Chapter 126 The burial objects of the dead, making a fortune
Cao Xing was indeed moved.
However, he knew that this underground palace contained treasures that had been hidden for a long time.
Cao Xing asked: “What about the treasures in the underground palace?”
Undead Kalhan replied: “You even know this?” However, it is deep in the underground palace, in the last temple, and only those with royal blood can open it. “
Cao Xing was stunned, “Well, where should I find someone with royal bloodline?”
The undead shook his head, “We don’t know, but you can ask the undead of Duke Palatine, he should know.”
Cao Xing rolled his eyes.
This is setting a trap for yourself.
To unlock the treasure, you must find the royal bloodline of Ascalon.
And if you want to find the royal bloodline, you must rescue the undead of Duke Palatine.
Cao Xing said: “I understand, how do we get in now?”
“You come with me.”
After the undead Kalhan finished speaking, he took Cao Xing to the closed door.
Then, it pointed to several dusty coffins nearby.
As it moved, the stone slabs on the coffin opened, revealing a passage about two meters in diameter.
“This is the hidden passage we left. From here, you can enter the underground palace.”
“But be careful not to let the Soul Eater discover this passage.”
“Once the Soul Eater discovers this passage, we will destroy it without hesitation. By then, you will not be able to get out.”
Cao Xing nodded, “I understand.”
Then he looked at his men and said, “Let’s go down.”
Bald Braum hesitated for a moment, then jumped down with his shield in hand.
Then there’s Assam and Andrew.
As for Sarah, she has not been seen since entering the passage.
She is more ghostly than these Ascalonian undead.
But Cao Xing knew that Sarah had entered the tunnel.
It’s almost time for everyone to get in.
However, Blood Spider Queen Hilda remained standing where she was.
“Hilda, come in, why are you standing there in a daze?”
Hilda’s face was full of disgust and she said: “Hey! You actually want me, the Queen, to dig into such a dog hole!”
Cao Xing was speechless, “This is not a dog cave, this is an underground passage.”
“Stop talking nonsense and hurry in.”
Through this period of getting along, Cao Xing already knew that Xierda was an upright woman.
The short name is Tsundere.
Therefore, it is better to be more direct and tough towards this kind of woman.
Sure enough, under Cao Xing’s order, Xierda jumped into the hole even though her face was still full of reluctance.
Then, Cao Xing, Liu Muxue and Ji Xinyue walked at the back and jumped down too.
The view in front of him dimmed.
As the undead Calhan said, this is a dusty passage that has been filled with decaying smells and the air is not flowing properly.
After advancing for a certain distance.
Cao Xing felt that Liu Muxue beside him seemed a little scared, and his body was trembling slightly.
“Muxue, are you scared?”
Liu Muxue shook her head and said: “No…it’s not…”
Cao Xing smiled, and then directly grabbed her right hand.
A warm feeling came from the palm of my hand.
Suddenly, a trace of shame appeared on Liu Muxue’s face.
With the current relationship between the two of them, just holding hands, Liu Muxue would not have such a reaction.
But there is not only Cao Xing here, but also their subordinates and an outsider like Ji Xinyue.
Especially Ji Xinyue, she looked at the two men’s movements with surprise on her face.
For a moment, Liu Muxue was so ashamed that she lowered her head.
However, she made no other moves and let Cao Xing lead her.
The three of them continued to move forward.
However, not long after they advanced, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue discovered that there seemed to be one person missing among them.
Ji Xinyue disappeared without knowing when!
The two looked at each other and saw the shock in their eyes.
Cao Xing thought he was encountering a scene from a horror movie and wanted to warn everyone.
At this moment, footsteps gradually came from behind.
Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap
Through the dark environment, Cao Xing saw a figure.
At this time, she was holding an iron sword tightly with both hands, trembling her body, and looking around vigilantly.
At the same time, he was also speeding up his pace, as if he wanted to keep up with everyone.
Seeing Cao Xing and others waiting for her, Ji Xinyue said apologetically: “Sorry…”
However, she was so scared that her voice trembled.
Liu Muxue glanced at it, and then said softly: “Axing, take her with you…”
Cao Xing was stunned and understood what Liu Muxue meant.
So, he put the staff into his backpack.
Under Ji Xinyue’s surprised gaze, Cao Xing directly grabbed her right hand.
At this moment, Ji Xinyue only felt a pair of strong hands clasping her wrist, and then holding her forward.
“Well…”
Ji Xinyue felt all the shame rush into her heart instantly, even dispelling the fear in her heart.
At this moment, Cao Xing led the two beauties with one hand and the other, walking quickly in this dim tunnel.
Ji Xinyue was in a shy and confused state all the way.
After a moment, she seemed to come to her senses and whispered like a mosquito, “Thank you… thank you…”
Cao Xing nodded and said nothing more.
After walking for almost a kilometer.
A system prompt appears.
[You have entered the interior of the Ascalon Tomb…]
There was some light faintly ahead.
At this time, Bronn whispered from the front: “Hey! Look what I found, a sealed door!”
After hearing this, Cao Xing let go of the hands of the two beauties, then walked past the crowd.
Sure enough, he saw a stone door in front of Bronn.
【Authentic Gate】
[Armor: 300]
[Durability value: 50000]
[With special effects: self-destruction]
…
Seeing the special effects above, Cao Xing knew that this was not a door that could be opened with brute force.
But on it, he saw a hexagonal groove.
It just corresponds to the undead giving him something.
Cao Xing took out the [Ascalon Underground Palace Stone Talisman] and put it in.
A faint light flashed, and the stone door slowly opened.
At this moment, Cao Xing silently retreated behind Bronn in case any monster suddenly jumped out.
“Bron, protect me.”
The bald Bron directly raised his shield and stood in front of Cao Xing.
However, when the stone door was completely opened, there was no attack from any monster.
Cao Xing stuck his head out and began to investigate the situation inside.
This seems to be a hidden secret room.
The dim lights, the cobwebs all over the corners, and the open coffins everywhere made this place look equally eerie.
Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was going to fight as soon as he came out.
“Come on, let’s go in.”
After receiving Cao Xing’s instructions, Bron took the lead in drilling out of the passage.
Then, everyone followed and entered the secret room.
When Ji Xinyue and Liu Muxue walked out holding hands with each other, the door behind them closed again.
Cao Xing observed the layout of the secret room, and then began to search around.
A buckle here, a knock there, even the coffins were not spared.
I saw Cao Xing squatting in front of the coffin and studying.
Ji Xinyue asked doubtfully from the side: “Boss Cao Xing, what are you doing?”
Cao Xing shook his head and said: “It’s nothing. Let’s see if there are any Ascalonian names on these coffins. They are all guardians of the underground palace and brave warriors.”
“Although he died here, he shouldn’t have left even a name.”
Ji Xinyue nodded suddenly.
However, after hearing this, Renesi on the side had a moved look in her eyes.
As an Ascalonian, I feel even more deeply about Cao Xing’s words.
Rhaenys saluted respectfully: “You are a kind lord. Rhaenys represents these dead souls and expresses her sincere respect to you.”
[Your territory member: Rhaenys Hawkeye was moved by your words, her loyalty has been increased, current loyalty: 95]
Cao Xing looked guilty, but still nodded.
Liu Muxue, who was behind, seemed to see something and covered her face with a chuckle.
Cao Xing stood up and found that these coffins could not be taken away or disassembled.
There was some regret in my heart.
At this time, Cao Xing seemed to remember something and glanced inside the coffin.
This glance really made him discover something.
It appeared to be a blackened bag.
Cao Xing was just about to reach out and pick it up, but he felt a sharp sight behind him.
That was Rhaenys’s gaze.
He coughed twice and said: “This underground palace has fallen. We should take out the relics of the dead and preserve the last traces of their existence.”
After hearing this, the gaze behind him gradually disappeared and turned into a gentle gaze.
And Cao Xing also breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought to himself: “Fortunately, Rhaenys’s loyalty is high enough, she is willing to believe whatever she says.”
“A woman like Hilda is not easy to deceive, no, she is not easy to deal with.”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing went to pick up the bag inside with confidence.
A system prompt appears.
[Obtained: Ascalon soldier’s funerary bag, is it open? 】
Cao Xing’s eyes lit up.
“The burial bag? What can be found in it?”
He clicked on it directly.
[Open successfully]
[Obtain ancient brass coins*3]
[Obtain magic crystal*5]
[Obtain broken gold nuggets*3]
[Get the book: Blue Pearl]
…
Cao Xing was shocked when he saw the contents of the funerary bag! “Fuck! Ancient brass coins!”
He clearly remembered that the snow demon he killed before also exploded several ancient brass coins.
According to the system, as long as you collect 100 of these things, you can exchange them for an ancient treasure chest.
And there is a high probability that ancient weapons can be found in ancient treasure chests!
Through transactions with the Moon God Chamber of Commerce during the day, Cao Xing knew that any ancient weapon could be sold for a high price of more than 100,000 kronor.
Unexpectedly, he could also pick up ancient brass coins here, and Cao Xing was in a good mood.
In addition, those broken gold nuggets add up to dozens of grams and can be sold for a good price.
“Not bad, not bad! This underground palace is so big, there must be a lot of coffins like this. If we can find more burial objects, we will make a fortune this time!”
Cao Xing suddenly became excited.
“Look inside these coffins and see if you can find other burial objects.”
At this point, Cao Xing said with a serious expression: “Let us take away the last traces of these deceased people, then find a suitable place, bury them in the ground again, and set up a new tomb for them.”
At this moment, Rhaenis’s eyes once again showed emotion.
It seems that he did not expect that Cao Xing valued these Ascalonian relics so much.
However, what she didn’t know was that Cao Xing would indeed bury the funerary bag.
It was just casual to him.
However, he had already taken out the contents and buried some empty bags.
Other men also began to look around.
Not only that, Cao Xing was also banging on the walls of this secret room.
Ji Xinyue’s mouth opened slightly, as if she was surprised by Cao Xing’s actions.
However, Liu Muxue on the side had long been used to it and started to explore around.
Unfortunately, Cao Xing did not find any hidden treasure chests or storage boxes in this secret room.
However, Rhaenys had an unexpected gain.
Holding five black bags in her hands, she came to Cao Xing and handed them over respectfully.
“Lord, these are all the bags of relics found in those coffins. Please put them away.”
Cao Xing’s eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at the five bags.
Then, he nodded solemnly and said, “Okay, Renes, I will keep these relic bags well.”
Taking it from Rhaenys, the system prompt appeared.
[Get funerary bag*5, do you want to open it? 】
Cao Xing did not turn it on immediately, but turned around and turned his back to Renice.
Click Confirm again.
“yes.”
[Open successfully. 】
[Obtain ancient brass coins*14]
[Obtain Mana Crystal*27]
[Get a gold watch*1]
[Get Silver Sword*1]
[Get gorgeous hairpins*2]
[Obtain broken gold nuggets*12]
[Obtain rotten magic seeds*32]
[Get the book: Langton’s Poems]
[Get the book: Introduction to Herbalism]
…
Looking at this pile of things, Cao Xing’s eyes showed strong joy.
The contents of the five funerary bags are all different.
But each bag contained two or three ancient brass coins.
In addition, those gold watches, silver swords, etc. are all handicrafts.
The attack power is not high, but it can be sold for money.
“Wuhu, this is more fun than opening a treasure chest!”
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad. I gained a lot of money just after I came in.”
At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly heard the sound of crawling animals coming from outside the secret room.
Ibobo…Ibobo……
Cao Xing made a gesture and everyone stopped.
Even the breathing slowed down.
After a while, wait for the sound to fade away.
Everyone relaxed again.
Then he continued to search around the secret room.
At this time, Liu Muxue groped for a moment in front of a wall.
She seemed to have discovered something and whispered: “Axing, there seems to be a gate here.”
After hearing this, Cao Xing walked over quickly.
On this wall, I saw a deeply hidden door, which looked no different from the surrounding walls.
But in the middle area, there is a concave hexagonal groove.
“Axing, is it possible to go inside the underground palace by going out from here?”
Cao Xing nodded, “Well, the undead Kalhan said that after exiting this secret room, you will enter a corridor, and then through the corridor you can go to the four major temples and Kasha Cathedral.”
“Now, we have to seize the time and act.”
After saying that, Cao Xing took out the [Underground Palace Stone Talisman] again and put it into the groove.
“Crunch! Crunch!”
There was a sound of a wheel turning.
The wall in front of me began to slowly rise upwards.
In front of Cao Xing and others, a wider room gradually appeared.
Then, Cao Xing led his men out one after another.
After everyone left the secret room, the stone door closed automatically.
“Rumble…”
The stone door behind it fell down again and returned to the shape of a wall. Even if you look closely, you can’t see any flaws.
At this time, Cao Xing looked around.
This new room has a large space, with a floor height of five or six meters. Even if it is underground, it does not feel oppressive.
However, Cao Xing also saw three deep passages appearing in every corner of the room.
For a moment, Cao Xing didn’t know which way to go.
Cao Xing was a little confused and said: “What the hell, even this undead Kalhan can’t explain clearly.”
“This underground palace is so big, which way should we go and where should we open the four major temples?”
Others also looked confused.
At this time, Ji Xinyue whispered: “I…here is a map of the underground palace…”
Cao Xing’s eyes lit up, and then he asked: “Where did you get the map?”
“A few days ago…an undead gave it to me…”
Ji Xinyue replied cautiously.
Cao Xing nodded, and then came to Ji Xinyue’s side to check the marks on the map.
After a while, a look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes.
“It turns out that this corridor is called the Everlasting View Corridor, and it connects most areas of the entire underground palace.”
“Go through the passage on the left and you can reach the center of the palace, the Temple of Eternal Hope.”
Liu Muxue reminded: “Axing, didn’t the undead say that the Temple of Eternal Hope has fallen and that there are soul-eating monsters everywhere inside?”
Cao Xing nodded, “Yes, so we can’t take the passage on the left. We have to go to the other two passages first. These two passages connect the four major temples.”
He studied the map and thought: “The closest place to us is the Shield Temple, which is the passage in the middle.”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing has already made a decision.
“Let’s go, take the middle first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bronn took the lead and stepped into the dim corridor in the middle.
Everyone followed and entered.
When Cao Xing passed by the passage on the left, he felt a sudden tremor in his backpack.
“Um?”
Cao Xing looked confused and looked at the items in his backpack.
Then it was discovered that the [Demon-Swallowing Box] purchased from Marita was about to be moved.
The demon sealed inside seemed to sense something and was eager to come out.
Cao Xing thought for a moment, “The passage on the left is connected to the Temple of Eternal Hope, and behind the temple is Kasha Cathedral. According to Calhan, the soul-eating demon is there.”
“It seems that this Demon-Swallowing Box must have sensed the breath of other demons, so it wants to come out, right?”
Shaking his head, Cao Xing reinstalled the [Demon Swallowing Box] without thinking too much and continued to step into the middle passage.
…
The environment in the middle passage is also very dark, but it is still spacious.
And Cao Xing even saw several opened coffins on both sides of the passage.
Just as he was about to see if there was anything inside the coffin, there was a sudden sound of animals crawling in front of him.
“Rustling…Russing…”
Cao Xing made a gesture and quickly led everyone back dozens of meters.
At the same time, they saw a slender monster appearing in front of them, one and a half meters tall and about two to three meters long.
This monster looks like a lizard, with its long tail swinging in mid-air.
The whole body has dark green skin with many spots.
The hind limbs are strong and powerful, and the forelimbs are slightly curved.
It can also walk upright and move very quickly.
It was wandering around, its nose constantly sniffing the air, as if it smelled something.
Cao Xing glanced at its properties.
[Soul Eater lv26]
[Race: Soul Eater]
[HP: 13370/13370]
[Attack power: 667~691]
[Skills: Spiritual pressure (suppresses the spirit body, reducing all attributes by 30%, and making it unable to move within 5 seconds, cooling time 60 seconds) Soul-dispersing Claw (swinging claws, causing 155%*2 damage to the enemy) tearing damage, if used on a spirit body, it will fall into a state of soul tearing, and the spirit body will suffer great pain. The cooling time is 40 seconds) Soul Devouring (directly swallowing the spirit body, causing 250% damage, if the spirit body If the body dies, 50% of its own blood volume will be restored, and the cooling time is 120 seconds)]
[Talent: Soul-Eating Body (When attacking a spirit body, ignores all defenses of the opponent and causes an additional 100% damage to it. When attacked by a spirit body, the damage is reduced by 50%)]
…
“Good guy, it turns out this is the Soul Eater.”
“Is this skill specifically designed to deal with spirit bodies? This is too perverted!”
Cao Xing suddenly nodded.
No wonder the third-level boss-level Calhan Undead said he couldn’t defeat ordinary Soul Eaters.
This is completely suppressed.
Unless it is a leader-level undead, it may be able to deal with ordinary soul-eating monsters of the same level.
Of course, these skills of the Soul Eater have no effect on living people like them.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing gradually felt confident.
At this moment, this soul-eating monster seemed to be looking for something.
Cao Xing and others are ready for battle.
However, it doesn’t seem to be looking for Cao Xing and the others.
Instead, he looked at the open coffins in the corner.
Among them, there is a coffin that has not yet been opened, but the stone slab on it has become loose.
The soul-eating monster seemed to smell something. It moved its strong hind limbs and quickly approached the coffin.
Then, under the surprised eyes of Cao Xing and others, the soul-eating monster stretched out its hook-like forelimbs and began to attack the stone slabs above the coffin crazily.
Click! Click!
The sharp claws of the Soul Eater kept scratching on the stone slab, making goosebumps-inducing sounds.
Under its attack, a gap seemed to be ripped out of the stone slab on the coffin.
There was a whisper of the dead inside the coffin.
“Who dares to disturb my sleep?”
Then the next moment, a scream came.
“Ah! It’s the Soul Eater!”
A female Ascalon undead was directly picked up by the shoulders by the Soul Eater and grabbed out.
This undead seemed to still want to resist.
However, the Soul Eater directly activated the [Spiritual Pressure] skill.
The body of the Ascalon undead suddenly stiffened, as if it was frozen, unable to move.
As if the Soul Eater had found some delicious food, it opened its big black mouth and bit into it.
【-3473】
A horrific injury occurs!
“ah!!”
This female Ascalon undead let out bursts of screams like a victimized soul, but in the [spiritual pressure] state, she was unable to make any movements.
He could only watch as the soul-eating monster bit into pieces and devoured his soul body bit by bit.
The Soul Eater’s suppression of these undead is too harsh!
Seeing this scene, Renesi next to her had an unbearable look in her eyes.
She looked at Cao Xing as if asking for help, “Lord…”
Cao Xing nodded, and then directly ordered: “Go ahead, kill this soul-eating monster!”
