This Text Adventure Game is Totally Poisonous

"Boom!"

In the diffuse sandstorm, the clear crackling sound echoed over the Gobi, causing the hearts of all the soldiers below to jump.

The entrance to the manticore lair is open!

On the other side, the manticore realized that his territory had been breached, and became even more furious. He wanted to fly towards the cave regardless, but was entangled in place by the bone dragon, unable to escape for a while.

And taking advantage of the opportunity of the two giant beasts hurting each other, everyone also subconsciously turned their targets to the lair above.

For example, Evans, since the entrance has been opened, there is nothing to hesitate, the most important thing is to grab the magic lamp before the opponent.

Evans immediately turned around and rushed towards the hole on the cliff.

A group of elite soldiers followed him and moved towards the entrance of the cave.

However, just before everyone rushed to the cave, they were about to rush in.

Under the cover of sand and dust, another loud roar suddenly sounded.

Then a huge palm surrounded by black shadows protruded from the sand and took pictures of everyone.

"Shadow Ghost!"

Evans reacted the fastest and narrowly avoided the blow with his super agility.

But the soldiers behind him were not so lucky. When they found that there was a giant beast in front of them, they had no room to hide. Hundreds of people crowded together, and were slapped away by the shadow ghost without falling.

After the Shadow Ghost struck, he found that there was still a fish that slipped through the net. He growled immediately, and swung his claws again to grab Evans on the ground.

It's a pity that it still underestimated Evans' speed.

Even though Shadow Ghost uses both claws to grab with all his strength, Evans can always slip away from the opponent's claws nimbly like a loach.

After dodging and moving, Evans jumped up in one step, stepped on the shadow ghost's shoulder, and disappeared into the cave behind him.

This humiliating act made Shadow Ghost furious, but he had no choice but to give up temporarily and turn around to stop others. The task Muyou gave it was to help the bone dragon deal with the manticore, and at the same time block the entrance of the cave as much as possible, so as not to let others enter.

Shadow Ghost leaned his back directly in front of the cave, blocking the entrance of the cave behind him.

And a lion and a dragon fighting in the distance also tacitly approached the entrance of the cave during the fight, giving the shadow ghost a chance to join the battle.

For a moment, the three giant beasts fought together completely. You scratched my paw, I punched you back, and you bit it. The scene was quite chaotic.

However, in terms of combat power, the manticore is obviously superior. The shadow ghost and the bone dragon are two against one, and they can only draw with the manticore, and it is difficult to tell the winner in a short time.

As for the other ordinary people present, they were completely dumbfounded at this time.

One hundred thousand troops surrounded the cave one after another, looking at each other in blank dismay. In this situation, should they continue to attack?

Speaking of hands, before dealing with a manticore, it took three days and three nights to wipe out half of the blood, but now you have to deal with three at a time, with the head?

What's more, now that someone has entered the cave, by the time they finish fighting, it is estimated that the ownership of the magic lamp will have been settled long ago.

In the end, the commander could only give an order to 'wait and see what happens'. So tens of thousands of troops surrounded the cliff in this way, watching the giant beasts fight.

...

【You have entered the manticore lair! 】

【In front of your eyes is a golden cave. 】

[The entire cave is surrounded by piles of gold and silver treasures, which makes your greed hard to contain, and you unconsciously stretch out your hand towards the golden holy grail closest to you...]

[You picked up the golden holy grail. You have suffered the 'curse of greed', your vitality is rapidly passing away, and your lifespan is -1000 years! 】

【All the treasures in this cave have been cursed with greed by the manticore. Anything you take away will deduct 500-1000 years of your lifespan according to the value! 】

"Depend on!"

Mu You hurriedly went back.

This curse is a bit scary, if you touch it for 1000 years, Mu You can't afford to offend it.

But in this way, wouldn't the lifespan be deducted for taking the magic lamp in the end?

Mu You didn't have time to think about it. At this moment, a new prompt popped up in the game.

[You walk towards the depths of the cave. 】

[You seem to have stepped on some kind of mechanism, and countless scarabs drilled out of the surrounding gold bottles and rushed towards you. 】

[The spiral gun barrel emerges above your arms, and dense flames spew out rapidly, and all the scarabs that approach you will explode and die in the sound of hissing...]

Before coming to attack the manticore's lair this time, Mu You went to Eternal Night City on purpose to get back the ancient power furnace and the forest spirit core.

No way, in the case that the vampire skin cannot be used, the mecha skin is the best combat skin for him.

【You are about to continue to go deeper into the cave, when several crescent-shaped sword qi suddenly strike from behind you. 】

[You couldn't dodge it enough, you were hit by sword energy, and your body was damaged in many places, the current body integrity: 76.5%...]

"Is it still after you..." Mu You sighed, not too surprised.

He specially brought shadow ghosts here this time, but relying on shadow ghosts alone, it is still very difficult to stop a human being who is also at level 30.

[Time flies, you go back to before the sword. 】

[Sword Qi surged again, you dodged in advance to a safe direction, and finally narrowly avoided all the sword Qi. 】

[Your right arm quickly transforms into a 'floating machine gun', facing the direction where the sword energy is flying, a string of straight tongues of flame spurt out. 】

【One hundred floating bombs lined up in a straight line and shot towards the people flying in the distance. However, what followed was a series of sounds of gold and iron clanging. 】

【You watched with your own eyes Evans, who was in iron armor, smashing all the floating bombs with incredible precision and speed. 】

"???"

Mu You looked confused.

It was the first time he had seen someone deal with the floating machine gun like this, smashing a hundred bullets in five seconds, how fast is that?

【Evans perfectly avoids your attack, and then quickly kills you with a broadsword in his hand. 】

[You are locked on by some kind of murderous intent, and your whole body becomes sluggish. Evans appears beside you like a teleportation, slashing at you with a sword, and you can't dodge it...]

[Just as Evans was about to hit, three arrows from behind shot through the air one after another with the power of the wind. Even Evans had to avoid the sharp edge, so he had to cancel the attack and retreat temporarily. 】

【You took the opportunity to escape and threw a repelling grenade at Evans by taking advantage of the blind spot. 】

【Evans seemed to have eyes behind his back, with a flick of his wrist, the sword slashed across, and knocked the grenade out of the air with the blade. 】

[The repelling grenade whose flight trajectory was changed happened to fly towards the shadow wolf who was collecting arrows in the distance...]

[The next second, a repulsive air wave erupted. Even though the Shadow Wolf reacted quickly and rolled to dodge ahead of time, he was still hit behind by the repulsive force of the explosion, and was pushed into the smoke and dust, his life and death unknown...]

"Depend on……"

Mu You was extremely surprised. It's okay to split a string of floating bullets before, but it's still an understandable action.

But things like grenades will explode immediately when they encounter obstacles. The opponent actually kept the grenade from exploding, but instead accurately drew the grenade towards the shadow wolf, turning it into a weapon for killing with a knife... This can only show The opponent's strength control has reached an incredible level!

After recovering, Mu You couldn't help frowning.

He didn't ask Lin Xue to help him in this operation. On the one hand, it was because she was still cultivating, and on the other hand, her death skin's duration was too short, so it could only be used as a trump card. It would be a waste to use it here.

So Mu You didn't alarm her at all, but called Shadow Wolf to help.

Although Shadow Wolf is one level lower than Evans, he has very rich combat experience.

As for Mu You himself, even though he wasn't there in person, the mecha skin is compatible with the game system. He was not inferior to fighting an army of mechas alone in Clockwork City before.

Now that they are two against one, Mu You thought that they should be stable, but in the end they were slapped in the face.

Apparently, Evans has rich combat experience as well, and he didn't see any magic in the whole process, relying on one person and one sword, with a mortal body, he was stunned to be able to gain the upper hand with one enemy and two.

It was only then that Mu You realized that a fighter like Evans, who had been trained on the battlefield all year round, was a master who could truly represent the top combat power of the human race. Level, but not much practical experience of parallel imports.

Fortunately, it wasn't that easy for Evans to subdue the two of them in a short time.

[You activated the sand spider nest, densely packed sand spiders gushed out from your body, exploring the depths of the cave...]

[You switched the fighting circuit and fought with Evans in close quarters...]

Next, Mu You cooperated with Shadow Wolf and Evans to entangle near the entrance of the cave, buying time for the sand spiders to find the magic lamp.

Fortunately, the magic lamp was not deliberately hidden by the manticore, but was placed in the depths of the cave without any cover, on the most conspicuous stone platform.

As soon as the sand spiders entered the nest, they immediately sent him back the trace of the magic lamp.

[With the cover of the shadow wolf, you carry the cannon and blast out with one shot. The light and shadow of the cannon engulfed Evans...]

【Put away the cannon barrel, you immediately turn around and run towards the depths of the nest against the wall. The walking wall mechanical feet under your feet provide you with super high stability, even in caves with many debris, you can move as if walking on the ground...]

[You entered the depths of the manticore's lair, and saw the golden lamp on the stone platform in the center of the lair at a glance! 】

[This is a gold pot lamp inlaid with a large number of gemstones, which still shines brightly in the dim light in the cave, showing a fascinating charm! 】

[Miracle Lamp: A lamp exuding infinite charm, one of the legendary artifacts of the Lamp God, whoever gets it can get the chance to make a wish to the Lamp God! 】

"Is it really a magic lamp?"

Mu You was surprised, he didn't expect to find the magic lamp so smoothly, and the troubadour he had been on guard against before didn't appear to make trouble...

At this time, Mu You didn't have time to think about it, the magic lamp was close in front of him, and he had no reason not to take it. As for the curse of life in the magic lamp meeting... Compared with the value of a magic weapon, what is a mere 1,000-year lifespan? ?

【Looking at the treasure that is so close at hand, you don't care and run towards the stone platform at high speed! 】

[But an afterimage came first, rushed to the side of the stone platform at a speed that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye, and snatched the magic lamp from the stone platform. It was Evans! 】

【Looking back, the shadow wolf behind you is half kneeling on the ground, with blood on the corners of its lips, and has been seriously injured by Evans...】

Mu You's eyelids twitched. It seemed that Evans had been holding back before, until the moment when every second counted to grab the lamp, he suddenly broke out, seriously injured the shadow wolf with one move, and then came from behind and snatched the magic lamp.

Mu You hurriedly backtracked and switched to a vampire skin. At this time, only 'Super Speed' can change the result.

[You switched the vampire marquis skin, daydreaming curse attack, you become drowsy, listless, unable to lift your energy. 】

[You activated the super speed, everything around you slowed down instantly. 】

[You saw Evans passing by you while maintaining a running posture. In the slow-motion time, Evans turned his head to look at you with a feeling, and your eyes met in mid-air. 】

[Evans surpassed you! 】

【You try hard to catch up, but because of your drowsy body, your feet are floating, it is difficult to catch up with his footsteps...】

"Ah this?"

Mu You almost thought that he had misread it, but his speed was still lagging behind Evans at a speed 360 times faster than that of Evans...

Is this guy still human?

Before he had time to think about it, Mu You hurriedly changed his strategy.

If you can't compete in speed, then you can only fight magic!

[You released the 'Shape Shift', and when Evans was about to touch the magic lamp, you switched positions with him! 】

【You grabbed the magic lamp on the stone platform! 】

[You triggered the greed trap, lifespan -1000 years...]

Sure enough, life was deducted, but fortunately, Mu You was already mentally prepared, and there was no accident at this time.

What really surprised him was the hint that the Omniscient Crystal gave back.

[Start with the pot lamp, but you don’t feel the magical power that the artifact should have from it, it seems to be just an ordinary lamp with no appearance...]

"Huh?"

Mu You frowned, this kind of reminder, could it be that the magic lamp is fake?

Reminiscent of the mysterious troubadour, Mu You felt more and more that there might be something wrong with the lamp.

Before he could think about it, the text prompted Evans to see that he had snatched the lamp, and was already rushing towards him like crazy. Mu You simply went back according to the table, and canceled the casting, and planned to let Evans get the magic lamp first. what happens.

Otherwise, if it was really a fake, it would be a shame to deduct a thousand years of his life in vain!

[Time flies, you stay where you are, watching Evans rush to the stone platform and snatch the magic lamp! 】

[Evans, who got the magic lamp, did not hesitate, the raging destructive energy in his hand instantly condensed, and smashed the magic lamp to the ground with the momentum of thunder. 】

[Amidst a crisp crashing sound, the magic lamp shattered! 】

"It's really decisive..."

Mu You was speechless. No matter how you say it is an artifact, Evans really doesn't have any greed, he just destroys it without even looking at it!

To be honest, he doesn't have this kind of courage. Even if he stands in Evans' position, he must put away the magic lamp first to see the situation. Destroying the magic lamp is a choice only when there is no way out... …

[A group of blue smoke suddenly emerged from the shattered magic lamp, and condensed into the appearance of a person on the stone platform in front. 】

【"It's you?" You heard Evans' surprised voice. 】

[Accompanied by the sound of strings, the troubadour appeared on the stone platform, raised his legs, plucked the handqin in his arms, and sang to the accompaniment: "Two warriors, stay safe and don't be impatient. I would like to sit down and listen Shall I sing a song?”]

The magic lamp is indeed fake!

Mu You immediately confirmed this.

In other words, the information that the troubadour provided to the two of them was false: there is no real magic lamp in the manticore's lair, and the other party said so just to attract the two of them to come here to achieve a certain purpose.

But at this time, after smashing the fake magic lamp, the troubadour appeared directly... It seemed that the other party was not afraid of them making trouble for him.

【"Who on earth are you?" Evans held the sword in his hand, but did not attack immediately, but pointed to the troubadour and asked. 】

["Two, let me re-introduce, my name is Ifrit, and mortals generally call me the 'God of Lamp'." The troubadour sang. 】

This guy is the lamp god?

Mu You was taken aback for a moment, but it made sense in this way, no wonder the troubadour knew so many things about him the first time he saw him.

Mu You suddenly remembered the previous text of the minstrel when he first appeared on the stage. So, the real miraculous lamp is the broken oil lamp hanging on his waist?

【"You are the lamp god? Then who is Caesar?" You asked. 】

【"Caesar, it's just a villain who stole my divine power!" The troubadour said with a flat smile. 】

【"Caesar was sealed by you?" Evans suddenly put away his sword, as if he had recognized the identity of the other party's lamp god, and his tone became respectful when facing the bard. 】

[The troubadour shook his head and smiled wryly: "After I was stolen by Caesar, I no longer sealed his power. It was he himself who was greedy and broke into the retirement place I built for myself in order to get back the magic pen. The lamp god Illusion, this is why I took the opportunity to be trapped in it.\
