Chapter 466: Exploring the Crypt
With a "boom", Samin smashed a large hole in the floor with a punch, and the shattered stone fell downwards with a clatter. Sawin looked over and saw a large black hole coming out of the floor, and a cold, damp air stream blew out of the hole. After many explorations of caves and crypts, Sawin was already experienced, and knew that this could not go down, and that he had to let the turbid air inside dissipate.
Voss and Eliza also ran to the edge of the cave to watch, and Eliza performed a spell, and several balls of light flew into the hole, illuminating the bottom of the cave. The three of them looked down with their heads on top of their heads, and saw that there was a large space below, which seemed to be full of objects, but they had completely rotted and glued together after too many years.
After waiting for a while, the foul air in the cave below had gradually dissipated, and the three of them went down to the cave in turn. On closer inspection, Sawin saw that the space of this underground cave was much larger than the burial chamber above, and it was a natural cave with some artificial repairs. There are a lot of debris piled up on the ground, although it is rotting badly, but it can still be vaguely seen that these should be some daily necessities.
There was a stone door in one corner of the cave, and Savin stepped forward and gently pushed it with his hand, and the stone door fell in response, and a new hole appeared in front of him. The three of them continued to go deeper along the hole, intending to explore this mysterious place. Along the slightly narrow cavern, the trio soon came to a larger cavern.
The cave is completely natural, with dozens of tall stone pillars towering over it, and the entire cave is like a spacious hall that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The three of them looked around the stone hall and found a number of artificially built steps, which seemed to have been inhabited in the past, and even some pottery fragments had been found.
Sawin looked and suddenly found a large picture on a stone wall, but because of the time, the mural was already a little blurry, and it looked like a half-moon painted with coke, with some vague patterns around it. Sawan hurriedly called Eliza and Voss, and the three of them looked at the mural for a long time and could not understand what it meant.
In the end, Savin decided to call the undead out and ask, maybe they would know that Savin was now seven or eight points sure in his heart, and this should be the place where the Onerens lived. An undead is summoned by Samhain, who points to the mural for him to identify.
The undead only looked at it twice, and immediately said, "This is the symbol of the Lord of the Night, the moon symbolizes night and death, and wherever there is this pattern, it means that this is the territory of the Lord of the Night." ”
Sawan immediately asked, "You mean the Lord of the Night has been here?"
The undead replied, "Not necessarily, but the appearance of this pattern at least indicates that the servants or messengers of the Lord of the Night have been here, and it is not known whether the Lord of the Night has been here himself." ”
"Didn't you say that the last Lord of the Night is gone, do you think it's possible that he got here?" asked Savin.
"Perhaps it is possible, the world was in chaos at that time, and there was no news of the Lord of the Night at some point, and it would not be surprising if he had been here. The undead said.
Sawan frowned and thought to himself, "If the Lord of the Night really came here, would it leave something for future generations?" This place is too big, and the three of us don't know when to check it out, so it's better to let these undead do it for you." ”
Thinking of this, Savin said to the undead: "Come out, all of you, search this place carefully, and report to me immediately if you find anything." As the words fell, countless dark green undead suddenly appeared around, occupying almost half of the space in the stone hall.
When Eliza and Voss saw so many undead, they were so frightened that they rushed to Savin's side, staring around in horror, for fear that these undead would do something.
The undead received Savan's order, and without saying a word, they immediately dispersed around, inspecting all parts of the stone hall very carefully. Soon the undead reported that they had found more than one cave connected to the stone hall. Sawan ordered the undead to inspect the caves one by one.
After careful investigation by the undead, it was found that this place had many caves, like an underground labyrinth, if used for habitation, enough to accommodate the population of a small city. Sawan was secretly glad that thanks to the large number of these undead, otherwise so many caves would have to be investigated.
With the investigation of the undead, they quickly figured out the situation of the surrounding caves, and most of the caves were nothing special, and the remains of some living utensils were found, and there should have been many people living here. The only thing that stands out is that an undead found a sarcophagus, and the outside of the sarcophagus was filled with countless bones, filling the cavern entirely.
As soon as Sawin heard this, he sensed that there must be something unusual about this sarcophagus, so he asked the undead to lead the way, and he wanted to check it out for himself. I followed the undead into a narrow stone cave, walked for about half an hour, and finally came to the place where the undead said, only to see a cave that was not very big and was filled with dense bones, and a huge sarcophagus was pressed under the layers of bones, which made people feel that their scalps were numb and their hairs stood on end.
Voss and Eliza, both seeing such a scene for the first time, immediately turned around and left, their stomachs churning, and they couldn't help but vomit. It wasn't the first time Savan had seen such a situation, he had seen similar scenes when he had encountered these undead, but the graveyard of the undead seemed to be quite orderly, unlike the chaotic and even deliberately trying to create a terrifying effect.
But the more this happened, the more Savin doubted the importance of this sarcophagus, otherwise why would it be so scary, obviously to prevent others from approaching the sarcophagus. Sawan decided to open the sarcophagus to see what important secrets were inside, but it would be a hassle to remove so many skeletons.
Sawan told Eliza and Voss what he thought, and both shook their heads, and Voss said, "I'm okay with you opening the sarcophagus, but don't look for me to move these bones, it's too unlucky." ”
Savin looked at Eliza again, and Eliza hesitated for a moment and said, "I...... I'm also afraid of ......"
Sawin said, "You don't need to move these bones, do you have any magic to remove them?"
Eliza thought for a moment and said, "I could have washed these bones away with water, but I don't want to soak them in water." ”
Sawan said, "It's easy, I'll fly with you so you don't get soaked in water." ”
Eliza nodded, "That's a way, that's it." ”
So Savin took Eliza and Vos in his hands, one by one, and flew to the top of the cave. At this time, Eliza took out a light blue bead from her bag, and then began to chant a spell, only to see that a soft blue light immediately emitted from the blue bead, and the air began to be filled with wet moisture.
When Eliza finished chanting the incantation, she pressed her finger on the bead, and a huge white stream of water suddenly gushed out of the bead and rushed towards the cavern full of bones. The bones were already rotting and were quickly scattered into many fragments by the huge current, and they gushed out of the cave with the boiling water.
The huge sarcophagus was very heavy, and it remained unmoved under the impact of the huge current, and soon the dense bones around it were washed away by the current, and only a wet sarcophagus was left parked in the cave.
Sawin said happily: "Eliza has done a good job, and it will be most suitable for you to clean it in the future." ”
"I'm not your cleaner!" Eliza said with a cold snort.
The three of them waited for the water in the cave to flow almost when they walked into the cave where the sarcophagus was placed. Sawan took the lead and climbed up the sarcophagus, and examined it carefully, only to see that there were many patterns carved on the lid of the sarcophagus, but most of them were no longer visible, but there was one pattern that caught Samin's attention, which was a half-moon symbol of the Lord of the Night.
