Chapter Ninety-Six: The Feathered Serpent and the Empty Coffin

A wide enough road, with countless sconces installed on the stone walls on both sides, and the faint blue flames are burning quietly, as if they have not changed forever, rendering a strange and terrifying atmosphere.

On both sides of the road, at intervals, piles of rusty and discarded armor and weapons could be seen, and piles of dry dirt scattered together.

Joyce was able to imagine such a scene.

The loyal soldier was sealed in the dirt, and after a long time of evolution, his life has long since dissipated, and he has somehow broken away from the seal, but he still insists on guarding this dungeon......

Until the stone gate was opened from the outside, these long-dead soldiers fearlessly rushed at the enemy to prevent them from breaking in......

Joyce voiced her judgment: "It's a burial chamber. ”

"I think so." Robinson's voice was soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something: "Those living corpses and ghosts just now are obviously impregnated by the power of necromancy...... That power can survive to this day, which means that the master sequence of the tomb must not be low......"

In the continuous communication between the two, the road under their feet slowly came to an end, and there was no more danger, and the calm was palpitating.

It was an empty hall, and in the center of the hall was a sarcophagus, but the lid was open.

At the bottom of the sarcophagus, a carved lifelike feathered serpent tightly encircles it, and the head of the snake is facing the inside of the sarcophagus.

As if feeling the breath of the living intruding, the head of a snake in an illusory state slowly rose, and its deep eyes seemed to connect to hell, cold, crazy, and chaotic......

"Be careful."

Both of them let out an exclamation at the same time, avoiding the gaze cast by the Feathered Serpent, which avoided the end of the gradual stiffening of the body.

In the state of spiritual vision, it was found that although the stone snake was not moving, an illusory feathered snake was looking up to the sky and roaring, exuding a cold aura.

Then, the feathered serpent's bloody jaw opened, and from it flew a continuous stream of transparent shadows, as if its body was connected to the underworld.

The "Gatekeeper" of Sequence 5...... Joyce guessed, then raised his right hand and launched the "Star Picking", successfully stealing two extraordinary abilities.

The "Whisper of the Dead" can bypass the protection of flesh and blood, communicate and even drive spirits.

The spirit here has no physical body, and it should be easier to communicate...... Joyce thought of it, and he opened his mouth to make a sound that he didn't understand.

But this was not the case, and the ghost flying out of the mouth of the Feathered Serpent paused for a moment, as if hesitating something...... Two seconds later, a small half of the ghosts accepted Joyce's drive, while more ghosts continued to attack the two.

However, the pause is not useless.

On the other side, Robinson uses the spells attached to the "Cloak of the Sun", "Summoning Light" and "Flame of Light", and emits a "Halo of Sun" to delay the ghost's actions.

The two successfully resolved the first wave of the offensive, but before they could catch their breath, the second wave was coming.

Uttering the "Word of the Dead" again, he ordered himself to drive the successful ghost to rush towards his former companion, and the two began to bite violently...... Joyce dodged over to Robinson and said quickly:

"The Feathered Serpent can't get too far from the coffin, as long as the serpentine stone sculpture it possesses is broken, it will immediately return to the underworld."

The "Eye of Death", which can find the weaknesses of unfamiliar undead and spirit creatures through observation, is another ability that has just been stolen using "Star Picking".

It was in this way that Joyce was able to discover the weaknesses of the other party in such a short period of time.

While using the spells of the Solar Realm to kill the incoming ghosts, Robinson asked urgently, "But how do we get there?" ”

This feathered snake is clearly not a normal "gatekeeper", its attack method is very simple, but it is effective enough, and the ghosts in its body seem to be endless, enough to make it impossible for intruding enemies to break through such a tight attack net and approach the sarcophagus.

However, since Joyce proposed this solution, he naturally had a good idea, and he asked:

"I need you to block all the ghosts, three seconds, can you do that?"

Robinson thought quickly in his mind and made a judgment: "Yes." ”

"But if you don't succeed, I'll be forced to exit the hall, and you'll be alone with all the ghosts."

The "notarization" between the two was enough to prove that they could be trusted by each other, and Joyce did not have time to hesitate and immediately responded:

"Now."

As he spoke, he took down the "star picking" and threw it on the ground.

The consequences of this caused the ghosts, who were already killing each other, to quickly change their goals, and Robinson somehow managed to attract all the ghosts to him, but it also seemed to be in danger.

Joyce didn't pause, and after taking the "Star", the abilities of other magical items quickly recovered, including the "Magician's Ring" on his left hand.

A series of fires flashed by, forming a straight line that ended in a sarcophagus in the center of the hall.

A figure suddenly appeared, and Joyce raised his hands in the air, holding the "Blade of Oath" in his hands...... "Oath-Broken Blade" in the form of a giant hammer.

Seeing this, the illusory feathered serpent wound and rushed towards Joyce, threatening to swallow him in his mouth.

It's a pity that it's a little late.

The giant hammer smashed into the stone snake, making a "rumbling" sound, and the statue shattered into several pieces.

Along with it, the feathered serpent let out a scream of unknown meaning, and the pain and anger contained in it could be vaguely heard, and quickly dissipated into nothingness.

Joyce flashes back to Robinson to retrieve the Star Picker and help him destroy the remaining ghosts.

The ghost of the lost owner became much weaker, and was quickly purified like a rootless pine.

Robinson breathed a deep sigh of relief, and at the same time was very glad that he had met Joyce, this guy was terrifying...... No, it should be said that the rich are scary!

The Nightmare Necklace, the magical items of the Fire Thief's abilities, the Flame Flash, and the sledgehammer......

This guy can't be the son of some demigod, right......

"Any questions?" Joyce asked, noticing that the other party was distracted.

Robinson hurriedly waved his hand: "It's nothing, the danger has passed, and the next thing is the precious time to check the harvest." ”

"With such a strong means of protection, the owner of the tomb is likely to be a high-level powerhouse......"

However, when he saw what was going on in the sarcophagus, the fragmented thoughts in his mouth suddenly stopped, because there was no body in it at all.

It wasn't for nothing, the bottom of the coffin was covered with a layer of gold ornaments, which looked quite old and should be worth a lot of money.

"What about extraordinary properties? What about magical items? How come there is nothing? ”

Robinson rummaged wildly, muttering at the same time, but unfortunately there was only gold......

"Look at the mural on this wall."

Joyce stood in front of the wall of the hall and said to a disappointed Robinson.
