Darkness, endless darkness so intense that it seemed to be solidified together.
There is no trace of light, and the air is filled with the smell of decay. What can be heard in the ears is the sound of rustling from far to near, like rats gnawing things furtively, and as if there are countless venomous snakes.
The snake spitting out snakes is crawling across the slippery ground, and it will crawl to you at any time. It makes people feel creepy and makes people have all kinds of strange and scary associations!
When the bustling city is suddenly transported into a dark space where you can't see your fingers, anyone will instinctively feel fear, even the mentally retarded Zhao Xi.
It's just that he can control his emotions extremely well and prevent his instinct from affecting his judgment and actions.
He blessed himself with a skill.
Before arriving at the Underground Palace of Death, Zhao Xi was fully prepared. The torch for lighting had already been stored in the backpack behind him and could be taken out and lit at any time.
But in this completely unknown environment, using torches for lighting is not a very good choice, because Zhao Xi is alone, and using a torch means that he must free one hand to hold it, which affects his combat effectiveness.
Fortunately, he also has the sacred skill given by the Holy Knight Goethe - the Fire of Light!
As the skill was triggered, 5 points of holy power disappeared. Zhao Xi's body, the shield in his hand, and the blade simultaneously emitted a soft golden light, which reflected on the surface of his leather armor, shield, and blade.
Countless jumping flames appeared.
The magical flames instantly dispelled the surrounding thick darkness and evenly illuminated all spaces within a radius of about ten meters, allowing Zhao Xi to peek into the true face of the underground palace of death.
The location he is currently in should be a certain passage in the underground palace, which can also be called a tomb passage, because the underground palace is the most important part of the emperor's tomb and is where the coffins are stored.
It is like a huge maze. If you break into it without knowing the details, it is easy to get lost in it.
However, Zhao Xi was not here to explore the treasures in the underground palace of death. He first put away his battle shield, took out the incomplete map of the underground palace, and held it in his hand to examine it carefully.
The size of the map is not very large, the corners are badly damaged, the lines drawn on it are blurred, and there are dense explanatory texts on the side.
This map comes from the memories of those Paladins who died while exploring the underground palace, and their heroic souls returned to the temple!
At that time, an entire team of twelve Paladins were wiped out in the underground palace. Their equipment and corpses had never been recovered in a certain tomb passage. The locations where everyone died were clearly marked on the map.
But what puzzled Zhao Xi was that he only found a total of eleven marked points on the map, and one was not displayed either because the map was damaged or not.
But Zhao Xi didn't care, because he only needed to find one of the remains to complete the mission.
System prompt: Map reading completed, do you want to memorize it?
Zhao Xi immediately chose OK. The map props in "Glory" only need to be carefully viewed and read, and you can choose whether to save them in the system for review at any time. There is no need to hold them in your hand and look through them all the time.
Of course, after selecting system memory, this map is equivalent to being used and cannot be transferred or sold.
The moment he completed the confirmation, the map in his hand disappeared silently, and a zoomed-out picture popped up in the system's view. Fine lines outlined the map, and the shining red dot was Zhao Xi himself.
Judging from the map, his location is on the upper left side of the underground palace, while the remains of the eleven holy knights are distributed on the lower right side of the underground palace. Even the closest one can be reached by traversing almost half of the underground palace diagonally.
This is definitely not a simple task, because Zhao Xi has no idea what kind of monsters are hidden in the underground palace. He can only move forward while exploring, and the time left for him is not very abundant.
Perhaps because it was built too long ago, there are signs of collapse everywhere in the underground palace tomb passages. Groundwater seeped in and splashed on the ground bit by bit, forming large and small puddles, making the space here very humid.
Zhao Xi's boots made an unpleasant squeaking sound when he stepped on the muddy ground, as if he had hit something greasy. He had to walk carefully, otherwise he would easily slip.
Another headache is the lighting problem. Although there is a bright fire, this sacred skill only lasts for 60 seconds. Zhao Xi had to make up for it in time as he moved forward to avoid falling into dangerous darkness.
middle.
Squeak!
Suddenly, a black shadow quickly jumped out not far in front of Zhao Xi.
With the help of the fire of light, Zhao Xi could easily see that the opponent was a huge mouse. Its size was larger than that of an ordinary domestic cat. It had sharp claws and straight hair, and looked much like a hedgehog.
The underground squirrel, a level 10 monster, the gnawer who lives in the underground palace!
This little monster stopped less than ten meters away from Zhao Xi. It seemed to hate the shining of the bright fire. It stared at Zhao Xi with a pair of bright red eyes as big as marbles, full of mania and violence.
color.
This underground squirrel stood upright with its hind limbs supporting its body, opened its mouth to reveal its sharp teeth, and made a tooth-piercing hiss, as if it wanted to intimidate its enemies.
Don’t overestimate your capabilities!
Zhao Xi shook his head, thrust the battle shield into the ground, pulled out the spinning ax stuck in his waist, and threw it towards the underground squirrel blocking the front!
call!
The small flying ax with gleaming cold light roared through the air, flew ten steps away in an instant, and accurately struck the underground squirrel, knocking it to the ground immediately.
-75!
squeak!
The underground squirrel rolled twice on the ground spitting blood, but it quickly regained its balance. Facing Zhao Xi, its back was arched high, and the gray-black bristles on its body stood up, aiming like a javelin.
Got the latter!
Zhao Xi instinctively sensed that something was wrong, so he didn't care to catch back the flying axe, and picked up the battle shield.
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
The next second, dozens of slender and sharp bristles shot towards Zhao Xi, the dense mass was terrifying.
Fortunately, Zhao Xi had a battle shield in hand and immediately protected his vital points.
Puff puff!
The rat hairs hit the shield, making a sound like rain hitting banana trees, and they broke and fell to the ground.
Zhao Xi was not injured at all.
This is because the squirrel's bristled splash attack power is very low and cannot break through its defense, so it has no lethality no matter how many there are.
Zhao Xi was immediately determined. He pointed the toes of his combat boots at the spinning ax that fell on the ground and gently picked it up. He immediately raised the weapon and flew it up. At the same time, he put away the war blade and reached out with his free right hand like lightning.
Hold it in the palm of your hand.
call!
The spinning ax flew towards the underground gray rat again!
