Chapter 125: Ruins and Corridors
For this reason, the crescent lord even increased the reward for the task, in order to prevent Chen Yue and them from giving up halfway, and even with Angelia, their reward also increased, not only restoring the original amount of gold coins, but also promising to choose any treasure from his treasure vault as a reward.
Angelia was about to give up the mission, but the Crescent Lord's new reward made her very excited, and the other party's treasury happened to have something she needed very much, which was the most important reason why she was stationed in the Crescent Oasis Church, which was related to the future of her apprentice Anne.
However, she didn't agree immediately, but looked at Chen Yue, waiting for his answer.
Chen Yue didn't look at the new task reward offered by the Crescent Lord, he just wanted to enjoy the fun of adventure, so he naturally agreed to it.
"When you go back, you may not even be yours in the Crescent Oasis, let alone the treasures in the treasure vault." Chen Yue sneered in his heart and said.
Angelia's master and apprentice looked at Chen Yue and they agreed, and they were relieved in their hearts, and they also agreed.
With these people, Angelia and the others also have the courage to continue, otherwise no matter how high the reward is in front of her, she will not agree to come down, as the priest of the Temple of Life, she cherishes life more than anyone else.
Angelia didn't realize that before they knew it, Chen Yue's position in her heart had subtly reached blind trust, and she believed that Chen Yue would definitely be able to complete the task safely with them, just like the previous two crises.
The team finally arrived at their destination at noon the next day.
During this period, there were no more accidents, and the road came peacefully, which made the Crescent Lord and their divine strings tense for a day in vain.
However, Angelia finally lived up to Chen Yue's expectations and successfully cooked a piece of barbecue wolf meat, but as Chen Yue himself estimated, the semi-finished wolf meat he handled could not be recognized by the system.
Once raw and cooked, when Angelia has mastered the essentials of cooking, she will be able to cook barbecue wolf meat completely by herself.
"Is this it? There's nothing special about it! Anne looked at the empty desert road around her, except for the ruins that were often left on the road, and the scenery she saw along the way was no different.
Chen Yue's blue eyes under the goggles swept over this ordinary-looking ruins, and soon he found an abnormal phenomenon, this ruins were actually in quicksand, but it was very strange that it did not collapse, as if there was a giant holding it down.
"It won't be buried under the sand like Cameron's mage tower, right? This time we don't have an army of spiders, and we don't know when we're going to dig a tunnel. Chen Yue thought about it in his heart, but the Crescent Lord didn't have much drinking water, so he probably wouldn't waste time digging tunnels.
Really.
The Crescent Lord ignored the others and walked straight along the edge of the ruins, soon reaching the northeast corner of the ruins.
According to the map in his memory, the Crescent Lord found the location of the passage they had buried, and then he pointed to several sand lizard cavalry and said, "Dig this place for me." ”
Now only the sand lizard cavalry are alive, and they have to take care of all the work, including this kind of rough work, which was impossible to happen before, they just need to watch the infantry work, and now they can only reluctantly start digging work.
The sand lizards under the cavalry were experts at digging holes, and without their own efforts, the sand lizards alone dug up a large stone slab in just a few minutes.
"Open it, the entrance to the ruins is right down there." The Crescent Lord said with a frown, looking at the large stone slab reminded him of his last failure.
The crescent moon lord was so annoyed that he had worked so hard to dig out the tunnel that he almost died on the road this time, and the combination of these unfortunate things made him feel as if he had been cursed by something.
Together, the sand lizard cavalry moved away from the large stone slab pressed against the mouth of the tunnel, revealing the entrance of a pitch-black hole behind it that seemed to be capable of devouring everything.
The Crescent Lord glanced at the entrance of the cave and ordered, "Prepare torches and ropes, and let's go down this tunnel." ”
Chen Yue, as an adventurer, was naturally placed at the front, and he didn't say anything, and after letting La Suvios protect Angelia and them, he held the rope tied to the wall of the ruins and skilfully slid to the bottom of the tunnel.
For Chen Yue, the tunnel in the dark was no different from the daytime, allowing him to see the surrounding environment clearly at a glance, as well as the obviously different passages in the distance.
Chen Yue lit the torch and stuck it in the wall of the tunnel, which was fixed with wooden planks, and then signaled to the crowd above that it was safe below.
Except for the two sand lizard cavalry who stayed at the entrance of the cave, everyone else entered the tunnel in turn, and those huge sand lizards naturally remained on the ground and were taken care of by the sand lizard cavalry who stayed behind.
The group walked along the tunnel, past a ruined wall, and officially entered the secret passage to the emperor's tomb.
This secret passage is a corridor left over from the construction of the mausoleum, and is supported by hard granite on all sides, and there are stairs on the ground that stretch down one block after another, with a thick layer of dust on it, leaving a series of clear footprints when one steps on it.
In addition to Chen Yue's footprints, there are many messy footprints here, and there are even many abandoned weapons and armor, which still look very new, not like they were left from before, but like something left recently.
Angelia looked at the abandoned weapons and armor on the ground, and her heart was full of uneasiness, and she knew that they were left behind in the panic of fleeing for their lives, so there must be something ahead that made these soldiers so out of shape.
"Crescent Lord, we've all come down, and you shouldn't be hiding it, what is this place? And what's up ahead? Scared these people out of their armor! ”
Angelia finally couldn't help it, this was already very different from the content of the mission that the other party said.
"The undead! Lots of undead! The crescent lord also knew that concealing it now would only be harmful, so he said generously: "These are the workers and slaves who built this ruin, as for why they became undead, I think you priests of the Temple of Life know better than us. ”
Whether it is the Temple of Life or the Life Balance, they are no strangers to the undead, of course, this does not refer to the undead in the realm of the undead, but the undead who are buried in the ground because of the chaotic energy. This undead spirit has no intelligence to speak of, and will attack all living beings in its senses.
