Chapter Seventy-Seven: Entering the Mausoleum
In an alley northeast of Tristram City shrouded in gray fog, a figure covered in charred soot was lying quietly within the collapsed walls of a building.
He moved vigilantly forward from the shadows, trying not to make any sound.
Not far in front of him was a huge cemetery, the walls of which were tattered and full of scorched marks from the flames of war.
Inside the cemetery, there is only a huge minaret-shaped mausoleum, which sits quietly in the middle of the cemetery, and looks particularly eerie and eerie under the shadow of the royal palace not far behind it.
Outside the collapsed parapet of the cemetery, dozens of heavily armed skeleton guards were patrolling the entire cemetery.
And inside the cemetery, you can faintly see more skeleton guards in orderly branches everywhere, guarding this evil tomb like guarding the emperor's tomb before his death.
"Isa, is there any good way?"
A figure wrapped in soot crouched beside a broken wall, creeping its head out of the shadows of the wall.
This person was none other than Xue Hua, who had infiltrated Tristram, and after nearly half a day of groping in the fog, he finally found the source of the gray fog a few hours ago, which was the location of Tristram's royal tomb.
However, the tight defenses outside the mausoleum made him feel a little tricky, these necromantic guards did not need to rest or change shifts, and they could just keep patrolling all the time.
But he didn't have that much time to spend with them, so he had to find a way to get through the Skeletron Guards.
"Juggernaut, there is no good way to sneak into the tomb without being discovered by the other party**.
The swarm cannot move within the area covered by the gray fog, and even the subterranean will be attacked by the gray fog, so the only feasible way for now is to force it in. ”
Isha's voice was slightly tired, it had been eroded by the gray mist, and although it recovered a lot quickly after being treated in the Leviathan, the physical and mental exertion was very great.
"If you break through......" Xue Hua frowned when he heard this, he wasn't sure about it, after all, he was just a little necromancer who had just reached level 33, even if the battle strengthened by various evolutions was much stronger than that of an ordinary level 33 necromancer, but it was not the opponent of so many level 60 monster clones......
"Juggernaut, you can take cover with orbital bombardment." Isha's prompt sounded in the mind of the main nest, and this method also made Xue Hua's eyes light up.
When he broke into the gray fog before, he had deliberately kept Isa's second-level commander skills useless, so that they could be used for the most difficult offensive battles.
Isn't this one of the "most difficult" situations he had ever envisioned?
"Okay, then let's do it, Isha, you help me plan the breakout path and the coverage of the orbital bombardment, and I'll prepare."
Xue Hua nodded, and asked the adjutant to start planning immediately, while he used the cover of the shadow next to him to get as close as possible in the direction of the cemetery.
A few minutes later, Xue Hua had already climbed under the roof of a building that had been thrown into the clearing, which was already the closest distance to the cemetery, and there was no obstacle to dodge any further.
"Isa, okay, no."
"You've done the math, Juggernaut, please follow the planned route."
As she spoke, Isha put a circuit map into the mind of the main nest, which clearly marked Xue Hua's route and the coverage of the orbital bombardment.
The adjutant's plan was to prepare to extend ten close-in spore cannons in a straight line to the interior of the cemetery, and with the help of the spore cannons' bombardment cover, Xue Hua could safely break into the interior of the cemetery with the shelling fire.
The purpose of this plan was not to destroy, but to raid and cover, and the time was quite tight, so Xue Hua had to keep the route in mind and move quickly.
"I've made a note of it, and I'm ready to get started." Xue Hua rehearsed the route map twice in his mind with his eyes closed, and then nodded violently, and slowly bowed his body from under the broken roof fragments.
"The shelling is about to begin! Five, four, three, two, one, Spore Mine has been launched! ”
As Isha's countdown ended, a pitch-black dimensional door suddenly cracked in the sky above a collapsed gap in the cemetery's parapet.
All the patrolling skeleton guards felt the destructive power coming from inside the dimensional gate, and they all drew their matching knives at their waists and raised their shields in the direction of the dimensional gate, ready to meet the arrival of the enemy.
Unfortunately, while the Skeleton Guards appear to be well-trained, the ones that emerge from the Dimensional Gate are not any enemies.
It's dark green spore mines!
Rumble!!
Boom Boom Boom !!
The spore mines were vertically arranged in a "1" shape in mid-air, and they bombarded all the way from outside the parapet wall of the cemetery to the side of the mausoleum inside the parapet wall very rhythmically.
In the dark green smoke of the explosion, a figure holding a crown in his left hand and a staff in his right hand quickly burst into the defense line of the skeleton guards with a series of explosions, and all the skeleton guards in front of him were blown into bone fragments by the spore mines that fell from the sky.
With the cover of orbital bombardment, Xue Hua successfully rushed into the interior of the cemetery, although the skeleton guards outside the cemetery had begun to organize and prepare to come in to search for him, but at this time, he had successfully pushed open the door of the mausoleum and plunged into the dark corridor under the mausoleum.
"Whew... Call... It's been a long time since I've run so hard... Call... I said, Isa, isn't the landing speed of the orbital bombing a little faster......"
In a corner of the mausoleum, Xue Hua sat on a stone box containing the funeral goods, panting heavily.
It was a life-and-death experience just now, and he almost couldn't keep up with Spore Ray's advance.
Those damn skeleton guards weren't easy to mess with, and once they lost the cover of orbital bombardment, Xue Hua didn't have the confidence to hold out for a few minutes surrounded by them.
But fortunately, the final result was not bad, and he successfully rushed into the mausoleum surrounded by so many level 60 monster clones.
After a short rest, Xue Hua gently shook the staff in his right hand, and a ball of illuminated energy glowing white light appeared on the tip of the staff.
With this fairly good light source, Xue Hua carefully raised a large number of surrounding environments.
On the stairs not far in front of him was the gate of the mausoleum, which should have been tightly sealed, but because Xue Hua had the crown of the Skeleton King in his hand, the seal did not stop him at all.
A small crack was now open in the crack of the mausoleum's door, and countless gray mist appeared from nowhere and was constantly drilling out of the crack, presumably this should be the source of the gray mist outside.
However, what made Xue Hua happy was that there was finally no terrible gray mist in this mausoleum.
Perhaps the seal in the mausoleum was not completely broken, and Skeletron's power was suppressed here.
