Chapter 15: Re-exploring the Pitch Black Tunnel, Clothing Advancement! (below)
If the atmosphere around the dark tunnel is dim, then the style of the enclosed area is eerie. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info there is still magic oil lamp lighting in the quarry, but here...... Sorry, it's only ghost fire.
In fact, many years ago, the closed area was not called a closed area, it was a very normal passage to the third quarry, but one day a passing miner dug down somewhere in this section of the road out of curiosity, and ended up digging a corpse. And this corpse is the later famous thousand-year-old corpse king. Soon after the Millennium Corpse King was dug up, he turned into a boss-level monster of the necromantic system, killing in a closed area, killing rivers of blood, and he transformed all the miners who died at his hands into zombies. The horrific record led to the fact that no one dared to enter the closed area for a long time.
Later, a guy who is not afraid of death broke into here, but he did not find any trace of the thousand-year-old corpse king, only the inexhaustible zombies. As a result, he entered the third quarry, which had not been visited for a long time, and excavated a large number of rare attribute stones, and made a fortune after coming out. As a result, adventurers from all over the continent heard the wind and went to the Third Quarry to find treasure. Over time, the rare ore in the Third Quarry is also close to depletion, and no one has come here for a long time to hunt for treasure.
“…… So these glowing ghostly fires are the ghosts of miners or adventurers who have unfortunately died here over the years? Kurto said curiously, pointing to the clump of ghostly fire on the rock wall next to him.
"Is there really such a thing as a ghost? It's terrifying...... "Miru is a girl after all, and her resistance to things like ghosts is naturally low, and now her legs are starting to tremble.
"What are you afraid of, ghosts and such things, if they are rubbed by fireballs, they will be directly seconded, and they are not afraid of Captain Roque even if they come." Kurto looked at him with a sneer, as if to prove his boldness, and deliberately walked forward with a ghost fire and poked his finger.
The ghost fire seemed to be conscious, and when it was poked by Kurto like this, it instantly sped up and floated away, and Kurto immediately stopped: "Hey, brother, don't run, let me touch it a few times!" Kurto chased after the ghostly fire.
"Hey, Kurto, don't run around!" Roque is also helpless against the protagonist of this child's heart, who makes himself a nanny sent by the goddess?
The crowd quickened their pace and gradually entered the depths of the passage.
"Haha, I've chased you, see where else you can run." Kurto stood beside a corridor that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, and let out an arrogant laugh as he looked at the ghost fire that seemed to be driven to a dead end.
But just as Kurto was about to catch the ghostly fire, he suddenly felt as if he had been hit by something.
"Oh, who, you don't have long eyes when you walk! It's so dark that you don't know how to put an illumination? Kurto complained.
But the next second he didn't dare to complain, because he saw a dead face covered with maggots and rotten eyes.
"Ahh I'm sorry! I'm leaving! Frightened by the zombies that suddenly appeared behind him, Kurto fled back to the crowd almost as fast as ever.
But you can't blame Kurto, because the "image" of this zombie dude is really not flattering, you say you run naked, run naked, and the meat is almost rotten and you are embarrassed to come out to meet people? Hey, that big bug that's about the size of a loaf of bread, can you please not get in and out of your eyes? It's scary, you know?
The two ladies here, Milu and Minter, turned pale, Milu directly lay on the side and began to vomit, Minter was not much better, even the lighting technique was almost interrupted, and finally Roque spoke steadily: "Don't worry, it's just an ordinary zombie, I can solve it with a fireball technique." ”
After saying that, Roque began to chant the fireball technique, and the solemn sound of the incantation broke the silence here, and there was a commotion not far away.
"Fireball!" As the incantation was chanted, five huge fireballs flew towards the zombies that were slowly walking towards the crowd.
"Boom!" At this time, the advantages of fire spells are reflected, for this kind of dark necromantic monsters, in addition to the light system can cause huge damage, the fire system is not inferior at all, almost instantly the zombies are ignited, and the only few bones left can not withstand the destructive power of the flames, and they quickly disintegrate in a burst of crackling firecrackers, leaving only a piece of charred black residue on the ground.
However, before everyone could be happy, the sound of objects colliding with stones on the side of the road was heard not far away, gradually approaching everyone's area.
Roque frowned: "It seems that Kurto's movement just now was too big, and it woke up those sleeping zombies, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly." ”
Kurto hurriedly helped Milou, who had just vomited and was completely weak, and left the place with Rokmint quickly.
……
"It should be almost safe to walk here."
"Phew, I really don't want to come to this place a second time, it's disgusting and scary, and the air quality is also very poor, I'd rather be slapped a few times by the monster bear than be touched by that zombie, the bile is about to vomit out......" Milou spat bitterness at Roque.
"Well, I know it's a bit of a headache to run into a monster like a zombie as a melee fight...... But isn't there me as a magician? You just have to watch from the sidelines, and I'll take care of the heads-up, okay? Roque comforted Milou helplessly.
"That's so, but I always think Uncle Roque has some ulterior motive for bringing us here......"
"Huh? Haha how is that possible? Am I that kind of person? Roque was shocked, this girl's sixth sense was a little keen, and she discovered that her motives were impure so quickly. Because Roque was afraid of scaring them, he didn't tell the team that the main purpose of this trip was to trouble the boss of the closed area, the Millennium Corpse King, if he knew that his group was here to find excitement, it is estimated that the expression on their faces would not be so relaxed now......
"By the way, where are we now?" Minter relieved himself and asked.
Roque took out the map and compared it carefully, and was embarrassed to find that ...... Due to the fact that the map is so old, it seems that it is a bit different from the current location, which means that they are lost.
"What? Are we lost? Milu almost fainted.
"So if we're unlucky, we might have to spend a few days here before we get out?"
"Ahem, it won't be so unlucky...... There aren't many forks in the road here, and you can almost get out after a few more walks. "Roque kind of regrets that he didn't buy a tourist costume for the team, this situation is the time for tourists to show their talents, what? Lost? It doesn't matter, the Tourist's Class Skill - Instant Return Trip can instantly teleport everyone in the party back to the nearest town waypoint, which can be said to be a dresser traveling at home, killing people...... No, the must-have outfit for the Treasure Hunt.
"Hey...... Do you feel like something is wrong here? Suddenly, Minter spoke.
"Huh? What's wrong Minter? Roque asked.
"I felt the familiarity...... It seems to be ...... Chris!!! Mint exclaimed.
"What? Big Brother Chris is here too? ”
"You can't be wrong, I feel the aura of his space-time sword qi, and it's not far from here." Minter closed his eyes and sensed carefully for a moment, pointing his finger in one direction.
"Chris seems to have a fight with the monsters, let's go over and help." Roque is actually not surprised that Chris is also here, because according to the plot, Chris was controlled by Satorius here, and the first plot battle with the protagonist took place.
Counting the time, it seems to be about the same......
When everyone rushed to the battlefield, Roque almost exclaimed, wasn't the huge body that was crushing Chris the target of the millennium corpse king this time? It's really effortless to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, it seems that the opportunity for his group to advance has arrived!
Roque held the staff in his hand, his eyes exuding an astonishing battle intent.
