Chapter 94 Ancient Tomb Stone
Soon the two of them arrived at the broken carriage. This broken carriage has now become a landmark in their cognition.
The area around the carriage is where most of the soulless zombies are found.
Continuing to move northeast, Xiao Jie noticed within a few minutes that the two of them seemed to have arrived at the area where Ximen Wuhen died.
Yes, this is it. He looked around and saw that the three of them had circled from the east to get here.
However, Ximen Wuhen's corpse that had been pecked by crows had long since disappeared. It must have been refreshed by the system.
After walking for a while, the surrounding gradually became gloomy.
The trees began to take on a lifeless tone, with sudden gray colors. Some trees seemed to have died long ago, but they were not completely dead. They showed twisted postures and grew wantonly.
I don't know when a layer of gray fog appeared in the sky, making the surrounding light look a little dim. It was definitely not like a normal climate change, but more like a special landscape on a special map.
Xiao Jie's heart gradually lifted. The atmosphere here felt different from the forest he had walked through before.
"Be prepared to become an immortal, and be ready to run away at any time." He warned in a low voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
"I understand Brother Feng."
Xiao Jie didn't want to admit it, but he inexplicably liked this feeling, as if he was really exploring in a dark and mysterious world, facing unknown risks and opportunities.
However, what surprised Xiao Jie was that there was not a single monster along the way, not to mention the undead army, the terrifying BOSS, not even a soulless walking corpse.
Hey, this is really weird.
When the two of them walked out of this weird forest, a towering cliff appeared in front of them.
This is the edge of the Ginkgo Valley. The towering cliffs extend to both sides, surrounding the valley. After walking not far according to the map, we found our destination.
An ancient tomb stands in the shadows below the cliff.
There is also a huge stone tablet standing on the right side of the tomb door, with something written on it in mottled and faded characters.
Mysterious Tomb - arrived.
"Stop!" Xiao Jie said. He did not immediately go over to investigate, but carefully observed his surroundings.
No monsters, no beasts, nothing, just lifeless silence.
I wanted to become an immortal and took out the talisman paper with the strange symbols on it and compared it with the symbols on the tomb door. Sure enough, they were exactly the same.
"Brother Feng?"
"Don't worry-"
When he reached the end of the road, Xiao Jie completely calmed down. His nervousness and excitement were completely suppressed deep in his heart, and there was only absolute calmness in his heart. "Meatball, come over and take a look!"
Meatball whined and protested twice, but still walked over cautiously.
He looked around the stone tablet, then at the entrance of the ancient tomb, then turned around and barked twice at Xiao Jie.
"Master, there is nothing here."
It seems that there is really no danger.
"Let's go there." Xiao Jie then walked towards the ancient tomb.
The two of them walked to the door of the ancient tomb. The door was made of a single piece of stone and was tightly closed. Xiao Jie stepped forward to check it and found that there was a square stone hole in the door with a stone seal embedded in it. The stone seal was deeply stuck. On top, it's all in one piece.
Hey, isn't this the spirit stone talisman?
Then he investigated the door again and found that the door could be opened directly.
However, he did not dare to open it directly. He turned around and looked at the stone tablet again. The text on the stone tablet had faded, but it could still be read through the indents.
But I saw it written above——
[A message to mortals:
In the year of the monster, the ghost world invades.
The corpses and ghosts are running rampant, and the world is in chaos.
Only my immortal way can subdue demons and eliminate troubles.
The ghost general and corpse owl will be given their heads here.
Although the powerful enemy is defeated, the fire of hell is still burning.
Confined here and allowed to perish.
It can be dissipated at the end of eight hundred years.
This monument is specially erected and must not be opened.
The person who erected the monument——Dang Mo Zhenren Lin Xuance]
It turns out that there is a ghost general named Corpse Owl sealed in this ancient tomb. It will take eight hundred years for his power to completely dissipate. Speaking of which year is the Year of the Ghost?
Maybe you can ask the village chief.
He looked at the scene in front of him and instantly understood what had happened.
The spirit stone talisman is the key used to open ancient tombs and secret treasures. Since a piece has been embedded on it, it means that it has been opened by someone.
In other words, the mysterious black-robed man opened the ancient tomb. No need to guess, the purpose was definitely for the ghost general. Maybe it was to release the ghost general, maybe to seize the ghost general's power.
Darling, this is not good.
This plot feels like it’s going to be something big.
When I saw Xiao Jie not moving for a long time, I couldn't help but click on the door of the tomb.
With the sound of stones rubbing against each other, the tomb door slowly opened, and a dark underground passage suddenly appeared behind the door.
Xiao Jie lit a torch and shined a light inside, but it could only illuminate a short distance.
Suddenly a prompt appeared.
[System prompt: You have discovered the entrance to an underground tomb. Such tombs may often contain dangers. Players are advised to be fully prepared before exploring. 】
Xiao Jie was shocked. This game is a typical weak guide. The system rarely reminds players about game mechanics. Now, the system even warns players. It seems that going to the ancient tomb is definitely a very dangerous thing - —More dangerous than imagined.
"Brother Feng? Do you want to go down?"
"Go ahead, have you forgotten what I said before?" Xiao Jie said angrily, "I asked you to remind me, why did you get tempted first?"
I'm good at everything if I want to become an immortal, but it's easy to fall for me, so I dare to do this. This kind of closed ancient tomb is completely different from the open world on the ground. You can run away when you encounter monsters that you can't defeat outside, and you can also use the environment to make various maneuvers.
But once you enter the ancient tomb, it is difficult to run away if you encounter danger.
And given the nature of this game, there will definitely not be just monsters in this ancient tomb. There may be traps, poison gas, flying arrows and the like. Maybe the monsters will die before they see it.
Xiao Jie said he would not go in at all.
"Then what should we do with this investigation mission? We can't investigate without going in."
"Is there anything we can't investigate? Haven't you already seen the words on the stone tablet? It's obvious that the mysterious man in black robe opened the tomb to seize or release the power inside. Can't we go back and report this situation to Yang Baichuan and be done with it? ”
"Ah, is that so? Is that okay?"
Xiao Jie was speechless, "Then what do you think? The two of us went to the meeting with two swords and directly destroyed the monster's lair? Killed the mysterious man in black robe and exploded the ghost general? What are you thinking? Get out quickly."
I want to become an immortal and I am still struggling, "How about we go in and explore a little bit, instead of going deep, just take a look near the entrance? Maybe we can find something."
Xiao Jie was still waiting to explain, but suddenly—ding bell!
A strange ringing sound came from the forest behind.
Xiao Jie was shocked.
"Quickly retreat!"
The two of them turned around and walked around the cliff, but they were still a step too late. A large group of corpses swayed out of the forest.
"Hide."
The two quickly hid behind the stone tablet.
Fortunately, the stone monument was tall and wide enough for the two of them to hide.
Just look at the corpse exorcists driving the corpses towards the ancient tomb. Groups of zombies walked silently into the tomb passage, giving an inexplicable sense of chilling.
Xiao Jie glanced at the corpse chaser——
Zhao Qi (corpse chaser): Elite, level 9. HP 440.
Another new corpse chaser.
Just when most of the corpses had entered the tomb passage, suddenly, a corpse dog roared strangely at the stone tablet.
This was the first time Xiao Jie heard this cry. It was unusually penetrating. It was completely different from the barking of a wild dog or the ferocious roar of a hound. It was a hoarse cry-like sound, as if the vocal cords had mutated, causing the sound to It also became distorted.
Hearing the barking of the dog, the corpse driver suddenly looked at the stone monument, his eyes shining green under the black hat.
"run!"
Xiao Jie shouted, and the two of them rushed out from behind the stone tablet and ran in the direction they came from.
The corpse driver rang the bell, and several corpse dogs immediately chased after him.
The two of them and the two dogs rushed into the forest. Not long after running, they heard rapid footsteps behind them. When Xiao Jie turned around, he sneered.
Only four corpse dogs gave chase.
Haha, why should I be afraid of you? There are only four level six monsters, and you still dare to be so arrogant.
"Stop, kill them!"
The two people and the two dogs stopped instantly, four against four, it was fair.
Xiao Jie used a sword and shield this time. Shields are very useful against low-status monsters such as wild dogs and corpse dogs.
Seeing the corpse dog rushing towards Xiao Jie, he directly shielded him.
bump! The corpse dog jumped on the shield and knocked it to the ground.
While the corpse dog was knocked down, Xiao Jie slashed at it twice.
-
19!
-
18!
This thing's defense is much stronger than that of a wild dog.
One knife——
As soon as it accumulated strength, the corpse dog immediately retreated quickly, while the corpse dogs on both sides attacked from left and right.
"I'm coming!" I wanted to become an immortal and rushed forward with my giant axe. I let a corpse dog bite me and chopped one down with one axe.
Before the corpse dog could stand up, Xiao Jie made a roundhouse slash and completed the last hit.
The last corpse dog wanted to come over to help, but was beaten one by one by Meatball and Scar, biting them together.
Compared with the powerful and heavy Mako that came and went like the wind, this thing was too weak.
Xiao Jie quickly approached the second corpse dog. The opponent scurried left and right, and wanted to go around and attack it from the side, but Xiao Jie could not do what it wanted. The shield was always in front of him.
The corpse dog finally couldn't help but pounced on him.
Block with shield and cut in two with one sword!
The seriously injured corpse dog wanted to continue to fight, but Xiao Jie rolled and cut it down with a rolling knife.
Over there, I wanted to become an immortal, but I also withstood the attack and killed his corpse-eating dog.
Only the guy who was besieged by Scar, the meatball, was left.
Xiao Jie and I wanted to become immortals and surrounded it, preparing to understand it.
The corpse dog suddenly let out a roar like a bull, and its bony belly suddenly bulged.
It swelled rapidly like a balloon, and the entire body showed a translucent texture.
Xiao Jie was shocked - retreat quickly!
But it was too late. Before he could shout, the corpse dog had already roared! It exploded into a ball of green blood mist, which quickly filled the air.
The two people and the dog were all hit and dyed dark green.
