Chapter Forty-six Ancient Tomb

  After recovery, Xiao Yu walked into the pile of rocks and headed towards the direction of the ancient tomb in the distance.

  Among the piles of rocks, climbing up, at the halfway point, a dilapidated ancient tomb can be seen embedded in the cliff wall. The vicissitudes of time have left mottled marks on the tombstone, and the characters above are no longer recognizable. Faintly visible is that it was the script of the Erasia Empire era, that ancient and powerful empire, like these words, disappeared into the long river of history, leaving only some remaining traces.

  Next to the tombstone is an underground passageway, inside it's pitch black and unknown where it leads.

  Xiao Yu explored the surroundings for a while, confirming that there was no danger, and then walked down along the ancient tomb's stairs.

  A chill, damp breath hit him in the face, causing Xiao Yu to shrink back slightly. The stairs were covered with moss and his feet slipped on it, so he carefully paid attention to where he stepped.

  After passing through a dark tunnel, the surroundings gradually became brighter.

  The light source on the top of Xiao Yu's head was seen, only to see a few fist-sized night pearls inlaid at the top of the cave wall, one every three feet apart, emitting a glow that illuminated the entire tunnel.

  "What a huge night pearl." Xiao Yu couldn't help but exclaim, however, night pearls were not rare or precious things on the Enze Continent where magical items were abundant. Tomb raiders apparently didn't have much interest in them either.

  As he walked further into the bright tunnel, Xiao Yu felt that he was getting closer and closer to the center of the mountain, but he didn't know what would be inside.

  As I walked, a strange feeling suddenly came from underfoot, and this brick seemed to be movable.

  "Not good, it's a mechanism." Xiao Yu hastily withdrew his foot, but it was too late. He had already triggered the ancient tomb's mechanism.

  Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Dozens of green arrows shot out from the corners of the cave wall, flying straight towards Xiao Yu.

  Xiao Yu dodged left and right, constantly evading the incoming arrow attacks. Apart from dodging, Xiao Yu also had to carefully watch his step, or else he would trigger the second round of mechanisms and be done for.

  Xiao Yu moved to the left and stuck close to the wall of the cave, suddenly pulling in his belly, an arrow flew past Xiao Yu's abdomen.

  Another arrow shot straight at Xiao Yu, who was about to step forward and dodge it. However, his foot that was about to tread on the stone slab suddenly drew back because he noticed something unusual about the stone slab beneath his feet. If he had stepped on it, it would have likely triggered another trap.

  With that moment of hesitation, the flying arrow shot through Xiao Yu's shoulder, a damage value of 120 points floated above Xiao Yu's head, his skin turned emerald green, and his health was dropping point by point.

  "Such a high attack damage." Xiao Yu took several steps back, dodging several arrows flying towards him. The arrows flew past Xiao Yu's body and hit the wall of the cave beside him, embedding themselves deep into the rocky wall.

  After a round of arrow rain, it finally calmed down. Xiao Yu looked at his blood volume and still had more than 60 points left. Xiao Yu didn't dare to slack off and quickly sat down on the stone slab under his feet, eating bread to recover his blood volume.

  This ancient tomb is far more dangerous than I imagined, it's fraught with peril.

  The toxin's effect finally dissipated after ten seconds, and Xiao Yu's HP began to slowly rise, gradually recovering.

  Xiao Yu stood up, he didn't dare to be as careless as before, carefully paying attention to the stone slabs under his feet, every step he took had to be careful, Xiao Yu usually only walked like this when he was sneaking around.

  He had always been careful to walk on his tiptoes, which gave Xiao Yu a strange feeling. He found that walking this way had great benefits: first, he could tread lightly and react in time when triggering traps; second, it was extremely stealthy.

  "Thief." Xiao Yu muttered to himself, feeling that his understanding of the profession had made some progress.

  "Take it easy." Xiao Yu let himself gradually get used to this new way of walking, knowing that once he formed the habit, it would bring him great benefits.

  Cautiously stepping over a few stone slabs, Xiao Yu stuck close to the cave wall and walked further inside.

  In front of him was a vague shadow, as if some creature was moving around. Xiao Yu cautiously hid his body and looked in that direction, where several skull soldiers were moving about.

  "One, two, three... six." Xiao Yu counted carefully, and there were a total of six skull soldiers. Skull soldiers were a strange creature that would attack the undead tribe if they hadn't signed a contract with an undead sorcerer. Although the undead tribe was always accompanied by corpses, they were still humans with a breath of life.

  Six level-10 skeletal soldiers blocked Xiao Yu's path. With Xiao Yu's current strength, he was unable to kill such a large number of level-10 monsters and could only choose to bypass them. Xiao Yu entered stealth mode and slowly approached the six level-10 skeletal soldiers.

  As Xiao Yu was a member of the Wraith tribe, the aura of life on him wasn't very strong, so those skeleton soldiers didn't notice him at all.

  "It doesn't seem very difficult." Xiao Yu stuck close to these skull soldiers, brushing shoulders with them as he continued on his way.

  Passing through a narrow and long tunnel, Xiao Yu saw the scene in front of him and was immediately stunned. The white passageway in front of him was filled with more than thirty skull soldiers, crowded together, blocking the entire passageway, without even leaving a single gap.

  Xiao Yu, even if he had three heads and six arms, it would still be impossible for him to pass!

  "The main brain cannot provide an uncompletable task, there must be a way to get through here." Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment on the spot.

  "We need to lure these skull soldiers away first." Xiao Yu glanced around at the surrounding terrain, where many stone pillars stood tall and upright, not a bad place to hide.

  Xiao Yu hid in a relatively secluded place, quietly waiting for the cooldown of his stealth skill to pass.

  Stealth skill cooldown is complete, Xiao Yu calmed down and his heart gradually became calm. For such a high-difficulty task, it's extremely important to remain calm.

  Xiao Yu calmly walked towards those skeleton soldiers.

  Seeing Xiao Yu walking towards himself without any restraint, the skulls of the skeleton soldiers all gathered on Xiao Yu's body, muttering and shouting in their mouths, waving the sickles in their hands and surrounding Xiao Yu.

  Only attracted more than a dozen skeleton soldiers, not enough! Xiao Yu dodged some of the skeleton soldiers' encirclement and accelerated towards those skeleton soldiers who were not attracted.

  "Hiss! The snake-fang dagger sliced through one of the skull soldiers, and Xiao Yu's shoulder also took a heavy blow from a scythe, leaving him with 63% HP remaining."

  Those skull soldiers who were originally standing still also surrounded Xiao Yu, finally attracting all the skull soldiers. Xiao Yu didn't dare to stay and led a group of skull soldiers to rush towards the distance wildly.
