Chapter154

  "Stop them!" Kenmet gave an order, and the silver mercenaries quickly raised their shields, lined up closely, and blocked the cemetery exit, which was less than five meters wide.

  However, rotten coffins were constantly destroyed in the cemetery, and the golden skeleton warriors stood up, which was chilling.

  "Boss, what level do you think the skeleton in the iron can is?" Hugo stared curiously at the monster wearing dragon scale armor behind the group of golden skeletons, and joked: "That armor looks good, maybe it's suitable for you to wear..."

  "Shut up, you guy!" Captain Kenmet was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He chopped a golden skeleton with a sword and really wanted to turn around and slash the troublemaker under his command.

  Even the minions are golden level, what level would the guy wearing dragon armor be?

  This is not a joke, right?

  Thousands of golden skeletons, and a skeleton knight of unknown level, you kid don't worry about your own life, but are interested in other people's armor? Why are the thinking of thieves so unique?

  Kenmet has "almost" gotten used to the existence of these "weird teammates" in the team. Almost every time he goes on an adventure, it is Hugo and his thieves who cause trouble.

  But there is nothing that can be done about it. Thieves are not as knowledgeable as the magician Jialan. They don't know what they can touch and what they can't touch. Their professional characteristics are destined to make them prone to trouble.

  Old mercenaries often say that honest thieves are not good thieves.

  In the adventure, the team relies on their curiosity and adventurous spirit to detect the traps and treasures in the ruins.

  If you don't touch anything because you are afraid of danger, go in fully armed, and then return empty-handed, it's not called "ruins adventure", it's called "scenic spot play"!

  Moreover, the highest casualty rate in the mercenary group is often thieves. Their job is to cause trouble, and the mess after the trouble needs to be cleaned up by the main combat personnel.

  Just like the old thief beside the magician Jia Lan, the arm he lost must have been caused by some dangerous mechanism.

  This is a profession that uses life to satisfy curiosity. Once they lose their curiosity and adventurous spirit, they will no longer be able to be a thief.

  Therefore, although Kenmet was very angry, he did not blame Hugo too much. Instead, he took the responsibility of cleaning up the mess and guarded the exit of the cemetery with his silver mercenaries to prevent those golden skeletons from rushing out.

  It is impossible to destroy thousands of golden skeletons by just these people, even if the entire Golden Two-Headed Dragon Mercenary Group is dispatched.

  So, several earth magicians in the team began to cast magic desperately, and walls of earth rose from the ground, piling up layer by layer at the entrance of the cemetery, trying to seal it off.

  The ten-layer one-foot thick earth walls were reinforced by the earth magicians to be comparable to rocks, and finally completed the last procedure of the funeral for the dragon worshippers - sealing the earth.

  As the earth wall became thicker and thicker, everyone gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

  You could still vaguely hear the sound of knocking on the wall from inside.

  Kenmet turned his head suddenly, and the thieves around him, such as Hugo, trembled all over.

  Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

  "You guys! Don't be so naughty next time!" Kenmet shouted angrily, "Even if you want to be naughty, you have to wait until Mr. Jia Lan confirms that it is safe!"

  The thieves shrugged awkwardly. Although the magicians in their team were also knowledgeable and could occasionally identify dangerous magic mechanisms in advance during the adventure, most of them were like this young magician Jia Lan, and their combat ability was their strong point.

  Therefore, the exploration and reconnaissance work in the team has always been the responsibility of these thieves.

  In the face of temptation, human nature is always hard to resist, but this time there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the team.

  Among them, a magician who was only 20 years old was proficient in knowledge in many fields such as archaeology, identification, and history, and his strength was comparable to that of a platinum-level magician, which was amazing.

  How he could study various fields so thoroughly while busy practicing is really puzzling.

  Everyone could only half-jokingly guess that this young magician might be a hidden old monster who just disguised himself as a young boy.

  Undead, creatures driven by negative energy, usually lack wisdom and only blindly pursue the resentful breath of living beings.

  Earth magicians cleverly use earth walls to seal the exit of the cemetery, isolating the "vitality" on which the undead depend for survival, and gradually calming their restless emotions.

  The mercenaries and magicians of the Golden Two-Headed Dragon Mercenary Group, with tacit cooperation and rich experience, are obviously accustomed to dealing with undead creatures such as skeletons in ancient ruins.

  In Jia Lan's view, the mercenaries' methods are simple but very practical.

  Because most undead rarely leave their "territory", once they lose their target of hatred, they will wander back to their "nest" again and stay in that area.

  This may be common sense for the mages of the previous civilization, but for the mercenaries of this era, it is a valuable experience gained with countless blood and lives.

  Thanks to Kenmet's timely response, the team avoided heavy casualties, and after a short rest, they continued to advance deeper into the ruins.

  Jia Lan took advantage of this gap to identify some of the spoils in the cemetery storage box. A total of four scrolls, four bottles of potions, four rings, four small peridot statues and four dragon-shaped glass amulets were found.

  Among them, the four scrolls were confirmed by Jia Lan as rare 3rd-level spell scrolls: Earthquake (Earth), Rainstorm (Water), Skyfire (Fire), Tornado (Wind).

  When Jia Lan identified the properties of these scrolls, he couldn't help but be shocked. What on earth were those dragon worshippers thinking? They actually exposed these dangerous spell scrolls so casually without any restrictions?

  If the triggering sigils on the scrolls aged and failed, the consequences would be disastrous!

  Even in Jia Lan's time, 3rd-level spell scrolls were very rare high-level spell scrolls, which were extremely difficult to copy and very few in existence.

  Jia Lan carefully found a wooden box that was usually used to hold medical gadgets, poured out the tools inside, wrapped them with a piece of linen and stuffed them back into his pocket.

  Then he found a spare piece of clothing, tore it into strips and spread it all over the bottom of the wooden box, and finally gently put the scroll into the dimensional bag like a work of art.

  Since there was no dedicated scroll box, Jia Lan could only take this temporary measure, hoping that the triggering symbols on these scrolls could last for a while longer.

  As for the four small peridot statues, Jia Lan speculated that they might be the functional forms of the four "Dragon Power Gatekeeper, Flame Summoner, Night Shepherd, and Death Summoner", but their specific functions were still unclear.

  The four dragon-shaped glass amulets were even more mysterious. Although Jia Lan did not identify their detailed properties, their functions could be roughly inferred from the hollow structure of the amulets - these were four whistles!

  The small and exquisite dragon-shaped pendant, with the dragon's mouth biting the chain, was cross-shaped with its wings spread out and its head and tail stretched out, and it could be blown by holding the tail.

  Compared with the curious Hugo, Jia Lan seemed more cautious. He would never try these whistles easily before he figured out the purpose of them.

  After the mercenaries rested, Jia Lan could only hurriedly pack up the spoils, holding one of the whistles in his hand and studying it while on the road.

  As they went deeper and deeper into the ruins, the surrounding environment became more and more desolate.

  Obviously, this area was close to the edge of the ruins, and even unfinished buildings that the dragon worshippers had not yet completed could be seen.

  After passing through a large area of ??unfinished buildings, they finally arrived at the end of the ruins. However, this did not mean that the adventure was over!

  Because at the very end of the ruins of the Dragon Worship Temple, a large underground rift several tens of meters wide cut off their way.

  Because at the very end of the Dragon Worship Cult ruins, a large underground crack tens of meters wide blocked their way.
