Black balls of light flew through the rain, leading the charr towards the ruins of the city.

As the distance shortens, the mottled and ancient walls of the border town gradually zoom in view. The walls were washed by rain, and there were still clear traces of war on the surface, with arrow holes carved out by strong bows, and ravines carved by giant axes and great swords.

Tivanton's location was significant, as three major trade routes converged and north into the vast Kra Sands Sea, once the territory of the ancient Arcane Empire

To the west, two trade routes branched off, one was the Moon Sea Highway and the other passed through the Shadow Valley, both of which eventually reached the shore of the Moon Sea. Historically, Cormier and Sambia have repeatedly used force for Tifanton, and this territory has changed hands several times. However, now that Tifanton has become a dead place, even Waterdeep, which is far away on the shore of Sword Bay, has heard the rumors and sent a team to investigate.

Charles scurried through the rain, following closely the black ball of light. [Magic Painting] was tied behind his back, and the whole person was wrapped in a waterproof cloak, so the appearance was a little bloated.

The dead city shrouded in dark clouds looked even more eerie and terrifying, filled with deep darkness and shadows, and Charles glanced at the city from afar, his heart tightened, and he quickly turned his gaze.

The Dead City is like a giant beast that devours any living being.

As the black ball of light approached the Tivanton Wall, it suddenly changed direction and floated along the ancient wall towards the mountain range in the rain curtain. Charles was secretly relieved to see this, if the ball of light went straight into the city, he didn't know if he would follow.

At the corner near the mountains, the ancient city wall collapsed for a while, the ball of light crossed the ruins, and Charles jumped into it with broken stones.

A large cemetery comes into view.

This is the most remote and inhospitable outlying part of the city. Outside the cemetery, the abandoned church of Zang Yuya has a corner of its roof faintly exposed in the torrential rain.

"You found Tifanton."

The minimap only lit up a small patch.

The system prompt followed, and strictly speaking, the Necropolis was also considered an area of Tifanton.

During the torrential rain, the cemetery was in shambles, most of the tombstones fell in the muddy water, and Charles looked around and even saw several cemeteries collapsed, but there were no dead people and bones inside.

This discovery made Charles's heart sink.

"It may have been converted into an undead by a negative energy force field."

"Or maybe the necromancer did something."

Charles's mind turned, and he paused, following the ball of light to the high ground of the cemetery.

A noble cemetery was built on high ground, and it seems that the title is not low, the cemetery is paved with hard and flat stones, and trees and flowers are planted around it. Although there are drainage ditches on both sides of the cemetery, this rainstorm is so rare that the rainwater accumulates into a stream and tumbles down the stone steps of the cemetery through the half-hidden tomb door.

The black ball of light did not move, hovering in front of the half-hidden tomb door, gradually disappearing into the rain.

"Hoo ......"

With a light breath, Charles knew that the tomb door might be connected to the underground, and some of the corpses of the Great Cemetery were missing, and they might have been transformed into monsters guarding the passage.

Grasping the light steel shield, he first put the flail back into his backpack, and with his right hand free, he opened the heavy stone tomb door completely, and Charles started and walked inside.

Rumble.

The water washed over the boots.

The tomb door turned out to be a slight downward ramp, and Charles reached into the collar of his armor with his right hand, grabbed the 'Blind Eye' pendant, and gently spat out a activation spell from his mouth.

"Buzz"

Mystical power soaks through the palms of the eyes of the Eye of Geush and then swells towards the Shire's eyes.

"[Gush's Vision] has been activated."

"Gain 60 feet of dark vision for an hour."

With this row of words, the darkness receded in Shire's vision like a tide, and the interior of the passage was unobstructed.

The walls of the passage are paved with masonry, and the prayers and frescoes on them have become blurred. There is no doubt that the Temple of the Radix is hidden deep underground.

After activating the dark vision, Charles carried the flail and the light steel shield and explored down the passage.

After about a hundred paces, a stone platform appeared in the darkness around the corner, where the rainwater poured into the burial chamber was silting. Several sarcophagi were scattered on the platform, the lid of the coffin was halfway open, and the smell of the rotting corpse could faintly come out

"Sure enough, there are undead creatures!"

Without throwing out a [Detect the Undead] (One Ring) magic spell, Charles could also smell the rich dark aura that wrapped around the sarcophagus by perceiving.

He counted six sarcophagi in all, and he didn't know what undead creatures were lying inside. Out of an abundance of caution, Charles replaced the flail in his right hand with a wooden emblem and approached the platform in small steps.

Click.

The sarcophagus, unsurprisingly, was shaken.

The half-covered lid of the coffin was completely opened, and six ghouls, who emitted a foul smell, jumped out of the sarcophagus one after another, screaming and pounced on the charles.

"[Ghoul] (Strong), Level: 6, Health: 45/45, Chaos and Evil Creature, Beware of Their Bites!"

Ghouls are more powerful than skeletons, with 13 strength and 15 agility. However, the panel stats of the undead will be adjusted according to their main body. For example, a ghoul transformed from a professional must be a lot stronger than a human civilian ghoul, and it may also have an elite template.

However, these 6 ghouls are just ordinary humans, and their decomposing bodies are covered with fragments of clothing. Seeing this, Charles threw the emblem back into his backpack, and the 'Deep Sea Frost Flail' appeared on his right hand instead.

Dealing with just six mobs doesn't require wasting daily dispels. Even if these six mobs become strong in the negative energy circle of the dungeon, they are still just mobs.

"Bang!"

With a flick of the flail, it slammed into one of the ghouls closest to him.

The chain hammer flew away, and the oncoming ghoul let out a scream, and the already rotting body was smashed into a large hole by the chain hammer, and a layer of fine ice crystals spread from the hole to the ghoul's body.

The ghoul fell to the ground and was crippled, not dead but also crippled.

"Shield Slam!"

Charles's eyes condensed slightly, and when he threw out the flail, the light steel shield on his left glove slammed into another ghoul. The undead monster's strength was suppressed, and it staggered back a few steps, shaking its head and looking dizzy.

Clang. Clang.

At this moment, there was a blast from Charles's side and back, and it was four other ghouls who surrounded him, constantly attacking him with sharp fingers.

The outer layer of the waterproof cloak had been torn into strips of cloth, but the ghoul's biting attack didn't cause the charr to lose even a single amount of health. Because the defensive bonus provided by the 'Eagle Feather Armor' is so terrifying that the ghoul's melee attack cannot break the defense.

Xia Er was as steady as Mount Tai, the corners of his mouth hooked a cold arc, and he continued to shake the 'Deep Sea Frost Flail' in a low voice!

"Bang ......"

The hammer turned into an afterimage around the priest, and the four ghouls around him fell back in screams, several strings of damage floating above their heads.

What followed, of course, was a one-sided beating.

Ghouls have no level advantage, no attribute advantage, as long as the charr pays attention to protecting his head, undead monsters cannot cause damage to him.

A few minutes later, the last ghoul is also knocked down by the flail.

"Killed [Ghoul] (Strong)."

"Earn 300 universal XP."
