Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 51 Gem Beetle
At the same time, Li Wei also heard a series of "click, click" sounds, which sounded like the impact of some kind of hard object!

At this time, Donna, who heard the cry, also ran over immediately, and pulled out the spear that had been carried behind her back, but was almost completely useless.

Li Wei also put on a mage armor for her immediately. As an energy armor, it can not only resist physical damage, but also has a certain magic resistance. Presumably, it should also be able to protect against acid. effect.

After Donna took a quick look with her probe, there was another "Puff" sound from inside the treasure chest, and three balls of acid flew out.

But this time Donna was not as timid as Sam. She first dodged at an extremely fast speed, then screamed coquettishly, stabbed inward with the spear several times, and then slammed hard.

There was a "cracking" sound, and several large beetles, which were more than a foot long and shone with metallic luster, fell to the ground.

In addition to an extremely deep blood hole behind them, there are several extremely small green gemstones inlaid around them, some of which are rapidly fading.

And in front of their heads, there is a pair of sharp upper jaws that are completely disproportionate to the body, similar to giant pliers. It seems that they should have made the "click" sound before.

"Li Wei, I got it done. There are still some things in it, which seem to be the carapaces of these beetles, and there are a few that seem to be some eggs."

While speaking, Donna took out some carapaces that had obviously been treated. Judging from their appearance, they were clearly the same as the corpses of the beetles on the ground.

If you have to find some differences, it is probably because the positions of the gems behind the carapace are empty.

Sam, who was clearly terrified, came back to his senses, and he said in shock, "My lord, this is a gem beetle, usually a trap and collectible that the dragons deliberately left in the treasure house, as a guard and Sentinels exist."

"In addition to being used for digging holes, their upper jaws are also very suitable for hunting animals, humans, or halflings!"

Looking at his appearance and listening to his words, Li Wei knew that there must be some stories behind it. Perhaps some of Sam's relatives and friends had died on the upper jaw of the jewel beetle.

As for hearing that the jewel beetles were traps and collectibles used by giant dragons to guard the treasury, he wasn't surprised at all. He just thought that sure enough, they had guessed many times before, and now it's just a further confirmation.

But he didn't have time to ask Sam carefully at this time, he just went to touch the corpses of those gem beetles immediately, if they were collectibles that could enter the dragon's treasure house when they were alive, what about them after they died?
Moreover, he had some vague guesses about the gem-like gadgets behind the other party. These gem beetles just used acid twice, and it happened that there were also two gems that were quickly extinguished behind them. Is there any direct connection between them? Woolen cloth?
As soon as he got it, the system prompt popped up immediately, just as he guessed, they were indeed all a special kind of valuables!

Carcass of the Jewel Beetle (Emerald - Broken): Valuable item, can be sold, or used as a material for sacrifices, magic, alchemy, or forging.

(It is said that if a gem beetle is killed before it uses up its daily spell-like abilities, the remaining fully formed gems on its carapace can be removed, and each spell-like ability used by the killed beetle, then the number of gems will be reduced by one, and you will never be able to mine gems from live bugs)
Li Wei was overjoyed immediately, and then he immediately touched the carapaces exuding metallic luster in the treasure chest, and got a similar system prompt.

The back shell of the gem beetle (Jade type-broken): special material, can be sold, and can also be used as alchemy or forging materials.

(All gem beetles can use a 0-level magic. Although their corpses lose their magic power after losing the gems, the hard shells of these bugs are also very valuable. Maybe you can ask the blacksmith blacksmith?)

Obviously, the value of the latter is much lower, but Li Wei immediately wiped out the 13 back shells in the treasure chest. This special back shell only occupies one grid every 20 copies.

Then he did not let go of the three corpses, and packed them together.

At this time, the system's prompt came too late, saying that they had just achieved an unremarkable victory, and their opponents were three first-rank emerald beetles.

As for the eggs that Donna mentioned, they were also the eggs of the emerald beetles among these jewel beetles.

According to the system prompt, after they grow up, they will become Tier 1 soldiers. In addition to using their huge and sharp upper jaws for physical attacks, they can also use Tier 4 magic-like acid splash 0 times a day, which is exactly equal to the number of weapons on their backs. The number of gems.

At this time, Li Wei probably figured out that there should be many types of gem beetles. This kind of emerald gem beetle can use acid splash, and other types should also master different magic.

No, the system is talking about magic, which is different from the magic that mages need to recite incantations and cooperate with gestures to use. Magic, refers to special powers that have similar effects but may actually have different principles?

But that's right, gem beetles probably don't have enough wisdom to learn magic. This should be their innate talent, so they are called magic-like!
"Li Wei, there's still a box inside!"

As soon as he put away the corpses of these jewel beetles, Donna immediately shouted in surprise.

In fact, she didn't need to say much, Li Wei had already seen it, because after taking away most of the things, what was left was a piece of golden light, and there was an extremely hidden and gorgeous small treasure box inside!
Sam also hurriedly poked his neck to look over, but within two seconds, he immediately shook his head and sighed: "I'm very sorry, my lord, I can't open this special magic treasure chest at the moment."

Li Wei took a few glances. In addition to the bright golden light, this treasure chest is probably made of gold. It also faintly reveals the unique gleam of magic on its surface, much like the light on the magic pond before.

"Is it possible to break through violence?"

Sam shook his head: "Even if it is broken by force, there is a high probability that the contents inside will be damaged together. This is a safety measure that most magic treasure chests have set in advance, just like a space bag."

Li Wei shrugged and mastered another little knowledge.

So he didn't force it anymore: "Forget it, I am very satisfied with the current harvest, and we should go. I seem to vaguely hear the barking of dogs and howling of wolves outside becoming more intense."

While speaking, Li Wei handed the shimmering scabbard to Donna: "Donna, will carrying it affect your movements?"

Seven grids hold the slate, two grids hold the corpses of gem beetles, and the last grid holds their eggs. Now his space backpack is full, and those scrolls and the like have to be stuffed into his pockets.

Usually he didn't think so, but this time he really felt that his space backpack was too small. If it could be several times bigger, he would have to move all the wood in the kobold warehouse.

Donna smiled and took it, and hung it on her waist: "If it's a battle, it will indeed have a little impact, but if it's just evacuating from here, it won't be at all."

Li Wei also laughed: "Okay, you can help me get it first, we are indeed going to retreat, I have heard more and more dogs barking, it seems that the kobolds who went out have returned."

"But before that, I need to do one more thing."

Li Wei's eyes gradually turned to the pile of corpses. Although most of them were cavemen who didn't want to die, there were also half-elf, human and dwarf corpses. If they continued to stay here, they would undoubtedly change. Food for kobolds.

He can't take them away, but he can do one thing.

Holding the rusty flame iron badge tightly in one hand, Li Wei grasped the five fingers of the other hand falsely, and the fiery line of fire surged out from his fingertips: "Burning hand!"
