Chapter 85 - Dungeon Quests Arent Easy (2/2)

It was a large square s.p.a.ce, the ground laid out with gray unknown rock, about a hundred black sarcophagi in a semicircular shape encircling a flight of steps in the distance.

The steps were about a meter high, and above them lay a large white sarcophagus, which seemed especially conspicuous amidst all the gray.

Behind the white sarcophagus was a tall white stela. Glowing light blue lines resembling veins slowly emerged and faded from the stone, repeating in this way.

This place was very quiet, so quiet that it was as if they were in a void. It was also very cold.

Hawk let out a long breath and a white mist came out of his mouth. “This situation is a bit familiar. When we walk over, will those glowing lines enter our bodies? And then a ghoul will rise from the white sarcophagus with a long frost sword and yell at us with unrelenting force¹?”

“You’ve played too much Maiden Scrolls¹.” Jett laughed and teased, “And you probably installed a lab².”

Roland, Hawk, and Link all revealed mysterious smiles at the same time.

Betta asked rather curiously, “What’s Maiden Scrolls?”

Roland was at a loss for a moment and said helplessly, “Go search it yourself online, I can’t explain.”

The other three people snickered.

While the five of them were talking and laughing, they walked out of the pa.s.sageway and carefully entered the vacant square s.p.a.ce.

A Light Ball flew up into the air. There were pillar-shaped rocks above their heads and temporarily no danger in sight.

In the middle of the hundred sarcophagi, there was a pa.s.sage that divided the sarcophagi between two sides.

The five of them walked over and had just reached the end of the pa.s.sage, but they suddenly stopped. Their line of sight had been obstructed by the sarcophagi, but they discovered that at the end of the road, four bodies were lying in the corner of the steps beneath the white coffin.

“Be careful, corpses mean danger.” Hawk inclined his s.h.i.+eld in front of his body and walked forward slowly.

At this moment, Roland had a strange expression on his face. He looked left and right and suddenly said, “All of you wait, I think something is not right—it feels a bit uncomfortable.”

Upon hearing these words, the other four immediately retreated and surrounded Roland in the middle.

Hawk diligently looked right and left, trying to find an enemy.

Jett started to cast status magic on himself, things like brute force enhancement, agility enhancement, nimble body, and so on.

The atmosphere was tense all of a sudden.

Roland said quietly, “Let’s retreat a little.”

Everyone retreated as he said.

Retreating back to near the pa.s.sage, the other four people relaxed their nerves a little.

Under their puzzled gazes, Roland said, “I am a mage, and I can sense the mental power fluctuations of others within a certain range. Walking down the aisle just now, I suddenly noticed that the coffins in the surroundings also exerted mental waves—it might have been because the sarcophagi isolated them that I could only recognize them when I got closer.”

Everyone felt s.h.i.+very as they instinctively looked toward the sarcophagi.

Jett asked, “How many are there?”

“Almost all of them.”

Now, the other four didn’t want to speak even more—no wonder Roland’s reaction just now was so strange.

Hawk was startled for a while before he gasped out, “I knew this dungeon quest wasn’t that easy.”
