Chapter 75 Pale Forbidden Zone
Turn yourself into a terracotta warrior? Is this forbidden spell mage so cruel to himself?
Zhao Gao and Li Shi couldn't help thinking.
"Then captain, are we going to find other places where terracotta warriors are buried?"
Tan Hu shook his head and said.
"According to the records in the ancient books, after this forbidden spell mage turned himself into a terracotta warrior, the ancient king buried him in a place outside the ancient capital and built a tomb for him that matched his status to express his respect for this forbidden spell mage."
"Respect?"
"That's right! Because when the ancient king died, this forbidden spell mage would accompany the ancient king to fight in the underworld again, and the terracotta warrior he turned into was the ancient king's favorite terracotta warrior. The ancient king thought that this practice was the finishing touch."
Horrible! Too horrible! Zhao Gao and Li Shi felt that the ancient king of that era was not a normal person at all.
After almost an hour, the three finally arrived at the place mentioned in the ancient book.
This place was surrounded by pale trees and even the soil was pale, except for the yellowish earth where they were standing. They had come here smoothly along the way and had not encountered any powerful undead.
"The tomb is right below us, but we have to go down from the side."
"Why, captain, can't we just go down directly?"
Tan Hu showed Zhao Gao and Li Shi the picture in the ancient book. This was a design drawing of the tomb. If they went down from this position, they would be greeted by the guardian of the tomb.
"Go down from the edge of the yellowish earth area, and there should be a passage to the tomb below."
Tan Hu said in accordance with the picture in the ancient book.
This yellowish earth area was neither big nor small, about 600 square meters, but according to the records in the ancient book, the size of the tomb below was estimated to be larger than the central arena of the ancient capital.
The three of them soon came to the edge of the yellowish earth area. Tan Hu put his hands on the ground, closed his eyes and activated his natural talent.
Tan Hu's natural talent is to enhance the control of earth elements. It is not very strong, but it is enough for tomb robbing. Soon a small hole appeared on the ground, and the three people could feel a breath coming out of the small hole.
"Ugh~, such a smell, so strong."
Zhao Gao was a little bit overwhelmed by the smell, and kept retching beside him. Tan Hu opened his eyes at this time, and some sweat flowed down his forehead.
"It's about a thousand meters deep, depending on your Li Shi."
Li Shi nodded, walked to the small hole, and then connected its star.
Li Shi is a beginner wind mage. He used beginner magic to send a gust of wind from the small hole.
Li Shi's natural talent is to be able to perceive the surrounding environment through the wind, but the premise is that this wind must be generated by his magic. There is no upper limit on the distance. The farther the place is, the more vague the perception is, but a thousand meters can still barely confirm the surrounding environment.
"The passage is about 6 meters in diameter and 3 meters high. I didn't sense the existence of anything else."
Li Shi sat on the ground, panting continuously. Obviously, using his natural talent for a while consumed a lot of his physical strength.
Tan Hu patted Li Shi on the shoulder.
"Okay, take out the device. We'll need some time at this depth."
Li Shi and Zhao Gao took out several metal objects from their large bags, and then assembled a device similar to an excavator at the small hole.
This is a special tool used for tomb robbers. If the outer layer of the tomb is damaged to a greater extent, it will trigger some dangerous magic circles, so this tool can be used to avoid triggering. It can open a hole of a size suitable for a person to lie in, and emit a wave of confusing and warning magic circles.
Of course, this thing is not cheap. The one in Tan Hu's hands costs 150 million. This is something that can only be bought with the money Tan Hu earned before plus a loan. For some large tombs, it is impossible to do without this thing.
Tan Hu took out a crystal column from his shirt pocket, and then installed it in the card slot on the device and covered it.
This crystal column is the key prop used to confuse and warn the magic circle, and it requires a psychic mage to make it.
"Captain, this quality crystal column must have cost a lot of money."
Zhao Gao asked quietly beside him.
Tan Hu raised three fingers after hearing this, while Zhao Gao and Li Shi took a cold breath after seeing this. With so much money, if this order didn't yield any results, the three of them would have nothing to lose next.
After starting the device, the soil near the small hole was slowly sucked up and then fell to the side. At this time, Tan Hu and others also began to be alert to the surrounding undead, because the signal fluctuations emitted by such devices in the wild are easy to attract demons.
But after a few minutes, although undead appeared in the periphery, none of them stepped into the pale woods, as if this was a forbidden area for undead.
"Captain, I feel this place is so weird, why don't we go."
Zhao Gao said to Tan Hu a little scared. They had been out there doing it several times and never once like this. Even if the undead were attracted by the signal, they would not approach here at all.
Li Shi also nodded and agreed with Zhao Gao's opinion, but how could Tan Hu, who had been confused by the treasures left in the ancient tomb, listen to Zhao Gao's opinion? Besides, he spent a lot of money to get that crystal column.
Tan Hu looked back at the device that was digging the tunnel. It would take about ten minutes for the tunnel to be dug.
"What are you afraid of? We work hard in this business. Haven't you gotten a lot of benefits in the past few times?"
In the past few tomb raids, although they did not rob big ancient tombs, they still got a lot of benefits. And with the high-level mage Tan Hu, they could easily get through the general dangers, not to mention that Tan Hu's tomb-robbing skills were very superb.
The two gritted their teeth and made up their minds to stop after this job.
Ten minutes later, the device stopped working, and a beam of light shot out from the hole in the center below and shot along the warning magic circle. After a while, the red light on the device turned green.
Tan Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead when he saw this scene. He knew that the warning magic circle of the forbidden spell mage's tomb would be very strong, but after such a long time, no matter how strong the magic circle was, it would gradually weaken under the erosion of time. Sure enough, the situation was as he thought. This crystal column was already the best quality he could find on the market. If this didn't work, he would have to go home.
"Okay, put some things you need in as usual. I'll go first, Zhao Gao in the middle, Li Shi at the end, Zhao Gao, it's up to you later."
"Okay!"
The three put the necessary equipment into the tunnel and let it slide in through the tunnel.
Tan Hu put his hands on their shoulders.
"Brothers, believe me, we will definitely make a fortune this time!"
Zhao Gao and Li Shi looked at the crazy look in Tan Hu's eyes. They knew they could only follow his instructions at this time, otherwise Tan Hu might kill them directly, even though the three of them grew up together.
But the day they went to pick up Tan Hu from the army, Tan Hu made them feel very strange.
I want some recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, woohoo (┯_┯)
