Cao Xing was indeed moved.

However, he knew that this underground palace contained long-sealed treasures.

Cao Xing asked, "What about the treasure in the underground palace?"

The undead Karhan replied: "You even know this?

"However, it is in the last temple deep in the underground palace, and only those with royal blood can open it."

Cao Xing was stunned. "Well, where can I find someone with royal blood?"

The undead shook his head. "We don't know. But you can ask the undead of the Duke of Palatine. He should know."

Cao Xing rolled his eyes.

It turns out that this is a trap for myself.

To open the treasure, you must find the royal bloodline of Ascalon.

In order to find the royal bloodline, the ghost of the Duke of Palatine must be rescued.

Cao Xing said, "I understand. Now how do we get in?"

"Come with me."

After the undead Karhan finished speaking, he brought Cao Xing to the closed gate.

Then it pointed to a few dusty coffins nearby.

As it moved, the stone slab on the coffin opened, revealing a passage with a diameter of about two meters.

"This is the hidden passage we left behind. From here, you can enter the underground palace."

"But be careful not to let the Soul Eater discover this passage."

"Once the Soul Eater finds this passage, we will destroy it without hesitation. Then, you won't be able to get out."

Cao Xing nodded, "Got it."

Then he looked at his men and said, "Let's go down."

The bald Braum hesitated for a moment, then jumped down with his shield raised.

Then came Assam and Andrews.

As for Sarah, she hasn't appeared since she entered the passage.

She is more ghostly than these Ascalonian undead.

But Cao Xing knew that Sarah had entered the tunnel.

Almost everyone has gone in.

The Blood Spider Queen Hilda, however, remained standing.

"Hilda, come in, why are you standing there?"

Hilda said with disgust, "Tsk! You actually want me, the queen, to go through this dog hole!"

Cao Xing was speechless, "This is not a dog hole, this is an underground passage."

"Stop talking nonsense and get in quickly."

Through this period of time, Cao Xing already knew that Xierda was a woman who said one thing and did another but acted upright.

The short name is tsundere.

So for this kind of woman, it is better to be direct and firm.

Sure enough, under Cao Xing's order, although Xierda was still reluctant, she also jumped into the cave.

Then, Cao Xing, Liu Muxue and Ji Xinyue, who were walking at the back, also jumped down.

The view in front of my eyes darkened.

Just as the undead Karhan said, this is a long-sealed passage with a smell of decay and poor air circulation.

After walking a distance.

Cao Xing felt that Liu Muxue beside him seemed a little scared and her body was shaking slightly.

"Mu Xue, are you scared?"

Liu Muxue shook her head and said, "No... no..."

Cao Xing smiled and then grabbed her right hand.

The palm of my hand feels warm.

Instantly, a hint of shame appeared on Liu Muxue's face.

Given their current relationship, Liu Muxue wouldn't have had this kind of reaction if it was just holding hands.

But there is not only Cao Xing here, but also their subordinates and an outsider like Ji Xinyue.

Ji Xinyue, in particular, looked at their actions with surprise on her face.

For a moment, Liu Muxue lowered her head in shame.

However, she did not take any other action and let Cao Xing hold her.

The three continued to move forward from behind.

However, not long after they moved forward, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue discovered that there seemed to be one person missing among them.

I don’t know when Ji Xinyue disappeared!

The two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Cao Xing thought he was seeing a scene from a horror movie and was about to alert everyone.

At this moment, footsteps gradually came from behind.

Tap... tap...

Through the darkness, Cao Xing saw a figure.

At this time, she held an iron sword tightly in both hands, trembling her body and looking around vigilantly.

At the same time, he quickened his pace, as if trying to keep up with the crowd.

Seeing Cao Xing and others waiting for her, Ji Xinyue said apologetically: "Sorry... I'm sorry..."

However, she was so frightened that her voice was trembling.

Liu Muxue took a look and said softly: "Axing, take her with you..."

Cao Xing was stunned, and understood what Liu Muxue meant.

So he put the staff into his backpack.

Under Ji Xinyue's surprised gaze, Cao Xing directly grabbed her right hand.

At this moment, Ji Xinyue only felt a pair of strong hands grabbing her wrists and then pulling her forward.

“Hmm…”

Ji Xinyue felt all the shame surge into her heart in an instant, even dispelling the fear in her heart.

At this moment, Cao Xing was holding two beauties in one hand and walking quickly in the dim tunnel.

Ji Xinyue was in a shy and confused state all the way.

After a moment, she seemed to react and whispered in a mosquito-like voice, "Thank you... Thank you..."

Cao Xing nodded and didn't say much.

After walking about one kilometer.

A system prompt appears.

[You have entered the interior of the Tomb of Ascalon...]

Some lights appeared faintly ahead.

At this time, Braum whispered in front: "Hey! Look what I found, a sealed door!"

After hearing this, Cao Xing released the hands of the two beauties, then pushed through the crowd and walked away.

Sure enough, a stone door was seen in front of Braum.

【Tunnel Gate】

[Armor: 300]

[Durability: 50000]

[Special Effect: Self-destruction]

…

Seeing the special effects above, Cao Xing knew that this was not a door that could be opened by brute force.

But on it, he saw a hexagonal groove.

It just corresponds to what the undead gave me.

Cao Xing took out the [Stone Talisman of Ascalon Palace] and put it in.

A faint light flashed, and the stone door slowly opened.

At this moment, Cao Xing silently retreated behind Braum, in case any monster suddenly jumped out from inside.

"Bron, protect me."

The bald Braum raised his shield and stood in front of Cao Xing.

However, when the stone door was completely opened, there was no attack from any monsters.

Cao Xing stuck his head out and began to investigate the situation inside.

This seems to be a hidden secret room.

The dim lighting, spider webs covering the corners of the walls, and the opened coffins everywhere made this place look equally eerie.

Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would have to fight as soon as he came out.

"Come on, let's go in."

After receiving Cao Xing's order, Braum was the first to get out of the passage.

Then, everyone followed Yu Guan into the secret room.

When Ji Xinyue and Liu Muxue, the two girls, walked out holding each other's hands, the door behind them closed again.

Cao Xing observed the layout of the secret room and then began to look around.

He knocked here and there, even the coffins were not spared.

I saw Cao Xing squatting in front of the coffin and studying it.

Ji Xinyue asked doubtfully, "Boss Cao Xing, what are you doing?"

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Nothing. Check if there are any Ascalonian names on these coffins. They are the guardians of the underground palace and also brave warriors."

"Even though he died here, he shouldn't have left behind even a name."

Ji Xinyue nodded suddenly.

However, Reness, who was standing by, was moved after hearing this.

As an Ascalonian, I feel even more deeply about Cao Xing's words.

Renis bowed respectfully and said, "You are a merciful lord. Renis expresses her sincere respect to you on behalf of these deceased souls."

[Your territory member: Renis Hawkeye was moved by your words and her loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 95]

Cao Xing looked guilty, but still nodded.

Liu Muxue behind seemed to have noticed something and smiled softly with her hands covering her face.

Cao Xing stood up and found that these coffins could not be taken away or disassembled.

I feel a little regretful.

At this moment, Cao Xing seemed to remember something and glanced into the coffin a few times.

This glance actually allowed him to discover something.

It looked like a blackened bag.

Cao Xing was about to reach out to pick it up, but he felt a sharp gaze behind him.

That was Renes's gaze.

He coughed twice and said, "This underground palace has already fallen. We should take the remains of the dead out and preserve the last traces of their existence."

After hearing this, the gaze behind him gradually disappeared and turned into a gentle look.

And Cao Xing also breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought to myself, "Fortunately, Renis is very loyal and is willing to believe whatever I say."

"It's not easy to deceive a woman like Hilda. No, it's not easy to deal with her."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing picked up the bag inside with confidence.

A system prompt appears.

[Obtained: Ascalon soldier's burial bag, do you want to open it? ]

Cao Xing's eyes lit up.

"A bag of burial objects? What can be found in it?"

He clicked on it directly.

【Open successfully】

【Obtained 3 brass coins】

[Obtain Magic Crystal*5]

【Obtain gold nuggets*3】

【Obtained Book: Blue Pearl】

…

When Cao Xing saw the things in the bag of burial objects, he was immediately shocked!

"Fuck! Ancient brass coins!"

He clearly remembered that when he killed the snow demon before, several ancient brass coins also dropped.

According to the system, if you collect 100 of these things, you can exchange them for an ancient treasure chest.

And there is a high chance that ancient weapons can be found in ancient treasure chests!

Through the transactions with the Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce during the day, Cao Xing knew that any ancient weapon could be sold at a high price of more than 100,000 crowns.

Cao Xing was in a good mood as he didn't expect to be able to pick up ancient brass coins here.

In addition, the gold nuggets weigh several dozen grams in total and can be sold for a good price.

"Not bad! This underground palace is so big, there must be a lot of coffins like this. If we can find more burial objects, we will get rich this time!"

Cao Xing was immediately excited.

"Look inside these coffins to see if you can find other burial objects."

At this point, Cao Xing said solemnly, "Let's take the last traces of these dead people out, and then find a suitable place to bury them in the ground again and build a new cenotaph for them."

At this moment, Renee's eyes were once again filled with emotion.

It seemed that he had not expected that Cao Xing would value these relics of the Ascalon people so much.

Immediately, Reneece was the first to take action and began to look around.

However, what she didn't know was that Cao Xing would actually bury the bag of burial objects.

It was just a casual thing for him.

However, he had already taken out the things inside, and only some empty bags were buried.

The other men also began to search everywhere.

Not only that, Cao Xing was also knocking on the walls of this secret room.

Ji Xinyue opened her mouth slightly, as if surprised by Cao Xing's action.

However, Liu Muxue on the side had already gotten used to it and also started to explore around.

Unfortunately, Cao Xing did not find any hidden treasure chest or storage box in this secret room.

However, Reneece had some unexpected gains.

She came to Cao Xing with five black bags in her hands and handed them over respectfully.

"My Lord, these are the bags of relics found in the coffins. Please collect them."

Cao Xing looked at the five bags and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Then, he nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, Reneece, I will keep these relic bags well."

I took it from Renis and a system prompt appeared.

[Received 5 bags of burial objects, do you want to open them? ]

Cao Xing did not open it immediately, but turned around and faced Reneece.

Click Confirm again.

"yes."

【Opened successfully. 】

【Obtained 14 bronze coins】

[Obtain Magic Crystal*27]

【Get a gold watch*1】

【Obtain Silver Sword*1】

【Get 2 gorgeous hairpins】

【Obtain gold nuggets*12】

[Obtain 32 Corrupted Magic Seeds]

[Book received: The Poems of Langton]

[Books Received: Introduction to Herbal Medicine]

…

Looking at this pile of things, Cao Xing's eyes showed strong joy.

The contents of the five burial bags are all different.

But there were two or three ancient brass coins in each bag.

In addition, those gold watches, silver swords and the like are all works of art.

The attack power is not high, but it can be sold for money.

"Wuhu, this is more fun than opening a treasure chest!"

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, I've made a lot of money right after coming in."

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly heard the sound of an animal crawling outside the secret room.

Cluck…Cluck…

Cao Xing made a gesture and everyone stopped.

Even my breathing slowed down.

After a while, wait for the sound to fade away.

Everyone relaxed again.

Then he continued to search around the secret room.

At this time, Liu Muxue groped in front of a wall for a while.

She seemed to have discovered something and whispered, "Ah Xing, there seems to be a door here."

Hearing this, Cao Xing walked over quickly.

On this wall, I saw a hidden door that looked no different from the surrounding walls.

There is only a sunken hexagonal groove in the middle area.

"Axing, can we get to the inner part of the underground palace if we go out from here?"

Cao Xing nodded. "Yes, the undead Karhan said that if you go out of this secret room, you will enter a corridor, and then you can go to the four major temples and Kasha Cathedral through the corridor."

"Now, we have to act quickly."

After saying that, Cao Xing took out the [Underground Palace Stone Talisman] again and put it into the groove.

“Crunch! Crunch!”

There was a sound of wheels turning.

The wall in front of me began to slowly rise upwards.

In front of Cao Xing and others, a larger room gradually appeared.

Then, Cao Xing came out with his men.

After everyone left the secret room, the stone door closed automatically.

"Boom boom..."

The stone door behind him fell down again and turned into a wall again. Even if you look closely, you can't see any flaws.

At this time, Cao Xing looked around.

This new room is very spacious, with a ceiling height of five or six meters. Even though it is underground, it does not feel oppressive.

However, Cao Xing also saw three deep passages in the corners of the room.

For a moment, Cao Xing didn't know where to go.

Cao Xing was a little confused and said, "Damn it, this undead Karhan doesn't even explain it clearly."

"This underground palace is so huge, which way should we go and where can we open the four great temples?"

The others also looked confused.

At this time, Ji Xinyue whispered: "I...here is a map of the underground palace..."

Cao Xing's eyes lit up, and then he asked, "Where did you get the map?"

"A few days ago... a ghost gave it to me..."

Ji Xinyue replied cautiously.

Cao Xing nodded, then came to Ji Xinyue's side and checked the marks on the map.

After a while, Cao Xing's eyes showed a look of realization.

"It turns out that this corridor is called the Eternal View Corridor, which connects most areas of the underground palace."

"Go through the passage on the left and you will reach the center of this palace, the Temple of Everlook."

Liu Muxue reminded, "Ah Xing, didn't that undead ghost say that the Everlook Temple had fallen and was filled with soul-eating monsters?"

Cao Xing nodded, "Yes, so we can't go through the passage on the left. We have to go to the other two passages first. These two passages connect to the four great temples."

He studied the map and thought, "The closest place to us is the Shield Temple, which is the passage in the middle."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing has made a decision.

"Let's go, let's go to the middle first."

After saying this, Bron took the lead and stepped into the dim corridor in the middle.

Everyone followed in.

When Cao Xing passed through the passage on the left, he felt a sudden vibration in his backpack.

"Um?"

Cao Xing looked puzzled and glanced at the items in his backpack.

Then he discovered that it was the [Demon Devouring Box] he bought from Marita that was stirring.

The demon sealed inside seemed to sense something and was eager to come out.

Cao Xing thought for a moment, "The passage on the left is connected to the Everlook Temple, and behind the temple is the Kasha Cathedral. According to Kalhan, the soul-devouring demon is there."

"It seems that this Demon Devouring Box must have sensed the aura of other demons, so it wants to come out, right?"

Shaking his head, Cao Xing didn't think much about it. He reassembled the [Demon-Devouring Box] and continued to step into the middle passage.

…

The environment inside the middle corridor is also dim, but still spacious.

Cao Xing even saw several opened coffins on both sides of the passage.

Just as he was about to check if there was anything inside the coffin, he suddenly heard the sound of animals crawling in front of him.

"Rustle...rustle..."

Cao Xing made a gesture and quickly led everyone to retreat several dozen meters.

At the same time, they saw a slender monster appearing in front of them. It was one and a half meters tall and about two or three meters long.

This monster looks like a lizard, with a long tail swinging in the air.

The skin is dark green with many spots all over.

The hind legs are strong and powerful, and the forelimbs are slightly bent.

It can also walk upright and its movements are very fast.

It was wandering around, its nose constantly sniffing the air, as if it could smell something.

Cao Xing glanced at its properties.

[Soul Eater lv26]

[Species: Soul Eater]

[HP: 13370/13370]

[Attack power: 667~691]

[Skill: Spiritual Pressure (suppresses the spirit, reducing all its attributes by 30% and making it unable to move for 5 seconds, cooldown time 60 seconds)

Soul-Scattering Claws (Waving sharp claws, causing 155%*2 tearing damage to the enemy. If used on a spirit, it will cause the spirit to fall into a soul-tearing state, and the spirit will suffer great pain. Cooldown time 40 seconds)

Soul Devourer (Directly devours the spirit, causing 250% damage. If the spirit dies, 50% of its own health will be restored. Cooldown time is 120 seconds)]

[Talent: Soul Devourer (When attacking a spirit, ignore all defenses of the opponent and cause an additional 100% damage to it. When attacked by a spirit, reduce the damage by 50%)]

…

"Good fellow, this is the Soul Eater."

"This set of skills is specially designed to deal with spirits, right? This is too abnormal!"

Cao Xing nodded suddenly.

No wonder the third-tier boss-level Karhan Undead said that he couldn't defeat an ordinary Soul Eater.

This is completely suppressed.

Unless it is a leader-level undead, it might be able to deal with an ordinary soul-eating monster of the same level.

Of course, these skills of the Soul Eater are of no use to living people like them.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing gradually felt more confident.

At this moment, this Soul Eater seemed to be looking for something.

Cao Xing and others are ready for battle.

However, it didn't seem to be looking for Cao Xing and the others.

Instead, he looked at the open coffins in the corners of the wall.

Inside, there was a coffin that had not yet been opened, but the stone slab on it had already loosened.

The Soul-Eating Monster seemed to smell something. It moved its powerful hind legs and quickly approached the coffin.

Then, under the astonished gaze of Cao Xing and others, the soul-eating monster directly stretched out its claw-like forelimbs and began to frantically attack the stone slabs above the coffin.

Snap! Snap!

The Soul Eater's sharp claws kept scratching across the stone slabs, making a series of sounds that gave people goosebumps.

Under its attack, a crack seemed to have been torn in the stone slab above the coffin.

There were whispers of the dead from inside the coffin.

"Who dares to disturb my sleep?"

Then the next moment, a scream was heard.

"Ah! It's the Soul Eater!"

A female Ascalonian undead was grabbed by the shoulders by the Soul Eater and pulled out.

This undead seemed to want to resist.

However, the Soul Eater immediately activated the [Spiritual Pressure] skill.

The body of the Ascalon Undead suddenly stiffened, as if it was fixed in place and unable to move.

The Soul Eater opened its huge black mouth and bit down as if it had found some delicious food.

【-3473】

A horrible injury occurs!

"ah!!"

The female Ascalonian Undead screamed like a wronged soul, but she was unable to move in the state of [Spiritual Pressure].

He could only watch as the Soul-Eating Monster bit by bit chewed and devoured his soul.

The Soul Eater is too harsh on these undead!

Seeing this scene, Reness next to him showed a look of pity in her eyes.

She looked at Cao Xing for help, "Lord..."

Cao Xing nodded, and then gave the order directly: "Go, kill this soul-eating monster!"
