Chapter 210 The owner of the ancient tomb
Chapter 210 The owner of the ancient tomb
Just as Xiao Jie was easily killing monsters and leveling up with Qianlong Wuyong and others, the expedition team gradually went deeper into the ancient tomb.
Xianyu was still leading the way and walking in front. He felt nervous and uneasy, but at the same time he was expecting something.
This trip to the ancient tomb is probably his last time to invest. Whether he can make a comeback depends on this.
We have to come up with some good stuff.
While walking, I was cheering for my teammates in YY.
"That idiot Yin Yue Sui Feng, just run away, it will be a good thing that we can have fewer people to share the money with - follow closely!"
Xianyu walked with a knife in his hand, muttering to himself as he looked at the dark tomb passage in front of him. In his heart, he already regretted being the leader. Damn, this ancient tomb was too creepy. There was complete silence all around. At least some background music should be provided.
"Hey, who among you has a summoned beast? Come and scout the way. It's a bit stressful for me to use my face to scout the way.
"Let me do it." Bai Ze said.
Muttering something in your mouth - some spells in this game that take a long time to cast have corresponding incantations.
"The Supreme One has decreed that the response must not stop. Heavenly soldiers who protect the law, please obey my orders, summon the heavenly soldiers - hurry up and obey the command!"
I saw a flash of white light, and a mysterious magic circle appeared on the ground. When the white light dissipated, a heavenly soldier in silver helmet and armor was summoned out.
The guardian celestial soldier: "Humph, a mortal Taoist priest, you don't even have the ability to fight yourself?"
Bai Ze was not polite either, "Stop talking nonsense and lead the way."
Although the soldier was foul-mouthed, he was obedient and walked in front with a gun.
Xianyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked through a dark tomb passage, only to come to an empty tomb chamber. This should be the antechamber of the ancient tomb. It was empty, and there were many murals painted on the surrounding walls, which seemed to show several battles that Wang Chang, the Loyal and Marquis, had experienced during his lifetime.
In the mural, Wang Chang is wearing a goose-feather helmet and bright armor, looking domineering and powerful, leading thousands of troops and looking down on everyone.
There are several armored stone statues standing in the four corners of the hall.
Everyone was watching in wonder and quietly collecting information about the ancient tomb, hoping to see if they could find some intelligence from the murals.
"This Wang Chang must be a corrupt official. Damn, he built such a huge tomb."
"Didn't you see what's written on the stone tablet? Marquis Zhongwu. In the Zulong Empire, he was a very powerful official, a local lord."
"Hush, did you hear anything?"
Kara—the sound of rocks breaking was heard, and everyone held their breath at once.
"It's a statue!" someone exclaimed.
Then I saw that the stone shells on the surface of the four armored warrior statues slowly cracked, revealing their true bodies inside.
They turned out to be four zombie warriors with red eyes.
Armored Corpse Guardian (Tomb Guardian): Level 18 Elite. HP 1000.
"Get ready for battle!" Xianyu shouted hurriedly.
When everyone saw the monster appear, they panicked for a moment, but soon calmed down.
Four elite monsters are not a big problem. Twenty people against four, so we will win anyway.
Everyone rushed forward, and a few minutes later——
Furious Ninja: "Haha, our team is indeed very strong."
Raw Lemon: "That's right, we took down all four elites. That ultimate move you just made was really cool, Xianyu."
Empire Xiaoqi: "That's right, those little bastards left and left. We have seen everything."
Embroidered Fierce Zhang Fei: "Damn it, I almost died just now, how can you retreat just like that? You don't even consider your teammates at all!"
Saint Solo: "Damn, it's shipped! It's a blue suit."
It was a good start, with four elite monsters directly dropping one blue item and three green items, which immediately boosted the team's morale.
Everyone rested and continued on their way.
--------
"It's shipped! Not bad, the mysterious piece of meat is worth one or two taels of silver." Looking at the things dropped by the zombie giant rat, Qianlong Wuyong said with satisfaction.
"What is this thing used for?" Xiao Jie asked curiously. He had also picked up a piece before.
"You can give it to the Taiyin Fahui to exchange for reputation. Corpse-driving sorcerers, ghost cursers, and ghost generals will all spawn a lot of them. They are sold for one or two taels of silver each at the auction house."
That's it... Xiao Jie thought it was something good. In fact, one tael of silver is not a small amount. However, unknowingly, he no longer thinks highly of one tael of silver.
"Brother Qianlong, how about we explore the other two tunnels?" he said with an itchy feeling in his heart.
Although you don't dare to go into the ancient tomb, you can still have some fun in the mines.
There is more than one passage leading down to the first level. This mine is interconnected. God knows how big it is and how many elites and bosses are lurking there.
"No, let's just level up here slowly today. I really don't want to take people on risks. If others seek death on their own, I won't even blink an eye no matter how many people die. But if someone dies because of my decision, I will always feel that I owe them something. Hey, I didn't want to be the president of this branch in the first place, but the president insisted on doing so, and I have no choice."
It seemed to be the depressing environment in the cave, or maybe it was because he had become familiar with Xiao Jie, so Qianlongwuyong started to speak more often.
"There's nothing we can do about it. There are bound to be casualties in a team fight. It's impossible for everything to go smoothly all the time." Xiao Jie consoled him intelligently, "You can actually think of it this way. If someone else had been in charge, more people might have died. You actually saved a few more people."
Qianlong Wuyong laughed and said, "Haha, you can say that."
"By the way, what's the matter with salted fish? Why are you so persistent in making a fortune?"
Qianlong Wuyong sighed, "When he first played the game, he spent millions of dollars in order to develop quickly in the early stage, and owed a lot of high-interest loans. Although he gradually gained some benefits later, he had to spend more money. He had to buy sword skills, learn internal skills, and prepare some life-saving props. His luck was not very good. He didn't save any money after practicing to level 30. Now in reality, people are chasing him to collect debts. If he doesn't come up with something, he will be forced to execute the debt, and he won't even have a house to live in."
Xiao Jie was surprised and said, "He is still afraid of debt collection? After all, he is a swordsman of more than 30 levels!"
"Haha, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you can't kill people in the street, right? The Game Management Bureau is not a pushover. Of course, he still has a way out, such as being a boxer, participating in competitions, or being a coach in a martial arts gym - but I doubt if he can teach clearly. The martial arts in this game seem to be added to our brains. It's okay to use them, but it's not easy to explain the theory clearly."
"After so many years of experiencing life and death, how could I be willing to work for others when I have to retire?"
Xiao Jie thought so too. Once one obtains such powerful strength, it would be difficult to be manipulated like an ordinary person.
"Then why is he still a swordsman at level 30?"
“Who knows? When I first joined the guild at level 20, I was still a bandit. I don’t know how I got this profession. My core skill is looting, which allows me to rob NPCs. Maybe I was really short of money at the time.
But robbing too many times can easily trigger a wanted order, so he doesn't dare to do that too often. As a result, his account is completely ruined. This situation is not uncommon, especially for those who had an unsatisfactory first career and wanted to try a second career but failed. There are all kinds of second careers in this game, so some people who don't have a good basic career will think about taking a gamble. If they can gamble out a rare career, then they will make a profit.
But obviously, he lost the bet.”
Xiao Jie sighed in his heart, he originally thought that all the game players were very powerful and as long as they were not dead they would be the top people, but he didn't expect that they would be so miserable.
"Do you think they will be able to make a fortune from the tomb?"
Qianlong Wuyong sighed, "Xianyu is a man who can be very ruthless when pushed to the limit. I think no matter what the outcome, he will definitely go all the way to the end."
--------
"Xianyu, go ahead, what are you waiting for?" The teammates behind him encouraged him again.
"Wait for your sister!" Xianyu said unhappily. In front of him was a spacious corridor, the floor of which was paved with stone slabs, and the pattern on each stone slab was different.
Seems to be arranged according to some specific rules.
In the middle of the corridor, there lay a corpse that had turned into dry bones, with crossbow arrows piercing its body.
There is obviously a mechanism in this corridor.
"Does anyone among you know anything about Qimen Dunjia, formations, mechanisms, etc?" Everyone remained silent. How could a group of physics departments have such high-end talents?
Xianyu looked at the two wizards again.
"Don't look at me. I'm just going to throw fireballs, boom, boom."
"I know the Rune Armor Technique. How about I cast a Rune Armor Technique on you before you go up?"
Fuck your sister.
Bai Ze had used that rune armor technique before. It could add a layer of rune armor to a unit and absorb a certain amount of damage. That thing was just a consolation. It could definitely resist three or five arrows, but looking at the number of arrows on the corpse, it definitely couldn't withstand it.
"Let the summoned creatures go! Clear the mines with their bodies."
"Okay." Bai Ze gave an order, and the soldier cursed angrily but still walked forward.
Walking forward along the stone road, after taking a few steps, the floor under my feet suddenly sank, and a row of crossbows immediately popped out from the surrounding walls.
Swish, swish, swish! More than a dozen sharp arrows shot out from both sides, instantly making five or six holes in the heavenly soldiers.
Fortunately, the heavenly soldier had enough health and could continue to move forward while carrying the arrows. After he had taken a few steps, the floor sank again with a click, whoosh whoosh whoosh!
This time he couldn't hold on, and disappeared in a flash of white light.
"I think everyone has remembered the ground that the Heavenly Soldier walked on just now. Next, who has a baby?"
"Let me do it."
Ye Luo said this and sent her zombies up as well.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Puff puff puff! Ah!
"Wolf on!"
Another tamer's pet came up.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Puff puff puff! Ouch!
"Who is the general? Send a guard up!"
"Guards are expensive! They cost money to recruit."
"Don't worry, I'll reimburse you later."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Puff, puff! "Ah, Master, avenge me..."
Finally, with the help of summoned creatures to clear the mines on the pond road, everyone finally found a safe path.
Finally they arrived at the stone door of the main tomb chamber. Xianyu went up and pushed the stone door open. A huge tomb chamber suddenly appeared in front of everyone. A gorgeous sarcophagus was placed in the middle of the tomb chamber, and around the sarcophagus, armor, weapons, bamboo slips and other items were neatly placed.
On the left and right sides of the tomb chamber, there are three stone doors at the back, but it is unknown where they lead to.
"Hahaha, there are so many treasures. Oh—damn, it's gray equipment."

【The Art of War to Stop the War (Lost Book)
Use: Unlock an ancient soldier for your faction.
Item Description: A long-lost work on military tactics, which records the training methods of a special type of soldiers in ancient times. Military governments in various states are very interested in such items. 】
"Good stuff, absolutely good stuff. It's worth at least a few hundred taels! The price will definitely increase in the future." Bai Ze said excitedly.
He said this for a reason. Now all the guilds are planning to establish a nation. Once the nation is established successfully, they can train the army. The price of this thing will definitely increase at that time.
You can unlock an ancient type of soldier - in this kind of primitive fairy world view, the older something is, the more powerful it is.
But now I can only send it to the military office in exchange for some professional skills, top-quality equipment and other rewards, which is a bit of a loss.
After hearing Bai Ze's analysis, everyone became excited. This thing was something that big guilds would pay a lot of money to buy, so it definitely couldn't be cheap. Now they could make their money back in no time.
If such good things can be found even among the burial objects, it is conceivable that the things Wang Chang buried with him must have been even better.
"The real good stuff must be inside the sarcophagus!"
"You're right. Wang Chang, the dignified Marquis of Zhongwu, must be wearing the finest clothes. They are all in your coffin."
Although the current gains are not small, they are just barely enough to break even or at most make a small profit. Whether this one can make a big profit depends on this deal. "
However, when the time came, Xianyu became a little nervous.
Just as they were about to open the coffin, Ye Luo suddenly said, "I say, don't rush to open the museum, let's take a look at the things in the burial room first."
"Funerary chamber?"
"Yes, those are the two rooms on the sides. In the general structure of a tomb, the two rooms on both sides of the main tomb chamber are the side chambers for burial objects. They are used to store burial objects. There must be good things in them."
Deidarachi said, "Beauty, how do you know so clearly?"
“I read it in a book.”
"Are there any books on how to rob graves?"
"Grave Robbers' Chronicles."
Everyone was speechless.
Xianyu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's open the burial chamber first, and then the main coffin."
He was somewhat nervous. If he couldn't come up with something good, he wouldn't be able to pay back the millions of high-interest loans he had.
Let's leave this suspense till the end.
Everyone then split up and opened an ear chamber each.
Xianyu brought a group of people to the ear chamber on the left, opened it, and found it was empty.
"Hey, why is it empty?"
"It's not empty, look here!" someone shouted.
Then I saw two broken iron chains hanging on the wall.
"It seems like there was someone tied up here before!"
"Damn, could it be the Tomb Raider?"
Everyone reacted immediately. Wasn’t there an iron chain tied to the body of the Tomb Corpse King?
But isn't the Tomb Corpse King the owner of this tomb? If he is tied here, then isn't there another person in the coffin?
Those who react quickly have already thought of this.
At this time, there was a cry of surprise from outside, "Oh my god, come quickly, Xianyu! There is a big monster."
"What's going on?" Xianyu asked in shock and anger.
"The Imperial Xiaoqi Bar's coffin has been opened!"
