Chapter 356: Dungeons and Beasts
Hill of the Dead.
With the relocation of the Twin Towers, the Hill of the Dead once again regained its former eerie and deserted appearance, with pale skeletons once again walking on this desolate land.
"I don't know what was buried here before, but it gave birth to so many skeleton soldiers."
Bai Qi looked down at the slowly moving bones below from the air and asked Beta, "Beta, are you sure we are really in the Hill of the Dead and not the residual aura of the Twin Towers?"
Huh?
(Human, are you questioning me?)
Beta looked at Bai Qi seriously.
(You can question the intelligence of Stinky Bones and Stinky Snakes, but you must never question my professionalism. There are no secrets in front of me.)
“I see.”
Bai Qi nodded, then kicked Beta off Delta.
Ahhhh!
(Human, you treat your dog like this!)
Beta's face was full of surprise, as if he had been abandoned, but Jerry couldn't stand it anymore. He took over the control of the body directly, transformed into a guardian, and landed steadily on the ground.
"There seems to be a force growing slowly under this land. It should be the power of shadow."
Jerry looked around, as if he sensed something, and couldn't help but look at Alpha. Alpha put his hand on the ground of the Hill of the Dead and felt it quietly.
Gah gah gah…
The appearance of Alpha immediately caused a commotion among the skeleton soldiers. The intimidation of the king-level undead creatures to them was far greater than that of other races. Especially after Alpha released his mental power, they knelt on the ground unconsciously and kowtowed to their king.
Ahhhh!
(Stinky Bones is so awesome! No, I can’t stand it!)
Beta immediately perked up upon seeing this, and for the first time took the initiative to take back control of his body from Jerry. The golden vertical pupils on his forehead shone brightly, and he began to search carefully along the path of that power.
Crunch.
(Boss, I found it.)
Ahhhh!
(Human, I have discovered something!)
Almost at the same time, Alpha and Beta made the same discovery. After looking at each other, the two pets rushed towards the depths of the Hill of the Dead at the same time.
"These two guys can compete with each other."
Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, and quickly followed with the other pets.
As Bai Qi and his companions continued to go deeper, the levels and types of the undead around them increased, but without exception, they all bowed down under Alpha's kingly pressure.
The level suppression between undead creatures is the most obvious.
Finally, Alpha and Husky stopped in front of a small hill at the same time. Almost at the same time, the two pets attacked at the same time and attacked the hill.
boom!
The hill exploded, and the huge energy directly tore apart the undead creatures that were still wandering around the hill. A decayed city wall gradually appeared in front of Bai Qi.
"Well done, don't do it again next time."
Looking at the city wall that remained unscathed by the attack of the two pets, Bai Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the secret towers are constructed by legendary creatures or legendary beastmasters, the materials are extraordinary and ordinary attacks cannot cause any damage to them.
But that is only under normal circumstances. After so many years, most of the structures of the Secret Realm Tower will become fragile. These two are both king-level. If one is unlucky, they might be demolished by them.
Ahhhh.
(I was very gentle. If I harm a human, you will be punished.)
Crunch.
(Boss, I will pay attention next time.)
The two pets explained one after another, and Bai Qi didn't waste any more words. He came to the city wall and looked around.
The city wall has decayed, but the basic structure is still maintained, and some traces of talisman arrays can be vaguely seen.
Bai Qi walked along the city wall but didn't gain much.
Obviously, this city wall is just the tip of the iceberg of the Secret Tower.
"Shuke, dig out the complete secret tower, and be careful not to damage the structure."
"clear."
Shuke nodded, and immediately released a whole set of special archaeological machinery, and quickly started digging along the city wall bit by bit.
Soon, a huge building sunk into the ground appeared in front of Bai Qi.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a large underground palace hidden under the Hill of the Dead."
Bai Qi smacked his lips. Although there is no absolute relationship between the size of the secret realm tower and the size of the secret realm, this is the first time Bai Qi has seen a secret realm tower as big as a football field.
"Lich's Tomb? I thought it no longer existed in this world."
The cow-skin snake came out from nowhere, looked at the huge underground palace in front of it, and said, "When the First Emperor built his own mausoleum like this, I told him that it was unlucky, and ended up sending myself away."
"Lich's Tomb? Do you know the Cowhide?"
Bai Qi looked at the cowhide snake with some surprise, and became more and more curious about the origin of the cowhide color.
"That's right. I have traveled through history, how could there be something I don't know?"
The cowhide snake raised its head, glanced at Bai Qi from the corner of its eye, and said, "If you make me happy, I might be willing to tell you."
"Gamma, prepare the stew pot."
"Ahem, I was just kidding."
The cowhide snake shuddered when he heard this, and instinctively jumped into Bai Qi's arms. He looked at Gama behind him warily, and after confirming that he had no intention of taking action, he spoke: "The Lich Tomb is the Secret Realm Tower in your current terms, but it was constructed by an emperor-level undead creature, the Lich."
"Lich has special properties. They can take out their life cores and store them separately. In order to protect their life cores, they will build large tombs like this to protect them."
"According to records, in this kind of tomb..."
Buffy talked incessantly, but Bai Qi felt more and more puzzled the more he listened, especially after seeing the information displayed on Shuke's screen, veins popped out on his forehead.
Records of Mountains and Seas: Legend of the Dead: Tomb of the Lich
"This guy is really unreliable."
Bai Qi grabbed the cowhide snake and threw it behind him, then followed Alpha to the entrance of the underground palace.
Just as the records said, the entrance to the underground palace obviously led to underground, but no matter how hard Alpha and Beta tried, there was no movement in the underground palace.
Crunch.
(Boss, it seems that the time has not come for this underground palace to be unveiled yet.)
Alpha swung his sword and touched the entrance door, but there was no movement. If he could not feel the powerful shadow force hidden inside, it would be no different from ordinary rocks.
"It's not time yet."
Bai Qi frowned. Indeed, no matter what secret tower it was, its birth would cause quite a stir.
And now, if Beta hadn't brought them here, they might not have discovered this place.
However, just because you can’t enter through the front door doesn’t mean you can’t go through the back door.
"Beta, see if there is a back door."
Bai Qi patted Beta's head, and Beta immediately understood. His vision opened up, and golden light shone on the black soil of the Hill of the Dead. The things hidden underneath appeared clearly in front of Bai Qi.
"This ability can definitely be used for a physical examination to find out the exact number."
Bai Qi smiled with satisfaction, and then began to study the runes on the door.
If it really is the Lich Tomb, then the runes on it might be helpful to Alpha.
However, the moment Bai Qi's hand touched the door, the door that had been silent suddenly lit up, and thick shadow forces instantly emerged on the rotten door , pulling Bai Qi in without waiting for his reaction.
"Oh my god, how can this door be opened just like that?"
Bai Qi couldn't help but curse at the sudden change, and collected all his pets before they were completely pulled into the gate.
…
Beastmaster Association.
President Qin, who was reviewing the latest batch of tasks, seemed to have sensed something and looked up in the direction of the Hill of the Dead.
"Is it the Hill of the Dead? The Twin Towers have been moved, so there shouldn't be anything there."
President Qin frowned slightly, thought about it, took out his phone and dialed Bai Qi's number.
"The number you dialed is out of service area, please call again later..."
"Can't get through? Where did this kid go again?"
President Qin put down the phone, turned on the intelligent computer that only the president had the authority to open, and directly connected to the network above Gusu City.
"Luowang, look for Bai Qi's trace."
"Detection authority... Level 4 authority, call allowed, searching for target..."
After a series of electronic sounds, a picture was projected in front of President Qin. It was the scene before Bai Qi disappeared in the underground palace.
"This is the Lich Tomb!"
After all, President Qin was experienced and recognized the origin of the Lich Tomb at a glance. After seeing Bai Qi enter the tomb, he could no longer sit still.
"I knew this brat would never settle down. He would always cause trouble for me."
President Qin ran out of the office cursing, and after giving a few instructions to his secretary, he activated the teleportation array and disappeared on the spot. After learning the details, the secretary immediately got busy.
When a large secret realm of the undead comes into the world, it is natural to find someone to control it immediately.
…
Lich Tomb.
Bai Qi glanced at the dark and eerie passage in front of him, which seemed to have no end, and shrank his neck unconsciously.
Not being afraid of undead creatures is one thing, but Bai Qi still felt a little scared when he thought about himself being in a lich's tomb.
"Alpha, Jerry, both of you remember to protect me."
Bai Qi leaned over to Alpha and Jerry and asked, "Shuke, have the investigation results of the scout bees come back?"
Shuke shook his head and said, "The shadow power here is too strong. The scout bee has lost connection and cannot get the map here."
Bai Qi understood what he said, and before they could move, he heard bursts of crunching sounds coming from deep in the corridor.
The big tomb has been sealed for a long time, and Bai Qi, a stranger, is particularly eye-catching here, almost like a candle in the dark, attracting these undead spirits to come.
"It seems that we have no choice but to force our way in."
Bai Qi smacked his lips and released the seven beasts that the Cordyceps had just parasitized without hesitation. Then he patted the Cordyceps and said, "It's your turn to show off, Epsilon."
"Dungeons and Beasts Season 1 has officially begun!"
