The sound of metal rubbing against the ground came from the passage, and it got tighter and tighter, getting closer to where the three of them were.
"It sounds like footsteps!" Jia Zhengjin hid behind James and Angela and whispered to them, "Shouldn't the forbidden curse wipe out everyone here? And hundreds of years have passed, even if there are survivors, they will have died long ago.
Alright?"
"I can't feel any life," Angela looked back at him, "I'm afraid it's an undead!"
"Undead?" Jia Zhengjin was surprised, "You never said there are undead here!"
"So what?" James looked at him indifferently, "We will protect you until you get the artifact and then leave, that's all!"
"That's right!" Jia Zhengjin then thought about it. He was protected by two ninth-level experts, so he was afraid of a ball? He was completely relieved at that moment.
Wow, wow...
While they were talking, a humanoid creature wearing a torn animal skin suit appeared at the intersection under the light. This humanoid creature was dry, as if all the water on its body had evaporated, and it looked like a mummy, with its hands covered by heavy iron.
He was chained, and his feet were also dragged with cold iron chains and a large iron ball weighing at least a hundred kilograms.
This is a completely undead spirit. Just by looking at its appearance, you can tell that it is some kind of undead creature!
"James!" Angela said softly.
"Leave it to me!" James strode forward. This kind of thing was simply vulnerable to him.
"Hey! Can you form a team first?" Jia Zhengjin saw this and shouted hurriedly, "You kill monsters and I will gain experience points!"
"Huh?" After hearing this, James and Angela turned back at the same time, looking at him with confusion.
Okay! These two ninth-level monsters don't understand what Jia Zhengjin means at all.
"Team up! You agree to team up with me!" Jia Zhengjin said again, "Hurry up!"
"Whatever, just promise him first!" Angela saw James looking at her with questioning eyes, so she said helplessly. Although the couple actually couldn't understand what he meant.
James nodded in agreement, and Jia Zhengjin suddenly looked happy.
It was just the next prompt that left him a little confused.
[System] Team member matching failed!
What does it mean? Jia Zhengjin frowned slightly, unable to figure out the meaning of this sentence. Either the team formation succeeds, or the team formation fails, or you simply don't give any hints! What does it mean that team members fail to match?
Is it because James and Angela are not his subordinates that they cannot match?
Speaking of Jia Zhengjin's own men, they don't even need to be matched. They are from the same team by default. So the experience points are directly divided, so there is no such trouble!
James didn't care so much. When Jia Zhengjin was confused, he had already raised his hand and fired a lightning ball, which directly turned the undead in front of him into coke.
Sure enough, Jia Zhengjin didn't get any experience points and felt depressed.
"Hurry up and follow!" James killed the undead and turned around to urge, "The burial ground is huge, we must find a position within the limited time!"
"OK! You clear the way in front, I'll be right behind!" Jia Zhengjin asked James and Angela to go first, and he quickly ran over and groped around on the charred corpse.
From the system prompts, I learned that this thing is called [Wandering Prisoner Corpse] and it belongs to some kind of mid-level undead that was resurrected for unknown reasons.
To be honest, this kind of undead is not weak in combat power. If Jia Zhengjin encounters it alone, it would be difficult to defeat it. But in front of James and Angela, they can indeed crush ants easily.
[System] You have obtained the prisoner's shackles!
[System] You got the big iron ball!
[System] You have obtained Jean’s stone inscriptions!
[System] You have obtained the wine recipe!
[System] You have obtained the malt wine recipe!
[System] You have obtained Beikui’s guest’s long knife!
[System] You have obtained Beikui’s guest hat!
[System] You have obtained a wooden wine glass!
[System] You got rotten meat!
The prisoner's shackles, the big iron ball, and the wooden wine cup are all useless debris. The long knife and hat of Beikui's guest are exactly the same as those found before, and even have the same attributes!
Of course, the rotten meat is thrown away directly. Although it can be used to make fertilizer, Jia Zhengjin does not need it.
The formulas of the two wines are pretty good, especially since the grape production in Shenglong City is not small now, and they cannot be sold as fruits alone. Many of them are spoiled in the refrigerator, which is a pity.
Although some villagers are trying to brew various fruit wines using old methods, they cannot make truly fragrant wine. With this recipe, everything is very simple!
What concerned Jia Zhengjin the most and felt strange was the second stone he got with words engraved on it.
[Jean's stone carvings] Damn Danniu locked me in the darkness!
This statement seems a little awkward. What does it mean to be locked next to darkness? Who is Danniu? Darkness, darkness! The stone just mentioned mentioned darkness. How do flames and thunder and lightning merge with darkness? How can it be possible to lock people next to darkness?
Is this a special metaphor, or is darkness a personal name?
Apart from this, Jia Zhengjin could not think of any other possibility.
Flame, thunder and lightning, darkness, Daniel... Aiji and Jean should be the names of the prisoners who wrote the words. So what is the special connection between the first four words? It shouldn't be a simple, meaningless connection, right?
Just as Jia Zhengjin was walking and thinking, James killed another undead.
He hurried over and groped around on the undead body, and sure enough he got some random useless things, as well as a piece of [Orr's Stone Carvings].
[Orr's Stone Inscription]: Daniel can't protect us!
Daniel Protector Jia Zhengjin suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the stone with text in the virtual backpack.
"Why don't you leave all of a sudden?" Angela turned around and said, "Hurry up and follow!"
Is Daniel the human being that James and Angela said was scary to the dragon? Daniel can’t protect us? Does this sentence mean that the human being named Daniel was responsible for protecting these prisoners?
Then there is a contradiction!
Jia Zhengjin frowned slightly. Because what James just said was that Daniel transferred the dragon's forbidden spell to the underground palace, which led to the destruction of everyone!
But according to the prisoner's written record, since Daniel wanted to protect them, why did he transfer the forbidden curse to the ground? Why didn't he simply transfer the forbidden curse to the air or the vast ocean? Wouldn't everyone survive this way?
?
Why did he do this? What reason did he have for doing this?
In other words, the person who recorded these words made a mistake in writing, which changed the meaning of the entire sentence?
Or...
He looked up at James and Angela, and a trace of suspicion slowly emerged in his heart.
"What's wrong? Come on, follow me!" Angela looked at him doubtfully, "What are you doing here?"
Jia Zhengjin immediately smiled: "Sorry! I suddenly had some strange thoughts in my mind, so I was lost in thought!"
"Hurry up and get your things and leave. We don't care how long you want to be in a trance!" Angela shook her head and said, "Follow me, okay?"
