Watley stared at the mysterious scabbard in his hand and said:
"The scabbard you are holding has begun to recover. There is a hidden aura of violence in it. I even sense a familiar smell from it."
Du Yuqi said:
"What does it smell like?"
Watley shook her head and said:
"I can't make a definite conclusion yet. Let's keep moving forward."
As they continued to move forward, Du Yuqi also paid great attention to collecting the patterns and texts left in the cemetery. Watli felt a little curious, but after Du Yuqi's explanation, she understood that since the strong man who died that year had even used the two funerary statues at the entrance of the cemetery, the owner of the tomb would most likely be turned into a pawn by this strong man and become a hurdle that Du Yuqi must face.
Therefore, it is always good to know more about the tomb owner at this time. For example, if you know from the recorded information that the tomb owner likes hunting, then Du Yuqi will be prepared to face a gatekeeper who is good at archery. If this guy is a general, he may have many subordinates. If the tomb owner is the king's attendant, then he is most likely good at protection, both offense and defense.
Soon, the two came to the entrance of the second tomb. They could see that the area below was much wider, as big as two basketball courts. This should have been the place for the tomb owner to boast about his achievements during his lifetime. It could be seen that there were a large number of statues like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, as well as chariots, on the square. However, most of these statues and chariots were completely damaged, and it seemed that they had experienced a fierce battle.
As for where the enemy came from, Du Yuqi saw at a glance the deep holes on the walls around the tomb. They should be the monsters contaminated by the chaotic aura that drilled out.
Du Yuqi walked slowly to the square, his face suddenly changed and he smiled bitterly. It turned out that after he stood here, a prompt came from the mysterious scabbard, asking him to kill here until the scabbard absorbed enough breath power.
The so-called power of breath is the light attached to the scabbard after killing the mutated blood mud monster outside. The requirement now is to dye the entire scabbard with this light!
When Watley heard the words "breath power", her expression suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but say:
"Are you sure it's the power of breath?"
Du Yuqi nodded and said:
"That's right."
Watley said urgently:
"Tell me again how you discovered this mysterious scabbard. Remember not to leave out anything."
Du Yuqi told him everything, and Watley frowned and said:
"Could it be that the legend is true... Your scabbard has a great origin! It should be related to the ancient dragon clan in the legend. Once I have more information, I should be able to determine its origin."
Du Yuqi said helplessly:
"But according to the setting, in the second stage of this trial, I must hunt down a large number of monsters here to absorb the breath power inside. But now all these monsters have been killed by the mutated monsters in the sealed land. Now I have no monsters to kill at all!"
After listening to Du Yuqi's words, Wateli suddenly felt that this situation was indeed very embarrassing. It was estimated that the strong man who designed this trial at that time did not expect such a thing to happen. However, Wateli pondered for a moment and said:
"The power of breath is very special. It is a special power possessed by the ancient dragon clan. It is difficult to assimilate. So even if the trial monsters arranged here are killed, the power of breath will not disappear. You can walk around with the scabbard and take a look."
Du Yuqi walked around holding the scabbard with a lucky mentality. Not long after, he found a ball of light emerging from under the ruins and automatically attached to the scabbard. He was overjoyed and immediately knew that what Watley said was right, and hurriedly walked around.
As a result, not long after, as if some mechanism was triggered, points of light flew out from the surrounding walls and merged into the broken statues and chariots nearby, making them come alive and attack Du Yuqi. However, the combat effectiveness of these broken statues and chariots was obviously greatly affected. Not to mention anything else, just the power of a chariot pulled by three-legged horses can be imagined.
Therefore, Du Yuqi passed the test safely again. At this time, there was an extra layer of bright light on the mysterious scabbard in his hand. With this layer of light, and the shape of the scabbard also changed, Du Yuqi was looking forward to what he would gain next.
After reaching the goal of this level of the test, a huge sarcophagus next to it began to rotate, and then the roar slowly moved away, and then another passage appeared. After entering this passage, it started to go directly upwards. This kind of thing is contrary to common sense, but it is not a big deal. It is often found that water seepage is found below, so the position of the third tomb is raised again. Anyway, the position of the second tomb has been dug deep enough.
After entering the tomb passage in front, Du Yuqi found that the walls of the tomb passage were also riddled with holes, with obvious large holes appearing every few steps. Obviously, these things were drilled out by activated roots contaminated by the power of chaos, which looked shocking. Fortunately, Du Yuqi had cut off an activated root before, and the aura of violence sprayed by it after being injured remained on his body, so these lurking activated roots were afraid and dared not come out to attack.
Although the murals on the tomb passage were mottled, some information could be discerned. After hearing this information, Du Yuqi's face darkened, because the tomb owner was actually a self-made man who had fought his way to obtain the title, followed his lord in his conquests, and was very majestic. Later, he took advantage of his lord's death in battle to successfully ascend to the throne...
Such a strong man must have been a powerful and influential person when he was alive, and he would definitely not be easy to mess with even after his death.
Fortunately, Watley found some more information, which made Du Yuqi feel relieved. It turned out that the owner of the tomb became too powerful later on, so he was suspected by the king and was assassinated. Although he killed the assassin, one of his legs was completely disabled.
After encountering such an incident, the owner of the tomb became disheartened and realized the truth that a tall tree attracts the wind. He dismissed his private soldiers, kept a low profile, and devoted himself to sensual pleasures in his later years, thus saving his family.
After seeing this information, Du Yuqi finally gained some confidence. Otherwise, with this guy's power in his heyday, he would have been a powerful figure, and there might have been a large number of personal guards buried with him. He would have been taught a lesson every minute.
Soon, the two arrived at the exit in front, which was the main tomb chamber. The final test should be here. At the same time, if Du Yuqi guessed correctly, the strong man who concocted this trial should also be buried here.
However, after walking out of the tomb passage, Du Yuqi was immediately dumbfounded! He could hardly believe his eyes.
Because in front of him, there suddenly appeared an endless underground abyss! !
This underground abyss can be said to be unfathomable, and one can see that the dark area torn out by it is as vast as the ocean, with no end in sight. Even in the darkness below, one or two points of light will occasionally light up, but they seem to hurt people's eyes.
After observing for a while, Watley said that this was most likely the dimensional shock effect caused by the Sealed Land approaching the Arad Continent. This underground abyss also had a great origin. It should be the huge space crack left over after the Sealed Land was forcibly cut off from the Arad Continent. Unexpectedly, it has expanded to such a large size.
This underground abyss tore off a large piece of the entire tomb, and even the remaining half of the tomb was broken into several pieces of varying sizes, hanging in the air, with endless darkness below. This completely distorted visual experience made Du Yuqi feel that he was not underground at all, but in the deep space.
At this time, he felt a series of ringing sounds coming from the scabbard held by Du Yuqi. He immediately knew the ultimate goal of this trial, which was to completely repair the scabbard and find its soul!
Du Yuqi also sensed the soul of the scabbard, which was actually located on the broken land mass at the edge of the underground abyss! If Du Yuqi wanted to get the scabbard soul, he had to go down first, then jump on the broken tomb land mass, and finally reach his destination. If he accidentally fell down, he would fall completely into the cracks in the plane, and even his soul could not return.
At this time, Du Yuqi wanted to turn back, but after observing carefully for a while, he found that as long as he was brave and careful, the problem should not be too big. He was reluctant to go back at this time, so he decided to bite the bullet and go forward to give it a try.
However, knowing is easier said than done. It is one thing to look at it from above, but it is another thing entirely to actually walk on it. When Du Yuqi arrived at the ruptured landmass, he could intuitively feel the landmass under his feet trembling slightly, as if it would disappear in the next second. Because of this, Du Yuqi sped up and moved forward, trying to minimize the time he spent in this dangerous area.
Soon, Du Yuqi arrived at the broken land floating on the outskirts of the underground abyss. He sensed that the Sheath Soul he was looking for was on another broken land about ten meters away. That place was only the size of a ping-pong table, covered with dust, piled with rocks, and a half-broken sarcophagus.
Just as Du Yuqi was about to jump over, he suddenly saw something flashing next to him out of the corner of his eye. Turning back, he realized that there was a protruding platform hundreds of meters below the cliff of the underground abyss. You had to stretch your eyes to see it. There were some statue fragments scattered on the platform, and there seemed to be a weapon stuck on the edge of the platform, and the light was coming from the weapon.
