Volume 19 Chapter 228 The Cursed Man

Seeing the large black bug in front of me, I felt that my hair was about to stand up. Although I am a man and although I think I am quite brave, I still can't help but have the urge to run away in the face of so many disgusting bugs entangled together.

"Holy Light Purification." I was thinking about climbing up first and then thinking about throwing magic down or wasting a little bit. I didn't expect that the magic was thrown down directly. I drank it directly and threw it down. Accompanied by a dazzling white light, a scream came to my mind. However, after the holy light passed, I felt very regretful. I had known that I should have used the sun light directly, so I should not consider solving the problem of magic. Xiaochun's holy light purification is indeed very powerful for the undead, but the insects below obviously do not belong to the undead system, so the effect of the holy light on them is only roasting. The high temperature brought by the strong light did kill these weak insects, but the effect was only to kill. The pile of insects should basically be like what they should be like except for turning a little black.

I'm afraid that these bugs are disgusting, not how powerful they are, so they are scary, both dead and alive. If you want to make them not scary, the only way is to cut them into pieces or burn them to ashes. In short, it's okay if you can't tell the original shape. Xiao Chun's magic thrown down has no effect at all. The bugs should be like what they should be. If you throw them away, it means you didn't throw them away.

"Oh, it seems that this magic value is still not enough to save it!" I said, and then changed my account again to activate the Scarlet Sun Halo. After a flame flashed by, the room was finally clean. Scarlet Sun Halo is a large-scale advanced magic and has a very powerful force. Using it to clean up insects is a bit like using anti-aircraft cannons to kill mosquitoes.

I didn't change the form when I cleared the nearby insect corpses, and directly retained the Silver Moon form. I can see that 80% of the tombs are all of these insects. Compared to Zi Ri, Silver Moon's mage skills are more effective in dealing with these insects with low levels and numerous insects.

After calling Xiaochun and the others above, we discussed it and decided to continue digging down. Although this layer is not like the eight passages on the top, it is a corridor, which means that both sides are connected. Now we don’t know which direction to go in anyway. Instead of trying our luck, it’s better to go down directly. And this time I have figured it out. The tomb is so large that the depth should not be too shallow, so it’s meaningless to dig two or three layers down. If you want to dig it thoroughly, you don’t need to turn it without breaking through seven or eight layers.

After making a decision, I began to dig down one by one. The facts proved that the tomb had indeed become the nest of the bugs just now. I dug down ten layers in one breath. The channel structure of each layer was different, but without exception, there were such bugs on each layer, and they were much scary every time. However, although there were such bugs on each layer, I found that the bugs were gradually changing. It was not that the bugs themselves were changing, but that the bugs on each layer were different. As I kept digging down, the number of bugs in the surrounding channels began to decrease, but

The density did not decrease at all, because the bugs below were larger than each layer. At the beginning, the bugs I saw on the first floor were thinner than chopsticks. When I reached the twelfth floor, the insects around had become as thick as the bottom of the disposable paper cups, and occasionally there were large bugs with thick mouths in the insect swarm. Of course, even if these guys became ten times thicker, it didn't matter, because from the first floor to here, the level of the bugs only increased by more than 200. The top bug was a monster of level 36, and when it came here, it became level 247.

"Is this almost deep enough?" After cleaning up the nearby bugs, I looked up and asked Xiaochun and the others who were still on the top.

Xiaochun jumped down and said, "It's almost done, let's choose a direction, let's take a look?"

The location where we are standing is still a passage, but there is a T-shaped fork five or six meters ahead of the direction I am facing now, so there are actually three paths to choose from now.

Because I didn't know the specific direction at all, even if I took the time to think about it, it was just a waste of time. Therefore, I directly selected the passage from the T-shaped fork in front to the right.

There is no reason to choose this road, it is entirely because it is easy to use. However, it turns out that I finally got lucky today. Because I turned the fork and walked less than ten meters, I found the stairs leading to the next floor.

"Do you still continue to turn around this floor?" Sha Yezi asked as she looked at the stairs.

I thought about it and said, "Go down. Following the regular route should be easier to find clues."

The task written on our last task scroll is to find an item in this tomb and hand it over to someone, but the question is what item to look for and who to hand it to, and there is no such thing as this. According to my experience in doing tasks, the task scroll in this task actually only plays a guiding role. As long as you search according to the task clues, when you get to the place, there will naturally be a npc to convey the next task to you in the form of a plot. If my experience is correct, this tomb should be just the beginning of the guiding task. What we need to look for now is not something, but the intelligent npc, because only he can tell us what to do next.

After hearing what I said, Sha Yezi floated down the first time. Xiaochun and Bailang followed behind, and I walked at the end. With Sha Yezi exploring the way forward, I should be able to discover any dangers at the first time, so Xiaochun was not dangerous in the middle. As for me, I have to be responsible for cutting off the back. After all, there may not be any other creatures in this tomb except that kind of insect. If a monster runs out from behind and keeping Xiaochun of the wizard behind, wouldn’t it be for others to deliver vegetables?

The stairs in this mausoleum are different from those in the building. They are not round-trip, but lead straight to the next floor. Moreover, the stairs are also quite wide, and it seems that this may be the main passage.

After going down to the stairs, there is a relatively large hall, with two rows of giant sculptures standing on both sides of the hall. The content of the sculpture is a lizard that stands upright like a human, and it seems that these lizards are still wise because they are holding weapons in their hands and wearing armor. One of the lizards even holds a weapon that looks like a crossbow, which shows that the other party has at least a certain civilization. After all, crossbows are more complex than bows and arrows. You can see that some people in the primitive tribes use bows and arrows, but you won’t see any primitive tribes use crossbow arrows.

The lizard man sculptures on both sides of the hall are over eight meters tall, and it seems that they are enlarged sculptures. After all, most passages in the tomb are only four or five meters high. If the owner of the tomb is a kind of lizard man with an height of eight meters, the passages in the tomb should at least be able to ensure his own passage.

After passing through the two rows of sculptures, we went directly to the other side of the hall. This was the only exit of the hall except that stairs. However, the exit in front of us was not open, but a door sealed the passage.

There is a stone door that looks like a gate at the entrance of this long hexagonal passage. There are some strange symbols carved in the middle of the door, but I asked the demon pets to recognize each other but no one knew what they were writing. In desperation, I had to start breaking the homework again.

"How thick is this damn gate?" After more than ten minutes, I stood at a place more than ten meters deep from the entrance of the passage before and complained. I dug all the way from the gate to this place, but there was still a stone in front of me. This shows that the gate we just saw was at least fifteen meters thick. As for how much there is at the back, I don't know yet.

Although I was very depressed by this door, I had no choice but to continue digging. Fortunately, after the appointed dig for more than five meters, the gate was finally dug through. Looking back at the entrance of the passage, the damn gate was actually twenty-one meters thick. How could this be a tomb? Is the whole fortress?

After passing through the damn gate, we finally entered the room inside. The environment inside this door is not complicated, it is just a stone room of more than 100 square meters. The stone room is very empty, with only a three-story platform in the middle of the room, and a huge stone coffin is placed on it.

"It seems that we are lucky, so we just found the core." Xiao Chun and the others said after getting in.

"Don't be too happy too early, this may not be our mission goal. But it's definitely something we need to open first." I said and summoned the king directly, and then asked the king to help push the lid of the sarcophagus with me. However, we both worked hard but couldn't move the lid. "Damn, was this thing sealed with cement?"

Sha Yezi circled under the sarcophagus and said, "You seem to be getting the wrong direction."

"What does it mean?"

Sha Yezi pointed to the interface between the bottom of the sarcophagus and the ground and said, "Look, the lid of the sarcophagus is connected to the surrounding circle. You should not push it, but lift it up."

I looked along the point where Sha Yezi pointed, and sure enough, the top lid and side panel of the sarcophagus were connected together, which means that the sarcophagus was actually buckled on the ground like a box. If you want to see what is inside, you have to lift it up.

Although the king and I were quite strong, it was still a bit difficult to lift such a large sarcophagus, but I had a way. I directly summoned Xiaolongnu and added anti-gravity technique to the sarcophagus. Then the king and I lifted it up together, and the shell of the sarcophagus was immediately lifted up. After we lifted the protective cover made of a whole stone above, we found that there was a sarcophagus made of black rays inside. However, unlike the sarcophagus outside that was almost treated as a table by me. The black sarcophagus was densely written with golden lines and various symbols. What's even more amazing is that these golden runes were still flashing slowly with a frequency slightly slower than breathing.

"What is it written on it?"

"I don't know." Xiaochun replied simply. "I don't look like Ling. She worked as a document in the Dark Temple when she was not a goddess before, so she naturally knows more things than me."

I was about to summon Ling when I heard Xiaochun's words, but I didn't expect Ling to run out by myself first. "No culture means no culture, and I even make excuses." Ling first despised Xiaochun, then stroked the golden text on the black sarcophagus and said, "This is the magic text used in the dark sacrificial festival, it is a real ancient magic text. The magic text you usually see is a modified version of this magic text."

"Then what is the record?"

"Nothing is recorded on this."

"Ah? What does it mean?"

Ling thought about it for a while before explaining to me: "The magic text is a magical text, and when it is written, it will produce magical effects. However, because sometimes in teaching and teaching, the magicians in the past came up with a way, which is to recreate a new text in the form of magic text. This kind of text should actually be considered a variant of magic text, but because later magicians directly learned this changed magic text, after a long time, everyone forgot the formal magic text."

"No? If the regular magic text is forgotten, how did the magic take effect?"

"This is the advantage of the new magic text." Ling explained: "The new magic text has some special symbols similar to punctuation marks than the ancient magic text. These symbols are used to mark whether the magic statements take effect. When a new magic text is written, it has no magic effect, but when you add special symbols to these texts, the new magic text will immediately produce the magic effect like the ancient magic text. This kind of magic text that can be controlled can be controlled at will, so it is widely popular, and the ancient magic text that cannot be closed is gradually eliminated. However, some powerful existences with profound magic power in the gods are still using this ancient magic text because the magic power of this magic text is more powerful. Compared with the new magic text, this magic text has almost no disadvantages except inconvenience."

After listening to Ling's explanation, I suddenly looked at the coffin in surprise and asked, "What do you mean is this magical text written in fact a magic circle?"

"It could be a seal, or something else, it is actually working anyway."

"Do you know what kind of magic array it is?"

Ling looked at the text on the surface of the sarcophagus and said, "This is a bit troublesome and needs to be analyzed slowly. The grammatical structure of the ancient magic text is somewhat different from that of the new magic text. I have to translate it to figure out what is written in detail."

"Then you can translate quickly."

Ling nodded and waved to summon Emmenis and Victoria. I was wondering what she was going to do, but Ling pointed to the words on the sarcophagus and asked them both: "Do you know?"

Victoria was a little surprised and leaned on the sarcophagus while looking at it, saying, "Ancient Demonic Literature? Are there anyone using this thing now?"

Emmenis also said, "That's right! This thing has been used for at least thousands of years. Where did you find such an ancient thing? Oh, this is still a coffin! It seems that the age is quite long, otherwise it is used to use ancient magic texts."

"Okay, okay. We need to know what is written on it now, and help us translate it quickly."

Emmenis nodded and said, "Then I'll be responsible for this." As she said that, she had already squatted down and started to look at the magic text on the left side of the sarcophagus, while Victoria immediately ran to the right to see the text on the other side. Ling thought about it and called Ye Yue, Princess and Crystal, and found that Crystal also recognized the text, so someone translated the text on both sides of the coffin. As for Ling herself, she climbed on top and began to translate the text on the cover.

Looking at a group of demon pets translating the text, I walked to Xiaochun and patted her on the shoulder and said, "It seems you have to study hard!"

Xiao Chun snorted and said, "Our Light Magic is a new faction, and those old antiques don't understand them."

When I was making Xiaochun happy, Crystal first got the text on the front of the coffin. However, she did not rush to find the text on the other end of the coffin, but turned her head and said to me: "This is a soul stabilization array, and it has an energy gathering setting on it, which should be constantly instilling energy into the coffin."

"What?" I asked in surprise: "Will the guys here become 100% dead?"

Crystal nodded and said, "It should be like this, but we have to wait until we have finished translating everything."

"Then you can translate quickly." Crystal nodded and ran to the other end of the coffin to start translating, but after just a while, Emmenis said, "I have finished translating here."

"What did you write?" Ling seemed to have completed his translation task and just turned around and asked her.

Emmenis pointed to the text and said, "This is about imprisonment and eternal torture, but the grammar is strange. I don't quite understand the specific meaning. It probably formed a punitive magic array similar to vicious curses. If the souls here have not dissipated, they should have endured the pain and torture of eternity."

After listening, Ling immediately turned to look at Victoria on the other side and asked, "What are you writing there?"

"Wait a minute, there are still a few words left." Victoria squatted on the last few words and studied them for a while before speaking: "Okay. It says that the fire of hell burns forever. Translated it probably means that the souls here will always endure hell-like torture."

"Isn't that the same as there?" I asked.

Ling stood on the coffin and said, "It's different. The two sides are mentally tortured magic circles, which add up to double damage, and there is also a compensatory effect after superimposing them. The actual power may be more vicious than the two simple curses. It seems that the guy in the coffin must have done something that is angry and resentful, otherwise he wouldn't have been cursed like this viciously."

After listening to it, I immediately asked, "Have you translated what you wrote on it?"

Ling nodded and said, "This is a magic circle that keeps life alive. If I guess wrongly, the person in this coffin should not be dead."

"What?"

"The other party set up so many cursive arrays to make this guy suffer eternal pain and torture. If he dies, the torture will be reduced a lot. Therefore, the other party set up this magic array to replenish vitality to ensure that the guy inside can endure all the pain alive. And if no one opens the coffin, he may be tortured like this forever. If I guess correctly, the one on the other end of the foot should be a magic gathering array to supplement the energy required by the life array above."

Crystal was just completing the translation at this time, and she stood up and said, "You guessed it, this is a magic circle."

After listening to their translation, I couldn't help looking at the coffin and asked Ling: "Do you think I'm opening or not opening this coffin?"

Ling thought for a while and said, "It must be opened. After all, our task is in it. But I think some preparations must be done."

"Preparation?"

Victoria explained: "Although mental torture is painful, it can actually increase a person's magical strength. Of course, this self-torture method usually drives people crazy first, so magicians can only choose to practice slowly without strengthening themselves through this method."

"What do you mean is that the guys here have been practicing magic during the years of suffering?"

Victoria nodded and said, "Not only have been practicing, but his cultivation speed is several times that of a normal person. Moreover, since this magic array will not be interrupted, he is equivalent to no day and night. During the years when he was sealed into the coffin, he has been practicing continuously for twenty-four hours every day. Even if he was a magic apprentice, he would probably be stronger than the magic power of the intermediate gods! Besides, people who can be sealed with such things, I think their strength will not be much lower when they entered. So now he is at least equivalent to the strength of a high-level gods."

"It's okay, we have killed a lot of the gods, and the high-level gods are not afraid of it."

Although I said this, I was not slow at all in my action. First, I brought the two mobile angels of the gods from the Phoenix Dragon Space and placed them in the room for later use, and then took out a bunch of medicine to replenish the magic power first. If a super difficult guy really came out, I could start the Divine Realm fusion in full state. With two mobile angels working together, I believe that I can kill him in minutes.

Seeing that I was ready, Ling didn't say anything more. He directly asked Shuijing to help lift the black sarcophagus lid of the black rayon stone. Almost as soon as the coffin lid was lifted off, we immediately saw a ball of black shadow popping out of the coffin. The black shadow rushed directly to the roof, then used force to bounce on the roof, and the next second he rushed towards Xiao Chun behind me.
Chapter completed!
