Guess, now I feel relieved
“Descent time: two and a half minutes.”
“According to the free-fall formula, have I arrived at ten thousand meters below ground?”
In the darkness.
Lin Xuan, treading on a vortex of air, slowly descended to the ground.
Lin Xuan looked around.
The surroundings were pitch black.
He couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.
“Tsk, the visibility around here is even lower than the black mist.”
He could only see within three meters.
“Sooner or later, I’ll deal with you.”
Lin Xuan mumbled a few words.
He felt extremely indignant.
The eye, needless to say, was the same eye he had seen from afar during the anomaly in Jianghai City.
No need to guess.
It was definitely related to the great terror rumored to be in Divine Grace Cemetery.
If the relics with mythical figures posed potential dangers.
Life Forbidden Zones were outright, explicit dangers.
Each Life Forbidden Zone represented at least one Monarch-level Demon above Level 400 residing within it.
Above World-level was Overlord-level.
And Monarch-level.
That was a tier higher than Overlord-level creatures.
Globally, seven Life Forbidden Zones had been discovered so far.
Each Life Forbidden Zone contained at least one Monarch-level Demon.
Take the most recently discovered Life Forbidden Zone, for instance.
That was discovered by the Beautiful Country.
When they explored it.
They discovered a Monarch-level Demon.
The Beautiful Country was confident.
As the world's largest country, they possessed the globe's top professional, Einstein.
Furthermore, among the top ten in the world, the Beautiful Country had five.
After discovering the Life Forbidden Zone.
The Beautiful Country confidently dispatched two of their top figures, excluding Einstein, to enter and attempt to encircle and eliminate that Monarch-level Demon.
However.
Those few top figures who entered never came out again.
The Beautiful Country was unwilling to give up.
They sent more teams a few more times.
They even sought help from Einstein.
However, even with such top-tier figures of Blue Star making an appearance.
After entering, they still failed to make any waves.
Ultimately.
They could only reluctantly declare that place a Life Forbidden Zone.
“The strength of a Monarch-level Demon should be comparable to Change.”
“What does such a powerful being want with me here?”
After that eye transferred him here.
There was no further information.
If he hadn't sensed no danger to his life.
Lin Xuan would have already used the moonstone to enter the Guanghan Palace Ruins and asked Change for help.
After all, he was the foreman of the Guanghan Palace renovation team.
Change should protect him, right?
He waited in place for another two and a half minutes, but there was still no movement.
Lin Xuan simply took out his death scythe, gathered a ball of Soul Fire at its tip, and looked around.
The surroundings were not spacious; rather, they were a bit narrow.
On both sides were grayish-white rocks.
There were passages in front and behind.
It looked like the alleys he had encountered in the underground city of the Dragon Gate Grottoes before.
Lin Xuan did not choose to act immediately.
Firstly, it was too dark here.
And he hadn't bought night vision goggles.
Secondly.
He had just fallen down.
Although he hadn't yet figured out the situation here.
He already had a vague guess about this place.
If his guess was correct.
Then this place was a great opportunity, but also a place of great risk.
“I hope it’s the place I’m thinking of.”
Lin Xuan thought, then casually transferred four Bat Spirits from his Frost Domain.
Two in front and two in back, flying slowly to scout the environment.
It had to be said.
The variety of Demons in the Longmen Grottoes Relic was truly perfect.
Lin Xuan even felt a bit like entering again.
After all, as his level increased.
These Demons, converted into Undead, were increasingly unable to keep up.
Unless they were Demons like the Bat Spirit that could play a miraculous role in specific environments.
Of course.
The actual Demon levels in the Longmen Grottoes Relic ranged roughly from Level 90 to Level 200.
If he really went.
That would be another opportunity to expand his Undead army.
“What a pity, I have to participate in the freshman exchange competition this National Day.”
“Otherwise, I could take advantage of the holiday to go to Luo City.”
As he was deep in thought.
The Bat Spirits sent out to scout the environment made a discovery.
Lin Xuan used the effect of his unique equipment to switch to the summoned creature's perspective.
First, the two in front.
The terrain here had changed; it was no longer a passage.
Instead, it was a space similar to an underground city.
Here.
There were also several Demon corpses.
And an extinguished bonfire.
“Someone has been here?”
Lin Xuan frowned, then switched to the perspective of the two behind.
Unlike the front.
The back was still a passage here.
Only within the passage.
There was a humanoid corpse!
Seeing the humanoid corpse, Lin Xuan's eyes lit up.
Then he controlled one of the Bat Spirits behind to approach.
This corpse was wearing leather armor, and its hands also had magical equipment.
But none of that was important.
The most important thing was.
On the face of this humanoid corpse.
There was a magical pattern.
Only half of the face was visible, making it impossible to see the specific pattern clearly.
But Lin Xuan was almost certain of his guess!
He had most likely arrived at the Underground Palace!
The so-called Underground Palace.
Was the passage connecting the Demonic Realm to Blue Star.
It was in the shape of a nine-story pagoda.
It could also be called the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace.
If his guess was correct.
This place was very likely the culprit behind the anomaly in Divine Grace Cemetery.
A new Underground Palace created by the Otherworld Demons!
“My luck… is a bit good.”
Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised, then controlled the two Bat Spirits in front to return.
He planned to go to the back to check the situation.
After all, if this was truly the Underground Palace.
Then there would be quite a few Otherworld Demons.
For him, as long as no Third-Order or Fourth-Order Demons appeared.
They would all be one-shot kills!
“These are all experience, attributes, and skill points.”
Lin Xuan smiled.
He casually raised Summon Undead to Level 9 first.
【Consuming Skill Points × 9!】
【Skill · Summon Undead, successfully raised to Level 9!】
【New unit unlocked — Skeleton Mage!】
【Description: Skeleton Mages will be divided into Ordinary Skeleton Fire Mages, Elite Skeleton Ice Mages, Epic Skeleton Wind Mages, and Legendary Skeleton Thunder Mages!】
“Fire, Ice, Wind, Thunder, four Elemental Mages.”
“Not bad.”
Lin Xuan nodded, feeling a wave of comfort.
After snatching the kill of the Fourth-Order Demon, due to achieving the 'Slay Demigod' accomplishment, his level rose two levels.
He was now Level 69.
Only 53 percent away from reaching Level 70.
At this level.
He had already raised the core skill level of the Necromancer profession to Level 9.
If he told others, many probably wouldn't believe it.
Some might even call him a fool.
After all, no matter how strong a core skill was, raising it only one level was still weak.
But in reality.
Lin Xuan didn't just have this one high-level skill.
“Level 9, I can slow down now and raise the levels of other skills.”
Buzz buzz —
Suddenly.
There was a vibrating sound from his waist.
Lin Xuan was startled.
He looked down.
An ox horn was hanging from his waist.
“I almost forgot about you.”
This ox horn was nothing else.
It was Chen Wanqiu's item.
They each had one.
It could be used for remote communication.
At this moment, the ox horn vibrated.
Needless to say, Chen Wanqiu was calling him from the other side.
Lin Xuan immediately focused his mind into it.
On the other side.
Chen Wanqiu stood outside the relic, holding the ox horn.
“Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan, can you hear me?”
“I can hear you…”
Lin Xuan conversed with Chen Wanqiu while heading towards the Demon corpse.
During this time.
He briefly described his surroundings and the Demon corpse.
And also summoned Irena and his other contracted beasts.
Facing an Underground Palace that was highly likely occupied by Otherworld Demons.
Lin Xuan naturally found large-scale army combat more suitable.
However, the surrounding terrain was a bit narrow.
It would be better to deploy elite troops.
After chatting with Chen Wanqiu for a few moments and learning of Zhang Fan's decision, Lin Xuan ended the conversation.
He composed himself and continued exploring the surroundings.
If Zhang Fan and the others were fast.
It was very likely that General General Li would arrive soon.
At that time.
His rescue was inevitable.
But this would definitely be a loss.
After all, he hadn't even started killing Demons to farm attributes and skill points yet.
Without stopping.
Lin Xuan quickly arrived beside the Demon corpse.
He flipped the corpse over.
Looking at the mountain-shaped pattern on the corpse's face, Lin Xuan nodded.
“Good, it's them indeed.”
“Now I can rest assured.”
“Time to start farming…”
