He did not fully understand or remember the details, but for now the nightlight stones sufficed, and there was no need to experiment.
As they traversed the corridor, the space ahead suddenly widened significantly.
Upon stepping out, Fong Hao halted abruptly.
Before him lay a chamber approximately 5 or 6 m wide and over 10 m high.
The stone walls on either side have been carved into stone beds, stacked like bunk beds extending to the ceiling.
Each stone bed cradled a body wrapped in burial cloth, some of which had decayed, leaving only tattered remnants and dark stains of the corpses.
If he had skin, Fonhow would surely feel a shiver running down his spine.
"My lord, it appears we have indeed stumbled upon an ancient tomb.
" "Yes, a mass grave," Fonhau murmured softly.
He turned to the nearby skeletal warrior and commanded, "Go and explore within.
" The skeletal warrior, obeying the directive, advanced forward.
As it stepped deeper inside, a series of unsettling clacking sounds began to emanate from the stone beds on either side.
Looking up, the corpses on the stone beds began to rise one after another, tearing away the strips of cloth that bound them and seizing the weapons nearby.
Although I had anticipated their resurrection, the sight of them actually sitting up prompted me to pat my thigh in preparation for battle.
Fongghao issued a direct combat command and the scouting skeletons returned, signaling the team to prepare for engagement.
Corpse demon fourth tier bang.
One after another, the corpse demons leapt from the stone beds with those dwelling on the upper levels suffering broken leg bones upon landing, tumbling in disarray.
Nevertheless, they crawled towards Fong how to launch their assault.
Kill, order Fong How.
And in an instant, the two factions clashed fiercely.
The corpse demons, though formidable at the fourth tier, lacked any defensive measures.
Their bodies adorned with strips of cloth inscribed with various symbols.
Meanwhile, Fongo's skeletal warriors, albeit only at the second tier, were equipped with exceptional gear, nightly swords, kite shields, and comprehensive armor, significantly enhancing the team strength.
During a fray, the Blood Hunter showcased extraordinary combat prowess, radiating a blood red glow while wielding a nightly sword, effortlessly slaying numerous corpse demons.
The slain corpses dissolved into mere puddles of mud, leaving no remains behind.
Bang! As the last corpse demon fell, silence enveloped the space once more.
Yet, the danger had not subsided.
At the center of the team s front, a stone bed lay with a desiccated corpse.
Its muscles resembling those dried by the wind.
Clad in a suit of golden metal armor.
Beside the stone bed rested a massive two-handed sword.
The corpse lay undisturbed amidst the recent chaos of battle.
Could it truly be dead? Flanking stone beds were indeed filled with numerous lifeless bodies that had not awakened.
Though the one before me appeared fearsome, it might very well be in an eternal slumber.
Just as Fong Ho pondered this, a series of cracks echoed as the desiccated corpse slowly sat up.
A ghostly blue flame ignited in its hollow eyes.
Damn deceivers, you all deserve to die.
Rasp the corpse in a harsh voice.
It then turned its fiery gaze towards the distant undead ranks.
You two shall perish it cursed.
Grasping the colossal sword from the stone bed.
Stone tomb leader 10th tier.
Good heavens of boss battle.
Fongghao observed the stone tomb leader dragging the enormous sword closer and proposed.
How about we sit down and have a chat? You appear quite cultured.
Perhaps we can resolve this peacefully.
Chapter 184.
The heroic strike commander Shir Jong advanced step by step, dragging his colossal soar behind him, inching closer in the dimly lit tomb passage.
The iron blade scraped against the ground, producing a piercing sound of friction.
Fongghao regarded him as a hero, fearing that even in death he might refrain from striking, thus attempting a dialogue.
We are all the undead.
Perhaps we can negotiate a truce of victory without conflict.
Clearly, the adversary harbored a different sentiment.
His stance indicated a readiness to fight to the death.
Since he was unwilling to recognize reason, he could not blame us for disregarding our factional ties.
It was time to eliminate him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The bowrings quivered as a volley of arrows soared forth from the rear ranks.
Faced with the barrage, Commander Shir Jong neither flinched nor dodged, allowing the arrows to rain upon him.
He momentarily halted, yet pressed on against the hail of projectiles.
How vodacious, Fonggho mused.
The archer supply was limited, and it seemed they failed to inflict any substantial damage upon Commander Shong.
The wounds struck by the arrows resembled those inflicted upon desecated jerky, devoid of any blood.
As Commander Shirong drew nearer, the melee troops commenced their assault.
Skeleton warriors brandished their black iron shields, encircling the commander.
Alternating shield bashes in an attempt to induce a days.
Suddenly, a dark crimson glow ignited upon commander Sher Jong<unk>s heavy sword.
He summoned his strength and executed a sweeping strike.
Crack! The sturdy shields shattered in an instant, and the nearby skeleton warriors were cleaved in half.
"What ferocity!" Fungho gasped inwardly.
"Blood hunter, eliminate him!" Yes, my lord.
With a powerful flap of his wings, Blood Hunter leaped onto the rooftop and dove down towards Commander Sherong.
The commander's blue eyes fixated on the descending Blood Hunter, unleashing a horse roar.
Liars, you curse bats.
He thrust his heavy sword upward, aiming for Blood Hunter.
Blood Hunter retracted his wings, twisting his body to evade the attack, and thrust his sword directly at Commander Sher Jong<unk>s head.
The commander, unable to retract his sword in time, lowered his head.
Clang, blood hunter's blades struck the Iron Helm, producing a resounding clash of metal.
Hatred filled Commander Sher Jong<unk>s eyes as he swung his heavy sword once more, the rush of wind accompanying his strike.
The stone beds on either side shattered under the shadow of his sword, debris scattering in all directions.
Blood Hunter moved with grace.
His bat wings providing remarkable agility, soaring like a marionette on strings, leaving behind deep bone revealing gashes upon Commander Shong.
Despite the significant disparity in their levels, with Blood Hunter being a blue hero boasting superior overall attributes, it was evident that Commander Shong possessed a solid foundation.
Even though he was not a hero himself, he had managed to engage Blood Hunter until this point.
Bang.
At that moment, a skeleton warrior's shield bash induced a day's effect.
Seizing the opportunity, all forces launched a fierce assault.
In the fleeting second before awakening, Blood Hunter swung his sword, decisively, severing Commander Sherong<unk>s head.
As the leader of the stone tomb fell, his entire body shattered instantaneously, scattering like grains of sand.
Alas, what a pity, Fong Hao mused himself.
He yearned for a meaningful conversation, yet it escalated to this point, leaving not even a corpse behind.
Search this area for anything of value, Funghow commanded.
Instantly, all the skeletons dispersed, and even the corpse demon lying on the stone bed that had not yet revived was brutally stripped of its shroud by the skeletons in hopes of uncovering any hidden treasures.
Soon, various spoils were amassed around him, in addition to an assortment of rusted weapons.
a few oil stained human coins and a single key.
There were also 142 traces of death and 75 shadow stones.
Collecting these shadow stones scattered across the stone bed proved to be quite an arduous task.
My lord, we have discovered a treasure chest, a skeleton reported, pointing to a silver chest found behind the stone bed where the leader of the stone tomb once lay.
Fongghao approached and chose to open it without hesitation.
Acquired heroic fatal strike skill scroll, white steel two-handed sword blueprint, medal of courage, 12 blood stones, 44 war coins.
The quality of this silver chest was quite impressive.
