Chapter 130: Shadow Stone

With the first spoils of war, the Crescent Lord and his men were not as complaining as they had been at the beginning, and if they could take the Emperor's Tomb this time, they would have gained enough to keep them from worrying for half their lives, but only if they survived.

After passing through the passage in the middle of the sarcophagus, the procession proceeds to the next level of the underground pyramid.

Chen Yue and his team sneaked into the interior from the top of the pyramid, and if they wanted to enter the burial chamber where the coffin of the desert emperor was buried, they had to go to the bottom of the pyramid, during which they would encounter a lot of traps, and the burial chamber of a martyr like a mummy would also reappear, and they could only clean it up slowly and carefully.

The space on this floor is significantly larger than that of the previous floor.

Not only that, but the number of burial chambers here has also increased several times, and the strength of the mummies inside has also been strengthened, which is much more difficult to deal with than the previous level.

Now everyone can be sure that the closer you get to the base of the pyramid, the larger the space inside will be, the number of tombs may be larger, and the strength of the mummies inside will presumably also take on a ladder state. If this is the case, the pressure on the Crescent Lord will increase.

After killing the last mummy of this burial chamber, Chen Yue said to the crescent lord who was panting to the side, "How many floors does this underground pyramid have?" ”

"There are seven floors in total, but our goal is on the third floor, so we don't have to go to the bottom floors." The crescent lord wiped the sweat from his forehead, and just now a total of forty mummies launched an attack, so that Chen Yue and the others could not deal with it at the same time, so they were handed over to the crescent lord to contain them, which also caused them to suffer casualties again.

"Understood." Chen Yue nodded and said, this is consistent with what Sarah said.

"By the way, what are the bottom two layers of the pyramid for?"

Chen Yue was a little curious, Sarah had only seen the main structure of the mausoleum, as for what was in each layer, she didn't know very well, then only the crescent lord might know.

"I don't know, but if you're interested, you might check it out." The Crescent Lord opened his eyes and said nonsense.

This time the Crescent Lord was clearly lying, he knew very well what was in the bottom two floors of the pyramid, where a large number of ancient monsters were sealed, most of them escaped from the ruins of the Arcane Empire, and after being suppressed by the army led by the Desert Emperor, all of them were imprisoned in his tomb, becoming funerary objects similar to war trophies.

After cleaning up the tomb on this floor, the number of bandages on Chen Yue's body increased a lot, and there were even a lot of Mithril-level bandages, and accordingly, he also killed a lot of Mithril-level mummies.

During this period, the Crescent Lord and they once again killed several soldiers, and even Angelia and Anne could not lift the severe curse on the soldiers, so they could only watch them be drained of their vitality by the curse, and finally they were very aggrieved and weakened to death.

Arnold, the leader of the sand lizard cavalry, was getting more and more angry, and he was even more desperate in battle, and he vented the anger in his heart.

This made Chen Yue couldn't help but look at the other party a few more times, but then he didn't pay much attention to it.

Although Arnold was about to break through the bottleneck and become a hero-level professional because of his anger, it was a pity that this kind of strength still belonged to the category of miscellaneous soldiers in Chen Yue's eyes, and it didn't arouse much interest in him at all.

"There is only one mummy tomb on the seventh floor of the underground pyramid, and there are four burial chambers on the sixth floor, and the number of mummies in each burial chamber is as high as forty, so will the next floor be the same?"

When Angelia thought of this, her face suddenly turned very pale, and her eyes were different when she looked at the dark entrance in front of her, which was the passage to the fifth floor of the pyramid.

"Since we have no intention of giving up halfway, we can only move forward." Chen Yue smiled slightly, his attitude of being calm and unhurried also infected others on the scene.

However, only Angelia and Anne truly admired Chen Yue, but the crescent moon lord and the wizard who had been silent since coming to the pyramid were contemptuous in their hearts, secretly thinking that you would not have this attitude after a while, and the fifth layer of the pyramid would not be as easy to pass as above.

There are many things that can make Chen Yue feel urgent, but this does not include this pyramid full of the aura of undead and monsters.

This time, the one who walked in the front was replaced by La Suvios, but Chen Yue himself took Oni to follow Angelia and them, the crescent lord didn't say what was below, but he had already felt it, and the sound of rustling in his ears made Chen Yue understand what kind of enemy he needed to face next.

On the fifth floor of the underground pyramid, there are no more burial chambers here, and some only have long and narrow passages.

After Angelia walked for a while, she suddenly pricked up her ears and said, "Did you hear anything?" ”

"Nope!."

Arnold listened carefully to the sounds nearby, and there was no sound other than the sound of the team walking.

"Really? Maybe I misheard. Angelia frowned, the voices were now gone, and she had only heard them once, unsure what they were doing.

Oni wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chen Yue with her eyes.

Since Angelia could hear it, Oni must have heard it a long time ago, after all, she was a legendary-level dragon, and her senses were many times stronger than Angelia's.

"The hosts! That stuff is disgusting. ”

Although Oni didn't speak, she expressed her meaning with a contract, those things were really disgusting to her, and even Chen Yue couldn't accept this type of undead.

The narrow passage gradually widened, and the surrounding walls gradually changed, indicating that the party had entered a special area.

After Chen Yue looked around the surrounding environment, he immediately found that the passage here was actually made of shadow stones. This kind of rock, which can only be produced in areas with extremely rich shadow energy, can slowly release the natural shadow energy in it after being collected, and is the best breeding ground for breeding and strengthening the undead.

Most of the residences of the high-level officials of the realm of the undead are built with this kind of shadow stone, and even the Shadow Spire of the Council of the Dead in the City of the Dead, the high concentration of shadow spar used in its main body is a kind of associated ore of shadow stone.

Shadowstone is technically a crystallized form of Shadowstone, possessing countless times the amount of Shadowstone's shadow energy. It is only associated with small amounts in Shadowstone Mine, and is a very expensive magical ingredient, costing several times more per gram than Mithril.

Even the Desert Emperor couldn't afford to use a large number of Shadow Crystals, but the Shadow Stones around him alone were already worth a fortune, not to mention that this was just the tip of the iceberg. According to the shadow aura that Chen Yue felt, the fifth layer of the pyramid was almost entirely composed of shadow stones, and the number was already so large that it was compared to ordinary rocks.

"Presumably, the Desert Emperor has discovered the Shadowstone Vein, otherwise how could he have such a large number of Shadowstones." Chen Yue muttered to himself in his heart, and only this reason can be explained.
