Chapter 97 - Obtain A Perfect Runic Hand Shield!
They had no way of obtaining honey from the runic beehive.
When the runic beehive stopped functioning, it would seal the entrance and exit, and the Sand Bees that were squeezed inside would be blown out.
[System notification: Honey+3072 ml]
When Klein took out all the honey, he was shocked.
He had only harvested 148 ml of honey yesterday, and this was nearly 20 times the amount.
The tedious tasks were done.
They set off for the next catacomb.
At this moment, Klein stood in front of an earthen wall as his gaze focused.
[There"s a pool in the catacomb behind us. There"s an unexpected surprise beneath it. If you obtain it, you will undergo a metamorphosis, or you might be dragged into the water by the evil Radiant Pond Water Monster.]
Thankfully, the pa.s.sageway hadn"t changed.
From the looks of it, the lost charm bloodline was under the pool.
"There"s still the Radiant Pond Water Monster guarding it. It won"t be easy."
Klein followed the usual practice and first checked the ill.u.s.trated handbook of the Radiant Pond Water Monster.
There was no such monster!
"Alright, the incomplete ill.u.s.trated handbook doesn"t include the Radiant Pond Water Monster. This will make things even more difficult."
Klein still chose to go to the catacomb at the back.
Since the hint only told him to be careful, it meant that he could fight the Radiant Pond Water Monster himself.
Or perhaps, as long as he didn"t get close to the pond, the Radiant Pond Water Monster would definitely not be able to deal with him.
"As long as I empty the water or bury it, I don"t believe that I won"t be able to get anything. I hope the pond isn"t too deep."
Klein"s heart skipped a beat. He had already thought of an extreme solution.
Diving?
That was impossible.
When he was underwater, his equipment had the effect of myopia. Even his Firestorm Saber had to be mute.
His fire ability wouldn"t be able to be released underwater at all.
Only a fool would use his weakness to touch the enemy"s strength.
Klein thought for a moment before saying, "Make a hand shield before setting off. It might be able to play a defensive role."
Klein opened the creation list.
He selected a hand shield.
[Perfect Runic Hand Shield: Wind Rune 5/8, Earth Rune 5/6, Iron 5/437, Copper 5/356, Silver 2/20]
Confirmed forging.
There was a small round shield in Klein"s hand.
It was about 15 centimeters in diameter.
The cylinder was silver-white in color.
There were black and blue patterns that outlined it.
The front of the shield was engraved with a pattern that symbolized the wind.
The back had a firm claw clasp.
The whole thing was light.
Klein placed the hand shield on his left forearm.
He imagined the enemy"s attack and blocked it with his left arm.
When he was in a defensive state, the hand shield would emit strong winds and form a temporary wind shield!
The color was earthy yellow, which might be related to the earth runes.
Overall, every time Klein used the Perfect Runic Hand Shield, it seemed to be enveloped by a semi-transparent dome-shaped shield.
"Little Fox, try to attack me."
Klein pushed aside a few of the shields and gave an order
"Wu, wu, wu!"
Little Fox reminded Klein to be careful before moving quickly.
It was the first time she attacked from the front.
Klein instinctively wanted to dodge, but he immediately thought of a hand shield and raised his left arm.
Whoosh!
His demeanor condensed.
Clang!
Little Fox"s sharp claws were blocked by the wind shield and was sent flying.
In addition, she constantly changed her direction to attack, and she would be sent flying every time.
Klein almost instinctively raised his left arm to block Little Fox"s attack.
After contacting it more than twenty times, Klein was finally able to do so.
This round of contact was mainly to form a conditioned reflex.
He didn"t want to lose focus and forget the advantage of a hand shield when he really encountered an enemy.
This defense is pretty good. If Little Fox were to use her full strength, it wouldn"t be so easy to break through.
Klein knew that Little Fox was afraid of hurting him, so she was restrained when she attacked.
"Let"s go to the next catacomb."
He took out the perfect shovel.
Huff, huff.
A fifty-meter-long tunnel.
Its efficiency was much faster than an ordinary shovel!
The sand was preserved well.
It might even be used to fill up the pool later.
A man and two beasts entered the black hole.
The fifty-second catacomb!
Klein sized up the entire catacomb.
It was sixty to seventy meters in length.
It was about thirty meters in height.
There were many plants that he had never seen before.
And they were growing quite well.
Klein"s gaze landed on the small pool in the middle.
When he got closer, he noticed that the pool wasn"t very big.
The pool was nearly circular.
It had a diameter of about three meters.
As for the depth, it couldn"t be seen with the naked eye.
However, it could be seen at the bottom of the pool.
Furthermore, at the center of the pool, there was a ball of liquid floating in the air. It gave off a faint l.u.s.ter and was very eye-catching.
"A lost charm bloodline."
Klein only took a glance and immediately averted his gaze.
There was no water monster below.
[The pool that was polluted by the Radiant Pond Water Monster cannot be drunk or touched. Be careful of the water monster at the shining pool. It is spying in the dark.]
The notification was bouncing.
Klein held the lightning crossbow in his left hand and the Firestorm Saber in his right.
He deliberately stood by the sh.o.r.e in an attempt to lure the Radiant Pond Water Monster to attack.
If he didn"t come out, Klein wouldn"t be able to deal with it. He couldn"t even find its location.
"Looks like I have to force it."
Klein thought of the Perfect Hand Shield and felt slightly relieved.
He put away the Firestorm Saber.
He took out the Perfect Shovel.
There were at least ten thousand liters of water in this pool.
It would be a little troublesome to empty it all.
It would be faster to divert the water elsewhere.
Klein first went to a large pit beside the pool.
Then, he dug a drainage channel between the pool and the pit!
Splash!
The water flowed downwards.
The water was quickly diverted into the large pit.
