In an alley in the northeastern part of Tristram City shrouded in gray fog, a figure covered in burnt carbon ash was lying quietly in the collapsed wall of a building. Apex 23S.

He cautiously moved forward from the shadows, trying not to make any noise.
Not far in front of him was a huge cemetery. The walls of the cemetery were dilapidated and full of traces of being scorched black by the flames of war.
Inside the cemetery, there is only a huge spire-shaped mausoleum. This mausoleum is quietly located in the center of the cemetery. It looks particularly strange and gloomy under the shadow of the palace not far behind it.
Outside the shabby protective wall of this cemetery that has collapsed, dozens of teams of fully armed skeleton guards are patrolling around the entire cemetery all the time.
And inside the cemetery, you can vaguely see more skeleton guards in orderly branches everywhere, guarding this evil tomb like they guarded the emperor's tomb during his lifetime.
"Isa, is there any good way?"
The figure wrapped in charcoal ash lay beside a section of wall, quietly poking his head out from the shadow of the wall.
This man was Xue Hua who had sneaked into Tristram. After nearly half a day of groping in the fog, he finally found the source of the gray fog a few hours ago, which is where the royal tomb of Tristram is located.
However, the tight defense outside the mausoleum made him feel a little troublesome. These undead guards did not need to rest or change shifts, and they could continue to patrol like this all the time.
But he didn't have that much time to spend with them, so he had to find a way to get past the obstruction of these Skeleton King Guards.
"Master, so far there is no good way to sneak into the tomb without being discovered by the opponent.
The insect swarm cannot move within the scope covered by the gray fog, and even the burrow will be attacked by the gray fog, so the only feasible way at present is to forcefully break in."
Isa's voice was slightly tired. Her body had been eroded by the gray mist before. Although she quickly recovered a lot after being treated in Leviathan, her physical and mental consumption was very high.
"If you force your way in..." Xue Hua frowned when he heard this. There was no guarantee that he would force his way in. After all, he was just a little necromancer who had just reached level 33. Even if his battles were strengthened due to various evolutions, he was not sure.
The level 33 Necromancer is much stronger, but he is no match for so many level 60 monster clones...
"Master, you can use orbital bombing for cover." Isa's reminder sounded in the main hive mind, and this method also made Xue Hua's eyes light up.
When he broke into the gray fog before, he had deliberately kept Isa's secondary commander skills useless in order to use them for the most difficult offensive operations.
Isn't this situation just one of the "most difficult" situations he had ever imagined?
"Okay, let's do it this way, Isa, you help me plan the entry path and the coverage area of the orbital bombing, and I'll make the preparations."
Xue Hua nodded and asked the adjutant to start planning immediately, while he used the cover of the shadow next to him to get closer to the cemetery as little as possible.
A few minutes later, Xue Hua had climbed under the roof of a building that was thrown into the open space. This was already the closest distance to the cemetery, and there would be no obstacles to avoid if he went further.
"Isa, are you okay?"
"The calculation has been completed, Lord, please proceed according to the planned route."
As Isa spoke, she put a route map into the main hive mind. This route map clearly marked Xue Hua's forward route and the coverage area of the orbital bombing.
The adjutant's plan was to extend ten close-range anti-spore cannons in a straight line into the cemetery. With the bombing cover of the spore cannons, Xue Hua could safely penetrate into the cemetery along with the shelling fire.
The purpose of this plan is not to destroy, but to attack and cover, and time is very tight, so Xue Hua must remember the route and move forward quickly.
"I've written it down, get ready to start." Xue Hua closed his eyes and rehearsed the route map twice in his mind, then nodded sharply and slowly bowed his body from under the broken roof fragments.
"The bombardment is about to begin! Five, four, three, two, one, the spore mines have been launched!"
As Isa's countdown ended, a pitch-black dimensional door suddenly opened above a collapsed gap in the cemetery's protective wall.
All the patrolling skeleton guards felt the destructive force coming from the dimensional gate. They all pulled out the swords from their waists and uniformly raised their shields in the direction of the dimensional gate, preparing to welcome the enemy's arrival.
Unfortunately, although the skeleton guards appeared to be very well-trained, what emerged from the dimensional gate was not an enemy.
But dark green spore mines!
boom!!
Boom boom boom!!!
The spore mines were arranged vertically in the shape of a "1" in mid-air, and they bombarded very rhythmically from outside the protective wall of the cemetery to the side of the mausoleum inside the protective wall.
In the dark green poisonous smoke of the explosion, a figure holding a crown in his left hand and a staff in his right followed the successive explosions and quickly broke into the defense line of the skeleton guards. All the skeleton guards in front of him were dropped from the sky.
The spore mine exploded into bone fragments all over the sky.
With the help of the cover of orbital bombing, Xue Hua successfully rushed into the cemetery. Although the skeleton guards outside the cemetery had begun to organize and prepare to come in to hunt him, he had successfully pushed open the door of the cemetery and plunged in.
Entering the dark corridor under the tomb.
"Huh... Huh... I haven't run so hard for a long time... Huh... I'm talking to Isa, isn't the landing speed of the orbital bombing a little faster..."
In a corner inside the mausoleum, Xue Hua sat down on a stone box containing burial objects, breathing heavily.
It was a life-and-death experience just now, and he almost couldn't keep up with the spore mine's advance.
Those damn skeleton guards are not easy to mess with. Once he loses the cover of the orbital bombardment, Xue Hua has no confidence that he can survive being surrounded by them for a few minutes.
Fortunately, the final result was not bad. He successfully rushed into the mausoleum surrounded by so many level 60 monster clones.
After taking a short rest, Xue Hua gently shook the staff in his right hand, and a white-light illuminating energy ball appeared at the tip of the staff.
With this relatively good light source, Xue Hua carefully took in a large amount of the surrounding environment.
On the stairs not far in front of him was the gate of the mausoleum. It should have been tightly sealed, but because Xue Hua had the crown of the Skeleton King in his hand, the seal did not stop him at all.
There is now a small crack in the gap of the mausoleum door, and countless gray mists that appear from nowhere are continuously coming out of the crack. This must be the source of the gray mist outside.
But what makes Xue Hua happy is that there is finally no fatal gray fog in this mausoleum.
Maybe the seal in the mausoleum is not completely broken, and the Skeleton King's power is still suppressed here.
