Alchemy products such as flat bottles of strong acid are collectively referred to as magic consumables. Although they are expensive, they are also commonly used materials by adventurers.

Because some monsters can reduce physical damage, or even cannot be killed by physical damage at all, and not every team has spellcasters, then the 'attribute damage' provided by magic consumables is needed.

If a flat bottle of strong acid is smashed on the ground, it will form a large pool of strong acid. Any creature passing through it will be harmed by the corrosive liquid. If a group of goblins rush towards it, this will be enough to make them turn around and run away.

However, basilisks have rough skin and thick flesh, and their claws can easily penetrate earth and rocks to dig. Even strong acid cannot take effect immediately. They ran over without being affected by almost anything.

Peri Renli saw that the flat bottles of strong acid were of no use, so he took out two bottles of red test tubes and asked Von Dahl and Gary to throw them out.

What is thrown out this time is called blazing glue, which will ignite into flames once it comes into contact with the air.

So when the two test tubes were thrown out, the oil-like red liquid quickly spread on the floor and turned the area into a sea of ​​​​fire.

It is instinct for animals to be afraid of fire, and the basilisk was indeed frightened. Through the flames, you can see that the basilisk at the front braked suddenly, and its eight feet began to slip because of a lot of strong acid.

But this is not one or two basilisks, but a group of probably about 20. The basilisk in front wanted to stop, but the basilisk behind had no time to stop, and forcefully pushed the leading basilisk into the burning fire glue.

within the range.

Due to its instinct to fear fire, the basilisk immediately panicked when it was surrounded by flames and rushed forward on its eight legs again.

Unless it hits the basilisk directly, simple burning will not be considered harm to the basilisk protected by its thick skin. With some traces of being blackened, a basilisk rushed out of the flames first.

However, this distance is within the range of the spell.

Pei Renli, who had been prepared for a long time, left the last rune in the air, and then the magic power took shape in his palm:

"Grease Technique!"

The basilisk that had just burst out of the fiery glue was still in fear of the flames, and then felt the friction on the soles of its feet being taken away...

The Grease spell has a large range and can generate a large area of ​​magical grease in a designated area. Any creature that steps on it will slip or simply fall down.

The already panicked group stepped on the Greasy Technique again, and the eight legs of the Basilisk spread apart, lying directly on the ground, and slid towards them under the influence of inertia.

"Shield Bash!"

Gary saw the right moment, closed his eyes on purpose, and hit the basilisk's head hard with the kite shield in his hand.

A powerful blow knocked the petrified lizard dizzy. Before it could remember its innate ability of petrifying gaze, Vondar next to him smashed a hammer on its neck.

The spiked hammer pierced the basilisk's scales, leaving several bloody holes in it. Vondar gave full play to the dwarf's strength, one after another, and soon he smashed the basilisk's neck until the flesh was bloody.

It may be that the cervical vertebrae and aorta were damaged, and a large amount of blood pooled into a small puddle. The basilisk lying on the ground twitched twice and stopped moving.

Apart from the most disgusting petrification ability, the Basilisk itself is not difficult to deal with.

And this basilisk stepped on the blazing glue, and part of the explosive liquid on its toes also ignited the magic grease of the grease spell.

--call!

A strong wind sounded, and the flames suddenly shot up to a height of two to three meters, forming a wall of fire that was far hotter than fire glue, which should be able to temporarily block other basilisk lizards.

However, the grease spell is not specifically used to set fire. The magic grease burns too fast and can only burn for a few seconds at most.

"It's open, come in quickly!"

At the critical moment, Alton did not disappoint. He pulled off the secret lock that had been opened. In this emergency situation, there was no time to detect whether there was a trap or the like behind the door, and he hurriedly pushed open the pure steel door.

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed and poured in one after another.

Gary, who was the last one to come in, threw away his shield and held the steel door with both hands together with Von Dahl. The next moment, he saw the door suddenly bulged, as if something was hitting it. The force was so strong that Von Dahl and Guy almost died.

Rui knocked away.

Pei Renli was about to give them the power of a bull, when he glanced around and saw a movable door bolt behind the door, so he quickly went over and locked the door bolt.

The four people with their hands free stared at the constantly shaking door. If this thing couldn't hold it, they would have to use the narrow environment to fight the basilisk.

The banging of the door lasted for almost a minute, and finally began to become slightly lighter, and then completely silent. The unique footsteps of eight feet came from under the door and seemed to be fading away.

The tense nerves of the four people finally relaxed and they all sat down on the ground.

Damn, it feels a bit too exciting...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

During the period of the tyrannical Demon King, adventurers were the main force against him, but even without the Demon King, adventurers still existed. It can be said that fighting against the tyrannical Demon King was a duty given later, and their original mission was not this.

Destroy monsters, visit ruins, travel across the entire plane to find unexplored secrets, and more.

These adventurers live with death all day long. The excitement that Pei Renli and his friends experienced is the norm among adventurers. It is no wonder that this job is equivalent to having your head in your belt.

However, while it is dangerous, the pay is also quite high. As long as the money is available, there are people who can do any dangerous job.

Anyway, if you go out now, you may still meet the basilisk that hasn't gone far, so why not do some paid work first.

After taking a short rest, everyone turned to look at the room they entered.

The area is about forty to fifty square meters, not too big. There are rows of almost identical desks and chairs placed close to the surrounding walls. Apart from that, there is nothing else. It feels like a public office.

The magic lamp in the room has been completely broken, and now it mainly relies on the light spell for illumination. After everyone glanced at it, they all looked at Pei Renli.

The latter took out a folder from his backpack and a square piece of paper, placed the magic circle drawn in advance in the center of the room, pressed his hands on both sides of the paper, and slowly injected magic into it.

About ten seconds later, a silver ball of light floated up from the magic circle, and the magic circle disappeared from the paper as if it had faded.

As Pei Renli stretched out his hand and touched the light ball, the silver ball exploded immediately, and a layer of light mist spread in all directions like a shock wave, and outlined the surface of every object encountered on the way.

Different from the 'identify magic item' used before to prepare the flat bottle of strong acid, this time the 'detection magic' is used.

This method is called ritual spell. The advantage is that the magic power consumed is very low and almost negligible. However, not all spells can be used in this way, and it is simply too late in battle.

Detect Magic can sweep out all objects containing magical power within the range. In addition to quickly determining where high-value magic items are, it can also be used to check whether there are magic traps.

After all, even the best rogues are powerless against magic traps and can only rely on detection magic to sweep them out.

After waiting for the spell to fully take effect, Pei Renli said:

"Well, no traces of magic were found."

This is good news and bad news.

The good thing is that there are no magic traps, but the bad thing is that they are unlikely to find high-value loot here.

After confirming that there was no danger, everyone immediately started searching...I mean exploring.

Every drawer, every cabinet that can be opened, and even every gap between furniture must be carefully observed to make sure there is nothing of value.

but…..

Although everyone is exploring very vigorously, their luck may not be good.

Judging from the furnishings, this is an office, not a research room, and it has been confirmed that there are no magic items. It is probably impossible to find any useful information by taking the next step.

Pei Renli opened the drawer closest to him. There were several dusty documents in it. When he took it out, he found that most of them were reports on how much he had spent this month, how much funds and materials he needed to apply for, etc. It didn't seem like much.

use.

The worst result is that they spent a long time and ended up in vain, which is not uncommon among adventurers.

Of course, whether you can accept it psychologically is another question.

Turning his head, Pei Renli saw the full-length mirror placed next to the writing desk.

This thing seems to be embedded in the wall, and it is also covered with a layer of dust.

It wasn't something worth noting at first, but because of the close distance, Pei Renli, who had a ball of light on his head, saw that the mirror seemed...

A little translucent?

With a thought in his heart, Pei Renli stretched out his hand to wipe off the dust and gently pressed his fingers on the mirror.

"It's true!"

"That's true. Did you find the loot?"

Looking back, the other three people were attracted. It seemed that they didn't find anything useful, which made everyone scratch their heads.

"This is a magic mirror."

"What is that? A magic item?"

"It has nothing to do with magic, it's just a one-way mirror."

Seeing that they still didn't understand, Pei Renli had no choice but to give up explaining and pointed to the mirror:

"Anyway, just smash it. I found something should be hidden behind it."

There is a very simple way to distinguish a one-way mirror from a normal mirror. Put your finger on the mirror. Under normal circumstances, you will see that there is a little distance between your finger and the image in the mirror. If it is a one-way mirror, then

The finger overlaps the image in the mirror.

Perrenli knew this because when he was a child, he had a toy that used the same principle. On the surface, it was a mirror with a handle. Once the switch was pressed, the light hidden on the back of the mirror would light up and display

pattern.

Most of them are cartoon patterns, and occasionally there are some scary ones, specially designed to scare people.

The principle was not clear and did not prevent everyone from taking action. Von Dahl hit it twice with a hammer, and the mirror immediately shattered into pieces, revealing an elongated oval-shaped hole in the back.

In terms of size, it can barely accommodate one person to enter, but the entrance is not deep, and you can see the bottom with a light spell.

Everyone came closer and saw a strange machine placed on a slide rail inside. From Pei Renli's perspective, it looked a bit like a camera, and they could even see a round 'lens'.
