The second floor of the mine is only a quarter the size of the first floor, and the entrance and exit are on the east side, except that one is on the cliff and the other is under the cliff.

It was through the entrance on the cliff that the vindication and the others entered the second floor.

Descending the wooden ladder in the shape of "Zhi", before reaching the bottom of the cliff, I found that there were more than 10 guild members patrolling below, as if waiting for the zombies to come back to life.

Judging from the badge of the blue sky and white clouds, the other party is a person from the "Juyi Hall".

These 10 or so people are all warriors and Taoists, and there is no mage, which is enough to prove that mages are very unpopular in team upgrades, judging from the equipment, the opponents are only between level 22-25.

Seeing someone coming down, one of the warriors at the head motioned for everyone to continue, while he kept an eye on the three of them.

The defender had He Chen's reminder, plus he had confirmed that there was no "Corpse King Palace" on this floor, and he was not interested in delaying here, so he smiled at the other party and Duan Shaohui protected Du Xiaopan, who had the lowest qi and blood, one after the other, and walked towards the exit not far away.

The warrior on the other side was obviously also a personal spirit, and he was not deceived by the appearance of the defender's weakness, judging from the equipment, he knew that these three people were hard stubble, so he kept a high level of vigilance.

The two sides staggered each other on guard in this way, and there was no unpleasantness.

They followed them through a narrow tunnel and through a wooden door to the third floor of the mine.

Geographically, it's just below the first floor.

In terms of area, it is even larger than the first floor.

The overall structure is "device".

Four large square spaces are arranged in the four corners, with a wide circular passage in the middle, each of which is connected to the middle circular passage by a small tunnel of different shapes.

The current position of the three of them is the huge space in the upper left corner of the word "device".

The overall environment here is no different from the upper two floors, it is also dark and damp, and there are abandoned ore piles, abandoned wooden barrels, wooden racks and other tools everywhere, and even some low-purity ores are discarded in the corners at will.

There are almost no ordinary miners in the depths of the mining area, so the probability of producing a good mine is still very high, and digging some ore to sell back can also relieve the economic pressure of the divine hero in disguise.

And those that are discarded are all ores with a purity of 5 or less, which is not to say that the ores of purity 5 are worthless, and if they are thrown on one layer, they will be picked up in minutes.

It's just that the space of the Divine Hero's "backpack" is limited, and it is better to bring back a piece of ore with high purity if there is that place.

Two scattered teams of more than 10 people are chartering and upgrading here, namely the "Honor Team" and the "Broken Gold Team", and they should often mingle here when they look like they are familiar with each other.

Although the free space here could still accommodate three squads, the Vindicators did not stay, and only said hello to the two scattered squads and walked through here, turning into the circular passage in the middle.

The vindication vaguely remembered that the eastern part of the mining area connected to the "Hall of the Corpse King" was a vast space like this, which was very consistent here.

Moreover, he remembered that the entrance to the "Corpse King Palace" should be on the passage, so as soon as he came up, he went straight to the circular passage in the middle.

Although his impression was vague, he believed that if he was near the entrance, he would be able to recall the starting point with his keen senses.

There was no one in the passage, the zombies were quite dense, and they used the previous method to run all the way, and the vindicators were doing the work of a nurse while keeping an eye on the surrounding environment, for fear of missing the entrance.

…… Three days later, they circled around the ring and returned to the starting point. In addition to absorbing a large amount of chaotic energy, he didn't even see the shadow of the best equipment, and the clues of the "Corpse King Palace" were even more clueless.

The vindication decided to go down the next floor, and since the exit was in the square space in the lower right corner, the three of them had to go back to the old way.

The passage that was cleared three days ago is now full of zombies again, and the defender thinks that if he doesn't have to look for the "Corpse King Palace", it is really a good choice to stay here and upgrade!

On this day, Du Xiaopan set fire to it as usual, and at the same time pulled more than 50 zombies to shuttle through the wall of fire, Wei and Duan were hidden not far away, and they couldn't absorb energy if they were far away.

After a while, about half of the zombies fell in flames, and the other half were dying.

Just when everyone thought that there would be no accidents, an extremely fierce evil aura surged from all directions towards the location of the three people.

The aura was so powerful that it was about to condense into substance, sending a powerful whirlwind through the passage.

The three of them in the whirlpool were like falling into hell, and their ears seemed to hear countless heart-rending roars and wails.

The defender was horrified in his heart, and this feeling was ......

Could it be that the "Corpse King Palace" is near here!!

When he looked closely, he realized that he had misunderstood.

The extremely powerful evil aura came and went faster, and by this time it had all been submerged in the body of a zombie.

The zombie was already crumbling, but now it was as excited as a chicken.

Not only that, but its toad-skin-like disgusting skin gradually became smooth and moist, and its shriveled muscles gradually expanded and plumped like balloons......

In a short time, he transformed into a bald burly man more than two meters tall and full of muscles, if it weren't for the blue-gray metallic skin that was too different from ordinary people, this figure comparable to that of Mr. Bodybuilder would definitely make countless women unpleasant to eat and unable to sleep at night.

It is the top existence in the mining area, a monster at the strength level of the little sect master, and the culprit of the zombification of tens of millions of human corpses - the corpse king!

The corpse king that appeared under his nose solved a puzzle for the defenders, that is, the corpse king did not appear out of thin air, but was composed of corpses and the evil energy just now.

If there had been no explosion or landslide more than a thousand years ago, there would never have been a corpse king now, and there would have been no zombies without a corpse king.

But with this doubt comes more confusion.

First, the source of evil energy.

Zombies also belong to the undead monsters, the kind of dark energy absorbed by the undead monsters when they are resurrected, the defenders have felt it in the ancient tombs, it is a kind of breath that has always existed around them, faint, and cannot be experienced without careful perception.

And this energy just now was evil, intense, and unfamiliar aura that he had never experienced.

Second, what kind of species is the Corpse King?

Judging by its more perfect body than most humans, it is by no means an orc or a half-orc.

But the vindicators were sure that it was definitely not a Terran, because it was bare between its legs and had no genitals.

The predecessor of the skeleton was a half-orc, the predecessor of the skeleton elf was a half-beast warrior, the predecessor of the zombie was a shipwrecked miner, and what was the predecessor of the corpse king?

It's been two years since his debut, and it's the first time he's encountered a monster that can't be called.
