#2417 - Tomb

What an excellent opportunity!

This marks the fourth time in thousands of years that the undead camp has truly approached the periphery of the mausoleum.

No one is willing to miss this chance.

"The sandstorm is starting to weaken…"

Everyone slowly raised their heads, looking towards the black sandstorm gradually subsiding in the distance.

Among all those gathered here, the lowest in ability is still a high-level undead scholar.

At the same time, the four central elders of the Supreme Central Council, who control the entire undead camp, have also gathered here.

An undead servant stepped forward and reported, "News has arrived that Punoze has been attacked by the Holy See."

"Understood, everything will be discussed after we return."

The central elder waved his hand, completely unconcerned.

As far as they are concerned, what does it matter if Punoze is attacked, or even completely destroyed?

Compared to the mysteries of death they are currently exploring, it is a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

"The sandstorm is about to end."

"Entering the Black Sand Bone Ground on the periphery of the mausoleum, the skeletons guarding the mausoleum are about to revive. Everyone, are you ready?"

The undead camp all nodded.

"Alright, let's go."

As the four central elders slowly stepped forward, entering the peripheral area of the mausoleum, the black sand beneath everyone's feet gradually surged.

Dark skeletons crawled out of the sand, with a faint blue light flickering in their eyes.

"They are the mausoleum guards of Empress Persephone, kill them!"

Lord Danny is entering the Dead Realm for the first time, and even more so, entering the periphery of the mausoleum under the guidance of her mentor, always following behind her mentor.

Looking at the combat power of the mausoleum guard skeletons, a solemn look could not help but appear in her eyes.

The Dead Realm.

Indeed, it is extraordinary.

Even now, the undead camp still does not fully control the method of directly entering the Dead Realm.

This time, entering the Dead Realm is using a tool called Netherworld Soul Stone, attaching willpower to the Soul Stone, entering the Dead Realm through willpower, while the body remains outside.

Achieving this is very troublesome, varying from person to person, generally requiring 1-2 months of prior preparation.

In addition, after entering the Dead Realm, willpower can accomplish many things, but there are also many inconveniences.

For example, one's own strength will be greatly weakened, unable to use any items in the backpack, unable to take any items away from the Dead Realm, unable to cultivate in the Dead Realm, and so on…

But there is one major benefit.

The penalty for death is minimal.

At most, the willpower is damaged, and it can be restored after resting for half a month after returning.

Lord Danny realized that these black skeletal creatures were extremely powerful, capable of fighting against master-level undead mages and undead knights!

And because only the willpower aggregate entered the Dead Realm, Lord Danny's strength was greatly suppressed, and most of her skills and abilities could not be used. With her current ability, she can only protect herself.

Lord Danny dared not move rashly, mingling in the team, following the mentor who had reached the god-level undead studies, breaking a path and slowly moving forward.

Speaking of which, she was able to follow the undead camp into the Dead Realm this time thanks to Fang Heng.

Some time ago, with Fang Heng's help, she made considerable achievements in resisting the Holy See camp, and was invited to this mission.

Compared to this, Ji Xiaobo was able to join directly by flashing his face with the prominent identity of his ancestors.

Ji Xiaobo is also in the center of the team, but Ji Xiaobo's identity is different, he can be protected in the center of the entire team, and the risk factor is greatly reduced.

Just as Lord Danny was thinking, a strange undead black mist gradually emerged, shrouding the Black Sand Bone Ground area on the periphery of the mausoleum.

In a short moment, the visible distance of everyone was instantly obliterated, leaving only five or six meters.

Around them, black skeletons are still constantly emerging from the sand.

"Stay close."

The mentor solemnly instructed, "The Empress's mausoleum guards are immortal and will continue to be reborn. As long as you successfully pass through the Black Sand Bone Ground, the mausoleum guards will not continue to chase you. Remember not to leave the main force."

"Yes! Mentor!"

Looking again, two identical skeletons stood up beside him.

Similarly, a hint of surprise appeared in their eyes.

Although unable to speak, Fang Heng realized that he could use mental power to perform some inefficient communication.

Fang Heng: "What's going on? How did I become such a ghostly figure!?"

Li Shaoqiang: "I don't know!"

[System Notification: The player is currently in a special state].

The game did not provide any explanation.

Beside them, more black skeletons continued to emerge from the sand. After getting up, the skeleton guards turned around and slowly swayed towards the right area.

Tan Shuo: "It seems we have entered a mission state."

Fang Heng frowned tightly.

Indeed, at first glance, they are now in a special mission.

It should be in some kind of possession-like state.

Combined with the task I just saw…

Do we have to fight in this state?

A bit difficult.

Raising his head and looking around blankly, he found that the distance was shrouded in a thin layer of black mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Let's go. The mission requires us to repel the invaders. Let's follow these skeletons and see what the invaders look like."

Whenever he initiated mental communication, the blue light in the eyes of the black skeleton controlled by Fang Heng flickered frequently.

Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo, the two mausoleum guard skeletons, nodded stiffly and followed Fang Heng forward.

As Fang Heng walked, he quickly examined his physical condition.

The good news is that the character interface can still be opened, and all the body's attributes are still there.

However, the backpack is completely unusable, and all skills are locked and cannot be used.

After walking a short distance, Fang Heng had already become accustomed to this skeletal body, deftly wielding the skeletal short knife in his hand, performing a fancy knife trick.

Li Shaoqiang: "Look! Ahead!"

In the area shrouded in the undead black mist ahead, figures covered in blue flames appeared.

All the figures are shrouded in blue flames, making it impossible to distinguish their faces.

Are they the invaders?

A large number of mausoleum guard skeletons, like them, constantly emerged from the sand and surged towards the group of people. Although the group of people gathered together, with the continuous influx of large numbers of mausoleum skeleton guards, people would occasionally fall behind from the entire team.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Perception told him that the intensity of the blue flames covering the outer layer of the invaders is positively correlated with the strength of the invaders themselves!

Not 100%, but in most cases, the stronger and more dazzling the blue flames, the higher the strength of the enemy itself!
