Translator: 549690339 I

Looking at the burly man struggling in the black mist, Qian Xiaohao’s face turned ugly as he murmured to himself, “Impossible, how could this be? The Imperial Dragon Demon Palace never had this black mist, why is it here now?”

Qian Xiaohao had entered the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace several times before and had never encountered such a situation. Otherwise, he would never have let his follower push open the gate.

“Big Brother, the Second Brother…he…” Another follower behind him looked at the burly man slowly losing his vitality, and tears welled up in his eyes.

The black mist began to disappear slowly after it corroded the burly man. By the time everyone was sure that the black mist had dispersed and the danger was gone, they found that the burly man was already lifeless; his body dehydrated and shriveled up into the size of a seven or eight-year-old child.

The previous NPCs who had attempted to open the door were all relieved, thankfully, they lacked the strength to do so. Otherwise, they would have been the ones turned into mummies.

However, Qian Xiaohao’s face looked terrible. While it wouldn’t matter as much for the others, these two followers were his own recruits, not belonging to the clan’s power. The loss of one of them made him feel heartbroken.

The group waited again for a while, and when they confirmed that there were no abnormalities, they entered through the bronze gate. Inside the gate was pitch black, but there were twinkling stars overhead, as if they were outside.

Depending on the starlight overhead, they could barely see their surroundings.

By this time, the vertical pupil in Song Jian’s forehead had quietly opened, scanning the surroundings. The vertical pupil had night vision, allowing him to see further and clearer than others in the dark.

Behind the bronze gate lay a structure similar to an underground palace, which was the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace. Once Song Jian entered, he couldn’t help drawing in a sharp breath.

This underground palace was filled with corpses everywhere; humans, elves, dwarfs, trolls, beastmen, almost all races could be seen here.

Moreover, Song Jian also saw numerous remnants of other creatures. The palace was extravagantly decorated, with coiling dragon pillars towering high. These columns were also shackled with mummies wrapped in iron chains. Each of these mummies was holding their heads high, their mouths wide open, as if they were constantly releasing silent roars.

There were also obvious bite marks on these shackled mummies, some of their faces were even completely devoid of flesh. One must wonder what terrifying tragedy took place here.

Just then, the mummies lying on the ground as if they had sensed the presence of the living, began to revive one by one. Even those on the coiling dragon pillars started to tear the chains that bound them.

These iron chains were already decayed, breaking apart one after another, the mummies instantly regained their freedom.

“Hehe~”

Howls of mutated zombies were emitted from the mouths of these mummies. One by one the corpses slowly stood upright and pounced on the group.

However, seeing this scene, it appeared to be within everyone’s predictions. All the NPCs drew their weapons and began battling these mummies.

“Damn, these mummies are all level 15 elite bosses, there are too many. This dungeon is a bit horrifying, isn’t it?” One of the players in the back screamed after checking the attributes of these mummies.

“Level 15 elite bosses? Impossible, how can there be so many?”

“Damn, it’s true. They are all level 15 elite bosses. Luckily we have these NPCs with us, otherwise no matter how many people we bring, we would all be wiped out!”

“Charge, let’s go! We just need to deal damage with these NPCs tanking for us.

If we can kill one boss, we kill one boss. All of these are bosses!”

Hearing this man’s roar, all the players were stunned for a moment, then started rushing towards the monsters.

For a while, various attacks flooded over the crowd of mummies like a torrent. Various colors of energy beams even illuminated the surrounding hall.

The player’s powerful momentum gave the NPCs a good scare. Only when they realized that the players were attacking the mummies did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After exchanging glances, all the NPCs began to be wary of the players behind them.

Song Jian didn’t care about this. Apart from keeping the “Immortal Sword Body” and “Morphing into Dark Cloud” skills at hand and not summoning any creatures, he immediately launched full firepower, rushing towards the mummies.

Broken Wing Dance!

Song Jian’s Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword swung out, emitting a dark red light. The third stage attack directly threw seven or eight mummies into the air.

Sword Finger!

A silver light illuminated a large area around them in an instant. Qian Xiaohao squinted as he stared intently at Song Jian, who felt a gaze full of malice coming from the side.

Turning his head to look, Qian Xiaohao had a trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded slightly towards Song Jian.

Bang!

A mummy fell to the ground, its vitality points reduced to zero. With a “boom”, a black flame rose directly, burning the mummy to ashes within seconds.

Clang!

A crisp noise resounded as a green gemstone the size of a fingernail rolled out from the ashes.

“Green Gemstone (White): Inlayable, Use Effect: Can be inlaid on helmets, chest armour, trousers, gloves, leggings, physique attribute +1; Use requirement: Inlayed items level 10.”

A gemstone that can enhance attributes?

Song Jian looked at the green gemstone the size of a fingernail in his hand, a surprised expression appearing on his face.

Song Jian had acquired inlayable items before, but he had never seen one that directly increased attributes.

Seeing the green gemstone in Song Jian’s hand, all the NPCs had greedy looks in their eyes. If it weren’t for fearing Song Jian’s powerful strength, these people would probably try to snatch the gemstone directly.

“Gems, indeed, gems can drop in the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace…” One of the NPCs stared at the gemstone in Song Jian’s hand in a daze, mumbling to himself.

“Haha, so many mummies, all mine, the gems are all mine too!” Another NPC seemed to have been stimulated, breaking out his full strength and charging towards the mummies.

Song Jian took a deep breath. It seemed that these gems were indeed valuable, or else these NPCs wouldn’t be so fanatic.

“Could the red gems required to upgrade the Blood Pool be obtained here?” A sudden spark of inspiration stirred in Song Jian’s mind.

Upon this thought, Song Jian became excited, wanting to reveal all his cards and slaughter all the mummies.

“This mummy was killed by me; that gemstone is also mine. Why are you plundering my spoils of war!” A not-too-distant NPC who was an archer pointed at a human NPC and shouted angrily.

“Just because you say you killed it means you did? I also contributed. As for the spoils of war, it naturally belongs to whoever grabs it. If you’re too slow, who can you blame?” The warrior NPC glanced dismissively at the archer and snorted coldly before throwing himself at a mummy nearby.

Song Jian looked around and indeed, nearly all the NPCs were unleashing their wide-range group attack skills. They didn’t aim to eliminate all the mummies, but at least dealt damage to them and acquired the right to pick up the loot.

Seeing this scene, Song Jian smirked and couldn’t help chuckling.
