Noble Emblem

Elf Ancient Tomb... Hearing this word, everyone in the Cold Wind Mercenary Group's eyes went straight.

Almost everyone knows what this word means.

Because there is no continuous historical record, they don't understand why the ancient tombs of elves appear on human land, and they don't want to understand. But they know one thing. There is usually a lot of wealth in the ancient tombs of elves. Even if there are no jewelry, it is just art sculptures or magic props left over from the past. If you sell any one of them, it will be sold at a high price.

"No wonder you are willing to hire us at such a high price." Shalin smiled helplessly: "It turns out to be an elven tomb. Indeed, hiring us is the best choice."

Beta flicked his fingers, and the fossil was used for mud magic. The land in front of it quickly softened, and then piled up around it, and a dark hole appeared in front of everyone.

"Why, do you regret it?" Beta asked while casting the spell.

Shalin shook his head: "The magic contract has been signed, so don't mention regrets. Besides, we are very grateful that you are willing to hire us and pull us out of the quagmire. We don't want to do anything ungrateful. At least I don’t want to do it now.”

The eyes of the other team members were still a little greedy, but after hearing these words, their eyes gradually cleared up.

Beta threw a lighting ball in, and then said with a smile: "I don't know if there is any wealth in this ancient tomb. It is still too early to say that there will be a big harvest."

Everyone in the Cold Wind Mercenary Group felt that it made sense when they heard this.

Under the bright light of the lighting ball, there was a stone staircase below the cave. Shalin took a look and said: "The three-one-three formation, the old rules."

The six people immediately surrounded Beta in the middle. Then, with Beta's nod of approval, Shalin personally walked in the front row and led everyone down.

After entering the cave, Beta first gave everyone a self-breathing technique, and then gave everyone a group poison prevention technique.

The ancient elven tomb is nearly ten thousand years old now, and no one dares to guarantee what kind of toxins there will be in the air inside.

Feeling the effects of these two magics, everyone in the Cold Wind Mercenary Group looked at Beta's expression with admiration.

Many mercenary magicians usually only use a small amount of magic, and they use offensive magic as an aid. Beta has now shown signs that he knows a lot of magic, whether it is teleportation, turning mud into mud, or just now These two magics are essentially unpopular magics.

He can even use unpopular magic, so he must be able to use such commonly used magic.

Beta flicked his fingers, and the hole was closed again, giving the impression of isolating reality from the dream world.

The illuminating light ball floated slowly, Shalin took a deep breath and followed.

The underground world is silent. In addition to the footsteps, everyone can hear breathing, heartbeat, and even the faint sound of clothes rubbing against the skin. It seems that they can hear it.

The silent road always gives people the illusion that time is very long.

Shalin and the others walked along Shisongsheng in a winding way. He felt that he had walked for a long time, at least one kilometer. But he still didn't see the end, and he couldn't help but feel guilty. Many supernatural stories about tomb robbing came to his mind for some reason, and his scalp felt numb at the moment.

The rest of the Cold Wind Mercenary Group felt almost the same way.

But in reality, they walked down less than two hundred meters.

Beta is very calm. He is not even afraid of gods, so how could he be afraid of mere tombs? Even if there are undead creatures, to him, they are just ordinary 'monsters', the kind that can gain experience points by killing them. He also wished there were more undead creatures in this tomb.

There are murals painted on both sides of the stone staircase.

These murals were originally colored, but over time, the paint had evaporated, leaving only some gray and white stone reliefs.

Most of these murals depict scenes from the period when the elves ruled humans, with towering city walls, magnificent magic towers, and... tiny humans crawling on the ground.

This was not Beta's first time exploring ancient elven tombs. When he was a mercenary, he had explored several tombs before, but they had all been robbed. He could not find anything good. He only found some abandoned works of art. But even so , those artworks can also be sold for a small amount of money.

Each elven tomb will have similar murals, but the style of the murals varies depending on the owner of the tomb. But they all have the exquisite and gorgeous exaggerated style of the ancient elves.

However, this elven tomb was different from the ones Beta had explored before. After walking for a few more minutes, Beta discovered that the content of the murals began to change. There were no longer humans in the murals. Instead, the ones crawling on the ground were elves, who were kneeling in worship. of a faceless woman.

Jungle goddess?

Beta thought it was a bit unlikely, because the forest goddess he knew seemed to be flat...but the faceless goddess in front of him had a pair of exaggerated breasts.

So who are these elves kneeling before? world Tree?

Even more impossible. The elves are very proficient in the art of painting. The painting masters among them can draw a person's temperament. Although the goddess in front of her has no face, she is full of a fierce temperament.

The world tree is in the concept of the elves, but the mother has maternal qualities. Her portraits always highlight the gentle temperament, and it is impossible to have such a fierce temperament.

Back then, the Jialan Temple Guild excavated this ancient tomb and obtained a lot of wealth and magic items from it, but they never said there was anything strange about this tomb.

Are they not interested in Murong's origins, or are they deliberately... hiding something?

Beta froze in front of the largest mural. This was a platform with stairs just now. Beta waved his hand to let them rest. After all, the Cold Wind Mercenary Group seemed to be entering the elven tomb for the first time, and they were very nervous. Although The walk didn't take long, but they had already spent a lot of energy.

Beta estimates that there should be a mechanism further down. Taking a break at this time should help them calm down their nervousness and restore some strength.

Sure enough, after resting for a while, their emotions became much more stable.

The next seven people continued walking down, and just as Beta expected, within three minutes of walking, they arrived at the bottom of Mu Cave, the real entrance. Instead of going further down, they start moving forward parallel.

From here on, the murals disappeared and traps and traps appeared.

The thief in the Cold Wind Mercenary Group is very strong. He has discovered and cracked almost all the mechanisms, except for two magic mechanisms.

One of the thieves was not noticed and was directly touched. Fortunately, Beta was very sensitive to magic fluctuations and directly grabbed the thieves by the collar and dragged him back. Otherwise, he would have turned into an ice sculpture and would have been dead.

The thieves found the second magic trap but couldn't break it, so Beta took action to solve the trap.

The short distance of 300 meters took them six hours due to traps and traps. Many challenges require the cooperation of several people to solve them.

After they cracked all the traps, they came to two gray stone doors.

The stone gate is at least ten meters high and two meters wide on the left and right sides.

Looking at a few ancient Elvish words on the stone door, Beta had some knowledge of Ancient Elvish. Although he was not very proficient in it, these words were not difficult to understand. When translated, this is what they meant.

‘My name is Kokoyala, this is my resting place, please do not disturb me. ’

Behind these two doors, there were faint fluctuations of undead creatures.

Shalin touched the stone door and took a breath: "This should be the center of the tomb behind this. I don't know what will be inside."

Although according to the contract, their Cold Wind Mercenary Group cannot take away anything inside, this does not prevent them from being curious and yearning for what is behind these two doors.

"Let's take a rest." Beta took out some water and dry food from the mansion's magic space: "Eat something and sleep for a while before going in. I think it's best for you to sleep for a while."

"No, eating something is enough."

Shalin sat down. He also knew very well that the older the tomb, the greater the chance of undead creatures appearing, and the owners of elven tombs would almost always be transformed into undead creatures.

Seeing the captain sitting down, the other mercenaries also sat down and estimated that they were indeed a little tired.

After resting for two hours, everyone stood up, and seven people worked together to push open the stone door.

The bottom of the stone door rubbed against the ground, making a rattling sound that echoed in the emptiness and silence.

The two doors were pushed open, and Beta controlled the lighting ball to float in. Then, he saw colorful light refracted.

The tomb behind the door is not too big. It is about eleven meters high and about twenty meters long and wide. However, a two-meter-high pile of gems appears in front of everyone. Those colorful lights are these gems. of reflection.

"This is really... amazing wealth."

Shalin murmured to himself, and everyone in the Cold Wind Mercenary Group was lost in the luster of the gems.

Beta was an exception. He looked at a sarcophagus guarded by these piles of gems.

Elves come from the World Tree. If the ancient elves die unexpectedly, they cannot turn into trees. For this reason, they will let people put their bodies into wooden coffins. They only use wooden coffins, and coffins made of other materials are not suitable for them. , no different from heresy.

But here is a sarcophagus.

Black sarcophagus.

It was as black as the lightless sea surface, and the thick aura of the undead came out of the sarcophagus.

Without thinking, Beta threw a scroll from the magic space of the mansion and tore it open. The entire tomb was filled with light, like daytime.

The aura of death coming out of the sarcophagus became lighter now.

"Your Excellency." Shalin looked at Beta: "There are so many things here...you can't finish moving them. Can you give us a little bit, not much, just a little bit."

The contract restricted them and they couldn't take anything away, but if Beta gave it to him on his own initiative, that was another matter.

Beta made a pause gesture and stared at the sarcophagus. He seemed to have seen the sarcophagus move slightly just now.
