Chapter 178: Dark Dragon Knight

[The 'Sinking Three-Headed Lion' pounced on the remaining surviving 'Underground Shadow Demons', wallowing back and forth on the ground as they were powerless to resist, and died under the claws of ferocious beasts. 】

[Your Minion defeats the 'Shadow Demon of the Underground', and your XP is increased slightly.] 】

【……】

[The monsters in the cave have been cleared by you, leaving the ground full of charred corpses. 】

[Do you want to leave here, or stay here to search?] 】

The King of the Shadow Demon was smashed into an old godmother by the Earth Giant, unable to possess him.

The shell of an ordinary monster Lin Xun can't look down on it.

He ignored the options for the time being, and returned the Earth Giant to its normal size.

Then open the item to view the loot.

【'Eye of the Shadow Demon King'*2 (Epic) The Shadow Demon King, who lives deep underground, is the race leader of the Shadow Demon. In the darkness of the day, its eyeballs have evolved a peculiar ability. 】

[This item needs to be used with the vacant eye socket, and after use, you will gain excellent night vision.] 】

[This item needs to be used with the vacant eye socket, and there will be a certain probability to obtain it after use, and the special effect 'Dark Shadow'.] 】

Dark shadows?

Lin Xun noticed that the game text showed 'special effects' instead of 'special skills'.

He had no idea what the effect would be until the eye was transplanted.

"Once you've explored the cave, go find Bennett and try out a new eyeball."

He looked at the next prop.

['Apizi Ore'*4 (Special Item), an extremely rare ore that not only exudes a shimmer, but also exudes a sweet and greasy aroma. 】

[In the 'Bretanian Empire', only nobles and learned people can enjoy the strange effects of ore. They usually grind this substance into a powder, take a few tiny grains of powder, mix it with a large amount of spices, and ignite it to smoke it, which can revive the male masculine. 】

[Note that this object should not be directly touched and smelled, so as not to be replenished and lead to sudden fainting and death.] 】

[This item can only be used on 'Strong Shells', and when used, it will consume the life force of the shell and restore the fatigue of the body.] 】

Lin Xun finished reading the introduction of the item with black lines on his face.

This thing has a hammer.

Not to mention the side effects of taking a blood bar to recover from fatigue, just talk about the limitations of the 'strong shell' that can only be used.

He had never encountered the words 'you feel a little tired' in the shell of the Earth Giant.

The fatigue value is set as if it has failed on the strong Blood Ox Warrior.

Only the body of the mage who lacks blue will frequently encounter weakness.

But the body of the master is obviously not related to the word 'strong', and there is no need to use this prop, and if you take it out and smell it, you will faint and die suddenly, which can be called a cool death scene.

In Lin Xun's shell bar, the only ones associated with 'strong' are the Earth Giant and the Ring Knight...... I don't know if a blacksmith counts.

"."

He put away his props and continued exploring.

[You walked around the open cavern, walking around the underground lake in the center of the cave, and found nothing unusual. 】

Are you leaving? 】

Lin Xun thought for a moment and pressed 'No'.

[You stand on the shore of the lake, looking at the dark lake, your thoughts drift farther and farther, bored, you pick up a stone on the shore and throw it into the lake......]

He pouted, and the game in the underworld was still pretending to be stupid.

Open your inventory and click on the 'Subspecies Sea Dragon Orb'.

[The 'Subspecies Sea Dragon Orb' you carry emits a glimmer of light, and it is easy for you to explore the bottomless underground lake in front of you. 】

[You're about to jump into the lake......]

[Suddenly you stand on the shore of the lake and realize that things are not simple! 】

[Several charred shadow demon corpses floated above the lake, and they jumped into the lake desperately to extinguish the flames on their bodies before they died. 】

[Unfortunately, the icy waters of the lake have not been able to extinguish the 'unquenchable flame' on them.] 】

[However, the point is not related to this, you notice that several shadow demon corpses soaked in the lake water have actually corroded.] 】

[Their flesh is gradually dissolving......]

[You instantly realize that the dark waters of the lake contain a deadly poison.] 】

[The 'Underground Shadow Demons' who live near lakes all year round may have adapted to the toxins hidden in the only water source, and a slight ingestion will not cause damage to them.] 】

[But the whole body is immersed in the highly poisonous lake water, and even the shadow demon who occasionally ingests the lake water cannot resist the poisonous corrosion.] 】

[Are you going to jump into the lake?] 】

The underworld game has an ugly face, obviously not wanting Lin Xun to enter the underground lake to explore.

But how could Lin Xun give up so easily?

The less the game of the underworld is allowed to explore, the more it shows that there are treasures hidden in the lake.

He frowned and thought about what to do.

Can you jump into the lake first, and when the body is about to be poisoned, you can immediately switch to a shell, so as to achieve the purpose of exploration.

He currently has eight shells, and may be able to complete the exploration before he is poisoned.

On second thought, the Shadow Demon couldn't bear the toxin, so he changed to another normal shell, and he was afraid that if he jumped into the lake, the Netherworld Game would show 'You're dead!' Don't give him time to explore at all.

"Is it okay to make the Earth Giant bigger and go into the lake and explore quickly...... Maybe the lake is only a few meters deep and won't reach my knees. ”

"Maybe we'll be able to find the treasure in the lake before we die."

Lin Xun is about to implement this seemingly feasible plan...... Suddenly, he slapped the door of the head.

Hurriedly opened the item and looked at an item that had not been useful since it was obtained.

['Divine Light Moth's Anti-Poison Crystal Nucleus' (Special Item): The crystal nucleus conceived in the body of the Divine Light Moth blooms with a colorful color and has good anti-toxicity. With this item, your resistance to all toxins will be greatly increased. 】

This item is dropped in the Blood Sun World after killing the boss Moth at the end of the level, and has the effect of increasing resistance to all toxins.

The anti-poison crystal nucleus has been staying in the inventory and eating ashes, and Lin Xun almost forgot the existence of this prop.

"To be on the safe side, let's try to change the body and go into the water first."

He looked at the shell bar, where the Engineer and the Knight of the Rings were already on a leash.

Can you still use the substitute ghost...... In order of priority, it will of course be Mr. Blacksmith's turn.

[You are possessed by the body of the 'sunken blacksmith'! 】

Click on 'Godlight Moth's Anti-Poison Nucleus'.

[The 'Anti-Poison Crystal Nucleus of the Divine Light Moth' that you are carrying blooms with a glimmer, and you realize that the lake water in front of you contains highly poisonous water does not seem to be an absolute dead realm. 】

[You carefully step into the lake......]

[The cold and dark water of the lake is up to your ankles, and the toxins in it are gradually eroding your body......]

[You feel a slight tingling sensation on the surface of the soles of your feet, which is still within your tolerance.] 】

Do you want to go deeper into the lake? 】

Lin Xun's heart widened, and he switched shells again.

[You are possessed by the body of the 'Sunken Earth Giant'! 】

[The strong physique makes you only feel a slight tingling sensation from the soles of your feet, and there is no rest of the discomfort. 】

[You stride into the lake, the icy water quickly covers your head, and the chill envelops your whole body. 】

[Thanks to the 'Subspecies Sea Dragon Orb' you carry, you can breathe in the water unimpeded. 】

[The dark water around you is still eroding your body, and you feel a slight tingling sensation on the surface of your skin, but it still can't damage you. 】

Are you going to dive into the lake? 】

[You plunge headlong into the dark and cold water of the lake, and dive down ......]

[The water of the lake is like thick ink, so that you can't see anything in the lake, and the cold liquid gradually takes away your body heat.] 】

[Your vision is pitch black, and you quickly lose your sense of direction......]

[You can only use the buoyancy of the lake to determine whether you are still diving. 】

【……】

[As you dive deeper, you feel the pressure of the deep lake slightly, and you feel the countless hands around you squeezing your flesh. 】

[Gradually, the suffocation in your chest makes you feel a little anxious. 】

[Do you want to continue diving?] 】

Lin Xun had been diving in the lake for more than ten minutes, and the depth of the dive had already exceeded the limit of the human body, if the body of the master had already been led by a dog at this time, the earth giant could continue to go deeper.

[You continue to dive into the depths of the lake......]

【……】

As you go deeper, the pressure of the water around you increases, and you gradually feel that your limbs are no longer as powerful as before. 】

[It's as if you're buried deep at the foot of the mountain, fighting the heaviness of the whole mountain alone.] 】

[Do you want to continue diving?] 】

Lin Xun took a deep breath.

The more dangerous the place, the higher the profits, and this underground lake is bottomless, and there may be some treasure buried at the bottom of the lake.

The more the game of the underworld urges him to return, the more he has to dive down.

"It's a big deal to waste a little soul strength!"

With this in mind, he pressed 'yes' again.

[You continue to dive into the depths of the lake......]

【……】

[You feel a burst of pain in your body, the pain becomes more and more intense, and you know that your current diving depth is your limit. 】

[You were about to float back when you suddenly paddled your palm to the depths of the lake, and the touch of the real thing came! 】

[You groped for a feeling, and it turned out that you had dived to the deepest part of the lake and touched the mud on the lake bed. 】

Are you going to float back up, or are you continuing to explore?] 】

[You who haven't gotten the treasure yet, obviously don't want to return here. You grope through the silt at the bottom of the lake, trying to find something useful. 】

【……】

[Suddenly, you feel the same hard object, different from the relatively soft silt at the bottom of the lake, the touch of the object is very hard. 】

[It seems that the size of this thing is not small, you continue to explore ......]

[With your touch perception, the volume of this object ...... It should not be said to be volume, it should be said to be thickness. It's very coarse...... It looks like a giant chain! 】

[The iron chain is full of more than a dozen people hugging each other, and on the surface of the chain, you can also touch the mysterious characters densely dented. 】

[Are you going to follow the 'Unknown Metal Chain'?] 】

A metal chain at the bottom of the lake?

Lin Xun felt as if he had encountered something terrible.

This place is obviously not a place that can be explored by the former Dorsi President's bachelor named 'McGuire'.

In other words, the Ancient Abyss Demon was definitely not at the bottom of the lake.

[You endure the great pressure of the water at the bottom of the lake, groping for the giant chain to move in a certain direction......]

【……】

Lin Xun waited silently, and the text was displayed.

This is another ten minutes.

Although the cavern above his head was large, it only took him a few minutes to walk around the underground lake.

It seems that the bottom of the lake is much larger than the surface of the lake overhead......

[You grope for the chains and move on...... Suddenly, your eyes lit up, and the water pressure around your body suddenly disappeared. 】

[The sudden light makes you accustomed to the darkness, and you unconsciously close your eyes.] 】

You are surprised to find that you are no longer in the water. 】

[You slowly open your eyes, and what you see is a vast underground space. 】

[Next to you is an incomparably thick fine copper chain, you look back along the fine copper chain, behind you is a dark water curtain shaped like a large waterfall. 】

[The strange thing is that the other end of the water curtain is the dark lake, and this end is an underground cave that can walk freely. 】

[You look forward along the fine copper chain, and at the end of the chain is the skeleton of a terrifying and huge creature! 】

[The pitch-black giant skeleton is endless, the spikes erected on the back of the skeleton are extremely hideous, and even if the two broad bone wings are no longer flesh and blood, you can still imagine the terrifying scene of the creature spreading its wings when it is alive. 】

[The vicious skull is covered with dense small pits, and at a glance, it looks like a huge honeycomb like a palace. 】

[You look at the countless small sunken holes, and you can't help but think of eyes as dense as stars. 】

[At the end of the line of sight, the copper chains are connected to the hind limbs of the skeleton of the wreckage.] 】

[You have found the remains of the 'Ancient Hermit Dark Dragon'. 】

Lin Xun's eyes widened.

Ancient Hermit, Dark Dragon......

The eyeballs of the 'Pale Dragon of the Ancient Wise Man' and the eyeballs of the Crimson Dragon of the Ancient King on his body are both one of the many eyeballs on the dragon's body.

Just one of the countless eyeballs has reached the Epic+ level, and it's hard to imagine how powerful the dragon must have been when it was alive.

Fortunately, in this hidden map, he encountered a dragon with only bones left, otherwise he was afraid that he would see the word "vegetable" again.

[You come to the foot of the bones and look at ...... carefully]

[The color of the bones is as black as the lake you see, and the 'Ancient Hermit Dark Dragon' in front of you has been dead for an unknown amount of time, and the bones have endured countless years in the humid environment and are no longer indestructible. 】

[You try to touch the dragon's bone-only toe, which is still the size of a mountain, and your palm hurts, and a sharp tingling sensation comes. 】

[I saw dense blisters in the palms of my hands, and the epidermis was corroded off a layer. 】

[You instantly understand that the bones in front of you contain unimaginably violent toxins, and even the toxins in the water of the endless lake come from here. 】

[You carefully move away from the dark bones and continue walking. 】

[It didn't take long for you to see a human skeleton leaning against the dragon's bones. 】

[It's just that this skeleton is surprisingly large, although it can't compare to what you looked like when you were a giant, but it's also as tall as a two-story building.] 】

[The most surprising thing is that this human skeleton is the same color as the dragon next to you.] 】

[You have found the skeleton of the 'Dark Dragon Knight'!] 】

[Next to the bones of the 'Dark Dragon Knight', there are weapons and equipment scattered in front of him.] 】

[You hurriedly stepped forward to check, the giant dragon spear was already rusty, and the once shiny giant armor was like a piece of paper that shattered into scum all over the ground at the touch of a piece. 】

[You let out a long sigh and shook your head in disappointment, just as you thought you were going to return empty-handed, you saw a tall stone tablet behind the skeleton of the 'Dark Dragon Knight'. 】

[The stele is engraved with words, which seem to record its deeds.] 】

[You step forward and read the ...... line by line]
