Chapter 343 Tomb Guard

“Found it. Lan Wu took a deep breath when he saw the monster in front of him, and raised his hand to create an energy whirlwind.

The wind was strong, and the violent energy tore the skeletons beside the monster violently, causing it to stagger and unable to continue to cast spells to summon skeletons. Taking this opportunity, Lan Wu quickly changed to the legendary sword, crossed the last few meters in one step, and completed the close combat. As usual, summoners are not good at close combat.

As expected. This monster had no power to fight back against Lan Wu who was clinging to him like sticky candy and slashing him fiercely. Every time he raised his shriveled... let's call it... As for the two hands, Lan Wu would be chopped down by a sword with his quick eyes and hands, causing it to lose its center of gravity. The spell was naturally interrupted.

But Lan Wu did not gain much advantage.

In close combat with the mage, Lan Wu can be said to have taken advantage. But the legendary sword chopped on the monster, but it made a puffing sound like chopping on hard cowhide, leaving only a series of clearly visible white marks and failing to cause greater damage.

At this time, Leah also floated above. She saw the monster being forced to retreat step by step by Lan Wu, and she couldn't help but open her eyes wide and hurriedly shouted: "Heart, that's its energy core."

Suddenly hearing Leah's reminder again, Lan Wu raised his foot without thinking and kicked the monster back half a step, then held the hilt of the sword with both hands and sent the legendary sword into its heart.

"So easy? "Lan Wu was shocked. The touch from the tip of the sword was quite strange, like a knife stuck in cheese, and it easily penetrated the heart of the monster without any hindrance.

As Leah pointed out, the monster let out a hoarse roar and fell down stiffly like a log. The moment it fell, the skeletons that were about to surround it seemed to have been drained of all the magic power to maintain their bodies, and they all turned into broken bones and fell to the ground.

In just a short moment, in Lan Wu's stunned eyes, the originally terrifying sea of ​​skeletons disappeared without a trace. Everywhere he could see was a thick layer of white bones. The corridor suddenly became quiet. A moment later, there was another light clicking sound in the distance ahead, and a large number of skeletons were still moving towards this side.

"Go, I know the secret here. "Liya floated to Lan Wu's side and urged him anxiously.

Lan Wu also knew that now was not the time to get to the bottom of the matter, so he immediately put away the legendary sword, replaced it with a staff and teleported away. He did not stop until he retreated to the bottom of the cave, and then he quickly replenished his life and mana, while looking at Leah who was floating beside him.

"That is a tomb guard, a guardian transformed by a unique ritual of the Zakarum Church. If I am not mistaken, this tomb was built by the prime minister of Tristram at the time... Archbishop Lazarus, who was deeply trusted by King Leoric. He has been eroded by the magic of the demon god Diablo and transformed into a demon. "Leah looked back painfully at the dark corridor.

She and her uncle were the last descendants of the Horadrim. Following the ancient teachings, they lived in seclusion in Tristram and were responsible for guarding the demon god Diablo who was sealed here by the Horadrim. But no one thought that Lazarus, the archbishop who was deeply trusted by Leoric, was actually responsible for a secret mission of the church.

Release Diablo who was imprisoned deep underground in the Horadrim Cathedral.

When she and her uncle Cain learned the truth, Diablo's magic had taken over King Leoric's body, turning the wise king into a cruel monarch, and eventually leading to the destruction of Tristram. And in that catastrophe, she and Cain witnessed Archbishop Lazarus die at the hands of Diablo who had gained freedom.

When the demon army left the destroyed Tristram, the two of them took with them... Many survivors collected the remains of the dead. It was she and Cain who personally buried the remains of the archbishop in the cemetery above. Unexpectedly, the archbishop had already been transformed into a demon at that time, and finally built this underground tomb full of ominous magic after waking up from a long sleep.

Now that she knew the owner of the tomb, Leah quickly put away her sadness. Lazarus, as an archbishop and the former prime minister of Tristram, would definitely take the crown that symbolizes royal power after his resurrection. In other words, the crown is in the tomb.

According to the architectural style of the Zakarum Church at that time, Leah quickly found another entrance. Lan Wu was shocked to see that she just pressed a certain place on the rock wall under the cave entrance, and there was an extra road in front of her, which was originally only a corridor.

"Hurry up, this is the consistent style of the Zakarum Church. Going down from here will lead directly to the crown. "Liya, contrary to her usual behavior, floated ahead first.

Lan Wu had no choice. Not to mention that he trusted Liya, his personal secretary, very much. The terrifying sea of ​​skeletons on the other road made him choose this new road without hesitation.

This passage is not much different from the corridor just now, and it goes straight forward all the way. The only difference is that there is no trace of living things here. Only Lan Wu's footsteps echoed faintly in the passage.

"Is this the way to the underground?" Lan Wu walked a few hundred meters and keenly noticed the very hidden lowering of the terrain. He raised his head hesitantly and asked.

"This is also the burial style of the Zakarum Church. At that time, the church was used to build two-story tombs. The upper layer was used to paralyze tomb robbers. There were a few treasures in the tombs on this layer. When tomb robbers found these treasures, they would only think that this was all the treasure. In fact, the lower layer is where the real treasure is. If I am not mistaken, Lazarus must have brought the crown there after his resurrection." Liya explained with certainty.

Lan Wu did not comment. This was just Leah's guess. The specific situation depends on what will be at the end of the passage. According to convention, there may be another battle. It is best to prepare in advance.

The passage is very long. Lan Wu estimated that it is nearly two kilometers. After about half an hour, there was a light in front of him. He was refreshed and immediately quickened his pace. At the same time, he took out a bottle of physical potion from the space bag and was ready to pour it into his mouth at any time.

Soon Lan Wu rushed to the exit. When he saw the situation on this floor, he couldn't help but gasp. There are ghosts everywhere. Thousands of ghosts wandered aimlessly around this wide tomb. In the middle of the tomb, a huge mass of meat kept wriggling like a living thing, looking very disgusting.

"Yes, this is the tomb of Archbishop Lazarus." Leah floated above the tomb, looked around the tomb of about one thousand square meters and gave a positive answer.

Lan Wu rolled his eyes in frustration. Well, the destination was found, but how to deal with these monsters. There were thousands of ghosts, not to mention that disgusting meat mass. He had no choice but to pick up his staff and carefully clean up from the outside.

Fortunately, ghosts were weak in magic resistance.
