96: Inside the underground palace

Before Li Changkong could react, one remnant soul after another quickly approached him.

These remnant souls looked similar, all with crimson eyes and full of Killing Intent.

However, to Li Changkong's surprise, these remnant souls were fully equipped.

Besides the spearmen, there were also swordsmen, shield-bearers, and archers.

In just a moment, more than a dozen remnant souls had emerged from the passage.

Facing these remnant souls, Li Changkong did not dare to be careless and immediately summoned his two pets.

Although the opponents were in a spirit state, they were practically no different from physical entities.

However, the drop rate of dark attribute crystal cores from the opponents was indeed much higher than Li Changkong had imagined, almost reaching seventy to eighty percent.

After killing just over a dozen remnant souls, he obtained eight or nine dark attribute crystal cores.

Upon acquiring these crystal cores, Li Changkong naturally handed them to Black Flame beside him without delay.

Facing the Rank 3 crystal cores, Black Flame was naturally excited, knowing how beneficial these items were to it.

So, whenever Li Changkong dropped them, it would immediately consume them.

The entire passage was quite long, so the number of monsters within it naturally exceeded Li Changkong's imagination.

Facing the large groups of monsters, Li Changkong had no worries.

He steadily advanced along the way, and facing the opponents' coordination, Li Changkong took the opportunity to hone his combat experience.

Although the opponents were just ordinary monsters, their combat experience was by no means weak.

Perhaps for this reason, Li Changkong's battles were quite interesting.

What's more, the opponents had so many dark attribute crystal cores, which were of great use to Li Changkong.

He didn't know how long he had been advancing, but after killing roughly two hundred remnant souls, he finally reached the end of the passage.

But at this point, he felt a bit of a complaint; the passage seemed a bit too short.

After consuming so many crystal cores, Black Flame was on the verge of evolving.

After such a long time, Black Flame was finally about to evolve into its complete form, which naturally excited Li Changkong.

Once it evolved into its complete form, he believed Black Flame's strength would increase once again.

At that time, Black Flame's strength would definitely be much greater than it was now, and it would provide him with even more assistance.

At the end of the passage was a stone door.

On the stone door, there were also many murals.

The most striking among them was probably the extremely mighty general depicted on the mural.

The general in the mural was broad-shouldered and stout, quite similar to the ancient martial generals described in books.

He also had two saber scars on his face, looking fierce and menacing, yet fitting the identity of a general.

Li Changkong had already sensed something was amiss at this point, but he did not speak further.

The stone door in front of him suddenly began to tremble slightly, and Li Changkong had already guessed what was about to happen.

Thinking of this, he slowly retreated.

Indeed, the martial general from the original mural slowly walked out of the wall, like a ghost.

The general's appearance and physique seemed much more robust than the picture in front of him.

Every movement carried a sense of Killing Intent, causing people to feel a hint of fear.

【Name: Elite General (Purple Boss)】

【Rank: 37】

【Skills: Stone Probe, Invigorating Charge…】

The general's panel appeared before Li Changkong, immediately putting him on high alert.

It was only then that Li Changkong finally understood why this quest was called five-star.

This was probably just a small boss, but he was a Purple Boss.

If this were in other dungeons, it would be an unimaginable existence.

In typical dungeons, a Purple Boss could be considered a big boss-level existence.

Facing the Elite General, the two beast pets had already blocked him.

And Li Changkong, as usual, kept casting skills from behind.

The Elite General's intelligence was actually quite a bit higher than that of other monsters.

He constantly tried to bypass the two beast pets to attack Li Changkong.

However, the coordination between the two beast pets and Li Changkong was unparalleled.

So, the opponent was unable to get close and was instead constantly kited.

Under such circumstances, the opponent's health was being worn down lower and lower, and it quickly bottomed out.

Finally, Li Changkong delivered a finishing blow with Fire Vein True Dragon, finally resolving the big trouble in front of him.

The items that dropped were also unsatisfactory; there wasn't even a single piece of equipment.

Since entering this Imperial Mausoleum, he hadn't obtained a single piece of equipment, as if the monsters here couldn't drop equipment.

Of course, it was just some equipment, and it wasn't of much use to Li Changkong.

Now, for them, lower-Rank equipment was basically only good for selling for money.

But for him, ever since he obtained several hundred million last time, he was not short of money at all now.

After resolving this major problem, they finally passed through the stone door.

Upon entering the stone door, the scene that appeared before Li Changkong made him widen his eyes even further.

Inside the stone door was a huge underground palace, almost like another Small World.

The size of the entire underground palace was like a massive plaza, and its occupied area was incredibly vast.

And at the center of this plaza were many clay sculptures, Terracotta Warriors.

These Terracotta Warriors were colorful, and their faces and equipment looked lifelike, just like the real thing.

The moment he entered the underground palace, Li Changkong seemed to hear the sound of a thousand horses and soldiers in his ears.

Li Changkong had learned a lot about history; he considered himself not a historical illiterate.

He knew about Zulong Emperor, and he also knew some information about Zu Long Imperial Mausoleum.

The Zulong Emperor in this parallel world was very similar to the Ancestral Dragon in his own world, but their experiences were quite different.

Li Changkong took a deep breath and walked among these Terracotta Warriors.

The number of these Terracotta Warriors was indeed too many, even making Li Changkong somewhat disbelieving.

What he was most worried about now was whether these Terracotta Warriors would revive.

There were thousands of Terracotta Warriors here; if they were to revive, he would probably be in big trouble.

It wasn't until he walked into the middle of those Terracotta Warriors that he realized his imagination was quite superfluous.

However, a faint rustling sound soon emanated from among these Terracotta Warriors.

Upon hearing that faint rustling sound, Li Changkong became completely alert.

His gaze quickly fell upon those Terracotta Warriors, only to discover small black figures crawling out from among them.
