Chapter 400: The Secret of the Tomb IV.

Under the flames, a qiē was revealed.

The thick dust, accompanied by layers of cobwebs, hung like a curtain on the railings of iron cages, as if they were spinning axles.

Behind the iron bars, a skeleton staggered to its feet.

The soul fire in the eye socket of the skull flickered incessantly, emitting a cold, disgusting blue-purple flame.

However, under the bars of iron, the skeletons could only linger behind, feeling the breath of life emanating from Dean's body, and letting out a silent roar.

Dean's gaze swept over one by one.

Eventually, his gaze rested on a few objects.

There are large basins like those used by butchers for bloodletting, and meat hooks hanging from the walls.

Although it is all covered by dust and cobwebs.

However, the specific shape was the first thing Dean could identify.

Dean, who had been trained in torture and torture within the Brotherhood, was no stranger to the role of these things, and was even quite familiar with them.

Dean didn't expect to see any of this here, though.

Click, click, click!

An even louder movement caught Dean's attention.

Behind this skeleton, on a torture instrument that resembled a bed, a skeleton was pierced and nailed to it, and steel nails the thickness of a thumb were firmly fixed on the vertebrae and shoulder blades.

That kind of solidity, even the skeleton's struggle, is difficult to break free.

Looking at the skeleton's struggling appearance, Dean can fully imagine the abuse that the other party suffered before his death. Treat.

"All of them are nothing!"

Took a deep breath. The nose is filled with the smell of dust and the stench of the ground. Dean raised his sword. Lunge towards these skeletons.

With those iron bars in the way, these skeletons had little resistance, and they couldn't form a defense.

They were burned by the flames and turned into piles of ashes.

Balls of white light the size of fingernails floated up from the ashes and melted into Dean's body.

【XP+2】

【XP+1】

……

The XP value between 1 and 2 is always displayed in Dean's system information bar.

Although the number is small, it is in the number of more than 100. It's still quite impressive.

And this is definitely a surprise for Dean.

However, Dean's solemn expression at this moment obviously did not mean a little joy.

It's definitely not a good sign that a large number of skeletons or corpses appear in places where there are potions that can improve talents.

Because, there is only one reason that can explain this phenomenon.

Live. Body. Real yàn!

As with the forbidden knowledge in general, it is forbidden.

"The sorrow of blood and souls?"

Dean whispered. Then, striding forward.

True. Dean knew that the talent potion was built up from countless corpses, but that didn't make Dean back and give up.

That feeling of being disheartened and dying, you only need to try once in your life.

Dean definitely didn't want to try it a second time.

The flame on the sword illuminates the way forward for Dean.

After walking through this hall and through a half-moon arch, the same hall appeared in front of Dean, no different from the previous hall.

Dust, cobwebs, skeletons.

It's just that the skeletons here are obviously bigger and stronger.

Moreover, the skeletons were no longer bound by ordinary iron railings, but by a kind of shackles, the iron chains that bound the arms, the joints of the legs, and the spine, which sank straight into the ground, and no matter how these skeletons struggled, they could only bring a burst of iron chains 'rattling', but at most, it had no effect.

Compared to the hundreds of skeletons in a hall before, this place was a lot less, but there were enough for fifty or sixty.

Without too much hesitation, the long sword in Dean's hand swung again, allowing these undead creatures to truly return to the earth once again.

【XP+10】

【XP+15】

……

Far exceeding the XP value of the previous normal skeletons, Dean guessed the identity of these skeletons in front of them.

"Knight?"

Dean thought silently.

It is only after the death of a knight-level person that the undead creatures that turn into them can reach such an XP value.

In the same way, it is for the study of knightly talents, how can it be that the main body of the real yàn material is missing?

Dean's eyes looked ahead.

There is also a half-moon arch there.

With a certain amount of guess, Dean walked through the arch—

Ten skeletons of incomparably tall, more than nine feet, were also bound by chains, their bones crystalline and tinged with a touch of metal.

And the soul fire in the eye socket of the skull is even more like jumping out of the eye socket.

The sword in Dean's hand flashed, and a skeleton turned straight into powder—

【XP+70】

There is no doubt that the skeletons in front of him are all big knights in front of them.

After becoming an undead creature after death, his strength dropped by about 30%, and his XP value was only 70% of that of ordinary knights.

This is in line with Dean's perception of XP.

Then, Dean sword by sword, these bound great knight undead creatures, all turned into ashes.

Glancing at the XP bar-

【XP:1560】

Even with a hint of preparation in his heart, Dean couldn't help but be surprised.

Undoubtedly, this XP gain was the easiest one in Dean's memory, and there was no effort at all, not even danger.

"This is a great knight-level undead creature, so, ...... there"

Dean looked at the same half-moon arch in the distance, and involuntarily quickened his pace.

Still, after passing through the half-moon arch. Dean was stunned-

The dust and cobwebs in front of me are still there. But there were no silver-level skeletons as Dean had guessed.

Central location throughout the hall. There is a statue.

The half-beast, half-human statue has the upper body of a human woman, but it has the lower body of a beast - the upper body of the human woman is plump, the face is delicate, and the arms are slightly raised, as if to encircle something, while the lower body of the beast is hideous and terrifying, with two claws in front of it. With layers of scales, the tips of the claws were as sharp as long swords, and the back were hooves, divided into three petals, the rough fur was everywhere, and a tail composed entirely of exoskeletons had made the whole statue more and more bizarre, hideous, and even terrifying.

"Morbius?!"

Dean looked at the statue that suddenly appeared in front of him in surprise.

With this kind of weird style statue, Dean will definitely not admit it, let alone it. The altar in front of the statue was even more sure to Dean.

Looked around the statue in detail. Dean's gaze swept over the statue and the statue itself, scanning the dust and cobwebs around it.

Obviously, there is no such thing as a special person cleaning here.

Otherwise, it is impossible for only one piece to be clean.

And when such a situation occurs, there is naturally only one possibility.

The statue of Morbius, its own efficacy.

Thinking of the statue of Morbius under Zelgaon's collar, Dean became more and more convinced of the speculation.

Standing in the dust, the ground was as clean as new in front of him, Dean didn't step over, and the anomaly in front of him made him instinctively not want to risk his life.

However, around this hall, the surroundings were carefully examined.

When every inch had been inspected, but nothing had been found, Dean walked back to the line between dusty and clean floors.

After a little thought, Dean placed the 'God Crystal' containing the 'God's Blood' in his hand.

Dean remembers the scene that happened under Zelgaon's territory before, and although he doesn't know how it works, Dean can still guess the role of the 'God Crystal' itself in protecting itself.

Trample!

Dean, who was holding the 'God Crystal' in his hand, took a slight step.

The front half of the right foot stepped into the ground as clean as new.

Airplanes!

Very clearly, Dean felt the 'God Crystal' in his palm throb slightly.

Dean moved half a step forward, and the 'God Crystal' began to beat again, continuously, and at the same time, a very comfortable aura began to leak out of the 'God Crystal' and spread to Dean's body.

Almost instantly, Dean felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring.

And in the system information bar, it flashed again-

[All Stats +0.1]

With the flicker of this message, the beating of the 'God Crystal' stopped, and the statue of Morbius in front of him seemed to have been exposed to the wind and sun for hundreds of years, and instantly became completely untouched.

It became, piles of gravel.

Dean glanced at the grit statue in front of him, and then looked down at the 'God Crystal' in his palm.

The dense qi inside did not decrease, on the contrary, under the imprint and dyeing of the golden 'blood of the gods', it became more and more vivid and bright.

Dean checked it, and the 'God's Crystal' hadn't changed in the slightest—at least to his naked eyes, it was impossible to discern; Therefore, Dean quickly put the 'God Crystal' up again.

Then, walk forward.

At the moment when the Morbius statue turned into gravel, Dean clearly saw that there was a secret door under the statue.

With his memory, Dean quickly pushed away the grit and found the secret door.

Holding the tip of his sword against the secret door, Dean slammed his wrist.

Suddenly, the secret door shattered.

A passage to continue downward is revealed.

However, this passage is not smooth and has a somewhat potholed feeling.

It doesn't seem to have been built in a hurry!

Dean cautiously examined his surroundings before jumping into it.
