In fact, Ansu, who is associated with death and betrayal, is a very dangerous existence for Lu Cang.

Having planned his route in this life, Lu Cang naturally also studied which nemesis he would encounter.

The combat strength in the illusionary realm cannot be judged solely by its intensity.

A relationship of restraint is often more important than pure combat strength.

In his previous life, Lu Cang identified several entities that best suited his current path.

One of them is Ansu.

The position of the God of Death is itself a position with extremely high combat power.

In addition, there was the betrayal of the divine position.

It can be described as an ability to specifically restrain oneself.

If members of the guild are affected by it and directly defect from the guild, Lu Cang's strength will plummet.

Of course... exercise of restraint does not mean that this approach is flawed.

In my previous life, when I played as a lone wolf, there were quite a few enemies who could counter my abilities.

Especially Zhu Ya.

A pure light shone down, and the Infinite Illusion talent instantly became useless.

I can't activate the illusion, and I can't use any of the shadow abilities either.

That was incredibly frustrating.

In the end, Lu Cang concluded that no matter what he played, he would be restrained.

Zhu Yake himself played the Shadow Assassin route.

If one chooses a different path, there will naturally be other authorities to restrain them.

To deal with these forms of restraint, it's best to be more varied. The more varied you are, the fewer angles from which you can be restrained.

Moreover, just as there are situations where others restrain oneself, there are also situations where one restrains others.

However... even if we take precautions in all aspects.

This Ansu, rife with death and betrayal, remains his number one nemesis.

Fortunately, he knew in advance that the other party was his nemesis, and Lu Cang had done a lot of homework on him in his previous life.

The purity of the heart is not merely for guarding against the white moon of the heart or the posture of the seven sins.

At the same time, it was also to guard against Ansu.

There are quite a few things in the illusionary world that can affect one's mind.

Every instance and every path Lu Cang has walked so far has been a path he absolutely had to take.

Of course, the same was true in the previous life.

Even if you take all the known and all the necessary items along a single route, and fully utilize all available resources, you still can't defeat those true gods in the end.

This is enough to show just how extraordinary the combat power at the highest level in the Illusionary Realm is.

"It's earlier than I expected." Lu Cang hadn't expected to encounter something related to An Su here.

"An unexpected route, but thankfully it happened after obtaining the Pure Heart." Lu Cang pondered in his mind and adjusted the route based on what had happened.

"Brave and fearless, Leng Qingying, Xiu Mi, Bai Lu, Zu Ya... Hmm, they should all be fine."

Currently, under Lu Cang's care, everyone in the guild feels completely at ease.

Basically, there's nothing missing or regrettable.

They have money, they have fun, and they can broaden their horizons.

Besides, they are inexperienced and don't have any deep-seated attachments to demonic possession.

The only one in the guild who was somewhat fanatical was Xiumi's faith in Luluwei.

If Ansu cannot distort and influence them on a psychological level.

It's practically impossible for them to sway you with mere linguistic temptation.

"However, the monsters here are too weak, meow."

Xiumi casually fired an arrow, killing dozens of monsters with tens of millions of health points nearby.

Being with Cang Qiong always involves fighting in extremely difficult dungeons or restricted areas. It feels strange to switch to fighting ordinary monsters in the wild.

"Really? Actually, these monsters are quite powerful, it's just that you're stronger," Cang Qiong replied casually.

"Seriously...does she have to be so good at praising people, meow?" Xiu Mi muttered.

This made her a little embarrassed.

Lu Cang and the others did not rush, but moved at a leisurely pace.

These underground labyrinths are often accompanied by traps.

If Lu Cang had been here in his previous life, riding around on horseback wouldn't have been a problem.

But Lu Cang has never been here before, so he still needs to be a little careful.

Meanwhile, Lu Cang was also waiting for Zu Ya and Bai Lu to finish dealing with things over there.

Bai Lu is still grinding the Despair dungeon. After accepting the quest, she ran three dungeons in a row and has already taken the lead in level.

The team members led by Bai Lu have already leveled up significantly.

Zuya's test will also take some time.

The further you progress, the more you'll need Zul'Gurub. Without tanks to hold the line, squishy characters like us can easily die without warning, and those unavoidable AoE damages are becoming increasingly common.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Lu Cang can also assume the responsibilities of Zu Ya.

However, the phantom cannot withstand damage; if damage is to be truly absorbed, only Lu Cang's true body can withstand it.

"President Cangcang, there's a skeleton over there that looks like you can communicate with it," Xiumi said, pointing into the distance.

"Yes, I saw it."

Not far away, there was a skeleton wearing tattered armor standing outside the largest hall.

Its information is different from that of the other skeletons.

[The Obsessive Old Skeleton – Luo Lu]

[Level: 30]

Health Points: 5300/5300

[Description: A skeleton waiting outside the main hall, seemingly still burdened by some unresolved obsession.]

Unlike those monsters that are level 70 or 80 with tens of millions of HP.

It looks ridiculously weak.

More importantly, its information isn't of the strange type; it's clearly an NPC found on the roadside.

"There's even a mission here."

This clearly indicates that there are tasks available to be taken.

That tomb raider... just how many things are still hidden from him?

The vast underground space, the underground temple of Ansu, the traitorous Luluwei, the ninth chosen one of the gods, and now this old skeleton in front of me who looks like he has a mission to issue.

Every single piece of information was crucial, yet the information that the tomb raider provided was simply that the space was a bit large?

Thinking of this, Lu Cang suddenly became furious.

Those 100 Brilliant Enhancement Stones I used back then were no small sum of money.

Although it happened in his past life, Lu Cang still felt uneasy about it whenever he thought about it.

In his third life, Lu Cang didn't suffer many setbacks.

Now, this tomb raider has had his turn.

Lu Cang's face darkened slightly, and he ordered, "On the way, take everything you see, don't leave a single thing behind. Whether it's silver or iron equipment, even a single copper coin, take it all."

Upon hearing Lu Cang's instructions, the fearless warrior scratched his head: "Uh? Boss... we're not that poor, are we?"

"Guild leader, has our guild run out of money?" Leng Qingying asked hesitantly.

Did Lu Cang use up all his gold coins somewhere?

"No, our guild is very rich, but not a single thing can be left here. If your backpack can't hold it all, go back to the guild and throw everything into the guild warehouse."

"If the warehouse can't hold it all, just throw it on the ground. No matter what, don't leave a single hair behind," Lu Cang commanded solemnly.

"Understood, boss!" Although the fearless warrior didn't know why Lu Cang had given this order, since his boss had said so, there must be a reason.

Leng Qingying couldn't help but think: perhaps, these inconspicuous items might hold a special secret...

Lu Cang never does anything meaningless.

Lu Cang wiped his face, calming his frustrated mood, and walked towards the old skeleton.

-------------------------------------

Land of the Black Death

A shovel emerged from the soil and dug a hole in a few strokes. A fat, three-eyed rat crawled out from the ground, plopped down on the ground, and looked at its harvest.

"Damn, only two pieces of silver equipment in the entire tomb? Are you kidding me?"

With a long sigh, it said helplessly, "Never mind."

Then, he took a map out of his backpack.

[Burial Diagram]

It's similar to a wealth compass, except it can only show nearby graves and doesn't have an unlocking function.

The map shows many locations marked with circles and crosses; these are places where tombs have been dug up.

"We've almost finished digging up all the graves in this area." Fat Rat wiped the sweat from his forehead; this was no easy task.

"I thought this was the land of the dead, so there would be more graves, but it's all just garbage," the fat rat said dejectedly.

We spent a day in the Black Death Lands, digging a total of ten graves.

The best item you can get from all ten tombs is a single platinum-level piece of equipment.

Isn't that frustrating?

But if other players knew what it was thinking, they would probably curse it out loud.

Platinum equipment is something that can only be obtained from Despair difficulty dungeons. You can get it by digging up a few graves. You still think you have too little stuff?

"There's only one left..."

"A place where souls rest in peace, a temple for the forsaken, a haven for the souls of Ansu."

"The name is so long, but with such a cool name, the stuff inside must be pretty good."

"This is the last stop, hopefully some good stuff will come out."

The fat rat stood up from the ground, grabbed the black shovel, and headed towards the place marked on the map.

It's its habit to be the last to dig up the best treasure.

The places with the best things are usually the most dangerous, so naturally you should take the smaller treasures first to increase your strength before heading to the most important ones.

Anyway, there aren't many tomb raiders, so it can't be such a coincidence that someone else raided the tomb before it, right?
