Chapter 11: Four Hundred Years
"Did you hear anything?"
At this time, the fourth person suddenly spoke.
He turned out to be a half-orc with the head of a bear.
Moreover, he is also followed by a Warcraft hound pet that he raises.
A middle-aged knight with a light-attribute sword, a master of dissection with a dagger and a crossbow, a young witch, and finally a half-orc with a Warcraft hound.
There are four people and one dog in total, and they take the elite squad route. Their strength is also enough, so they can break through to the current 158th floor.
So far, the adventure has gone well, and the monsters along the way are getting stronger and stronger, but they are still not overwhelmed, but they have gained a lot.
In particular, by luck, I got a Silver Frost Gem on the 172nd floor. Once sold for money, each of the four will receive a decent income.
Now, the corpse of the zombie bipedal wurm that the master of dissection is decomposing is also quite valuable. It is a good choice for one person to get a copy of the material, or to exchange it for money, or to find a forger to make equipment.
Therefore, among the four, only the witch who was worried about the magic ring was anxious. The other three preferred to be cautious, not wanting to make a mistake when disassembling the wurm corpse and breaking some of the materials.
And now the orc suddenly spoke because his hearing was much more sensitive than the other three, and he noticed some unusual movements.
"Voice?"
The middle-aged knight frowned, he didn't hear anything, but he didn't doubt his companion's words, and said, "Just in case, Little, you let the Demon Rock Dog go to investigate." ”
"Good. ”
The orc's name was Little, and he nodded, and gave an order to the Demon Rock Dog at his feet at the soul level.
"Woo!"
The Devil Rock Dog barked, then kicked up suddenly, and its body jumped out quickly.
There are a total of 199 floors in the Death Palace, each of which is extremely wide, and even the height is tens of meters.
There are many rock structures here, all of which are actually made of Death Stone, and they are so strong that they have not been damaged by countless battles.
In addition to empty buildings, there are more skeleton remains, tattered weapons and equipment, etc.
The Demon Rock Dog ran quickly, clearly heading towards a building more than twenty meters high, and after several jumps, it soon reached the top of the building.
Standing high and looking far away, it stared back and forth into the distance with its reddish eyes, and quickly discovered something.
"Not good!"
In the same place, the orcs knew the results of the investigation for the first time through the contact with the soul of the Demon Rock Dog.
His face changed slightly, and he said, "There are many undead zombies coming at us, and they have gathered together!
"No way! How can they have such intelligence?"
The middle-aged knight showed disbelief, but he had to believe it. He knew that it was impossible for the orc Litt to joke at such a time.
"It's not impossible. ”
The witch looked extremely calm and said, "All the monsters in this dead palace are dead things, and they usually kill each other to devour each other's souls, and then slowly metamorphose. When the color of their soul spark changes, it means that they have gone to the next level. The bipedal wurm we killed before, its soul fire is light blue, and it already has some thinking ability, and when the color is darker, maybe the intelligence will be higher. ”
"Doesn't that mean they're stronger, and now that they're gathering so much, how do we deal with it?"
At this time, the dissection expert also finished his work, stopped his movements, and asked the middle-aged knight.
"Retreat! This adventure is over!"
The middle-aged knight said decisively.
He is a famous adventurer, he has been to the Death Palace four times, and he is extremely experienced, but the current situation is also the first time he has encountered it, so he has made the most conservative choice.
"Good!"
"Agreed!"
"Well, I agree. ”
The other three immediately agreed, and even the witch completely abandoned the idea of getting the magic ring.
Thundered!
However, at this moment, there was a shaking under the feet of the four people. It's not that the Dead Palace is shaking, it's just that the layer of dirt under their feet is moving.
Puff puff puff!
Thick thorn vines with gray-black and triangular spikes suddenly emerged from under the feet of the four of them.
The dissection expert failed to react in time, and was tragically killed on the spot by thorns that pierced his entire body from the bottom up.
The half-orc has the strongest physique and the highest sensitivity, and he jumped high at the first time, dodging the thorny vine that he was going to kill.
The middle-aged knight is experienced and spicy, and his reaction is only a small beat slower than that of the orcs. He also jumped high and swung the sword in his hand downward, and with the flash of white light, the thorny vines that pierced him were cut off, and he was safe.
Finally, there was the witch, who had the weakest physical reflexes, but she had a talisman. It was a ruby pendant that automatically released a magic shield when danger came, blocking the fatal blow.
"Ahh
The next moment, the demon rock dog ran back, but in the air not far behind it, there were many skeleton birds chasing after it, and farther away, there were more zombie monsters.
"Run, get out of here!"
The middle-aged knight's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he gritted his teeth and said something to the other two, and he looked in one direction, spread his legs and ran.
"Wind!"
The witch waved her wand, and a white air stream enveloped her lower body, allowing it to levitate and take off, and she followed the middle-aged knight away without slowness.
The orc, on the other hand, landed on his hands and feet, pounced twice and joined the Rock Dog, and the two fled together.
"Hahahaha! Struggle! Where can you escape? Even if you go back to the upper floor, there are still countless cuties waiting for you!"
In the Holy Pot on the 100th floor, Han Ting controlled everything through the ability of the Death Palace.
At the same time, he controlled the necromantic zombies to attack all the invaders, and the adventurers on the 181st and 167th floors had been killed, and the soul power was transmitted to Han Ting through the connection of the Death Palace. The corpses of those adventurers will soon be transformed into new zombie monsters by the death qi that pervades the death palace and become Han Ting's subordinates.
And because the four people and one beast on the 158th floor are stronger, only one has died so far, and the others are still on the run.
Han Ting watched all this, and his heart was full of play, and he suddenly wanted to play with them, not wanting to kill them all at once. At least until the next batch of new adventurers arrives, he wants to keep these "toys" alive for a few more days.
"I am the master of the Death Prison Realm, I own the Palace of Death, I am a generation of demon kings! All human beings will be my playthings! No, I don't know if they are human beings, after I break the seal and recover my peak strength, I will conquer the demons, dragons, and even the gods one by one!"
Killing human adventurers, the soul power replenished by Han Ting was too weak, it was simply a drop in the ocean, insignificant, and there was not even a trace of feeling.
However, he is not short of time, with hundreds of thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, he does not believe that he cannot return to the top. When the time comes, it will be the time when the Demon King returns, and his ambitions will be put into action at that time!
......
In this way, Han Ting played his "tower defense game" in the palace of death, and more than 400 years passed quickly.
On this day, he was playing and chasing adventurers in a certain layer as always, and suddenly sensed several not weak existences, and entered the death palace from the first layer.
"Yes, yes, a few new men, especially the skeleton warrior covered in armor, who doesn't seem to be weak. Well, and that half-body snake girl, isn't that the image of Medusa? I remember in the game, there is a need for Medusa's troops, but it will be very late!"
Today's Han Ting, his soul power has grown a lot, according to the memory of his predecessor, there is almost one-tenth of the period of total victory, according to this, in another nine or four hundred years, he will be able to recover his soul power, and then he can try to break the seal. If that doesn't work, continue to grow your soul, and the stronger you become, the more likely it is to break the Holy Cauldron.
"Huh?"
Soon, Han Ting sensed that from the first layer of the Death Palace, a new humanoid skeleton had entered.
But he couldn't sense any breath on the humanoid skeleton's body.
"How can there be no death? Is it too weak?"
Han Ting tried to control the new skeleton.
However, he failed.
"How is it possible! In this palace, there are dead things that I can't control?"
Han Ting didn't believe it, and he continued to try.
