Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Chapter 33 Immortal Guardian

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

The footsteps and the sound of water dripping are the only sounds in this ancient mausoleum.

An eerie tranquility filled the entire mausoleum, and dim lights one after another guided Luo Xiu's direction.

In the dim corridor, water droplets seeped through the gaps in the stone wall and fell on the swords of the giant statues on both sides.

Under the dim light, one can vaguely see the mottled traces of water erosion on the surface of the stone-chiselled sword.

However, they still maintain the complete appearance of the statues and have not collapsed due to erosion.

During the Age of Gods, which was tens of millions of years ago...their carving skills were indeed very superb...

…

While thinking this, Luo Xiu came to the door of a stone room.

Pushing open the door, billows of smoke and dust filled the air, and a smell of decay hit his nostrils, making Luo Xiu frown.

Taking a step forward, a "click-click" sound came back from the soles of my feet, as well as the feeling of something crisping.

Looking down, he saw a skull that had been trampled half down.

And as the smoke and dust dissipated, his vision returned to clearness, and Luo Xiu could see clearly——

The whole stone room was filled with skeletons!

"Is this... the bone burial room...?" Luo Xiu's thoughts changed slightly and he looked at the neatly arranged skeletons.

These skeletons are all humanoid skeletons, and the differences in some subtle features can identify them as being from humans, elves, or orcs.

These skeletons have different colors. Through the yellowing, gray matter, and whitish skeletons, we can roughly judge the time of their death.

But even though the colors of these skeletons are different and the time of death is far apart, they all have one characteristic in common -

Their skeletons, corresponding to the fatal vital parts of the human body, are without exception pierced with rusty swords, broken swords and halberd blades;

Their bones were broken, and almost all of them showed large cracks!

This made Luo Xiu couldn't help but come up with a very scary conjecture...

The enemies they had faced not only had great power that could kill them almost with one blow...

This means even more - the owners of these skeletons were all killed with brutal means and then dragged here to finish their work!

Because otherwise, it would have been impossible to arrange these bones so neatly, and it would have been impossible for these rusted weapons to remain on the corpses...

Luo Xiu felt a chill running down his spine when he thought that the monster he was about to face would actually hit him last.

If someone enters here by mistake, and the monster guarding them just beats the intruder to death and then leaves, then this person still has a chance to survive.

But if the monster can do last-hitting, the nature is completely different...

If, once being completely suppressed in the battle, there is no chance to run away.

Death will become the most merciful and only ending.

In his previous life, Luo Xiu also followed an indigenous NPC on a similar mission to explore ancient seals, and such a tragedy happened at that time.

"..."

Luo Xiu frowned. In such an environment, his rich experience made him more cautious.

He gathered his mind and began to sense the spiritual tide that was constantly sweeping deep in the mausoleum.

In a daze, he seemed to hear the sound of heavy armors hitting each other, steel boots and solid stone ground hitting each other.

Bang-dang, bang-dang, bang-dang, bang-dang...

…

There was something, dragging an extremely heavy object, slowly but unstoppably coming in his direction.

After thinking calmly, Luo Xiu stood up and gently walked out of the bone burial room.

Luo Xiu's eyes had become firmer than ever before.

As a master player of "God's Destiny" in his previous life, running away before fighting was never his style.

Now that we are here, we must at least have a fight first...

Even if you can't defeat them, you still have to get enough information before retreating.

And the strength of his skills at this time, coupled with Intis and Fenrir's... even if he can't defeat him, it shouldn't be difficult to escape unscathed!

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu cheered up and continued walking deeper into the mausoleum.

…

On the [Limited Time Mission] panel, time is passing bit by bit.

At a certain moment, when Luo Xiu came to an empty hanging hall.

The biting chill, accompanied by the overwhelming murderous intent, was like a sudden hurricane, sweeping towards Luo Xiu!

[You have encountered the "Immortal Rider" Greville]

【……】

At the end of Luo Xiu's field of vision, he finally saw the figure swept by the violent spirituality——

It was a knight covered in armor.

The armor he wore was tight and slender in shape, but nearly half of the armor surface was rusted and the other half was full of cracks.

From the rusty nail surface, unknown ancient lines cling like vines; while from the cracks on the other half, a dark and ominous black air is constantly emitting;

His back curved downward, like a tight bowstring. Under the half-damaged helmet, two scarlet light spots kept flashing and floating, giving people unspeakable terror;

He was lying on his knees, grabbing the ground with his left hand, and holding a long, narrow and thick knife in the shape of a hound that exuded a chilling feeling in his right hand, approaching slowly and firmly like a wild beast.

Bang-dang, bang-dang, bang-dang, bang-dang...

…

A huge sense of oppression has already enveloped Luo Xiu's head.

The Immortal Rider was slowly approaching, still nearly twenty meters away from Luo Xiu.

At this time, they were facing each other on the empty hanging palace, and there was only a floating bridge for the way in and the passage to the depths.

Luo Xiu walked along the edge of the hanging palace, negotiating with the Undead Rider.

He could feel that the closer the Undead Rider got, the heavier and more stagnant the air became.

As if guided, the Undead Rider would always move in the direction of Luo Xiu, but the sight of the two scarlet eyes would not deviate significantly with Luo Xiu's movements.

Is it nearsighted...?

Luo Xiu couldn't help but think that Luo Xiu had encountered many similar monsters that were half-blind and relied purely on perception in his previous life.

When Luo Xiu found a suitable angle and distance, he threw a detection at the Undead Rider.

The panel flashed and gave feedback. Luo Xiu glanced at it and caught the most important data.

He saw at first glance a key attribute of "Undead Rider - Grieville" -

It actually has a "agility" of up to 32 points!

This means that it is not as slow as it looks!

As soon as he thought of this, Luo Xiu's expression instantly tensed up, and he was completely on high alert.

At the same time.

The sight of the Immortal Knight suddenly twisted, and he looked directly in the direction of Luo Xiu!

In the next moment, the figure of the Immortal Knight disappeared from his sight.

Luo Xiu suddenly smelled a pungent smell of rust.

Then he saw——

"The Immortal Knight——Greville" had instantly appeared in front of him!
