Volume 8 Chapter 215 The Legendary Tomb of Seven Heroes

Chapter 215 The legendary Tomb of Seven Heroes

"I said, I said, get that thing away quickly." The skeleton I stepped on shouted desperately.

I didn't move my fingers away, I just stopped them in front of him and said, "Either tell me now, or I'll let you know right away what it means to be in pain. You decide for yourself."

"I said, I said, we are really the laborers who built the Qixiong Tomb, but we are not ordinary laborers. We are the foremen here, responsible for supervising the work of other laborers. As for lying to you and saying that the entrance is outside, that is because we want to I will get the treasure in the Qixiong Tomb myself. I..."

Before the guy finished speaking, he pressed his fingers hard on his forehead, and then the guy started shaking violently as if he was electrocuted. With such strong strength, I almost collapsed even when I stood up. Hold him down. For a skeleton to explode with such great power, it must burn its soul. After all, skeletons have no muscles. Their strength is the power of their soul. If you want to explode a power beyond the normal value, you must burn an excessive amount of soul. . But this guy didn't burn his soul just to knock me off. He actually had no intention of burning his own soul at all. The situation just now was actually a side effect of my contact with his soul fire using spiritual burning. He is not actively burning his soul, but is passively burning his soul by me, and the burst of energy in turn increases his power. Of course, this kind of power cannot last forever. After all, the soul is not just for burning.

After pressing it for a few seconds, I found that the guy could no longer hold on any longer, so I released my finger. The other person's soul fire had turned into a smoke-like thing, rolling and merging in the skull's head. , it took nearly a minute for the chaotic smoke to come together again and ignite the soul fire again with a bang.

"Do you want to tell the truth now?" I asked in a tone that left no room for questioning.

"I... what I just said is the truth, I really..."

This time I simply pressed my fingers directly into the guy's eye sockets, and then the guy instantly broke out into a more serious struggle than before, and even lifted me off him. Because my soul burning lost support and stopped immediately, but I immediately called out a large group of death guards to push the guy to the ground again, and then pressed the soul burning button again before his soul fire gathered again. Go up.

"Ah..." I don't know whether I should call it lucky or unlucky. That guy actually restored his soul fire at the last moment I touched him. However, his soul fire was extinguished by my soul burning as soon as it was ignited. .

I gave him a chance before but he didn't cherish it. This time I simply pressed my finger until he couldn't gather his soul again if it burned again before letting go of my fingers. However, because the fever was so severe just now, it would take at least ten minutes for his soul to gather again, so I simply walked to the other skeleton. The Death Guards cleverly ran over and pushed each other to the ground like wolves and tigers. Then I raised the finger burning with the soul-extinguishing fire and asked: "Your companion has been burned to the point of death by me." Broken down, are you going to try the pain of having your soul burned away bit by bit like him? Maybe you don’t know what kind of pain it is. I can tell you, it is pain you have never imagined before. , because people will become comatose after being overly shocked, but the soul will not be comatose. Even if it is burned into a state of chaos, you will still feel pain, and it is the kind of severe torture that hurts your heart. In the past, I have used this method to drive three angels and two demons crazy. Based on the strength of your soul, I think your resistance can last for at least an hour. So are you going to accept this hour of torture that is more painful than death or tell me directly. What’s the thing I want to know?”

The soul fire in the skull's eyes beat violently for a long time, during which various colors flashed alternately many times on the soul fire. Finally, the soul fire finally turned into pure white. ', and then the skeleton said: "I am the protector of the country who suggested building the Tomb of Seven Heroes. What you just tortured was Wu Dun, the Qin general who was responsible for building the Tomb of Seven Heroes."

"What about the wind bead from before?"

"The wind bead is not a key at all, it is just a prop used to create a wind tunnel trap. We just hope that you will be blown into the soul crushing formation above because you went to get the wind bead. Unfortunately, you were too strong and failed to succeed."

"Then why did you run away just now?"

"We want to hide in the real Tomb of Seven Heroes while you are looking for the entrance."

"The real Tomb of Seven Heroes? Is that thing here?" I finally heard what I wanted to know most.

"That's right." The sudden answer didn't come from the undead on the ground, but from the hole behind me. At this time, he had no idea who could come over there except the first echelon of Russians.

"Arrived quite early?"

"It's not as early as you." The mage who led the team looked at me and said: "We have been planning this plan for so long, and we even did not hesitate to use large forces across the country to cooperate with us in acting to attract your attention, but we did not expect that we fell short in the end. Zi The sun is the purple sun, and it truly lives up to its reputation.”

"You haven't seen my well-deserved reputation. The intelligence gathering ability of our guild should be the most worthy of my reputation now. I can't discover your actions by myself. But then again, how do you know about our country's mission? ? It seems that this kind of mission related to the national historical process will not be released to foreigners, right? Could it be...?"

"If you can think of it, guess it yourself. I won't tell you anyway." The other party saw through my intention to deceive him, and slyly stated my intention directly.

"Actually, it doesn't make sense to know now." I motioned to the death guard to let go of the skeleton first, and then threw a handful of crystal powder into his eye sockets. His soul fire instantly ignited with blazing flames, and the excess part It even squirted out of his eyes. However, with the burst of fire, his broken arm quickly grew back, and the bones on his body also had a tendency to gradually change to a metallic texture. Unfortunately, the color only changed slightly and then stopped. , obviously that little crystal powder is not enough for him to evolve from Gray Skull to Metal Skull. "Take him with you first." I whispered to the skeleton and then directed the death guards to climb up the cave wall with the skeleton that had not yet recovered.

Seeing the two skeletons and my death guards climbing up the wall, the people on the mage's side immediately wanted to step forward nervously, but I moved a step to the middle and blocked them all. "Hey, hey, hey, I'm number one on the combat power list, can you give me some face? Don't take me for granted, otherwise you'll suffer."

While I was speaking, the skeleton of the national master had climbed to the top of the cave. Because of the crystal powder I added, his physical fitness is obviously much stronger than before. Pulling away a rock on the roof of the cave, a hole was immediately exposed on the cave wall that could accommodate a person barely getting through. The skeleton quickly got in through the hole, and then my death guards climbed in after him.

Seeing the skeleton and death guard disappear on the wall, the Russians below immediately became anxious, but just as they were about to move me, they suddenly took another step to the side to block it, and the other party immediately retreated timidly. These people are not afraid of me in a group fight, but it's different in a one-on-one fight. As long as they are not completely stupid, few people outside the top ten in the combat power list will think that they can fight me in a one-on-one fight.

"Want to go there?" I hooked my fingers at the guy who was planning to rush forward just now. "Just defeat me. Come on, young man, don't be afraid of failure. Do you have the courage to challenge me? Come on, defeat me and you can pass. If you are scared, you will never defeat me."

The guy who was planning to charge forward just now was originally relatively young in the team. Young people of 17 or 18 years old are when they are full of energy. Now that I am aroused, he can no longer hold back. He suddenly yelled and rushed forward waving his weapon. Kuko, who was standing next to him, stretched out his hand to stop him. The next second, a red light flashed, and the guy was instantly blown into a pile of flying objects. Blood sprayed all over Cook's face as he chased him.

"Hahahaha, it's great to be young. He actually believed me after just saying a few words."

"You devil!" Cook couldn't help shouting.

I looked at Cook with a sneer and said: "No, I am not a devil. I am the devil, the devil among devils. If you don't want to die in my hands, you'd better get away from me, especially don't step into my sphere of influence again. Otherwise I will let you know what a real devil is. By the way, you are probably going to die here this time, so I suggest you start attacking now. I will kill you all later anyway. "

"you……"

"Stop talking about you and me, aren't we enemies? Enemies should act like enemies. Come on, attack me as much as you like, I will make you die happily."

"Don't bully others too much."

I raised my hand and threw out a red point of light, which instantly exploded the guy who interrupted into a pile of rotten meat. "Why are you, a little soldier, interrupting what the leaders are saying?"

"You'll die if you wait any longer. Let's all come together and fight him." A guy shouted and rushed forward first.

I casually put him down on the ground and praised him: "Yes, this is the spirit. Where are the others? Is this the only man among you?"

The remaining first echelon personnel finally launched a charge after I prodded them down, but unfortunately, it's not like I can't summon my magic pet now. I won't be afraid of group fights if my strength is not limited. Those guys rushed forward and my familiar also rushed forward. The people on both sides quickly collided with each other and a melee broke out. But the difference is that my magic pets are either extremely large or extremely high-level, and each of them is extremely powerful. The entire battlefield is almost a one-sided attack. Within ten minutes of the battle, there are only corpses on the ground. Of course, the corpses all belonged to the other party. Apart from Ling being scratched on the arm by a magic-breaking arrow, there were almost no casualties on my side.

After dealing with those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the opponent only has the three leaders left. Of course, it doesn't make any sense to me whether they are alive or not. They can't do anything anyway.

"Kill them." Seeing that there were only three people left, I lost interest in taking action. I just waved my hand to let the demon pets settle down, while I walked towards the previous cave wall.

Looking at my three magic pets gradually surrounding them, the mage in the middle suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."

"Huh? Is there anything else you can do?" I turned to look at the three guys and asked.

"We want to negotiate a deal with you," the mage said.

"Are you crazy?" Big Bear and Cook looked at the mage in surprise and asked.

The mage quickly explained to his two companions: "If we don't make a deal, we can't get anything. By trading with Ziri, we can at least get some benefits. Do you want some benefits or none at all?"

After listening to the mage's words, the two gradually became quiet. As the mage said, they might get some benefits if they make a deal with me, but if they resist to the end, it will have no meaning except to kill themselves once.

Seeing that the two companions accepted his point of view, the mage said to me again: "President Ziri, I know that we are not your opponent, but you will not get any benefits if you kill us."

"Oh? Do you think I can get it by making a deal with you?"

"Of course." The mage said and started to touch inside his robe. The demon pet beside me moved quickly towards the middle and blocked me behind him. I thought he was going to bring out some weapon, but in the end, the guy touched from his body. He took out a scroll and a gem and said: "Since you can follow us here, you should also know what is inside. But even if you get that thing, it will be useless, because its core is not there."

"So that thing in your hands is the core?" I asked, looking at the gem and scroll.

The mage nodded and said: "The gem is the core, and a spell is recorded on the scroll. But don't think about robbing, because even if you grab it, you won't be able to get anything, because the spell on the scroll is written in a very special character. Written by, the NPC who posted the quest when we accepted the quest once taught us how to read these words, but you can’t read these words, so you can’t use the spell correctly at all. Without the spell, even if you get the gem, the treasure will only be It's a bunch of useless garbage. What do you think? Come and make a deal with us? We don't want much. For 40 or 60, you take the big head, and we only want the small head. If you agree, we will go in and open the treasure together, and then we will help You read the spell. How about it? Make a decision?"

After hearing what the guy said, I stretched out a hand and said, "In that case, just give me the things first. Anyway, according to you, just having things is useless. If what you said is true , you wouldn’t mind giving me the things first, right?”

After hearing what I said, the mage hesitated slightly and walked towards me, while Big Bear and Cook grabbed him. He looked at the two of them and said, "Don't worry, he won't be able to understand anything given to him anyway."

The two of them thought for a moment and then let go. Seeing that they let go, the mage came over and handed the scroll and the gems into my hands. After I took the gem, I didn't look at it carefully. Instead, I handed it to Ling who was beside me to hold it for me. Then I took the scroll and unfolded it in front of me.

The mage has been staring at my face nervously since he handed the scroll to me. When he saw my brows furrowed, he immediately showed a proud smile, and then asked with a smile: "Why? Like? You can’t understand it, right? Let me tell you, I have identified this thing a long time ago. It is neither Chinese characters nor ancient Chinese characters. It doesn’t matter if you are Chinese, you can’t understand this thing at all. Come and talk to us Cooperate? We only need 40%, and you get the big share. What do you think? Do you agree? You won’t lose money on this deal. If you cooperate, you can get at least half of it. If you don’t cooperate, you won’t even get a hair. You should be able to figure it out, right?"

I finally raised my head under the mage's proud smile, and then suddenly slapped the mage away. Daxiong and Cook immediately wanted to rush forward to help, but they suddenly stopped as soon as they made a move to move, because there was a blood hole on each of their necks, and Yeyue was wiping her behind them. The blood stains on the double snake sword.

After the two guys were killed without any defense, I waved and turned around with all the demon pets and walked towards the hole in the wall. However, I only took a few steps before the mage suddenly rushed over and hugged me. Legs shouted: "President Ziri, you can't leave! You can't read the spell without me. Without the spell, it's useless even if you open the treasure. What I say is true. Don't leave. Make a deal with me." Bar!"

Looking at the mage who was holding my leg, I raised my leg and kicked him to the wall in front. Then I took the scroll and said, "You idiot, you actually went to verify whether it was Chinese characters." , I think you should study Chinese history first. Our China is not your kind of insect-like short-lived country. We are the only unbroken branch among the five ancient civilizations. There have been so many languages ​​in Chinese history that even we ourselves cannot I haven’t studied it clearly yet, but you actually said that you had checked that this is not Chinese. Okay, now I will let you know how extensive and profound our Chinese culture is. Yes, this thing is indeed not written in Chinese characters, nor is it written in any other language. Ancient Chinese writing used for communication. What is recorded on this thing is Dingwen, a special writing used only on ritual vessels and funerary objects. You can understand it as a kind of writing for the dead, and it is specially used for A text written for one’s deceased ancestors. In Chinese ethics, this is a sacred text used to communicate with ancestors, so it will never appear in daily life. In ancient China, only specialized priests could Most people don't recognize this kind of writing. You are stupid enough to find someone to identify whether this thing is Chinese writing. Can you identify it?"

The mage's face turned pale when he heard what I said. Before, he had confidently hoped to use a spell that no one could understand to blackmail me into sharing the treasure with him. But in the end, I was able to understand the words. It was like an instant. Let his utilization value be infinitely close to zero. And what made him even more depressed to death was that he actually handed the thing directly into my hands. If he had known that I recognized this text, he would never have given it to me even if he destroyed it. After all, he gave it to me. The original intention is that they can also get a part of it. If they don't get it at all, of course they would rather I don't get it either. After all, we are in a hostile relationship now, and it is better to destroy it than let us get it. Now the mage was so regretful that he wanted to slap himself in the face.

Seeing how regretful that guy was, I was too lazy to kill him myself, but if I didn't do it, my magic pet would do it for me. The king walked directly over and grabbed his hair with one hand, and pulled his neck with the sword in the other hand. Then he threw him to the ground like a chicken and let him kick and kick him until he died.

After I put away the scrolls and gems, I put away the demon pets as well. The hole in the wall is relatively narrow, and a large magic pet will definitely not be able to fit through it. Besides, it is not convenient to lead so many people through it. After putting away my magic pet, I walked to the edge of the cave wall alone and quickly climbed to the top of the cave along the protruding rocks on the wall. As for the hole, it seemed that it was a bit difficult for me to get through. Fortunately, this hole is just made of rock. You can easily cut through the protruding rocks with eternity to enlarge the diameter of the hole, making it much easier to drill.

In fact, the really narrow part of the hole is only a short section of more than one meter long at the entrance. After passing through that passage, the hole at the back begins to gradually increase. After climbing forward for three or four meters, you can already stand on all fours. Crawling instead of crawling. One or two meters further forward, the height of the cave is even enough for people to bend down and walk inside, and the cave ten meters away is even wider enough to play high jump inside.

After walking forward for more than fifty meters along this passage, the passage suddenly turned a 90-degree right angle to the left. When I turned the corner, the sight in front of me suddenly stunned me. There.

Although the part before the bend gradually opens up, it is still a passage, but the part after the bend cannot be described as a passage at all. This is simply an underground city, and it is also a super metropolitan underground city. Its area is so large that I can't even see the opposite cave wall without activating the observation assistance.

"My lord, you are finally here. Have you finished handling the matter over there?" The skeleton of the national master who was rewarded with some crystal powder by me before saw me appearing at the corner and immediately ran over and said flatteringly.

"What is this place?" Looking at the huge dungeon in front of me, I was in no mood to pay attention to this former national master. Those ancient-style buildings and neat streets all excite me. You must know that this is on Chinese territory, which means that we can occupy it and build it into our own city. The city in front of us is obviously basically completed. All we have to do is make some small modifications to it and then It can be used directly. Not to mention the treasures here, this city alone is worth the price of admission.

However, after seeing this city, I regretted killing those three guys. Because I really want to know whether the original purpose of their Russians was the treasure or the city. You must know that this city is built underground. There is a rule about cities in "Zero" - cities with no other ground buildings except exits and vents do not enjoy urban territory circles.

Originally, according to the system's interpretation, this rule should be a punitive rule. Because dungeons are obviously much easier to defend against monster sieges than ground cities, and dungeons are inherently easier to defend, which are all innate advantages. However, if everyone builds dungeons, the entire game style will be broken. Therefore, in order to balance the dungeons, the system has given the dungeons such a rule.

A general city will have its own territorial circle after it is established. If the city level is high enough, the people in the city can get some special attribute bonuses within this range. In addition, urban territory circles play a more important role, which is to demarcate boundaries. When two guilds build two cities in a relatively close area, the system will automatically divide the boundary line according to the territorial circles of the two cities, so that it can be more clearly known whose territory is where. Similarly, in wars between countries, city territory circles can also be used to mark and occupy other countries' territories, and this is also the main role of building cities in other countries.

But dungeons are different. It has no territorial circle. Except for the city limits, the land above its head does not belong to its territorial limits. This attribute makes dungeons unable to be used to occupy the territory of other countries, nor is it suitable for demarcating boundaries between guilds. Even supply points in advanced leveling areas are not suitable for dungeons. After all, high-level ground cities can provide some attribute assistance to people who are leveling up, but dungeons can't provide anything. Such a city is naturally not suitable for building in a leveling area.

But... the problem that the dungeon does not have a territorial circle may actually be a very useful attribute at this stage. Because if the Russians occupy this underground city here, then because the underground city has no territorial circle, the surrounding guilds will not find that their territories have become smaller at all. So that means they won't know that there is an additional Russian city here. On the contrary, although the underground city does not have a territorial circle, if the Russians occupy it, then the interior of the city will indeed be considered Russian territory. In other words, the Russians can use their domestic teleportation array to teleport here at will in the future, and then as long as they leave from the exit of the underground city, it is equivalent to crossing the border and entering the inland area of ​​our country. This is simply equivalent to establishing a super teleportation point within our country. If such a nail is driven into the country, it will definitely not be a good thing.

Regret is regret, no matter what, people have been killed, and there is no chance to go back on it. Besides, even if they didn't kill me, there's a chance that they wouldn't tell me the truth, so even if I don't kill them, it's probably useless.

The skeleton national master immediately replied very politely after I asked him: "This is where the workers lived when the Qixiong Tomb was originally built. Because the Qixiong Tomb was very large and could not be completed in a short time, we built a city here. Make it easier for workers to live and work.”

"What? Isn't this place the Tomb of Seven Heroes?"

"Of course not." National Master Skull replied: "Qixiong Tomb is a building, not a city. Of course, the actual size of Qixiong Tomb is actually comparable to that of a city, and the construction difficulty is much greater than that of a city. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a big deal. It took three generations to complete.”

I nodded and asked: "Since there is a city here, there should be a lot of workers, right?"

"Well, I don't know the exact number, but there should be about 150,000 people."

"One hundred and fifty thousand people? Then why did I only find a few thousand of your skeletons there?"

"Oh, it's like this." The National Master explained: "We recruited a lot of people to work at the beginning. Some of them were originally families, and some later got married here and gave birth to offspring. They stayed with us all their lives. They all worked here, and their children also became laborers in the construction of Qixiong Tomb. After their death, their bones were buried outside Qixiong Tomb to provide life energy. Their sons continued to work here and became new ones. Families, but the children of these families will be taken away and sent outside to be raised after they are weaned, so they will not know what is going on here. As the children continue to be sent away, the population here will decrease because of the elderly The number of deaths and various accidents continued to decrease, and in the end there were only about 20,000 to 30,000 people left in total, and these people were already old. Most of them died one after another in the last few years after the Seven Heroes Tomb was built, and then After the Seven Heroes Tomb was completed, there were only a few thousand people left.”

"Thousands of people in the place where I found you?"

"Yes." The Imperial Preceptor said, "I was ordered to go there with the general to execute the last workers, so that no one would know about the situation here. But..." At this point, the Imperial Preceptor's soul fire began to flash. It's endless, and it's obvious that there are great emotional fluctuations. "But...but what I didn't expect in the end was that the official who accompanied us turned out to be a dead soldier. He wanted to drink a celebratory drink with us on the pretext of completing the mission. Who knew he used poisoned wine, and in the end he even He himself was poisoned and died along with us."

"I see. So you guys died quite unjustly." When I said this, I suddenly changed the subject and asked, "But since you were killed by the monarch, why did you keep the secret here for him?"

"We don't have one!" Now not only the national master, but also the general skeleton just shouted together. After such a short time, his soul fire had already recovered, but because he was burned so badly, his reaction was a little slow. But what I just said made him think that I was going to punish them again, which frightened him and quickly denied it.

"No? Since you don't want to hide, why did you just trick me into the false entrance?"

"This...this..."

"What about this and that? Do you want to taste the burning of your soul again?"

"No, no." Upon hearing that I was going to use that soul to burn again, the two skeletons were immediately frightened and the soul fire was shaking wildly. "We are not helping the monarch hide the secrets here, we just want to use the treasures in the Tomb of Seven Heroes to resurrect him."

"Resurrection?" I suddenly became nervous when I heard the words of the two skeletons, not because the baby was too good, but because it was too bad. For people in real life, resurrection can be said to be a fantasy, but don't forget that this is a game. My wife Rose is a resurrection mage. Things like life and death, human flesh and white bones, are called supernatural events in reality, and they are commonplace here. If the things in the Tomb of Seven Heroes could only turn skeletons into living people, then their use value would be too low. "Are the things in the Qixiong Tomb used for resurrection?"

"No, no, no." Probably hearing my dissatisfaction, the two skeletons shook their heads quickly. The National Master Skull, who has a relatively strong soul, quickly explained: "Resurrection is only one of the functions. The things in the Tomb of Seven Heroes are very powerful. How can it only have the function of resurrection? In fact, the ability to resurrect the dead is not enough for that thing. It’s just the most basic ability.”

"That's more like it. If it can only resurrect the dead, wouldn't my work be in vain? Okay, now take me to see the Tomb of Seven Heroes."

"Okay, sir, please come with me."

The Qixiong Tomb is not actually hidden, or it is not hidden at all. Right in the center of the underground city ahead, there is a large hole with a diameter of more than thirty meters. At the entrance of the cave, there are two spiral staircases that resemble a double helix structure like DNA, spiraling around each other and extending to the bottom of the cave, but I have no intention of going down these stairs. You must know that it is something from the Qin Dynasty. It would be a miracle if it has not rotted away after so many years. It would be strange if I stood on it and it didn't collapse.

Flying directly from the center of the cave to the bottom of the cave, passing through a very wide arch and passing through a very thin stone wall, a huge underground space appeared in front of me again, and in this underground space there was actually a... one... a... I I don’t know what to call this building.

The first thing that can be determined is that this building is very large, and its area exceeds the scope of a small city.

The base of the building is square, with arrow tower-like things erected on its four corners. The empty space behind the arrow tower is the main body of the building. Its structure looks a bit like a Mayan pyramid, but not quite like it. Although the lower part of the building shrinks upward layer by layer like the Mayan pyramids, this structure only extends to half of the building, and then suddenly becomes a vertical upward extension, and finally expands outward at the top. It became something like a roof. Overall, this thing is like cutting off half of the Mayan pyramid and placing something like a castle tower on top. However, this building is not a wooden structure common in castle towers, but is entirely metal.

Although many people now regard the castle tower as a Japanese-style building, that thing is not actually native to Japan at all, but an authentic Chinese product. In fact, the castle tower was a very popular architectural style during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China. However, the domestic architectural style changed later, but the Japanese completely retained this architectural structure. In the end, many Chinese people Instead, I regarded this thing as a *** building.

I’m not surprised to say that the Seven Heroes Tomb uses the style of the castle tower. After all, the historical period is correct, but what about this all-metal structure? Although China could smelt bronze at that time, the thing in front of me was obviously not bronze. In fact, looking at the entire splendid building in front of me, I have always had a question in my mind-could this thing be pure gold?
