Chapter 1268: 408. Dark Infiltration

An hour later.

The players who had come to the Underground Treasure Chamber to take on the trial task had logged off.

In the vast Treasure Chamber, only Noland Lee and a pile of undead remnants remained.

“Hmm~~finally quiet.”

Noland Lee stood up from his seat, stretched lazily, and shook his shoulders a few times.

Ever since he had awoken in outer space, he had always sat on a hard stone chair.

Even now, as a skeleton frame, he felt somewhat overwhelmed and faintly felt some back and waist pain.

“It’s a good time to clean up here, while the players retreat to the safe zone and log off.”

Noland Lee turned his head to look at the seat behind him, pointed his finger, and unlocked the mechanical lock inside the seat with the “Knocking Technique”.

With a forward push of his right hand, releasing a steady stream of air, Noland Lee easily moved the seat cover away.

An underground tunnel entrance, about two meters squared, appeared before him.

A decaying and eerie scent flowed out from the entrance too, carrying waves of sour, unpleasant odors.

Noland Lee faced the tunnel entrance, huffed heavily, and cast the “Sound Seeker Technique”.

The sound waves spread downward, continuously constructing a detection map in Noland Lee’s mind.

This was an underground tunnel more than three kilometers long, spiraling down to an underground space with a pond.

In the very center of the pond, there was a skull emitting black gas.

This was the death artifact broadcasting a mysterious signal across the universe.

Noland Lee recalled the information passed down by the Scroll Angel, finding details about this object.

If Noland Lee was not mistaken, this thing was called the “Corrosive Skull”.

Any life creature or undead that came into contact with this skull would be forcibly transformed into a Corrosive Demon Servant.

The Corrosive Demon Servants, minions of the skull, were endowed the ability to spread the corrosive plague and, driven by the skull, spread the malignant plague everywhere.

From the functionality of the skull, it was clear that its original master has an undeniable connection with “plague”.

And indeed, it was so.

In the era of the Supreme Star Palace, the Corrosive Skull was indeed the trademark item of the “Corrosive Overlord”.

Noland Lee thought about it and was more certain that the appearance of the Stone Serpent Demon in this location was no coincidence.

There must be the shadow of the Dark Divine Cult behind this.

“Looks like, I need to take a chance to visit Lisom-14. Maybe I’ll find the people from the Dark Divine Cult there,” he mused.

Despite his thoughts, Noland Lee did not enter the tunnel.

It was better to destroy something like the Corrosive Skull to prevent it from harming anyone.
