Chapter 3298 "Smelly Corpse Lord"
[Stranger, you have officially entered the "Corridor of Time". ]
The familiar endless glowing white mist filled the entire world. He walked towards the curved archway in front of the white mist, which was composed of slender tree trunks, vines, branches and green leaves. He stuffed the cat toy into his pocket and walked directly into the archway.
[Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree": ]
[Autumn of the Fifth Era 5182, Central Continent, Tombstone Wasteland.]
【Event: Grave digging.】
【Duration: 2 minutes → 3 minutes (/).】
[You have obtained additional information. 】
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree is watching you. 】
[The ancient god of time gives you a test. 】
[Assist mortals to learn the secrets of the old god - "King of Skeletons". ]
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you a reward: Miracle Spirit Rune - Jealousy. ]
As his body passed through the arch, the fog around him dissipated, and Shad frowned slightly, trying to get rid of the discomfort caused by the sudden change in gravity direction.
It was pitch black around him, and as expected, he was buried in the grave again. With the experience from last time, Xia De quickly got himself out of the soil behind the tombstone, and by the way, he found a gold bracelet from the grave as a burial object.
"here it is"
The short stay in the tomb caused a serious loss of physical strength and spirit. He leaned on the tombstone and gasped for breath, looking around. In the light mist, there were tombstones illuminated by candlesticks and lanterns everywhere. But after reading the information on the surrounding tombstones, Shade knew very well that the "grave" he appeared in this time was not the same "grave" as the last time.
This was the first time he encountered a situation where the place of appearance was different during a time adventure.
The last time he climbed out of the grave, there was only a simple moon symbol carved on the tombstone with a chisel, but this time there were moon and sun symbols nestled together in the center of the tombstone, which indirectly proved that the place where he appeared this time was indeed different from the last time.
Looking around, Shad was sure that he did not see any trace of the gravekeeper's hut, so he decided to stay where he was for the time being and wait for the "corpse tree" or Theresa and the others to come over.
The fog here was not completely frozen, but was slowly flowing, but Xia De could not feel any wind. The stench of corpses and the smell of damp soil mixed together, making Xia De gradually suspect that his nose was losing its normal function.
He was still wondering what the fire that Sister Defuline had taken out of her chest meant. While holding onto the tombstone and waiting to be found, he curiously checked the surrounding tombstones, and saw a playboy who had flirted with too many girls and ended up dying tragically at the hands of jealous and angry women.
【This may be some kind of "hint." 】
"She" said with a smile, and Shad laughed dryly in his heart as an agreement, and then thought about whether the supplies he brought this time would suit the tastes of the nun, Theresa, and the tomb robber Miss Gianna Liad.
The cat was still in the pocket of Shade's coat in the form of a toy, and this time it was very obedient. After its state had almost returned to normal, Shade heard some sounds in the silence.
But what he heard was not the sound of hounds running or witches walking, but the sound of birds flapping their wings.
He changed from leaning against the tombstone to standing up straight, closing his eyes while changing direction, and then suddenly threw his hand forward:
"Moonlight Greatsword!"
The silver sword emerged from the air and immediately turned into a pure silver whip that whipped into the depths of the fog. The sound of the sword breaking through the air echoed for a long time, and Xia De clearly saw a ball of black blood exploded in the depths of the white fog.
Then the fluttering sounds became more and more frequent, and large groups of undead crows gathered above Shade's head from the direction where the long whip was retracted. Shade first cast a silent spell, and then a spinning fireball appeared in his empty left hand.
But before he threw the fireball at the crows in the sky, a voice suddenly said:
"Wait a moment."
Among the dense flock of undead crows, a small group of crows pulled a carriage made of wriggling black flesh and blood and continued to descend until it landed not far from Shade.
The flesh on the surface of the carriage looked alive, and was even dripping pus or corpse oil onto the ground. The stench was becoming stronger, and as the flesh window of the "carriage" opened like a sphincter, a rotting corpse's head poked out of the window:
"You have some relics on you, right?"
It used a language that Shade had never heard of before, and although it seemed that it was the corpse's head that was speaking, Shade clearly felt that the carriage was the one that was speaking. The part of the corpse that could not be seen might have merged with the carriage.
"Hand over the relics and I will let you go."
The strange language said this, and the fireball in Shade's left hand, which had just been extinguished, burned again. The rolling heat and light hit the carriage, and the rotten corpse immediately changed its tone:
"I mean, a living person like you must want to leave when you come here, right? Give me the relic and I can provide you with information. I am the 'Lord of the Stinky Corpse' of this kingdom, and I will not lie."
Although this title is strange, last time Shade also encountered a strange existence in this wasteland that was willing to accept the relic trade, and thus learned about the more common monsters such as gargoyles, dead frogs, skeleton nuns, and white candle monks:
"I have only one relic."
"Oh, so you're a poor fellow~"
"What did you say?"
"I mean, a relic will do. Give it to me and I can tell you anything you want to know."
A black arm grew out from the bottom of the carriage made of rotten black flesh and blood and stretched out towards Shade. Shade smiled and said:
"Okay, then you pick it up!"
The action of turning and slashing back and forth caused the Moonlight Great Sword to leave a brilliant light and shadow in the fog. The great sword with the gorgeous runes cut off the body of the black slender ghost that appeared silently behind him, causing it to completely melt in the light of the silver moon.
The carriage had no intention of trading with him, and the conversation just now was just to distract Shade's attention.
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the carriage quickly disappeared under the cover of the crows, and thousands of undead crows above Shade's head all moved. The crows hovering in the sky carried the resentment and curses from the dead and wanted to attack downwards. Shade, who had sensed the position of the carriage again, suddenly pointed to the sky with his left hand:
"Chloe's frozen time!"
The crows in a certain area of the sky were frozen like an oil painting at this moment. These undead crows had no souls and were just puppets, so they could be affected by this magical technique.
Then the spinning fireball flew towards the solidified "time and space", and at the moment when the effect of freezing time and space ended, it detonated the crows and revealed the black flesh carriage hidden in the back. Even with the effect of the "Silent Note Spell", the sound still spread far away.
"Thunder gun!"
The silver-white lightning penetrated upwards, defeating all the remaining crows that blocked the road, but in the end it was still blocked by the shell of the flesh and blood carriage. But it didn't dare to stay and fight with Shade. After controlling the crows to continue harassing Shade, the carriage drove in the dark sky to the distance of the wasteland full of tombstones.
"Moonfire!"
A stream of silver light cut through the dark sky, and the pure silver light shattered a quarter of the carriage, but the remaining part, still carrying a large flock of crows, completely disappeared into the depths of the white fog.
Shade had no intention of chasing the enemy. After simply clearing the remaining undead crows around him, he walked towards the place where the carriage fragments fell. Most of the enemies in this wasteland would not leave corpses after being "killed", but would be directly absorbed by the wasteland itself.
The same was true for the carriage made of black flesh. When Shade found the remains of the carriage, only a small part of it was still wriggling on the ground. Next to the pile of black flesh covering an unfortunate grave, two crudely made golden rings and a one-meter-long golden scepter lay next to the tombstone.
"Is this also a burial object?"
Judging from the rough workmanship and luxurious pure gold material of the scepter, it was indeed a burial object. However, it was incomprehensible to the poor outsiders in the past that such heavy gold was considered as "one piece" together with those "light" rings and earrings.
There was a golden sphere on top of the pure gold scepter, and the scepter itself was engraved with dense bone-shaped letters. Shade took a quick look and found that most of the content was praise for the "King of the Grave", and the rest recorded the knowledge of controlling undead crows and the ancient version of "corpse explosion".
As for the golden sphere on the top of the scepter, it was branded with the holy emblem of the [Lord of the Tomb].
"It's a pity that this is just an ordinary item."
With such a big commotion here, Shade knew he couldn't stay here for long. He wanted to move a distance in a random direction, but when he looked around, he saw the familiar spirit hound standing on the tombstone not far away.
It wagged its tail and panted, and when Shade approached quickly, it turned around and walked quickly between the tombstones to lead the way for Shade. Since the Corpse Tree had found him first, Shade followed the hound in front of him and walked forward.
But his chest suddenly began to move, and the disobedient cat really showed its little head and stared at the hound wagging its tail in front of it, but the cat was quickly pressed back into the pocket on his chest by Shade. The dead air here is too heavy, even if the cat does not want to be turned into a toy, it is best not to expose it directly to the air.
The dark shadow of the "corpse tree" is not far ahead. Only when you get closer can you see the black roots protruding from the ground, the blue crown of the tree, and the corpse hanging under the crown that is still swaying in the wind.
The shriveled dog head embedded in the tree trunk opened its dark eyes only after its daughter happily returned to the tree. It looked at Shade who was brought in, but before Shade greeted it, it noticed the pure gold scepter again.
