The Eight Directions Storm? This scroll is named Eight Directions Storm.
From the name, it is clear that this is a magic scroll, and a rare dual magic scroll at that.
Generally speaking, scrolls produced on mid to low-level roulettes tend to be auxiliary types, such as attribute scrolls, summoning scrolls, skill scrolls, and so on. Active types, which are scrolls with offensive or defensive properties, are quite rare. Such scrolls typically only appear on higher-level roulettes.
Ye Zhongming knew that in his previous life, there were some extremely powerful attack scrolls on the grade 9 roulette. While they might not have the power to destroy the world, they were more than capable of wiping out a base.
Most of these attack-type scrolls were also magic-related. The Eight Directions Storm belonged to this category. In fact, after taking a look at the description, Ye Zhongming had a rough understanding of the scroll's power. This type of scroll was essentially a one-time mass destruction weapon that, once used, could obliterate everything within its range.
Especially since it was a scroll of both wind and water elements, when activated, it would cause mixed damage, further increasing its power.
However, this scroll was sealed.
The reason Ye Zhongming had never encountered it before was that other sealed equipment usually required an unsealing scroll to lift the seal, but he had never heard of a scroll being sealed itself.
Fortunately, the scroll provided a method for unsealing... by consuming similar types.
In other words, one would need to sacrifice element-type magic attack scrolls to this scroll to lift the seal.
Ye Zhongming estimated that this was something obtained from a mid-level roulette, otherwise, it wouldn't have been sealed.
To be honest, if it were Ye Zhongming himself, he wouldn't have been interested in such a scroll.
Firstly, even if he obtained it, he wouldn't be able to use it. To some extent, it would be equivalent to wasting an opportunity to gain a reward. Secondly, the number of element-type attack scrolls required to unseal this one was likely astronomical.
No one knew whether the combined value of these scrolls was higher or lower than this one, meaning no one could determine the cost-effectiveness. If the cost-effectiveness turned out to be poor, it would be a loss.
However, when Ye Zhongming was about to close the scroll, he noticed a small progress bar where the scroll's illustration was displayed, which was about one-tenth filled.
Clearly, Bachelet had once intended to unseal this scroll. As for why he later gave up... Ye Zhongming could easily guess the answer. He must have sacrificed an unknown number of scrolls, only to find that the required quantity was staggering, so he gave up.
That was why he treated this as a gift for Ye Zhongming.
This was a trap.
Ye Zhongming helplessly put it away, realizing that he could only slowly fill this pit later, or, if an opportunity arose, he could possibly use it to set a trap for someone else.
But in any case, this business deal was still quite profitable. Ye Zhongming's strength received a significant boost without any changes in his evolution level, profession level, skill level, or equipment lineage.
He had Xia Bai learn everything possible, and what was left was given to Xiao Min, Dai Zhi, and a few other team leaders in order. The only remaining items from this transaction were some status scrolls, which Ye Zhongming stored for future use.
After resting for a night, Haman Dan came over early the next morning, asking about Ye Zhongming's considerations.
Upon receiving the news that they were preparing to head to the Star Mother Disc, this West Asian was very happy, hurriedly preparing the team, and then set off with Ye Zhongming and the others.
They first teleported from the Gate of Space-Time Folding to a substation, then according to Haman Dan, they traveled for a whole morning before arriving.
As they gradually approached the Star Mother Disc, the number of sand-type monsters noticeably increased, and the speed of their advance became extremely slow.
