The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

A wide enough road, with countless wall lamps installed on the stone walls on both sides. The blue flames are burning quietly, as if they have never changed, creating a weird and terrifying atmosphere.

On both sides of the road, every short distance, you can see a pile of rusty and discarded armor weapons, and scattered piles of dry soil.

Joyce could imagine such a scene.

The loyal soldiers were sealed in the soil. After a long period of evolution, their lives have long since disappeared, and they escaped from the seal for unknown reasons, but they still insist on guarding this underground palace...

Until the stone door was opened from the outside, these long-dead soldiers fearlessly rushed towards the enemy to prevent them from breaking in...

Joyce expressed his judgment: "This is a tomb."

"I think so." Robinson's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing anything: "Those living corpses and ghosts just now were obviously infiltrated by the power of the dead... That power can survive to this day, indicating that the sequence of the owners of the tomb must be

Not low……"

In the constant communication between the two, the road under their feet slowly came to an end, without encountering any danger again, and it was so peaceful that it was heart-stopping.

It was an empty hall, with a sarcophagus in the center, but the lid of the coffin was open.

At the bottom of the sarcophagus, a lifelike carved feathered snake tightly surrounds it, with the snake's head pointing towards the inside of the sarcophagus.

As if feeling the breath of a stranger intruding, a snake head in an illusory state slowly raised, its deep eyes seemed to be connected to hell, cold, crazy, chaotic...

"careful."

The two of them exclaimed at the same time and avoided the gaze of the feathered snake, thus avoiding the end of their bodies gradually becoming stiff.

Under the spiritual vision state, he discovered that although the stone snake was motionless, an illusory feathered snake was roaring upwards to the sky, emitting a chilling aura.

Then, the feathered serpent's bloody mouth opened, and continuous transparent shadows flew out from it, as if its body was connected to the underworld.

The "gatekeeper" of sequence five... Joyce guessed, then raised his right hand and activated "Star Reaching", successfully stealing two extraordinary abilities.

The "Language of the Dead" can bypass the protection of flesh and blood, communicate and even drive spirits.

The spirit here has no body, so it should be easier to communicate... Joyce thought, he opened his mouth and made a sound that he didn't understand at all.

But this was not the case. The ghost flying out of the feathered serpent's mouth paused briefly, as if hesitating for something... Two seconds later, a small half of the ghosts accepted Joyce's drive, while more ghosts continued to attack the two.

.

However, this pause is not useless.

Robinson on the other side used the spells attached to the "Sun Cloak", "Summon Holy Light" and "Fire of Light", and at the same time emitted a "Sun Halo" to delay the ghost's actions.

The two successfully dealt with the first wave of offensive, but before they could take a breath, the second wave came immediately.

He uttered the "Language of the Dead" again and ordered himself to drive the successful ghost towards his former companion, and the two began to bite each other violently...Joyce came to Robinson in a flash and said quickly:

"The feathered serpent cannot leave the coffin too far. As long as the snake-shaped stone sculpture it possesses is shattered, it will immediately return to the underworld."

"Death Eyes", through observation, can find the weaknesses of unfamiliar undead creatures and spiritual creatures. It is another ability stolen just using "Star Reaching".

This is precisely how Joyce was able to discover the opponent's weaknesses in such a short period of time.

While Robinson used the magic of the sun domain to kill the invading ghost, he asked urgently: "But how are we going to get there?"

This feathered snake is obviously not a normal "gatekeeper". Its attack method is very single, but it is effective enough. The ghosts in its body seem to be endless, enough to prevent intruding enemies from breaking through such a tight attack network and approaching the sarcophagus.

However, since Joyce proposed this solution, he naturally had it in mind. He asked:

"I need you to block all ghosts for three seconds, can you do it?"

Robinson thought quickly in his mind and made a judgment: "Okay."

"But in case you don't succeed, I will be forced to exit the hall, in which case you will be attacked by all the ghosts alone."

The "notarization" between the two people was enough to prove that they were trustworthy. Joyce had no time to hesitate and responded immediately:

"Now."

While talking, he took off "Reach for the Stars" and threw it on the ground.

The consequences of this caused the ghosts who were originally killing each other to quickly change their targets. Robinson did not know what method he used to attract all the ghosts to him, but he seemed to be in danger.

Joyce did not pause. After taking down "Reaching for the Stars", the abilities of other magical items quickly recovered, including the "Magician's Ring" on his left hand.

I saw a series of firelights flashing through, forming a straight line, ending in the sarcophagus in the center of the hall.

A figure suddenly appeared here, Joyce raised his hands high, holding the "Oath-Breaking Blade" tightly... the "Oath-Breaking Blade" in the shape of a giant hammer.

The feathered serpent in the illusory state saw this and rushed towards Joyce, trying to swallow him into his mouth.

Unfortunately, it's a little late.

The giant hammer hit the stone snake, making a "rumbling" sound, and the statue broke into several pieces.

Along with this, the feathered snake let out a scream of unknown meaning, and the pain and anger contained in it could be vaguely heard, and it quickly dissipated invisible.

Joyce flashed back to Robinson again, retrieved "Reach for the Stars", and helped him eliminate the remaining ghosts.

The ghost that lost its master became much weaker, like a rootless tree, and was quickly purified.

Robinson breathed a deep sigh of relief, and at the same time he felt very happy that he had met Joyce. This guy was terrifyingly strong... no, I should say terrifyingly rich!

The "Nightmare Necklace", the magical item with the "Fire Stealer" ability, the "Flash of Flames", and that sledgehammer...

This guy can't be the biological son of some demigod...

"Any questions?" Joyce asked, noticing that the other person was lost in thought.

Robinson waved his hand hurriedly: "Nothing, the danger has been passed, and now it's time to check the harvest."

"To be able to deploy such strong protective measures, the owner of the tomb is likely to be a high-sequence expert..."

However, when he saw the situation in the sarcophagus, his thoughts suddenly stopped because there was no body inside.

It's not like it was nothing. The bottom of the coffin was covered with a layer of gold jewelry. It looked very old and should be worth a lot of money.

"Where are the extraordinary characteristics? Where are the magical items? Why are there nothing?"

Robinson rummaged around randomly and murmured, but unfortunately there was only gold...

"Come and see the mural on this wall."

Joyce stood in front of the wall of the hall and said to Robinson, who looked disappointed.
