To be honest, it was due to luck that they could win this battle so easily. But after thinking about it, it was inevitable.
The strength of the four adventurers from before was extraordinary. Even though they had used sneak attacks, the Lich had expended a lot of effort to kill them all. For this, it had even sacrificed two of its powerful subordinates. Even the Lich had consumed a lot of its magic power. It didn't even have time to recover its protective spells.
Under such circumstances, the Lich would definitely lose if it encountered Palin and the others who were stronger than the four adventurers.
"I just don't understand, why didn't it run away?" Lafleur said doubtfully. "If it had run away from the beginning, even if the zombie couldn't run away, it should have been able to run away by itself, right?"
"Because it wants to kill us," Palin explained. "Almost all liches are filled with hatred for the living. When it found us, this hatred greatly hindered its judgment of the situation, especially Mr. Morton's divine incantation. Especially Mr. Morton's divine arts. Divine power is what it hates the most, so even though it knew that it was dangerous, it still decided to attack us. "
"Isn't it like a wild bull that saw a shaking cloth and immediately charged at it?" Lafleur muttered. "Its intelligence is worrying!"
"How much intelligence do you expect a skeleton to have?" Rhett sneered. "A really powerful wizard would never choose to become a Lich. They have plenty of ways to prolong their lives, and they don't need to use this method. Even if they wanted to turn themselves into an undead creature, they would not choose to become a skeleton... In short, this guy is second-rate. "
If the sealed Lich could hear his words, he would definitely fly into a rage. Any Lich was at least a senior wizard. If a senior wizard was second-rate, then what could be considered first-rate?
After cleaning up the battlefield, the bodies of the adventurers were put into the space bag along with their equipment. When Palin and the others returned to the town, they would look for the relatives and friends of the adventurers and hold a funeral for them.
If they were lucky, they might be able to be resurrected.
As for the rest of the things, they were naturally the spoils of war.
The remains of the fire elementals, the bodies of the earth magic beasts, and the parts of the Lich's body were all good spoils of war. The heavy armor worn by the zombie was also valuable. However, all of it needed to be cleaned and purified. Only after it was purified could it be appraised.
Other than that, the Lich also had some valuable equipment on him. Unfortunately, they were all contaminated by the negative energy and could not be used immediately.
"Our harvest this time isn't bad, why don't we head back now?" Reid suggested.
But this time, it was the silent Morton who objected. He was very determined to continue forward, find the lich's lair and destroy it.
There was nothing anyone could do when clergies were stubborn. Moreover, Devor also agreed with Morton. Palin and Lafleur, after some consideration, also voted in favor.
Four to one, Rhett could only grumble and grumble as he continued to move forward with the others.
After walking for another day, they finally found the lich's lair.
After passing through the secret magic door that Palin had discovered, everyone saw a huge underground space. Around a huge altar, a large number of corpses were piled up. The corpses were densely packed with all kinds of strange plants, and there were also many strange monsters roaming around. It was as if this place was a paradise.
After seeing this scene, Palin almost vomited. The others did not look good either. Morton was even more indignant. He felt as if his whole body was about to burst into flames.
"Evil!" He roared in a low voice. "We must purify it!"
No one would stop him at this time, so everyone worked together. With the help of a large amount of kerosene, they set up a huge formation. A fire ignited the entire altar along with the surrounding corpses, plants, and monsters.
The blazing flames lit up the dark underground space. The monsters howled and died in the flames. The altar was destroyed by the flames, and the corpses of those who died tragically were finally purified.
This fire burned for a day and a night. When it was finally extinguished, what was once the lich's lair had become a pile of ruins.
Palin and the others rummaged through the ruins for two days and found a lot of useful things. Perhaps there were still many things that had not been noticed. After they went back and reported, the soldiers of Rye Town would come here with the help of the priests of the temple. They would purify and clean up this place.
Maybe they could not clean it up, and later, other adventurers would come to try their luck. But all of this had nothing to do with Palin and the others.
In the cold wind high up in the sky, the huge jellyfish opened its eyes and revealed a playful smile.
Although the lich's evil methods were outrageous, its altar and the layout around it inspired Sui Xiong.
A large number of corpses should have produced a large amount of negative energy, but in fact, except for the altar, the negative energy in the rest of its lair was not very strong. Because the demonic plants absorbed the negative energy, and the monsters used them as food to further purify the negative energy.
After burning the ashes, Palin and the others found a lot of magic cores condensed with a large amount of negative energy.
They did not know whether the lich did it intentionally or unintentionally. Anyway, through this set of methods, it successfully achieved the collection and condensation of negative energy.
Sui Xiong had no interest in collecting and condensing negative energy to obtain this kind of magic core. But this set of methods gave him a lot of inspiration.
So he found Arcaian, who was working hard on his research, and talked with him in detail.
Arcaian was also a man who understood Sui Xiong's meaning immediately. After careful consideration, they felt that this method could be used as a reference, so they set up a test site.
The test site was an underground cave, where the mushrooms that could absorb negative energy grew well. Sui Xiong summoned some "herbivores" from the World of Souls and let them eat these mushrooms.
The monsters grew very fast with abundant food. When they multiplied to a certain extent, Sui Xiong released some "carnivores" into the cave.
At this time, the concentration of negative energy in the cave was very low, and it even affected the growth of the mushrooms. As a result, the monsters who lacked food began to die in large numbers, and the corpses piled up like a mountain.
Arcaian had to add mushrooms that could decompose corpses and avoid contamination. These mushrooms, in turn, became the food of the herbivores. In short, a small biosphere was created in the cave.
This biosphere used external negative energy as its basic source of energy, and it produced a large number of magic cores that condensed negative energy. The biggest advantage of this biosphere was that it could effectively consume negative energy and thus purify it.
Above the cave, the black soil gradually turned dark brown, and the plants that had been contaminated by negative energy also gradually became normal.
About three months later, the land was really purified, and there was no smell of death on it at all.
Of course, this was the result of using magic. If it was left to develop naturally, it might take several years or even more than ten years to achieve the goal.
"That's amazing!" Arcaian exclaimed, standing on the ground where he could not feel any negative energy at all. "I can't believe you can purify it in this way! I never thought that it could be done like this! "
Now, he was completely convinced by Sui Xiong. If the real world was a game, Sui Xiong's reputation with him would have been increased to "worship".
Of course, this method could not be considered perfect. For example, the monsters underground needed to be cleaned regularly, and the especially powerful ones had to be killed to prevent the breeding of more powerful monsters. If that happened, the city would be in danger.
But this danger could be controlled. The monsters that Sui Xiong chose were not the type with strong combat power. As long as they were cleaned regularly, there was no need to worry about raising a tiger.
"I suddenly thought of a game." Sui Xiong looked at the transparent model floating in the air, which was what they expected the city to look like. He suddenly thought of something and sighed. "There is a town on the ground, but after passing through the enchantment and tunnel, there is a huge evil labyrinth …"
Arcaian could not help but laugh. "It sounds so familiar. The legendary residence of the Evil Devil seems to be like this."
Sui Xiong was not sure whether the Evil Devil lived in such a place. But he had to think of a way to eliminate the negative effects of the labyrinth under his holy land.
Otherwise, in the future, if there was a rumor that "under the holy land of the Church of the Void Mask, there was actually a horrible crypt for cultivating evil monsters", wouldn't he really become the Evil Devil?
This was not difficult for him, because when he thought of the game, he had already thought of a way to solve the problem.
"I plan to launch a service in the holy land," he said. "I want to build a labyrinth under the ground and welcome people to explore it. Before exploring, I will bind a City Return Spell on them. When they encounter great danger during the exploration, the spell will automatically be activated and they will be sent back. "
"… That seems a little interesting."
"Not only that, I will also place some treasure chests in the labyrinth. Inside the treasure chests are potions, coins, scrolls, equipment … In short, I want the people exploring the labyrinth to feel that their hard work is worth it."
"Well, well …"
"In this way, I can publicize the 'Underground Adventure' tourism project, so that people who want to take risks but are afraid of danger can come here and experience the feeling of adventure and treasure hunting!"
Sui Xiong became more and more proud as he spoke, and inspiration erupted like a volcano. "And this place can also be used as a training base for young adventurers, cultivating a large number of talents for my church. At that time, I can also organize regular activities, such as' Go down 100 floors if you're a man ',' Golden Monster Hunt ',' Summer Special Equipment Collection '… I will set up special prizes for each of these activities, and I guarantee that they won't be able to stop! "
"I also want to open a top-up activity. Top-Up 100 gold coins, and you can communicate underground; top-up 1000 gold coins, and you can use remote storage; top-up 10,000 gold coins …"
Sui Xiong waved his tentacles, and his saliva flew everywhere. His eyes were full of golden light, and he even began to talk incoherently.
"… At that time, I will also set up a company, hire customer service staff, and a whole row of beautiful girls who can speak as softly as possible. In short, I will say one thing."
"If you don't top-up, how can you become stronger!"
