Chapter 441 Hidden Body, Lord of the Fallen!

After Lin Xun put the two demon statues into the 'Star Cage', he quickly headed into the depths of the mausoleum.

[You go down the stairs and arrive at the deep level of the ‘Ancient Mausoleum’...]

[The scene seen here is similar to that of the upper level, except that the number of earthen jars accumulated in the tomb has decreased sharply, and the volume of the earthen jars has also become much larger. 】

[You pick an earthen jar at random and read the words engraved on the surface of the jar. 】

[According to written records, you know that the owner of the earthen pot is a powerful demon at the level of a demon. He created many brilliant achievements in the war between gods and died gloriously in the end...]

[The demon clan has strict hierarchies. Different from the upper level of the mausoleum, the demons buried in this level have at least reached the level of demon gods...]

[You open several earthen jars, which are still filled with black sand and gravel powder...]

[You might as well ignore these jars and rush to the deepest part of the mausoleum...]

【……】

[As you pass through one tomb chamber after another, you finally reach the end of the tomb. 】

[The tomb at the end of the mausoleum occupies a very large area, but it is empty. Only three tall thrones stand in the deepest part of the tomb. 】

[The scene in front of you is finally no longer a cookie-cutter earthen jar. You suddenly become interested and quickly come to the throne...]

[There is no one on the three thrones, leaving only three black horns of different shapes and sizes. 】

[The largest horn is larger than a fine bronze carriage, and the smallest horn is only as long as an ordinary human arm. 】

[Even after countless years, even after the erosion of time, you can still feel the terrifying strength that the owner of these three horns had during his lifetime. 】

[For some reason, these three devil horns were not polished into powdered sand and put into earthen jars, but were placed alone on the throne. 】

[You discovered the ‘Corrupted Lord’s Horn’ (special prop)! 】

[You found the ‘Demon Horn of Killing’ (special prop)! 】

[You discovered the ‘Horn of the Pillar of Darkness’ (special prop)! 】

[Do you want to keep the three devil horns? 】

"Huh? The owner of these three horns is the most powerful demon god that the stone demon just said?"

Lin Xun looked happy, but did not press the receive option directly.

[Although time is tight at the moment, to be cautious, you did not directly collect the horns left by the three most powerful demon gods. 】

[You know that the entrance to the deep parts of the mausoleum is guarded by stone demons. Now that we are facing the relics of the three most powerful demon gods in the past, there must be corresponding guardians or some kind of trap here. 】

[You carefully observe the surrounding environment and explore carefully, but you don't find anything deliberate. 】

[You walk around the throne and find the written text on the back of the throne...]

[These words record the life stories of the three demon gods. You browsed through them in a hurry and found nothing wrong...]

"Hiss...it shouldn't be."

"According to the nature of the underworld game, with three demon horns right in front of you, there must be a BOSS or a huge trap."

"Now the BOSS has neither seen nor noticed the trap. Do you have to take away the props to trigger the trap..."

[Suspicious apostle, what should you choose next? 】

[1. Taking risks, knowing that there must be related traps, but still choosing to take three devil's horns. After all, people die for wealth and birds die for food. Taking risks for huge benefits is not reckless, but the courage to face the crisis...]

[2. To shrink back and wisely choose to turn around and leave even though he knows that there will be related traps. After all, there are many demons waiting for you outside the mausoleum. If you die here, your noble identity of 'Son of the Abyss' will be far away from you...]

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, considered it carefully, and finally pressed the first option.

[You strode to the throne and pocketed the three Demon King's Horns one after another...]

[You have obtained the ‘Corrupted Lord’s Horn’ (special prop)! 】

[You have obtained the ‘Demon Horn of Killing’...]

【You got...】

[After collecting the three Demon King's Horns, you immediately tense up, be fully alert, and be prepared to deal with anything. 】

[Whether it’s a trap that suddenly arises or a guardian monster that emerges from nowhere, you are mentally prepared. 】

[However, after you put the three horns into your bag, nothing unusual happened...]

"Has the underworld game changed its gender?"

"Perhaps it is because of the age that the reaction mechanism or trap device has failed?"

When Lin Xun saw such an unreasonable scene, he didn't have time to think about it and ran away immediately using his body.

You have obtained the most precious props in the mausoleum. If you don’t run away, why don’t you stay here and wait for the trap to be triggered?

He ran all the way and quickly returned to the upper level of the mausoleum...

While running away, open the inventory to view the properties of the props.

['Horn of the Fallen Lord' (special prop): The horn left behind by the most powerful god in the demon clan. After countless years of baptism, the special material of the horn has long lost its effectiveness, and the remaining power has also disappeared... except for using There seems to be no other use in remembering the greatness of the Demon God. 】

[The effect of this prop is unknown and cannot be used actively. 】

['Devil Horn of Killing' (special prop): The horn left behind by the most powerful god in the demon clan...]

[‘Pillar of Darkness Horn’ (special prop):…]

The descriptions of the three props are exactly the same, indicating that the remaining power of the gods in the horns is gone, and the usage options of the props are gray.

The description of high EQ is 'the effect of this prop is unknown and cannot be used actively', and the description of low EQ is 'the prop is a collectible and can be seen but not used'.

"Damn, no wonder there's no BOSS guarding the treasure chest. It turns out to be a piece of junk that's not exactly what it's supposed to be."

Lin Xun had a vague feeling that the horns might have other functions, but from the ease with which they could be obtained, it could be inferred that even if the props had hidden effects, they probably wouldn't be that powerful.

【……】

[You arrive at the entrance gate of the mausoleum and are about to push open the extremely heavy stone door...]

[At this moment, countless chaotic characters jumping around in the corner of the tomb appeared out of thin air! 】

[The characters gradually piece together and combine to become a huge and ferocious beast. 】

[The beast is completely composed of chaotic characters, and the characters are constantly shaking and changing shapes. Just looking directly at the beast, you will feel disordered and chaotic. 】

[You discovered the ‘Beast of Disorganized Knowledge’! 】

Lin Xun was stunned: "What is going on?"

He didn't understand whether one of his choices was wrong, or whether the 'Servant of the God of Knowledge' was summoning him again...

[Facing the ferocious beast rushing towards you, the consciousness of the ‘Great Sage’ appears behind you...]

[As soon as it raised its staff, the dragon spear penetrated the body of the beast, smashing it into countless scattered characters...]

[These characters seem to be attracted by something and are sucked into your body...]

[You defeated the ‘Beast of Disorganized Knowledge’! 】

[Your ‘Blessing of Knowledge +8’ is upgraded to ‘Blessing of Knowledge +9’. After the amount of knowledge is overloaded, the upper limit of the amount of knowledge acquired increases again! 】

After the death of the beast of disordered knowledge, the portal did not appear as before, indicating that it was not the servant of the knowledge god who wanted to summon him, but that he made a wrong choice.

The purpose of sending the beast of disordered knowledge was to help him correct his mistakes.

"Do you want me not to leave the mausoleum now..."

"No! There must be a major mistake to let the beast of disordered knowledge inform me."

Lin Xun realized something instantly and quickly returned to the depths of the mausoleum.

[You quickly go to the deepest part of the mausoleum and see the three huge demon thrones again. 】

[There is nothing on the throne. The only valuable ‘Devil’s Horn’ has been taken away by you. 】

[You look around to make sure you haven’t missed anything...]

[Do you want to leave the mausoleum immediately? 】

Lin Xun had already vaguely guessed the purpose of the arrival of the 'Beast of Disorganized Knowledge'.

The underworld game has been misleading him, making him think that the 'devil horns' are the only thing left by the demon clan.

As a result, after he obtained the horns of the Three Demon Gods, he thought he had succeeded and immediately fled the mausoleum.

The real precious thing is probably not the devil's horn, but something else.

There are no other objects in this tomb that can hide anything, and the only ones that can hide other rewards are the three thrones.

"Could it be that the treasure is not placed on the throne, but hidden inside the throne?"

"Are you going to demolish it by force..."

Lin Xun thought this way, even though he was clearly conscious, the underworld game did not pop up the option of forcibly demolishing the throne.

"In other words, if there is something really hidden in the throne, then this thing is probably not a reward that should be given during the normal game process."

"Tear it down! You'll die once!"

He immediately switched the body of the 'Son of Evil' and used the 'power of flesh and blood' to forcibly control the body.

[You stride to the throne on the far left. The tall throne is carved from a huge piece of rock. Compared to your small size, the throne looks like a two-story building. 】

[You take a deep breath, terrifying power brewing and gathering in your body...]

[You take a sudden step, leap up high, and release all your surging power with the slashing of the 'Bloody King's Sword'! 】

[There was a loud bang and a loud noise! 】

[The entire mausoleum trembles slightly under your powerful blow, and the dome of the mausoleum above your head is rustling with dust...]

[You hold the ‘Sword of the Bloody King’ and split the entire throne and its base into two from top to bottom...]

[But to your surprise, the interior of the throne is solid and does not contain any items. 】

Lin Xun frowned slightly, but did not give up, but turned to the remaining two thrones.

There was a lot of violent demolition just now. If we don't leave the mausoleum as soon as possible, an accident may happen.

【……】

[You split open a throne again, but still found nothing. 】

【……】

[You come to the last throne. This throne is where the horns of the demon god named ‘Lord of the Fallen’ are placed. 】

[The horns of the 'Lord of the Fallen' are much smaller than the other two demon kings, and their horns are only as long as an average person's arm. 】

[The size of the throne in front of you is also much smaller, about the size of a fine bronze carriage...]

[With your last hope, you split the throne with all your strength! 】

[Rubbles burst out, dust flew, and the throne was split into two...]

[At its base, the originally solid throne base is suddenly hollow...]

[Lying among them is a tall demon with dark skin, its eyes tightly closed, and there is no breath of life in its body. 】

[Compared to other demon races, this demon's size is not exaggerated. It is about three meters tall, with jet black scales all over its body, a pair of bat-like black wings on its back, and a thick tail. There are dense bone spurs on it. 】

[However, there are no horns on both sides of the forehead of its ferocious head. The horns were broken off from the roots and are missing. 】

[You discovered the ‘Fallen Lord of the Abyss’! 】

[The body of the ‘Lord of the Fallen Abyss’: one of the most powerful gods ever born in the demon race, fell during the first divine war, countless years have passed since then. This body was not preserved through special techniques, but it still maintained physical integrity despite the erosion of time. This is a symbol of reaching the realm of 'eternity'. 】

[Even if its divine power has been lost, the physical strength of this body alone can reach the level of 'immortal' pseudo-god! 】

Lin Xun was overjoyed.

"If the servant of God hadn't reminded me, I would have almost missed this incredible wealth."

This body reward is obviously not a reward that should be given in the normal process of the game, and it cannot be obtained by searching for methods.

When the apostle expresses strong thoughts and consciousness, the underworld game does not provide corresponding options, and the apostle cannot use the body to complete some operations that are not allowed in the game.

If it weren't for Lin Xun's "flesh and blood authority", he would never have been able to see the real demon body hidden under the throne.

Just as he was about to possess the body, he realized that he seemed to be happy too early.

"Damn! Why is there no possession option?"

He looked through the text carefully, but saw that the underworld game did not give the possession option at all.

It seems reasonable when you think about it. The possession option is also an option given by the underworld game.

He used the "power of flesh and blood" to transcend the underworld game to obtain rewards that were not in line with the game flow. Naturally, the ownership of the rewards did not belong to him.

Just like Lin Xun used the power of flesh and blood to forcefully pull the teleportation painting of 'Star Cage' from the wall.

Although he got the painting, the actual ownership of the painting did not belong to him, so the transferred painting could not be put into the inventory, and the underworld game would not pop up the option to put it into the inventory.

The same is true for this body now. If it exceeds the restrictions of the underworld game, the game will certainly not give the option of possession.

"If you don't give me options, you think I can't do anything, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xun repeated his old trick and decided to get the body first. As for the ownership rights... he had to get the body first!

He immediately used the 'trap transmission device' to lock the body that had been dead for a long time into the 'star cage'.

After doing all this, Lin Xun immediately returned the same way after confirming that nothing was missing.

[You come to the entrance gate of the mausoleum and push open the extremely heavy stone door...]

[The ‘Beast of Disorganized Knowledge’ did not appear this time. You successfully opened the door and saw a group of demon kings waiting anxiously...] (End of this chapter)
