Chapter 62
“Tattatt…”
Ye Bai followed the undead team, and as they left the treasure house, he walked at the end of the team and went deeper into the passage.
Taking advantage of this gap, Ye Bai opened his equipment bar and checked the information of the gray-white mask he had just put on.
【Perfect Mask】
Level: Rare
Attribute: Strange Item
Special Effect - Excellent Disguise: When wearing this mask, other non-wearer groups will regard the wearer as a member of the same group and become neutral units. This effect will become invalid after the wearer actively attacks, and will also become invalid under some advanced identification skills.
Feature - Dragon Mark: Collections marked by ancient dragons, no matter where they are, anyone who dares to steal the dragon clan’s private property will be hunted down by the dragon clan.
Description: There was once a clever guy who used this mask to deceive the ancient dragon and successfully sneaked into the sky city. Unfortunately, this greedy guy was eventually discovered and exposed for stealing the dragon's treasure. This unique and strange item has therefore become one of the dragon's collection.
Wow!
After seeing the attributes of this equipment, Ye Bai's eyes lit up and he was surprised.
It’s worth it!
Although this mask has no attributes, what does this special effect mean? It is a permanent and powerful "neutral aura"!
Ye Bai instantly thought of its usage - it was simply the best tool for traveling in advanced maps like the Divine Realm.
As long as you don't actively attack or encounter advanced identification skills, you can wear this mask to blend into various areas that are supposed to be dangerous and avoid being hated by monsters.
Even the advanced identification skills needed to reveal it must be rare. After all, judging by the description, how could one possibly outwit an ancient dragon? The ancient dragon's appearance is unique. Even after donning this mask, clearly meant for humanoid creatures, they were able to slip into the dragon's lair. Clearly, the effect isn't simply an illusion, but rather a cognitive manipulation.
It is extraordinary from the fact that it is included in the Dragon Collection Package at a rare level. At the same time, the attribute of "rare item" means that this equipment is a special item with unique properties.
As for the dragon mark, it is acceptable under the powerful special effects, because now the ancient dragon clan has been destroyed, and unless Ye Bai is extremely "lucky", he should not be hunted down by the dragon - if there are still living dragons, they probably don't have the time to do so.
Therefore, the only side effect of this mask is that it will occupy Ye Bai's [Mask] slot forever and can never be taken off, becoming a bound item.
But for this special effect, sacrificing the attributes of a mask equipment slot is completely worth it.
Ye Bai narrowed her eyes. It was worth it that she finally took out the magic scroll and "put" the paper man in. The reminder just now from this guy really helped her a lot.
Otherwise, even if he entered such a tricky "treasure mountain" as the Dragon Clan's treasure house, Ye Bai could only sigh in despair.
Although it is very likely that the paper man told Ye Bai about the existence of this equipment in order to trick Ye Bai into accepting his task in the God Realm later, it is also a very fulfilling thing to be able to get the reward in advance from the same paper man.
While thinking, the environment in front of Ye Bai began to change.
Following the undead team deeper, other dragonborn undead came out from other passages around them, including dragon-scaled people, dragon-born goblins... The dungeon dragonborn who lived in the sky city were all gathering in a certain direction.
When encountering other dragonborn undead, due to the perfect mask effect, they indeed mistook Ye Bai for a member of the dungeon undead and completely ignored her.
Apart from not being able to leave the team, Ye Bai, a living person, perfectly integrated into a group of undead. Although she looked like a husky integrated into a wolf pack, as long as she didn't think of attacking these undead, she was generally very safe.
Things had come to this point, and she couldn't fall behind and go back to the treasure house, so Ye Bai just went with the flow and continued to move forward with the army of undead. And to be honest, she was also very curious about what was going on with these unusual movements of the undead.
Ye Bai subconsciously thought of the donkey that had disappeared in the giant gate before, and the powerful code mentioned by the paper man whose treasure house was taken away... Is there any connection between these three?
At this moment, the undead team left the main passage, and the scene in front of Ye Bai changed and suddenly became clear.
Unlike the relatively cramped acquired passage, this place looks like a huge natural underground cave with many winding underground rivers in front. A large amount of dark blue undead fire is floating in these black rivers, lighting up the surroundings and presenting an indescribable mystery and coldness.
The intersecting rivers of will-o'-the-wisp had created a huge pitch-black 'island' in front.
There is a bridge connecting the four directions of the island, leading to the central island. At this time, in addition to the direction where Ye Bai is, there are also a large number of dragon-born undead walking on the bridges in the other four directions, heading towards the island. That location is obviously the core hinterland of this underground city.
Ye Bai saw that in the center of the island, there was a beam of cold light that didn't look too bright shining down from above. She raised her head and saw that there was a gap between the top of the island and the ground. The beam of light was obviously coming from the ground.
Except for that one gap, the rest of the place is pitch-black stone walls. In this environment, it looks like an eternal night sky and a lonely moon.
After stepping onto the bridge with other undead, before reaching the island completely, Ye Bai saw from a distance that a huge phantom fire light suddenly lit up above the dark island with a "boom", rushing against the real light on the ground, covering it up and making it almost invisible.
For the undead who fear light, this is an effect that can only be produced by extremely powerful undead power.
The next moment, Ye Bai clearly noticed that the dragon-born undead around him quickened their pace, and the undead fire in their eyes jumped more violently, as if they were very excited. These undead basically had no vocal cords, and only the two points of soul fire in their eyes could reflect their emotions.
Ye Bai looked solemn, feeling both nervous and curious. He quickened his pace with the other undead and trotted towards the island.
Finally, after a while, Ye Bai crossed the long bridge and officially set foot on the mysterious black island that attracted all the dragon-born undead in this dungeon.
At this time, the island was already crowded with undead, and it was almost impossible to find a place to stay. Ye Bai seriously suspected that all the dragonborn in the entire dungeon had gathered here.
After observing the surroundings, Ye Bai saw that the island was made of hard black stones, sharp and rugged. Relying on the super jumping ability provided by the light feather effect, he passed through a large number of tall undead dragons, found a protruding sharp stone pillar, and jumped on it.
Probably because he was regarded as some flying undead, Ye Bai's actions did not attract the attention of the surrounding undead. All the undead's eyes were directed towards the center of the island.
Having regained his vision, Ye Bai followed the gaze of the undead and was immediately stunned by the scene before him.
In the center of the black island, where a large number of dragon-born undead gathered to guard it, lay a shocking behemoth.
Its body was as big as a hill, with wings extending more than 20 meters long on each side. Its scales had been covered with dust for who knows how many years, and were covered with wounds that were "small" compared to the body. There was no blood in them, but the intact parts still looked indestructible and tough. One could imagine what a fierce battle it had experienced.
On the huge head, the eyes as tall as a human were tightly closed. It fell in the center of the island and was already lifeless. But even so, its mere existence there still brought an indescribable and powerful shock to people.
This is an ancient dragon, an ancient dragon that looks like it has been dead for who knows how many years.
In connection with the gap in the ground above, Ye Bai couldn't help but wonder whether the corpse of the giant dragon had fallen here along with the sky city. Then why were these undead gathering here at this time?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Ye Bai, whose attention was immediately attracted by the giant dragon's corpse, saw that right next to the giant dragon's huge corpse, there was an altar made entirely of bones.
At this time, standing on the altar was a dragon-born undead wearing a long robe, who obviously looked like a magician.
It looked shorter than the tall Asian undead, only about two meters tall, extremely slender, or almost a creature made of skin and bones. However, its body was surging with vigorous and powerful undead phantom fire that was visible to the naked eye, and had completely covered its body. From a distance, it looked like a ball of soul flame lit on the altar.
The faint light that Ye Bai saw just now before he stepped onto the island seemed to be emitted from it.
Ye Bai immediately recognized the unusual-looking undead creature on the altar - the lich.
The top magic profession among undead creatures. Compared with other undead who have lost their intelligence and only have the instincts they had when they were alive, those who can become lich units basically choose to transform actively. In addition to having the weaknesses and characteristics of the undead, they also retain all their intelligence.
As long as the lich's life box is not destroyed, one can be resurrected in it even after death. A being who can become a lich is basically a powerful wizard when he was alive. However, after death, he can no longer use the magic he used in his life, and all of it will be converted into undead magic.
Seeing the large number of undead dragonborn gathered here, as well as the corpse of the ancient dragon beside the altar, Ye Bai took a deep breath. He couldn't understand what was happening in front of him.
The most common method used by all liches is to control lower-level undead units without intelligence through undead magic, as well as to transform powerful creatures into undead that obey their orders.
This lich is performing a ritual to transform the ancient dragon corpse in front of it into a skeleton dragon!
No wonder so many undead gathered here, because the more powerful the creature was in life, the more difficult it was to transform into an undead. It required a large amount of precious magical materials and a large amount of soul fire. Therefore, all the dragonborn undead in the dungeon were summoned here by the lich to serve as firewood to assist in the ceremony.
His eyes were originally on the altar, observing the lich, when suddenly, Ye Bai's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a familiar gray nearby.
Ye Bai was stunned, and immediately looked in that direction -
Then, she saw a donkey that looked out of place with the surrounding environment appearing not far from the altar, where no other undead could get close.
