548 Trap
~.-~ Grom, who was tall and long, stepped into the door of the showroom, and a harsh noise suddenly rang in everyone's ears!
It was as if an invisible fist was hit hard on the eardrum, and everyone screamed while covering their ears!
“Noise Trap!”
Wutong covered her ears and screamed, but no sound came out, or his voice was directly suppressed by the noise!
In desperation, Wutong released several [Silent Techniques] in succession but failed. With his high [focus] attributes, he could not release spells in such an environment. He could only endure the dizziness and nausea and wanted to vomit. He quickly took out a [Silent Technique] scroll from the dimensional bag and tore it away!
As the scroll of [Silence Technique] was torn apart, a dim force field surrounded everyone, and suddenly entered the extremely quiet environment from the extremely noisy environment. Everyone was unable to adapt, as if the terrible noise was still echoing in their ears... In fact, the sound only existed in everyone's memory.
After trying it, Wutong found that everyone was already in a state of [deafness] and could not hear anything in a short period of time. Fortunately, as a mage, he often does not need to express his meaning through words, not to mention that Wutong also has a pseudo-dragon demon pet with [telepathy] ability.
Through Schneider's turn, Wutong calmed down everyone who was still covering their ears and opening their mouths to howl. Anyway, no matter how they screamed, no matter how they called, they wouldn't be heard.
Although the spell blocked the terrible noise, it does not mean that it is eliminated. If the noise source is not found and eliminated before the effect of the low-level silence disappears, they will have to endure another terrible noise that directly affects the soul.
The most important thing is that Wutong cannot determine whether this noise trap, which also serves as a warning, will attract any terrible guards or activate any chain mechanism.
In this showroom, the ground was covered with thick dust, which was several inches deep. If you step on it, you can stomp out a small mushroom cloud. In the showroom, which is not very large, there is a closet recessed into the rock wall on all four walls. A fist-sized crystal ball is inlaid in the center of the closet.
Three of the crystal balls were already dull and looked like they had lost their function because they were too long. But on the wall facing the showroom door, the crystal ball in the closet still flashed with a soft light blue light, but obviously, its function was far less gentle than its appearance!
Although it is not heard, Wutong's other perception abilities clearly feel it. The terrible noise source comes from this crystal ball. It is emitting a small vibration of high frequency. The sound source caused by this vibration even makes the dust on the ground dance.
A layer of dust several inches dancing. This made the ground look like a turbulent water surface. The most terrifying thing was that with the vibration, the fluffy and delicate dust was expanding, becoming thick and loose, just like a piece of dough that was expanding in the fermentation. When they first stepped into the showroom, the dust was only submerged at their ankles, but in just a few seconds, the dust layer had already submerged at their waists!
This is obviously not the original function of this arcane trap, it is just a little additional function added to it... No one will put a warning noise trap in his room and lay a thick layer of dust on the ground!
What’s amazing is that the combination of dust and noise traps makes the originally harmless dust fatal: once the dust submerges them, what awaits them will be suffocation!
In the environment of Silence, even Wutong has no way to cast spells. Release the language part of the spell, which is of the nature of the speech spirit. It is necessary to guide the magical energy of the spell to change and effect through the syllable vibration of the secret spell!
Just when Wutong realized this, the dust had "drown" his neck. In desperation, Wutong could only order Salas: "Release the wind-making technique!"
Shara's wind creation technique is a racial innate ability and does not require chanting. Just as Wutong issued an order, the wind wall formed by the wind was not strong, but it blew up from behind Wutong with a wide coverage. Although it stirred up a layer of dust that had already overflowed from the showroom, it blocked a large amount of dust that was flowing out of the showroom like smoke, and closed the large amount of dust in the room like an invisible door.
This is not a wind creation technique, but a wind control technique. It is obvious that Shara's understanding of the wind made her not follow Wutong's wrong orders... What is more terrifying than a gust of wind when there is dust everywhere? So Shara chose a softer way to block the door of the showroom with the wind wall.
The raised dust caused everyone to cough violently, silently, but at least it was not fatal.
The wind wall can block dust, but it cannot block noise. Wutong's Silent Scroll was also a product he made when he was practicing [Transcription Scroll] on the Trial Island. The success rate of [Transcription Scroll] was not high, and the skill level was too low, so the level of the Silent Scroll sealed in the Scroll was less than there. The "silent force field" that protected them could not last long, but Wutong was unable to cast spells now, releasing his current higher level of Silent Scroll.
Moreover, even without a silent force field, he was coughing violently and could not read a complete secret spell. Wutong discovered for the first time that the combination of noise traps and dust was so terrible!
If this continues, once the silent force field disappears, they will be attacked by the terrible sound again... Wutong would rather poke himself deaf than hear the terrible sound. If he hadn't reacted quickly, everyone would probably have escaped from the terrible noise and stepped on some trap.
Wutong couldn't find a solution to these dust for a moment. The overflowing dust had spread too far in the passage. At their speed, there was no way to run out of the noise attack range in a short period of time.
Moreover, the noise trap itself is not killing. Its function is just to drive away creatures that attempt to get close to its area. The purpose is to make you run away... Who can confirm that the noise is heard, and the place where the trap has been cleared by the wanderers will not appear again?
With such a simple principle, even the early-level wizard, Wutong did not believe that those who set this trap would not understand it. At this time, he turned around and escaped from this area, and instead sent himself to the fastest way to die.
While warning his companions to resist the idea of escaping, Wutong anxiously racked his brains and looked around. However, he unexpectedly saw Wuxian taking out a water bag because of coughing and pouring water into his throat, cleaning the dust attached to his respiratory tract, making his throat itchy, and a flash of inspiration flashed. Wutong almost coughed out his lungs, while taking out a water bag from the dimensional bag, unscrewed the plug and conveyed his thoughts to Sharasi with his mind: "Water! Ash! Wind!"
He was about to ejaculate with his eyes so much that he couldn't organize words that could express his meaning more easily. Fortunately, Sharasi, who was in the same mood as Wutong, immediately understood what he meant. As Wutong squeezed the water bag hard, a water arrow shot out, and a whirlwind wrapped the clear water in, spinning wildly!
"Water! More water!"
Wutong gestured while dancing and taking out more water bags and threw them to her friends' feet, indicating that they would also pour out the water from the water bags with them!
This kind of sheepskin water bag used to carry clear water during adventure travel is sewn from a whole lamb's skin. Each can hold fifty gallons of water inside. It has a large capacity, zero load-bearing space. It is enough to make most players confused in the preparation of logistics supplies. In order to ensure that there is enough water for accidents, when two priests in the team can create water techniques, he still carries a lot of sheepskin water bags like this!
The so-called "unexpected situation" refers to the present. As soon as Wutong threw out the water bag, everyone understood what he meant, but the actions of the Barbarians were much more violent than Wutong. They picked up a water bag and violently tear them open it, allowing the clear water inside to pour out!
However, before the clear water poured out of the skin fell to the ground, it was already swept up by the wind controlled by Sharas and continuously sent into the wind wall that sealed the door. Everyone watched helplessly as a small tornado carrying a lot of water mist, like a vacuum cleaner, quickly absorbing the dust in the showroom, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a conch-shaped "mud bucket"!
Seeing that the method was effective, Wutong, who was overjoyed, released a pile of oak barrels half a person tall from the dimension bag, and didn't care whether it was ale or other liquid inside. The barbarians swung their axes and smashed the lid open. Under Sala's control, the liquid in the oak barrel rose like a water dragon and joined the "cleaning" work!
The time for the Silence Technique was too long. Wutong saw that there was not much dust in the showroom. He reached out to the crystal ball embedded in the wall of the showroom. Infinite and Hammer immediately followed Wutong with breath and rushed in. The others rushed in in a hurry, not even caring whether they would step on the trap... It would be impossible not to follow. If they left the range of the Silence Technique effect next to Wutong, they would be bombarded by noise.
The two wanderers were busy fiddling, but they could not pull the crystal ball off the wall. Grom, who was standing beside him, reached out and pulled the two thin wanderers to the side, swung his axe and smashed the crystal ball hard!
Everyone was shocked by his reckless behavior. Can the Austral artifacts be smashed at will? What should I do if it explodes?
However, the hardness of the crystal ball exceeded their imagination. Under Grom's violent chopping, the crystal ball was not damaged at all. Instead, the wall inlaid with it was directly cracked. The crystal ball rolled down from the broken wall and jumped on the ground to the corner.
The scene looked a bit funny, but everyone was so busy that they finally grabbed the crystal ball and handed it to Wutong. After taking the crystal ball, Wutong breathed a sigh of relief. While opening the dimensional bag, he planned to throw it in and close it first, and subconsciously said: "Shh~ It's okay..."
But as soon as they said that, everyone was stunned because although they were already in a state of deafness, the environment where they could hear sounds and could not hear sounds were completely different. The effect of the Silence Technique is to completely isolate the transmission of sounds in the air. All sounds will not even be vibrated within the range of the Silence Technique’s effect!
Everyone understands the principle of how sound is transmitted in the air. So everyone who felt the vibration caused by Wutong's speech immediately reacted. The effect of the silence technique had just disappeared, but they did not hear the crystal ball continue to make noise!
After scrubbing his ears, the Dwarf Invincible Hammer said something, but everyone stared at him, and no one heard what he said. How loud the dwarf's voice was. Everyone knew very well, but no one heard the sound, which meant that they were all deaf!!!
Everyone was so sweating! The adventure was just beginning, and everyone was collectively deaf!
Fortunately, deafness is not considered a terminal illness in the world of "Endless"... After all, it is not strange to regenerate broken limbs and resurrection in place, and repairing the eardrum is too simple.
Druid Jat Teng Ying and Ling Yueshuangxue checked for everyone, shook their heads, indicating that their healing ability cannot cure everyone's deafness for the time being. They can only wait until they go back to find a high-level priest to recover.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. They couldn't help but grin. Now they became a group of "deaf swordsmen". Although deafness does not affect their actions, it has a great impact on perception and judgment. In this extremely dangerous dungeon of the Earth Spirit Hall, this undoubtedly brought them greater danger... Even if the monster roared and rushed behind them, they couldn't hear it!
It is definitely not possible to return interrupted tasks. I can only be more careful and pay attention to the surrounding environment at any time.
When Jatengying and Lingyue Shuangxue were checking for everyone, Wutong began to study the crystal ball. This crystal ball seemed to be just a part of the noise trap. After leaving the rune array engraved on the wall, it lost its function, but in Wutong's hands, it did not lose its light, and still flashed with a light blue soft light.
If you look closely, you can see mysterious runes on the surface of the crystal ball that are slowly moving with the change of light. If you adjust the angle, you can even reflect shadows on the wall next to you... It's like a projection device!
However, Wutong cannot interpret the meaning of these mysterious runes for the time being, so she can only put them away first, take them back and study them slowly.
Just when everyone was not paying attention, the huge body of the two-headed troll wizard's three-day life suddenly took three steps back and fell down with a loud bang. There were dozens of iron arrows in front of him!
When everyone looked up in shock, they saw Infinite and Hammer standing in front of a pedal with awkward face. As soon as they lifted the noise trap, they began to perform their responsibilities as wanderers and began to search for any other traps in this showroom.
Their abilities are still worthy of praise. Sure enough, under the opposite wall, a pedal that would trigger a trap was found under the crystal ball that had lost its light. But as soon as they started to disassemble it, I don’t know what was wrong, or the mechanism had been going through too long, and there was a problem. As soon as my hand touched the mechanism, it was touched and fired.
The unlucky big wizard was standing right in front of the bow and arrow trap for three days. The thirty-six iron arrows shot from the mechanism hit his chest and abdomen without wasting. Fortunately, he stood behind everyone, and the two-headed troll with a wide and thick body directly carried all the iron arrows for everyone!
Everyone was shocked and ran over to take a look. Well, the two-headed troll looked like a porcupine. It felt like they were dead and could not die anymore. But everyone was about to die in silence for him. This guy suddenly sat up like a corpse. He opened his eyes and suddenly scared everyone. Wutong almost sat on the ground. This was too scary. OK!
The two-headed trolled angrily at the two wanderers, and pulled out the arrows from their stomachs one by one. The scene was so terrifying.
For safety reasons, everyone exited the showroom and left the wanderers inside, and waited for them to confirm that all the traps were lifted before entering. Not everyone was as thug as a troll wizard.
Confirm that there was no danger, Wutong leaned over and observed the three crystal balls on the wall. They were embedded in the core of a rune magic array on the wall. It seemed to be the hub that drives the rune magic array. Each rune magic array was different, and the effects it should have were different. With the idea of missing out and not letting go, Wutong used transcription techniques to copy them. Unfortunately, the noise trap had been destroyed by the orc war. So he simply did it and asked him to help chisel the remaining three from the wall.
The shelves in the showroom were instantly shattered and turned into dust as the noise trap sounded. Shara's wind creation technique and clear water to remove the dust, but nothing left on the ground. It seems that the items originally placed on these shelves were either plundered by the barbarians of the North, or they turned into dust for a long time. They worked in vain and finally only obtained four crystal balls and three replicas of the rune magic array.
However, half of the cigarette in the substitute team took all the iron arrows pulled out of the troll wizard's belly, and at least it was exquisite arrows made of fine iron, so it cost hundreds of gold coins to buy them.
