Carnage fell heavily, and the level 32 Skeleton Archer didn't even have time to retaliate before it turned into a pile of white bone fragments.
Anderfa, Reina, and Lin Yun looked like they were fighting over monsters. Over thirty Elite Skeleton Warriors with an average of level 28 or 29, as well as a dozen Skeleton Archer with the lowest being level 28, and a level 32 Skeleton Archer were being crushed by Lin Yun's group. Without the Elite Skeleton Warriors to block them, every Skeleton Archer was hit by a dozen spells every second.
In just five seconds, the battle was over …
But whether it was Anderfa or Lin Yun, they didn't look happy because the battle was over.
That was because they were able to see a trace of an omen in this battle.
"Merlin, don't you feel that this group of Undeads is waiting to ambush us?"
Lin Yun nodded, but his expression wasn't too good.
"You also feel it?"
In fact, Lin Yun had already felt it. Xiuban had been ambushed by a Bone Arrow the moment he appeared. Those Elite Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Archers had even set up a formation, seemingly ready to attack at any time.
Lin Yun had been using Detect Undead every once in a while, but he had only walked three hundred meters before he could cast the next Detect Undead spell. He was suddenly attacked, and it just so happened that he was stuck at the limit of Detect Undead's range.
Skeleton Archers were very easy to handle, but if they were ambushed, even a 5th Rank Archmage would be killed in one hit by a Skeleton Divine Archer with special abilities.
When suddenly attacked, a mage's fastest defensive method would be to cast Mana Defense or Mana Shield. However, in front of the Skeleton Sharpshooter's magic arrows, Mana Shields and Mana Shields were no different from pieces of paper. Without any protection, the Skeleton Sharpshooter's full-power attack could rival a Sword Saint's. It would be a miracle if a mage didn't die.
However, if it was a deliberate ambush, then who was behind all this?
Everyone had these doubts as they walked through the maze-like corridor. At the end, Lin Yun casually cracked an alchemy door. This time, Lin Yun was even more careful than before. He first summoned a Rock Puppet, and after confirming that there was no danger, he led everyone in.
"Hey, there's a short-distance teleportation array here …" Anderfa's voice came from the front.
"Let me see." Lin Yun inspected the Teleportation Array and found that it was in good condition. However, in order to be safe, Lin Yun summoned another Rock Puppet to test it out.
With a flash of light from the transmission array, the Rock Puppet instantly disappeared. After ten seconds, Lin Yun confirmed that the connection with the Rock Puppet hadn't been severed. Then, he took the lead and entered the transmission array.
The light disappeared, and the group reached a new floor. The space here was even bigger, and the corridor was even wider. There was even a calmly burning oil lamp on both sides of the path.
Through the faint sweet smell, Lin Yun immediately understood that it was the burning oil of Deep Sea Merfolk.
Deep Sea Merfolk's oil was a very precious thing even in the Nesser Dynasty. Every drop of pure Deep Sea Merfolk's oil could burn for over a millennium. In the tombs of the Pureblood Elves, the lamps would inevitably use this thing as fuel. As for ordinary nobles, they could only use the oil of ordinary Deep Sea Merfolk as fuel.
There wasn't much Deep Sea Merfolk's oil left in the lamps on both sides of the path. Lin Yun speculated that the oil lamps here had been burning for a few dozen millennia.
After taking some Deep Sea Merfolk's oil, Lin Yun cautiously warned everyone, "Everyone, be careful.
"Everyone, be careful. Those who can move around on this floor are at least official members of the Intrepid's crew."
Official crew members of the Intrepid, even if they were ordinary sailors, would at least be 5th Rank Expert Swordsmen.
Everyone had solemn expressions. Lin Yun had already said that the space here was very strange. If they used the structure of an ordinary ship as a reference, it would be very unsightly.
Below, they could still use the blueprints to find the fastest path. The location of each short-distance teleportation array was also fixed.
But this floor was already considered the upper floor of the Intrepid. The location of the short-distance teleportation array wasn't fixed, but rather a mobile Teleportation Gate.
Every once in a while, the location of the Teleportation Gate and the activation incantation would change. Although there was a pattern, no one knew how long it had been, so they couldn't be sure. They could only use the blueprints to determine a general range.
This meant that there were at least a dozen rooms on this floor that needed to be opened!
An even denser aura of death filled the air, and the accuracy of the Undead Detection was greatly reduced.
The group's speed suddenly slowed down.
After entering the first room that might have a Teleportation Gate, they met a Level 30 Dark Warrior. Just like the 2nd Mate, he had been a Beastman Berserker. Unfortunately, the gap was too great and he was eliminated in less than a minute.
Apart from a Low Level Spiritual Magic Tool double-handed heavy sword, there was nothing else of value.
They then opened the second room that might have a Teleportation Gate, but it was empty, there was nothing there.
…
As they pushed forward, they reached the end of the floor and reached the 10th room that might have a Legendary Gate. An ear-piercing shriek echoed in everyone's ears when the gate was cracked.
They had been on guard against the Undead, but they hadn't expected that it wasn't a Skeleton or a Zombie, but a Specter Undead.
Xiuban, who bore the brunt of the attack, had a vacant expression. Anderfa also let out a blood-curdling scream, and his three faces swayed before turning into smoke and returning to the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel.
Reina's expression kept changing, sometimes in pain, sometimes in anger …
Lin Yun paled, and his soul seemed to be shivering. His consciousness became fuzzy for a short period of time, and the scene before his eyes changed to that of the arrival of the apocalypse.
Endless lightning and flames fell down, and the blood-red sky seemed to collapse.
Lin Yun looked at this scene that could be said to be the most profound in his memories, but his expression didn't change. He didn't even move as he cast ten Spirit Defences on himself.
At the same time, he quickly chanted a short incantation, and the surging pure mana transformed into a shockwave spreading in the surroundings.
The most pure and simple mana shockwave made the scene before his eyes shatter like a mirror.
The scene before his eyes instantly returned to the door of this room. Xiuban was foolishly standing in front of him, and Carnage had already fallen to the ground.
A dozen Specters with translucent bodies floating in the air, with only eyes and mouths and no limbs, were sent flying by Lin Yun's mana shockwave.
At the same time, there was a pitch-black tentacle that was half a meter thick, completely ignoring Lin Yun's pure mana shockwave as it whipped over!
Seeing that tentacle, cold sweat trickled down Lin Yun's back.
The dense death energy was full of malicious aura, the black smoke, and the mana loss.
How could Lin Yun not know? It was definitely that monster!
He raised his Draconic Staff and cast three Flame Spears in a row. The red-hot, three-meter-long spears hit the front, middle, and back of the tentacle. One of the Flame Spears even nailed the middle of the tentacle to the ground.
Taking advantage of this short period of time, Lin Yun had a cold expression. He didn't even use a defensive spell as he hurriedly chanted a few incantations, and a five-meter-tall Fire God Spear covered in runes appeared out of nowhere. It was as exquisite as a work of art.
The Fire God Spear pierced the front of the tentacle and forcibly pierced through it!
The burning golden flames turned the tentacle into black smoke.
The black smoke didn't have time to condense once again when Lin Yun threw five more Bursting Fireballs, and the exploding Fireballs turned into a large area of flames.
The black smoke quickly retreated and escaped through a crack in the corner.
Three Spirit Defenses were cast on Reina's body, and the struggling Reina woke up.
A 1st Rank Fireball was thrown at Xiuban's body, and the burning pain immediately made the absent-minded Xiuban wake up. The effect of that pain was far more effective than Spirit Defense.
On the other side, the puppet had already released a large number of fire spells.
Smoke surged out of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel as it fell to the ground. Enderfa once again condensed three faces and fiercely cursed.
"Damnit, how could there be a dozen Shrieking Ghosts here!? He was actually ambushed by a Shrieking Ghost! "
A large number of fire spells were like a volcanic eruption pouring into the room in torrents.
The Shrieking Ghost was submerged by the fire spells and let out blood-curdling screams, but it didn't die for a while.
Shrieking Ghost, a High Level Ghost.
This Shrieking Ghost was level 32 and was completely immune to physical attacks. It was even immune to most magic attacks, and only fire spells could cause some damage.
The best way to eliminate Shrieking Ghosts was through Holy Light Spells. Even a simple Holy Light Healing Spell would cause huge damage to the Shrieking Ghost.
This kind of thing didn't have any direct fighting power, it only had one skill, Soul Wail. But that skill was extremely powerful. Without a large number of Spirit Defenses prepared in advance, a Level 30 Shrieking Ghost could even make a 9th Rank Archmage's soul shiver for a second!
One second could sometimes decide life and death.
Just like earlier, if Lin Yun had already fused with the Core Meditation Law Set and was full of confidence, even a dozen Shrieking Ghosts wouldn't have been able to raise any negative emotions towards Lin Yun.
If Lin Yun had reacted a bit slower, he would have been bound by those tentacles and would have been in trouble.
Soul Wail would cause a large number of illusions to attack the mind and evoke negative emotions. And these negative emotions were the key to the effect of Soul Wail.
