Chapter 18: Retrieve Noah’s Gem
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
[Currently entering the Map: Cave of Death!]
The moment Lu Yuan entered, he received a system notification.
After seeing the system notification, Lu Yuan could not help but be delighted.
As expected, his memory had served him right.
This was the cave!
The most precious treasure of the novice village, Noah’s Gem, was in the deepest part of this cave.
According to the memories of his previous life, the gem was stolen by the blood demon race hiding in this cave.
There were blood demons patrolling everywhere in the cave.
Their levels were very high, and they could easily kill players at this stage instantly.
The most crucial and difficult part of this mission was that the cave limited entry to only players below Level 10.
Therefore, players could only use their wits or find powerful skills.
Another method was the thief’s Stealth.
In his previous life, a thief player had done it this way. He had accidentally barged into this cave and used the thief’s Stealth skill to successfully enter a place that looked like a worship hall in the deepest part of the cave.
Then, he easily retrieved Noah’s Gem.
As a result, the thief obtained a very powerful dagger. This was also the reason why the thief was able to become a legendary level expert as compared to his initial rookie state!
A large part of his success was related to the dagger he obtained through the completion of this mission.
This was not a secret because this was a sole hidden mission, after it had been completed once, no one could not do it again.
It wasn’t like the blood demons could take the gem again and put it back in their cave, right?
Therefore, the correct path that Lu Yuan should follow was to rely on the memories he had from his previous life and copy another’s homework to obtain Noah’s Gem.
Lu Yuan moved forward tentatively and suddenly saw three blood demons patrolling in front of him.
They looked like bats, but they did have a humanoid form. Their entire body was blood red with streaks of black and messy hair among the red. There was also a long fork in their hands.
It was obvious that they were not creatures to be trifled with.
[Blood Demon] (???)
[Level]: ???
[HP]: ???
[Skills]: ???
[Description]: A kind of demon that lives in the Cave of Death. Its methods are extremely cruel, and its cruel nature makes it so that it will attack any living creature that enters the Cave of Death.
Good Heavens! With Lu Yuan’s current level, only question marks would be revealed when he tried to check the attributes of the blood demon.
If he was hit once, he would definitely be instantly killed.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan had the skill [Shadow Following], which allowed him to become invisible.
[Legendary Skill: Shadow Following +2]
[Description]: Active skill, an extremely rare Divine skill among legendary thieves. Consumes 150 MP to enter Shadow State where attacks can be launched without being discovered. Under Shadow State, the player obtains 30% damage immunity. Lasts for 2 minutes, cooldown time: 25 minutes. (Note: cannot be upgraded)
At the current level of the skill, its duration was 2 minutes.
However, Lu Yuan had activated Klaus’ Blessing, allowing the effects of the next skill used to be doubled.
As such, he instantly obtained 60% damage immunity, and the duration of the skill became 4 minutes!
Lu Yuan turned into a shadow and disappeared into the void.
With 4 minutes of duration, Lu Yuan could operate freely.
This was enough for Lu Yuan who knew the route well!
Lu Yuan walked straight ahead.
When he passed by the three patrolling blood demons, as expected, they did not notice Lu Yuan.
It was as if he was air, and was unnoticeable.
Success!
Lu Yuan was delighted.
As expected of a legendary skill!
Lu Yuan could swagger forward.
In the Cave of Death, the air was filled with a very uncomfortable stench.
There was also a gloomy aura.
It was probably related to the living habits of the blood demons.
Along the walls of the cave, there were some torches and the like.
These torches were just enough to provide some light.
In the dim light, Lu Yuan could barely recognize the route.
“If I remember correctly, I should walk straight forward for a while before reaching an intersection.”
As Lu Yuan walked, he silently planned the route in his heart.
As there were only four minutes, he could not waste any time!
Otherwise, once his Stealth ended, he would be killed by the blood demons at any moment.
Soon, Lu Yuan arrived at the intersection.
At this intersection, several more blood demons were guarding it.
They looked very ferocious.
“After you see the intersection, take the left road, walk through two intersections, and then turn right.”
Lu Yuan thought to himself as he ran.
He used his fastest movement speed!
He took a left turn, walked through two intersections, and then headed right.
“I should see a blood demon statue later on, but not in this room. I need to enter the next floor.”
As expected, Lu Yuan soon arrived at a room with a blood demon statue.
A huge blood demon had been carved out and placed in the middle of the room.
However, he was temporarily clueless as to why the blood demons wanted this statue.
Two blood demons were guarding the entrance of the room, so the statue should be quite important.
That being said, once he entered the room, there were no blood demons.
Lu Yuan quickly arrived at the back of the huge statue in the room.
“The back of the statue can be opened. After opening it, there will be a passageway that leads to the next floor!”
Then, Lu Yuan really did find a mechanism behind the statue and he pressed it gently.
“Ka-cha-cha-cha!”
Behind the statue, the ground began to shake slightly. The stone slab was opened and a flight of stairs appeared that led to the next floor.
Fortunately, the noise was not very loud and it did not alarm the two blood demon guards outside.
Otherwise, they would definitely come over to see what was going on.
At that time, Lu Yuan’s plan might be ruined.
Lu Yuan followed the stairs that had appeared and walked down.
As he walked down, Lu Yuan found that there was a bright light emitting from the bottom.
Waves of bright light came from below.
“This should be related to Noah’s Gem,” Lu Yuan guessed in his heart.
As expected, when he reached the bottom, he saw a sacrificial altar.
The sacrificial altar was in the form of an extremely exaggerated blood demon.
It was completely different from what he had seen just now. One look and he could tell that it was the God of the Blood Demons.
However, Lu Yuan could not care less about such things.
Instead, he focused his attention on Noah’s Gem which was on the altar.
Most of the light around was emitted by Noah’s Gem.
The light from the torches around was not as intense as the light emitted by Noah’s Gem.
It was like a luminous gem. It emitted a gentle, bright, and faint yellow light, which was pleasing to the eye.
“Yes! This is it!”
