Chapter 493, Underground Palace under the Lake
The four-legged monitor lizard is a waterborne amphibious mount.
It is equally fast underwater and very agile.
Fang Hao grabbed the monitor's saddle with one hand and dived quickly along a hemp rope hanging from the shore.
Gulu! !
There was the sound of bubbles in their ears, and a school of fish was swirling around them.
Soon, the dive slowed.
A huge stone cave appeared in front, and the giant lizard led Fang Hao directly into the cave.
After swimming for a while, he floated up along the rope again.
Above the head, a faint light can be seen.
It seems that we are in the right place.
Wow!
Out of the water.
Fang Hao exhaled heavily, and Dimitga held the luminous stone in one hand and pulled him out of the water with the other.
"Take the others over." Fang Hao patted the giant lizard on the back.
Gudong! !
The monitor lizard dived down again and started to pick up the people behind.
The distance of this dive is not very close. If you are not in good physical condition, you will probably suffocate to death in the water.
"Sir, this place should be inside a mountain." Dimitga held up the luminous stone and said softly.
In the hazy light, you can see the rugged stone walls all around.
It was dark above, and the scene at the top could not be seen.
On the right side of the stone wall, there is a huge stone cave, which is completely dark.
Not long after.
A burst of bubbles began to appear on the water below.
The giant lizard dragged Luo Li and four lion-hearted knights out. Fang Hao and Demitja pulled these people ashore.
Immediately afterwards, more and more people came out.
Among them was Li Rong, who was panting heavily and his face turned purple from the pain.
Fang Hao pulled her up and said, "How are you? Are you okay..."
"It's holding me back. What's wrong with your mount? I wanted it to take me for a while, but it avoided me." Li Rong complained while taking a deep breath.
On the side, the giant lizard glanced here with its huge eyes.
He immediately turned back, curled up into a ball, and lay directly on the ground.
"It probably doesn't know you. When you go out, let it take you for a while." Fang Hao explained.
Li Rong was indeed choked.
His face was turning purple. If he hadn't come out just now, if it took a few minutes, everyone would be gone.
"Okay, okay."
"Okay, everyone, check the equipment and get ready to explore." Fang Hao greeted loudly.
At the same time, he opened the Book of Lords and took out a bolt-action rifle.
Distributed to his own Lionheart Knight.
In Silver Wing City, Fang Hao put all the rifles in the team into the demon space.
This time, it came out and was distributed again.
Lionheart Knight, skilled in inspecting firearms.
After distributing the guns, they began to distribute luminous stones, potions, and detonators.
The various props were handed out, making Li Rong and others on the side widen their eyes.
What the hell is going on.
I thought it was about survival in the wild and underground exploration.
What's the matter with you taking out 50 guns and so many props.
It was like giving away money to his subordinates.
This made Li Rong a little embarrassed, and everyone just sat in silence.
She originally thought she was doing well, even if the hero was not as strong as Fang Hao, but she had such a big industry.
Don't lose the money in your hand to him.
Now I see luminous stones one by one, rifles being fired at will.
Comparing the two parties, there is simply a world of difference.
Wait until everything is ready.
Fang Hao continued to say to Li Rong: "I'll use my skills to investigate, everyone be prepared."
"Well, you have the final say." Li Rong said.
Fang Hao nodded and flicked his fingers, and an owl made of thunder and lightning immediately condensed around him.
Then, with everyone watching, the owl flew directly into the dark cave.
Thunder Owl has the ability of night vision.
While Fang Hao was sharing, he could also clearly observe the situation in the cave.
…………
The cave is dark and deep.
As we go deeper, many winding and forked roads begin to appear.
It's easy to lose your sense of direction if you enter in a hurry, and the entrances all look the same unless each intersection is marked with special markings.
Otherwise, it will be easy to not tell which is which and get lost in it.
However, Fang Hao also discovered some gains.
The mineral resources here are very rich.
This should be a gem-type mineral vein. Once mined, it can produce a large amount of gem resources.
By then the exploration is over and there is no danger.
It would be better to discuss with Li Rong and work together to mine this mineral.
Soon, Lei Ling found the main road leading to the depths.
All the way in, the road began to become one.
A large number of mushrooms and moss began to appear on the stone walls on both sides of the road.
The mushroom is about the size of a fist, all white, with white tendrils on the edges, like an umbrella with white lace.
The moss covers a large area and has basically covered the walls and floor, forming a blanket.
Like fluorescent paint in the modern world, the entire piece glows with a faint green fluorescence.
The carpets and mushrooms grow together, becoming denser the deeper you go.
It's like a circular channel that gradually tightens.
Looking at the greenery, we are in this silent cave again.
It really has a creepy feeling.
Among these carpets, you can also see some covered gray-white crystal stones.
Shadow Stone.
It seems that this is really the territory of dark creatures.
Go through the area where creep and mushrooms grow.
Lei Ling soon reached the depths of the cave.
This is a huge space, the size of a stadium.
Creeps and mushrooms do not grow here.
Relief patterns can be seen on the walls of the hall, and the sconces have rotted sconces.
Luminous stones fell to the ground one by one, still emitting a soft light.
You can even see several complete stone buildings and various remaining traces of life.
It seems that this place is really a miniature city built underground.
And in the middle of the hall.
It was a group of soldiers lined up neatly and kneeling on the ground.
They lowered their heads, as if they were sleeping. The armor on their bodies had rotted away, and large pieces of the connected armor had fallen off, hanging loosely on their bodies.
After getting a little closer, the attributes of the soldiers were displayed.
[Spirit-Binding Guard (Level 7)]
Being able to see the names and ranks of these soldiers means that they are military units and retain their combat effectiveness.
But what surprised Fang Hao was that all the soldiers in this hall were seventh-level.
They are all seventh-level undead troops.
Undead creatures, coupled with the seventh level, the combat effectiveness of these arms can be said to be quite powerful.
Moreover, there are quite a few spirit-binding guards here. After a quick count, there are nearly three hundred.
Judging from the number of troops he carries, there is a certain danger in a fight.
After the investigation was completed, Fang Hao directly dispersed the magic.
The thunder spirit owls scattered on the spot and disappeared.
Fang Hao after recovering.
Open the Book of Lords directly and view the map that was just automatically recorded.
He called Dimitja and Li Rong over again.
He said softly: "There are many forks in the road here. Only this one is the passage to the underground palace, and the rest are dead ends."
The map is clearly drawn.
As you can see, there are quite a lot of winding roads.
"Understood." Li Rong nodded.
Fang Hao continued: "In the underground palace, there are more than three hundred undead soldiers of the seventh level."
"Huh? So many."
Li Rong was shocked. Although he knew it was dangerous here, he didn't expect the monsters to be of such a high level.
All have reached level 7.
The one hundred people she brought were only of the third level, and they were in such a dark cave.
For our own side, we are at a disadvantage in all aspects.
"Brother Fang Hao, what do you think we should do?" Li Rong looked up at Fang Hao.
Now if Fang Hao has no good solution, they can only swim back the same way.
When my strength allows, I will come back and continue exploring this underground palace.
Fang Hao thought for a moment and discussed it with Dimitga.
Said: "You can give it a try. If it doesn't work, let's swim back from the water."
"Well, tell me what to do."
Li Rong didn't want to waste her time. If Fang Hao left, she might not be able to take over this underground palace in a year and a half.
Fang Hao continued: "The tunnel connecting the underground palace has many forks and is relatively narrow. If we attack inside, we will not have the advantage. The best way is to let these undead come out. We block the entrance of the tunnel and attack them. , In this way, no matter how many people they have, they will not be able to take advantage of their numbers."
His idea was simple. At most, three or four people could pass through the cave abreast.
When I walked into a narrow place, I couldn't even lift the knife.
They blocked the entrance of the cave and used rifles to attack inside. If it worked, they would have time to jump directly into the water and swim back.
Li Rong nodded, feeling that this method could be tried.
However, this way, she and her men would be of no use.
I don’t have any long-range weapons, so it’s not appropriate to be a cheerleader.
After thinking about it, Li Rong's eyes flashed, and she had an idea to expand on Fang Hao's method.
"Brother Fang Hao, I asked someone to trade some burning materials. When these undead come out, burn them to death."
Kerosene is a controlled item and is difficult to obtain.
But other substitutes are still easy to find.
Fang Hao shook his head, "It's so closed in here. Not to mention that the oxygen will be burned out, and we will be smoked to death by then."
"Right……."
This left Li Rong with no choice.
After seeing no other better way.
Fang Hao said directly: "Dimitra, please make arrangements, and we will proceed according to this plan. If it doesn't work, we will withdraw directly."
"Yes, sir." Demitga responded and began to prepare.
The people on Fang Hao's side were extremely busy.
Luminous stones were placed in the middle of the tunnel, and many obstacles were set up to slow down the enemy.
Then, the Lionheart Knights stood in formation at the entrance of the cave.
Lying down in the front, half squatting in the second row, and standing upright in the third row.
Even then, there were only four men in each platoon who could shoot.
Behind the guard, there is a locking dragon crossbow bed, facing straight ahead.
"Sir, get ready," Demitga said.
Fang Hao nodded.
"Arrange someone to lure out the undead."
"yes!"
A scout was selected and entered the cave directly.
Afraid of taking a wrong turn in the panic when the scout came back, he tied a rope behind him.
Just follow the rope all the way back.
After the scout made sufficient preparations, he took a deep breath and went straight into the cave.
Everyone fell into silence.
Waiting silently.
Not long after, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the depths of the cave.
Under the illumination of the luminous stone, one could already see the scouts escaping in a hurry.
Stumbling out.
"Get ready...!" Dimitga said.
From the depths of the cave, dense footsteps could be heard.
Soon, spirit-binding guards wearing rotten armor appeared densely in the cave.
"Shoot..." Demitga ordered coldly.
Bang bang - bang bang!
Intense gunshots rang out, pouring bullets into the cave.
After the first round of shooting, the body of the undead in the front row only trembled a few times under the power of the bullets.
But the pace did not stop.
“Keep shooting….”
Bang bang!
The gunfire continued.
After the second round, some of the undead began to fall to the ground and did not get up.
The gunfire continued.
The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the area, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.
And inside the cave.
After several rounds of shooting, many spirit-bound guards fell to the ground.
And through the thunder spirit, Fang Hao, who was standing above the cave entrance and observing, discovered the difference between these spirit-binding guards.
In the empty eye sockets, a faint blue firelight flashed.
The spirit-bound guard who had not fallen lifted up his dead comrade and held it in front of him to resist the bullets and speed up the attack.
The black scimitar in his hand was slashing at the roadblock in front of him.
Pass the broken obstacle blocking the road to the guard behind, and throw it into the fork on the side.
This shocked Fang Hao.
Whether it's using corpses as shields or working together to clear obstacles.
It all means that these undead soldiers have great wisdom.
Possessing wisdom and possessing the body of the undead.
In a sense, it is immortality itself.
Seeing that the bullet had little effect.
Demitga ordered again, "The soldiers retreat and the ballistae fires."
The soldiers in front quickly retreated to both sides.
Give way to the front.
boom--!
There was an ear-splitting bow sound, and a crossbow bolt with a thick arm and a barb in front roared out.
With bursts of sound breaking through the air, it shot straight into the cave.
Wow! !
The dragon-locking crossbow is very powerful and is usually used to hunt dragons.
In the blink of an eye, the crossbow arrow was in front of the undead.
Wow! !
Like a string of candied haws, it ran through a whole row of undead.
And the barb in front of the crossbow arrow, with the blessing of huge power, directly shattered the bodies of these undead guards.
boom!
Finally, the crossbow bolt was nailed to the wall at the end.
As for the entire cave, except for a few scattered spirit-binding guards, it was even a little empty.
Seeing this scene, everyone present felt happy.
This proves that their idea is valid.
If the Locking Dragon Crossbow is no longer effective, they will have no choice but to retreat and swim ashore.
But now it has been proven to be effective, so if it is cleaned up, there will be no problem.
"The ballista continues to reload and the musketeers continue to attack."
At the corner of the cave, another large number of spirit-binding guards rushed out.
This time, they were faster and picked up the bodies of their dead companions.
Resisting bullets, running and rushing forward.
