Chapter 191: Only in Troubled Waters Can You Touch Fish

Mu You stood in front of the mountain wall, looking at the narrow and deep cave entrance in front of him.

Take out a hand-drawn map from your pocket and review it again.

After confirming that all the details had been memorized in his mind, Mu You put away the map, took out the troll shrine, took a deep breath, and stepped into the crypt with the shrine.

As soon as he stepped into the confines of the crypt, a cold, damp aura suddenly enveloped him, and at the same time, a suffocating air poured into his nose, mixed with the smell of trolls and rancid flesh.

Mu You frowned, enduring the discomfort and walking on the dirt path.

Sure enough, countless troll ghosts appeared one after another, one by one, with teeth and claws, surrounding him and constantly inspecting and scrutinizing.

Mu You is now wearing the skin of a mysterious person, wearing a mysterious robe, an invisibility cloak on the outside, wearing a thousand faces on his face, and he has activated deep concealment, plus the shrine he is holding in his hand...... It can be said that he has used all the current means of hiding his identity.

Of course, the effect was surprisingly good, and none of the ghosts stood in his way in the end, and Mu You passed this dirt trail smoothly.

After walking forward for more than 30 meters, it finally opened up in front of me.

Naturally, the underground tunnels mentioned in the game's text come into view.

To Mu You's surprise, this tunnel was not as rough and primitive as he imagined, but rather very finely built, with huge stones cut in strict proportions, stacked tightly, and the surface of all the stones was polished smooth as a mirror.

If it weren't for the fact that these stone walls were covered with dust and thick moss because of the long care, Mu You couldn't even believe that this was a building made by a wild monster like a troll.

Mu You soon didn't have time to pay attention to these details, as soon as he entered the tunnel area, he immediately felt the breath of many living people, coming from all directions, and at the same time, there were faint footsteps, wandering aimlessly.

Sure enough, real people enter this place and receive much more information than in the game!

Mu You wasted no time and immediately headed towards the first high-level troll tomb marked on the map.

The method of travel is the same as in the game, or missile exploration, with the time watch, to find an unguarded path.

However, this operation is much more convenient in real life than in the game.

There is no screen in the game, only a little text, so most of the extra operations need to be predicted, and the estimated time is constantly being tried.

In reality, there are far fewer scruples, just keep releasing missiles all the way, and if you hit it, you will immediately go back and stop, and if you can't hit it, you will keep moving forward.

Moreover, since in reality, you can directly see the exact location of the missile, which is equivalent to Mu You being able to know the location of the troll's stealth in advance.

Therefore, even if there is a place guarded by a troll, he can directly bypass it from the side, and there is no need to wait for the patrolling troll to walk away, and the efficiency is not the slightest.

In less than five minutes, Mu You successfully arrived at the first burial site.

But from here, the rest of the time will be in the race against the clock.

As long as the tomb has been absorbed, it may be discovered by the patrol personnel at any time, which will trigger a higher level of guards.

So the further he delayed, the more difficult his actions became, starting with absorbing the first tomb, and then he had to do it all in one go, as quickly as possible.

Mu You had already designed a route in advance that connected the nineteen predetermined tombs, and by following this route, he would be able to pass through all the high-level tombs in the shortest possible time.

Placing the shrine flat on the grave in front of him, Mu You watched the magic array quickly gush out, wrapping the entire tomb, like the mouth of a ghoul monster, swallowing the tomb in a big gulp, and then constantly squirming, absorbing the remains in the tomb into the shrine.

Mu You swept around vigilantly, and as soon as he noticed signs of patrolling trolls passing by, he immediately went back in time, took the shrine away and concealed it, and waited for the guards to leave completely, and then continued to put the shrine back to absorb it.

It's a little slower, but it's safe.

Mu You held his pocket watch in his hand, ready to play a game of hide and seek with the trolls.

However, this first tomb absorbed much faster than he had imagined.

Just a minute later, a hint came to my head.

[The Shrine has absorbed all the energy in the Tomb, containing half of the remains of the Troll Priest, and the filling progress is (1.5/20). 】

"Half a portion?"

Mu You was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around to look.

Sure enough, at this moment, the magic array that shrouded the tomb had disappeared and was withdrawn into the shrine.

Above the shrine, the second skull at the bottom had also lit up with purple light, but only one eye was shining, and the other was still dim.

"What's the situation?"

Mu You hurriedly approached the grave and carefully looked at the contents carved on the stone tablet next to him.

The owner of this tomb used to be a priest of a certain troll tribe, and the priest's identity must be considered a high-level troll, otherwise it would be impossible to condense a purple skull.

It wasn't until he saw the time of death marked on the epitaph that he finally understood a little: the troll had died too long, more than two thousand years ago, and the energy that could be extracted from the corpse had been drained a lot, and all of it was absorbed, and it was only enough to fill half of the pit of the shrine.

Seeing the cause and effect, Mu You suddenly scolded secretly, what about the cheat, the energy of the corpse can still be dissipated, don't say it earlier!

With this kind of setting, the twenty high-level tombs he found were not enough to fill this shrine......

But at this time, Mu You had no better way, the action had already begun, and there was no chance to stop, so he could only continue.

Before leaving, Mu You handled the tomb that had been disturbed by the magic array a little, smoothing out the traces of the tomb being touched as much as possible.

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible for the game characters to do, but due to the tight time, it is impossible for Mu You to restore it to exactly the same, so he can only delay the time of being discovered as much as possible.

With the experience of the first extraction, the rest went much smoother.

Still using the old method, Mu You quickly rushed to the scene of the second tomb and began to absorb it again.

This time, the tomb was a normal chieftain, and the time of death was less than a thousand years, and the corpse energy was still well preserved.

Four minutes later, the second tomb was successfully absorbed.

The reason why it took two more minutes was because a troll guard came over halfway, so Mu You had to put away the shrine and hide behind the grave, wasting some time by playing hide and seek.

After absorbing it, Mu You smoothed out the traces as usual and rushed to the third tomb.

Soon, the third ......

Block 4......

Block 5......

……

As Mu You's proficiency became higher and higher, the absorption of the subsequent tombs also went more and more smoothly.

It wasn't until he had finished absorbing the ninth tomb that he suddenly heard a furious roar in the distance.

The roar seemed to trigger a chain reaction, which soon triggered more troll roars, all filled with extreme rage.

Mu You immediately knew that this must be an anomaly discovered by a troll in a certain tomb dug earlier.

"Gotta hurry!"

Mu You immediately gave up covering up the grave and went straight to the tenth grave, anyway, it had already been discovered, and it was just a waste of time to cover it up, so he simply put all his time on robbing the tomb.

……

[You have absorbed the corpse of the Totem Summoner, progress 8/20......]

……

[You have absorbed the corpse of the Troll Wizard Doctor, progress 8.5/20......]

……

[You have absorbed the corpse of the Troll Chieftain, progress 9.5/20......]

……

The next absorption really became harder.

As more and more graves were discovered, the trolls' anger rose sharply, and the noise quickly spread from a small area to the surrounding area, and gradually, the entire troll crypt began to riot.

All the troll guards went on a frantic run to find the daring intruder. The entire tunnel space reverberated with the roars of ghosts and trolls.

The madness of these trolls has indeed caused a great obstacle to Mu You's actions.

However, he insisted on continuing to search for the tomb as originally planned.

As the scheduled tombs were sucked out one after another, finally, Mu You solved eighteen tombs in a row, and only the last one remained.

At this time, the skulls under the troll shrine were only fourteen lit up.

Counting the tombs absorbed in the previous game, out of a total of nineteen tombs that have been absorbed, only nine are complete, and the remaining ten are all mutilated, and the mutilation rate is ridiculously high.

"The last one, hopefully it's a complete one......"

Mu You exhaled helplessly, twenty tombs could fill three-quarters at most, which he didn't expect beforehand.

After this trip, the troll will definitely greatly strengthen the guard of the tomb, and he will definitely have no chance to sneak in and rob the tomb again.

After that, the elves will directly set foot on this tomb, and the first thing they will do when the time comes, will definitely be to clean up the tombs of those high-level trolls who still have their bones. In other words, once he went out, Mu You would no longer have the opportunity to absorb the corpses of high-level trolls.

But if Mu You wants to fill in the ordinary troll corpses to replenish it, he is a little reluctant, filling the ordinary corpses will reduce the quality of the urn, and besides, the ashes are easy to mix in, but it is difficult to separate them again.

Mu You shook his head, let's wait and see if there is a chance to find other troll burial places.

There have been so many trolls that have died in history, and it is impossible to bury them all in one place......

At this point, the riot in the entire crypt had reached its climax.

Countless trolls patrolled the tunnels in a carnival, and there was hardly a quiet place to find in the entire tomb.

And Mu You was already struggling at this time, and there were constantly trolls skimming over his body.

He was almost trying to survive in the cracks, moving forward little by little with difficulty, if it weren't for the time pocket watch, which provided him with enough fault tolerance, Mu You would have died hundreds of times by now.

In the last stretch of the road, Mu You tossed for half an hour before finally arrived.

Now this defensive intensity has almost reached the limit of his stealth, and if he upgrades again, he will not be able to move at all.

So Mu You had already made up his mind to retreat after absorbing this last one.

As a result, when he came to the last cemetery, he was dumbfounded.

At this moment, in front of the tomb in the corner, there was a troll standing straight in place, as if he was guarding the tomb.

This is a troll axeman, with a green face and fangs, and unlike the generally thin troll warriors, this troll is covered in strong muscles, blood-colored tattoos, and carries a giant axe in his hand, and two short spears pinned to his back.

[Level 15 Troll Berserker: Attack 100-135, Health 9500, Mana 500, Abilities: Soul Purification, Spear Throwing, Berserk Bloodline......]

Level 15, the level is not too high, and the name is not a high-level troll, just an ordinary troll warrior, but this is the first person Mu You has met who is guarding a cemetery without moving, Is it fishing?

The other trolls are already out there in a hurry to become ants on a hot pot, so they're just fishing here, okay?

Mu You was helpless, so he had to hide and wait on the side, just hoping that this guy could leave quickly after resting enough, and don't delay him to rob the tomb.

However, after ten minutes of waiting, the troll still stood motionless, like a wax figure.

During this period, there were many alarms outside, and even a few trolls came nearby, shouting at it, as if they wanted it to go out and patrol together, but they were all ignored by the other party.

Now Mu You kind of understands that this guy doesn't seem to be fishing, but is seriously guarding the tomb behind him.

Mu You's face was a little strange. Aren't all trolls wild monsters, and an ordinary soldier can actually behave so rationally?

But the more this is the case, the more interesting Mu You becomes: This tomb, shouldn't it be buried some big man among trolls?

To be able to guard the tomb of such a loyal and sane troll, the tribal chiefs in the tomb had not been treated like this before.
