Holy Country, Michel, Black Cave Plains.

Ruins of caves.

It is rumored to be the origin of the first dynasty "Ash", which brought the "wasteland" to an end 500 years ago.

In the countless caves and caves below the plains, in addition to the kobolds, a species descended from mutated monsters that were originally infected by the "Turbidity", there are also rumored to be the remains of the "Ash Emperor".

Anything, as long as it can have even the slightest connection with the "Ash Emperor", will make everyone crazy and rush to it.

After all, if it weren't for the feat of the Ash Emperor five hundred years ago when he unified the wasteland, integrated the forces of the entire continent, and led the allied forces of various clans into the deepest part of the "Abyss of Turbidity" to completely purify and eliminate the source of pollution...

I am afraid that the current world will still be shrouded in the fear of "turbidity" pollution, full of devastation, and all living beings are in the shadow of turbidity monsters and natural disasters, trembling and struggling to survive.

And now, even though it has been five hundred years since the "disappearance" of the "Ash Emperor", no one has ever reached the height of the original Ash Emperor, no, not even half of it, which highlights the legend of the Great Emperor.

Therefore, on the Black Cave Plains, there are rumors of the Emperor's "legacy", which attracts countless people and makes them flock to it.

It's a pity that so much time has passed, and I don't know if the "inheritance" has been secretly snatched away by a big force, or if the rumors itself are false, or if they have been transferred to a deeper underground by those kobolds.

In short, there has never been any public official information that someone has really found the so-called "inheritance" from it.

Over time, people's enthusiasm for the Black Cave Plain has finally subsided, but every year there are still many archaeologists, explorers and gathering places derived from the Black Cave Plain, and many mixed local forces and scavengers will try to try their luck in the caves.

At this moment, in a cave somewhere under the plains, a small group was winding forward.

Most of them looked ill-faced, armed with firearms, and could be seen on the back of their jackets or cuffs with a uniform "Sand Rose" logo, presumably gang members.

One of the scar men at the head of the group, as if he was a little impatient, shouted at a woman at the front of the line dressed as a standard "scavenger":

"Hey, how long will it take? We've been in this damn place for over two hours now, aren't you familiar with this area? Will it work? ”

was viciously scolded by the scar man, but the female scavenger also seemed to have a temper, and she replied to the past without any falsehood.

"Are you embarrassed to say!? It's not your broken treasure map, it's so inferior and vague, and there are even several places that are ** - it's wrong! ”

The scar man was scolded instead, his face was a little ugly, and several younger brothers behind him were also annoyed, but in the end, the scar man still gave a look, and swallowed his anger for the time being, after all, this is the best local guide they can find, whether they can find the legendary "heritage", it depends on these "rats" who are familiar with the cave.

But after that...

Jason snorted coldly in his heart at the female scavenger who was holding the torch in front of him and concentrating on the map, it was better for the mouse to stay in the gutter forever.

Dozens of minutes have passed.

Just when Jason's patience was running out...

Suddenly.

"We're here." The female scavenger leading the way in front stopped.

And Jason and the others who followed behind, at first they were happy, but then looked at the surrounding rock cave walls, and Jason was just about to question the female scavenger, where is this place like a "legacy"...

"According to the markings on the map, I should just touch one more mechanism here...", the female scavenger stretched her torch towards the cave wall and began to fumble around.

With a "click" sound.

Before the female scavenger and the others behind Jason could react, the ground under their feet collapsed instantly.

"I**-"

The feeling of weightlessness immediately hit, and the female scavenger's scolding was mixed with a "boom" sound, and everyone fell down.

After a short while, the smoke and dust cleared.

The grizzled crowd coughed as they stretched out their hands to disperse the dust, and slowly got up from the ground one by one.

Thankfully, it wasn't very deep, and most of them were only slightly injured, but it was enough to make Jason angry, but his voice had barely uttered a syllable before it stopped abruptly.

Because...

When his vision came back to light, Jason found that the place where they had fallen... It's a little different.

The surroundings are no longer ordinary rock walls, but more like a vaulted room.

On the masonry walls, there are many intricate frescoes and textures that he can't read.

Looking around the space, one can see a number of artifacts piled up here, although most of them have become decayed, with a thick layer of dust on them, and cobwebs can be seen everywhere.

But this still can't hide their former delicacy and luxury, on some of the utensils and reliefs, Jason can even see a little dark red streamer, although it is faint, but the "detector" hidden in his cuff has a clear response.

So Jason immediately understood that these were...

Doom Items!

Crazy robbery on the black market, a hard-to-find turbid item!

The turbid items alone were enough to make Jason ecstatic.

But it seems...

They're just appetizers.

All the people in this secret room quickly shifted their eyes to the deepest center, a thick and earthy place that radiated a maroon glow in the darkness...

Sarcophagus.

At first glance, the sarcophagus looks very simple, without too much decoration and carving, only some texture on the coffin wall, and it is from these gaps that the maroon light they saw before emanates from these textured gaps.

But as long as you look at it a few more times, you will be overwhelmed by the strong sense of vicissitudes on the sarcophagus, and a faint tremor will arise in the depths of your heart, as if compared with the sarcophagus, they are so small and unbearable, like ants.

The sarcophagus still stayed there so quietly.

But it has already made it clear to everyone that I am afraid that everything in this secret room together is not as important as this "sarcophagus".

Or...

It is a place stored in a "sarcophagus".

Jason gasped excitedly, his pupils dilated, his hands trembled faintly with excitement, and the turbidity detector in his arms showed that the concentration of "turbidity" in this sarcophagus had exploded, and the pointer showed the largest swing.

This means that at least the turbidity pollution of this "sarcophagus" is above grade A.

And you know, the A-class "turbid objects" have gone beyond the realm of money, and each of them has terrifying abilities, and needs to be carefully contained in the tightest containment room.

No doubt.

Heritage.

That's what they're looking for... The Emperor's "Legacy"!

Hold back the boiling emotions that want to go over and turn it on right away.

Because before that.

Jason has another thing to do.

Scar Man took out his pistol from his waist and aimed the black barrel at the female scavenger who had led the way for them.

"You... What does that mean? Irene stared at the barrel and took a half-step back.

"That's what you can see, thank you for finding the "legacy" for us, but sorry, in order to keep this secret, we can only let you stay here forever."

Jason finally tears his face and shows his hideous side to the female scavenger.

He looked at Irene's stunned expression and sneered.

"Do you think we're not going to do anything to you, at least until we go out again? Naive! After I get the inheritance in a while and absorb the "Turbidity" and become the Doom, I still need you to lead the way? ”

Irene turned a little pale under the first half of the scar man's words, because she was indeed said by the other party.

But when the second half of Jason's sentence came out, the expression on Irene's face had already turned into shock.

"What... What!? Absorbing turbidity? Doom? You are crazy! You're killing yourself! ”

It's not for nothing that a female scavenger would call Jason a madman.

After all...

Doom.

In the old era, this word was the hope of the people in the wasteland, but now in the new era, it has become a source of nightmares for everyone in major cities and countries.

It all boils down to one reason.

Since the disappearance of the Great Emperor five hundred years ago, to this day, no one has been able to perfectly control the power of "turbidity" like the original Great Emperor.

The Doomer is a fusion of humans and turbidity, and although it brings great power and ability, it can also corrode the mind and spirit, and if you are not careful, you will go berserk and become a turbidity monster.

The higher the rank of the Doom, the easier it is to lose oneself, the more destructive it will be, and the more severe it will be, and under the influence of its rampage, it can even bring back the terrifying "scourges" that were in the wasteland of the old era.

The countries of the post-wasteland era, the independent cities and the Alliance, have finally reached a unified understanding that they can no longer cultivate extremely stable and even non-sequelae of Doom like the "Ash Emperor".

On the contrary, the frequent loss of control of the Doomers, coupled with the purification of the "Abyss of Doom", the remaining "Dooms" have been drastically reduced, which increases the risk of the Doomers wanting to advance.

All these things add up, and eventually the "doomers" are put on the "wanted" list by various countries, and once discovered, they must be immediately arrested and controlled.

The same is true of the aforementioned "turbid items", which are serious "contraband".

But now, Jason actually said that he wanted to absorb the doom and become a doomer.

No.

He's not crazy.

Irene finally set her eyes on the reddish-brown sarcophagus.

If this is really the "legacy" of the legendary Emperor, maybe... You really can.

Damn it!

The female scavenger quietly put one hand behind her back and raised the other.

Irene tried to make a final struggle: "I promise you, I won't tell anyone about this here!" I don't want the final payment for the follow-up, so please let me go. ”

Unfortunately, it was Jason's index finger that began to pull the trigger that answered her.

and his sarcasm, full of disdain.

"Dead people never speak."

Boom!

...

...

It wasn't gunshot.

Before Jason could pull the trigger, another abrupt noise came ahead of him in the secret room.

At this moment, the eyes of everyone present subconsciously looked in one direction, which was the source of the real muffled sound.

There it is...

A maroon sarcophagus in the deepest part of the chamber!

Boom... Boom!

The sound of crashing kept coming from inside the sarcophagus, as if something was about to come out of it.

The maroon lines on the coffin wall, accompanied by the trembling of the coffin lid, also flickered wildly, and the red light spread, as if to dye the entire secret room blood.

And when everyone was shrouded in these maroon ripples, they all involuntarily picked up their heads in pain, their faces distorted, and their expressions were hideous.

Because in their ears.

Crying... Roar... Scream... Laughter...

All kinds of chaotic voices, converging into muttering madness, even though they had tried their best to cover their ears, these crazy and demented voices still continued to echo in their minds and wreak havoc in their spirits.

In Jason's hand, the pointer is swaying wildly with everyone, and cracks appear on the glass wall of the monitor, which means that the concentration of "turbidity" in this place has gone from the initial "explosion" to the current direct and complete failure of the instrument.

Fortunately.

After the next second.

Boom!

Bang Dang!

It was a loud bang than before.

After this sound, everything stopped.

Whether it's the chaotic sound in everyone's mind, or the swaying hands on the detector dashboard, or... The chamber was dyed red, and the sarcophagus shimmered with maroon lines.

Jason was like a man who had just been rescued from drowning, and everything that had happened before might have been a few seconds, but for him, it felt like a whole century of suffering.

He was 100% sure that it was what everyone feared - turbidity

And as the source of strong "turbidity".

At this moment, the texture on the sarcophagus has dimmed, no longer emitting maroon light, and even the sense of mystery and vicissitudes that gave them at the beginning has disappeared, as if it has become an ordinary coffin.

Of course, none of this is the point.

The point is...

One of the most important things is missing.

The sarcophagus's... Lid.

Hold one's breath.

Cold sweat broke out on everyone's foreheads, chills ran down their backs, and a creepy feeling quickly crept into everyone's hearts.

In the stunned, stunned, shocked, terrified eyes of Jason and the female scavengers, as well as all the gang members.

I saw that from the shadows of the sarcophagus in the depths, the silhouette of a young man slowly emerged.

And the black-haired young man who got up from the sarcophagus seemed to be confused at first, and then when he looked around, especially the layout of this secret room, the young man seemed to suddenly wake up.

The next moment, the young man became inexplicably angry.

And then followed by strange words that they didn't understand at all.

"Blanch!"

"This TM is the second week!?"
