Despite the overhead light that illuminated the cavern ahead, the lionon and his friends still couldn't see the distance.

This feeling of helplessness makes the lion's palms ooze cold sweat, and the feeling of terror in the face of darkness is an emotion that everyone will have, even the brave lion man on weekdays can't avoid it.

The sound of the wind in the cave roared in their ears like an evil spirit, and the occasional drop of water dripping overhead could startle them.

If it weren't for the lure of money and the warm glow of the light cluster above his head, the lion man might have thrown down his tools and turned around and fled.

The lionman didn't know how long he had walked, and he couldn't pay attention to the distance he had traveled in detail in his tense condition.

He didn't know why, his friend became very silent at this time, just walked silently in front of the lionman, the lion man glanced at the wizard behind him with his peripheral vision, and he followed everyone from a distance without saying a word.

The strong oppressive atmosphere made it difficult for the lionman to breathe, the damp and sticky air made him shiver, and he felt that his spirit was being withdrawn from the cave, and the reason in his mind was passing away little by little.

Just when the lion man was sweating profusely and was about to collapse mentally, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear, and it seemed that the group had finally walked out of the narrow passage and walked to the interior of the cave.

It was only now that the horror that had been trapped in the lion's heart completely disappeared at this time, and the lionman noticed that his friend also exhaled deeply, and it seemed that the reason why he didn't speak just now was because he must have been very uncomfortable in his heart.

The floating light flew above the open field under the control of the wizard at this time, and the dazzling light spread out in all directions, revealing the open space hidden in the cave to the eyes of the three of them at once.

The lionman casually looked ahead, and this action made him see a scene that he would never forget.

What I saw in front of me was the skeleton of a huge humanoid, and even if it fell to the ground, it was much taller than the lion-man, who was nearly two meters tall.

This huge skeleton seems to have been here for a long time, its surface seems to be weathered, but it also reveals a strange luster.

Just looking at this skeleton, the lionman was about to lose the courage to face it, let alone continue to move forward.

The wizard sneered, pointed to the skeleton and said, "You two take a closer look at the ground under this skeleton, is there a box that is pressed by this skeleton? ”

The lion man was a little strange, this skeleton looked a little scary at first, but it was just a dead thing, why did the wizard take the two of them to this cave to dig up this box?

Suddenly, the human friend next to the lion pulled his sleeve, pointed to the potholed ground and said, "Look!"

The lion man turned to look to the side, and suddenly his mane stood on end.

Near this huge skeleton, there are human and animal bones, and even some uncorrupted corpses, but the weapons and equipment on their bodies are still intact, and they look like mercenaries who died a few days ago.

Could that be the case? A possibility came to the lionman's mind, that is, these people were also the mercenaries hired by the wizard to dig the box for him?

"Hehe, big man, you are right, these people are indeed mercenaries who came with me a few days ago, but they were not hired by me, but my companions who traveled before, and it is because of their sacrifice that I was able to discover this strange treasure.

The words are so clear, you also know what happened. I'm not here to hire you to watch the show, so get on with me!"

Then the wizard walked to the entrance they had just passed, the only way out of here, and suddenly ignited a fist-sized gray ball of fire from the wizard's hand, and the wizard threw it casually, and a piece of wall that was hit by the fire ball was instantly burned into a large pit one meter wide.

When the lion and human friends saw such a magical witchcraft as a wizard, the rebellious spirit in their hearts suddenly disappeared without a trace, and they dared not resist the wizard's orders.

The two talked a lot about the possibilities before leaving, but they didn't think that they would encounter such a time when there was no way out, the two of them looked at each other, and they could only continue to do it like this.

Seeing that the only way to retreat had been strictly blocked by the wizard, they also gave up the idea of escaping, and could only go forward, if the mission could be successfully completed, then they could also get enough money.

The lion and his friend were very tacitly holding their tools and pulling out their weapons, and the wizard had not told them in detail about the cause of his companion's death, but judging from their years of experience, there must be something wrong with this.

However, the reality was beyond their expectations, and until the two of them approached the huge skeleton, several enemies in ambush had not yet jumped out to attack them.

Did he really guess wrong? The lionman was a little dazed when he saw the box close at hand.

The lionman looked up at the massive skeleton as he carefully picked up a shovel and pickaxe to carefully clean up the rubble and dirt that had piled up on top of the box.

While the lionman was working, he was afraid that the huge skeleton would suddenly come to life, and the lionman decided that as long as he noticed the slightest movement of the huge skeleton, he would immediately run away from here quickly.

However, when the lionman finally dug the dusty box out of the ground beneath the skeleton, the box did not make any strange moves.

The lion man breathed a sigh of relief, dropped his tools, and carefully picked up the precious box.

Suddenly, a strange wave suddenly emanated from the box, and then a purple glow emitted from the inside of the box.

"Watch your back!"

A friend's warning sounded, followed by a cold wind from behind the orc.

The lion-man had already straightened his body and fled from here as soon as he encountered danger, and with the quick reflexes he had developed over the years, the lion-man turned his body around and a rusty knife slashed through the lionman's back in a thrilling way, taking away a clump of hair from his body.

The lionman immediately pulled back, and his human friend did not panic, and immediately brandished his long sword and fought the sneak attacker who attacked the lionman.

The lion man took the opportunity to take a look and was shocked to find that it was the wizard's dead companion who attacked him! Aren't all the wizard's companions completely dead? Why can they still come back from the dead and attack a few of them!

Obviously, no one could answer his question for him, not only the lionman's friends, but even the wizard in the rear had been attacked by his former companions, and seeing the wizard's panicked appearance, he should not have expected such a situation.

Not only did the group of living corpses come back to life, but even the skeletons scattered all over the ground woke up.

They staggered to their feet from the ground as if consciously, picked up a broken weapon or a leg bone and struck at them, ordinary swords slashing at them didn't hurt at all, only knocking them back a few steps.

Seeing this, the lion man hurriedly packed the box in the bag he carried with him, and took up arms to help his friends deal with this group of terrifying monsters.

"It's so difficult!"

The friend slashed down a living corpse that had come from behind, but after a while, the living corpse with a broken thigh crawled up again, crawling towards the two with difficulty.

"How did these things come to life?

The wizard unleashed a ball of fire that burned the body of a living corpse, after which the corpse never stood up again, and it seemed that only the wizard's sorcery could inflict damage on these monsters.

The wizard shouted at the lionman at the top of his voice: "Don't talk nonsense, get the box and come back to me quickly, after a while, it will be difficult for a few of us to get out!"

The lionman also knew that this was not the time to fight with the wizard, so he hurriedly fought the monsters with his friends while retreating towards the entrance in the distance.

Seeing that the two of them were about to come to the entrance, the mysterious box in the bag suddenly began to shake violently.

As soon as the lion man was not paying attention, the box fell out of it and fell to the ground.

Years of weathering had made the box so fragile that it immediately shattered to pieces, and a purple stone rolled out of it.

The purple stone was finally re-exposed to the world after the vicissitudes of time, and in an instant, the stone bloomed with scattered purple light, and the wizard and human friend stopped in place after being illuminated by the light, motionless.

However, the light did not affect the monsters, and they walked towards them with a slow pace.

For some reason, the Lionman was not as affected as the other two.

Even though he felt his body sluggish, he could barely move.

The lionman immediately picked up the stone from the ground, and then something miraculous happened, the restraint on his body disappeared without a trace, and he regained control of his body.

Now that the monsters had walked near the wizard and their friends, they could only stare at the monsters with frightened eyes and watch them get closer and closer, but they were helpless, and the lionman immediately picked up the purple stone and put it on his friend's body, but it had no effect.

The monsters were already close at this time, and the lionman could only take up arms to protect his friends, but as the monsters increased, the lionman gradually began to be powerless.

The fear of life and death haunted him, the rotting faces of the monsters, and the foul smell made him sick, and the lionman finally broke down under such pressure, and he threw down his weapon to bypass the wizard blocking the road, abandoning his trusted friend and fleeing outside the cave.

The last desperate look of his human friend will never be forgotten for the rest of his life.

As he escaped from the cave, there was a deafening sound of the cave collapsing behind him, and soon the cave disappeared from his eyes, and the wizard and his friends were buried in the earth under the cave, never to come out of the cave again.

From then on, the lion man gave up his job as a mercenary and began to wander the streets, until another street brawl revealed that the purple stone could still be used.

The lionman gradually discovered the wonder of this purple stone, which could not only increase his strength several times more, but also inadvertently slow down the reaction speed of his enemies.

With the magic of this purple stone, he successfully defeated one gang after another, until he provoked a nobleman of the kingdom, and he could only flee in embarrassment, forming a gang of thieves in the distance, and gradually developed into a powerful force of thieves.

The lion man stared at the purple stone, it was only by relying on it that he could become the leader of the thieves, he must not let others easily see it, it was too troublesome to carry it on his body, so he put it under the seat just in case.

The lionman gave the purple stone a serious look, then carefully hid it in a hidden space under the chair.
