Chapter 397: Exploring the Necromantic Realm
Because they didn't know what dangers were in the necromancy, they didn't dare to light the magic lamp, and Richard hurriedly used the second ring magic dark vision to find that the place where they were located was also a cave.
There is still a stone door in the cave with a card slot on the stone door, and the ruby ring is intact in the card slot.
Richard took off his ring, looked at the dusty necromantic realm, and led everyone out of the cave, and began to carefully probe the surrounding situation.
Although everyone is a high-level professional, the speed of exploring the necromantic realm is still very slow, and every step of the action must be carefully considered and cautious.
The three-ring magic used by the magician can only hide the detection of low-level and medium-level undead, and once everyone's whereabouts are detected by the high-level undead with wisdom, the location of the undead passage may be exposed.
If the Undead Lord discovers the coordinates of this seat plane passage, and it happens that the undead passage is not completely destroyed, the Undead Lord can pass through the plane passage and invade the Dawn Plane in reverse.
Although the seal arranged by Shao Gongyuan was very powerful and ingenious, it was inferior to the methods of the undead lord. Fortunately, Shao Gongyuan left behind him, and once Richard used the Sword of Starlight, he would be able to destroy the plane passage. In fact, the initiative to close the channel of the plane was grasped.
After Richard and the others walked out of the cave, they walked more than ten kilometers to the south, and soon found a stronghold where the undead gathered.
Sylph was the most agile and decided to scout the undead stronghold first.
Richard and Wendini respectively released optical stealth and aura sealing techniques on Silver, and Hilf suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Sylph is already a legend, with an agility stat of more than twenty points, and if she bursts at full speed, her speed will be extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, Sylph went deep into the interior of this undead stronghold, her movements were not only fast but also very light, and the high-level undead who owned this stronghold were not very intelligent and did not notice.
After about half an hour, Sylph successfully returned and whispered, "This stronghold is a cemetery of the undead, and there are three high-level undead inside, all of whom are unintelligent creatures, and we can easily exterminate them. ”
"Don't do it yet, there may be intelligent undead creatures nearby, and if the intelligent undead creatures discover the abnormality, we will also be in trouble."
Richard spread out the map, quietly marked it, and continued to scout with the group.
Entering the necromantic realm, Richard found that the density of undead here was indeed very large.
After continuing to walk more than ten kilometers south from the skeleton mausoleum, the mummy lair was found again.
Compared to the most common skeletons in the necromantic world, mummies have very weak vision, surpass skeletons in combat power, and possess corpse poison, which is relatively difficult.
This time, it was still Sylph who intervened, scouting the mummy's lair.
In the mummy lair, there are two high-level undead creatures, and the number of mummies adds up to about three hundred, with the strength of Richard and others, it is a relatively easy undead stronghold.
At the beginning of the reconnaissance, the expedition team discovered two undead creature strongholds.
The expedition team is all high-level professionals, and their energy is far beyond that of ordinary people, although it has been most of the day since they entered the necromantic realm, everyone has not been tired in the slightest.
Leaving the mummy's lair, they continued to walk for three hours, and twenty kilometers away from the mummy's lair, everyone found a majestic palace complex.
The spirits of the dead in this palace are obviously more powerful and difficult than the skeletons in the cemetery and the mummies in the caves.
In the face of this opponent, this time even Silph's face was a little solemn, and he cautiously began to probe.
The reconnaissance lasted for four hours, and Wendiney and Sutton's faces were already a little worried, and even Richard was a little out of breath, so William asked William to pick up Sylph near the palace and be ready to fight at any time.
Just when everyone's stamina was almost exhausted, Sylph finally managed to return.
"How's it going?"
Sylph whispered, "The situation in the palace is a bit troublesome, and at the core is a sleeping corpse. should have a certain amount of wisdom, looking at the level, it is estimated that it is a legendary undead creature, and there are a huge number of corpse demons inside the palace group, adding up to several thousand. ”
Hearing what Sylph had detected, Richard thought to himself: "We left the plane passage and walked about fifty-five kilometers to the south, and we found the legendary undead creature. The density of the undead in this world is inevitably too great. ”
"Don't go to the south yet, I think we should take the plane passage as the origin, turn around and go to the east first."
William thought about it for a moment, and also offered his opinion.
In fact, with the strength of the expedition team led by Haaland, it is not a hassle to enter the corpse demon palace and kill this suspected legendary undead creature.
Richard and Sophia can unleash Starlight Bombs six times, and Starlight Bomb Cleanup Miscellaneous is very powerful and can solve most problems.
Silph, William, Sutton, and Wendiney are also very strong professionals, and with the assistance of Soros, Wilde, Jora, Wendy, and others, they have enough strength to defeat the Necro Palace.
However, Richard wanted to obtain resources in the necromantic world for a long time, and was not willing to make a hammer deal, so he was not completely sure, and Richard was not willing to fight rashly.
The power of the starlight bomb is so great that it can be easily detected even from a hundred kilometers away. Once the movement is too big, everyone will risk leaking, and if it alarms the legendary lich and other high-level people, it will cause trouble for future exploration of the necromantic realm.
The expedition team adopted William's advice, carefully bypassed the corpse demon palace, and walked more than twenty kilometers east along the corpse demon palace, and the expedition team made a new discovery.
This time it was the ghouls, and Sylph once again lived up to expectations, detecting information from the ghoul crypt and finding that there was only one high-level undead in the ghoul's tomb, and the number of ghouls was very small, weaker than the strength of the skeleton graveyard.
Inside the necromantic realm, there are not only all kinds of undead nests, but also many scattered undead in the wild, but most of these undead are low-level undead creatures, and under the deliberate avoidance of Richard and others, it is impossible for low-level undead creatures to discover their whereabouts.
After crossing the ghoul tomb and continuing to walk more than ten kilometers to the east, Richard and the others saw a living creature for the first time.
In addition to the undead creatures in the necromantic realm, there are also some special creatures that absorb negative energy, such as death spiders, scarabs, and so on.
What appeared in the eyes of Richard and others was a pyramid, which was supposed to be a mummy's lair, but after Sylph's investigation, she found that there were no more mummies in the pyramid, but a large number of scarab beetles lived.
The scarab beetle is a special type of magical creature, this creature is not of high rank, and it is a magical insect like Purple Head Peak, but it is very troublesome to deal with.
Especially in this special environment of the necromantic realm, without any benefit, it is impossible for Richard to fight against these shells.
After crossing the pyramid and continuing eastward for about twenty kilometers, Richard and the others found the three-headed dog of hell.
The three-headed dog of hell is also a special high-level demonic beast, and its professional level is equivalent to the ninth order when it becomes an adult, and the favorite food of this demonic beast is soul fire, and it likes to live in a plane full of negative energy.
The adult three-headed Hellhound is very tall and resembles a tyrannosaurus rex. This magical beast can spew out a puff of black smoke, which is extremely corrosive, and can turn the prey corpse into blood and water, and the soul becomes his dessert.
The three-headed dog of hell not only has wisdom, but also has an extremely powerful sense of sight and smell, although the reconnaissance of Sylv is blessed with optical stealth, breath sealing and other spells, but the breath of life on her body still makes the three-headed dog of hell discover.
As if smelling the breath of its prey, the three-headed dog of hell opened its mouth, and was just about to let out a silent roar, when Sylph had already made a decisive move and shot the elven feather arrow.
Silph's archery level is no less than that of Richard and Soros, and after being promoted to legend, he is even one line higher than them, because his mental power has been greatly improved, and he can already manipulate magic arrows.
In order to be able to kill the three-headed dog of Hell with a single arrow, Sylph uses a high-level enchanted arrow, which is already a seventh-order enchanted item, which is not only very penetrating, but also has magic damage. If it hits the vital point, even if it is a ninth-order demonic beast hell with thick skin and meat, it will not be spared.
Sylph shot an arrow that was extremely fast, like a bullet, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the three-headed Hellhound, aimed at its mouth, and tried to shoot the three-headed Hellhound's head through.
At the moment of life and death, the eyes of the three-headed dog of hell released a red light, which was the rainbow light of the negative energy of the seven-ring magic in the body.
The negative energy rainbow light between the electric light and flint stones accurately hit the high-level enchanted arrow, and there was a burst of sound from the arrow, and the arrow shaft of the lower material level was instantly shattered.
Finding that the magic arrow continued to break through the red light barrier, a trace of spatial ripple appeared on the body of the three-headed hellhound, and in an instant, the three-headed dog of hell appeared a few hundred meters away, and it was a four-ring magic shapeshift.
Realizing that the enemy was far more powerful than he expected, the three-headed dog of hell was just about to flee when Richard had already unleashed the Three-Ring Magic Immobilization Technique on it.
Even though the Three-Headed Hellhound's magic resistance is high, it is immobilized for a very short time. But this moment has won enough opportunities for Silver.
The magic arrow spun around in the air, like a bolt of lightning, and shot at the three-headed dog of hell again.
By the time the three-headed dog of hell had just gotten rid of the entanglement of the immobilization technique, the magic arrow had been accurately shot into the three-headed dog of hell's mind, and the magic flame released by the arrow instantly burned the brain of the three-headed dog of hell.
Having killed this beast that was not weak, Richard immediately put the body of the three-headed dog of hell into a storage bag.
Compared with ordinary magical beasts, the flesh and blood of the three-headed dog of hell is full of negative energy, which cannot be eaten by humans, and the demon core can only be used in special places, but the canine teeth and eyeballs are precious spell casting materials.
In fact, to the necromancer, the corpse of the three-headed dog of hell is more precious than the corpse of the ninth-order demonic beast. The corpse of the Three-Headed Hellhound can easily be made into a corpse, which is a bit more powerful than the Iron Golem. In addition to the corpse of the three-headed dog of hell, the remaining materials are also simple to collect.
Although the Harland Collar has a necromancer inheritance, it is not connected to the necromancer organization, and the corpse of the three-headed dog of hell naturally cannot be realized through the necromancer.
Richard had a bright future, and naturally he didn't need to specialize in the methods of necromancers. Everyone shouts and beats the necromancers on the Dawn plane, and Richard is a duke and nobleman, and he doesn't want to be associated with necromancers.
In order to avoid revealing the traces and let the intelligent high-level undead in the vicinity detect it, Richard prepared to store the body of the three-headed dog of hell in the bottle of Starlight and wait for it to be disposed of on the Dawn plane.
After killing the three-headed dog of hell, everyone was more careful on the road, and continued to walk for more than ten kilometers and found the ghost cave.
Spirits are more difficult to deal with than physical undead.
Especially for warrior-type professionals, the means of fighting the enemy are relatively simple, and there is no way to deal with this undead creature.
Through careful reconnaissance of the ghost cave, the expedition team has confirmed that there are no legendary undead in the ghost cave, and the number of ghosts is not very large, relying on the magic methods of Richard and others, cleaning up the ghost cave is not a trouble.
After scouting the Ghost Cave, Richard estimated the distance and found that he had walked about sixty kilometers east from the corpse palace.
After discovering that the eastern reconnaissance was almost over, everyone decided to turn north from the ghost cave.
The enemy in the necromantic realm is strong and I am weak, otherwise there is no need to take such trouble to reconnoiter in the air in a magic hot air balloon, and the surrounding terrain and the distribution of undead creatures will soon be able to reconnoitre.
It's a pity that there are many intelligent undead creatures in the necromantic world, and in order to keep secrets, Richard and others can only hide in the dark. If you do it near the plane passages, you must make sure that the grass is cut and the roots are removed. If you fail to do so, you must return to the Dawn Plane, close the plane passage, and use the Starlight Sword to destroy the stone gate to completely eliminate this hidden danger.
Unable to rely on magical hot air balloons to scout in the air, the expedition team can only rely on ground reconnaissance to obtain intelligence, and try to avoid all kinds of undead creatures along the way, and the speed of reconnaissance is relatively slow.
Twenty-four hours a day, only six undead strongholds were reconnoitred, and a distance of about one hundred and twenty kilometers was walked.
After turning north from the Wraith Cave, Hunter saw that everyone was a little tired and rested for a while in a small hill. In the realm of the undead, of course, it is impossible for everyone to fall asleep, so they can only take turns to rest for an hour or two. Compared to a magician with strong mental power, who does not rest for a long time, the state of a melee professional is relatively worse.
After a short rest, the group walked about twenty kilometers north and found an undead stronghold, where the undead were mainly skeleton warriors, but the leader of them was a skeleton mage with wisdom. In order to prevent the skeleton mage from noticing the abnormality, Richard and the others carefully circled more than ten kilometers.
The Tower of Bones continued to walk more than ten kilometers north, and it was the lair of the Death Knights, the Death Knights were the high-level troops among the undead, and the number of Death Knights in this lair was good, adding up to a total of only a dozen, but it was very troublesome to deal with.
Continuing twenty-five kilometers north along the Death Knight's lair, Richard and his party discovered the Evil Eye Cave.
This cave is inhabited by more than thirty undead creatures, Evil Eyes.
The Evil Eye is a magical class of undead creatures, and Richard had seen it himself a few years ago when he had fought the undead in the Princess's Tomb. In that battle, in order to avoid a large number of casualties among the soldiers, Richard released a starlight bomb, killing a large number of death knights and evil eyes.
After walking about sixty kilometers to the north, it is estimated that they are now about the same line as the plane passage, and it has taken a day and a half to enter the necromantic realm to investigate.
On the way back, the group also found a zombie lair.
The undead in the zombie lair are also very average, there are only two high-level undead without intelligence, if they are cleared here, it will be very simple for Richard and the others.
After two days of investigation, the situation in the necromantic world opened everyone's eyes. Through careful reconnaissance, more than a dozen undead strongholds were recorded on the map. As the reconnaissance area grows larger and the map becomes clearer, Richard will be able to dispatch a team to wipe out an undead stronghold at once.
Destroying an undead stronghold can harvest soul crystals, and refining Styx potions can not only train mages in Harland's territory, but also sell them for resources.
