corner, which is connected to another road.

But while Alma was still considering which way to go, Edward and Ellie had already walked around the left-hand street, and then ran back and said that it was a dead end. Alma was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

Since they already know that one end is a dead end, the three of them can only choose the remaining passage on the right.

Alma was so frightened along the way that she almost checked her surroundings every few steps to see if there were any traps, which made Edward and Ellie want to laugh at her.

However, both of them also understand that for some things it is better to follow the advice of experts.

For example, if they didn't bring Alma with them to explore this kind of ruins, let alone what they could find, they might not even be able to find this passage.

So although it felt like Alma was making a fuss, the two of them still let her take her time.

Just as the three of them walked for more than ten minutes, Alma suddenly raised her hand and realized that Edward and Ellie had stopped.

Then she gently picked up a stone with the dagger she carried and threw it not far ahead. Almost as the stone hit the ground, a blue lightning flashed from the wall, and then the stone turned into a pile of powder.

"It's really expensive to put a magic trap in a place like this. Fortunately, I saw it." Alma muttered to herself as she looked at the pile of powder on the ground in front of her.

But her hands were not idle when she spoke.

Almost like a magic trick, six or seven strange tools that Edward had never seen before appeared in her hand.

Then I saw her hands rapidly tapping on the surrounding walls, digging once or twice with one of the tools.

After about ten minutes, Alma carefully dug out a blue crystal stone from a hidden compartment on the wall.

Ellie almost gasped when she saw the crystal.

Not for anything else, just because what Elma is holding is a wind magic crystal infused with top magic.

Ellie can also make this kind of thing herself, but if she really does that, she will have to pay the price of not being able to use magic for at least two days. Only in that way can she replenish her own consumption.

And it is obvious that people who can reach his level are definitely rare in this continent.

If it were an ordinary magician, he probably wouldn't be able to recover in ten days and a half.

It is because of this that top-level magic crystals are always priceless. Even the wealthy Aodu Chamber of Commerce only sells one or two magic crystals of this level very occasionally.

"Haha, I've made a profit now.

Top-grade magic crystal, you can buy it for hundreds of platinum coins anywhere." Alma couldn't put it down and played with the crystal in her hand. Apparently she had forgotten her original purpose of coming here.

But at this moment, a slight clicking sound made Alma, who had been cheerful just now, suddenly become nervous.

She hurriedly followed the source of the sound, and quickly stood up and looked in the direction they came from. At this moment, her face could be said to be as ugly as possible.

"What's wrong? Alma!" Seeing Alma like this, Edward also realized that something was wrong, so his words became more anxious.

"Go back quickly, this is a double trap.

Damn it, I actually used the top magic crystal as bait." After saying this, Alma couldn't care about anything else, turned her head and started running as fast as she could on the way back.

Although Edward and Ellie still don't understand the situation, since Alma did what she did, she must have a reason.

Although he didn't care about most of the traps, he immediately followed them based on the principle that one more thing is worse than one less thing.

After all, it is also very troublesome to escape from the trap.

But the running of the three people did not last long before they stopped, because they all heard the huge roar coming from the distant passage, and a huge iron ball was rolling towards them unhurriedly, and they came

The entrance is still so far away from them.

"It's over, I'm dead now." Seeing the iron ball rolling in the distance, Alma felt her feet go weak and almost fell to the ground.

"Why are you walking back? That iron ball doesn't look very fast." Seeing Alma like this, Edward felt a little strange.

Seeing Edward's look, Alma smiled bitterly and said, "Go back? Do you think the person who designed the passage is a fool?

Since he has the ability to design such a perverted double trap, God knows what traps are waiting for us to exploit." "Really? In that case, let me get rid of that iron ball." I heard Alma say this.

, Edward seemed a little indifferent.

He pulled out the Mighty Sword and put it in front of Ellie and said, "The fire mark is enough.

That kind of iron knot won't cost anything." Then Ellie branded a red mark on Edward's sword so quickly that Alma could hardly see it clearly.

Edward nodded, then clenched the sword in his hand and stared at the iron ball rolling towards him.

Just when the iron ball rolled down just a few meters in front of them, Edward finally moved.

I saw him turning sideways, taking a step forward with his right foot, and with the help of his right hand, the Divine Mighty Sword in his hand was lifted up from bottom to top.

Then there was only a harsh sound of metal friction. When the sound passed, Alma saw that almost half of Edward's sword had been inserted into the iron ball, and the iron ball stopped as a result.

Just when she was surprised by Edward's domineering strength, something even more surprising happened to her.

I saw a burst of red light suddenly coming out of the originally dark iron ball, and then I heard a huge roar.

What appeared at the same time were countless red-hot iron blocks flying in all directions.

At this moment, Ellie was also one step ahead of Edward, and deployed a protective barrier in front of Alma to ensure that Alma would not be honeycombed by the flying iron blocks.

"Okay, so strong... I didn't expect the sword master to be so strong." Alma murmured while looking at the broken iron filings on the ground outside the barrier.

"Haha, a trap of this level is not difficult for me.

If I couldn't even figure this out, I might have died hundreds of times." Edward put away his sword and said with a smile.

Although Edward just said a few words casually, Alma still heard a question from it: "From what you say, have you done this kind of thing a lot?" "Absolutely.

I have done this a few times in the past when I helped other teams explore some miscellaneous ruins.

This is what I do when encountering similar problems." Edward nodded, not denying what he said.

"Then what would you do if you encountered that kind of trigger trap?" Alma already seemed a little crazy at this time. She had never seen such a random person, although his strength did allow him to

It’s random, but there should be a limit.

"Just jump over. It's a trigger anyway. It'll be fine if I don't touch it." Edward said directly without even thinking.

"Then...then, how do you get past that kind of magic trap that is always open?" When she said these words, Alma's face already seemed a little twitching.

"This is not easy, just ask Ellie to open a protective barrier and go directly through it.

If Ellie can't stop that magic trap, then there's no need to go through it.

It's safer to go back directly." After listening to Edward's words, Alma now even wanted to die. The two people in front of her were like cattle. They did not consider the consequences when doing things, and did everything in the seemingly simplest way.

solve.

Fortunately, the two of them are so incredibly strong that ordinary people would have died countless times.

"Okay, okay.

Why do you look like this?" Edward also saw that Alma's expression was not normal, so he immediately changed the subject casually, "Now that the trap is gone, we can continue." Alma looked at the monster with a look.

After staring at Edward for a few seconds, he finally nodded with helplessness and depression.

And just as the three of them continued to move forward again, in the deepest part of the passage, a lean and rather slender man with his face covered by a black scarf was looking at him sitting not far away.

The man holding the crystal roared loudly.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, the two dark green daggers hanging on his waist revealed his identity - Keith, the manager of the Southern Rangers Union.

"What the hell are you doing? Didn't you say yesterday that that stinky guy was still on his way to Kalei City? Why are they here now?

You followed those damn flies to this place?" "Lord Keith, you don't have to be so angry.

Even if they find this place, they may not find anything.

And my trap is not that easy to deal with. Just take your time and watch, something wonderful will happen soon." The man who was still staring at the crystal wore a large robe, almost completely wrapping the other person in it.

It looks mysterious and mysterious.

"Humph, I don't have time to look at this kind of thing now.

I finally got the Philosopher's Gem, and I thought I could break through the protective barrier and get that thing.

Seeing that the method of use is almost clear, something like this happened at this juncture." Keith walked back and forth anxiously as he spoke. After a while, he said to the mysterious man, "I don't care.

Since you can deal with those people, that's the best, and don't forget that I will only give you the Philosopher's Stone after I get that thing.

You'd better not give me any tricks." After saying this, Keith opened a secret door on the wall and walked away without knowing anything.

And the mysterious man didn't show any nervous expression after watching Keith leave, but continued to stare at the crystal, watching every move of Edward and his party through the observation crystal he had installed.

"Hmph, I'm not interested in the Philosopher's Gem.

What I'm really interested in are those two people.

Let me weigh their strength for my master today."

Although they were monitored along the way, Edward and the others did not notice it because the rest of the journey for the three of them was really not smooth.

Along the way, Edward and Ellie saw almost all the traps they had seen or never seen before in their memories. The cleverness of the traps was a bit incredible. It seemed that the person who set the traps was planning the consequences while setting them up.

What will happen to a certain trap? If you encounter any problems next, it may kill you.

Several chain traps almost always trigger one, and most people will have to trigger the second, and the third until death comes.

But in contrast to this is Alma's incredibly dexterous hands. Except for the big loss in the first trap, Alma seemed to have been hit by some kind of blow. With those simple things,

The tools dismantled almost all the traps she could dismantle along the way.

Moreover, she took away the most valuable parts of most of the mechanisms that could not be dismantled and destroyed them into a pile of furnishings.

Her actions were simply retaliation for the person who set up the trap. You must know that the materials for the trap are not free.

Just by her own calculation, the total value of the traps destroyed by Alma was almost over 20 platinum coins.

Not to mention the priceless magic crystals and other rare materials she kept in her pocket.

However, the cost of Alma's actions was a waste of a lot of time. In Edward's opinion, the journey could only take five minutes at most because Alma's move might take nearly half an hour to complete.

So by the time they reached the end of the passage, it had already taken them more than four hours.

"Finally done.

This door should be the only one left." Standing in front of a stone door at the end of the passage, Alma said while stretching her muscles.

Obviously, she was very tired from dismantling so many traps just now, but her next words almost made Edward fall to the ground, "Hey, is there anything to eat? I'm starving to death!" "Did you make a mistake?

Do you know how much you ate while dismantling the trap just now?" Edward said gloomily as he opened the package he brought with him, took out a piece of bread and threw it to Alma.

In fact, Alma's mouth almost never stopped from the beginning. After she wiped away Ellie's usual snacks and fruits, she started eating dry food. Anyway, her mouth never stopped for a moment.

"Hehe, there's no way.

I can't concentrate if I eat something while working." Alma smiled sheepishly and threw the bread in her mouth into her mouth.

"You... you can do it." Edward looked at Alma who looked unconcerned, and really couldn't say anything.

He had even begun to wonder if Alma was an orc who was reincarnated into an elf by mistake.

The next gate didn't cause them any trouble. Alma just checked it briefly and found the mechanism and opened it.

With a sound of rocks rubbing against each other, the door slowly opened inside.

The three people looked around at the door for a moment, and it seemed that there was a rectangular hall inside.
