Chapter 326: The Sun God's Secret Path
The undead swarmed.
The skeletal swordsmen awoke from their slumber and attacked the intruders who had stepped into the realm of the dead. The adventurers marched forward without stopping, brandishing their weapons and smashing bone racks one after another. For experienced adventurers, these ordinary undead creatures have no way to pose any threat to them, and those more powerful undead creatures will not pay attention to them, not because the easy victory makes them arrogant, but because they have their backs to the big tree to enjoy the shade -- there is a strong man in the legendary realm by their side, as long as they don't die, what else do they have to fear?
"Boom!!"
Another skeleton swordsman fell to the ground, but the adventurers did not take it lightly, because in front of them, a heavy sarcophagus was slowly floating, and then the lid of the pavilion was opened, and a skeleton that appeared to be draped in rags and held a staff made of white bones emerged from it. The dark eyes shone with a bright red glow condensed by cold negative energy, and just being gazed at by it, people couldn't help but feel their hairs stand on end. I saw that this monster stretched out its hand, and soon the skeletons that were originally scattered around it were regrouped under the invisible attraction, turning back into the original skeleton swordsman, and once again launched an attack on the adventurers.
"Corpse Witch!!"
Seeing the monster in front of them, the adventurers immediately screamed nervously. Among the undead, the Corpse Witch is the most powerful spell-casting unit after the Necromancer and the Lich, and even a whole team of well-armed adventurers can be wiped out at the hands of the Corpse Witch. It's the same as before. Just seeing this terrible monster, I'm afraid they're going to have to go home.
But this time. The situation is different. The moment they saw the corpse witch, the adventurers immediately retreated. Then, Jenn walked forward slowly. He reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, staring at the corpse witch suspended in the air in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, revealing a leisurely smile. Then, I saw Jenn just reach out and draw his sword, bringing up a dazzling cold light.
As early as when Jenn appeared, the corpse witch had already sensed an unusually terrifying force. It hurriedly raised the Bone Staff in its hand and attempted to attack Jenn. But before it could pronounce the first syllable. That silver-white sword light had already reached its eyes, and then it easily split the corpse witch in front of it into two along with the shield in front of it, and even the soul fire refined by the corpse witch essence could not block this fatal blow, completely dissipating in that dazzling brilliance.
With just one blow, the corpse witch who originally planned to show off his might in front of everyone was completely defeated. And the adventurers who saw this scene immediately became excited, they had never walked with a legendary powerhouse, and it was only at this time that these adventurers finally realized what it means to have their backs against a big tree to enjoy the shade. With such a legendary powerhouse covering themselves, what are they afraid of?
Come to think of it. For a while, the adventurers of the "Fairy and Treasure Chest" team were also demoralized, and once again launched an attack on the undead creatures who had been awakened by the corpse witch before. And these skeleton swordsmen naturally lost their original bravery after losing the command of the corpse witch, and they were cleaned up by the adventurers after dividing five by two.
After dealing with the monsters, all that's left is naturally to clean up the battlefield and pack up the loot. In fact, all the way. The "Elves and Chests" squad did get a lot of goodies. The path that Jenn had pointed out to them was dangerous, but because of this, it had not been sacked by adventurers, although such large mausoleums did not have many funerary goods like the tombs of nobles. But the adventurers still found a lot of good things.
Of course, according to the rules. They had to show these trophies to Jenn before deciding where they belonged. Because it was Jenn who hired them. So, in principle, their spoils during employment belong to the employer first, and then decide how to distribute them. However, to the reassurance of these adventurers, Jenn didn't seem to care much about the treasures here, and even some low-level magic weapons and equipment, he gave them to those adventurers without looking at them. This also made everyone feel a little more good and respect for Jenn, you must know that although magic equipment is not particularly rare in the Klein Continent, it is also a very valuable high-end product. Don't look at the low level of these magic equipment, it's no problem to put them on the auction floor and sell them for a few hundred gold coins. And for ordinary adventurers, even if they save for a lifetime, they may not be able to afford one such equipment, but Jenn doesn't even look at it. That alone is enough to leave those adventurers in the dust.
They even privately speculated whether their employer was the prince of a certain country, after all, such a young and powerful person with a strong hand and a good shot would certainly not be an ordinary person.
But in any case, as they went deep into the tomb, the little entanglement that everyone had with Jenn before was gone, and the first thing people cared about was their immediate interests. Although no one knows what dangers lie in the depths of the tombs, whether they are something they can deal with, and those terrible cultists. But with so much valuable equipment and items looted, adventurers have long since put their previous worries behind them, and now they just want to loot more treasures, more and better equipment, and obtain more lucrative profits.
The work of cleaning up the battlefield did not last long, after all, this is a tomb, not a treasure room, and even if there is any treasure, there will not be too much. In the end, only a few pieces of equipment were found, as well as a soul gem and some strange things. Among them, Jenn left behind a soul gem and a crystal statue - the former is the soul crystal of the corpse witch, which is also a common currency in the lower realm. The latter is that Jenn sees from the dungeon system that this is an experience enhancement item, in the game, this kind of item is used to fuse combat units to increase the experience level, there are not many but very useful. Generally, players will pile up some, because many times players with black faces may have to wait for the dungeon to develop to the late stage before summoning some powerful combat units, but these units are all level 1 when they are first summoned, and it is obvious that they cannot be the opponent of the invasion team of the high-level dungeon. Therefore, these experience items are used to increase their level. so that they can deal with those high-level adventuring teams. Naturally, the more such things the better, so he kept the crystal statue under the pretext of conducting research. However, there was no reaction from the adventurers. At most, it is just a sigh that this adult is really a scholar, and he is so interested in this kind of thing that seems to be useless.
Other than that, it was assigned to others at the direction of Jenn. As a high-level demon, Jenn naturally has a knack for identifying magical equipment, and this is also quite an important thing for an adventuring team. After all, many times people don't know what the use of these things in their hands is. In the Klein Continent, generally only specialized scholars and mages would have such skills. And now that Jenn has them appraised the equipment, it's a good thing.
Under Jenn's guidance, a thief took a piece of black leather armor with a silent circle etched on it, which allowed people to move without making a sound, which was naturally suitable for thieves. The Stone Heart Shield was given to the warriors of the team. According to Jenn's identification, there is a stone skin spell attached to it, which can be released once a day to protect the holder, and this kind of thing is naturally handed over to the MT in the team.
The mage robe found from the corpse witch was put away by Steve, after all, there were no mages in their team, and after Jenn's identification, this robe was used by black mages, and ordinary people were useless. Tillise wore robes, but as a priest, she was clearly not interested in the mage robes of the corpse witch. So in the end, I decided to put it away and find a place to sell it when I got out. The Corpse Witch's Bone Staff was completely destroyed by Jenn, of course, Jenn's reason was that such an evil thing was not suitable to remain in this world, in fact, this was also to disguise his identity. To play a role is to start with the smallest details. There can be no slackness. Since Jenn is playing the role of a devout believer of the Nine Saints on the main plane, it is natural that he should destroy this evil thing -- he doesn't want this thing anyway, and it just needs to be used for show.
But after that. The crowd still had a troublesome thing. They searched the entire tomb, but there was no way to go any further. There are passages in other places, but they are all dead ends. It seems that this is already the end of the entire mausoleum. And in the face of such a situation, the adventurers obviously have little to do.
"Mr. Jenn, our people have already searched for it, there are no roads or institutions here, what should I do next?"
After receiving the news from his subordinates, Steve could only reluctantly report the current situation to Jenn.
"What's next?"
Jenn was not surprised to hear Steve's report, in fact, he had taken the opportunity to investigate the tomb just now, and the emblem of the Temple of the Sun could indeed be seen here, and there was even an icon of Amunla, but it was too old and had been dilapidated. For the Temple of the Sun, it was clearly a religious shrine, and in Jenn's memory, such a place generally had its own secrecy. In fact, he had already vaguely felt the holy power of the sun god hidden in the surrounding circle, and it was obvious that this power was not enough to release a highly lethal trap, but to be used as a resonance. This means that the opening of this secret passage does not rely on simple mechanisms and magic, but on the resonance of holy power -- in layman's terms, it requires a follower of the sun god to perform divine magic to open the secret passage. It's the same as those devices on Earth that require fingerprints or eye scans to turn on.
For Jenn, though, that wasn't a problem.
"Miss Tillise, please come over for a moment."
"Ah, okay."
Hearing Jenn's call, Tillise hesitated for a moment, and then walked to Jenn's side, looking at him with a blushing face. Ever since yesterday's incident, Tillise had cowered in the face of Jenn and Aina, not knowing what to do. She didn't know if what she had seen before was a dream or reality, so that now facing Jenn, Tillise was also in a complicated mood and didn't know what to say.
"Sailun is the guide of the right path, I would like to ask you to point out where that secret passage is, is that okay?"
"Ah......... I, I'll try. ”
Hearing Jenn's words, Tillise hesitated for a moment before nodding. Then she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed her somewhat chaotic thoughts, and then prayed in a low voice. Then, I saw Tillise open her eyes and take half a step back, the stick in her hand standing straight on the ground.
Only this time the stick did not quickly guide the people, on the contrary, it seemed to sway from side to side as if it was a little hesitant, but it just did not fall, and after a few minutes, the stick seemed to have made up its mind, and fell to the ground with a "snap", pointing to the emblem of the sun god behind the tomb.
Is it there?
Looking at the wall in front of him, Jenn smiled, and then he reached out and grasped the hilt of his sword. And seeing Jenn's movements, everyone was stunned.
"Lord Jenn, what do you want .........?"
However, before Tillise could finish her sentence, she saw Jenn raise the sword in her hand and swing it forward. (To be continued......)
