Zhang Mu, where is your senior sister? "
"She went back to the capital for something."
“The royal capital?
I heard a while ago that there are rebel forces active throughout the Kingdom of Lake, especially near the capital. Why is she going there now?"
Resistance?
Hearing this, Zhang Mu was confused.
In the Sol continent, where great power belongs to itself and the world is ruled by theocracy and monarchy, there is still such a thing as a resistance army?
"What are they rebelling against?"
"I don't know." Frederica replied softly, "I heard it from the guards when they were chatting while passing through the city."
"I only know that the guards call them the rebels."
Zhang Mu concentrated on thinking about the formation, but couldn't figure out any solution.
After going out, ask the guards in Bala City.
Thinking of this, he began to jog unconsciously from his already brisk pace.
Chapter 71 Touch and Run
In the dark tunnel, two beams of light slowly moved forward.
Zhang Mu felt like he had been walking for a long time and the tunnel was getting wider and wider.
From four people running side by side at the beginning, to now being able to run four carriages side by side.
Fortunately, they were traveling together.
I don’t know how far the end is. Except for the range illuminated by the light column, the surroundings are dark and silent. The only sound I can hear is my own footsteps and the sound of water dripping onto the ground.
Over time, those with low stress tolerance might become mentally ill.
"arrive."
Zhang Mu was wondering whether Leah's journey back to Kas Town would be smooth. He was going to Kas Town first after exiting the maze to check it out. Suddenly he heard Frederica's words and looked up.
The beam of the flashlight fell on a stone door with a strange relief.
The stone door was extremely tall. Zhang Mu walked to the door frame and looked up, feeling like an ant standing under human feet.
Frederica followed and looked around.
The two huge doors were not completely closed, leaving a slight gap in the middle.
Of course, this is only for the door itself. If it were the two of them, this "gap" would be easy enough for them to pass through.
The two men took a few steps forward, leaned over the door with their hands, and poked their heads in one after another.
Behind the door was a cave that was even more exaggerated in scale than the entrance hall.
In the open space not far away, there was an undead knight with ashes and ice chips flying all over his body, and the black spear in his hand reflected a cold light.
A rough estimate is that there are at least hundreds of them.
To their left and right, dozens of silver treasure chests were scattered around.
Looking past the wandering undead knights, there is a stone staircase leading upwards.
At the end of the stone stairs, there was a throne made of bones, and an ordinary human-shaped skeleton sat on it. His right hand was leaning on a bone sword, his left arm was resting on the armrest, and his head was slightly drooped, as if he was sleeping.
Although the skeleton is only the size of a normal human, the two will never underestimate its strength.
Zhang Mu glanced at the more than ten golden wooden boxes stacked on both sides of the throne and almost drooled.
After they had almost figured out the situation in the cave, they quietly retracted their heads and retreated hundreds of meters before stopping.
"Zhang Mu." Frederica held up a flashlight. "What a shame. It's a wasted trip."
"That's the Skeleton King. He can kill us with just one finger. Even if he doesn't attack, we can't deal with those great knight-level undead knights."
What she said was indeed right, but Zhang Mu didn't want to give up.
Normally, only the top magic families and adventure groups have the opportunity to get their hands on the final treasure of the maze.
Because a team with average strength can't even think of reaching the door of the final treasure trove, because the monsters and monsters on the way make it impossible to get through.
Even if Zhang Mu used the resurrection function and rushed forward, the high-level monsters could kill him with just one blow. If he ran one step at a time after resurrection, he would not be able to run far until the maze was closed.
But now, I was extremely lucky and fell into a secret passage, and arrived at the door of the final treasure trove without encountering any monsters.
Zhang Mu would not be willing to die unless he touched something.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I think we should still give it a try."
"Mr. Zhang Mu!"
"Don't worry." Zhang Mu waved his hand and took out a grenade and a smoke bomb from his storage bag. "Look, with these, I can guarantee to get at least one silver treasure chest."
He spoke with confidence, but Frederica remained stern: "Even if there are two, three, or even more treasure chests,
It is not as precious as life."
"Zhang Mu, the treasure is valuable only if you are still alive."
"let me try."
Frederica fell silent, staring at Zhang Mu.
After a long while, she whispered, "Even if I turn around and leave, you will go in alone, right?"
"kindness."
"Zhang Mu, I acknowledge your courage, but this is not the way to use courage. This is courting death."
"I will never die at the hands of a monster. I promise."
The two of them met in silence. Frederica held the bow and turned to walk towards the door: "I will help you use arrows to contain the Undead Knight outside the door."
"But please note that if you are surrounded by the Undead Knights and cannot break out, I will not be able to save you."
"If that happens, just turn around and run."
"I will."
They came to the crack in the door.
Frederica leaned against the door, saying nothing.
Zhang Mu didn't say anything. He called out the inventory and scrolled to the space where grenades and smoke bombs were stored.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he reached into the storage bag at his waist and pretended to take out five smoke bombs from the bag.
Pull the bolt and throw it into the pile of undead knights with all your strength.
"laugh--"
Thick white smoke spread out instantly. Zhang Mu squeezed through the crack in the door and rushed desperately to the corner where the silver treasure chests were scattered.
On the way, keep throwing smoke bombs to completely cover the Undead Knights, and throw grenades at the opposite wall of the cave to mislead them.
good results.
"Dare to disturb my Lord's sleep! Die!"
There was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves as they charged towards the direction of the grenade explosion.
Zhang Mu on this side ran wildly around the smoke and finally touched the first silver treasure chest before the Undead Knight could react.
Get rich, get rich!
The moment he touched it, the silver treasure chest disappeared out of thin air, followed by the second and the third.
When his right hand reached for the fourth one, Frederica's scream came: "Zhang Mu!"
"escape!"
As the shouting reached his ears, Zhang Mu sensed strange magical fluctuations coming from the throne.
But he ignored all that and put the fourth silver treasure chest at hand into the inventory, and threw a smoke bomb at his feet.
"Human...human."
The harsh sound of voices, as if a sharp object was rubbing against a blackboard, made Zhang Mu's consciousness blurry for a moment.
When I woke up, I was already engulfed in white smoke.
With a sigh of relief, he turned and ran towards the door.
Everyone is awake, run quickly, otherwise it will be too fun to be guarded by the corpse.
The Undead Knight who was led to the opposite side seemed to receive instructions from his boss.
The sound of horse hooves paused for a few seconds, and then quickly approached Zhang Mu in the pitch-black smoke.
Zhang Mu didn't think of turning back to fight the enemy, as that would be a suicidal act, so he just kept running.
"Whoosh-"
There was a sound of breaking air approaching from behind, and before he could react, a spear pierced his chest.
The pain surged into his brain, Zhang Mu endured it, grasped the tip of the spear and pulled it out, blood gushed out like a column.
The fatal wound took his life. He fell forward while running. The moment he fell to the ground, the wound seemed to be kissed by God and healed instantly.
Then he got up and continued running as if nothing had happened.
After a few seconds, Zhang Mu rushed out of the smoke and waved his hand towards the crack of the door more than ten meters away with a playful smile: "We got it, let's leave quickly."
"careful!"
Seeing that he was unharmed, Frederica's tense expression relaxed, but suddenly turned into horror again.
There was fear in her tone as she shouted, raised her foot through the crack in the door, rushed towards Zhang Mu, drew her bow and shot three arrows in a row at his back.
"If you disturb my Lord, I will punish you with death!"
The horse under the Undead Knight jumped high out of the smoke, raised its spear and pointed it at Zhang Mu's vest.
As it fell, three arrows accurately hit the tip of its spear, knocking the spear slightly off balance.
