Chapter 9 is also good news
"Ah! Great Lord of the Underworld above! Your most devout follower, Rockmund, truly doesn't know how to offer you my insignificant loyalty!......" Indeed, as soon as Rockmund heard this, he became excited, turned around and knelt down in front of the altar, kowtowing for a long time before remembering that Ling Mu was still behind him, and then awkwardly got up again.
"Ding! Rockmund's affection towards you has increased by 30 points. Current: Devotion!"
"I'm sorry, sir. I, Rock, have lost my composure. It's just that we haven't had any news from the Underworld for over a thousand years, and suddenly hearing this is making me too excited!" Rock Mond exclaimed, dancing with joy. Suddenly remembering something, he asked again: "Ah, sir, why did we suddenly lose contact with the Underworld a thousand years ago? We could sense it but couldn't establish a connection! I've spent a hundred years here trying to open the portal back to the Underworld, but it's been a failure!"
"This is because the Lord of the Underworld left behind a hidden danger during the Great War between gods and demons 10,000 years ago, causing him to fall into a deep sleep, and the Underworld was completely closed. I also received the will of the Lord of the Underworld this time at great cost to leave the Underworld!" It seems that the Lord of the Underworld fell for 9,000 years before the Underworld completely lost its vitality, and it wasn't until 1,000 years ago that all contact with the outside world was severed. No wonder Rockmund didn't know the news; perhaps even the news of the Lord's downfall hadn't been announced to the outside world. Lingmu is spouting nonsense, not afraid of being exposed."
"No wonder it's been 10,000 years since we've seen Lord Hades...it turns out he was just sleeping..." Indeed, Rochmund deeply believed and went on to say a lot of things, such as cursing the Light Camp for daring to hurt Lord Hades, and expressing humble gratitude for Lord Hades' concern. Finally, he got to the point: "Thank you, sir, for not hesitating to take great pains and pay a huge price to come from the Underworld to guide Rochmund!"
Luò Kè bowed to Líng Mù, but it put Líng Mù in a difficult position, as he didn't know what guidance to give.
"Cough, no need for formalities. Actually, I've come from the underworld this time with a heavy responsibility entrusted by Lord Hades himself."
"Indeed! Of course, the heavy responsibility of Lord Hades takes precedence. I'm already deeply grateful that you, sir, would remember me and go to such great lengths to come from the Underworld just for my sake!" Rock nodded repeatedly, after all, he was just a small, insignificant necromancer, not worth the great cost of having someone like him come all the way from the Underworld. Since he bore the will of Lord Hades, it made sense. "Is there anything I can do to assist you, sir?"
"This, when I left the underworld, not only did I pay a huge price, but my strength was also greatly damaged. Now, it's hard to complete the heavy task entrusted by Lord Meng. So, I must urgently increase my strength!" Ling Mu's eyes gleamed with two bright flames, what is this? This is a good opportunity!
"Ah! So that's how it is!" It turned out that the feeling of the adults' weak strength was actually due to this reason. "Rok has some collections here, I don't know if they will be of any help in increasing your strength?"
Rockmond waved his hand and said, "Whoosh" - the entire hall suddenly piled up with a mess of objects, and all the colorful lights of Lingmu Minghuo went out.
But in an instant, Lingmu's dark fire burst out with a more intense light than the object on the ground, and he pounced towards the ground like a big explosion.
Ling Mu felt unbearable, as if his heart was bleeding, although the empty skeleton in his chest no longer had a heart, he still felt like his heart was bleeding.
It's not that there are too few things on the ground, but rather too many. Just equipment alone is almost seven or eight hundred pieces, and then there are various materials, skill books, special items, and all sorts of other things that dazzle the eyes with their colorful glow.
But it's precisely because there are too many things that make Lingmu feel uncomfortable, feeling like his heart is bleeding. The first reason is that before leaving the novice village, the package only had twenty spaces, making Lingmu grit his teeth in hatred. And the second reason is that the equipment on the ground is actually useless to Lingmu, no other reason than the level requirement. From the equipment requirements, it can be seen that Rockmond should be level 30, so the level requirements for these equipment are also 30, making Lingmu even more uncomfortable.
However, Lingmu wasn't without gains. After searching for half a day and roughly sweeping the entire hall, he put all the gold coins into his bag. He directly used any useful items, such as skill books - curses, weakening spells, and whatever else he could learn, he learned a large number of them. His bag was also filled with about half its space. Apart from a red legendary longsword and a task item-like token, he picked up an entire set of golden-grade mage equipment: the Staff of the Dead's Requiem, a cloak, a belt, and a waistband...
It was almost impossible to pick up any more, and Lingmu finally stopped, looking at the equipment items all over the hall. He felt so bad that he didn't dare look anymore, gesturing for Rockmund to put them away.
"Is the gentleman still satisfied?" Rockmund leaned over and asked with a flattering tone.
"Ruo Ke, you have so many things, but I don't need any of them!" Ling Mu's tone was full of disappointment, and in fact, he was indeed very disappointed.
"Ah! This, this... Ah yes, milord! Rock has a cloak that can hide one's tracks, it should be of great help to you in completing the mission for Lord Myojin!" Rockmond suddenly slapped his forehead and took off the black cloak he was wearing, handing it over to Lingmu.
Stealthy Journey: Special Equipment, Cloak
Equipment requirements: None
Attribute: Conceals character information, cannot be detected by any reconnaissance technique
Special equipment! The feedback from the Netherworld Eye made Lingmu ecstatic, not because he could equip it, but because the properties of this cloak were simply too good to be true!
He hastily put on the cloak, which was thick and loose, pitch black, and could cover his entire body when he pulled down the brim of the hat. He was completely hidden in the shadows, and no one would be able to see that there was a skull inside. Of course, what Ling Mu cared about more was the properties of the cloak. He looked up and saw that the name of the Netherworld Disciple had disappeared. After thinking for a moment, he set the display of hidden character names to show, and it took effect! The name "Ling Feng" appeared above his head once again!
"Ah, yes! There is still!" Only one layer of dry skin stuck to the skeleton, Rockmund, who was only wearing a monk's robe, suddenly let out a loud shout and brought Lingmu to the altar in the center of the hall.
"Sir! This is the soul energy of the deceased that Rock has collected in order to open up a path back to the underworld, take a look!"
Soul of the Departed: A source of death imbued with the essence of many departed souls
This was a mass of gray floating in mid-air. Ling Mu couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, so he thought for a moment and then reached out to touch it with his skull hand.
Who would have thought that as soon as they touched the soul of the dead, it was like a piece of toffee that completely melted and wrapped around Lingmu's skull hand, unable to shake it off, until it got smaller and smaller and was completely absorbed by Lingmu.
"Ding! You have been strengthened by the soul of the deceased, quality improved! All attributes doubled!"
Got it! I've become an elite monster! Ling Mu silently opened his attribute panel.

Without any equipment, the three novices are not even considered amazing, but their basic attributes are actually so high! Ling Mu was stunned and also delighted, his skull-like mouth chattering non-stop.
"......Sir? Sir! Sir!" It wasn't until then that Ling Mu, who was in a state of excitement, heard Rockmund's shouting.
"I wonder if the deceased soul master is satisfied?" Luo Ke looked at the empty altar with a heartache, knowing that he had spent hundreds of years collecting so many deceased souls, only to have them all disappear in an instant. He couldn't help but feel pain, but he didn't dare show it on his face, and instead asked Ling Mu with a flattering tone.
"Not bad, not bad! Rock on! I have high hopes for you! Next time, I'll definitely mention you in front of Lord Myojin!" Ling Mu was in a great mood, patting Rockmund's shoulder, and the more he looked at him, the more pleasing he found him.
"Ah! Thank you so much, sir!" Rockmund was overjoyed in an instant, feeling that the soul's energy was well worth it, and he couldn't help but want to give more.
"By the way, sir, next time you return to the Underworld, can you bring Rock with you? You also know that the Underworld has been closed for a thousand years and Rock hasn't returned yet." Rockmund suddenly asked.
"Of course, no problem!" Ling Mu replied in one breath, although he himself didn't know how to return to the underworld.
"Ah! Too wonderful! When shall we set out, then?" Rockmund exclaimed with great joy.
"You also know that this time I left the underworld with a heavy responsibility entrusted by Lord Myojin..." Lingmu's tone slowed down.
"This is natural! This is natural! Of course, I prioritize Lord Myne's important matters!" Rockmond nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, that's right. So, after I've completed the task entrusted to me by Lord Mei, I'll come back here and take you with me to return to the underworld." Ling Mu said seriously.
"Yes, yes, yes! Rock is truly grateful to the adults! I will definitely wait here for the adults to return!" Rockmond replied repeatedly.
……
Ling Mu, feeling great with a full load, bid farewell to Rockmund and hastily put on the cloak of secrecy before hurrying back to Newbie Village. Just as he left the Dark Cave, he heard a series of prompts in the sky!
