Chapter 244. 244. Explorer's Armguard

After crossing the covered bridge, there was another corridor less than five meters deep. There was no light source, and Bai Ye still had to rely on the power of nature to see his surroundings clearly.

In addition to a door facing the corridor bridge, this corridor also has a spiral upward staircase at the end of the corridor.

"Go ahead and have a look in this room."

Bai Ye pushed the door of the room in front of him, and the door creaked and opened smoothly.

The room was lit. Although the light was dim, it could be seen that this was a bedroom of tens of square meters.

Bai Ye switched his concentration posture, went in and looked around, and found an item of unusual quality on the bookshelf.

This is a blue arm guard with intricate and delicate lines outlined on the surface, which looks very old.

【Explorer Armguard】

[Special effects: Mystic shooting, firing an energy bomb from a long distance, causing 1% damage to the normal target's health, but it will cause great damage to the spirit body. (The energy on the armguard only supports 3 launches, after which the special effect will become +2% damage reduction)]

"The damage of this special effect is about zero, and I don't know if it has any other uses?"

Bai Ye directly put the armguard on his right hand, watched it for a while, and it looked pretty good.

After leaving the bedroom, he walked up the steps.

"That fake Valrid can only hide in the attic."

At this point, we must be more cautious. Bai Ye doesn't know what abilities the opponent has. Since the opponent can cast the body-swapping spell, he should order something else.

But think about it from another angle, my combat ability has been greatly weakened by the system from the very beginning of this game, so correspondingly, there should not be a level that needs to be fought to pass in this scene, right?

Moreover, the other party had already discovered Bai Ye's intentions just now, so there was no guarantee that they would not set a trap in the attic in advance, waiting for Bai Ye to throw himself into the trap.

But going out now to find out, there is no other choice.

Even if there was danger ahead, Bai Ye could only bite the bullet and break in.

……

But when Bai Ye walked up the stairs and entered the attic, he realized that his worries were completely unnecessary, because the fake Walred hiding in the attic had already left.

The area of ​​the attic is not large, and it is very messy inside, full of scrolls like ghost symbols and strange alchemy items.

The skylight at the top was open, and the rain from outside poured in, soaking the floor in the middle.

There is a ladder under the window, the impostor should have climbed this ladder to escape from the skylight.

Bai Ye climbed up the ladder to check, and found that the roof of a house was next to the attic. If you go out through the skylight, you can jump to the roof next to it, and then escape from the roof to the ground.

He spent a little time searching for items in the bedroom just now, but now he could only see the darkness on the roof outside, and there was nowhere to be found the figure of the impostor.

Bai Ye had no choice but to return to the attic.

"Valred said that destroying the altar in the attic will remove his body-changing status."

"Hmm... the altar?"

There was nothing in the attic that looked like an 'altar'.

Bai Ye switched the active posture back to concentration, probably because his concentration posture level was high enough. After scanning around, he found 3 objects in the attic with light strokes showing clues.

Then check it out one by one.

He first picked up a scroll that was spread out on the ground, and the system prompted him to obtain "An Analysis of the Necronomicon: Chapter Four"

The scroll is full of incomprehensible ghostly characters, and there is a hand-painted illustration next to it. The illustration shows two little people connected by silk threads. They stand above a mysterious magic circle, floating above their heads. Something that looks like a will-o'-the-wisp.

"Is this supposed to be a body swap spell?"

The meaning of the illustrations is very easy to understand.

"This magic circle is the so-called altar, right?"

After Bai Ye realized this, he quickly swept away some sundries on the surrounding ground with his feet, but there was no magic circle pattern on the floor.

The clues are broken here.

"Hiss—how should this be solved?"

He touched his chin with his hand, frowning slightly.

"Didn't there be a few other clues, let's check first."

Bai Ye temporarily gave up on breaking the altar of the body-changing spell, and turned to look at the next item that received a clue.

That thing is a pair of goggles, the lenses are made of a black blue gemstone.

——You got [Obsidian Goggles]

【Obsidian Goggles】

[Special Effects: Wearing it allows you to see the spirits that exist in the scene. 】

[Can it be taken away from the scene: No]

"There is a pattern of ghost fire drawn on the illustration, which should be the spirit body that exists near the altar. This prop is used to discover the spirit body."

Bai Ye immediately understood the purpose of the goggles here, and put them on to look at the direction above his head.

Sure enough, on the ceiling of the attic, a translucent spirit body was floating around in circles.

The appearance of this spirit body was very familiar to Bai Ye, it was the mixed-race servant with a strong fishy smell.

"The will-o'-the-wisps in the illustration are floating above the magic circle, and the position of the magic circle can be determined by seeing the spirit body."

Bai Ye lowered his head and looked at the surrounding attic floor, knowing that the altar was there, but he had no way to make the altar appear.

He then went on to look at the last piece of clues that had been found.

That thing is a gooseneck bottle, placed at the lowest end of a sundry shelf, if it weren't for the glowing strokes of clues, players would easily overlook it if they didn't search carefully.

Bai Ye picked up the gooseneck bottle, but there was no clue, but his hands were heavy, accompanied by the sloshing of liquid.

"That's the thing."

It is good to have a high level of concentration posture. Just glance at it, and all the clues will be displayed in front of your eyes, which is equivalent to directly helping the player solve a slightly complicated problem.

Bai Ye pulled out the cork on the gooseneck bottle, and immediately there was an extremely foul smell coming out of it.

He held the gooseneck bottle at a slant, and immediately poured out a black-red, foul-smelling liquid from the mouth of the bottle. As soon as the liquid dropped to the ground, it immediately sparked countless green flames on the floor.

He continued to increase the tilt of the gooseneck bottle, and the stinky liquid inside kept pouring on the ground, and the green flames on the floor soon formed a cluster of flames.

Although the green fire was burning vigorously, Bai Ye couldn't feel the slightest heat.

The green fire crawled on the floor like snakes, and quickly drew a complicated magic circle.

Bai Ye took the scroll with the illustrations and compared it, and confirmed that the green fire circle was the body-changing altar above.

As the altar emerged, the souls of the servants wandering in circles on the ceiling also seemed to have been lifted from some kind of restriction. They stopped circling and looked around with blank eyes.

When it saw Bai Ye on the ground, it immediately uttered the unique cry of deep divers, and plunged headlong towards Bai Ye.

"What are you doing? Will you attack people?"

Bai Ye reacted quickly. Seeing something strange in the soul body, he quickly dodged aside, raised his right hand with the 'Explorer's Armguard', and aimed at the servant's soul with a secret shot.

A surge of energy appeared on the blue explorer's armguard, and these energies were concentrated on a transparent gemstone on the top of the armguard. The gemstone immediately burst into bright light and ejected a white band of energy light.

The energy light band spanned a distance of several meters and hit the servant's soul head-on.

The other party immediately screamed in pain, and a hole appeared in the forehead hit by the secret shot, and a white light came out of the hole.

In an instant, the soul body exploded silently, dissipating in the air without even scum left.
