643 Strange
The Elf Ancient Tomb... Hearing this word, everyone in the Cold Wind Mercenary Group's eyes were straightened.
Almost everyone knows the meaning of this word.
Because there is no continuous historical record, they do not understand why the ancient tombs of elves appeared on human land, and they do not want to understand. But they know that the ancient tombs of elves usually have a lot of wealth. Even if there is no jewelry, just the artistic carvings or magic props left behind in the past, they will be sold at a high price.
"No wonder you are willing to hire us at such a high price." Shalin smiled helplessly: "It turns out to be an elf tomb. Indeed, hiring us is the best choice."
Beta bounced his fingers, and the fossils were applied to clay. The land in front quickly became softer and then piled up around. A dark hole appeared in front of everyone.
"Why, do you regret it?" Beta asked while casting a spell.
Shalin shook his head: "The magic contract has been signed. Please don't mention it if you regret it. Besides, you are willing to hire us to pull us out of the mud. We are already very grateful. We don't want to do the ungrateful things, at least we don't want to do it now."
The other team members had a look of greed in their eyes, but when they heard this, their eyes gradually became clear.
Beta threw a illumination ball in, then smiled and said, "I don't know if there is any wealth in this ancient tomb. It's too early to say that there are great gains."
When the Hanfeng Mercenary Group heard this, they felt very reasonable.
Under the light of the illumination ball, there was a stone staircase below the hole. Shalin took a look and said, "Three-one formation, the old rules."
The six people immediately surrounded Beta in the middle, and then Sharin got Beta's nod to agree, walked in the front row in person, and led everyone down.
After entering the cave entrance, Beta first gave everyone a self-respiratory technique, and then gave them a group anti-virus technique.
The Elf Ancient Tomb is nearly ten thousand years old, and no one dares to guarantee the air there will be any toxins.
Feeling the effect of these two magics, the Hanfeng Mercenary Group looked at Beta and was quite impressed.
Many mercenary magicians usually only use a small amount of magic, and use aggressive magic as a helper. For example, Beta has now shown signs of his ability to do a lot of magic, whether it is teleportation, mud and stone, or the two magics just now, can be regarded as unpopular magic in essence.
Even unpopular magic can be used, so I guess I can do it too.
Beta popped his fingers and closed the hole again, giving people the feeling of isolating the world of reality and dreams.
The illumination ball floated slowly, and Shalin took a deep breath and followed.
The underground world was silent. In addition to the sound of footsteps, everyone could hear breathing, heartbeat, and even the faint sound of clothes rubbing against their skin.
The quiet road always gives people an illusion, the illusion that time is long.
Shalin and the others walked down the stone tights and tights. He felt that he had walked for a long time, at least one kilometer. But he still didn't see it to the end, and couldn't help feeling guilty. Many supernatural stories about tomb robbers came to his mind for some reason, and his scalp was a little numb.
The rest of the Cold Wind Mercenary Group also had the same feeling.
But in essence, they walked down for more than two hundred meters.
Beta was very calm. He was not even afraid of gods. How could he be afraid of a mere tomb? Even if there were necro creatures, it was just an ordinary "monster" to him, and he could get experience value by killing. He was eager for more undead creatures in this tomb.
There are murals on both sides of the stone stairs.
These murals were originally of color, but because they were too long, the pigments had already evaporated, leaving only some stone gray-white reliefs.
Most of these murals depict scenes from the period when the elves ruled humans, towering city walls, magnificent magic towers, and... the tiny humans crawling on the ground.
This is not the first time Beta has explored the ancient tomb of the elves. When he was a mercenary, he had explored several of them, but they were all robbed. He couldn't find any good things, but he just found some abandoned art, but even so, those arts could be sold for a little money.
Each ancient elves has similar murals, but depending on the owner of the tomb, the style of the murals is also different. However, they also have the exquisite and gorgeous exaggerated style of the ancient elves.
However, this elves' tomb is different from what Beta had explored before. After walking for a few minutes, Beta found that the content of the mural began to change. There were no humans in the mural, but elves who were lying on the ground. They were kneeling down and worshiping a woman without a face.
The goddess of the forest?
Beta felt it was a bit unlikely, because the goddess of forest he knew seemed to be a tablet... and the goddess without a face in front of him had an exaggerated pair of plumage.
So who are these elves kneeling down to worship? World Tree?
Even more impossible. The elves are very proficient in painting art. The painting masters among them can draw a person's temperament. Although the goddess in front of her has no face, she is full of sharp temperament.
In the concept of the elves, the mother has motherhood. Her portraits have always been prominent in gentle temperament, and it is impossible to have such sharp temperament.
Back then, the Jialan Temple Union dug this ancient tomb and obtained a lot of wealth and magic props from it, but they never said that there was anything strange about this tomb.
Are they not interested in the origin of Murong, or have they deliberately...hidden something?
Beta stood in front of the largest mural. This was a platform for stairs turning. Beta waved his hand to let them rest. After all, it seemed that it was the first time that the Cold Wind Mercenary Group entered the elves’ tomb. They were very nervous. Although they didn’t walk for a long time, they had already spent a lot of energy.
Beta probably has a mechanism for going down. Taking a break at this time should calm their nervousness and restore some physical strength.
Sure enough, after a while of rest, their emotions became much more stable.
The next seven people continued to walk down. As expected, as Beta expected, after less than three minutes, they arrived at the bottom of the Mu acupoint, the real entrance. They no longer had to continue walking down, but began to move forward in parallel.
It was from here that the murals were gone and traps and mechanisms appeared.
The thieves in the Cold Wind Mercenary Group were of good strength. He discovered almost all the mechanisms and cracked them, except for two magic mechanisms.
There was a thief who didn't notice it and moved directly. Fortunately, Beta was very sensitive to magic fluctuations and grabbed the thief's collar and dragged it backwards. Otherwise, he would directly turn into an ice sculpture, which would be absolutely dead.
The second magic mechanism thief discovered it and couldn't crack it, so Beta took action to solve the trap.
It took them six hours to get through the short distance of 300 meters due to the mechanism and the trap. Many face-to-face levels require cooperation to crack them.
After they broke all the traps, they came to the two gray matter stone doors.
A stone gate that is at least ten meters high and two meters wide on both sides.
Looking at a few ancient elves words on the stone gate, Beta is quite familiar with ancient elves words. Although he is not very proficient, these words are not profound and difficult to understand. When translated, it means that.
‘My name is Kokoyala, this is my place to sleep, don’t disturb me.’
Behind these two doors, the fluctuations of undead creatures were faintly heard.
Shalin touched the stone gate and took a breath: "The center of the tomb behind it should be, and I don't know what will be inside."
Although according to the contract, their Cold Wind Mercenary Group could not take away anything here, this did not prevent them from curiosity and yearning behind these two doors.
"Stay a break." Beta took some water and dry food from the mansion space: "Eat something, sleep for a while before going in. I think you'd better sleep for a little while."
"No, eating something is enough."
Shalin sat down, and he knew very well that the older the tomb, the greater the chance of undead creatures appearing, and the owner of the elves’ ancient tomb would almost be transformed into undead creatures.
Seeing the captain sitting down, the other mercenaries also sat down to estimate that they were indeed a little tired.
After resting for two hours, everyone stood up and the seven of them worked together to push open the stone gate.
The bottom of the stone door rubbed against the ground, making a giggle sound, echoing in the openness and silence.
Two doors were pushed open, and Beta controlled the illumination ball to float in, and then saw colorful light refracting.
The tomb behind the door is not too big, it is about eleven meters high and twenty meters long. However, there is a pile of two-meter-high gems appearing in front of everyone, and the colorful light is the reflection of these gems.
"This is really... amazing wealth."
Shalin murmured to himself that the people of the Cold Wind Mercenary Group were all lost in the gem luster.
Beta was an exception, looking at a sarcophagus guarded by these gems.
The elves come from the World Tree. If the ancient elves die accidentally, they will not be able to transform into trees. For this reason, they will let someone put their bodies into the wooden coffin. They only use wooden coffin. The coffin villages made of other materials are no different from heresy for them.
But here is a sarcophagus.
Black sarcophagus.
As dark as light-blind, the thick aura of the undead came out of the sarcophagus.
Without thinking, Beta threw a scroll from the mansion space and tore it apart, and the entire tomb chamber was made of bright light, just like the daytime.
The undead aura that emanated from the sarcophagus became a little dimmed.
"Your Excellency." Shalin looked at Beta: "There are so many here... you can't move it all, can you share a little bit of us? Not much, just a little bit."
The contract restricts them, they can't take anything away, but if Beta takes the initiative to give it, that's another matter.
Beta made a pause gesture and stared at the sarcophagus tightly. He seemed to have seen the sarcophagus move slightly just now.
