Chapter 289: The Corpse in the Hall
This road cannot be walked!
An Xu didn't know if there were other horror things in this room, but judging from the glimpse, it was clearly an underground creature nest, and even An Xu didn't know if it could continue to go underground.
Perhaps, these sand monsters lived deep underground, until they dug into this room and transformed it into a lair.
It wasn't until the palace collapsed that the sand monsters, affected by the dark energy, began to burrow out of the ground and attack the surrounding human settlements incessantly.
The more An Xu thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely, but the most important problem was that this room must not be entered.
Once the creatures inside are disturbed, they will definitely not be able to defeat them, and he and Hongluan can only escape back to the ground immediately, and they may not be able to get rid of the pursuit of those creatures.
Until the token is recovered, An Xu can't leave here.
"Turn back, there should be another way!"
An Xu slowed down, slowly retreated, and then walked towards the other end of the corridor, where they had to find the token and evacuate before being discovered by the sand monsters inside.
After exploring for a while, the two of them really found another passage, and after entering, they found that there were more and more strange creatures in the area in front of them, and all of them were very aggressive.
When he walked down the stairs, An Xu's forehead was already sweating, although most of them were second-order or third-order demon beasts, but they couldn't hold a lot.
Occasionally, a fourth-order demon beast would appear, which made the two of them even more tired of parrying.
A fourth-order demon beast is already equivalent to a five-star warrior in some aspects, and in such a narrow terrain, strategy and tactics are all useless, so they can only rely on their strength to break through, and high-intensity battles make the recovery speed of combat energy far from catching up with the speed of consumption.
He glanced at Hongluan and found that her face was as usual, Hongluan was also not easy when fighting, but she was able to maintain her endurance, I really don't know how she did it.
An Xu didn't dare to rest, he was very worried about encountering the sand monsters in the group, if they couldn't kill them all, then they were likely to warn their companions out of the nest, and if they were caused to fall out of the nest, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Two forks appeared at the bottom of the stairs, and they didn't look the difference, but An Xu noticed that there was no sand on the ground on one of the roads.
The appearance of sand in the underground palace is not an incomprehensible thing, those sand monsters come and go frequently, and their bodies are always covered with a layer of yellow sand, and they will fall everywhere when they wander.
And this passage without sand means that the sand monsters will not get into it at will, so there must be something unusual about this passage.
Many creatures have a strong sense of territory, and the sand monsters dare not enter, I am afraid that there are things in them that they don't want to provoke, maybe other monsters, perhaps, some strange items.
Thinking of the dark object, the latter is more likely.
Anyway, he didn't know where to go now, and An Xu decided to take this path without sand, if that dark item was inside, it could just destroy him.
Maybe they can bring these creatures back to their senses, and they won't have to work so hard.
However, this road will definitely not be as calm as it seems, and there must be many dangers inside, so An Xu and Hongluan are extremely vigilant, and even An Xu's divine shield has not been put down.
It was very quiet inside, and even the figures of other demon beasts had disappeared, but the soul suppression sword in An Xu's hand was getting brighter and brighter, and it was as hot as a torch.
That thing, not far ahead.
Finally, after exploring some distance, a large door appeared again, and this door was open, and it was possible to see that inside was a dark and empty hall.
It's such a hall, but it gives An Xu a great sense of oppression, feeling that there is something extremely dangerous waiting for them inside, which makes people's hearts beat faster.
He took a deep breath, then set up the Divine Machine Shield in front of him and Hongluan, and moved in step by step.
Cold!
The temperature in this room was noticeably different from the outside, and the temperature inside was frighteningly low, and you could even see the white mist coming out of your mouth.
The corpse of a strange creature lay in front of An Xu, like a monkey, but it was much larger, because the temperature here was so low, its corpse showed no signs of decay, and it was unknown how long it had been dead.
Right next to the corpse, there were many scattered things, most of which only appeared on the ground, and An Xu also saw a string of jewels.
I don't know if it was already in this palace, or if the creature got it from somewhere else.
Suddenly, An Xu's heart moved, remembering that the king of the desert had said that a long time ago, humans often went in and out of the desert, and in order to obtain protection from the storm, some people would pay tribute to it.
Over time, the King of the Desert had possessed a treasure trove, and when the ground collapsed, a strange creature with agility stole many of its belongings while it slept.
Could it be this creature lying on the ground?
An Xu cautiously stepped forward and searched carefully, hoping to find the token here, but disappointed, he did not see the shadow of the token.
At this time, Hongluan tugged at his clothes, turned his head in the other direction, An Xu turned his head to look, and saw that there was also a corpse in the corner of the wall, which was also such a creature.
It's strange, how could these creatures die here one after another?
"Hongluan, you come to be vigilant, I'll look for it first, maybe that token will be scattered somewhere!" An Xu admonished, this hall was too big, and it was pitch black, and he didn't know if there was any danger, so he didn't dare to be careless.
If it's just an ordinary hall, then why are there so many dead bodies here?
Hongluan nodded, holding a sword and standing beside An Xu, if something attacked, she could react as soon as possible to stop it.
An Xu was rummaging on the ground next to each other, there were too many scattered items, most of them were decorations that were gorgeous in appearance but actually had no use.
For example, the string of jewelry, which is also an ordinary gemstone, is actually not worth a few dollars.
There were more than two corpses of the strange creature, and the further they went, the more corpses there were, and it seemed that it was a social creature, but I don't know what caused them to die en masse.
An Xu paid attention to the corpses of these creatures, their bodies were frozen hard, and they still maintained their pre-death appearance, An Xu found a lot of wounds, and these wounds surprised An Xu.
It's too familiar, this kind of wound is clearly cut by a sword!
And as far as An Xu knows, there are really few other races in this world that can use swords except humans.
Even if it is a barbarian, or a bit, in fact, strictly speaking, it is a branch of human beings, and they are fundamentally human.
Could it be that someone once came in to this underground palace, but killed these creatures?
Suddenly, An Xu's eyes lit up, and he saw that under one of the corpses, there was a thin sheet of metal, triangular in shape, and the workmanship was a little rough, very much like a token described by the King of the Desert.
He walked up quickly, removed the corpse, picked up the metal sheet on the ground, and examined it carefully, and it was exactly as the token described.
Got it! An Xu was overjoyed so that they could return to the surface!
As for the dark item, An Xu is not sure that he can find it, it is ominous everywhere, and it is the wisest choice to leave quickly.
When you return to the Huolan tribe and tell them the news, there will naturally be a master of the tribe who will find a way to deal with it.
"Let's go, let's go back!" He said to Hongluan, turned back, only to find that the door had closed at some point.
There is no wind in this underground palace, and the door cannot be closed by itself, and the only explanation is that something has moved.
The vigilance in An Xu's heart was immediately raised to the highest point, and he raised the Soul Suppression Sword in his hand.
