Chapter 289: Blood Oath
The three hexagram arrays are set one by one, forming a complex polygon, there is no doubt that this is a catastrophic force field, dedicated to purifying the power of death and redistributing them to maintain the operation of various magical facilities, such as the psychic tower, such as the necropolis, in short, this is a magic pattern that a top necromancer must master, to some extent, the catastrophic force field is like a heart, controlling everything, once this heart stops beating, The whole world supported by the catastrophic force field is completely finished.
Therefore, Lin Li honestly retracted his hand...... Because Lin Li knows that what is hidden under this mine cave is probably not as simple as a treasure, the catastrophic force field and the curse gem appear at the same time, maybe this is the burial ground of a top necromancer, this is not a joke, the burial ground of a top necromancer means all kinds of powerful magic equipment, means the necromancer's lifelong research experience, and even means some powerful summoned creatures that have fallen into a deep sleep, this is the same, which one is not better than a little gold, silver and jewelry?
It's not difficult to strip the Grudge Gem from the Cataclysmic Force Field, but if it does, it will most likely deprive the trio of the opportunity to continue exploring, and perhaps because of this, the trio will miss out on a real magical treasure trove, which is the most regrettable thing to be.
One last glance at the suspended curse gem, Lin Li gritted his teeth, and pushed open the hidden stone door as soon as he stretched out his hand.
"......" before pushing open the hidden stone door, Lin Li never thought that the difference between the inside and outside of the stone gate was so big, it was like two worlds, one side was a quiet stone room, and the other side was a gloomy cemetery.
Walking into this huge underground cemetery, Lin Li even thought that he had returned to the lair of the dragon of destruction Azadas, the entire cemetery was built in the empty belly of the mountain, at a glance, I was afraid that there were hundreds of tombstones standing there, and in the center of this thousands of cemeteries, it was a magnificent ancient mausoleum, Lin Li glanced at it from a distance, from the style of the mausoleum construction, it should have been built a thousand years ago, because at that time, the High Elf Dynasty had just fallen, and many things in the world of Anriel, such as works of art, such as buildings, there are still some shadows of the dark ages.
The faint phosphorus fire hovers over the mausoleum, just like a miserable green firefly, looking at it from afar, only to see a green and secluded, the empty mountain belly from time to time there is a wind blowing, sometimes high and sometimes low, like a whimper and like a moan, people can't help but feel creepy.
The three of them walked between the tombstones, and there were mutilated bones everywhere along the way, and the hollow white forest added a bit of horror to this ghostly place.
The mausoleum in the center of the cemetery, probably the only exception in the entire mountain, looks magnificent and solemn, the three of them stand in front of the mausoleum, and they can also see a ray of light coming out of the mausoleum...... "If there is really any treasure, I'm afraid it can only be hidden in it......" Lin Li stood in front of the mausoleum, turned around and asked the two behind him: "Do you want to go in and have a look?" β
"Of course!" Gray didn't even think about it.
"That'...... Then let's go in and have a look......" Although Isera was a little apprehensive in her heart, but Grean had already spoken, how dare he express his objections, in case he angered the middle-aged fat man, it was not a fun thing.
"But this ......" After Grean finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little weak: "Will it be the same as the outside?" β
"There shouldn't be any problem with this door...... Lin Li took a closer look at it to make sure that there were no magic patterns around him, and then he walked forward with the two of them.
This time, Lin Li was indeed not wrong, there was really no problem with this door, just a slight push, and it opened with a soft sound.
And then...... I saw a piece of light shining through the mausoleum, and for a moment, Lin Li only felt that his eyes were full of gold, as if he was bathed in the noon sun.
"God......
Lin Li is not a person who has never seen money, when he was in the endless world, the wealth in his hands can only be described as astronomical, even if he came to the world of Anriel later, he also had a good time, and an auction of arcane potions swept more than one million gold coins, so that Gray had to help him apply for a crystal card of Shining Gold and Silver Village.
But that's just numbers, after all...... Lin Li never thought that when these numbers became real objects, they were so shocking, coming in from the gate of the mausoleum, it was an empty hall, which was about the size of a football field at a glance, and the mountains of gold coins were scattered in the hall, some more and some less, but they all looked like piles of piles, just like hills, a brilliant gold, red, green, and green gems dotted in the middle, creating a dreamlike light in the empty hall...... "Damn." , we sent a ......" Gray's pupils slowly dilated, and when he looked at the mountains of gold, a pair of small eyes had turned into two gold coins, and he saw that his face was red and he was short of breath, if he hadn't been tightly grasped by Lin Li on the side, I am afraid that he would have rushed over excitedly.
"Be careful, there are weird ...... here" Lin Li looked at the mountains of gold, but frowned inexplicably.
"What's weird?"
"Hell, I don't know ......" I don't know if it's because of the environment, in this weird mausoleum, Lin Li feels that he is always a little restless, even if there are mountains of gold in front of him, the feeling of restlessness has always lingered, as if there is a pair of eyes hidden in the dark, quietly watching him.
After coming to the world of Anriel, this feeling has appeared twice, once in the Nightmare Mountain Range, and once in the Valley of Shadows, although after this, nothing particularly dangerous happened, but Lin Li always believed that his feeling was accurate, even if nothing particularly dangerous happened after that, it was just because the time had not come...... All in all, it's an unsettling feeling.
And in addition, Lin Li also noticed a trace of familiarity in this golden mountain.
Compared with that feeling of unease, this familiar atmosphere is what Lin Li really cares about.
In fact, from the moment Lin Li broke through the Song of Death Demon Pattern and pushed open the closed stone door, he felt this familiar aura, it was a feeling that was almost connected by blood, even time and space could not be limited, as if it was a deep imprint on the soul, no matter how far away, once it was felt, it was as clear as in front of his eyes.
Especially when Lin Li walked into the mausoleum, this breath became extremely strong, as if a voice was constantly calling in his ears.
But Lin Li never figured out what it was that would make him feel so familiar and even connected by blood...... This trace of doubt always lingered in Lin Li's heart, until a soft sound came from the depths of the golden mountains...... "Be careful!" Almost the moment it sounded, Lin Li realized that he was in trouble, and in the mausoleum that had been closed for thousands of years, there was a sudden sound, what could it be other than that hellish undead creature?
Really...... As soon as Lin Li finished saying "be careful", a pile of gold coins suddenly dispersed, and among the gold coins flying in the sky, more than a dozen bones of Bai Sensen, holding rusty scimitars, rushed out like ghosts.
"Damn, it's these things again!" Lin Li had a headache, since he had dealt with these undead creatures in the Shadow Valley once, he seemed to be unable to dissociate himself from them, and again and again, from the Shadow Valley to Black Mountain Town, and then from Orlana to Garros, these undead creatures were like nightmares that could never get rid of them, biting behind them...... Unfortunately, there is no time for him to think about the reasons now.
When more than a dozen skeleton warriors opened the gold coins and rushed up, there were also slight noises in the several piles of gold mountains next to them, and for a while, I saw the gold coins falling with a bang, the continuous sound, as if countless locusts were gnawing at the rice fields, Ysera's face was a little pale, he had seen a lot of undead creatures, but there were so many at once, but it was the first time he saw them, look at this empty hall, if there were skeleton warriors buried under every gold mountain, I am afraid that things would be a little big...... "Quickly retreat to the door!" Lin Li raised the Firmament Staff in his hand as he reminded the two who were stunned.
"Oh......" After Lin Li's reminder, Ysera suddenly came to her senses, at this time the three of them were standing in the center of the hall, if the skeleton warriors under each golden mountain appeared together, I am afraid that the three of them would be surrounded immediately...... Gray and Ysera hurriedly retreated to the entrance of the mausoleum, but Lin Li held the staff of the sky in his hand tightly, and quickly chanted an obscure incantation, and saw the dragon's eye gem on the top of the staff flash, and a piece of fire spread on the ground.
After unleashing this Fire Wall Technique, Lin Li took a few steps back, leaned his back against the cold wall, and began to chant incantations quickly and quickly.
Since mastering a large number of core magic rules in Dawn Square, Lin Li's spell-casting skills have reached the realm of Dacheng, and now a magic below level ten is in his hands, it can be said that he can do whatever he wants, compress the spell casting time if he wants to compress the spell casting time, and change the elemental arrangement if he wants to change the elemental arrangement, if he is willing to take a small risk, I am afraid that even the tenth-level magic can complete the instantaneous ...... Such a perverted spell-casting technique, casting an eighth-level magic like a firestorm, is naturally as easy as eating and drinking, and he heard a quick and fast spell flowing out of his mouth, and countless fire dragons were already rushing towards the skeleton warriors who swarmed up with their teeth and claws.
One, two, three...... Under the continuous blow of the flame storm, it was like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and dozens of skeleton warriors were burned to ashes in an instant, and the spell casting speed of Lin Li was so fast that even those white bones had not had time to crawl out of the piles of gold coins, and under this almost sweeping magic blow, the hall that was still full of skeleton warriors just now suddenly became empty again.
However, Lin Li didn't dare to be careless at all.
At this time, he was already very sure that this was definitely the burial ground of a top necromancer, take a look, the Song of Death Demon Pattern, the Cursed Gem, and the Calamity Force Field, which one is not only a top mage can have? In such a burial ground, how could there be only low-level undead creatures like skeleton warriors?
Therefore, Lin Li's hands always held the Firmament Staff tightly.
Really...... Before Lin Li could release the fourth flame storm, there was a sudden noise in the hall, and then Lin Li suddenly found that the stone door opposite the hall had suddenly opened.
"It's going to be bad......" Lin Li felt his heart tighten at that time.
Sure enough, almost at the moment when the stone door opened, a large number of undead creatures poured in like a tide.
It's definitely a creepy scene.
Zombies, Wraiths, Skeleton Warriors, Hellbones...... All kinds of undead creatures poured into the hall like a tide, looking at it from a distance, only to see a dense patch, a thick breath of death, it was simply smoky, even if Lin Li had been in the undead Valley for seven days, even if Lin Li had seen a war of undead creatures like a torrent of death, when facing this scene, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, maybe in terms of quantity, these undead creatures are not as good as the time in the Valley of Shadows, but compared to the type, But it is definitely more than that, this is like a feast of undead creatures, as soon as the stone door opened, almost all the low-level undead creatures that can be called by name poured in...... "What are you kidding...... "Looking at the dense undead creatures, Lin Li really has the heart to die, I knew that it would be such a result, it is better to take the curse gem and run away early, I have to covet the burial ground of some top necromancer, now it's okay, let's get a human life, so many undead creatures, Even if you use ice for thousands of miles to bomb, I'm afraid you will have to bomb until tomorrow morning...... "Fei...... Wizard Ferry, what are we going to do? Ysera swallowed hard, even his intestines were about to repent, if possible, he really wanted to slap himself twice, damn, let you be cheap, the matter of the Magic Guild, you follow the fart fun, now it's okay, damn, there are so many undead creatures, one touch of you, it's enough to touch you into meat sauce...... "You protect President Gray, quit first, I'll try to delay a little longer." Lin Li quickly made a decision, with so many undead creatures, it must be impossible to do it, and now the only way is to run away, and it must be in batches...... "Nonsense, Lao Tzu doesn't need to be protected!" Before Ysera could speak, Grayan on the side scolded first, but after scolding, he suddenly realized that his current physical condition, even if he stayed, he couldn't help much, so the middle-aged fat man had to change his words: "Even if you think Lao Tzu is in the way, Lao Tzu can go first, and there should be no problem for Isera to stay and help......
"Less nonsense!" How could Lin Li not understand Gray's concern? It's just that at this time, it's really not very suitable for humility, Lin Li said to Ysera, who was a little hesitant, while indulging in the wall of fire that had not yet been extinguished: "What are you still in a daze? Take President Gray out now! β
"Oh, good ......" Ysera looked at the approaching undead creatures, knowing that she couldn't delay any longer, and at the moment, regardless of whether Grean agreed or not, grabbed the robe, and finally retreated to the outside of the mausoleum.
Seeing the two of them exit the mausoleum, Lin Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly retreated towards the entrance of the mausoleum while holding on to the wall of fire to block the undead creatures.
But at this time, something unexpected happened suddenly...... Just when Lin Li released the last flame storm and planned to leave this strange mausoleum, a black mist suddenly rose in the center of the hall, and then only heard the sound of "Kuangdang", Lin Li looked back in horror, and saw that the open stone door had been violently closed, at this moment, Lin Li's face was really white, and the large group of undead creatures in front of him were approaching step by step, and the retreat behind him was completely cut off.
"Damn, you have to force Lao Tzu to a dead end, right?" Lin Li tightened the staff of the sky in his hand, and once again began to chant the spell that had frozen for thousands of miles.
But at the moment when Lin Li spit out the first character, in the black smoke that filled the air, a tall figure suddenly appeared, looking from a distance, it seemed to be a young man in his twenties, with a black cloak, a pale face, and his body was full of elegance and calmness, just like those high elf nobles from the dark ages in the legend.
"Why is Lao Tzu so unlucky...... but this kind of elegance and calmness fell in Lin Li's eyes, but it immediately made Lin Li feel cold in his hands and feet.
Because Lin Li clearly remembered that two months ago in the Valley of Shadows, he had seen the same elegance and calmness, yes, it was the high-level vampire who died inexplicably in the end!
It was also a thick bloody gas, and it was also a strange blood-colored eyes.
This guy is definitely a real high-level vampire!
"It's a big trouble now......" Thinking of the power of high-level vampires, Lin Li couldn't help but swallow his saliva with difficulty...... This high-level vampire is likely to be the leader of this large group of undead creatures, and the moment he descends on a cloud of black mist, the entire hall suddenly falls silent, the zombies stop their low roars, the resentful spirits stop wailing in pain, and even the skeleton warrior with a scimitar in his hand seems to be restrained by some kind of force, standing there motionless, only his hollow eyes, flickering with green phosphorus fire from time to time.
The incomparably powerful aura of death emanated from the high-level vampire, just like the legendary dragon might, which was overwhelming, and at this time he had already felt that the high-level vampire in front of him was so powerful that he was probably far above the one in the Shadow Valley...... Even if he has mastered a large number of core magic rules, even if he has broken through the sixteenth level that the Great Wizard dreams of, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the incomparably powerful death power.
At this time, Lin Li could only chant the incantation desperately, hoping that this frozen thousand miles could buy him more time...... But at this time, a high-level vampire wearing a black cloak did something that Lin Li never dreamed of.
I saw it slowly lower its head, a pale face full of piety and fanaticism, and thenβit knelt down ...... "Great Immortal King, you have finally returned......
"Huh?" Lin Li was so frightened that he almost choked to death with saliva, this and this...... What's going on?
Wait a minute...... The Great Immortal King?
Could it be that this is another guy who is suspected of being a ghost?
Lin Li remembers clearly, a few days ago in Orlana's Dawn Square, the trial magician named Gala also called himself the "Great Immortal King" and said "You will use your bones as a scepter and be re-crowned as king", yes, yes, the situation at that time was almost exactly the same as now, and even the expressions on the faces of the two were not the slightest different, the same piety and fanaticism, it looked like the most devout believers in the Temple of Light!
"Could it be that Lao Tzu really looks like that immortal king?" Lin Li subconsciously touched his face, and thought to himself, Lao Tzu is not so unlucky, right?
"Great Immortal King, I offer you my loyalty on behalf of the Ruth Fallatu family!" Just when Lin Li was suspicious, the high-level vampire who knelt on his knees had already stretched out his slender fingers and lightly scratched his forehead with his sharp and long nails...... Then, I saw a wisp of blood gushing out...... "Hell......" When he looked at this scene, Lin Li almost fell to the ground with his eyes, Lin Li didn't know much about the creature of vampires, but there was one thing that Anduin had heard a few times, that is, once a vampire pledged allegiance to someone, most of them were done in the form of a blood oath.
And now, what this high-level vampire has performed is a complete blood oath.
With blood as a guide and life as a witness, make an oath never to betray, this is the blood oath of the vampire clan.
Lin Li's whole person was stunned, he knew that as long as he walked over, dipped a little blood on his finger, and smeared it on his forehead, even if this blood oath was completely completed, this high-level vampire would become his most loyal servant, even if he wanted his life, it would not hesitate to sacrifice his life.
At this moment, Lin Li really thought he was dreaming.
Inexplicably broke into a mausoleum infested with undead creatures, and inexplicably saw an astronomical amount of gold coins, all of which was already exciting enough, but I didn't expect that the more exciting was still to come, a high-level vampire at least level eighteen, actually inexplicably swore allegiance to himself with blood!
