The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 103 Gaining New Skills

The robbery hole was not very long, and Yuan Xu and others entered a spacious tomb.

The lighter was on, but it couldn't illuminate much space.

Everyone stood together, Yuan Xu ordered: "Don't move, wait for a while."

He took out the ghost qin, and the sound of the qin echoed in the tomb.

From the frequency of the echoing sound, Yuan Xu could tell that the area here was not small, at least larger than three or four main halls of the Yuan family.

A whirlwind swept by, and the flames of several lighters were all extinguished. Zhen Yan and the guards panicked.

Yuan Xu, who was still playing the piano, said: "Don't panic, it's the dead spirit driven by me."

After hearing his words, everyone's mood stabilized.

Yuan Xu didn't summon the undead once or twice, and there was never a precedent for the mistake of attacking his subordinates.

The sound of the piano stopped, everyone held their breath, and the silence on the scene made people feel weird.

After about half a stick of incense, the eyes of Zhen Yan and the others suddenly lit up, and dozens of sticks glowing with light appeared in front of them.

Yuan Xu picked up one of them: "Fire is often unreliable. This kind of fluorescent stick can be used for long-term lighting, and it won't get hot. Put away the lighters, and each person takes one to illuminate the road."

Fluorescent sticks have a long lighting time and are not as easy to extinguish as torches. They are much better than using fire as a light source.

But if there is a choice, Yuan Xu's first choice will never be them.

If it weren't for the inability to bring electricity, the miner's lamps after 2000 would be more usable.

Fortunately, the fluorescent sticks he brought from later generations were not the kind used for civilian entertainment, but professional equipment for lighting special environments.

The intensity of their light is not weak. Dozens of guards each hold one, illuminating the surrounding area brightly.

Everyone saw clearly that the tomb they were in was spacious and empty, except for a dozen pillars carved with patterns, there was nothing else.

"My lord, here..." Zhen Yan still felt a little flustered, having never been to the tomb.

"It's just the tomb outside." Yuan Xu said, "There won't be too many dead bodies in King Liang's tomb. I can't force the dead things to clear the way, so be careful."

With the lighting, they quickly found the tomb passage.

Going forward along the tomb passage, almost at the end, a guard shouted: "My lord, there seems to be someone in front!"

Yuan Xu looked over, and sure enough, not far ahead, there was a person sitting against the wall.

Walking quickly, he squatted in front of the corpse to check: "There is no wound at all, and the skin is dark, as if poisoned."

"Why is there poison in the tomb?" Zhen Yan asked worriedly.

"Let it walk ahead to open the way." Yuan Xu raised his hand: "If you find something wrong, run back immediately."

The corpse sitting against the wall slowly stood up.

The guards had long been accustomed to the corpse standing up, and no one showed panic.

After the corpse stood up, he walked forward step by step.

When it came to a door, it stopped.

"Open the door." Yuan Xu ordered.

Several guards stepped forward and pushed hard on the door made of pure copper.

After the gate was opened, what appeared in front of them was a larger tomb.

There is a coffin in the middle of the tomb.

In addition, along the periphery of the tomb, there are two long rows of storage racks, which are filled with pearls, jade, gold and silver.

"It seems to be nothing." Seeing that this is the main tomb, Zhen Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

He was about to walk in when Yuan Xu grabbed him: "Be careful!"

Nothing happened, Zhen Yan was at a loss: "My lord, what's the matter?"

"What do you think that is?" Yuan Xu motioned him to look ahead.

Zhen Yan looked over and saw dozens of people lying in disorder in the tomb.

The people lying there were all wearing Cao Jun armor, and they should be Captain Mojin who entered the tomb earlier than them.

"Check the corpses." Yuan Xu ordered: "Don't turn them over."

The guards stepped forward and examined the corpse carefully.

After a while, they all reported the results to Yuan Xu.

All the bodies were the same as the one found outside, no wounds could be found, and there were signs of poisoning.

"No scars?" Zhen Yan asked in astonishment, "What's going on?"

Yuan Xu didn't answer.

He found that King Liang's coffin showed no signs of moving, and the corpse was still inside, unaffected by the summoning spell.

The coffin should be extremely airtight and completely isolated from outside sounds.

When he came to a corpse, he squatted down.

Sure enough, there were no wounds on the corpse, and there was no sign of movement of the corpse in the tomb, which made him feel a little uneasy.

While examining the corpse, Yuan Xu heard a soft "whoosh" sound.

He turned his head abruptly, only to see a band-shaped black shadow jumping towards Zhen Yan.

Raising his hand and waving it away, a bone spur flew towards the black shadow.

The black shadow was hit by the bone spur and fell to the ground.

The guards approached with light sticks, and what they saw was a strange creature that looked like a snake but had no head.

The creature is ribbon-shaped, and the head is just a long, thin needle-like mouthpart.

Yuan Xu had never seen such a creature.

He told Zhen Yan: "You all go out, close the door, and open it when I tell you."

"My lord, it's too dangerous here..." Zhen Yan and the guards refused.

Yuan Xu shouted in a low voice: "Get out!"

He has the ability to drive the undead, Zhen Yan and the guards all believed that there would be no problems in the tomb, so they reluctantly withdrew.

The gate was closed, and only dozens of corpses and Yuan Xu remained in the huge main tomb.

Slowly closing his eyes, he listened to the movement nearby.

The soft sound of "rustling" came from all directions, as if countless snakes were approaching.

Clenching his hands suddenly, a white light spread around him.

White light illuminated the entire main tomb, and countless snake-like creatures fell from the beams of the tomb.

Those creatures fell to the ground, some twisted twice, and more were completely unresponsive.

"Congratulations, my lord, for completing the task." The voice of the magic voice appeared again: "The increase of necromantic energy is one step closer to leveling up, and you will also get a martial skill bone shield."

"Bone shield?" Yuan Xu asked, "Defensive skills?"

"From now on, the lord can activate the bone shield defense in the face of an attack."

"Will it affect the third-level summoning skills?" Yuan Xu asked.

The magic voice replied: "The bone shield is an extra task skill, and it is not in the sequence of summoning martial arts."

"I thought the task was so difficult." Yuan Xu curled his lips: "It's just a necromantic light."

"The lord can make people clean up the treasure, I will step back first." The magic voice said, and disappeared without a trace.

Yuan Xu knocked on the stone door, and Zhen Yan, who was waiting outside, asked the guards to open the door.

Walking into the main tomb, Zhen Yan asked Yuan Xu, "My lord, are you okay?"

"Look at the things on the ground, and you will know if there is anything."

Zhen Yan and the guards looked at the ground, only to see snake-like creatures everywhere.

They gasped. If they hadn't followed Yuan Xu to the grave, none of them would have gotten out alive this time.

"There is no danger here, pack up the treasure and let's go." Yuan Xu ordered.

The guards rushed to pack the treasures from the tomb into the linen bags they carried with them.
