Chapter 196: See the Goddess Again

More than 150 years ago, the demon god Diablo brought evil forces westward to the cemetery after Tristram broke the seal, and the former resting place of the dead became a paradise for monsters.

The fallen heroine has been entrenched here for a long time, becoming a dark gold monster blood bird. But now, the Bloodbird is out of her binds and out of place, perhaps she's hiding somewhere in the Cold Plains.

Upon approaching, the trio were greeted by an abandoned cemetery.

The cemetery is large, with a tattered iron fence and some stone walls on the perimeter, the ruins of the walls set off a kind of desolation, but the occasional delicate pattern from the collapsed stone wall allows people to imagine what it was more than a hundred years ago.

The breeze blew, and there was a faint rancid smell, and Memphira felt a dead silence and gloom.

He remembers that in the game, the necromancer class would come here and say, "Too many empty tombs!" "It's not clear what that means. Now I cautiously walked into the iron fence of the burial place and saw the scene inside.

It was originally the resting place of the dead, and it was supposed to be a quiet and peaceful place. But since being shrouded in darkness, the dead buried in the ground can no longer rest in peace, and have become the best raw materials for the forces of hell, and have been awakened from the grave again and again to become undead monsters, wandering in this former cemetery.

At this time, there were a few sparse monsters in the cemetery, except for a small stony clearing in the center, and the ground was uneven in the distance.

The original tombs were overgrown with wild grass, the tombstones were overturned, and the undead left deep pits in the places where they had come out, which were repeated under the action of the demonic energy of hell, and these were the so-called "empty tombs".

"Hiss~hiss~" Smelling the breath of the living, several monsters walked towards them.

"Haven't they been here yet?"

Memphira felt a little strange, in terms of time, whether it was Iseriel or the protector sent by Billus, if they came early, the monster should be cleaned up, either the corpse was left on the ground, or the corpse disappeared The monster should not have been refreshed.

Now there are only a few monsters in the sparse Lala, which is a bit unusual.

Rodhart and a few meat shields have already rushed forward, just in time to try out the new monster's condition.

The monsters, known as the "Hungry Dead", are close relatives of zombies, but they are much thinner than zombies, with a dark green skin covering their bodies, which are very dry and strong, with no pus or blood coming out.

The starving dead weren't fast, but probably due to their dry skin, they were more resistant to blows, and the skeleton's tomahawk and Hart's scepter smashed into it with a low, muffled sound.

After letting Rodhart take a few attacks and test the monster's attributes, Monfila waved his hand and cursed, and the melee quickly sent the monster away. Their health, damage, and defense should be higher than those of the Dark Hunters, but not as good as the Giant Beasts.

"The monster is not strong, there is not much danger, let's spread out and explore around."

The cemetery was empty, full of overturned headstones and hollow graves. Half an hour later, the trio found two large stone buildings not too far apart at the very end of the cemetery.

"This should be the Great Mausoleum and the Mausoleum!" Memphira thought.

The entrance to the stone tomb is two people high, the large blocks of stone are relatively strong, and they have not been damaged much for hundreds of years, and the stone carvings on the surface are clearly visible.

Anyone who has played the Diablo 2 game knows that after destroying the second quest boss Blood Bird in the Buried Bones, you can also go to the Great Mausoleum and the Mausoleum, two burial chamber labyrinths.

These two stone tombs are not very large, but there is a large golden treasure chest inside, and it is possible to turn over good equipment. At the same time, there is also a small area of dark gold monsters - bone crushers, which may burst out of blue or bright gold equipment.

Monfila came to the entrance of the tomb on the left and stopped to observe, perhaps Ezriel's party and pursuers had already gone down there, and it was necessary to go in and have a look.

I haven't been able to tell which of these two tombs is a large mausoleum and which is a mausoleum, but it doesn't matter, the area should not be large, just take turns to search.

It was getting dark, but it didn't have much of an impact on the underground adventure. After checking their equipment, the trio lit torches and walked into the burial chamber on the left.

The burial chamber was relatively dry, and there was no rancid smell of corpses as expected, probably because most of the corpses here had dried and turned into skeletons. There is also not much dust on the ground, which is much better than the environment outside.

The burial chamber was not as narrow as Memphira imagined, the stone tomb was seven or eight meters wide, enough for people to walk side by side, and the top was about two meters high, and there were frescoes carved on the sides and on the top.

The light was not dim, and a small oil lamp was lit on the side wall not far ahead. The lamp was probably built in the first place, with a huge oil bottle in the middle of the stone wall. The Awoken who came to explore later filled it with oil could continue to light it for months, perhaps it was a new addition from Isriel and others.

The oil lamps and torches illuminated the surrounding stone walls clearly. There was not much dust on the ground, and Memphira looked at the murals on the stone walls, which should have described the deeds of the nobles of the Kingdom of Canduras during their lifetimes and some of the things that happened in the kingdom.

Now these historical relics have survived forever, but the so-called nobles have become undead creatures, and it is difficult to enter reincarnation.

However, this is not the time to explore and remember history, and Monfila gathered his mood and led the crowd forward.

At the front of the line were two skeletons and stone demons, three and skeletons walked in the middle, and at the back were three skeletons breaking off, and Rodhart had an aura of resistance. The team is relatively safe in the burial chamber.

After more than ten meters of progress, a small burial chamber appeared on each side of the walkway. The burial chamber has no door and is directly connected to the walkway.

The group carefully investigated, and these two small tombs were only about a dozen square meters in size. There were no monsters inside, and a sarcophagus was placed in the center, the heavy stone cover had been lifted, and there was nothing inside.

"Let's go, there are no monsters here, let's go inside and have a look."

Monfila led the group quickly along the wide passageway, and the small burial chambers on the left and right sides were the same as before.

After walking a distance, the passage in front of you suddenly widened, revealing a large clearing with three different passages at the other end.

It seems that the scope of this catacombs is not small. Monfila chose a passage on the left to enter, and finally encountered the monster. There were still only a few starving deaths, and the skeleton monster in Monfila's impression did not appear.

The number of monsters is scarce, and there is one less type, it looks like someone has cleaned up and missed a few mobs, maybe they just passed by here two days ago?

It didn't take long to find a change again. The burial chambers on both sides of the aisle have become larger, with a total of thirty or forty square meters, and there are more than one sarcophagus distributed in it, and some of them have set up burial pits embedded in the ground directly on the ground of the burial chamber.

However, there are very few monsters in these sarcophagi and curtain pits.

Thinking of the judgment in his heart, Meng Feira quickened his pace, and when he encountered sporadic monsters, he no longer entangled, and quickly chased in the direction of no monsters?

The burial chamber was far larger than he had imagined, and the passage turned around as if it could not reach the end, and after several forks, new monsters finally began to appear in the burial chamber in a certain direction, and the number increased a lot.

It seems that the previous guess was correct, and the awakened who came before cleaned up some of the monsters, and may have gone in other directions at the previous fork.

The new monster that appears in the large burial chamber is none other than the Skeleton Monster, with golden bones that creak at the joints when you walk.

Memphira tried their color, and the damage was higher than that of the Hungry Dead, but the health was a little lower. The summons went into battle, and Kaori's skills were also shot, and the space in the tomb was enough for everyone to use, and they quickly slashed the monsters in front of them to the ground.

With the combination of corpse explosion and static field, plus the physical attack that the melee fighters have significantly improved, it didn't take long for more than a dozen monsters to be wiped out.

Monfila probed further, and there were still similar monsters in the tomb ahead, and there were more of them. He immediately led the team back, and the person he was looking for must be in the few forks in the road where there were no monsters.

The catacombs are so large that they may have been expanded by the nobles and monasteries over the years, making them an underground labyrinth.

According to the distance traveled, the so-called "mausoleum" and "grand mausoleum" should have been merged into one underground, although they are two entrances on the ground.

I took a lot of forks in the road, and when I encountered a lot of monsters, I went back to find another path. Five hours later, I finally heard the sound of ping-pong battle at the end of the passage ahead, mixed with a shout.

"It's just ahead, be careful!" Meng Feila's spirit was shocked, and there was finally movement. reminded everyone and immediately ran forward with the team.

Turning around the end of the passage, and then going forward, there was a relatively open area as bright as day, and a large number of monsters surrounded the Awoken, and the sounds of fighting and shouting came from inside.

The light came from the ground, and the intersection of this passage of one or two hundred square meters was more like a hall, and there was a huge six-pointed star circle on the ground, and half-human-high flames were spewing out wildly along several edges. This flame should be the whole attack attribute, and both the monster and the awakened were careful to avoid the location of the flame.

This scene is familiar, and many of the dungeon's passages in the game will have fire formations, a skill similar to a wall of fire that can burn awakened people who pass by.

"Damn, how come there are so many monsters!"

Surrounded by a large number of starving dead in the direction where a few people had come, there were many gaps left in the middle to avoid the flames. You can see that there are a large number of skeleton monsters gathered on the opposite side, have all the monsters in this vicinity gathered here?

The intersection of the passages resembles a T-junction, and blue arrows continue to shoot into the awakened in the direction perpendicular to the path from which the three came, causing a burst of screams. From time to time, javelins shoot out suddenly, but they can only shoot mobs, which doesn't have much effect.

Seeing the three coming, a small group of hungry dead left the brigade to greet them, and the three of them quickly entered the combat state. Regardless of whether it is friend or foe inside, you must first tear through the encirclement of monsters.

"Holy Knight, join our team quickly, the double aura can live!" Suddenly, a man's shout came from inside the encirclement.

"Shenma?" Rodhart was stunned for a moment, and was about to answer, when another voice came from inside.

"Don't think about it, you despicable and shameless guys, I won't be in the same league as you, if you want to die, you will die together!" is also a male voice, and it is the paladin in the mouth of the former.

It turns out that there are two groups of people inside! Don't? Meng Feila's mind was racing, and while quickly blessing the attributes, he shouted inside:

"Friends inside, we'll open the gap in a while and rush this way."

There are rescuers! The people who were surrounded were surprised and delighted, and the paladin just now shouted: "Be careful! The bloodbird is here, and it freezes the arrows. At last he shouted to the people in the encirclement:

"Bastard, don't give us the antidote yet! Are you really going to kill humans? ”

What's the situation, Rodhart and Kaori are in a fog, and the people inside aren't together?

Because Meng Feila had already guessed, the paladin's words confirmed what he thought. He was casting a curse on the monster in front of him when he heard a clear female voice inside.

"Philp, don't talk nonsense with them, if you have the opportunity for a while, one person will carry one out."

Isereil! Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Meng Feila's heart was nervous, and the staff was a little unstable.

The skeletons have already engaged the starving dead, UU reading the book Memphira was anxious, and commanded the skeleton soldiers to go up and quickly chop up four corpses, and shouted while cursing all the monsters: "Isriel, is it you, I will blow up the passage immediately, and you guys quickly rush this way!" ”

The corpse exploded in full fire, killing more than thirty starving dead in an instant, and the other monsters moved away from the corpse under the command, and suddenly there was a narrow passage, and the meat shields and Rodhart quickly rushed over to attack both sides of the passage, trying to maintain this narrow passage.

At this time, I finally saw the battle situation inside. There were nine people in the small circle, and there were quite a few summons, many necromancer skeletons and druid ghost wolves forming a circle to fight the monsters, and there were several corpses lying in the middle of the circle.

Hearing her name being shouted outside, Isriel turned her head to see Monfila's anxious expression. She was a little puzzled, this awakened person seemed to be a little familiar.

At last, Memphira saw the girl in her dreams, and at that moment he could not feel the monsters, flames, and fierce battles around her, and only the short royal blue hair and pale face that appeared in her dream.

"Be careful!" Suddenly, there was a sudden change in the field, and Meng Feila's hair stood on his back, but he only had time to give a reminder.
