"Bruno's Tiger? But how could a level 4 mercenary group appear here, did it want to force its way into the hill of death, or to find treasure? ”

"But that's not right, there doesn't seem to be any treasure in the vicinity worth their adventure."

Sulu slowly drove his horse forward, recalling the previous scene in his mind.

As he passed by the mercenaries, he stumbled upon the Tiger Head Badge on their bodies.

If it was an ordinary badge, perhaps Sulu wouldn't be surprised.

But...... It was a yellow tiger head with a sharp arrow, the emblem of the Tiger of Bruro of the Level 4 mercenary group.

This mercenary group is not simple, as it is the only level 4 large mercenary group in the territory of the Salol Empire, and it is only one step away from the highest level 5 assessment.

Now that these guys are in this place, one has to be suspicious.

"Such a behemoth, I'd better mix less, the most important thing now is to collect enough soul points."

Sulu groaned for a moment, then threw away the doubts in his heart.

Although he was very curious about Bruno's Tiger plan, he didn't want to lose his life because it was a mercenary group comparable to an army.

As Sulu pondered, the horses had already carried him to the entrance to the hill of death.

Looking around, I saw that there was a dense jungle all around, and even the road under my feet had reached the end, and there was no way out at all.

If it were an ordinary person who came here, he would definitely think that he had walked into a dead end, and then turn around and leave with a scolding scold.

Of course, this is just the reaction of some ordinary people.

"Sure enough, just like in the game, the fog of death obscures the true direction of the entrance."

At this time, Sulu jumped down from his horse, looked around, and said with some sighs.

Not long ago, he had only brushed this copy once with a few newcomers, and he didn't expect to experience this copy in person this time.

That's right, this is indeed the entrance to the Hill of Death.

It's just that due to some kind of shielding magic array, this place is generally not visible to anyone, and only if you know the correct way to pass through that entrance.

Those necromancers are not stupid, although they are not afraid of the invasion of any force, but no one wants the entrance to their secret base to be known to the whole world.

There are only two kinds of people who can go inside and then come out:

Someone who keeps secrets, or...... Corpse.

“…………”

Sulu tied his horse to the nearby woods and walked slowly to the end of the road.

Since he was going to a "world of the dead", he didn't plan to take a horse with him, as that would be a burden to him.

"It should be around here, look for it again...... Got it! ”

Reaching the end of the road, Sulu bent down, his hands flicking through the grass as if searching for something.

After a while, a small broken stone tablet was revealed in the grass that had been removed.

This stele is what Sulu is looking for, the key to the hill of death.

If you look closely, you can clearly see that there are ancient and obscure words depicted on it, and even those rigid old scholars who come here may not be able to discern the meaning of the words on it.

But for Sulu, who has participated in 90% of the game's plot, this is not a problem.

"The song in the fog guides the path of the soul and avoids the spread of war to ............"

Sulu knelt down on one knee, adjusted his throat, and slowly read out the contents of the stele.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind blew through the surrounding jungle, rustling the surrounding jungle as if the whole forest were answering the previous prayer.

"Open on, Paradise for the Dead!"

However, Sulu ignored all this, and instead looked up at the jungle ahead.

When I looked up, I was no longer in front of a dense jungle, but a narrow entrance to a canyon, and next to it stood a tombstone that read: Welcome to you, followers of death.

"Although I am a little anxious to come to this dungeon at the first level, there is no way, after all, only here can I simply collect soul points."

Sulu casually put on his hood and slowly walked towards the entrance of the canyon.

Although the entrance to the hill of death was not guarded by any creatures, he decided to hide his face first to be on the safe side.

It's not hard to disguise yourself as a necromancer, you just need to be silent and pretend to be dead.

Of course, you must not communicate with any necromancers.

As Sulu continued to move forward, the illusion around him slowly changed.

The sky darkened inexplicably, as if it had fallen into darkness, and the passage behind him gradually disappeared, turning into a gray mist of nothingness in the blink of an eye, and a miserable white corpse was emerging from the ground.

It can be clearly seen that as there are more and more corpses on the ground, their race has also increased.

There are humans, trolls, all kinds of monsters, it's just a mass grave.

After a while, Sulu's vision suddenly widened.

The dim sky, the endless black soil plains, countless tombstones standing above the earth, and the oppressive horror filled every corner.

Feel...... It's like walking in hell.

"Sure enough, it's a little different from the game, it's much more realistic......"

Sulu observed his surroundings and muttered in a low sigh.

Coming to the level 20 entrance area of this dungeon, he immediately noticed the difference, the cold aura eroded his body pervasively, it was almost like being in an ice cellar.

At the same time, Sulu also had an extra vigilance in his heart.

This is the real world, and once you die, it's a real death, and there will be no chance to start over.

The most important thing now is that he must find the area that uses similar bug methods to harvest souls as soon as possible, after all, that route is not easy to find, especially if there is no virtual navigation map.

"It's a bit of a headache, and I hope I won't get lost."

Sulu looked around, then followed the route in his memory and walked slowly forward.

His steps were cautious, as if he feared that something might be alarmed.

But because there are so many corpses on the ground, it has reached the point of a mountain of corpses and a sea of bones, and every footprint will sound a creaking sound.

Suddenly, there was a muffled bang.

Su Lu was shocked, and quickly stopped, vigilantly looking around with the corner of his eye.

Now that he's taken the safest route, are there any other guys hiding around here?

As time passed, the noise became more and more rapid, and even the corpses on the ground began to shake, as if something wanted to emerge from below.

"No, you can't stay here, you have to hide."

Su Lu hesitated for a while, but finally chose to dodge, after all, he could only be regarded as a level 1 novice at this time, and coming to this dungeon was already an extreme exploration.

So Sulu's figure flashed, and he quickly lay down behind a rock, and covered himself with the corpses on the ground.

Although this seems a little weird, it is also a helpless move.

After hiding, Sulu's eyes were fixed on the area not far away where the sound was coming from.

So what is it exactly?

Could it be the resurrected spirits of the dead?

In this paradise of the dead, the spirits of the dead emerge from the ground at every moment.

Then they have only two ends, relying on their abilities to become one of the lords of the land, or to become summons of necromancers.

Just as Sulu was thinking, something strange happened not far away.

With a muffled bang, a pitch-black arm suddenly stretched out from the corpse, and then propped it up to the ground, as if trying to pull its body out of the corpse.

Knock knock, the strange sound of impact continued to pass through the ground.

"What is that, ghoul, or abomination? But it doesn't look like it on its arm. ”

Sulu looked at the arm suspiciously, his mind constantly thinking about the matching monster.

Judging by the shape of the arms, it should be some humanoid creatures.

But because of the black skin with strange veins, Sulu didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

At this point, the position of the black hand changed again.

I saw an uproar, and the corpses on the ground suddenly exploded, bursting out of a cloud of hazy dust, and then a figure of more than two meters crawled out of that place.

When the guy came out from underneath, he stood motionless like a statue of Mune.

"Huh? How to be human. ”

When the dust floating in the air dissipated, Sulu was taken aback by the guy's true face.

A strong body, dark skin, no hair on the head, no pupils with the whites of the eyes at all, and strange lines all over the body.

Although this guy feels very strange to him......

But there is no doubt that this guy is a human corpse.

"Hmm...... The corpse of a human being, though now undead, is at least not a lich or a black knight, otherwise I would be dead. ”

After waiting for a while, Sulu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

From the corpse's subsequent reactions, it was known that he was not in danger for the time being, and would not even react to anything around him.

So now he can get rid of this guy and move on to the rest of the journey.

Just as Sulu was about to leave, a translucent virtual panel suddenly popped up in front of his eyes:

【Shadow Follower】

Stamina: 100

Dexterity: 60

Intelligence: 0

Grade: Black Iron Grade 1

Ability: Ununlocked

Description: A retinue that has mastered the power of the Shadows! ---- from the sound of the shadows

Status: Not yet confessed

"Shadow Followers are tank-type undead creatures, but it's rare for Shadow Followers to be able to take on a full human form...... Hey, haven't confessed yet? ”

After reading this information, Sulu couldn't help but have a look of shock on his face.

If this state appears, it means that this guy has been summoned by someone, but he hasn't had time to confirm the owner yet.

Other words...... This guy is ownerless.

Thinking of this, Sulu couldn't help but feel excited.

If this guy can become his summon, it will definitely bring him huge defensive power to level 1, and the rest of the journey will become safer.

Don't be cowardly, just do it!

And judging by the state of that guy, it shouldn't be dangerous for him.

As soon as such a thought crossed his mind, Sulu slowly rose from the ground and walked towards the shadow retinue.

Merely...... He didn't seem to notice a unique mark hidden on the back of the Shadow Follower's neck.
