While invisible, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi whispered to each other through the team channel.
"Xiaowen, this Prince Richard has the same goal as us. We can sneak into the mausoleum when the seal is opened," Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen smiled bitterly and said, "If possible, I don't want this guy to interfere with my plans. If it weren't for him and Galantis, we would only need to deal with a group of nuns and the two leaders, Melda and Granny. Not only would we gain benefits from killing the leaders, we wouldn't have to be so sneaky. "
Li Shuyi nodded. "Richard is the Fourth Prince of the Lionheart Empire. It is indeed unexpected that he would lead an army here, but it can't be helped."
"No, this guy is probably not the real Prince Richard." Bai Xiaowen then told Li Shuyi the information he had obtained from Insight. The target was in disguise.
"This is a fake? Then who is he? "Li Shuyi was slightly surprised. He then suggested," Let's expose him. "
"No, this guy can fool Gloria. This means that he must have proof that he is the Fourth Prince of the Lionheart Empire. We are on opposing sides. The people from the Mystic Sect and Galantis hate me to the core. No one will believe what they say. Instead, they will be blamed by the fake prince. "
Bai Xiaowen thought carefully and added, "But it's not like we don't have a chance. This fake prince looks very strange. He seems to have a special interest in the things sealed in the Mystic Sect. We don't have to expose him. When we enter the mausoleum, his true identity will be exposed, and there will be a fierce conflict between the three sides! We will sneak in first and wait for the right time to jump out and clean up the mess. "
Li Shuyi was very excited. He smiled and said, "The aftermath of a group of BOSS battles! I'm looking forward to it. "
The Dean of Merda led a group of leader-level powerhouses out of the courtyard and towards the back of the mountain.
At the back of the monastery, there was a tall tower in the shape of a tombstone. Although it was called a tower, the ground part was actually more of a sculpture, like a long lightning rod pointing to the sky. The real building was hidden underground.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi only dared to follow from afar. From afar, they saw that Dean Merda was kneeling on the ground, seemingly praying for some time.
At the top of the spire, a soft white light flickered and turned into a circle of light. It slowly moved down and finally landed at the base of the spire.
In an instant, the entire ground was glowing. The snow around the base of the steeple was blown away by an invisible force, revealing the dark green rock ground.
Then, the spire began to rotate. After a slow rotation, the small door at the base of the spire opened, and a deep, downward spiral staircase appeared.
"This is the entrance to the mausoleum. Go in! May the Lord forgive my mistake. " The Dean of Merda said, "I have only unlocked the outer seal of the mausoleum. The inner seal will only be unlocked after we enter and someone will help me guard the 'Light Pass'."
Prince Richard called two guards and ordered them to stand guard at the entrance. Then, the group of leaders entered in a single file.
Bai Xiaowen used [Insight] on the guard standing guard.
[Francis Botom (Elite Level 8)/Solemn Honor]
[Race: Humanoid/Human]
[Class: Royal Halberd Guard]
[Attributes: STR 39, DEX 31, CON 40, WIL 22]
[Skill 1: Solemn Honor: For every Royal Halberd Guard ally (including yourself), Health Points are increased by 10%. Maximum Health Points are increased by 100%.]
[Skill 2: Assist: Omitted]
[Skill 3: Halberd Thrust: With a speed equivalent to double Dexterity, the halberd is thrust out at an extremely fast speed. If the target's armor value is lower than the attacker's total attack power, the halberd will pierce through the target and inflict additional damage with a bleeding effect. Enemies who are pierced by two or more halberd thrusts at the same time will be subjected to an additional imprisonment effect.]
[Skill 4: Lionheart Royal Dignity LV2: Health Points are increased by 200 points.]
"The Royal Halberd Guard … Their attributes are more balanced. Other than slightly lower Spirit, their Strength, Dexterity, and Physique are similar. These elite creatures mainly rely on numbers. Once more than 10 Royal Halberd Guards form an encirclement, even a leader would find it difficult to escape unscathed. "
Bai Xiaowen analyzed and concluded, "There are only two Royal Halberd Guards in front of us. The threat doesn't exist. Let's act as fast as possible and kill them within the control time! So that they don't have any warning methods. "
Li Shuyi nodded. She quietly circled to the side of the two Royal Halberd Guards and approached the melee range.
Bai Xiaowen flicked her fingers. Three, two, one. When there was only one finger left, the Deterrence skill was activated!
Li Shuyi came out of stealth mode and stepped forward to attack. She stabbed one of the Royal Halberd Guards with her sword! The Royal Halberd Guard, who was in the Fear state, didn't even have the time to dodge. He was stabbed in the vitals and blood spurted out.
Due to some concerns, Bai Xiaowen didn't summon her new creature, the Soul Sucking Banshee Delifa. Instead, she sent out four Skeleton Swordsmen. They descended from the sky together with the Butcher and launched a fierce attack on the injured Royal Halberd Guard.
Although the Royal Halberd Guard had 720 Health Points, his armor was reduced sharply and his Health Points fell like an avalanche. The Skeleton Swordsmen's combined Shield Bash made it impossible for him to make any warning movements.
In just three seconds, the first Royal Halberd Guard fell to the ground. At this time, the other Royal Halberd Guard had yet to recover from the Fear state!
Bai Xiaowen flicked her wrist and switched charms — the Charm of Bewitchment was thrown out. The second wave of attack began.
The Royal Halberd Guard was stunned from the Fear state. Under the combined attacks of Li Shuyi and the summoned creatures, his Health Points were quickly depleted and he fell to the ground.
A silver treasure chest condensed above the second Royal Halberd Guard's corpse.
Opening the treasure chest, Li Shuyi drew a blue weapon, the Royal Halberd Guard. The attack power of this equipment was quite impressive. Moreover, it was bound after equipping, so it had a certain trade value.
The two of them didn't have time to appreciate the blue halberd. They casually put it away in their storage space and rushed down the spiral staircase of the mausoleum.
After rushing out of the staircase, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi exclaimed in surprise and shuddered at the same time!
The Spiritual Realm's rules prompted them.
"You've arrived at the first underground floor of the mausoleum. You've been affected by the lingering Yin energy effect. The recovery speed of your Health Points, Mental Power, and Stamina has greatly decreased. "
"Lingering Yin energy …"
Bai Xiaowen recalled. "This feeling is very familiar. In the treasure space of the Dead Soul Lake, there was a similar lingering Yin energy area. I didn't expect the mausoleum to be the same. It seems that a considerable part of the difficulty of the mausoleum comes from the harsh environment. "
"However, last time at the Dead Soul Lake, your undead summoned creatures didn't seem to be affected by the lingering Yin energy effect," Li Shuyi reminded him.
Bai Xiaowen nodded and summoned the Butcher again.
The Butcher had activated Decay for a few seconds during the battle, so his Health Points hadn't recovered to full yet. Now, under the influence of the Yin energy, his Health Points were recovering at an accelerated rate. A hint of a "smile" appeared on his ignorant and ugly face, and he even snorted like a carnivorous animal.
"Yes, that's right. Except for the Wrath Claw, all my other summoned creatures should be affected by the positive effects of the Yin energy. This is a huge advantage, "Bai Xiaowen said.
"This is your home ground," Li Shuyi said with a smile. "I'll try my best to avoid unnecessary battles."
"That's right. Maintain your Stamina and wait for the crucial battle."
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and summoned four Skeleton Swordsmen, Shadow Assassins, Skeleton Warriors, and Kitts. He thought for a moment and summoned the Undead Demon Arcane Master.
In a place like this, the Undead Demon Arcane Master didn't have to worry about the lack of Mental Power. He could use Lightning Strike as soon as the cooldown was over. It was a cannon with unlimited firepower, and the best thing was that it had the special effect of breaking evil.
Although there was a certain advantage, Bai Xiaowen wasn't blindly optimistic. He had already discovered that the structure of the first underground floor of the mausoleum was somewhat complicated. For example, they had just walked down the stairs and arrived at this square underground mausoleum. There were actually doors on the opposite side and on the left and right sides of the walls. It was somewhat difficult to decide which path to take.
"There are many Commander-level Elites on the other side. Most importantly, they have Merda with them. They know the way! We only know that they are going to the 'Light Pass', but I have no idea where it is. "Bai Xiaowen wasn't blindly optimistic just because this was his home ground.
"We can follow the traces of their battle and search for them. They have to kill the Undead monsters in the mausoleum before they can continue. We can just find the corpses of the Undead monsters, "Li Shuyi said.
"That's a good idea."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly. He looked around with the help of the faint light from the glowing moss growing on the walls of the mausoleum.
The mausoleum was empty. Other than a few half-opened stone coffins, there were no monster corpses.
There were also no signs of battle in the mausoleum. The strangest thing was that there were no footprints of Merda's party. Bai Xiaowen couldn't use his Sherlock Holmes tracking skills.
"There are no corpses in this mausoleum. Let's open a door and take a look."
Bai Xiaowen manipulated the Skeleton Swordsman to push open a wooden door.
Roar!
With a roar, two Skeleton Soldiers rushed forward.
These Skeleton Soldiers were Level 7. However, in terms of strength, they were much weaker than Bai Xiaowen's Skeleton Swordsman. With Bai Xiaowen's One-handed Swordsmanship and Shield Mastery, the Skeleton Swordsman could exhibit even more strength.
The two wild Skeleton Soldiers couldn't even withstand a single blow. But when they died, something strange happened.
Boom, boom!
The shockwave exploded, and the two wild skeleton soldiers directly exploded into two gloomy and cold energy streams, blowing away the dust in the surroundings! Not even a trace of their corpses was left.
"I finally understand why there were no corpses in the mausoleum just now …" Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and looked at the footprints that were smoothed out by the explosion and covered by the flying dust. "I also finally understand why there were no signs of battle."
"What should we do?" Li Shuyi asked.
"We can only take one step at a time. Let's explore in one direction." Bai Xiaowen had a strong mind and didn't feel depressed.
He tapped his head lightly with his finger and said with a smile, "Although I don't know the map, the corresponding topographic map will be imprinted in my mind with every step we take. It will take us some time to find the Light Pass, but it won't take us too long. "
After confirming, the two of them headed north.
As they went deeper, the ghoul monsters they encountered along the way became stronger and stronger.
Skeleton Archers, Skeleton Mages, Skeleton Warriors …
Ghosts, Vampires, Zombies …
Most of the monsters had appeared in Bai Xiaowen's Black Spirit Stone. When Bai Xiaowen manipulated his ghoul army to fight, it felt like a battle between two mirror images. Of course, this was just an illusion.
The ghoul army on Bai Xiaowen's side was obviously stronger. In terms of attributes, Bai Xiaowen's spiritual power and psychic abilities were not weaker than the ghouls on the other side. However, in terms of skills, they had a complete victory. Summoned creatures that had devoured the souls of powerhouses had more powerful skills.
Bai Xiaowen's combat ability, which had improved by leaps and bounds in recent months, had also played an important role. If it hadn't been for this period of consolidation and improvement, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to explore this mausoleum when he had just reached level six.
The increase in combat ability was not reflected on the interface, but in actual combat.
Li Shuyi admired Bai Xiaowen's all-out battle. She felt that Bai Xiaowen's battle was very artistic and beautiful. Every summoned creature was like a component in a huge and precise machine, operating efficiently.
The seventh wave of monsters was dominated by the Bone Race. Bai Xiaowen controlled the summoned creatures to deal with them. One of the Skeleton Shieldbearers stabbed its sword at a tricky angle and hit the throat of an enemy Skeleton Soldier, causing it to retreat. Then, it stepped to the side and dodged an enemy Skeleton Soldier's sneak attack from behind. It raised its left arm and tilted its iron shield. An enemy Skeleton Warrior's sword slashed at the iron shield, causing insignificant recoil damage.
At the same time, the strengthened Skeleton Warrior controlled by Bai Xiaowen had already raised its sword for a short period of time under the protection of the other two sword-and-shield wielders. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the enemy Skeleton Warrior had not retracted its slashing motion and had no time to defend or dodge, Bai Xiaowen slashed its sword down furiously, chopping off its skull and sending it rolling to the ground.
The Skeleton Shieldbearers and Skeleton Warriors were like this. However, agility-based creatures like the Shadow Assassin were even more flashy.
Under the control of Bai Xiaowen's Level Seven Combat Skill and Level Seven Single-handed Sword Technique, the Shadow Assassin weaved through the gaps between the opponent's blades in all sorts of ways. When he was caught off guard, he delivered a slash with ease, just like a martial arts master who could move through a field of flowers without a single leaf touching him.
