As Zhan expected, Verna's mercenaries swept the entire tomb, but found nothing. Except for the broken pots and pots and blood stains, there was not even a gray dwarf corpse here.

No. It is completely inconsistent with the heavy casualties described by the gray dwarves before.

But the more this happens, the more nervous Verna becomes. Zhan has noticed the gaze she casts on him more than once. Obviously, this dark elf also feels that something is wrong, but even so, Verna does not want to evacuate.

Meaning. She is now like a gambler who has become obsessed with gambling, putting all her chips in the last round. She will either make a big profit or lose a big sum.

Since Verna did not take the initiative to come to him and ask to quit, Zhan naturally would not force him to leave. For Zhan, these mercenaries were originally cannon fodder for him to use as targets.

As for Verna's life and death, it has nothing to do with him.

The mercenaries under her command returned without success again and again, which obviously made Verna very angry. She kept beating the ground with her whip, making a crisp sound of "pah pah pah" to express her dissatisfaction. And the mercenaries

The soldiers were too nervous to take a breath and rummaged around in the cemetery containing the skeletons. Unfortunately, they smashed the bones open and scanned them, but they couldn't find anything valuable.

Zhan had no interest in this farce. He just stood quietly with Enoa and carefully observed the hall in front of him. This is the most spacious part of the entire mausoleum and also its center. But even

There is nothing else here except the sarcophagi placed around it.

But with the help of Banshee's investigation, Zhan has discovered that there is indeed a passage leading below. He has observed the traces left by the gray dwarves. It is obvious that they opened Pandora somewhere here.

box, and then released something that he absolutely did not want to see.

And now, the box has been closed again.

But it is not impossible to open it anymore.

The noise in their ears became louder and louder. Those orcs and bugbears who had been searching for a long time to no avail had begun to wave their weapons angrily, smashing everything they could see in front of them. They pushed down the sarcophagus and roared.

The weapons smashed everything inside into pieces. The pain of the previous raid and the anger of getting nothing made these guys lose their minds and once again showed their ferocious and violent nature.

Neither Verna nor Zhan stopped the actions of these mercenaries. The common sense that desecrating corpses is wrong does not exist in the underground world. For underground creatures, corpses are just props and rotten tables and chairs.

, there is no difference between the worn long sword and the armor.

More importantly, after you smash these things, you don't have to worry about encountering enemies you absolutely don't want to encounter when you return.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

Just after another bugbear pushed an upright sarcophagus to the ground like it was venting its anger, suddenly, there was a dull roar in the entire hall. When hearing this sound, the mercenaries who were still doing crazy damage were shocked.

They quickly gathered together and came to the side of Zhan En and Verna, looking around vigilantly.

But this time, there was no trap or attack. Amidst the rumbling roars, the walls that originally seemed to be tightly closed began to rise gradually. Soon, a dark, seemingly naturally formed cave appeared.

Just like this, he appeared in front of everyone. Seeing this scene, the corners of Zhan En's mouth raised slightly, and a smile appeared.

Pandora's box is opened.

The howling cold wind blew from the depths of the cave, which made many people tremble slightly, but for those species with a sensitive sense of smell, this meant more.

"It smells like blood!"

A bugbear rubbed his nose and spoke loudly to Verna.

"There was a battle inside, and there were a lot of dead bodies!!"

"Oooohhhhhh!!"

At the same time, suddenly, a strange roar sounded, and then everyone saw dots of scarlet light emerging from the depths of the dark cave. And not long after, dozens of low figures emerged from the cave.

emerge.

"It's a gray dwarf!!"

After seeing the enemy clearly, everyone was shocked. The eyes of these gray dwarves who emerged from the cave were red. They seemed to be raising their battle axes like crazy, and their whole bodies were like a whirlwind towards the servants in front of them.

The soldiers rushed forward.

When encountering the gray dwarves' surprise attack, the mercenaries shouted angrily, raised their weapons, and moved forward to meet the enemy.

Soon, swords and axes met.

As the most ferocious race in the underground that is good at fighting, the power of bugbears and orcs cannot be underestimated. The orcs, who had gone completely berserk, roared and swung their giant swords, cutting the gray dwarves' axes held high together with their bodies in half.

The bugbears waved their flails, whistling and sweeping through the air, knocking away the gray dwarves who besieged them one by one.

But these gray dwarves are not easy to mess with. Their short stature allows them to evade most attacks. After arriving at the enemy's side, they can cut off the opponent's legs with an axe, and then throw the servant to the ground.

The soldiers won't even have the slightest chance to resist, and their brains will be completely smashed and split.

For a time, the two sides fell into a melee.

"I knew... there would be trouble."

Looking at the gray dwarf charging towards him with his battle ax raised, Zhan even sighed leisurely. Of course he saw how difficult the gray dwarf in front of him was, and his opponent's pair of bloodshot eyes were so red that they were almost dazzling.

The eyes also proved the true identity of these gray dwarves. It was obvious that they had completely become someone else's puppets.

"It seems that this time, we need to take some strong medicine..."

While muttering to himself, Zhan stretched out his hands. Soon, two strange symbols appeared on the back of his hands. Then, beating thunder and lightning suddenly erupted, whizzing forward and hitting the gray dwarf hard.

On the body of the gray dwarf. In just the blink of an eye, countless arcs of electricity were sprayed out from it, binding the gray dwarf's body tightly like ropes. Then the blazing flames rose from the ground and swallowed the gray dwarf completely in an instant.

After hitting the target, the jumping thunder flew to the side without stopping at all. In just a blink of an eye, Zhan saw that his eyes had completely turned into a sea of ​​thunder and flames. All the gray dwarves were knocked down by the thunder and lightning.

Then it was burned by the flames until no residue was left.

But this did not make the other attackers have the slightest intention of retreating. The gray dwarves who had transformed into undead creatures swarmed forward and rushed forward without fear. Seeing this scene, Zhan En frowned slightly, and then asked

He took a few steps back.

Different from the magic in this world, Zhan's magic comes from the dungeon system. Although it has the advantage of being powerful and wide-ranging, it is not completely without flaws. As a mage with only two magics, Zhan has to endure the cooldown.

The bondage of time. The cooldown time of a spell is ten seconds CD. It can be said that during this period, Zhan himself has no combat effectiveness at all.

Fortunately, he is not fighting alone.

Just as Zhan was retreating, Enoa had already appeared in front of him. The thunder whip in his hand transformed into an indestructible electrical grid, which blocked the gray dwarves' further attacks.

In other places, the battle is still continuing. The dead gray dwarves are naturally not afraid of death. But this is not too difficult for the strong bugbears and orcs. They waved their hands mercilessly

The heavy weapon smashed everything in sight into pieces. For a time, various collision sounds, roars and screams filled the hall in front of him, making everything a mess. But there was almost no sound.

People discovered that at this moment, the dark shadow in the originally opened hole began to gradually distort and deform.

"Um?"

Just after releasing flames again to eliminate the gray dwarves in front of him, Zhan suddenly saw a strange shadow in the corner of his eyes. He quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the black shadow, and then he was suddenly startled.

At the same time, in the heavy shadow of the cave, four or five thin tentacles suddenly stretched out, and they rushed towards a half-orc quickly. And the half-beast who was fighting with the gray dwarf

The mercenary was completely unaware of the attack coming from above his head. Just as he waved his giant sword again to fend off the enemy's attack, the pitch-black tentacles flew down from behind and wrapped heavily around his neck.

Upon noticing this sudden attack, the half-beast mercenary was also shocked, but before he could struggle, he hung down softly as if he had been anesthetized. Then he saw the dark tentacles lifting forward. The next moment, the half-beast mercenary

The beast mercenary was quietly caught and flew deep into the cave.

Want to run?!

Seeing this, Zhan's eyes also lit up, and then he quickly stretched out his hand and waved it forward. The next moment, dazzling and hot white lightning roared through the air, hitting hard above the dark tentacles. I saw

Accompanied by a strange and miserable cry, the dark tentacles curled up and retreated under the burst of lightning. It just dropped the unlucky half-beast mercenary, and then quickly disappeared into the depths of the cave.

"Master? What is that?"

At the same time that Zhan launched the attack, Enoa also saw the monster. But because she wanted to protect Zhan, she couldn't deal with it. At this moment, seeing the black tentacles escaping, she asked with some worry.

.

"I have no idea."

Faced with Enoa's inquiry, Zhan En shook his head.

"However, I believe it is the core of this adventure."

As he spoke, Zhan En looked at the system in front of him again, where a line of system prompts was floating quietly.
