Carefully avoiding many strange and rugged rocks, of course, with the illumination of the soul-guiding lamp, these rocks and the space where they are located seem to automatically avoid the sailboat where Shen Chen is.

Shen Chen saw a huge hollow appearing in front of him under the cliff facing the sea. This seemed to be the waterway leading to the big ship in his previous life.

Vanessa also said: "It was from this cliff that I left the Death Mine."

However, the dead soul passage in the water does not lead directly to this waterway. In a more complex underwater environment, keep going along the cliff. This is a large crack that goes deep into the bottom of the cliff, with many wooden piles on both sides.

The wooden piles seemed to have pictures of some primitive gods, wild boars, colorful tigers, and even an ancestral dragon... At the bottom of the wooden piles, through the sea water, a large number of bones could be seen buried underneath.

"This should be a primitive priestly place, using flesh and blood to please these primitive gods." Shen Chen thought, the details of the wooden piles on the outside seemed to be unclear due to the waves.

But as the ship gradually went deeper, under the light of the green soul-inducing lamp, Shen Chen could see more god masks carved from wood, as well as circles of statues made of bones.

The dead souls below the ship seemed to be restless. They wanted to avoid the sea water that could suppress them, and clung to both sides of the ship. However, the flames of the dead soul lamps also jumped, and the green light gradually unfolded and became... It became a green fire circle with a range of 10 yards, so that the dead souls never dared to move.

Soon, the cave came to the end. The place was different from what Shen Chen expected. The symbols, statues and patterns of the priests all disappeared here.

"Someone should have cleaned this place, and didn't want future people to know the secrets in this cave." Shen Chen saw that there seemed to be some scratch marks on the cave wall, and the stone path under their feet seemed to have been smoothed by later generations. of.

"Maybe it's Frog, but what is his purpose?"

"We'd better hurry up, burning my blood will make you feel bad!" Liu Wei complained.

In order for the soul-inducing lamp to keep burning, it must constantly pour life into it, which means that it will lose a certain amount of life after a while... Since Liu Wei has the talent for tenacity, this sacred mission is naturally carried out by He came to take charge.

"But where is the passage to the Death Mine?"

Even Vesemir's powerful perception was completely unable to find the secret passage in this cave. They seemed to have entered a dead end.

"Maybe I should try using this lamp to shine around the rock wall!"

Shen Chen glanced at the countdown at this time, and there were only the last two hours left. He knew that there was not much time left, and he needed to enter the Death Mine as soon as possible and leave before the corruption completely broke out.

For some reason, his eyelids kept warning him not to go in! But when Vanessa came here, her eyes became firmer. If Shen Chen was asked to give up just now, he would not be able to bear it.

"Look, these souls seem to have gone inside!"

Soon, everyone saw a large black hole two people high appearing in the corner of the cave, illuminated by the soul-attracting lamp. As soon as the wandering souls touched the large hole, they immediately disappeared here.

"It should be right here, go in and have a look!"

"Everyone, please stand tight. I always feel that if you leave this circle of fire, something bad will happen!"

"Nonsense, who doesn't know..."

The cave seemed to be two completely different worlds from the outside. Except for the green glimmer of the soul-inducing lamp they held, everything seemed extremely dark without a trace of light.

"Which direction are we going?"

Moreover, it seemed that after taking a few steps, the entrance they entered was hidden in the endless darkness. There was no direction here, and it seemed that time and space had lost their meaning.

"Following these wandering souls, this secret passage might be a road exclusively for the dead!"

Now that they have come this far, Shen Chen and others have no choice but to move forward, but he is a little worried in his heart. What should he do now?

After walking for a while, these wandering souls seemed to stop at a door-like place. They hesitated there, seeming to be frightened by the breath on the other side.

Everyone was overjoyed. This should be the exit into the Death Mine. They felt too depressing walking in this dark world.

The place where they came out was right at the top of the huge cave.

Shen Chen could easily see that the huge hull that had not yet been completed was of course the huge ship in Stormwind City that the Defias thieves were planning to use to attack.

As for Vanessa, the giant ship seemed completely out of her sight. She subconsciously began to search for her father's whereabouts. Fortunately, she saw it easily.

But she was completely unable to recognize or even believe that that thing was his father, the leader of Defias, Edwin VanCleef!

In the huge square where Defias once gathered, there was already a tomb made of white bones. Those bones seemed to have been made in a hurry, and the red flesh and blood stained on them could be clearly seen!

There seemed to be hundreds of Defias wearing robes around the tomb. Shen Chen knew in his heart that there was no way Defias could have so many mages. This was an organization of thieves, and no mages would give up on their great future. Join them!

These Defias also seemed to be infected by corruption. Because of this strange power, they had the ability to cast spells. They chanted, and some dark green juice gushes out from their hands and flowed into the bone grave.

Even if Shen Chen was not close, he could vaguely smell the stench of the juice after it splashed to the ground. This strong smell seemed to be more disturbing than the smell of dead fish and rotten shrimps in the stagnant sea water. People are nauseated.

He quickly realized that this was not just corruption, these Defias seemed to be using dead bodies as sacrifices to summon something!

There is a wooden throne on the pile of bones, which is incompatible with this environment. The figure on it is Van Cleef himself.

Except for the remaining half of Van Cleef's head, which is still in human form, other body parts have also turned into white bones, and the muscles in the white bones have all rotted. Some maggots flowed down along the juice and blood of the internal organs, but there are still The soles of the feet are sucked back to the heart.

It seems that Van Cleef himself does not want to admit the fact that he has turned into a skeleton and is almost corrupted. He is still struggling, deliberately maintaining human habits and form, and seems to want to resist the control of the unknown existence.

Above his head was the "artifact" crown that Frog called. The foul gray gas fell from the crown like a spear tip, constantly eroding Van Cleef's human side.

Shen Chen understood at a glance which world this crown came from, because it could enhance the power of the gems embedded in it, and his master was once controlled by the Dread Demon King and betrayed his kingdom, wife, relatives and attributes. Down......

...

"Master, what's wrong with becoming an undead? As long as you become an undead, birth, old age, sickness and death will go away from you. There will be no pain, sorrow, fear or trouble. We will dominate this world!"

"As long as I am conscious, I will not succumb to corruption! I must..." Vanessa's smile flashed in Van Cleef's eyes. This is the few memories he has left, and it is also his support. His strength.

"Forget it, as long as one hour passes, you will abandon those unnecessary emotions."

"At that time, I will definitely kill you completely!"

The figure paused and suddenly smiled: "No problem, I am an undead, and I have long wanted to try what eternal death feels like... As long as you become the existence we need!"

"Uh! Ahh..." Van Cleef howled in pain. He used this method to resist the erosion of his memory by the crown, but it was not very effective.

"Let me tell you good news. Your former subordinates betrayed you~~ Oh, this is not important anymore, because soon those people will become part of your army. By the way, your daughter once went to find him Help, I wonder what will happen to her?"

"My daughter, Vanessa! I will not forgive those who hurt her!" Hearing Vanessa's name, Van Cleef went crazy, and his will to resist corruption relaxed a little, and his mind It was so mushy that it was impossible to tell whether the information was true or false.

"As long as you accept this power, you can avenge your daughter! You can even resurrect her!" The mysterious figure's voice was low and full of temptation, drilling straight into Van Cleef's heart.

"Yes...power, I need these!" Van Cleef said unconsciously, he was full of obsession with Vanessa.
