After the rebellion broke out, Allen took Arcadia and fled the camp overnight, hiding in the dense forest for a night.
Until the mercenaries sent by Hessian to search for them retreated.
At dawn, the mercenaries left the camp and forced Dr. Morgan to lead the way to find the tomb of the ancient Naga.
Five days later.
Alan and Arcadia followed the mercenaries into a large canyon submerged in the jungle.
The Naga Ancestral Tomb was carved into the belly of the mountain at the deepest part of the canyon, spiraling downward.
The cross-section of the tomb passage looks like a coiled giant snake.
Pale skeletons can be seen everywhere along the way.
There are humans, birds and animals, all of which are the remains of sacrifices.
The evil Naga spirits buried people with the dead as a way to show off the tomb owner's wealth and power.
Arcadia was quite dissatisfied with this.
In her time, human sacrifice was generally considered an inhumane act and was almost extinct in the civilized world.
Allen was not surprised.
In today's world of sorcerers, human sacrifice is a widespread phenomenon.
It was common for a sorcerer from a large family to bury alive a group of slaves of lowly descent when he died.
He is the master when he is alive, and he is still the master after he dies.
If you are born as a slave, you will have to go to the underworld to be a slave after you die.
——This is what most warlocks think.
Allen and Arcadia met in the meditation world.
In fact, the era in which Allen lived was more than a thousand years later than Arcadia.
With the development of the times, the civilization and moral level of the warlock world have not only failed to improve, but have regressed significantly!
The aristocratic caste system that prioritizes bloodline is so barbaric and cruel.
…
Continuing along the serpentine tomb passage, we could faintly hear the sound of fighting ahead.
Allen and Arcadia detected danger signals at the same time.
What Allen detected was a strong toxin reaction.
What Arcadia detected was the breath of death.
Her 0-ring magic "Detect Undead" is similar to Alan's "Detect Virus". Once activated, it can sense negative energy fluctuations within 30 meters around.
Negative energy is pure magic of death.
Areas rich in negative energy are usually haunted by the undead.
Alan and Arcadia looked at each other, both with wariness in their eyes.
Rich negative energy and level 3 snake venom are concentrated on one target at the same time.
Now this is interesting…
With nervousness and curiosity, the two men walked lightly and searched forward.
In the dim tomb, two mercenaries were fighting hard.
The mercenaries' opponents are their comrades in arms in life, who have now turned into zombies.
Four zombies besieged two injured mercenaries.
When Alan and Arcadia arrived, the battle was over.
Two mercenaries were lying in a pool of blood.
One of them had been eaten by zombies until his bones were exposed.
“How disgusting!”
Arcadia gritted her teeth and swung her sword, sending out a silver beam of light.
A flash of sword energy!
A zombie was cut in half on the spot.
The upper body was still crawling, dragging its intestines.
"The wounded soldier over there is still alive. Treat him."
Allen gave Arcadia a warning and jumped into the tomb.
In leopard form, Allen's running speed almost doubled.
The slow-witted zombies had no time to react before being knocked down by punches and kicks infused with "bone-shattering" power.
"Aman!"
Arcadia chanted a spell symbolizing "protection".
He raised his hand and pointed, and the wounded soldier sitting against the wall was wrapped in a golden light shield.
Under the protection of the first-level "Sanctuary Magic", as long as he doesn't take the initiative to attack, he will usually not be attacked by monsters.
The undead creatures, in particular, are particularly afraid of the sacred aura emanating from the "Sanctuary Technique" and try to avoid it as much as possible.
After quickly taking care of the four zombies, Alan came to the dying soldier.
He asked what happened in the mausoleum and why his companions turned into zombies.
The wounded soldier spoke a few words in a halting manner and then died.
Arcadia has blessed him with the "healing spell".
Unfortunately, his internal organs were severely damaged and he could not be saved.
"The curse of the Naga Mistress..." Alan sighed, "It finally came true."
Before they died, the wounded soldiers revealed that they followed Captain Hesse and Dr. Morgan into this underground mausoleum.
The doctor had repeatedly warned Hesse not to break the magic seal on the tomb gate.
However, the mercenary captain, blinded by greed, ignored the warning and broke into the house anyway.
Not long after, the mercenary team was attacked by undead creatures.
After the death of the spirit Naga, it transforms into a skeleton Naga, which is even more terrifying than when it was alive!
The most powerful of all undead monsters is the one transformed from the Naga Mistress.
This crazy witch turned herself and her confidants into undead, and in this way realized her ambition of "immortality".
After a skirmish, the mercenary team was defeated and scattered.
The wounded soldier and his teammates planned to escape from the Naga Ancestral Tomb along the original route.
However, the teammates who had died in the previous battle were resurrected by the Naga Mistress and turned into zombies, chasing them.
The two men fought and ran, and eventually they were seriously injured and fell here.
"It seems that the trouble is bigger than we imagined." Arcadia looked grim. "Apart from the Black Sen faction, I'm afraid the Skeleton Naga won't be polite to us either."
Her concerns soon became a reality.
Swish...
Swish...
Across the tomb, there was a sharp scraping sound.
A snake body with bony bones crawled through the tomb passage and blocked the exit of the tomb.
Skeleton Naga, with long, withered hair.
He slowly raised his head, revealing a skull face!
Deep in the eye sockets, two pale soul fires flickered.
Staring at outsiders fiercely.
“Evil spirit! May you rest in peace!”
Arcadia prayed in a trembling voice, as if to give herself courage.
His hands were not vague, he drew his sword and swung it out with a cold light!
clang!
The sword energy was like a silver moon, breaking through the air and slashing at the skeleton Naga, only cutting off a piece of bone.
Arcadia frowned, realizing that the sword energy was not very effective against such a skeleton.
He quickly put away his sword and stepped back, chanting a spell at the same time.
"Rúnya!"
A pillar of golden fire descended from the sky.
It hit the Skeleton Naga's head, interrupting her flying movement.
"Holy Fire" has both fire and light attributes, the latter of which can cause double damage to the undead.
Unfortunately, this is just a 0-level magic.
The rank is too low. Even if the power is doubled, it is still far from enough to kill the Skeleton Naga instantly.
At the same time, the Skeleton Naga was shaking its skull, using strange hissing air currents instead of chanting spells.
His eyes widened, and a green light burst out from his eye sockets.
Arcadia's body trembled and became rigid!
A strong feeling of numbness invaded my whole body, and I couldn't even move a finger!
Hound pace!
Alan's figure flashed and stood in front of Arcadia.
Bang!
The Skeleton Naga was kicked back by him, and rolled into the tomb passage, with broken bones scattered all over the ground.
With Allen's physical attributes, he gave a kick that was filled with "bone-breaking force" and kicked hard...
A one-meter thick concrete pillar would be broken on the spot!
The Skeleton Naga's skeletal body is very effective in defending against sharp weapons such as swords.
Punching and kicking are blunt attacks, which can easily break her defense.
Alan did not chase after the skeleton Naga that fell back into the tomb passage, because he could also hear the rustling sound of bones rubbing against the stone wall behind him!
Another skeleton Naga crawled in from the entrance of the tomb, staring at Alan, with ice-blue rays emitting from its eye sockets.
With his "iron bones" protecting his body, Alan endured the "freeze ray" without changing his expression.
However, in a moment of obstruction, the Skeleton Naga had already entangled Arcadia .
The skeleton grinned, poison leaking out of its gums, and bit the girl's snow-white and tender neck fiercely!
Alan decisively bent over and lay on the ground, transforming into a black panther.
With a whoosh, he pounced forward!
The most obvious difference between the three forms of Leopard Man is speed.
In human form, no speed bonus.
In leopard form, the speed is twice that of human.
The black panther form is the most exaggerated, with the speed almost tripled!
The speed of a leopard!
Hound pace!
The combination of the two made it so fast that even Alan himself could hardly control it!
Like a flash of black lightning, it crashed straight into the Skeleton Naga.
Bang!
The Skeleton Naga was knocked off balance and her broken bones flew everywhere!
When he came to his senses, he found that the girl in his arms had left, and was replaced by a black panther.
The Skeleton Naga's brain had long dried up and its intelligence had deteriorated. It was too lazy to think and bit the Black Panther's neck hard.
With a snap, before the poison could be injected...
The gums in my mouth were shattered into bone fragments.
The 4th level body refining secret method "Iron Bones" is so domineering!
At the same time, Arcadia finally got rid of the "immobilization spell".
Without even bothering to draw his sword, he just slapped the Skeleton Naga's spine with his bare hands!
A soft glow appeared on his fingers, which was actually the first level of "Healing Spell"!
"Healing" calls upon positive energy, that is, the magic of life, which is completely opposite to the negative energy that creates the undead!
This spell, which is used to heal the living, can also be used to kill the dead.
The Skeleton Naga's thick spine began to break inch by inch under the touch of the girl's slender hands filled with positive energy.
With a snap, it broke in half.
Alan stood up and transformed back into his leopard form.
Aim at the Skeleton Naga's head and step on it hard!
puff!
The skull shattered with a loud noise.
Even if a Skeleton Naga is destroyed, the crisis is not over yet.
The tomb passage was filled with a rustling sound that made your scalp tingle.
The sound of fighting in the tomb is attracting more Skeleton Nagas.
Being trapped in a small tomb by so many skeleton Nagas is no joke!
Alan picked up Arcadia and rushed into the tomb ahead.
The Skeleton Naga who was kicked by him before was standing on the opposite side, shaking his head and tail, casting a spell.
Alan ran at full speed.
“Get lost!”
Before she could finish casting the spell, he kicked her.
Bang!
Scored twice.
The Skeleton Naga was kicked away again.
This time his head was kicked to pieces and he couldn't get up at all.
Arcadia was held in Allen's arms, and she was not idle either. She quickly made casting gestures and chanted spells.
It created a dark and cold magical barrier that enveloped the two of them.
The skeleton Nagas around watched Alan speeding past them without even trying to catch up.
It was as if he and Arcadia never existed.
Alan ran at full speed and soon left the group of skeleton Nagas behind.
When he arrived at a secluded tomb and confirmed that there were no undead ghosts around, he breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the girl in his arms.
"What kind of magic did you use just now?" Allen asked Arcadia, "It can make the undead ignore us."
"In fact, this is called 'Ignorance of the Undead'."
Arcadia explained in a low voice.
"This first-level magic can increase the concentration of negative energy around us and block the breath of life."
"Undead creatures rely on detecting life auras to find their enemies, so they will be deceived by this spell and think we are the same kind of undead."
"Of course, this kind of fraud doesn't always work."
"If we take the initiative to attack the undead, or if the opponent's mental strength is higher than mine, we will still be exposed."
Alan nodded and asked her: "Such a useful spell, why didn't you use it earlier to save trouble?"
"Uh..." Arcadia scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "I was scared before, and just remembered that there is this trick."
Bang!
Alan flicked Miss Angel's head on the head.
"Can't you put more useful things in your little head?"
Arcadia rubbed her forehead, pouted , and looked aggrieved.
"In fact... dear, I usually think about you all the time!"
The corner of Alan's mouth twitched.
"…Just pretend I didn't say anything."
…
In the tomb chamber, a skeleton of a Naga was lying coiled up.
Around her, there were three zombies standing there, all dressed as mercenaries, with blood still on their bodies.
As soon as Allen and Arcadia walked in, they heard the Skeleton Naga hissing and roaring. Thinking they were discovered, they quickly prepared for battle.
Fortunately, the "Ignore the Undead" spell is still in effect.
The Skeleton Naga glanced at the two of them, her eyes expressionless, as if they were just a piece of air.
He indifferently withdrew his gaze, turned around and crawled into the tomb passage.
Three mercenary zombies were holding swords and walking slowly.
Following the Skeleton Naga, they walked into the tomb passage one after another.
Alan winked at Arcadia.
The two followed the zombies through one empty stone tomb after another.
Bloodstains and discarded swords were often seen along the way, but no corpses were seen.
It can be imagined that the corpses have been transformed into zombies by the Naga Mistress's necromancy.
At the end of the tomb passage, there is an incredibly large dome.
From the floor to the vaulted ceiling, the height is over 20 meters, like a cathedral built underground.
This is the sacrificial hall of the Naga ancestral tomb, a place specially used for human sacrifices.
The altar in the center of the hall was made of gold!
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a mountain of gold!
A drainage ditch was dug around the golden altar.
In ancient times, the Naga killed people as sacrifices on the altar, and this circle of drainage ditches was used specifically to drain the blood.
Dr. Morgan sat unconscious in the dry ditch with his back against the altar, his body covered in blood and his glasses broken.
Across from the golden altar, there was the sound of fierce fighting.
The altar blocked their view and it was hard to tell who was fighting whom.
"Honey! You're fast, try to lure the Skeleton Naga away!" Arcadia whispered in Allen's ear, "I'll turn into an angel and fly directly over the zombies to rescue the doctor!"
"My dad seems to have been poisoned by a snake..." Alan could detect the unique toxic smell of Naga from the doctor.
"Don't worry, I have a spell to detoxify!"
Alan nodded and leaned forward, transforming into a black panther.
Under the cover of the shadows by the wall, he approached the Skeleton Naga and wanted to backstab her first.
Before he moved, the Skeleton Naga moved first.
It swung its snake body, hurriedly bypassed the altar, and crawled straight to where the fighting sound came from.
It seemed that he was in a hurry to support his companions.
The three zombies also moved forward following the hostess.
Since they had withdrawn on their own initiative, there was no need for Alan to alert them.
Follow this undead squad and see what happens next.
Meanwhile, things were going well in Arcadia.
He transformed into an angel, picked up the unconscious Dr. Morgan, flew to the towering altar, and cast a spell to detoxify the doctor.
The doctor has not yet woken up, but the black energy on his face is dissipating and his life is safe.
Opposite the altar, corpses were scattered all over the ground and the air was filled with blood.
The two opposing teams are the Hessian Mercenaries and the Naga Tribe.
Two skeleton Nagas led a large group of zombies to besiege Captain Heisen and his men.
The mercenaries fell in a pool of blood one after another, and finally only Hessen was left, and he was surrounded.
The edge of the giant sword in his hand was cracked, like saw teeth.
Ding!
Heisen dropped the broken giant sword with a gloomy face.
"I can't help it. You forced me to use this trick!"
Before he could finish his words, his body began to swell.
The chain mail was blown apart directly, and the detached steel rings flew all over the sky!
In the blink of an eye, Heisen transformed from a human into a ferocious beast.
From head to tail it is seven meters long and three meters high!
The whole body is covered with a thick layer of steel-blue scales.
Along the spine, there are raised fin-like bony plates.
The huge triangular head is covered with scales, revealing a wide mouth and a pair of narrow eyes.
Fierce eyes filled with bloodshot!
This monster looks like a jungle monitor with a shark's head!
This is Heisen’s third-level atavistic form—Shark Lizard Beast!
The ancestral Heisen suddenly jumped up and smashed towards the Skeleton Naga.
The snake demon raised its head and hissed, trying to use its fangs to fight against the giant beast that fell from the sky.
With a bang, the giant beast fell!
The four sturdy lower limbs trampled the Skeleton Naga hard, crushing it to pieces in an instant!
The zombies around were also knocked over by the shock waves from the ground.
The slow-witted zombie had no time to get up before the shark-lizard beast stepped on him and crushed him into a meat patty.
Hiss——
The skeleton Naga in front of Alan hurriedly cast a spell to support.
A broken tooth in the mouth gathers magic power and sprays out!
It transformed into a pale bone spear and shot towards the atavistic Heisen.
clang!
The sharp bone spear hit the shark lizard's body protected by thick scales and broke immediately.
Alan saw this and was secretly shocked!
This monster has such thick armor!
The atavistic Heisen didn't bother to pay attention to these harmless attacks and rushed directly towards another Skeleton Naga that was casting the "Immobilization Spell".
The green light radiating from the other person's eyes was useless when it hit him!
This second-level magic that once paralyzed Arcadia is called "Human Isolation".
As the name implies, it only works on humanoid creatures.
Heisen, who has reverted to his original form, has turned into a demon beast.
How could he be attacked if he was no longer in human form?
The Skeleton Naga, who failed to cast the spell, could only watch as the heavily armored beast rushed towards them.
Eyes full of despair.
The next second, she was smashed head-on by the shark lizard beast!
There was only one skeleton Naga left in the hall.
Even the undead with dried brains still have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
The Skeleton Naga knew very well that she was no match for the atavistic Heisen, so she turned around and tried to escape.
Unfortunately, the direction in which the snake demon escaped was exactly where Alan was hiding!
