Lin Li's face turned pale the moment the Fury of the Natural Disaster erupted …
Yes, he knew that it was a trap, but he had never thought that it would be so powerful. Bloody hell, the Fury of the Natural Disaster was as high as level-18. Even if he had stayed in the Shadowglen for seven days, even if he knew the Necromancer Sendros of a strange level, even if he had been mistaken for the Immortal King, he would never have thought that he would face such a terrifying Necromagic one day …
The effect of the Magic Suppression Spell only lasted for a second before it was swallowed up by the spreading darkness.
But this second was extremely precious to Lin Li.
A second was neither long nor short, but it was just enough for Lin Li to release a trace of mana and activate the Brand of Dusk on his finger.
Amidst the darkness, an elemental passage appeared out of thin air. In an instant, the entire world suddenly quieted down. The restless death aura was like a stone sinking into the sea. It didn't even have the chance to cause a ripple before it disappeared without a trace.
All of this happened too quickly, so quickly that no one could react at all.
For Gerian and Ysera, it was like a dream. Everything ended in an instant before it could even start. They saw the black light of the Wrath of the Natural Disaster explode and then disappear abruptly. It was so fast that it was like an illusion.
"Gone … Gone?" Gerian stared at the stone door with his mouth agape. His fat face was filled with disbelief.
"Gone … Gone …"
"That's it?"
"…" Lin Li almost fell to the ground. He thought, That's it? Damn it, if I hadn't released the Magic Suppression Spell earlier, the whole mine would have been destroyed by the Fury of the Natural Disaster. That's it? How could that damn fatty Gerian say that …
Just as the two of them were talking, the tightly shut stone door suddenly let out a light sound.
"Cha cha cha cha cha …" Amidst the incessant soft sounds, the stone door was already trembling slightly. Sand and dirt continuously fell from the tunnel that had just been dug. After which, the three of them were pleasantly surprised to discover that the tightly shut stone door was already slowly opening up …
There was endless darkness on the other side of the stone door. Lin Li stood under the dim light and rubbed his eyes several times, but he could barely make out some outlines. There seemed to be a long and narrow passageway in front of him, and it looked bottomless from afar. Standing outside the stone door, Lin Li felt as if he was looking at a monster with its mouth wide open. The ground was covered with thick slabs of stone. Perhaps because of the long history, the slabs were covered with thick moss. It felt cold and slippery to touch, just like touching the body of a python.
When the stone door was opened, a strong rotting stench permeated from the passageway. The stench was the same as that of the skeletons in the Shadowglen. It was thick and thick, as if it had solidified. Perhaps it was because the stone door was open, the whistling cold wind blew past their ears from time to time. In this gloomy environment, it made the atmosphere even more terrifying.
Ysera swallowed his saliva with difficulty and asked softly, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
"Nonsense, the door is already open. Do you want to go back in? I say, Ysera, when did you become so timid? " Before Lin Li could say anything, Gerian, who was next to him, had already come over. His chubby face was full of excitement, as if this was not a gloomy cave, but a naked beauty.
"Be careful." Lin Li could not help but feel a headache when he saw the eager Gerian. This guy was really restless. His mana had already collapsed, but he still rushed to the front like before. Damn it, how could he rush to a place like this? Just two traps would be enough to throw your fat body into the fire …
"Don't worry …" Gerian did not care about the danger at all. The middle-aged fatty waved his hand casually and was about to walk into the passageway. Who knew that the smile on his face froze the moment he stepped one foot in.
"Crack …"
It was a very normal sound, but in this gloomy environment, it made everyone's nerves tense.
"What's wrong?" Lin Li asked nervously while holding the Aether Staff tightly. He was waiting for the situation to go wrong so that he could immediately cast magic to save Gerian.
"No … Nothing." Gerian forced a smile, but under the dim light, the smile looked uglier than crying. "But … I … I seem to have stepped on something …"
"Ah?"
Lin Li hurriedly recited a spell and released another Illuminating Spell.
Under the dazzling white light, Lin Li finally saw everything clearly. For a moment, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not know if Gerian was too unlucky, but he had stepped on a skeleton the moment he stepped in. Come to think of it, the surroundings were dark and gloomy, and the cold wind blew from time to time. Stepping on a skeleton at this time, no matter how courageous one was, he would not be able to avoid being shocked …
"This …" Lin Li rubbed his nose, and explained sheepishly, "I forgot to tell you just now, but the Song of Death mageweath is maintained by the Death Energy. What you're stepping on now is most likely the mana source of the Song of Death mageweath …"
"Damn it, I was almost scared to death …"
"Let me lead the way …" Lin Li maintained the Illuminating Spell as he led the two deeper into the tunnel.
This tunnel was really frighteningly long …
The three of them walked carefully, but they still could not see the end even after walking for almost 10 minutes.
When Lin Li started to yawn, the three of them finally saw a faint green light in front of them. Looking from afar, the light was like the phosphorescence in a graveyard. The green light floated around with a creepy aura that made one's hair stand on end …
But at this time, the three of them could not care so much. Not to mention the phosphorescence in a cemetery, even if it was a cemetery, they would not hesitate to pounce on it.
As the three of them got closer, the phosphorescence became brighter and brighter.
When Lin Li finally saw that spot of light clearly, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air …
"F * ck me …" It was a Gem of Curse.
Legend had it that the Gem of Curse was only found in small quantities in the rare Mithril of Heaven's Wrath. Just one the size of a finger was enough to allow a Necromancer to summon an army of thousands. Even in the Endless World, Lin Li had only seen its name in various books. Under normal circumstances, this name was associated with a certain terrifying legend. For example, a certain Necromancer could use a Gem of Curse to summon an army of undead creatures and massacre a certain race. Or an ambitious Lich could embed a Gem of Curse on his phylactery to make himself extremely powerful. If the warriors could not stop him in time, he would use this unparalleled power to destroy the world, and so on …
There were many legends about the Gem of Curse, but the only thing they had in common was that they were all equally terrifying …
That's right, the power of the Gem of Curse could only be described as terrifying.
"This is getting out of hand …" Lin Li swallowed hard as he stared at the Gem of Curse. Even his breathing quickened.
It could not be helped. This Gem of Curse was too big. It was so big that it was unbelievable.
If the Dragon's Eye on the Aether Staff was a wonder, then the Gem of Curse before him could only be described as a miracle …
The fist-sized Gem of Curse floated there quietly, emitting a faint green glow. The surging Death Energy was even stronger than the one in the Shadowglen when the Undead were fighting. Lin Li stood there, his hand reaching out subconsciously. This was truly a priceless treasure. Especially in the hands of a five-element Guru, it could very well become a piece of quasi-divine magical equipment …
But, just as his hand reached out halfway, Lin Li gritted his teeth and retracted his hand.
"Something's not right!" Just as the Gem of Curse was about to fall into his hand, Lin Li suddenly realized that something was wrong. This Gem of Curse's appearance was too strange. It floated quietly in the air without any protection or support. It was as if it had appeared out of thin air. This was too abnormal …
Under normal circumstances, abnormal meant that there was a problem.
"What's wrong?" Gerian saw everything, and could not help but look puzzled. He did not know how precious the Gem of Curse was, but he knew that the kid in front of him was not an ordinary person. Something that could make him drool must be very precious.
Therefore, Gerian was really curious about the reason that made this kid give up on the treasure that was about to fall into his hands.
"It's nothing …" However, Lin Li was not in the mood to explain. He only shook his head and shifted his gaze elsewhere. "Let's take a look first."
It was only then that Lin Li finally saw clearly that it was an empty stone chamber with two exits. One was the long and narrow passageway, and the other was on the opposite side of the passageway. From afar, it looked like a stone door with a slit open, and in the middle of the stone chamber, there was a faint green light …
"F * ck, so that's what's going on …" Lin Li looked at the green light and suddenly understood. No wonder he felt that the Gem of Curse was not normal. It was all because of this green light. He did not pay attention to it at first, and thought that it was a reflection from the Gem of Curse. He did not expect it to be another mageweath.
