Chapter 621: The Ancient Mummy (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
Kogan rushed into the crowd of monsters with a big grin, an axe flying up and down, and none of the enemies around him could rush past him.
The dwarven warriors used their height of less than one meter four, and they were proper, and those undead were also stupid, and when they saw Kogan so rampant, they all went to him for trouble, and the few warriors behind him didn't catch anything, so they could only fish on the side.
In a few moments, there were countless corpses lying beside him, and most of them were shortened out of thin air, because all the parts below the knee had been cut off. But it's not all a good thing, it's cool for him to kill alone, but the problem is that he's running around in the monster pile, and Soram also has scruples about casting spells, for fear of accidentally hitting him.
So the battle that should have been no difficulty, but it was dragged on by this crazy dwarf for more than twenty minutes, and finally everyone simply stopped, just watched the performance, anyway, the really dangerous vampires were killed, and now there are only some skeletons and low-level corpses left, Kogan should be able to deal with it.
When the battle was over, Kogan walked over with a refreshed face and a laugh on his lips.
"Hahahaha, it's so cool! I like the feeling of being surrounded by enemies, no matter how you cut it, you can cut the enemy! Hahaha, that's so cool! ”
Trismu snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! You're cool, the problem is that our time is wasted! "Trism is a serious person, so he really doesn't like Kogan's chaos, and thinks that this kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation and doesn't listen to orders is a cancer.
In the face of Trismu's accusation, Kogan pursed his lips and ignored him, carrying his weapon directly to find the loot under those corpses. He was disappointed that the undead had no money......
Seeing Kogan like this, Trism immediately couldn't help but get angry, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to clean him up, he rarely got angry in his life, at least on the bright side, as a ben elf who grew up in the Drow society, this is still something in the city. But for Kogan, he couldn't hold the fire.
"Forget it, he's such a person, there's no need to be angry with him." Soram is very open-minded, Kogan can do this, why bother making Trism unhappy with him, besides, if you really want to fight, Trism is really not Kogan's opponent.
A level 18 berserker plus the natural advantage of a dwarf, Trism fought him head-on, with more defeats and fewer victories, and with Kogan's crazy energy, once the fight starts, there will be casualties if it is not done well, why bother? For this little thing.
Solam's words, Traismo has always been unconditionally obedient, Solam is not only their brother's savior, but also very good to their brother, Tram is also a grateful person, naturally Soram is dead, since Soram doesn't let him do it, he can only endure it.
Seeing that things were done, Soram turned the trap again, and this time everyone was ready, but this time there was no trouble, except that it suddenly descended at the end of the corridor, and a new corridor appeared.
Along the wide corridor, the group found a secret door in the wall at the end that had been blown open, and after clearing it, they found a path leading to the underground. Judging from the age on the mural, there is at least more than 10,000 years of force history. And the secret door that exploded is not a recent masterpiece, and it seems that the time is not short.
Along the way, they cleared out a dozen slow-moving mummies, as well as shadow creatures that appeared on the main matter plane for unknown reasons. But none of this mattered, for at the end of one of the forks in the road, Henry saw a towering stone door, and the rich negative energy emanating from it could be seen even by a blind man.
Eventually, Solam and his party came to the tomb. When the crowd pushed open the heavy stone door and entered it.
Suddenly, a crimson flame erupted from the ornate stone pillar in the center of the burial chamber, followed by a large stone slab slowly pulling open, and out of it came a mummy wrapped in bandages. Unlike the normal variety, it has ruby-like eyes, and its body is constantly exuding an aura of fear. The shroud on his body was also densely covered with many runes.
Obviously, this is a powerful ancient mummy, no better than a lich to deal with. I saw it open its mouth and let out a deep voice: "Cursed life...... Stinky flesh. Even here...... There are also ...... Rules. Final...... Long...... Sleep...... No...... No...... Disturb...... Violators...... Only...... There is only one dead end. All mortals...... Must ...... Abide by. The burial chamber of the disciples of Casa...... No...... Can be ...... Blasphemy, learning ...... Apprentice...... Naivagia will make ...... You guys...... Join...... My Dead Country......"
From these staccato words, Henry gets a lot of useful information. First of all, it is the burial chamber of one of Casa's disciples. Secondly, this ancient mummy was the guard of the burial chamber.
Then, in the passage behind him and the surrounding walls, I don't know when a large number of skeleton warriors appeared. Judging by the size of more than two meters and the two-handed greatsword that flashes with magic aura, it will be quite troublesome to deal with.
Scarlett sensed that the aura of fear was affecting everyone, and immediately blessed everyone with the magic "Resist Fear".
"You guys are going to deal with the skeleton warriors in the passage, and we'll leave this ancient mummy to deal with." Solam yelled at several melee classes, then immediately pulled out the Evil Eye Staff and unleashed three "dissociations" in one go, disintegrating the three closest skeleton warriors into green powder.
Mummies are embalmed corpses, and they also undergo a series of enchantments and negative energy corrosion, and finally imprison their souls in them forever.
Due to their inhuman torture, these bandaged undead creatures possess a lot of supernatural powers, and the fear aura is just one of them.
On top of that, they also have deadly viruses in their bodies, and anyone who comes into direct contact with them can be infected with "carrion", and all physical attacks can only do half the damage. And his attacks have the effect of "Ghoul's Touch" (paralyzing)
Normally, it is impossible for a mummy to have the ability to intellect and think. There are always exceptions, and a long, long time ago, around the end of the Nethril era, a powerful necromancer invented a special method to ensure the integrity of the soul during the crafting process, so that the deceased could retain their previous memories, intelligence, and class level.
At the same time, the victim will also be tortured more painfully, after all, if he is made like this, he can still have wisdom, what is it that is not torture?
There are very few casters who have mastered this method, and in modern times, except for those old monsters who have lived for thousands of years, basically no one knows how to do it. These dangerous undead have a special name called Ancient Mummies.
It's nothing compared to a lich, but it's a lot more powerful than a vampire, and at least they're not afraid of being exposed to the sun.
Solam: They are now dealing with such a difficult opponent. Solam and the others had cast four or five spells in a row, but they were all blocked by protective magic.
Obviously, the ancient mummy in front of him was a mage specializing in the protection department before his death, and he was a mess of combat experience, especially the terrifying spell recognition ability, and he could judge the magic being cast almost when he chanted the first three syllables.
Its cast speed is also quite fast, and it can always be blessed with the corresponding spell protection one to two seconds in advance.
Protective mages are arguably one of the most difficult to deal with, and they are always careful to put themselves in an absolutely safe position first, and then slowly look for the opponent's weakness until they are absolutely sure before delivering a fatal blow.
If it weren't for the fact that Solam had the bug Viorette on his side, and had been helping Soram and them take over the mummy's counterattack, Solam and they would have been disrupted by the hands of this ancient mummy.
When Solam saw this mummy, he suddenly thought of the monster staff of Ciriles that he had just obtained, and he could use that staff to subdue the undead in front of him! Violette was not ordered to destroy the mummy.
Since he doesn't plan to destroy this mummy, Soram is not in a hurry, consume! Anyway, looking at the appearance of this mummy, it doesn't look like he can carry magic items and scrolls with bandages all over his body, but what about his own side? There are many scrolls, as long as his spell slots are exhausted, then it can only be hand-to-hand.
After about thirty minutes, it finally ran out of the last of its protective magic and began hand-to-hand combat. And this mummy is obviously a mage in front of him, how proficient can he be in hand-to-hand combat? Naturally, Solam didn't take him seriously.
But it was the carelessness of this moment that almost made Solam fall in love with this guy. Unexpectedly, this guy's attack speed was very fast, and he pounced like a gust of wind, and slapped Soram squarely, and Soram was immediately paralyzed.
Fortunately, Solam's physique is strong enough, the magic resistance is high enough, after being paralyzed for a while, he immediately recovered, and at the moment when the mummy was just about to pinch himself, he slashed him with a battle axe, and Solam didn't shoot this way to destroy the mummy, the undead have such benefits, it doesn't matter if the body is broken, it's over when you reassemble it, and you don't care about this attack at all.
But who would have thought that although Solam cut it out, it didn't hurt him at all, and with the axe just now, Solam felt that he had chopped on a piece of steel. The strength of the mummy's body is very hard, which Soram understands, but the problem is that Soram's battle axe is a legendary weapon, even if it is real steel, Soram is sure to cut him in half, and it seems that the rune-covered shroud on its body is not as simple as it seems.
