The opening chapter of the dried corpse

Yu Qian took a deep breath and said firmly: "We must open this sarcophagus, no matter what is inside, we must face it." We've come here, and it's fate that has brought us here. ”

Cai Tianyi swallowed nervously and nodded, then they put their hands on the lid of the sarcophagus and pushed it away vigorously. In the process, the hearts of the two were racing and they were so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

As the lid of the sarcophagus slowly opened, a thick yin aura filled the entire underground palace. Bursts of strange whispers came from the sarcophagus, making people shudder.

When the sarcophagus was fully opened, they saw a strange figure lying inside. It was a dried corpse dressed in ancient robes, with a contorted face and closed eyes, as if enduring endless pain. The robes were carved with strange runes, as if to protect the corpse, but also to imprison it.

Cai Tianyi and Yu Qian looked at the dried corpse nervously, not knowing what would happen next. At this moment, the dried corpse's eyes suddenly opened, revealing a pair of blood-red pupils, as if telling endless resentment and pain.

The dry corpse slowly sat up, and a powerful yin qi instantly swept through the entire underground palace. Cai Tianyi and Yu Qian were shocked by this force and took a few steps back, and the fear in their hearts became more and more intense.

The eyes of the dried corpses were fixed on them, as if to examine their fate. After a moment, it said in a hoarse, deep voice, "You, have broken into this sealed place. As the price of breaking the seal, you will bear my endless curse. But if you can help me in my final mission, I will give you the power you never imagined. ”

Cai Tianyi and Yu Qian looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Immediately, Yu Qian's eyes quickly turned and looked at Cai Tianyi, as if to say, "What should I do?" ”

Cai Tianyi took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his emotions. He responded, "We are not here to disturb your sleep, but we know that this has happened, and we are willing to bear all the consequences. Please tell us how you need us to help you with your final mission? ”

The dry corpse nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "You need to find four artifacts, which represent my strength, wisdom, courage, and compassion during my lifetime. These artifacts are scattered throughout the land, and you will need to go through great difficulty to find them. When you find them, you will have the opportunity to break my seals and join me in this final mission. ”

After hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed in Yu Qian's eyes, but he quickly became firm, and then said, "Okay, we promise you." We are willing to work to break your seal. Please tell us the clue about the first artifact. ”

The dry corpse smiled slightly, and it said slowly, "The first artifact is called the 'Staff of Wisdom', and it is hidden in an ancient temple in the north. However, before you can go there, you will need to learn how to decipher ancient words and magic so that you can find the artifact. In the corner of this underground palace, there is an ancient book that records the knowledge of ancient writing and magic. You have to find it and learn it before you can embark on your quest to find the artifact. ”

Cai Tianyi and Yu Qian glanced at each other, their hearts were full of anticipation, but also felt infinitely heavy. They bowed slightly to the dry corpse to express their gratitude, and in a moment, as soon as they bowed, the dry corpse moved, and Yu Qian suddenly saw the movement of the dry corpse through the shadow of the dry corpse, and then he was shocked, and then quickly took out the sword from the space.

With a "bang", Yu Qian blocked the attack of the dry corpse, but because the strength of the dry corpse was too great, Yu Qian was bounced out.

Cai Tianyi was shocked, if Yu Qian hadn't stopped him just now, the two of them might have died here.

Cai Tianyi immediately looked at the dry corpse vigilantly, stepped back, and slowly helped Yu Qian up, "It's okay." ”

Yu Qian stabilized his body and whispered: "It's okay, this dry corpse has great strength, let's be cautious." ”

A strange smile actually appeared on the face of the dry corpse, and with a slight movement, the speed of the two of them attacked Yu Qian and the others at great speed.

"Beware!" Cai Tianyi shouted, he quickly grabbed Yu Qian's hand and pushed him to the side, dodging the attack of the dry corpse. The dry corpse missed, turned around, and continued to attack the two of them.

Cai Tianyi and Yu Qian dodged in embarrassment, Cai Tianyi's eyebrows furrowed and said, "Senior brother, no, we have been hiding, Yu Qian looked at the dried corpse in his eyes, "Look for a chance, the realm of the dry corpse is not low, and you won't be able to kill it in seconds for a while and a half." ”

A pounce, Yu Qian and the two dodged again, casually killed with a backhand, and cut the sword out, "Qiang", "Ah... "But the moment it touched the dried corpse, it seemed to have been cut into an iron plate.

Yu Qian's eyes were sharp, he quickly took the sword back, and with a breath, he slashed the sword out again, but it was still the same, and the dry corpse was not injured.

"How so?" Yu Qian muttered suspiciously.

"Senior brother, this dried corpse may be a drought." Cai Tianyi thought for a moment and replied.

Yu Qian's face changed greatly when he heard this, and his eyes were terrified, but after a while, Yu Qian returned to normal, and looked at the dried corpse in front of him firmly: "No matter what kind of drought fish and landlubbers he is, they are all low-level animals, and he can still be smart, fight with him." ”

I saw that Yu Qian's mouth kept muttering something, and the sword held in Yu Qian's hand actually appeared with a fierce sword aura, and a trace of white gas was wrapped around the sword.

With his sword in hand, he rushed forward.

The "Qiang" sword qi hit the dry corpse, and I thought there was no change, but the moment the sword qi just touched the dry corpse, the white qi actually wrapped around the dry corpse.

Boom, boom, the piercing sound resounded throughout the cave.

Yu Qian waved his sword, and a dazzling sword light pointed directly at the vital point of the dried corpse.

However, the movement of the dried corpse was incredibly fast. It instantly dodged Yu Qian's sword light and easily dodged Cai Tianyi's flame attack. An eerie smile appeared on the dry corpse's face again, as if mocking their powerlessness.

A trace of despair rose in Cai Tianyi and Yu Qian's hearts. In the face of this powerful dry corpse, they have no chance of winning. However, at this moment, Cai Tianyi's gaze fell on a shining gem on the waist of the dried corpse. It dawned on him that this gem was most likely the source of the Dried Corpses' powers.

Cai Tianyi frowned, he decided to take a risk. He took a deep breath and said loudly to Yu Qian, "That gem may be the source of its power. Let's try attacking its gem with sword energy to see if we can weaken its power. ”

Yu Qian nodded in agreement. They began to dodge again, looking for the right opportunity to attack. After some hard work, they finally found a moment that the dried corpse didn't notice.

Cai Tianyi and Yu Qian launched a sword qi attack at the same time, and the flames and sword light pointed at the gem of the dried corpse at the same time. This time, the dry corpses were not able to completely evade their attacks. The sword light pierced the gem, and the flames enveloped it.

The dry corpse howled in pain, its movements slowing and its strength rapidly waning. Seeing this, Cai Tianyi and Yu Qian ignited hope in their hearts. They took advantage of the victory and pursued and launched an even more fierce attack.

The flames and sword light intertwined, constantly hitting the dried corpses. The corpse's body melted away in the flames, eventually turning to ashes. A fresh breeze blew, the ashes drifted away with the wind, and the entire underground palace returned to calm.

Cai Tianyi and Yu Qian breathed a long sigh of relief, and just when they thought that the dried corpse had disappeared, suddenly the dried corpse had just turned into ashes.

Click, click, a few crisp sounds, the dry corpse actually reappeared, and then the corner of his face smiled, and said: "Okay, okay, don't tease you, your strength is not bad, help me find the four artifacts that break the seal, I will give you the power of the world, by the way, I also know that you are going to find the enemy of the upper realm who is chasing and killing your master, and then give you infinite power, you have no power to refute, because you can't kill me, on the other hand, I can kill you." ”

"Huh... Boom... The dry corpse let out a few sarcastic smiles and disappeared casually.

"Senior brother..."Yu Qian looked at Cai Tianyi and stopped talking.

Cai Tianyi sighed deeply, "I can't beat it, there's no way, who let our life and death be in his hands, senior brother let's go." ”

After some searching, they finally found the ancient book in a hidden corner. Open the ancient books, which record the knowledge of ancient writing and magic. They immediately sat down and began to learn the knowledge, hoping to come in handy in their search for the artifact.

In the process of studying, Cai Tianyi and Yu Qian found that the knowledge recorded in this ancient book was vast and profound, and it took them several days to barely grasp some basic magic and ancient characters. Although time was short, they knew that only by mastering this knowledge could they be invincible in the process of finding the artifact.

As they were about to leave the underground palace, they suddenly remembered the last words of the dry corpse: "The ancient temple of the north." "This may be the clue to their search for the first artifact. They decide to head north in search of the ancient temple hidden in the north and begin their adventure in search of the artifact.

On the way to the ancient temple in the north, Cai Tianyi and Yu Qian encountered many obstacles. They passed through hot deserts, desolate mountains, and precipitous valleys, overcoming numerous difficulties to finally reach the foot of the mountain where the temple was located.

The temple is hidden deep in the mountains and is surrounded by dense forests. They discovered that the forest hides many dangerous creatures, such as ferocious beasts and poisonous plants. In order to avoid provoking these creatures, Cai Tianyi and Yu Qian carefully walked through the forest, trying not to make any noise.

After a strenuous trek, they finally reached the entrance of the temple. This ancient temple exudes an air of mystery, with intricate carvings on the stone steps and pillars that seem to tell an ancient legend.

Inside the temple, they found a mysterious altar with a golden scepter on it. The scepter exudes a powerful magical aura, as if it possesses endless power. "Senior brother... Is this the rod of wisdom? ”。 Cai Tianyi said with blazing eyes.

Yu Qian nodded slowly, "It should be." ”

After receiving the battle of wisdom, they decided to return to the underground palace and tell the good news to the dry corpse. However, on the way back, they encounter an unexpected enemy - a massive magical beast. The beast stood in their way, as if to prevent them from bringing back the Staff of Wisdom.

"Senior brother... Let's go. Cai Tianyi held the sword in his right hand and rushed straight up, and Yu Qian also followed because of Cai Tianyi's words, the "Qiang" sword qi was fierce around the sword body, and the "Zheng" sword body hit the monster straight on, and a piercing cold emanated from the sword body, and after a while, the monster was actually frozen here by this cold sword qi, boom... The beast fell.

"Senior brother, this..."Cai Tianyi looked at the sword in his hand incredulously, he thought that the guardian beast would be very strong.

"Uh... Maybe you're too strong..."Yu Qian also said puzzled, and then the two quickly fled from here.

The dry corpse looked at the staff of wisdom in their hands, and his eyes showed excitement and longing. It told them that if they could find the remaining three artifacts, they would be able to break its seal.
