Chapter Seventy-Six: Montoya in Panic
"It's ......," Leo was finally surprised.
"Haha, stunned!" Montoya laughed heartily, then grabbed the groove of the stone slab and lifted it all out, revealing the black hole underneath.
The strong smell of corruption came, and there was still moisture, and Leo immediately understood that there was indeed a possibility of glittering moss underneath, and hurriedly asked, "Where does this tunnel lead?"
Montoya patted the dirt on his hands and replied in a condescending manner, "A burial chamber." ”
Leo winked cooperatively, "How do you know about this place?"
"My cousin brought me here the year before last. ”
"Your cousin?"
"Yes, Claire's own brother, Lenny. ”
Leo immediately remembered that there was indeed such a figure in Joseph's family. The Earl's eldest son, now twenty years old, is a level 3 bloodline warrior, but he is currently serving in the Empire's most elite Central Legion, and has not returned to the castle for a long time. If it were him, it wouldn't be too much of a problem to push that stone.
"But what did he take you here for?"
"Fight ghosts. ”
“......”
"Haha, I'm teasing you, there are no ghosts in it. With that, Montoya took the lead in the tunnel.
"Wait!" Leo was startled and hurriedly pulled him down.
Montoya turned around and wondered, "What's wrong?"
Leo looked at the entrance of the black hole and muttered, "There's no light down there, who knows if it's dangerous." ”
"I've told you everything, I've been here, it's fine. Montoya didn't care.
"That's not going to work!" Leo said firmly, finding two thicker branches, and then preparing the spell model.
After more than ten seconds, the spell model of the Bright Flame was successfully constructed, Leo whispered a spell, and a flame burst into flames on two branches, and then he used all his strength to throw one of the branches into the tunnel, and the other as a torch.
As you can see from the firelight, the tunnel extends down for nearly ten meters.
After waiting for a while, the branches were still burning at the end of the tunnel, and Leo was relieved and said to Montoya, "Let's go, you can go in now." Hey, you can't get down like this now, and become a Nightblade Leopard. ”
"What are you doing?" Montoya was puzzled.
Leo certainly wouldn't tell him that carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen, and that there might be a lot of carbon dioxide deposited in the tunnels. After thinking about it, he explained in a different way: "In an underground environment like this closed for a long time, it is likely that there is a lack of air, and if you go down rashly, you will suffocate." Now that the flame is not extinguished, it means that there is plenty of air underneath, so there should be no problem. ”
Montoya scratched her head and said, "How come I don't know?"
"You don't know much. Leo held a torch and walked slowly into the tunnel.
Dozens of stairs were quickly completed, and in a short time the two of them had entered the tomb.
The whole burial chamber is two or three hundred square meters, and in the middle is a huge sarcophagus, the coffin lid is scattered aside, and even the remains do not know where they are. Other than that, there was nothing in the chamber and it looked empty. And the mottled murals can be faintly found on the tomb wall, apparently some years ago.
Although he didn't know who this tomb belonged to, Leo could guess that the owner of the tomb must have been quite prominent during his lifetime, or at least had a knighthood, otherwise he would never have been able to build a tomb of this size.
Looking at the coffin lids scattered on the ground, Leo couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, "Is this a robbed tomb?"
Soon he felt that something was wrong again. It was widely believed in the Gaian world that after death, people would enter the kingdom of the god they believed in and get what they wanted, so they would generally leave no funerary goods. However, Leo also knows from "The Power of Faith" that only those who have obtained the favor of God have the opportunity to enter the kingdom of God after death, and the vast majority of people can only wait for the soul to slowly dissipate and return to the origin of the world.
Just as he was thinking nonsense, Montoya suddenly said, "Leo, look over there!"
"Huh?" Leo looked in the direction Montoya was pointing, and sure enough, in the corner of the burial chamber, there was a small faint fluorescence, which was quite difficult to detect even in the dark, if you didn't look closely. He hurriedly walked over to inspect it, and said happily, "What a glitter moss, thank you, Montoya." ”
Montoya put her hands behind her back and said with a smug expression: "Hmph, now you are finally willing to thank me?"
"Hehe, I'll collect this piece first, and then you can go and see if there's anything else. Leo said as he crouched down.
"Good. Montoya nodded, and then said to the ogre who had transformed into a nightblade leopard: "Fatty, come with me, let's go find it together." ”
Chubby didn't move, but looked at Leo, and only after getting permission did he follow Montoya around the tomb.
Putting the torch aside, Leo took out the small dagger and the sealing box from the spatial ring, recalled the characteristics of the glittering moss, and began the collection work.
Glitter moss is fragile and easily ineffective, and must be scraped along with roots that are so small that they are barely visible to be stored for a long time.
Carefully sticking the dagger to the wall, Leo held the sealed box in his other hand, ready to collect it at any time. Because of the practice of drawing magic arrays, he was quite in control of his arms, and he barely made any shaking.
The sharp dagger scraped against the wall, making a foul sound, and in a few moments, the whole piece of glittering moss had been collected by him.
Before Leo could close the box, Montoya suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong?" Leo quickly stood up and ran over there.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. A skeleton that startled me. Montoya stroked her chest, gasping for air, then lifted her foot in anger and kicked the skeleton away with a crunching sound.
Leo relieved himself and joked: "You didn't come last time, why were you still startled?"
"Forehead......" Montoya was a little embarrassed, and the next moment, his face suddenly turned pale, and his voice trembled, "I...... I remember it, ...... Before...... This skeleton is falling apart........."
"What did you say?" asked Leo in surprise.
"Squeak, squeak. ”
With the piercing sound of grinding teeth, a few meters away, the skeleton lying on the ground slowly moved, as if trying to stand up.
Chubby immediately lowered his body, let out a threatening whining sound, and was about to rush over to fight the skeleton.
"Chubby, don't go!" Leo exclaimed flatly.
"Ah!!" Montoya screamed as she looked at the two ghost fires burning in the skeleton's eyes, "Leo, run, it's alive!"
Leo grabbed Montoya by the hand, "Don't run, you haven't collected enough glitter moss." ”
Montoya didn't struggle, but just persuaded, "That thing can be bought for money, and if you lose your life here, you'll have nothing!
"As a mage apprentice, why are you afraid to be like this when you see a lowly skeleton?" Leo hated that iron could not be made of steel. Secretly, he emitted his spiritual power and shrouded the skeleton.
