Chapter Fifty-One: The Wandering Mummy

  Watching the water seep slowly into the ground, Yan Shao said with a swallow: "Fortunately we were cautious..."

  225 points of blood water element can easily kill, in this gray mist, what kind of terrible monster is hidden. If it wasn't for its scouting, the two who rashly entered would now be waiting for resurrection with their teammates from heaven in the academy's fountain.

  "It's actually a monster that can turn invisible."

  It was easy to determine this point, and Hu Siming took out the special tomb torch from the storage compartment again. When he confronted the Nightmares team before, it had made great contributions to killing that repeater. Now, it's time for it to take the stage again.

  It's possible that the battlefield setting gave this prop its significance, all for the sake of this level.

  After lighting the torches, the two of them cautiously entered the grand hall of the underground palace.

  The gray mist, under the faint blue light, seemed particularly eerie. Due to their previous encounter with the water element, the two of them were extremely cautious and walked very slowly. Just as they were about to reach the location where the water element had disappeared, the fire torch's ability to reveal hidden things made the monsters hiding in the mist ahead visible.

  It was a faint monster shadow, its body looked about the same as an ordinary mummy, and it moved very slowly. As soon as they found out that it was wandering aimlessly in this direction, Hu Si Ming and Yan Shao Ou immediately retreated while throwing out scouts.

  Mummy Wanderer

  Maximum life value 100 points, attack power 150 points.

  A monster with an attack power higher than its HP, Hu Si Ming and Yan Shao Ou had never seen one before. The dazzling numbers almost blinded the two men's dog eyes. No wonder, with a water-elemental body, it was eliminated after only two hits when it went in. This attack power is really too astonishing.

  The only fortunate thing is that its moving speed is really slow!

  Freshmen in their first year, the average basic movement speed is around 240 points. This speed is not considered fast in Knife Tower. Some heroes can even reach twice or more after having skills and equipment. But this Mummy Wanderer, its movement speed is probably less than 200 points, it can be said that it's the slowest monster Hu Si Ming has ever seen.

  Of course, compared with that pervert's attack power, being a bit slower is normal, otherwise it would be too strong and absolutely beyond the limits of what a first-year student can handle.

  If no tomb torches were found and there were no anti-hidden instruments on them, the team that tried to challenge this level would undoubtedly be very tragic. Those who dared to come in rashly would probably be killed instantly like the previous water element. But for Hu Si Ming and Yan Shao Ou now, it's not easy to get through this level.

  Locked onto that Mummy Wanderer, Shen Yue raised his staff and fired a charged shot.

  A fist-sized beam of light shot through the gray mist, leaving a bright trail behind it and exploded onto the mummy with a loud crash. Its health instantly dropped by nearly one-fifth!

  Suddenly attacked, the Mummy Wanderer stopped its aimless wandering and marched stiffly towards Shao. Unfortunately, with an absolute speed advantage, Shao could retreat while leisurely using interval attacks. Although it was in stealth mode throughout, under the illumination of the tomb torches, this greatest reliance was completely abolished. After six charged shots, the Mummy Wanderer was annihilated without resistance at the entrance of the underground palace.

  Battlefield Prompt: Kill 2/5 Mummy Monsters.

  The change in the optional task progress undoubtedly made Shao Yue's eyebrows happy. He only realized then that the mummy monster required for the Purify Evil task was not a specific one, but rather referred to all the mummy series monsters inside the tomb. This way, the difficulty of completing Optional Task 1 had greatly decreased.

  In the hall, there was more than one hidden mummy wanderer.

  With the first successful kill, it only took less than two minutes for Yan Shao to take down three more wanderers, completing the Purify Evil quest and earning 100 Universal Points.

  Then it was Hu Si Ming's turn.

  Perhaps related to the five-man team, the number of mummy wanderers in this dungeon is also set at five. After Yan Shao killed four, the last one became Hu Si Ming's prey. After finding it in the corner of the dungeon hall, Yan Shao fired five charged bullets, hitting it until it was left with residual blood, and the final blow was completed by Hu Si Ming. In this way, with his 29-point attack power, even without opening up his talent, he can kill it before the mummy strikes back.

  "I'm about to level up!"

  Taking advantage of this time, Yan Shao Yu took a look at his own experience points and couldn't help but reveal a few hints of excitement.

  Ordinary level LV1 to LV2 requires 200 experience points. The compulsory course medicine package gave a small bottle of experience potion, adding 100 experience points. After the unified exam, he also got 82 more experience points. Next, he only needs to hunt two mummies and Shao will officially upgrade.

  Compared with him, Hu Si Ming is a bit worse off, currently having only 131/200 experience.

  "If there were a few more mummies wandering around in the underground palace..."

  Coincidentally, both of them came up with such an insatiable idea.

  After searching, they found the hanging stone gate key on the right side of the stone wall in the underground palace. With the help of the torch that could be hidden, a super high difficulty level that was originally considered a new tomb, became the easiest challenge to pass through. The two not only harvested a lot of experience but also achieved zero damage throughout the journey.

  If this gets out, it will probably shock a lot of freshmen.

  After opening the stone gate with the key, the two people arrived at the first floor of the mausoleum. Including the time wasted before, there was still one hour left on the countdown!

  "We're finally on the first floor underground!"

  As they approached the ground above their heads, Xie Zhen's confidence gradually recovered a bit. If the first layer of the mausoleum's level was as simple as the Death Hall just now, maybe they could really escape alive.

  As the layer closest to the ground, the area of the first layer of the mausoleum is undoubtedly larger than that of the two layers below. After carefully passing through the first bend, the front corridor suddenly widens and enters a huge burial pit with an area of over 1,000 square meters. The stone walls on both sides are painted with exquisite murals, depicting the deeds of Pharaohs in their lifetime, as well as unknown gods and sacred scarabs worshipped as totems. In the center of the burial pit stands row upon row of more than a hundred tomb guardian statues.

  The tomb guardian statues were wrapped in black crepe, holding knives and shields, lined up on both sides of the main passage of the burial pit. Although they were all trapped in a long sleep, these guards still exuded a strong and solemn atmosphere, which made it clear that they were not to be trifled with. Inspired by such momentum, the two did not even dare to breathe, and could only hold their breath and observe them.

  Battle Alert: Entering Mausoleum Guardian Army Formation!

  This sudden reminder really scared the two of them, and they almost thought this was a trap too. If they were surrounded by hundreds of such monsters, let alone the two of them, even if all five members of the team were here, along with Nightmares' team, they would surely be annihilated. Fortunately, these guardian statues are currently in a dormant state. As long as they don't disturb them, there should be no danger at all.

  "It's not suitable to stay here for long..."

  After exchanging a glance, both of them understood each other's thoughts.

  Although the guardian statues are now dead, heaven knows when they will suddenly come back to life. The safest approach is undoubtedly to hurry away quickly. So, the two of them simply took a quick glance and quietly left through the passage in the middle of the tomb.

  The whole process seems very smooth.

  Just as they were about to leave the burial pit, the two of them saw a peculiar lion-bodied and human-faced statue at the last tomb guardian statue. The monster statue was three meters high, and even from a distance, both of them could feel the powerful aura emanating from it. Probably thinking that the most dangerous section had already passed, and also out of curiosity, Yan Shao threw over an investigation habitually.

  Pharaoh's Guardian Beast, Common LV 4!

  Although there was no more information, this level still scared the two of them. Apart from the LV5 Tomb Guardian, this guy should be the second strongest monster in the tomb.

  "But why do I feel like it's moving?"

  Yan Shao rubbed his eyes, his voice somewhat surprised.
