Hunter: I'm really not a necromancer

Chapter 336 Breath

The rainy season has arrived in Western Shandong Province, and almost all areas have been covered by showers.

Tarot area.

It was evening, the sky was gloomy and depressing, black clouds were rolling in, and heavy rain was falling.

As far as the eye can see, there are vertical rain lines like curtains.

Where the tomb was excavated.

In the heavy rain, high-power searchlights were set up all around, and the strong light emitted crisscrossed the area near the entrance of the mausoleum, illuminating the place as bright as day.

Near the entrance of the mausoleum, temporary sheds or tents are scattered around in an orderly manner.

People wearing hooded raincoats shuttled between the shacks and tents. Some of them were people responsible for excavating the tomb, but most of them were elite soldiers equipped with sophisticated weapons.

The main revenue of Luxi Kingdom comes from the tourism industry, and the source of attracting tourists is the ruins and mausoleums that carry the history of civilization.

Therefore, the Luxi Kingdom attaches great importance to the excavation and protection of ruins.

In order to enhance the intensity of protection, the Luxi Kingdom invests a large amount of money in military equipment every year.

Whether in the process of excavation of ruins and tombs, or near the ruins and museums open to the public, troops are stationed to guard them day and night.

When necessary, the Lulusi Kingdom will also spend a lot of money to entrust relic hunters to assist in the excavation work.

The recently excavated tombs are actually related to the legendary "Sunset Golden Kingdom".

This attracted great attention from the Luxi Kingdom.

Not only were excavation teams and troops dispatched immediately, but various scenic spots in the Tarot area were also blocked and outsiders were strictly prohibited from entering.

"Satz, this way."

In the tomb passage behind the sealing stone of the mausoleum, a fat man with a gentle face was looking at the ancient characters and murals on the wall of the tomb passage seriously.

Although lighting equipment has been installed, the slightly fat man still wears a headlamp, as if he needs to do this to see more clearly.

The slightly fat man named Quinn is a professional ruins hunter.

The man he called Satz was also a professional ruins hunter.

Satz has short light purple hair, slender eyebrows, and full eyelids. The most eye-catching thing is his slightly curly black beard.

If Moyo were here, he might be able to recognize Satz as the first-level examiner in the hunter test in the original plot by his light purple hair and standard curly beard.

Upon hearing Quinn's call, Satz did not answer, but walked over lightly.

Quinn turned his back to Satz and looked up at a half-broken mural on the wall of the corridor. He could vaguely see that the person on the mural was wearing a mask.

"Satz, look, does this mask... look like the legendary golden mask that Tumon-Katan stole from the Sun God?"

Staring at the incomplete mural, Quinn struggled to suppress the excitement in his heart.

Satz was not as excited as Quinn, and calmly stared at the incomplete mural.

Many places on the mural were peeled off and cracked, revealing the dark stone wall. On top of the still intact mural was a mask with only one-third left.

If you look carefully, you can see a dagger with handguards like wings carved on the side of the mask, vertically penetrating the three-dimensional sphere in the middle. However, the end of the hilt of the dagger is as sharp as the tip of the sword, revealing a dazzling look.

of determination.

The picture carved on the side of the mask is the legendary "Sun Disk" symbol.

Every native of the Luxi Kingdom is familiar with these legends.

But these legends actually evolved from historical texts.

As for the history that can be related to the "Sun Disk", it is undoubtedly the thief Tumon Katan who was once extremely famous in this land.

When talking about Tumonkatan, one will inevitably think of the golden mask Tumonkatan stole from the Sun God.

Satz studied the sun disk pattern on the mask carefully.

According to local historical documents, even if the ancient characters on the stone wall have not yet been deciphered, the origin of this mask mural can be inferred based on this iconic pattern alone.

"It is indeed very possible..."

There was a glint in Satz's eyes.

Such a highly symbolic pattern has always been aloof and cannot be desecrated.

If it is carved on the wall in the corridor of the front tomb, it means that the tomb here is most likely that of Tumon Katan, the thief of the country.

Maybe--

As long as you walk through this corridor, you can see a maze-like corridor.

In the cloister, there are many side rooms where various burial objects are placed, which makes people stop.

When you finally set your sights elsewhere, you will soon reach the ditch where a large number of victims were buried.

What finally appears in front of you will be the Hades Palace on the high platform connected to the dark chains.

And within the Hades Palace is where Tumon-Katan's coffin is placed, as well as the golden mask of the Sun God that countless people are flocking to.

Satz was thinking a lot. He slowly looked towards the end of the corridor and could see the light emanating from the end.

The light comes from the lighting equipment brought in by the excavation team.

The reason why he and Quinn did not follow up was because the commission issued by Lu Luxi Kingdom was to repair the tomb.

Therefore, their main task is to find ways to repair the broken murals on the stone walls of the corridor, rather than to accompany the inspection team to excavate the tomb in depth.

If the current situation allowed, Satz actually wanted to go deep into the tomb and see with his own eyes Tumon-Katan's Hades and the legendary Sun God Mask.

"Satz, Satz..."

Quinn's call brought Satz back from his unrealistic thoughts.

"Satz, we don't have the authority to accompany you on excavations. You must not mess around. If you cross the line and break the rules, we will not only lose this rare and precious job, but we may also receive the highest level of complaints."

Quinn seemed to see through Satz's thoughts and quickly lowered his voice to remind him a few words.

Satz nodded towards Quinn, indicating that he would not mess around.

Quinn didn't say anything after seeing this, but had already begun to think about how to repair the surrounding past that could not withstand the erosion of time.

In the past, Satz was a ruins hunter who only wanted to gain fame and prestige in the industry.

But now, after being influenced by Jin, he is no longer obsessed with fame, but wants to devote himself to the protection and restoration of various ruins as a professional ruins hunter.

Satz suppressed his unfavorable thoughts about the current work and continued to walk forward, his eyes glancing at the lifelike relief above the stone of the corridor gate.

Repair is not easy, the first thing to do is careful observation.

suddenly--

Satz's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes suddenly dropped, and he looked at the light source at the end of the corridor again.

Different from the expectations just now, there is a little more surprise and uncertainty in the eyes looking at the end of the corridor.

Because he suddenly felt an ominous atmosphere coming from the depths of the mausoleum.

The aura was like a fire rising in the wind, going from weak to strong in an instant.

"That is……"

As a ruin hunter, Satz knew that this aura was a common after-death thought in various mausoleum ruins.

But this was the first time that Satz encountered an afterlife thought that could go from weak to strong in an instant.

Even though they were so far apart, they could still clearly feel the threat of that ominous aura.

What happened inside?

Satz reflexively took out his right foot, wanting to rush into the depths of the mausoleum to check the situation.

"Satz!"

Quinn reached out his right hand in time to hold Satz's shoulder and said quickly:

"If even the gentleman from Lulu Xiguo can't deal with it, then even if you and I rush in, we won't be able to change anything. Instead, we will still be held accountable!"

"I know very well what the consequences will be, but my violation may save more staff on site from the threat of that smell."

Satz calmly shook his shoulders, shaking off Quinn's hand on his shoulders.

Quinn frowned.

Of course he could also discern the intensity of that aura, which could undoubtedly threaten the lives of ordinary people.

But he cares more about doing his job well rather than recklessly breaking the rules.

Moreover, deep in the mausoleum, there is also the Lu Luxi Kingdom's famous Master of Nianzhu in the field of ruins. Even if something happens inside, it is not the two of them's turn to worry about it.

Quinn is very rational, or in other words, he regards the entrustment within his job as more important than the lives of ordinary people, so naturally he cannot agree with Satz's behavior.

What's more important is that the two of them don't know how to eliminate thoughts, and their abilities in all aspects are not as good as that of the mind-eliminating master...

Quinn insisted on his opinion, but gave up the idea of ​​stopping Satz.

Satz did not look at Quinn, and his figure flew deep into the corridor like a swallow.

But he suddenly stopped after flying dozens of meters away.

"Um?"

Satz was still looking at the light source deep in the corridor in surprise.

The intensity of the ominous aura that I felt was rapidly weakening.

"It should be Mr. Hellam who suppressed the thoughts of death."

Quinn looked past Satz's back to the light source at the end of the corridor, and said calmly: "This is why I stopped you, Satz."

"..."

Satz was speechless. As he stared ahead, he felt the weakening changes in the ominous aura.

After confirming that the threat level of this aura dropped to the bottom, he silently withdrew his gaze.

It seems that Mr. Hellam really took action to suppress this unknown thought of death.

Satz shook his head slightly.

He is very aware of Mr. Hram's achievements in the field of ruins, and also knows that Mr. Hram has strong strength and the ability to eliminate thoughts.

But his behavior just now was not because he felt that Mr. Hellam could not cope with the changes, but because he wanted to reduce the threat level faced by the on-site staff.

But I didn't expect Mr. Hellam to be able to control the situation so quickly.

Seeing that Satz was silent, Quinn changed the subject very wisely and said: "It would be great if every ruin hunter could learn the ability to eliminate thoughts."

"So that can only be what if."

Satz replied and turned his attention to his work again.

The corner of Quinn's mouth twitched slightly.

I still like the old you better, Satz...

Quinn sighed slightly in his heart.

There was silence inside the mausoleum, but heavy rain poured outside the mausoleum.

Mountain forests in the distance.

There are nine figures of different sizes stationed here, but they are the core members of the Elimo Thief Group.

Their eyes passed through the heavy rain curtain and looked at the group of shacks and tents in the distance that were as bright as day.

One of them put his right hand in a circle in front of his eyes and looked at the bright light in the distance. He clicked his tongue and said, "Tsk, it's heavily guarded... It seems like something incredible has been dug up."

"What good thing could it be? Why don't we do it now?"

Some people are so eager to give it a try that they can hardly hold themselves back.

"No hurries."

A slightly hoarse voice said: "We can wait until those people below bring out all the treasures before we start. This is a rare free labor. Cherish it, you bastards."

"I'm afraid things will change if it's too late."

Someone reminded me.

But others didn't really care.

Although the army stationed near the excavation site has the strength and firepower to occupy a city, they are fully capable of wiping it out without engaging in frontal combat.

Compared with this, what needs to be paid more attention to is the very few telepathy users who may exist in the army, and the ability user named Heram who excavated many ruins and tombs for Lulu Xiguo.

Since the Lulusi Kingdom will send heavy troops to guard this excavation, it is 100% certain that Hram will also be at the excavation site.

"You can wait and see what happens, but it is also necessary to make some preparations first."

In the wind and rain, a calm voice stirred the thoughts of everyone present, causing everyone to look at the owner of the voice involuntarily.

There is no other reason——

The person who spoke was none other than Milo Laux, the founder of the Elimo Thief Group, a leading wolf with an unshakable leadership position.

"Now that I'm here..."

Milo slowly glanced around the crowd, with a chilling smile on his handsome face, and said: "Then you should understand one thing, I will not allow failure."

"..."

Accompanied by the fleeting lightning, everyone bowed their heads to Milo to express their understanding.

On a muddy road.

Moyou, Xiaodi and Menqi were wearing raincoats and walking side by side on the muddy road.

In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Moyu chose to get off the bus in a town closest to the Taluo blockade area, and then walked to the Taluo area instead.

Walking in the rain is nothing to those with mindfulness abilities.

Stepping through the muddy puddles along the way, Moyu and the other three moved very quickly.

When passing a trail, Mo You suddenly stopped, attracting the attention of Xiao Di and Men Qi.

"There is a situation."

Moyu looked at the weeds on the edge of the path. There were several stones covered with green moss, placed together in a messy manner.

Following Moyu's line of sight, Xiaodi and Menqi also looked at the moss-covered stones, but found nothing.

In view of their trust in Moyu, they even mobilized their minds to focus on their eyes, but still found nothing.

But Moyu walked straight to the stones.

It wasn't because of my mind or breath that I noticed these stones, or because I sensed some threat, but...

He could feel an extremely weak sense of presence from these stones.

Like breathing, like heartbeat, like the sense of existence constructed by things like magnetic field.

Moyu was surprised, slowly squatted down, switched the flashlight to his left hand, and then stretched out his right hand to brush off the moss on the rocks.

As the moss fell away, a series of square and circuit board-like patterns were revealed on the surface of the stone.

"Um?"

A strange color flashed across Moyu's eyes.

Xiaodi came over and asked curiously: "What is this?"

"Divine word."

Moyu replied, then shined his flashlight on the stone covered with divine characters.

I originally thought that the divine characters engraved on the stone might have a long history, but...

After some observation, Moyu found that the engraving marks of the "divine characters" were very new, and the senses were completely different from the last time the divine characters were seen in the unknown ruins.

Maybe it was engraved here a few years ago, or maybe it was engraved more than ten years ago.

so--

Who carved these divine words here?

What effect can it have?

It can't be something left by some bored guy who is proficient in divine words, right?

Moyu was puzzled.

The word "divine" appears in many places in the original work, but there is little ink.

It wasn't until the Greedy Island chapter that it really showed its face. It was an ability that could be used to assist and enhance the effect of telekinesis.

The box that Jin left to Xiaojie can only be activated and opened using "Thinking", and there are also many divine words engraved on the inside.

It can be seen from this——

The Divine Word not only has the effect of auxiliary enhancement, but can also ignore a certain distance and seal the effect of telekinesis on the object carrying the Divine Word.

The Greedy Island game created by Jin and his companions, on top of the overall framework, most likely also relied on the ability effect of the "Divine Word".

But other than that, the presence of divine characters in the original work is very weak.

This technology, like "circle", is difficult to master, and its value in actual combat is not high.

so--

People with telekinesis usually don't spend energy and time improving the accuracy of "circles", so they can't waste their lives on "divine characters" that are more difficult to master.

This may be one of the fundamental reasons why the "divine word" is not very prominent in the original work.

Of course, the possibility of “too few learning channels” cannot be ruled out.

But it is this kind of thing that has no sense of existence in the mind system, but it is used by Jin freely and turned into a very valuable technology.

Moyu is still very interested in "Divine Words".

After all, that trip to the hunter test site allowed him to experience firsthand the beauty of the "Divine Word".

It's just that there is no channel for learning, otherwise he would have come into contact with the divine characters long ago.

If you can learn and master the divine words...

Even if it takes him a few years, he is willing to do it.

"Master."

Menqi was also observing the divine characters on the stones and whispered: "This graffiti-like pattern is the same as what we saw in the ruins last time. At that time, we were teleported to the ruins. It seemed like this pattern.

The ability to be stimulated, right?”

"Um."

Moyu nodded.

Although it was thought after death that activated the ability of the divine word in the ruins, the power of thought under normal conditions can also be used as a switch to activate the divine word.

That is to say——

As long as you pour your mind into the divine words on these stones, an unknown ability may be stimulated.

Moyu was very curious about the origin of the divine words on these stone slabs.

But with the lessons learned from that trip to the ruins, Moyu slowly stopped thinking about pouring his mind power into the sacred characters on the stone.

At this moment, he was more concerned about his ability to sense the presence of the divine characters in stones.

Does this mean...

Does he have a talent for divine writing?

I went to the clinic for an anti-inflammatory injection and some medicine.

I wrote a 5,000-word chapter first, and now I’m going to lie down.

As soon as you can wake up, continue doing it.
