Chapter 160: Guessing the Skill Scroll!

"Hello, we want to visit the Ice Dungeon."

"No, the Ice Dungeon is heavily guarded, no strangers allowed."

"I am Mountain Ghost."

"Please come in."

Jiang Chen, "…"

Ye Qiu, "…"

Look, this is what we call treating differently!

Thanks to Mountain Ghost’s favorability rating, Ye Qiu and others successfully entered the Ice Dungeon.

And quickly arrived at the level of the Death Energy Wand.

"Not… seen?"

Jiang Chen frowned as he looked around the empty ice prison, "There are no signs of damage to the ice prison, nor any bodies…"

"How did he manage to escape?"

Ye Qiu slowly crouched down in the empty ice prison and spotted a strand of short hair on the ground.

"This doesn’t look like human hair."

Ye Qiu looked towards the door of the ice prison again, noticing a few strands of the same short hair in the crevices.

Jiang Chen picked up a tuft of hair and sniffed it, "It has a fishy smell, it’s animal hair."

Ye Qiu twitched his mouth, "It’s impressive that you went out of your way to smell it, this should be hair from a mammal."

The Mountain Ghost scratched his head, looking at the short hair in front of him. "It looks a bit like my cat’s fur."

Jiang Chen sighed, "Looks like this trip was in vain."

Ye Qiu gently rubbed the hair at the sound of the words, "It’s not entirely in vain, though."

Through this strand of hair, a guess gradually formed in Ye Qiu’s mind.

This hair strand was probably left recently, not a few months ago, probably just a day or so ago.

It coincides with the time of Aogude’s death.

So obviously, this body did not die. Aogude knew they would come back for it, so he ran off with the body early.

And his method of escape…

Should be the Transformation Art.

It’s the ability of the Transformationist School.

He must have used the ability of the Transformationist School to become some kind of small animal and run through the ice prison.

But there is a suspicious point.

That’s why Aogude has the ability to transform into a school.

Ye Qiu didn’t understand at first, but soon he figured it out.

If a person can use skills that are not their own, there is only one explanation.

The other party used a one-time magic scroll.

Although it’s not clear where Aogude got the scroll, this guess should be correct.

Before Aogude took out a scroll to seal the Lord of Elements, it was obvious he had already been prepared.

However, he underestimated the Lord of Elements after all.

Or, even if he didn’t underestimate, it wouldn’t have mattered.

Magic scrolls are disposable items, creators can turn their skills into scrolls.

To use it, you just need to tear the scroll, very convenient, no specific conditions needed, and no consumption.

But making scrolls is very troublesome, the specifics are hard to say for now.

Ye Qiu doesn’t make scrolls, but many players in the past life did.

This is a secondary profession called a scroll maker.

According to them, making scrolls is quite troublesome, they can hardly make a few in a day, so the unit price of scrolls is very expensive.

Buying from NPCs is the same, their prices are almost the same.

Scrolls also have different levels, ranging from level one to level eight.

The higher the level of the scroll, the more expensive it is sold, but there are always people buying them.

And they are almost always in high demand.

There’s no choice, scrolls are just too useful.

Imagine you’re a wizard, you can’t defend magic, can’t teleport, and have no shield to protect yourself.

How would you protect yourself?

It’s simple, just carry some scrolls for invisibility, teleportation, earth armor, ice armor, or tactical positioning.

Now, back to this side.

Look at the hair inside the ice prison.

If Aogude escaped using a Transformation Art scroll, then Ye Qiu would have to consider something.

The Transformationist School can transform into animals, and even some monsters.

But these are just second-rate.

The Transformationist School has a skill called "facial transformation".

It can change a player’s ID, even recreate their appearance completely into someone else, and it’s permanent!

Before, Ye Qiu had suspected, could Aogude be from the transformation school?

But come to think of it, the Transformationist School isn’t open yet.

NPCs related to the Transformationist School shouldn’t appear at this time, so no matter how you think about it, it couldn’t be the Transformationist School.

But just because the Transformationist School’s NPCs are not here now doesn’t mean the Transformationist School’s skill scrolls are not here now!

This should only be a level two Transformation Art.

And it’s from the beast series.

"If it’s only at this level, it’s fine, but if he also has the Transformation Art that changes faces, then it will be troublesome."

Ye Qiu thought about the short fur he threw away casually, "Aogude’s body must not be dead, and it must be hidden somewhere."

"But searching for it is like finding a needle in a haystack, so I suggest we don’t bother him for now."

"Jiang Chen, be more careful, Aogude said he left something on you, he may be trying to scare you."

"But it’s also possible that it’s true."

Jiang Chen’s eyes shifted at the words, "Don’t worry, I won’t fall into the same trap twice."

"Anyway, Ye Qiu, thanks to you this time, just call me directly if you have trouble in the future."

"Even if it’s in real life."

Ye Qiu looked surprised. "If it’s in real life, what can you do?"

Jiang Chen grinned when he heard that. "If you need me to help with anything, I can go dig up his ancestors’ graves."

"And then crazily eat his ancestors’ offerings!"

Ye Qiu quickly gestured to stop him. "There’s no need for that, besides, isn’t digging up someone’s ancestors’ graves illegal?"

"Setting fire to a mountain is also illegal," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"But there needs to be evidence, right? Accusing someone without evidence is unfair, isn’t it?"

"Remember, as long as I lack morals, morals can’t hold me back."

Ye Qiu, "6."

Looking at the two people in front of him, who were getting more and more upset as they talked, Mountain Ghost didn’t know what to say, so he could only say, "Uh…"

Too harsh!

These peaceful days are becoming more and more stressful!

。。。

As time passed, the situation in the game gradually became more stable.

The number of daily online players also stabilized at almost two billion.

Most of the players without a place to stay found a better place for them, which was to live directly inside the tower.

Don’t talk about how close you are to the Tower of Seals, we live inside the tower!

Of course, many players thought this way. From a long time ago, some players began to stay in the Tower of Seals.

It’s just that there are more now, almost making up 60% of all players.

Most players are located on the first and second floors.

The third floor hasn’t been cleared yet, so there are no players there currently.

From what is known, the third floor is especially large, almost ten times the size of the second floor!

There are twelve cities, corresponding to twelve Ghost Generals.

Initially, players thought they were bosses.

But as they progressed and gathered more information, players suddenly realized that these twelve don’t seem to be bosses!
