Chapter 695: Chapter 494, Bound Spirit Guardians_2
Straight ahead, a scimitar was high in the air, coming down hard.
In Demitrija’s hand, a slight block with the longsword changed the direction of the scimitar, causing it to slash the undead companion by his side.
The two undead stared in surprise for a moment, both turning their heads to look at each other.
Before they could turn their heads again,
A sweep of the longsword decapitated the two Bound Spirit Guardians in front.
Immediately after, Demitrija’s longsword transformed into flashes of light continuously making skeletons fly before falling.
His feet didn’t stop, pushing quickly ahead.
The Lionheart Knights following behind were also continuously swinging their weapons.
They began finishing off and cleaning up the stray undead.
Fang Hao stood outside the cave, though he couldn’t see Demitrija’s attacking techniques and actions.
But from above, he could see the skeletons’ limbs flying and falling without ceasing.
These enemies posed no threat to Demitrija.
…
Half an hour later.
The sound of battle inside the cave weakened, the fight had ended.
The narrow crossroad inside was now piled with the bodies of Bound Spirit Guardians.
From the mouth of the cave, stretching until it was out of sight.
And Demitrija, holding the sheathed longsword, slowly emerged with the five Lionheart Knights. It seemed that none of them were injured, only that the knights’ breaths were somewhat unsteady.
Taking large breaths of the surrounding air.
Seeing everyone safely returning, Fang Hao also let out a sigh of relief.
In any battle, his combat strategy was primarily based on overwhelming numerical strength.
Although the heroes under his command were all very powerful, he never intended to let them take risks unless necessary.
But today was different, they were too close to Silver Wing City.
He simply couldn’t call on his undead army.
That’s why he let Demitrija take the lead in clearing the remaining enemies.
Even though Demitrija could easily clear these out, life-and-death fights in an unfamiliar environment still brought the fear of unexpected incidents.
Fang Hao let Demitrija and others rest while turning to Li Rong and saying, “Li Rong, after it’s cleaned up in there, let your people go collect the spoils of war and move out the skeletons.”
“Ah? Oh!”
Li Rong responded reflexively.
Just now when she saw Demitrija and five others safely returning,
She was completely stunned.
Didn’t they say there were still forty or fifty undead inside? How did they come back so quickly?
And it looks no different from when they went in.
But the sound of the battle did indeed disappear, and Fang Hao had no reason to deceive her.
She couldn’t help in the fight, so naturally, the cleaning work fell on her.
She immediately called her people, “Come, everyone go in and clean up the battlefield. Separate the bones and the equipment.”
Swish swish!!
Li Rong’s subordinates stood up one after another.
They entered the cave with caution at first, and when they saw that all the undead had really been killed and there was no danger,
They all swarmed in and began moving the bodies out.
Soon, the cave was cleared.
The platform by the lake was piled with disarmed equipment and bones.
Fang Hao, from the side, made a certain number of bullets again.
He continued, “Li Rong, the space inside the cave is limited. If too many people go in, it would be too dangerous to retreat. You should go in with me and let the rest stay outside.”
Li Rong knows the strength of her troops is noticeably inferior to Fang Hao’s.
So naturally she had no reason to refuse.
She directly told her people, “You all stay here and move all this out.”
As Li Rong had more men, they began to get busy.
They packed up the worn-out equipment and transported it out through the bottom of the lake.
Meanwhile,
Fang Hao’s group began entering the cave.
The bare skin could even feel a chill.
They walked right in.
The place full of mushrooms and fungi mats had been trampled into a muddy mess by the Bound Spirit Guards.
By the time they entered, there was no need to worry about these plants releasing any toxic gases.
He ordered people to collect all the shadow stones around.
And directly entered the underground palace.
A football field-sized space was now completely empty.
Empty and desolate, just like a haunted house.
“Spread out, see if there’s anything valuable, and pay special attention to chests.” Fang Hao ordered.
The soldiers immediately spread out and started searching.
Soon, reports came from all around.
“My lord, we’ve found many golden artifacts here.”
“My lord, we’ve also discovered various burial goods here.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Hao inspected the two locations the reports had come from.
He indeed saw many beautifully patterned golden tools, and on the other side, there were gemstones, decayed silk products, and a variety of jars and flasks.
Looking at the designs on them.
Fang Hao frowned, squatting down and picking up a piece of the goldware for a closer inspection.
The patterns on the goldware were still clear and it was evident that the craftsman who made it was of top-notch skill.
However, the patterns on this goldware were familiar to him.
The same patterns could be found on the walls of the Viscera Museum as well as on some of Nelson’s attire.
It was indeed a place of the Undead.
The Undead Clan resembled extreme ascetic monks who believed that the physical world was ephemeral while eternal life was their ultimate pursuit.
The current owner of these burial offerings was likely an Undead of Nelson’s status at the very least.
Otherwise, according to the rules and order of the undead world, these types of objects couldn’t be part of a burial arrangement.
“Look at this, like the proverb about making a wrong turn and saving it by coming out in front of your own house,” muttered Fang Hao.
The initial assumption was that it was a graveyard, where, over time, the corpses had transformed into the undead.
This kind of transformation was most common.
The ancient tomb that Dong Jiayue initially explored was of a human king.
Inside, there were hordes of skeleton soldiers, all transformed into the undead over time.
However, looking at it now, it seemed this place was built by the orthodox Undead themselves.
Li Rong didn’t hear Fang Hao’s remarks clearly and asked subconsciously, “Huh? What dragon temple? Boss, are you saying that this place is a dragon temple?”
Fang Hao returned the goldware, “No, it’s nothing.”
He then looked around at the soldiers, “Have we found any treasure chests?”
“Yes.” Subsequently, a silver chest was lifted over by two soldiers and dropped onto the floor.
Just silver, though.
This disappointed Fang Hao.
Besides, that wasn’t right.
According to the scale and defenses of this underground palace, there should have been more than those seventh-grade guards.
Could it be that he had analyzed it incorrectly?
Were these gold and silver utensils all burial objects for these Bound Spirit Guardians?
Guard what burial!
At this moment, Lorrey ran over quickly, excitedly announcing, “Lord Fang Hao, I’ve found a secret door. There are stairs leading upwards inside.”
Upon hearing this news.
Fang Hao was delighted, the end was not here after all.
There was a second floor.
“Let’s go, let’s check it out.” All the people moved in a formidable array towards the deepest part of this palace layer.
At the dark end, a stone door was opened on the wall.
Inside, there were stone steps extending upwards, with no end in sight.
“Well done.” Fang Hao rubbed Lorrey’s head.
“Hehe!” Lorrey shyly grinned, sticking out his chest, appearing proud for accomplishing a great task.
“Prepare defensive measures here at the entrance, there should be enemies above.”
Demitrija began to make arrangements.
Various obstacles were set up at the door.
Simultaneously, the soldiers formed a semi-circle, guns pointed directly at the stone door.
Fang Hao also constructed two crossbow devices.
After everything was ready, he summoned the Thunder Spirit, which flew directly into the stone door, taking vertical flight up.
It came directly to the entrance of the second floor.
The stone door to the second floor was wide open, and inside was the same wide hall.
Squatting bound spirit guards were arranged neatly.
And at the end of the guards stood a large and burly skeleton.
It was over two meters tall with a rusty sword in its hand. Its armor was damaged, and the cloak behind it was like tattered cloth, laying wide behind it.
The skeleton sat upright on a stone seat behind them all.
It was like a king, or like a general.
Without saying a word, Fang Hao knew that this was most likely a boss.
…
A complete intelligence scout.
Fang Hao controlled the owl directly, hitting it against the body of the frontmost Bound Spirit Guardian.
The spreading electric current made the Bound Spirit Guardian’s body tremble.
Klatch, klatch!!
At the same time, all the kneeling Bound Spirit Guardians raised their heads in unison.
Meanwhile, the giant skeleton at the very end, two blue flames suddenly appeared in its empty pupils.
Roar!!
The giant skeleton roared furiously.
All the Bound Spirit Guardians stood at once, growling and rushing down the stairs.
