544 The underground palace of death (Chapter 3.18)
Link had been to the underground palace of death in his previous life.
The danger mainly came from the mummified corpses with plague poison and the insects that suddenly emerged from the sand.
Even if the current timeline had a butterfly effect because of him, the type of monsters and difficulty should be similar.
As the only survivor of the disaster, Fu immediately noticed the abnormality.
“Boss, something doesn’t seem right here!” Fu said with certainty.
“oh, tell me what’s wrong?” Said link.
afo leaned closer to link and whispered, boss, weren’t there many mercenaries and slaves that were swept in with the quicksand? there’s everything here, but no one. It’s too strange!
Fu observed carefully and found something strange in the underground palace of death.
that makes sense. The people here have all disappeared. It’s not realistic to say that they were all buried in sand. There must be one or two exposed, but there are no bodies. This is very strange. Link concluded from Fu’s words, but he didn’t tell him that the corpses had all dried up.
With Fu’s unparalleled luck, sometimes saying too much would destroy this chance.
the players had only explored this place for a few days, but there were no longer any footprints on the ground. they were all covered by new sand, eliminating all traces of the past.
Link’s group quickly arrived at the edge of the cliff. The dark abyss was like a bottomless pit. There was no aura, but it gave off a terrifying feeling.
Fu took out a Searchlight from his enhanced backpack and shone it in all directions. They could see that the other side was more than 30 meters away. The light from the searchlights shone into the abyss, and the beam of light weakly diluted and faded in the distance. It was eventually swallowed up by the darkness, but it still could not reach the bottom of the abyss.
Fu couldn’t help but gasp. how deep is this crack? ” he asked. even the searchlight can’t reach the end.
The searchlights he had prepared were all strong lights that could shoot out beams of light over 300 meters in the dark. If they could not reach the ground, it meant that the crack was at least 300 meters deep.
“Boss, how are we going to get there?” Fu couldn’t even use [ body spiritualization ] in this kind of place. It could be said that he was at his wit’s end.
“I’ll leave the rest to you,” said link, patting King Kong’s shoulder. After saying that, he threw his flash dagger to the opposite bank. A moment later, his figure disappeared from where he was standing and suddenly appeared on the opposite bank.
King Kong took out the heaven shaker from his ear. The heaven shaker in his palm gradually extended with King Kong’s will and connected the two banks.
“I’ll take my leave first!” Vajra nimbly jumped up to heaven shaker and reached the other side in a few moves.
Although the crocodile God’s descendant shazock looked like he was full of primitive wildness, he had the divine element and was very agile. It didn’t take him much effort to reach the other side.
After reaching the other side, shazock exchanged a look with King Kong. Link could even see sparks in this exchange.
one seemed to be saying,”not bad, you’re qualified to compete with me.”
The other one’s eyes were slightly provocative. It’s easy to surpass you.
after a while, the macaw flapped its wings and flew over, plopping to the ground and stirring up a cloud of dust.
In the blink of an eye, Fu was the only one left on the other side of the river. He raised his Searchlight and looked at each other.
“What am I supposed to do if all of you go?” Fu asked in a sobbing tone.
Vajra grabbed one end of the heaven shaker and shouted to Fu,”Hold the other end tightly, I’ll drag you over.”
Fu hung the searchlight around his neck, then firmly grasped one end of the sky quake with both hands.
With a thought from King Kong, the sky-shaking sword gradually shrank. Fu, who was still holding onto his weapon, crossed the 30-meter crack and came to the other side.
After crossing the abyss, the group continued forward.
More broken walls were displayed in front of everyone. The murals, buildings, sculptures, and incomplete objects of the desert Ruins were everywhere. Car wreckage and messy weapons were all proof of the horror of quicksand.
The path leading to the unknown was getting narrower and narrower. Other than the rustling footsteps and breathing of the crowd, there was no other sound. It was unbelievably quiet.
Fu gulped. Its black skin blended into the darkness, but its eyes were like two headlights, shining brightly under the searchlight.
The treasure-hunting mouse led the way. While running, it carefully distinguished the smell in the air and sensed where the treasure was hidden.
Suddenly, the treasure-hunting mouse stopped and turned around. Its nose twitched and it squeaked to give a warning.
“Something is approaching!” The macaw immediately went on alert. Ah Fu hurriedly took out a Searchlight and looked around. In the end, a flash of light swept across the darkness in the distance and a few black shadows were seen.
After that, more and more figures appeared around them, gradually approaching and surrounding them.
Under the pale light, one could clearly see the withered, mummified corpse dragging its seemingly rusty body, staggering toward the crowd. From the torn and messy clothes on their bodies, one could vaguely identify them as the mercenaries and slaves who had died in the quicksand that day.
be careful, these mummies have a highly infectious plague. They will turn into mummies after coming into contact with the skin.
Ah Fu’s face paled at Link’s words. Just imagine how scared a dark-skinned child would be.
The macaw, who was standing on the high ground, immediately cursed, ” “Link, you f * cking bastard! Didn’t you say it wouldn’t be dangerous? if you knew there would be such a monster, you wouldn’t have made any preparations. I think you just want to kill me!” Then, the macaw burst into tears. link, you heartless bastard! You’ve killed the good!
Link was speechless. Ever since the macaw returned from Dragon City, it had been a little crazy!
He took out a few bottles of pale yellow liquid from his pocket and gave them to Fu, shazock, the treasure-hunting mouse, and also threw a bottle to the macaw.
zombie virus immunity potion. Duration: 6 hours. Product of Alchemist grace.
Link then turned to King Kong and said, ” I won’t be giving you the potion. You’re in metal form and protected by the light of Buddha. You’re immune to this zombie plague. The evil won’t be able to get close to you.
King Kong nodded, and the Buddha’s light around him was already shining. The seemingly soft light was the biggest nemesis of these mummies and evil.
AFU, shazock, and treasure-hunting mouse drank the potions without a word. AFU even burped.
the macaw unscrewed the bottle and suspiciously sniffed it. it didn’t have a disgusting smell, but instead had a hint of fragrance.
After the macaw poured it into its mouth, its flexible tongue stirred and commented, ” it’s sticky in the mouth. It’s called a potion, but it’s actually a solid colloid. It’s cold and similar to jelly, and it’s slightly acrid after chewing.
Immediately after, he changed his expression. Wing gave a thumbs up and praised, ” “As expected of the desert Emperor. He’s prepared for a rainy day, has foresight, and solved a big problem while talking and laughing. From your eyes, I can see wisdom and maturity that has transcended time. Please allow me to praise you, desert Emperor!”
Link rolled his eyes at the macaw. He ignored the macaw’s unique skill of changing faces and taking advantage of the situation. He drank the potion in one gulp and gained a six-hour immunity to the zombie virus status.
“Let’s fight as we retreat and continue to walk in.”
The underground palace of death was very different from his previous life. There was basically nothing familiar to link. He could only take it one step at a time. However, one basic logic would not change, and that was the deeper one went, the more dangerous it would be.
Link used the magic box pistol to attack the enemy behind him. King Kong’s body was surrounded by waves of Sanskrit. Golden light flashed as he opened a path in front.
Seeing this, shazok also rushed up, wanting to take this opportunity to continue the battle.
the mummies ‘levels were not high, only around level 20.
Its movement was slow, and its speed was about twice that of a normal person, but its defense and elemental resistance were very high. With Link’s attributes and weapon damage, he should be able to kill a level 20 creature instantly. However, he still needed two more shots to kill the mummified corpse.
If even link was in such a state, the average player would be in even more trouble.
However, King Kong and shazok’s situation was obviously much better.
The two of them were ready to compete with each other. The Buddhist light of King Kong was a great weapon against mummies and evil spirits. Wherever the golden light touched, the mummies ‘bodies would be burned to ashes. Shazock didn’t use any skills, only a pair of sharp front claws. The divine elements were extremely powerful, and he could easily tear apart the mummies.
For a time, the two of them advanced side by side, and there was no clear winner.
The macaw patted him from behind and said in surprise, ” ” oh my god, although i knew that shazok’s strength wouldn’t be bad with his fierce appearance, i didn’t expect him to be on par with king kong. how awesome! ”
The road ahead was narrow, and more and more mummies emerged. however, with the two ” door gods ” leading the way, the mummies that pounced on them all turned into ashes or dead objects.
Following the ruins, they walked into a sunken and twisted tunnel. After a round of fighting, the scene in front of them suddenly widened and changed again.
there were no mummies, but instead, there were huge spider webs that densely surrounded the area.
Fu held up a Searchlight and observed the surroundings. He found that they were standing halfway up a slope of quicksand sediments. In front of them was a large Palace of hundreds of square meters. Under the quicksand were two broken stone pillars. The carvings on the stone pillars were still clear, and one could see the myths carved by the ancient desert civilization. The rest of the palace was basically intact. Through the huge white Spider web, he could still vaguely see the murals on the palace walls and hieroglyphs.
Suddenly, Fu saw a figure behind the White cobweb and shivered in fear.
It was a flash, and when Fu regained his focus, the figure had already disappeared.
“Boss, here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I’ve already seen it,” said link, nodding.
to be precise, it was not a human figure, but a creature with a human upper body and a giant spider lower body. it was a creature called a spider demon.
In his previous life, there were only a few filthy and deep underground caves in the wasteland that had creatures like the spider demons. He had never heard of the appearance of the spider demons in the underground palace of death. The demonic spiders were evil and strange creatures with a complete cultural and ethnic system. Ordinary Spider demons were good at spitting spider silk, silent infiltration, poisonous sting surprise attacks, and other abilities, but high-level Spider demons would study the abilities of priests or mages, which were unique to the spider demon civilization, and were quite strange.
“It seems that my appearance has indeed caused a butterfly effect.”
Link then turned to King Kong and shazok and said,”You guys should have seen the demonic Spider earlier, right?”
When the macaw heard the words ‘Spider demon’, it was so scared that it shivered.
what happened to treasure hunting? why is there a dried corpse in front of you and a Spider demon behind you? I heard that the spider demon never kills people directly. They usually use poison needles to numb you and wrap you up in a cocoon. Then, when you wake up and struggle, you can enjoy and eat it bit by bit. Furthermore, it was said that the demonic spiders loved to eat fat birds. “Boohoo, Why is my life so hard?” the macaw felt that it was too hard to do Link’s filming.
other photography jobs were just a little tiring, but this job was not only poor, but it was also deadly.
However, no one paid any attention to him. All their attention was on the spider web in front of them.
Shazok felt that his chance had come and said, ” “I’ll deal with the demonic Spider.”
King Kong put his hands together and said with a serious look,”Junior Brother Sha, wait a moment. I have an affinity with the demon spiders here. This place was filled with evil and dark auras, darkness and death. Today, master’s arrival shocked the universe and caused everyone to panic. I’ll release the evil spirits here from purgatory and let them be reborn into bliss, so that they can accumulate merit and longevity for their master, and also return peace to the desert!”
Listen, what the f * ck is the art of language!
shazok was the one who spoke first, but after hearing those words, he felt that it would be unkind of him to make the first move, and he felt a sense of guilt.
Link activated the heaven’s insight and saw a lot of black gas. there was a lot of flowing black gas under the sand, which was obviously a tunnel dug by the spider demons. Not only were the spider demons strong and had a healthy civilization, but they were also good at construction. the underground passages and the altar palace were magnificent.
At the same time, link saw a place where the air currents gathered and flowed. Although it was only a fist-sized hole, the aura inside and outside was surging. It was clearly the place to leave the palace.
“you two deal with the demonic spider. i’ll wait for you at the entrance.”
Link could see King Kong and shazok’s competitive intentions. They were both his pets, so he couldn’t be biased.
King Kong and shazok heard this and rushed out.
Shazok immediately activated [ power of fire ], and the 150 rage points he had just accumulated finally came in handy.
The scorching ‘scorched earth’ on the ground began to spread, and the spider demons hiding underground could no longer hide. They burrowed up from the ground and launched a surprise attack, even causing many of the spider webs on the ground to curl and melt in the high temperature.
On one side, Buddhist chants and golden Buddhist light and Buddhist shadows surged. On the other side, killing intent filled the air, and the heart-wrenching screams of the spider demons continued.
Link brought Fu, the macaw, and the treasure-seeking mouse to the cave entrance from the other side.
Link’s air blade popped out. He was ready to cut the thick stone slab and dig a path.
Just then, Link’s heart skipped a beat.
A strange yet familiar feeling welled up in his heart.
The treasure-hunting mouse on Link’s shoulder also stood up. It tilted its head and stared at the fist-sized hole. It smelled a familiar yet strange aura.
A moment later, quicksand poured out of the hole continuously, then gathered together and reassembled.
As the scattered sand gradually gathered together, a small mouse with pale yellow fur suddenly appeared in front of link.
Link was stunned.
Wasn’t this the gerbil that Qingqing had given it freedom?
