Chapter 362 Ancient Mummy Desert Death
Richard's arrival saved Lu Gaoyin from danger.

After living in the palace, Jie Haiyin did his best to send all kinds of delicacies and beauties to Richard, and Richard naturally did not refuse. He opened his mouth and ate the grapes that the beauties brought to his mouth. Richard lay on his side and found a more comfortable position in the warm and elastic arms of the two beauties.

Several dancers were dancing nearby, wearing veils and various gold and silver ornaments on their slender waists. Their dancing postures were enchanting, their faces covered by veils, their eyes charming and seductive, and they were very attractive.

These dancers have been trained since childhood on how to arouse men's interest, but they are still a little inferior to succubi.

"Jerhain, I know you want me to help you solve the crisis in Lugain."

"Sir, as long as you can get rid of those demons, we are willing to pay any price, even letting you become king." Jehain said respectfully.

"I have no interest in worldly power." Richard waved his hand and said, "I need you to help me search for various books about magic."

"Just collecting books?" Jehain had already prepared to give up the throne, but now when he heard that Richard just wanted to collect books, he felt very surprised, and at the same time he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, all kinds of books about magic, including those of disappeared sects."

After hearing Richard's words, he quickly assured: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to help you search!"

Soon, the first batch of books delivered were various magic books collected by the library of the Kingdom of Lugain. Richard directly asked the system to scan them and then collect them into the Soul Library.

After resting in the palace for two days, Richard asked Flavius ​​to clear out all the demons in the palace dungeon. However, he did not go to that alternate dimension.

He planned to find the Horadric Cube first, and then there was the problem of the sun. In fact, Richard was very interested in the problem of the sun, and he could create a solar eclipse and seize part of the sun's power. This power should involve rules.

After sealing the palace dungeon, Richard and Flavius, under the guidance of Jerhain, headed to the Temple of Death. The Temple of Death is a temple deep in the Death Desert, and it is unknown when it was built.

After walking in the desert for several days, Richard and his companions finally found the Temple of Death in a desert. Outside the temple stood a obelisk.

"Sir, this is the Temple of Death!" said the guide respectfully.

"You wait outside for us to come out." Richard said to the guide.

There are a large number of images carved on the obelisk, many of which have been worn away by wind and sand over time.

The remaining images are mostly broken, and the most complete one is a wolf-human god weighing a heart on a scale.

According to Jehain's information, this Temple of Death is a huge underground maze with a large number of undead creatures, mummies, etc. It has always been a forbidden area.

The entrance to the Temple of Death is on the right side of the obelisk. The entrance is made of giant stone slabs, with many sculptures and carved symbols on it. These are lost hieroglyphs.

Richard's constant knowledge of words allows him to understand the meaning of these words, but many of them are incomplete.

"Sir, it's very dangerous in here. I smell a strong breath of death. How about letting me go in and explore?" Flavius ​​said.

"No need." Richard had not shown any strength so far, which made Flavius ​​believe that Richard's strength was limited.

"Sir, there are a lot of undead here, and they can be resurrected continuously." The guide next to him reminded.

Richard nodded, summoned two skeletons and said, "These two skeletons will protect you. Just wait for us nearby. If we don't come out in three days, you can go back first."

"Sir, I will wait for you to come back!" said the guide.

Richard took Flavius ​​into the pyramid. He had just asked the system tower spirit to scan it. This temple of death was very large and had an inverted pyramid structure.

Because the Temple of Death is shrouded in a force of death, the Tower Spirit's scan cannot scan all of it, and part of it is blocked by energy. However, the current map can also show that this Temple of Death has four floors.

The structure of the first floor has been clearly scanned by the tower spirit, and the path in this maze has been marked.

After entering the labyrinth, it was very dark inside. Flavian's helmet illuminated the surroundings. There were many sarcophagi in the labyrinth. Some of the sarcophagi had been destroyed and were empty. This should be the work of tomb robbers.

Countless scarlet eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness, and then countless huge bats flew towards the two.

Flavius ​​fired arrows continuously, and the fire storm swept away, burning the big bats directly to ashes. After going deep into the maze, some mummies soon appeared. However, these mummies looked like tomb robbers.

Richard summoned several skeletons to quickly clear out the monsters. There were many murals painted on the passage. The contents of the murals were basically promoting the greatness of the God of Death and some of the deeds he had done.

In addition to these, there are also drawings of scarabs and the process of mummification.

The first level of the maze is very large, but it is mostly filled with mummies, dry corpses, scarabs and vampire bats, and various traps will suddenly appear in some passages.

Flip boards, poison gas, bows and arrows, barbs, etc., after thousands of years, there are still many things that can be used.

Richard took Flavius ​​to find the entrance to the second floor. After entering the second floor, the number of various monsters began to increase dramatically, and a giant mummy appeared. This mummy could resurrect other mummies.

Flavius ​​kept shooting arrows, and soon all the monsters were wiped out. The second level of the maze was much smaller than the first level, and the two successfully passed the second level and came to the third level.

The scope of the third-level maze is even smaller, but the monsters' strength has also increased a lot.

As the two entered, the surrounding sarcophagi opened one after another, and mummies walked out one after another. In addition to the mummies, a large number of skeleton knights also rushed out.

The Skeleton Knight is a giant skeleton that is three meters tall, has four or six arms, and attacks quickly. Unfortunately, it can still be killed instantly by Flavian's arrows.

Flavius's arrows continued to fly, and various spells were raging in the hall. In just a few minutes, more than a dozen spells swept back and forth, turning the skeletons and mummies into bone slag.
The two cleared out monsters along the way and soon found a statue of the Grim Reaper.

The statue of the god of death is located in the center of the hall. The center of the hall is sunken, and a large number of golden vessels are piled up at the feet of the statue. Obviously, these are sacrifices by believers.

This is the passage leading to the fourth floor. Next to this hall, there is a huge burial pit filled with bones. Richard made a simple calculation and found that there are at least tens of thousands of skeletons piled up here.

"Mass grave! The people who built this place were so cruel!" Richard took a quick look around. The murals on the wall were still praising the god of death, and there was also a picture of the god of death weighing the good and evil of a heart.

A heart is placed on one end of the scale, and a feather is placed on the other end. As long as a person's sins are greater than his goodness, they will become heavier than the feather and be punished by the god of death. The remaining wall records the scene of the sacrifice to the god of death.

According to the records above, the history of this Temple of Death is at least three thousand years old.

"Master, this can be opened!" Flavi's voice suddenly sounded.

Richard walked over to check, and saw a stone platform under the statue of death, which was blocked by a large number of golden vessels. There was a black hole on the side of the stone platform.

Before the two of them could go down, the coffins around them opened one after another, and mummies surrounded by the breath of death appeared one after another.

This Temple of the Death has existed for more than three thousand years, which means that these specially made mummies have been sealed here for more than three thousand years.

Nourished by the rich power of death, these mummies made in a special way have been upgraded to ancient mummies.

This monster is a pseudo-legend, with a challenge level of 15. It also has some disgusting abilities, such as Despair Solidification and Corrosive Poison. One is to detect willpower, and the other is poison, which is also very contagious. If killed by the corrosive poison, it will be transformed into a mummy.

Moreover, this kind of monster is immune to poison, sleep, paralysis, disease, death and other states. Of course, they also have their own weaknesses, which is fear of fire.

A ball of mysterious fire appeared in Richard's palm, and then he threw it towards the ancient mummies. The mysterious fire was just a small flame at first, but after it landed on the mummies, it instantly ignited a big fire.

As one of the abilities of the Archmage, the power gained at the cost of permanently losing a ninth-ring spell was the nemesis of these mummies. Flavius ​​kept shooting, and the mummies were hit by various magics without any chance to fight back, and were soon burned to ashes.

[Soul Binding Technique! ]

[Soul shock! ]

Rays of spiritual light flew out instantly, directly binding the souls of the dead mummies, and then a powerful soul attack instantly dispersed the souls of the mummies. All the mummies' souls lost their form and turned into a ball of soul energy.

【Soul Siphon! 】

Richard took out several magic gems, and the powerful force directly extracted the soul power, imprisoning the souls of these ancient mummies in the magic gems.

[Desperate Ancient Mummy Soul Stone]

Six purple soul crystals fell into his hands. These six soul crystals were also legendary soul crystals.

After getting rid of these mummies, Richard began to clean up the battlefield. There were many burial objects in the coffins, but most of them were cursed. Some of the high-value items were collected by him.

All the golden utensils were also taken away. After dealing with the mummies, Richard discovered a hidden secret room next to it. Various tools for mummification were placed in this secret room. It was a room used for mummification, and all the tools here were made of gold.

After leaving here, the two came to the fourth floor. The space on the fourth floor was very small. There was no dazzling maze, but a hall.

The hall is dedicated to the statue of the God of Death, which still has a dog's head and a human body. Well, to be more precise, it is a jackal's head. This statue of the God of Death is very different from the one on the third floor.

The Death God holds a long-bladed battle axe in one hand and a scale in the other. The Desert Death God is not common in the multiverse, and the desert pantheon disappeared long ago.

Although gods are immortal, it does not mean that they will not die. There are many pantheons that have disappeared in the multiverse, and they all perished in the war of gods.

There are still remnants of the desert gods here.

There are huge rock pillars in this hall, and there are many bottles and jars in the corners. The contents inside have long been rotten, but there are still many murals on the walls. The murals depict a son of God descending from the sky and landing in the desert.

Then he brought civilization to the desert and established a powerful country in the oasis of the desert. This son of God became the king and spread the Desert Death Cult. He was the high priest of the desert pantheon.

This civilization established a glorious civilization in the desert and built huge temples. Many of the abandoned temples in the desert today should have been built by them.

This son of God ruled this desert for a long time, perhaps hundreds of years, perhaps thousands of years. When he was about to die, he built a huge temple and used it as his mausoleum.

Seeing this, Richard understood that this Temple of Death should be the tomb of the Son of God, and the murals ended here. Richard also found some figures of necromancers in the murals. It is very likely that the necromancers in this world also gained some knowledge and power from here.

After the death of the Son of God, this once glorious desert empire was eventually lost in countless yellow sands.

At this moment, the tower spirit suddenly warned that a large number of monsters were approaching. A large number of densely packed dots suddenly appeared in the scanning range of the system tower spirit.

buzzing.

Along with the sound of insects crawling, countless black beetles crawled out from the sand and pounced on Richard and the other man.

【Death Scarab! 】

This is a common tactic used by the Desert Grim Reaper. Hundreds of thousands of beetles can chew an elephant to its bones in an instant.

【Fire wall technique! 】

Richard raised his hand, and countless walls of fire appeared on the ground in an instant. The raging flames immediately burned the scarabs into charcoal, but the scarabs seemed to be completely fearless and kept rushing up, and a layer of charred powder soon accumulated on the ground.

After more than ten minutes, the endless black swarm of insects slowly faded away. At this time, the air was filled with a burning stench.

Richard waved his hand gently, and a powerful whirlwind appeared, blowing away the stench. Then Richard found a mechanism, and after opening it, a wall next to it slowly fell down.

There are a large number of coffins placed in the secret room. These should be the victims buried alive with the Son of God, or his concubines.

"Master, look over there!" Flavie's voice rang out. Richard looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a cube box placed on a strange platform inside.

Next to the box is an exquisitely carved sarcophagus.
