Chapter 8: The Tomb of the Dead
As if to verify Salina's guess, when Karel and his party turned a corner along the purple light-filled passage, the walls on both sides cracked, and a group of mummies covered in cloth rushed out, waving their black-light claws and scratching at the living people in the passage!
"Go and die for me again!" With a loud shout, Salina wielded two giant axes with large wheels and directly launched her charging skills, killing the mummy like a meat grinder.
Generally speaking, heavy weapons like giant axes and giant swords are not bladed, so there is a famous saying that heavy swords have no blades and are not skillful, but Salina is different, what she pursues is that heavy axes are sharper, and she spends almost 4 hours a day maintaining her weapons, and the girls in the blue rose joke that their head takes care of those two axes as if they were their boyfriends.
Then again, then maintenance is not without benefits, such as now - Whirlwind Slash! - With the terrible whistling sound of the heavy axe, the four mummies that Salina faced were cut in two like rotten firewood, and before the corpses could hit the ground, another axe came roaring, and the half of the body that was still floating in the air was cut into two pieces, and then, with the inertia of the axe swing, the wind struck! Salina spun around, the giant axe in both hands raised high, and slashed down! "Boom!" With two huge roars that were barely audible, the two more mummies were split in half vertically, and then shattered alive.
Almost instantly, the attacking mummy was killed by Salina alone like chopping melons and vegetables.
"Awesome!" Seeing such a fierce Salina, Karel also had to admire, and Liara was a few of them, and they were even more little stars in their eyes.
"Humph!" With a sniffle, Salina snorted, then, "Poof! With a thud, he pulled out the great axe from the stone without a single scratch and walked back.
At this moment, with a slight "poof" sound, Salina suddenly stopped with a shocked face, and even the giant axe in her hand fell to the ground, and the faces of Karel and the others also changed, because from their perspective, they clearly saw several purple-black strips of flesh wrapped around Salina's body!
"It's a demon corpse!" Elaini shouted.
However, faster than Elaini's shouting was Karel's movements, Karel came directly behind Salina with a shadow step, and happened to collide with a flying demon soul corpse, in an instant, Karel's pupils shrank to the size of a needle's eye, his mind was highly concentrated, and the passage of time seemed to slow down, and then, his left hand clasped the ribs of the demon soul corpse, and his right hand grabbed the dagger and stabbed the skull of the demon soul corpse, which was where the soul fire was, and at the same time, Karel also saw clearly what the so-called demon soul corpse was.
Obviously, this thing is the skeleton of a troll, covered in filthy bones covered in black spots, but these ghost sons still have wriggling internal organs in their bodies! What is entangled in Salina is obviously the intestines of the demon soul corpse!
After smashing the soul fire of the demon soul corpse in his hand, Karel used his left hand to throw the monster in his hand into the darkness of the passage, "Tom! "Gotcha, smashed over several demon soul corpses that were sprinting over. At this point, Karel did not step forward, but swung his dagger and cut off all the intestines wrapped around Salina's body, and easily pulled the intestines wrapped around Salina's neck, and then gently tapped her back.
"Ahem!" Like the sound of the drowning person being rescued, Salina, who was suffocated and almost fainted, suddenly recovered, without saying a word, shook off the meat strips on her body, picked up the giant axe on the ground and rushed towards the demon soul corpses, but this time, it was impossible to deal with it as easily as the previous mummies.
First of all, the Demon Soul Corpse is agile, almost more agile than normal humans, and then, the Demon Soul Corpse's claws are cursed, and the person who is scratched by the claws will slowly turn into a new Demon Soul Corpse, and finally, because it is an undead creature, it has a high resistance to physical attacks, so it is very disadvantageous to deal with these guys in close combat.
But Karel and Salina are not weak, in an instant, there are four or five demon soul corpses put on the ground by them, or they are unscathed, only the back of the head has a big hole, this is Karel did it, stalker, flash behind and kill with one blow. Either the bones will be chopped up and the rot will be splattered, which is Salina's style.
"What are you here for? Watching a play? Seeing the other guys staring at him blankly, not moving, Karel couldn't help but burn his head and shouted.
"Ah~oh" After being woken up, Elaini and several people woke up like a dream, pulled out their staffs, took out their longbows and began to attack, and Elaini's Void Lord also staggered forward.
For a while, the slightly dark passage was illuminated by the light of the spell, the fist-sized fireball technique, the basin-sized flame explosion technique, the burning technique that snaked on the ground, the poisonous snake nail stab, the arcane shot, the explosive shot, countless ballistic attacks smashed into the demon soul corpses like a torrential rain, in the face of this fierce attack, Karel and Salina did not dare to hold it up, and they all shrank in the corner to avoid being injured by mistake.
Don't look at the demon soul corpse is very powerful in melee combat, but in the face of such a powerful long-range attack, it is not enough, although the greasy internal organs can be deflected on the attack of the blade, but, in the face of the flame burning spell, it is like a torch stained with oil, boom! It burned out as soon as it got started.
The blazing flames twisted the soul fire in the skull of the demon soul corpse, and the demon soul corpse ran like crazy, these guys were like relay batons, igniting their own kind one by one, and after a while, the air was filled with the stench of burnt protein.
"Oh my God, this smells." Liara pinched her nose and waved her palm vigorously, trying to shake the stench out of the air.
"Don't bother, this is underground, and the smell can't be dispersed, so it'll be fine later." Karel said as he dug up the undead rot on the corpse of the demon soul.
"After a while, the taste will be gone, huh?" Liara looked innocent.
Karel: "You'll get used to the smell after a while." ”
Liara: "......"
Although the undead creatures are a headache, the loot produced by the undead creatures is very rich.
As an ugly monster that has been corrupted and twisted by the dark element, most of the items produced on its body are some dark elemental items, such as the shroud on the mummy's body, which may have been just ordinary linen, and when wrapped in the corpse and soaked in the dark element for thousands of years, it will become a high-quality Shadow Demon Cloth, which is suitable for cutting the equipment of the Shadow Priest, Warlock, or Necromancer.
And the demon soul corpse, although there is only a pair of internal organs left, but, the essence of the things are all in these internal organs, open the intestines they use to attack, and then push it hard to the end, it will pull out some green bubbling viscous pus, this is the undead rot liquid, this kind of thing is also very useful, when forging weapons, use the undead rot liquid to quench, it will make the weapon have a toxin effect, or use it to make a space pocket, or use this thing to make medicine, the most indispensable underwater breathing potion, The irreplaceable neutralizer is it.
Of course, the undead rot fluid also has to be purified, and the purity collected in the intestines of demon soul corpses is generally very high, while those ordinary zombies, crypt lords, abominations, and ghouls collected often have some impurities that need to be purified before they can be used. These two loot tend to be the big heads, of course, there are also undead products such as soul cores, or the claws of demon soul corpses, but this claw is not very sold, after all, there are not many alchemists or forgers who can handle such items.
In such a battle, everyone earned at least seventy or eighty gold coins, and seeing that the harvest was so abundant, the women, who had always had a worried face, also began to talk and laugh.
Of course, it's all about exchanging this money for weapons, equipment, potions, or something.
Looking at the way they chattered, Karel also remembered his girlfriend, before the crossing, he was like this, accompanying his girlfriend to go shopping, but now......
"Alas~" sighed, Karel shook his head, leaving these things behind, but at this moment, followed by the glow of the purple ever-bright lamp, Karel saw a text on the wall, a very long text.
