Chapter 64: The Ghost Cave
I have nothing to do these days in Winterfell.
Ye Qi decided to take a walk around and take a look at this city covered in snow.
When the people in the city saw Ye Qi and his two companions, they greeted them very friendly.
As VIPs of the Stark family, Ye Qi and the other two's heroic deeds in rescuing the Stark family have been spread more and more exaggeratedly in recent times.
Some people even knelt down on the road, hoping that Ye Qi could teach them magic.
Ye Qi did not send him magic, but threw him a Rubik's Cube and told him that he would teach him magic when he could put the six sides together correctly.
Ye Qi demonstrated it in front of them, then threw the Rubik's Cube to them and let them play with it by themselves.
A group of people gathered around the Rubik's Cube and expressed their opinions, but no one succeeded in restoring it.
If they successfully recovered, Ye Qi would have a sixth-level Rubik's Cube waiting for them.
If someone really restored the sixth-order Rubik's Cube, Ye Qi wouldn't mind giving him a gift.
As soon as I walked out of the gate of Winterfell, a hunter ran over in panic.
The hunter bumped directly into Wang Jian, but Wang Jian stood still like a mountain and the man was knocked away.
"Help, help!" the hunter fell to the ground and shouted.
A group of people ran out.
"What's wrong with you, Busa? Were you attacked by a wild boar while hunting?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Busa swallowed his saliva and said, "Today I was hunting in the mountains and came across a cave on the cliff. The snow and wind were too strong at the time, so I wanted to hide in the cave. Guess what I encountered in there!?"
"A fair-skinned and beautiful girl?"
"A hibernating grizzly bear?"
"No, it's a White Walker!"
"White Walkers!?"
People suddenly became quiet.
"Old Busa, don't talk nonsense. The White Walkers are all north of the Wall. We are south of the Wall. How could there be White Walkers?"
"That's right, you must have seen it wrong."
People expressed doubts about this.
At this time, Ye Qi received a task reminder.
[Trigger the side quest, the Ghoul Cave. After clearing the Ghoul Cave, you will receive a related reward.]
If there is a mission, then it means what the hunter said is true.
Ye Qi walked up to the hunter and asked, "Where is that cave? Can you take me to see it?"
The hunter nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there. I want them to know that I didn't lie."
So the hunter took Ye Qi and the other two and headed towards the mountains in the northeast.
Soon Ye Qi followed the hunter to the foot of the mountain.
At this time, a cold wind was blowing here and light snow was falling from the sky.
The higher we climbed, the stronger the wind and snow became.
Following the winding path, the group reached the halfway point of the mountain.
The hunter pointed to the cliff over there and said, "Turn from there, there is a small cave."
Ye Qi and the other two easily walked along the cliff and arrived at the entrance of the small cave.
The hunter also followed to the entrance of the cave.
The hunter pointed to the inside of the cave and said, "There used to be a stone wall there, but I don't know when it was broken. The White Walker I saw is inside. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
Without waiting for everyone to speak, the hunter quickly left the cave and ran down the mountain in a hurry.
He was afraid that Ye Qi would drag him to the cave.
Looking at the dark cave, Wang Jian lit a torch and walked inside first.
Ye Qi and Haitang Duoduo followed closely behind.
After walking about ten meters, there was a staircase sloping downwards in front of us.
Going down the stairs carefully, you can smell a rotten smell.
Moreover, Ye Qi also heard some noises inside.
At the bottom of the stairs, there is an open stone door.
Looking through the stone gate, there was a dilapidated hall inside. In the hall, a humanoid monster was moving slowly with an axe in his hand.
Ye Qi put on a black eye mask that could display the monster's information.
[Undead warrior cursed after death]
[Attack Power]: Normal
[Movement Speed]: Normal
[Agility]: Weak
Not White Walkers, but Wights.
Suddenly, the corpse stopped, turned around and revealed its face.
The dry face looked like a pile of rotten flesh stuck on a skull, and the eyes were still glowing with blue flames.
The corpse roared and limped over with an axe in hand.
Before he could get close, Wang Jian cut him in half with a sword.
After this sword strike, the corpse ghost did not die.
Still crawling on the ground relying on his upper body, Ye Qi then struck the corpse ghost's head with his palm from a distance, and the powerful internal energy blew the corpse ghost's head into pieces.
"It's the first time I see this kind of creature. It's so scary." Haitang Duoduo said.
At this moment, a crackling sound came from the cave ahead.
Because of the sound of the battle just now, a large number of zombies woke up from inside, some crawled out of the wall, some crawled out of the coffin, and some crawled out from the ground.
A total of more than thirty zombies rushed out holding various weapons.
Wang Jian swung his sword and killed all the zombies with two sword strikes.
It's much easier than I thought.
The combat effectiveness of these zombies is roughly that of a stronger human soldier, which is far inferior to that of a grandmaster-level master like Wang Jian.
Continue to go deeper inside.
Another group of zombies were awakened.
Ye Qi and the other two did not walk in stealthily, but walked in openly, because these zombies could not pose any threat at all.
The next wave of zombies.
Ye Qi directly took out the Pandora of Disaster and transformed it into a flamethrower.
Under the high temperature of the flamethrower, the zombies were quickly turned into ashes.
Even those zombies that had not yet awakened were killed in their sleep by Ye Qi using a flamethrower.
Walking further forward, a stone door appeared in front of us.
There are three circles of mechanisms on the stone gate, and a different animal is printed on each mechanism.
"Bear, eagle, insect, what does this mean?" Haitang Duoduo looked at the pattern above in confusion.
"The mechanism should rotate and match the correct pattern to open the stone door." Ye Qi said.
Ye Qi observed these patterns. There was a claw-shaped hole in the center of the pattern. It should be opened with a key after aligning the pattern.
Ye Qi didn't have the key at all, so it would be useless even if the pattern was correct.
In that case, let's forcefully open this stone door.
"Wang Jian, cut open the stone gate!"
"As you command, young master!"
Wang Jian held the Kunwu sword and drew a cross, and the solid stone gate was destroyed in an instant.
The stone door was broken, and there was a different world inside.
Inside was a huge and bright cave.
The lights came from a huge stone tablet in the cave, with mysterious words engraved on it.
In front of the stone tablet, there is a huge coffin.
Based on Ye Qi's years of experience playing games, a monster will definitely jump out of this coffin.
"Let's go and take a look at the stone tablet."
Ye Qi was the first to walk into the huge cave, and could hear the sound of gurgling water.
A group of bats flew past the crowd, scaring Haitang so much that she hid in Ye Qi's arms.
Ye Qi glanced at the coffin and narrowed his eyes. There couldn't be a vampire in it.
