Chapter 109: A Crystal Treasure Chest or a Diamond Treasure Chest?

“There’s palm prints on the front?”
Klein immediately understood.
“Try it on!”
He put one on his left and right hands.
The casting gloves stuck tightly to his skin. It didn’t look like he was wearing gloves, but a layer of skin!
He took out the Lightning Crossbow.
When he held it, it was almost the same as if he wasn’t wearing gloves.
“It won’t slip? Didn’t they say it would be as smooth as silk?”
“That’s good too. If it slips, it’ll affect my ability to operate the weapon.”
Klein experienced it for a moment before walking out of the runic base.
Next, he had to test the power of the two charm spells.
First, he had to test the elemental missiles!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One fire elemental missile after another landed on the sand.
Each one was like a small bomb.
The resulting crater was five times more than the one created by the spell-casting gloves.
“Alright, this improvement is too obvious.”
Klein switched to another few elemental missiles.
All of them had improved.
Casting time, flying speed, explosive power...
Increased by five times.
The power far exceeded the Lightning Crossbow and Firestorm Saber he had.
“Let’s try the Flash Spell again.”
Klein suddenly spread his fingers forward.
A ball of white light burst out from his palm.
The brightness was also increased by four to five times!
“A Flash Spell of this level could probably blind a person. If it was a crypt creature, it could at least create a two to three seconds stun effect.”
“Two to three seconds...”
“That’s long enough! It can establish the winning momentum in a battle.”
Klein tried another opportunity, and he was particularly satisfied with the performance of the gloves.
Before returning to the base, Klein planned to determine the direction of the next catacomb.
He knew the furthest point on the medium-sized map.
He checked the remaining five directions one after another.
[Continue digging forward. There’s nothing there.]
[Dig up. There’s a wind blade blowing here. It’ll easily cut through your skin. If you want to drink the northwest wind, go up.]
[Dig down. There’s a Silver Treasure Chest. There’s no danger. It’s easy to obtain.]
[In the catacomb on the left, send the tribes of the Sand Trolls into the catacombs and kill them with a big stick.]
[In the catacomb on the right, there’s a Crystal Treasure Chest. There’s an Echo Monster lingering nearby. If you hear it calling your name, don’t respond! Don’t respond! Don’t respond!]
Klein was stunned when he saw the notification on the right catacomb.
A crystal treasure chest?
He had never opened one before.
Could it be that the crystal treasure chest was a level higher than the gold treasure chest?
Klein had originally guessed that it would be a diamond treasure chest.
If it was a crystal treasure chest, it was also possible.
“If it’s a level higher, then I have to get it. What the hell is this Echo Monster?”
“Three consecutive hints of, ‘don’t respond’. Are you saying something important three times?”
Why? Of course, it was to open the illustrated handbook and Search.
The result was out.
...
[Echo Monster: A terrifying monster that roams the catacombs. They have countless forms. When they appear behind any creature, they will call out to the other party. Once they respond, they will fall into an echo illusion. If you are lucky, you can walk out of the illusion in a second. If you are unlucky, you will be trapped for a lifetime. Don’t try to find their figures, because they will only be in an invisible place.]
[Ability: Echo Illusion]
[Weakness: Ineffective against hearing-impaired people.]
[Danger Factor: 72]
..
Check the ability.
[Echo Illusion: Summons the target. If the target responds, the target will fall into the illusion. If the target doesn’t respond, the ability will lose its effect.]
...
The image of the Echo Monster kept changing.
In just a few seconds, Klein had already seen more than a dozen forms.
They were like ghosts or corpses.
After Klein browsed through the information, he frowned.
‘Even the Flash Spell can’t dispel it?’
He thought of the characteristics of the Flash Spell.
The hint indeed only asked him not to respond.
To a large extent, Klein didn’t have the ability to deal with the Echo Monster at the moment.
“Danger Factor 72?”
“It’s not as high as a Gargoyle, but that doesn’t mean it’s not powerful.”
“The Echo Monster’s weakness is more obvious. It’s fine as long as I don’t respond. Therefore, the danger factor might increase by a lot.”
“Before heading to the next catacomb, Little Fox and Little Wind need targeted training.”
“They can’t respond the moment they hear the Echo Monster’s call.”
Klein returned to the base.
He called Little Fox and Little Wind in front of him.
He repeated the instructions several times.
Then, he began to simulate the scene.
Klein would act as the Echo Monster to test the two little fellows.
He would also take the opportunity to rest and recover his soul power.
“Little Fox.”
Klein stood behind Little Fox, acting sneakily like a ghost.
Little Fox lowered her eyelids and continued walking forward with her head lowered.
“Little Wind.”
Klein stood behind Little Wind, acting sneakily like a ghost.
Little Wind lowered his eyelids and continued walking forward with his head lowered.
“Little Wind.”
Klein called out to Little Wind again.
Little Wind was eating, but there was no response.
Klein smiled and said, “Both of you have performed well. You can turn back now.”
Klein had just been doing a simulation of the Echo Monster.
The two little fellows were already able to ensure that they wouldn’t respond in the simulation, forming their instincts.
Little Fox and Little Wind still didn’t respond.
Klein couldn’t help but laugh. He walked in front of them and made a special gesture as he said.
“Alright, the simulation is over. There’s no deception this time.”
After seeing the gesture and hearing that the simulation was over, Little Fox and Little Wind finally paid attention to Klein and gave him a great expression.
Klein smiled and said, “Sure, you’re more outstanding than I expected.”
Klein had previously made it a rule that they were only allowed to respond when the simulation was over.
In the past few times, Klein had made mistakes or pretended that the simulation was over. He had swindled them a few times, and now, they were immune to it!
