Hu hu hu …
The sound of exhaling could be heard. At some point in time, more Elven Warriors had appeared and surrounded Hayashi River and Mossy Bone.
These elven warriors were wearing masks, and their chests were heaving up and down. They didn't seem to be dead.
Hayashi River could clearly sense that these elven warriors were living corpses. They looked like they were breathing, but in reality, their bodies were surging with power, ready to erupt at any moment.
Clearly, this was a trap. Once the prey came to the door, these elven warriors would appear and kill them.
Suddenly, the "Purple Thorn Sword" began to vibrate, and the rusty purple sword body emitted wisps of brilliance. The sword body showed a kind of translucent color, and the rust began to fade, exuding a kind of incomparably terrible sword intent.
Bang!
The sword mark on the door suddenly lit up and resonated with the [Redbud Sword]. Rays of sword energy shot out and slashed at the elven warriors. Their armor was cut open like paper, and they were cut in half at the waist, revealing the rotting organs inside … …
These sword lights seemed to have eyes. They avoided Hayashi River and Mossy Bone, and instantly cleared the elven warriors in the surroundings.
Creak …
The door opened automatically, and a powerful suction force surged over. Without giving Hayashi River and Mossy Bone any time to resist, the two of them were sucked in.
With a bang, the door closed, and the sound of violent collisions came from outside. It seemed like there were countless Elven Warriors outside. If the two of them hadn't come in quickly, they would have been surrounded.
"The guy in the crystal coffin has his own consciousness. He already knew that we were here …" Hayashi River said in a deep voice.
This guess caused Hayashi River's heart to tremble. Not only did the existence in the crystal coffin know that he and Mossy Bone had entered, but it also knew that they were not living beings.
That was why he didn't take any action until he got close to the door.
"That creature has already taken form …" Hayashi River mumbled.
This fact made the pure tree spirit silent. It also realized that this was a terrifying fact.
"This creature was created by absorbing the life of the elves. If it were to be released to the outside world, it would probably cause a huge catastrophe that would affect the entire world …" The pure tree spirit opened its mouth. It wanted to say something, but stopped.
Hayashi River knew very well what the pure tree spirit wanted to say. It wanted to persuade him to destroy the guy in the crystal coffin.
Hayashi River didn't care about that. The existence in the crystal coffin wasn't just any ordinary terrifying existence. With only the [Seventh Armament], he had no chance of winning.
Hayashi River would never do something he had no confidence in.
The pure tree spirit understood this and did not say anything.
At this moment, the [Redbud Sword] in Mossbone's hand was still glowing. The faint radiance spread toward the tunnel ahead.
This was a long and narrow passageway that meandered forward. The surroundings were filled with a haze of light, and there was a faint ray of light shining through …
The walls of the passageway were slightly glowing, exuding a quiet aura. According to the analysis of the composition of the [Moon Core], the texture of this wall had the effect of calming the mind.
"This is the special stone of the elves. Legend has it that the famous scenic spot in the elves' territory, the Tranquil Path, was paved with this stone …"
The database of the [Moon Core] was now very complete. It reported all the ancient information one by one, and it seemed like it would never stop.
Lin Chuan listened quietly. He had always listened attentively to this kind of information.
From this point, the [Moon Core] was very satisfied with this owner. Hayashi River always listened carefully to all the complicated information, and he often discussed it with the owner.
Mossbone walked in front, and Hayashi River observed the surroundings from behind. Along the way, he saw many corpses of elves, and they were all killed by a single sword strike.
After analyzing the wounds of these corpses, Hayashi River looked at the [Redbud Sword], and he was sure that it was the sword that killed the elves.
As for when the corpses died, the [Moon Core] deduced that it was the beginning of the Dark Age …
Hayashi River frowned slightly. "That dark elf lady fought here and then left, sending the [Redbud Sword] to Davo City …"
"Is there some internal strife among the elves? Why are they killing each other … "
Mossbone held the [Redbud Sword], and he kept moving forward under the guidance of the godly sword. From the way the elves died, it could be seen that not all of them were killed by the [Redbud Sword]. There were wounds caused by other elven combat techniques.
Just as he was surprised …
The two stopped. At the end of the passageway, there was a secret room. To be precise, it was a small hall.
It was very similar to the huge hall outside, and it had the same style. However, it was obvious that there had been a fierce battle here, and there were corpses of elven powerhouses everywhere.
These corpses were all skeletons, and only some corpses were in good condition. These were powerhouses above realm 8 who could preserve their physical bodies.
Thud, thud, thud …
Heavy footsteps sounded. It was the sound of metal boots stepping on the ground, and a slender elven warrior walked out of a crack.
This elven warrior was wearing a silver mask, but half of it was damaged, revealing a half-dried face. His light silver eyes bulged as he stared at Hayashi River and Mossbone.
There were deep wounds on his heart and neck. Those were fatal wounds, but they did not hinder his movements.
"It's you …"
Mossbone exclaimed in a low voice, obviously recognizing this elven warrior.
Hayashi River looked at Mossbone, and the latter quickly revealed this elven warrior's identity. In his era, he had been the captain of the dark elven guard.
This position was not particularly high in any of the current countries.
However, in the dark elven race, the captain of the guard was far more important than outsiders could imagine.
That was a position that only outstanding geniuses of the dark elven race could hold.
When Mossbone had first met Gaanalyn, he had clashed with this captain of the guard, and the two had fought to a draw.
"Why don't you just say that this is a top genius of the dark elven race …"
Hayashi River was somewhat speechless. Suddenly, the captain of the guard moved. With a boom, his figure disappeared on the spot, and a harsh gust of wind blew in the surroundings.
In the surroundings, layers of silver saber light swept over. The dazzling saber light was mixed with a sharp sound wave that could disturb one's mind, and it shrouded the two of them in an instant …
Such an attack was unbelievably fast, and Hayashi River was speechless. Even though his perception was comparable to a level-eight powerhouse in many aspects, and he had the Seventh Armor's adaptability, he was still shocked.
His two arms instantly deformed into liquid metal, constantly twisting to protect his body.
Meanwhile, Hayashi River's figure darted away, sticking close to the ground …
Ding, ding, ding …
With a harsh collision and a burst of energy, Hayashi River had already arrived behind the captain of the guard. With a Six-Star heavy sniper rifle in his hand, he shot at the captain's head.
At a distance of less than 100 meters, even a level-eight powerhouse would not dare to take a shot from a Six-Star heavy sniper rifle head-on …
Clang …
With a loud noise, the captain of the guard raised his hand and slashed backward, cutting the heavy sniper bullet in half.
At the same time, he slashed at Mossy Bone with his saber, and they fought …
"Don't interfere!" Mossy Bone shouted.
Hayashi River did not answer. Another Six-Star heavy sniper rifle appeared in his left hand, and the two sniper rifles kept firing, one after another, at the captain of the guard.
Hayashi River could not be bothered with Mossy Bone's words. He was still thinking of a fair fight at a time like this. This guy was really stupid.
"Fortunately, the Seventh Armor came. If he came in person, it would be really dangerous," Hayashi River muttered to himself.
Mossy Bone held the Redbud Sword and fought with the captain of the guard. Both their sword and saber techniques were master-level, and in terms of realm, they had both reached level-nine.
However, with Hayashi River's precise support, the captain of the guard did not last long. Finally, a shot pierced through his left shoulder, revealing a bowl-sized wound.
Whoosh …
The captain of the guard quickly retreated and turned his head to look at Hayashi River. His dull eyes were frightening.
In the next moment, the captain of the guard flew over, locked onto Hayashi River, and slashed at him with his saber.
At this time, Hayashi River deeply felt the horror of this elf powerhouse. That saber technique was simple, but when the saber slashed at him, it was difficult to parry and suffocating.
The saber flashed, and Hayashi River's body was directly cut in half. Then, Hayashi River raised his hand and stuffed a high-explosive Energy Crystal Bomb into the wound on the captain's left shoulder.
Boom …
There was a violent explosion, and the captain of the guard flew backward and hit the wall. His strength gradually weakened.
Not far away, Hayashi River's body was moving rhythmically in a liquid state, and it quickly condensed again. Looking at this elf powerhouse, he could not help but sigh in relief.
The Seventh Armor's fighting style was so changeable that it was beyond common sense. That was why it could achieve such a result in just one face-to-face encounter.
Mossy Bone followed. Looking at the body of the captain of the guard, and then at Hayashi River, he sighed helplessly.
Hum …
At this time, the Redbud Sword shot out a beam of light and penetrated between the eyebrows of the captain of the guard. This was not to break his head, but it resonated with some mysterious power in his body.
Then, the dull eyes of the captain of the guard turned slightly, and they became lively.
Then, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Mossy Bone and Hayashi River.
"You … haha …"
The captain of the guard stared at Mossy Bone, and then at his broken body. He revealed an elegant and proud smile unique to elves. "My consciousness should have been dormant for many years. I didn't expect you to be more miserable than me. You, who have the bloodline of the undead, have become unrecognizable. Haha …"
Hearing the captain of the guard's mockery, Mossy Bone asked, "What happened to the elves? What's going on here? How did you become like this … "
"Captain of the Redbud Legion, although you're unrecognizable, you're still the same … As for the truth of the matter, it's in here, including your body …"
The captain of the guard pointed behind him, and his aura rapidly weakened. "However, there's no turning back now. It's hard to say whether you'll be able to recover smoothly as Gaanalyn had planned. It's all up to you … Go in, and you, the fellow who injured me, go in with you … "
Saying this, the captain of the guard suddenly raised his saber and chopped off his left arm. A blood sac spurted out and burst open. Fresh blood seeped into the ground and spread towards the path behind him.
Immediately, a door in the wall slid open, revealing another secret room.
"My mission was to guard this place, and I've waited for your arrival. Now, I've finally completed it …" The captain of the guard said this, and then went completely silent.
Mossy Bone stood there for a while. He wanted to go forward and collect the body of the captain of the guard, but was stopped by Hayashi River.
"Let's go, he'll mutate soon …"
Hayashi River pointed at the wound on the captain of the guard. It was starting to rot, and he became like the elven warriors.
Obviously, the Elven Guard Captain was also undergoing a mutation like the other Elves. However, he was powerful enough to suppress this mutation.
If such a powerhouse were to mutate, he would become a terrifying enemy …
Mossy Bone did not say anything else, and went deeper into the path. He followed the bloodstains on the ground and entered the door. Seeing the scene inside, Hayashi River could not help but be shocked.
"That should be Lord Mossy Bone's body …" Hayashi River murmured.
This secret room was not big, but it was the only normal place here. To be more precise, it was the only place with traces of corrosion over time.
The surrounding walls and ground were covered in moss, and many furnishings were in tatters. There were corpses everywhere, on the ground, in the cracks in the walls, in the containers …
In the deepest part of the secret room, there was a crystal cylinder. It was completely sealed, and there was not a single trace of a slender man's body sealed inside.
The man was wearing clothes that were completely different from those of the elves. It was a kind of gelatinous soft armor.
Even with Hayashi River's aesthetic standards, he had to admit that this man was excessively handsome, comparable to the male elves.
The crystal cylinder was surrounded by corpses, and they were arranged in a strange shape with it as the center …
This scene made Hayashi River think of many strange things. For example, the sacrificial ceremony of the Blood Spirit Clan had a similar strange scene …
"Yes. That's my body … "Mossy Bone murmured.
Actually, he couldn't believe it either. This place was far too different from where he had expected his body to be.
There were many ways for the elves to preserve their bodies, and Mossy Bone was very familiar with most of them. But this scene was beyond his expectations.
Since it was Mossy Bone's body, it was a good idea …
Hayashi River secretly heaved a sigh of relief. At least half of the purpose of this trip had been achieved. As for how to move Mossy Bone's body away or even revive it, there were many alternatives.
Before this trip, he was most worried that Mossy Bone's body did not exist at all. If that was the case, he would have come for nothing.
"Ding …"
Hayashi River pressed the sensor goggles, and the scanner on it was activated. It transmitted the surrounding scene to the [Moon Core] for analysis.
On the goggles, the images were constantly analyzed, analyzing the identities of these corpses and other aspects …
"Are there any of these people that you know?"
Hayashi River asked Mossy Bone, but he had no intention of going forward to investigate the crystal cylinder.
Mossy Bone also held his sword and shook his head. There were creatures of other races among these corpses, but he was not familiar with any of them.
Suddenly, in the shadows behind them, a long and narrow shadow suddenly elongated. With a swoosh, it shot toward the vital parts on Hayashi River's back.
The long and narrow shadow sank into Hayashi River's body and disappeared at once. Then, a sharp roar came from inside his body …
"Whoosh …"
The internal temperature of the doppelganger formed by the [Seventh Armor] rose sharply. All kinds of energy swirled like a millstone, clamping the shadow inside and crushing it crazily.
"No … What are you … You're not a creature …"
The long and narrow shadow struggled desperately like a snake, trying to rush out of Hayashi River's body, but it could not do so.
"We've been guarding against this move for a long time. Do you think we didn't notice it at all? Polluting the Tree Spirit … "
Hayashi River said calmly with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. From the moment he entered this place, he had been guarding against the polluting Tree Spirit.
After all, the location of Mossy Bone's body was obtained from the memory fragment of the polluting Tree Spirit. This made Hayashi River very vigilant.
The polluting Tree Spirit was likely to have left a wisp of thought here and set up a trap.
Therefore, Hayashi River and Mossy Bone did not take any action. They were just looking for suspicious traces in the secret chamber.
As for the emergency plan, Hayashi River had prepared a lot, but he did not expect that the polluting Tree Spirit's thought would choose his doppelganger. This was the most ideal situation.
Whoosh …
Inside the doppelganger formed by the Seventh Armor, various forces were intertwining. Hayashi River suppressed this thought with the Heart World Lock.
From the pure Tree Spirit, Hayashi River learned that the spiritual energy of the stone ball was a great threat to the Tree Spirit. It was like the nemesis of the Tree Spirit and could be easily destroyed.
At this time, Hayashi River's body was like a furnace, constantly burning this thought …
"You monster!? Let me go, or I won't let you go … "The polluting Tree Spirit's thought roared and threatened.
"Why won't you let me go?"
Lin Chuan said coldly, "That main body of yours, right? It has already been killed in the northern lands of the Star Ao Empire. If the polluting Tree Spirit's thought disappears, you'll be completely finished. Do you still expect the other polluting Tree Spirits to avenge you? "
"You … Who are you …"
The will trembled violently. It was shocked by Lin Chuan's words. Its main body had actually been killed? How was that possible …
In this mausoleum fortress, the connection with its main body was very weak. Moreover, it had to guard against the terrifying existence in the crystal coffin outside, so it knew nothing about what happened outside.
Now, it thought that it had found an excellent host, but it didn't expect that it would not only be trapped, but also reveal its origin.
"Otherwise … How do you think we found this place?" Hayashi River asked again.
"You …"
This thought suddenly felt that something was wrong and struggled violently, but it was crushed into pieces by the terrifying energy in Hayashi River's body. Memory fragments emerged one by one and were quickly absorbed by Hayashi River.
Images appeared in his mind. They were scenes from a long time ago, long before the hundred-year war, when the polluting Tree Spirit snuck into this place …
To be exact, it wasn't one polluting Tree Spirit, but several polluting Tree Spirits snuck into this place together.
Because a terrible creature was born in the Elf Mausoleum. For the polluting Tree Spirits, the power contained in this creature was a great temptation, and they wanted to take its power before it was formed.
However, the degree of danger here was beyond the imagination of the polluting Tree Spirits.
In ancient times, the elves were quite good at dealing with polluting Tree Spirits. There were many powerhouses among the High Elves who had killed polluting Tree Spirits alone.
After all, many powerhouses among the High Elves had mastered an ability called purification, which was fatal to the polluting Tree Spirits.
During that exploration of the mausoleum, more than half of the polluting Tree Spirits had perished. This polluting Tree Spirit was relatively lucky. After being severely injured, it left behind a wisp of its consciousness and went to the north, wanting to devour the pure Tree Spirits there and recover its power before coming here again.
As for the polluting Tree Spirit that had been hiding outside the Elf Mausoleum, it was the strongest of the few polluting Tree Spirits.
After its failure, it stayed nearby, waiting for an opportunity to take the power of the terrifying creature in the crystal coffin …
As for the crystal pillar that Moss Bone's body was in, this consciousness had been spying on it. It was an extremely perfect parasite, and it wanted to wait for Moss Bone to recover before seizing its body.
However, it did not expect to meet Hayashi River, and it failed …
However, the polluting Tree Spirits were not clear about the origin of the creature in the Elf Mausoleum. They only sensed that there was a huge power there that could transform. If they absorbed it, they would become the strongest polluting Tree Spirit.
After that, they could devour other polluting Tree Spirits and form a Tree of Life again.
No, the polluting Tree Spirit claimed to be a brand-new Tree of Life, but it was actually a Tree of Death.
Pieces of memories surfaced in his mind, and Hayashi River also understood that if Moss Bone did not have the Redbud Sword, and he had the doppelganger formed by the Seventh Armor, it would have been almost impossible for him to enter this place.
The mausoleum was so dangerous that even a team of ninth-realm powerhouses would be doomed.
"Let's go."
Hayashi River said, and Moss Bone had already walked toward the crystal pillar.
The two walked forward slowly, their perception constantly enveloping the surroundings to prevent any accidents.
Suddenly, Moss Bone stopped in his tracks and looked at the two corpses not far away.
He waved his hand, and the two corpses turned over. One was an elf, and the other was an undead …
Judging from the state of death, this elf had been ambushed by the undead, and before he died, he made a fatal backhand slash and killed the undead powerhouse.
The undead were extremely difficult to kill, but the ability of the High Elves was fatal to them.
"Which one do you know?" Hayashi River looked at Moss Bone.
With his familiarity with Moss Bone, he could sense that Moss Bone was now extremely angry, and was on the verge of going berserk.
"Sh * t undead …" Moss Bone growled in a low voice.
Holding the Redbud Sword, he raised his hand and cut the undead powerhouse's body into several pieces. Looking at the High Elf's corpse, he raised his sword and saluted solemnly.
This was the Redbud Army's sword salute, and it was an extremely high form of etiquette. In particular, Moss Bone's salute had an extraordinary meaning.
Through the earpiece, Moon Core learned some secrets from the database. The commander of the Redbud Army was a mixed-blood of three races, and it was precisely this mixed-blood that gave him extraordinary talent.
When the commander of the Redbud Army was young, he was used as a test subject by an undead lord, and experienced a tragic childhood.
Since there were corpses of undead powerhouses here, it could be inferred that the undead knew where the body was, and wanted to take it away, resulting in a fierce battle with the elves.
"Undead powerhouses were involved in the changes in the mausoleum fortress …"
Hayashi River's thoughts spun, and he glanced at Moss Bone. He was rather sympathetic to this fellow's experience.
Moreover, he was rather curious as to how such a tragic childhood could lead to Moss Bone's temperament and eventually become the commander of the Redbud Army.
Looking around, there were at least a hundred undead powerhouses in the surroundings. Clearly, this was a terrifying ambush, and it was an ambush team made up of peerless powerhouses.
Such an ambush forced the High Elves to choose a mutually destructive method, and perish together with the undead.
The strange arrangement of the corpses around the crystal pillar was actually a battle formation of the High Elves, and it was all to protect Moss Bone's body …
"Let's go … take back my body …"
Moss Bone said in a low voice. He stepped over the corpses and arrived in front of the crystal pillar.
Suddenly, the body in the crystal pillar opened its eyes, and a terrifying shock wave surged out. With a bang, the pillar shattered, and Moss Bone and Hayashi River could not dodge in time, and were sent flying.
"I … never thought … that the owner of this body would come back to take it back one day …"
The body laughed, and there was a strange evil in it. Its pupils were like two pitch-black gems that kept expanding, squeezing out the whites of its eyes.
A terrifying pressure swept out like a raging tide. Hayashi River was knocked into the wall, and then fell heavily to the ground. He screamed and lay on the ground. His legs twitched, and he immediately stopped breathing, as if he had died on the spot.
