The moment they heard this "sorrow", all the ghoul army that had originally crowded the entire moon passage rushed forward. Many of them jumped up and stepped on the ghouls blocking the way in front of them, forcing their way through. past.
The entire corridor turned into a large-scale trampling scene, as if there was a torrent of positive energy behind them that could wipe out everything.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but look back at the way he came, but found nothing.
The place has become empty after the undead creatures "shadow left".
And when he looked at the way forward, the entrance to the passage, which was several meters high, was already crowded with ghouls vying for the first place.
When Zhao Xu saw this scene, he let go and jumped down from the wall. His boots immediately hit an inexplicable "puddle". But at this moment, he had no time to think too much, and his attention was entirely on the ghoul in front of him.
"Master, shall we follow?" Lux suggested.
"Yeah." This was exactly why Zhao Xu had just stepped off the wall. He immediately hurriedly hung behind the lagging ghoul, only less than ten meters away.
The ghouls that were lagging behind kept leaning on the ghouls in front, but they could no longer squeeze through.
After Zhao Xu walked for nearly ten minutes, he discovered that there was some light in the corridor ahead, which meant that the end of the cave was coming.
The following distance allowed him, who was initially limited by his vision, to estimate that the corridor was probably no less than a kilometer long.
In other words, the number of ghouls just now is probably in the tens of thousands.
Needless to say anything else, just that the ghoul army in this corridor was placed on the battlefield of "Falling Star Lake", whether the players can win or not is a matter of two decisions.
Zhao Xu followed him all the way here and finally smelled some fresh air, which made his nose feel better.
Slowly as the number of ghouls decreased, the light from the outside world began to penetrate the hole that was originally densely blocked.
At this time, Zhao Xu also reached the end of the corridor, and the road ahead was cut off.
He looked at it and saw an empty field of vision in front of him, and a hundred meters below was an endless underground city.
Countless ancient buildings from many eras stand among them. They are basically designed in the style of thousands of years ago. The appearance of many buildings has become dim, revealing the earthy material inside.
Looking at it suddenly like this, Zhao Xu could still feel the majestic momentum, as if it was a witness to history. The only thing missing was the aura of human habitation.
Zhao Xu's current location is on a cliff, and the corridor he is in is just one of the holes dug into the cliff.
The ghouls who ran out were rushing down, or rolling down, the nearly 70-80-degree slope of the cliff.
Zhao Xu poked his head out for a moment and noticed that the cliff had not only a cave entrance here, but also no less than a dozen similar cave entrances, all of which were constantly spewing out large numbers of undead creatures, running toward the town below. From zombies and skeletons to mummies, ghouls and more.
However, the world in front of them is still singing that song of mourning for the dead, and the sound seems to be coming from the gray and monotonous sky, directly penetrating into everyone's heart.
"This is the ancient 'Land of the Sleeper' Anta. When Naraku, the god of death, fell, it was cut away from the main material plane and turned into a floating demi-plane. I didn't expect that it would actually be with this 'scavenger beast' The pit's demiplanes are fused together." Lux said with emotion.
A place for sleepers
Zhao Xu's religious knowledge, historical knowledge, and local knowledge were instantly linked to retrieve a piece of content.
The Land of the Sleepers, a legendary country entirely filled with undead creatures. It was the testing ground for Naraku, the god of death, and it was a city that even the most courageous paladin who devoted himself to killing undead creatures did not dare to set foot in easily.
At this time, it was not difficult for Zhao Xu to understand why there were tens of thousands of ghouls crowded in the passage. It turned out that he had come to this town where the residents were all undead creatures.
But Zhao Xu was thinking about the reason.
Anta appeared in this demiplane of death, but the wizards of the association did not tell him.
It means that this happened only in the past few days, and it was naturally the work of the artificial death god. What about the plot point
In order to make it better able to master the god of death
After feeling the danger inside, Zhao Xu crouched lower. At this moment, he no longer cared about the stench that had not dissipated in the passage.
"Lux, it was you who helped the artificial Death God before, so that he could escape from the ritual of the Death God Naraku Priest. So since it has already escaped, why did it have to wait until I entered the underground temple before leaving, and then decisively entered this half? To obtain the godhead of the God of Death?" Zhao Xu asked.
"What preparations does it lack?"
"That's right, Master." Lux explained carefully, "In fact, it itself is waiting for the day of the Gods' War. At that time, it will no longer have time to act on the gods and Arthur's many plane forces to pay attention."
"Just because the owner entered the underground temple, it also attracted the attention of the Mage Association and the Goddess Temple. Naturally, it can no longer hide."
After Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. It turned out that he had been waiting for a hundred years just for the opportunity of this chaos, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by him.
"Master, if you can get the godhead, let alone a thousand years, even ten thousand years." Lux seemed to have seen too many cases of fighting for the godhead. "Even if the Association of Lawyers guesses that there is a godhead here, they will still be patient. For thousands of years Come and do the infiltration work slowly."
"Even this time the artificial Death God entered, they treated it calmly, just like the legendary mage on standby. Because time and patience will allow them to defeat all enemies. Even if the Artificial Death God does not deal with it well, they will only train a person for the Mage Association who can become a god. It’s just an opportunity.”
"So, merging this 'Land of the Sleeper' is the artificial death's way of dealing with it."
Suddenly, the "Song of the Dead" in the sky resounded more and more throughout the world, which affected Zhao Xu's thoughts and made him immersed in this sentimental atmosphere.
And throughout the Land of the Dead, countless undead creatures walking around blindly were also kneeling in one direction at this moment.
The fear originating from a higher level of nature caused these skeleton zombies, even those without conscious intelligence, to kneel to the ground without daring to move at all.
At this time, Zhao Xu was still thinking about what happened, but the corner of his eye immediately reminded him of the source of this strange situation.
At the edge of the pale sky, an amber coffin was flying slowly in the air. There were countless silver-colored chains on the coffin body, each connected to another flying creature.
A total of twenty-four huge flying creatures, each chained, wandering in the sky with amber coffins hanging, accepting the worship of countless undead creatures.
These flying creatures are like huge bats, with their wings spread over ten meters, and their whole bodies are shrouded in shadow.
And around the sarcophagus were more than ten groups of seemingly black energy, which could only be barely distinguished as black human shapes. And they were not holding the amber coffin, they seemed to be just on guard at the periphery, and their flying posture was also very slow and clumsy.
Only then did Zhao Xu notice that there was a mummy sitting on one of the bat-like flying creatures.
For a moment, Zhao Xu couldn't imagine how a low-level monster like a mummy could be related to these extraordinary undead creatures.
However, as soon as Zhao Xu took a glance, he immediately felt a coldness all over his body, and the fear deep in his heart spewed out, filling his whole body and mind.
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you are affected by the 'Despair' effect and fall into a 'paralysis' state due to fear, which lasts for 3 rounds (1D4 rounds)]
Zhao Xu was unable to move and fell into a stiff state.
The former dragon flew over his head, swooping and roaring at their team, causing them to be affected by the effects of the dragon's power.
That is also the state of "fear".
Who would have thought that Zhao Xu's mere glance from a few hundred meters away would directly cause him to be "paralyzed" and unable to move.
"Master, that is a demigod mummy. At this time, the opponent's saving throw difficulty is as high as level 48 of the 'Despair' effect. As long as you witness it, you need to make a saving throw to resist."
Lux's tone began to become serious at this time. She had never paid such attention to the "Challenge Demon" whose challenge level was close to the legendary.
"Ordinary mummies are formed when humans die."
"But demigod mummies mean that the person in front of them is a demigod." Lux said.
"Next to the amber coffin are the undead creatures 'Night Shadow'. They are powerful undead creatures composed of equal amounts of darkness and pure evil. The bat-shaped Night Shadow is chained and has a challenge level of 14. The 'Flying Winged Night Shadow'. The human-shaped night shadows on guard all around are 'Flying Night Shadows' with a challenge level of 16."
Only then did Zhao Xu notice that behind the amber coffin, there were other undead creatures walking out of the void, all following the coffin.
But Zhao Xu's eyes immediately stared at one of the large undead creatures, looking at the baby-like appearance with a confused expression.
"That's the abomination, the stillborn child of the gods - the Shrunken One." Lux noticed Zhao Xu's field of vision and also introduced it.
But she was even more cautious about this existence.
"The Shrinker will kill all life present. In fact, many undead kingdoms are controlled by the Shrinker. It is the owner of this 'Land of the Sleeper', but I didn't expect it to still exist."
"Master, you must be extremely careful. Whether it is the Abominable Shrinker or the Demigod Mummy, they are legendary creatures, and they may also contain divine power."
When Zhao Xu saw this scene, he also knew that this was the most dangerous moment he had encountered since entering the game. He restrained his trembling body and stepped back a few steps into the passage, as if the darkness behind him could protect him better.
"What's in the amber coffin they escorted?" Zhao Xu asked.
"Well, it's the god of death, our target this time." Lux said briskly and happily as if she had found prey.
