As for Norlandi, although she was born as the daughter of a duke, the Duke of Pendragon had already fallen into decline and even his territory had shrunk significantly.
It is conceivable that the economic situation is very bleak, otherwise Noranti would not have become the guardian knight of Her Royal Highness the Princess to supplement the family income.
Even Davilia was a little excited when she saw the gold all over the ground, and the poorer Nolandi was naturally no exception.
On the contrary, Loelle, the little maid, and Xingyi, the familiar, had no reaction when they saw the gold - they had followed Wanxing to [Grecius's Dragon's Lair], where there was much more gold than here. Even the floor, pillars, and walls were pure gold. The dragon clan was indeed the most miserly race on the continent!
Although Wan Xing had not measured it carefully, he remembered that the forty-nine pure gold pillars in the Dragon Nest Hall were at least ten meters in diameter and over a hundred meters high.
He didn't think about it carefully at the time, but now when he recalls it, any one of them would be at least more than 7850 cubic meters of gold!
It is known that the density of gold is approximately 19.32 tons/cubic meter.
7850 cubic meters...
It takes 151,662 tons of gold to make a giant pillar of pure gold!
The floor, furniture and other things in the Dragon's Nest are also enlarged in proportion. You can calculate it yourself.
Of course, it needs to be clarified here that gold is not so abundant in the world that it can be found everywhere.
It is very difficult for humans in this world to mine gold. The same is true for the elves and orcs. Even the dwarves, a race that is good at mining and has disappeared for many years, actually do not produce much gold.
But the dragon race is different. As amphibious creatures, they have the world's best physique and can survive in space and underground magma.
Gold minerals that are difficult for other races to obtain on the surface are not difficult for dragons to obtain.
Given how much dragons love treasure, they are naturally willing to spend time drilling into volcanoes and entering the deep underground through magma.
As we all know, the gold reserves on the surface are relatively small, accounting for only a small part of the total reserves of a planet. These gold are the main part that humans can actually use.
Most of the gold is located deep underground. Due to the extremely high temperature and pressure of the earth's core, humans cannot directly mine the gold, but dragons can.
That’s why Dragon’s Nest is so rich.
As the saying goes, once the sea is difficult to become water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud.
Luo Ai'er and Xing Yi have seen the world, so they are naturally unmoved.
The same goes for Sylphy. The sea tribe has a vast territory and a sparse population, and the mermaids, as royal family, naturally have no shortage of gold.
"Everyone, don't go near those boxes and stone shelves. There are poisonous snakes and insects lurking inside. It's not too late to take them out after we defeat the main boss on that floor!" Wan Xing commanded.
As the leader of the team, he was obviously calmer and was not overwhelmed by the gold all over the ground.
Wan Xing's eyes were fixed on the huge golden coffin in the center of the space. The mere gold, silver and treasures were not worth his attention at all.
Not to mention, within the field of view of analysis and identification, countless scarabs and king cobras were hidden behind each box and stone shelf.
Although these little guys don't have strong destructive power, they all emit a faint poisonous aura of annihilation that slowly drifts away.
The entire space was filled with this annihilating poisonous gas, making intruders feel extremely depressed. This shows how numerous the scarabs and king cobras were.
Click!Click!Click!
Just when Wanxing was about to deal with the main BOSS of the floor, such a sound came from somewhere.
He looked around and discovered that the surfaces of the scarabs and king snakes were cracking.
boom! boom! boom!
It was like a chain reaction. As the first scarab self-destructed, countless scarabs followed suit, and then the self-destruction spread to the king snake.
The transmission process was very fast. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of scarabs and king snakes began to explode.
The Wanxing team had not launched an attack yet, but they seemed to have suffered the most terrifying attack. The annihilation poison gas swept through the central area of the pyramid like a hurricane.
In fact, these two monsters seem to be lying in ambush behind boxes and stone shelves, preparing for a sneak attack, but they are actually using themselves as bait.
They just wait for intruders to kill them, and the poisonous gas of annihilation released after death will cause the intruders to be poisoned and die unknowingly in the fierce battle.
Of course, if the intruder is too weak and cannot even withstand the first wave of sneak attacks, there is no need to use a backup plan.
Unfortunately, Wanxing was too cautious and was unmoved by the gold, silver and treasures.
Therefore, these scarabs and king snakes could only self-destruct on the spot and directly enter the second stage.
The biting gray fog and the all-destructive poison gas burst out from the bodies of these little guys at once, covering and affecting the entire space.
Wan Xing, who had made sufficient preparations and covered the entire team with [Earth Guardian], was not at all out of place. In this situation, he could even observe the details of the main BOSS of the floor in the golden coffin with ease.
Chapter 153: Controlling the Water
The annihilation poison gas and the aftermath of the self-explosion hit the [Earth Guardian], but could not shake it at all. The khaki light shield stood there motionless.
This chaotic process lasted for about ten seconds before it slowly subsided.
The scene in front of Wanxing had become a mess. The stone shelves and wooden boxes had long disappeared, and the golden utensils, gold coins, gold bars, etc. had all turned into broken fragments, and there was not a single intact one to be found.
Of course, if you collect all the debris and gold sand on the ground, the total amount of gold will still be the same.
So theoretically speaking, Wanxing's income has not decreased, so he can naturally sit back and relax.
If it was the kind of treasure that was easily destroyed, Wanxing would have taken action to stop it from self-destructing.
However, what surprised Wanxing was that the main BOSS of the floor did not take advantage of the chaos of the explosion to launch an attack.
Even the golden coffin where the boss was located seemed to be unaffected by the explosion, with no signs of damage on the surface.
It is worth mentioning that the shape of the golden coffin is not the common rectangular shape, but human-shaped.
The coffin's surface is covered in dazzling gold, hammered and polished with exquisite craftsmanship to a soft, dazzling sheen, as if reflecting the radiance of light that has lasted through the ages. Intricate patterns and symbols are carved into the gold, not merely decorative but symbolizing the pharaoh's form and eternal royal power. The coffin's edges are inlaid with a variety of gemstones, including emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and turquoise. These dazzling gems shimmer in the light of the fireball, adding an unparalleled sense of grandeur and sacredness to the coffin.
Seeing that the main BOSS of the floor did not come out, Wanxing directly attacked with a [Flame Shock].
Are you kidding? As steady as he is, how could he be so curious as to open the golden coffin?
What if you get ambushed after opening it? That would be a huge loss.
Moreover, this time he challenged the main boss of the floor differently from the previous times. He was only at the hero level, but he was trying to attack the 60th floor boss, which was already a very risky and radical behavior. Naturally, he had to be more cautious.
With a loud "boom", the golden coffin was blown away, hitting the wall at the edge of the space hard, and then fell to the ground with a "bang".
Time seemed to have frozen at this moment, and everything was immersed in dead silence.
The Pharaoh may have been awakened by the attack of the Ten Thousand Stars.
Or maybe it was because Wanxing didn't fall for it, so the Pharaoh couldn't continue to hide in the golden coffin and launch a sneak attack.
In short, after a moment of silence, an ominous vibration broke the awkward tranquility, as if some power deep underground was awakened.
The next moment, the golden coffin, which had survived multiple attacks unscathed, silently cracked a tiny gap. Then, the gap rapidly expanded, accompanied by a low and twisted sound of metal tearing.
Light overflowed from the coffin, a light that was a mixture of antiquity, decay and unknown power, which made people feel chilled.
As the golden coffin completely collapsed, a cold aura instantly spread, as if even the air was frozen.
In the black fog, a figure slowly sat up from the broken golden coffin.
In the vision of Wanxing, who possessed the power of identification, the figure's title, [Pharaoh], was displayed above its head.
The Pharaoh's eyes were closed, but his face was unusually vivid, as if he had only been sleeping for a long time and was not really dead.
But the moment he slowly opened his eyes, everything became completely different.
His eyes shone with a light not of this world, neither the fire of life nor the chill of death, but a strange light that transcended life and death, perceiving all things. A faint black mist surrounded his body, the condensation of his resentment and evil thoughts, which instilled fear in the hearts of people.
Even the murals in the passageway behind Team Ten Thousand Stars seemed to come alive at this moment. They twisted and distorted, emitting low wails that echoed the Pharaoh's awakening. The air was filled with despair and fear, as if the entire mausoleum was trembling, trying to escape the impending terror.
However, Wan Xing was not intimidated at all, and immediately launched a [Fire Spirit Sword Formation] as a starting point, and at the same time ordered: "Attack!"
Facing the giant flaming swords coming from the sky, the [Pharaoh] dodged calmly like a ghost, and each step was accompanied by a slight tremor in the ground, as if even the earth could not bear his weight.
It hasn't been hiding for a few seconds.
Xingyi's whole body was filled with dazzling starlight.
At the same time, a vast star map suddenly lit up from the dark summit outside the pyramid. Draco, Pegasus, Andromeda, and 88 other constellations suddenly illuminated, creating a mystical spectacle. This spectacular sight evoked the vastness of the universe and the endless stars.
The next moment, eighty-eight brilliant starlights shot down, piercing through the ghostly body of the Pharaoh and locking it tightly.
Facing various attacks and encirclements from Team Wanxing, the Pharaoh, who had just been calm and composed, now found himself sealed by the vast and endless starlight!
There was no need for Wanxing to say much. Seeing that the [Pharaoh] could no longer dodge, the team members tacitly released their unique skills and output with all their strength.
After all, the realm of [Pharaoh] is one level higher than that of the heroic Xing Yi, and [Star Sealing Technique] can only completely seal it for 1 minute.
Therefore, the limited output time cannot be wasted. If you wait until the seal is over and still fall short of killing the [Pharaoh], you will regret it to death.
In order to avoid being poisoned, all members of the team stayed within the light shield of [Earth Guardian] and carried out long-range attacks.
Sylphy, who was already at the Brilliant level, launched an attack with great momentum.
The [Poseidon Pearl] in her hand flashed with blue light, and the Poseidon domain was activated first. The originally dry internal space of the pyramid was suddenly flooded with endless heavy water, which quickly flooded and filled the entire space.
Only the light shield of [Earth Guardian] was not submerged in water.
Then Sylphy swung the [Trident of Poseidon] in his hand, and it swept over with surging waves and undercurrents, and the entire heavy water area was under its control.
At the same time, countless green waves grew out and began to entangle and strangle the Pharaoh.
This is the brilliant-level water magic [Controlling Water and Green Waves]. With the amplification of the heavy water field, its power is even greater.
In an instant, the Pharaoh's body was covered with dense wounds.
Although the wounds of the injured [Pharaoh] would automatically spew out poisonous clouds, corroding and breaking the green bands, the speed at which new green bands would be generated was still faster. If a hundred bands were corroded, a thousand green bands would re-grow.
The sealed [Pharaoh] had no way to fight back and could only passively spray poisonous clouds.
Chapter 154: [Parallel Calculation]
The poisonous cloud that can corrode the brilliant-level water magic [Water Control Blue Waves] is powerless against the starlight of [Star Sealing Technique].
From this we can see how powerful the bloodline magic inherited by Star Dragon Augustus, one of the three dragon kings of the dragon clan, is!
In addition to Sylphy, Loelle, Devilia, Claires, and Norlandi also used their own long-range attack methods. Each blow made the defenseless [Pharaoh] look shattered and his body spewed out astonishing poison gas.
After finally enduring the one-minute seal, the [Pharaoh] suddenly swelled up like a balloon.
This drum was extraordinary. It increased tenfold from its original size of about ten feet, becoming even more terrifying.
At the same time, the [Starlight Spears] that fell from the sky intertwined into a dense light net in the air. Each beam of light contained destructive energy, and they hit the [Pharaoh] with incredible precision and speed.
There was an extremely dazzling light and a deafening roar.
“Swish—boom!”
The entire space was twisted and torn apart by this huge energy.
Before the Pharaoh, who had escaped from the trap, could show his might, he exploded with a "bang", and a sky full of poisonous saliva sprayed towards the Wanxing team.
"呲呲呲..."
The venom stained the khaki light shield of [Earth Guardian], making obvious corrosion and burning sounds, and trying to continuously penetrate into the interior.
The toxicity is obviously extremely terrifying. If an ordinary person gets touched by even a drop of it, he will probably die instantly.
Fortunately, [Earth Guardian] is not as fragile as an ordinary magic shield. It can transfer the attacks received to the ground beneath its feet.
Unless Wanxing's feet are knocked off the ground, [Earth Guardian] will become ineffective and unable to divert the attack.
Otherwise, as long as the attack is not of the earth-shattering level, [Guardian of the Earth] can take it.
"What a terrifying Pharaoh! His blood is so poisonous! If he were to unleash his full power, he'd be incredibly difficult to deal with!"
Wanxing looked at the stubborn venom on the khaki light shield and murmured.
Wow!
Just as Wanxing was sighing with emotion, the pyramid, after such a brutal battle, finally could no longer bear it and collapsed - first it was squeezed by the expansion of the heavy water field, then it was pierced through the top by the [Starlight Spear] that fell from the sky, and finally, even the foundation was corroded by the [Pharaoh] venom transferred from the [Guardian of the Earth].
It would be strange if it didn't collapse. The fact that it could hold out until the Wanxing team defeated the BOSS means that the structure of this pyramid is solid and there was no cutting of corners.
A huge amount of rubble buried the Wanxing team, and not even a trace of their figures could be seen.
A moment later, the ruins began to shake violently. Wanxing grew to the size of a Titan and stood up, knocking away all the pyramid ruins that were pressing on him.
Then he spread out his cupped hands, and the girls in the team were still safe and sound, without even a trace of damage to their skin.
"Xingxing, you are so nice!"
