Chapter 55: Necropolis
Fortunately, the difficult road is not long, and after entering the depths of the cave, the space suddenly becomes clearer.
From being able to curl up alone and barely get in and out, to a person who throws off his arms and doesn't feel hindered, it soon becomes a point where even if several people walk side by side, they don't feel crowded.
In the blink of an eye, the original narrow dog cave has been transformed into an open underground palace.
If you shine a light on the fire, you can barely see the cave.
The walls and floors have been treated to look neat
There is a clear feeling that this is man-made and not natural.
Consistent with the legendary description of the 'Sleepless Land' where the lich hid.
The air in the space is crisp, you can smell the strong smell of dust, and you can feel the faint flow of air.
Before entering the cave, Bahada was also worried that the space would be filled with toxic gases.
Now it seems that the worry is unnecessary.
The place where the lich sleeps is different from what was expected, it doesn't seem to be a completely sealed space, and there should be at least one exit from the outside world besides the gap discovered by the pig-headed people.
This is how the air will flow.
If you put a torch close to the wall, you can see strange patterns on the wall.
Judging by the experience of Bahada, it should be a script.
But the Bahada had never seen such writing.
Because I couldn't understand it, after a few glances, I was no longer interested.
The cave ** is very clean. In addition to the thick dust accumulated over the years. I haven't encountered anything strange yet.
When it comes to the Lich's territory, Bahada's first reaction is that there must be a lot of evil here.
Corpses, totems, evil material......
Also, like the mysterious facility called the 'Dungeon', there are also native monsters inhabited.
The Bahada group needs to destroy the monsters first, and go through difficulties and dangers along the way before they can finally meet the lich.
After all, this kind of development is very popular, and it is already considered a royal content.
It's a pity that Bahada guessed wrong.
Not only are there no evil things here, but there are also no original monsters.
The Bahada group moved slowly and encountered no obstacles. Not to mention monsters, not even a spider or a mouse have been encountered.
Smooth pouring silky degree.
None of the circumstances can make one associate this space with an evil lich.
This made Bahada can't help but think that 'the pig-headed people have found the wrong thing'.
It's an ancient ruined ruin, not some 'sleepless place' where the Lich exists.
Even if this is truly the 'Land That Never Sleeps', the Lich may have long since disappeared.
The last time a lich appeared was a long time ago. At that time, the pig-headed king had not yet been born.
After all this time, the lich's energy may have been exhausted and died.
Perhaps even the dry bones have been weathered, and there is no trace of any existence left in this world.
The further you move forward, the stronger this thought becomes.
Bahada's mood has improved and his confidence has grown.
The thought of not having to face dangerous lichs made Bahada breathe a sigh of relief.
Although it is a pity that the pig-headed king's plan to win over the lich has failed, this is what does Bahada have to offer.
Never before has the Bahada been so happy that its mission has failed.
Just when Bahada Jue's adventure would be fruitless, and he was already preparing to persuade the Pig-headed Clan to return the same way and listen to the reprimand of the Pig-headed King, General Bai, who was walking in the forefront, suddenly reacted violently.
Holding the L-shaped branch in both hands, General Bai shouted excitedly.
"There was a response. Just ahead, the reaction was violent. It's definitely a lich. We've found the Lich. ”
General Bai's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing Bahada's blood pressure to soar instantly.
My heart sank, and I felt like something was broken.
Bahada felt dizzy, and after looking through the faint light of the torch, he was surprised to find that the branch in the white general's hand was trembling faintly.
As if there was life, the two branches swayed from side to side in General Bai's hands, and after a tremble, they pointed in the same direction and completely stabilized.
This phenomenon is very weird, if it is not General Bai himself who is playing ghosts, then there are really ghosts.
Bahada hadn't had time to gather his thoughts before he could get out of his mouth, 'Don't make such jokes at times like this'....... Something appeared in front of the squad.
You can feel it even if you don't look at it.
Because that terrible sense of presence and oppression is so strong, it is impossible to ignore him.
Bahada was in a cold sweat, and the elite warriors of the pig-headed clan who were not afraid of death around him were trembling, instinctively retreating, and the hand holding the torch shook out the afterimage.
Barely suppressed the huge uneasiness and fear, he raised his head slightly.
What was then seen was a pale white skeleton.
It's the bones of a human being. Dressed in almost rotten clothes and holding a staff....... and the soul-stirring red light in the eye sockets.
Because it is a human skeleton, it is not huge in size.
The Bahada and the pig-headed tribe are also accustomed to death.
Corpses and bones are not strange.
But this thing is different.
It's obviously a dry bone, or a dry bone of a weak human being. But he exudes a very bad smell.
The breath made Bahada feel nauseous, feeling that his lungs were pressed and he couldn't breathe, and he felt a strong sense of resistance for no reason.
Resist approaching him, resist looking at him, and even resist knowing that he exists.
That is the rejection that is engraved in the soul.
It is the reaction of all living beings to this particular being.
It is the laws of the world that are at work.
Even if you haven't heard of the legend of the Lich, when you face this being, you will clearly know that 'he is not good'.
There's no way to get it wrong.
Presence alone can kill people.
This is the lich that Bahada and the others are looking for, and they have not escaped.
It's a pity that after seeing the real guy, Bahada just wanted to run.
Compared to Bahada, General Bai was extremely excited.
You can see that he belongs to that kind of fanatic.
Facing the lich that constantly released a strong sense of oppression and ominous aura, General Bai spread his arms, trembling with excitement.
He almost fell to his knees and begged the lich to take him as his younger brother.
Bahada frowned, but admired his courage.
After saying a lot of sycophants with emotion.
General Bai began to tell the purpose of the trip.
"Please join forces with us. We form an alliance to destroy the evil Demon King army together. Wait until you win the Demon King Army and rule the forest together. You can have as many souls as you need when the time comes. ”
After General White finished speaking, the lich also spoke.
"Dhy!"
It's a pity that I don't understand the content.
The well-informed Bahada had never heard such a language. No, it should be said that it is not known at all whether this is a language or not.
Do lichs really talk? Or is it just the voice of a mere soul?
General Bai said a lot more.
And the lich still responds with something he can't understand.
Seeing that the red light in the lich's eyes was getting stronger and stronger, General Bai also began to become uneasy.
