Chapter 328: The Living Dead Palace (2)
Chapter 328: The Living Dead Palace (2)
With their weapons ready and nuclear flashlights on, everyone bent over and passed through the hole one by one to enter the tomb palace.
As soon as I stood still, a fishy and rotten smell even stronger than outside hit me in the face.
The smell was damp and sultry, like a corpse that had been pickled for years, and it even fermented into a creepy aroma of wine. It would be a sin to inhale it any longer.
The heavy bricks and stones blocked out all noise. As everyone walked in the dark garden, it was so quiet that the only sound they could hear was the friction of their soles against the dry grass.
Zhong Liang walked in front and led the way, lowering his voice and saying:
"Although I said that the Tyrannosaurus is powerful, it is only in this game. It would be the same in other games. The difficulty lies in that her image is too old, and it is easy to be careless and lose the initiative."
Huo Hu nodded: "Besides, the image of the old lady can easily make people soft-hearted."
"That's right, that's right. Our sister Zhong has always respected the elderly and loved the young. How could she lose to an old..."
Jiang Yuan stopped talking halfway, his amber eyes fixed, and he lowered his voice and said to everyone:
"Look to the right, at five o'clock!"
Zhong Liang was alert instantly, his pupils shrank suddenly, he raised the Gatling machine gun and shouted:
“She’s here!!!”
Knock knock knock----!!
Knock knock knock knock knock knock-----!!!
Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock-------!!!!!!
Bullets flew everywhere and flames splashed.
The bullet rubbed against the gun barrel, and a fierce fire broke out in the darkness, illuminating a small half of the tomb and dazzling everyone.
With the support of powerful armed forces, no matter who the monsters or the Tyrannosaurus Queen Mother were, they were all vulnerable and were beaten without the ability to fight back, and could not even utter a scream.
It was not until General Zhong emptied the magazine and the gun barrel overheated and stopped working, and the surroundings returned to calm again, that everyone was able to see the enemy's true face.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Awesome."
Old Master Yu snorted and praised: "I defeated a tank."
The place where Zhong Liang concentrated his firepower was empty, except for a huge copper vat that had been beaten into a sieve. When a few people looked over, it broke with a clang, and dirty water leaked out all over the ground.
Crash-----~
It was like a strong accusation against the mighty general.
Zhong Liang: “…”
He gritted his teeth and looked at Jiang Yuan. The villain immediately raised his hands and said innocently:
"I swear to God, I just wanted to remind you to look at this beautiful gilded bronze vat. Who knew Sister Zhong would be so excited when she saw the vat?"
Zhong Liang was furious: "You you did it on purpose!!!"
Huo Hu covered half of his face and tried to comfort her: "It's okay, it's normal to be a little cautious in the game...Pfft!"
His guilty conscience exposed, Zhongliang was too lazy to make excuses anymore.
"Alright, alright! I was beaten by the old Tyrannosaurus woman, alright!"
After he made this irritable admission, he felt relieved and simply continued telling the story.
"I went to inspect the troops that day and saw several company commanders with bruised faces and noses, laughing at each other.
After asking, I found out that they were all beaten up by an old lady from the new ghost sect, and she was bragging about who was beaten less.
So fucking embarrassing!
I gave them a lecture, but these old soldiers still laughed and said that I would get beaten if I went there too.
This is even more disrespectful. How can I stand this?
So in order to let them broaden their horizons, I took the Tyrant Sword and led them into this game!"
Everyone nodded: "And?"
Zhong Liang choked up and said, "... and then he encountered the opening kill of the Tyrannosaurus Queen Mother. He was already in the sky before his feet even touched the ground."
"I really underestimated the enemy that time, and the Tyrannosaurus was really powerful. Even at his age, he could actually fly over from a distance like a spinning top, and his close combat was extremely powerful.
"Fortunately, support arrived in time, and a group of people quickly subdued her."
This is the benefit of sending Guimen into the army.
There is strength in numbers. With ready-made strategies and human wave tactics, all creatures in the gate can be exploited with the highest efficiency.
Zhongliang continued, “It’s just that this old lady is very stubborn. Even if she is injured like a squirrel fish and cut into two pieces, she still wants to crawl and stab people with her broken limbs.
What I can't forget the most is the look in her eyes as she lay on the ground and stared at me before she died."
When Zhong Liang reached this point, his speech slowed down and his expression became empty, as if he was recalling that unforgettable moment deep in his mind.
“That look of stubbornness and unwillingness to give up was so strange… It made me curious about game bosses for the first time.
I later investigated and learned from an old palace maid that this crazy old woman was actually a heroine.
At the same time, we also figured out that she had a grudge against the emperor, and since it was not necessary to fight the main storyline, we told the subordinates not to come here anymore."
Jiang Yuan asked: "If we don't pass this level, won't the benefits be much less?"
"It doesn't matter if there are fewer. There are so many Guimen, and losing one of them won't be much loss."
Zhong Liang shrugged indifferently: "It's better than a group of grown men bullying an old widow."
As they were talking, everyone came to the right side of Ci Ling Palace.
The flashlight shone on the ground, illuminating piles of dead bones, piled on the ground, like piles of giant mushrooms.
There were scratches, blood, debris, and broken weapons everywhere left by the battle.
Some of the corpses were bloody and had been gnawed away to the point where only skeletons were left, and it was obvious that they had died not long ago.
According to Zhong Liang, these should be the meals of the Crazy Empress Dowager.
Some were her defeated generals, and some were loyal ministers thrown in by the emperor.
Jiang Yuan shone the flashlight on a fresh corpse and asked curiously: "Sister Zhong, are you sure there is only the Empress Dowager here?"
Zhong Liang: "Of course. The Tyrannosaurus is crazy and has no reason. It only sees enemies and food and kills anyone it sees."
To prevent everyone from being frightened, Jiang Yuan thoughtfully reminded: "She is indeed different this time. We may have a small surprise later."
Everyone: "...What surprise?"
Jiang Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "What kind of surprise is it if I tell you about it?"
Everyone: It’s ominous, very fucking ominous!
But seeing how relaxed Jiang Yuan looks, it shouldn't be a big problem... right?
Following the increasing number of corpses, the four-man team moved forward and soon arrived at the main entrance of the main hall.
The carved ebony door, rotten by termites, was half-open, and the mossy ground was covered with bloody handprints, extending all the way into the darkness.
Everyone checked their weapons again, and when they were ready, Jiang Yuan carefully pushed open the door.
Slightly------
squeak------
The old huge door made a dull noise.
Everyone held their breath and waited for more than a minute, but the expected door-opening kill did not come.
In the darkness, the air flowed slowly, and a dense and chaotic breathing sound could be heard. Compared to the outside, there was an additional stench of fermented bean curd like rotten cheese here, which clearly indicated that there was a big problem.
After confirming that there was no attack, everyone prepared to enter.
But it would be inconvenient to use a flashlight after entering, so Huo Hu took out a lighting gun and shot a moonlight bullet into the palace.
The moonlight bomb flew silently to high altitudes and gradually lit up, revealing any monsters hiding in the darkness.
As the cold light came on, the three people except Jiang Yuan widened their eyes and were indeed shocked by this surprise.
They finally knew where that stinking baby smell from the dark delivery room came from.
In the secluded main hall, the rosewood weapon rack was cracked, the dragon and phoenix candlesticks were broken, and the luxurious utensils were scattered all over the floor in a twisted state.
The carpet, covered with dried blood, was torn to pieces, with one deformed monster after another wearing a golden bellyband lying on it.
It is exactly the kind of royal heir that Jiang Ranqi is.
They looked like they had eaten their fill, and were curled up hugging their fat bellies, lost in a sweet dream, breathing softly.
At a glance, these little monsters were crawling from the entrance to the depths of the palace, densely packed together, there were at least three or four hundred of them.
This might be fine in other games, but for them now, it is extremely spectacular.
Jiang Yuan mouthed: Are you surprised?
Everyone: What a surprise! Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier!!!
Jiang Yuan noticed it when he looked at the corpse just now.
The skeletons were covered with sharp teeth marks. Judging from their size, they looked more like children with shark teeth than adults, such as Jiang Ran's mount, the Prince.
The condition of this corpse was consistent with the corpse of the concubine they saw in Luohua Palace in the afternoon, which further confirmed Jiang Yuan's speculation.
There must be a lot of royal heirs hidden here.
Fortunately, although they are dangerous, they are all sleeping, and there are more dangerous things deep in the palace.
On the high steps that the monster royal heirs were heading towards, sat a lonely old widow with gray hair. Under the cold light, she looked decadent.
The old woman was tall and thin, with a three-layer golden phoenix crown on her head and worn court robes that had faded and frayed threads. She was crawling barefoot on the cold and hard steps, motionless, her body slightly rising and falling, as if she was sleeping soundly.
Her face was old and tired, her white hair was disheveled, and her hands and feet were shackled with cold iron chains, which had long since broken and were scattered around.
It was obvious that she was the owner of Ci Ling Palace, the legendary and dreaded Tyrannosaurus Queen Mother.
Jiang Yuan frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.
He did not sense any hostility or murderous intent from this BOSS. Even the aura was very faint, not as threatening as Zhong Liang described.
Shen Zi stood outside the door and asked with body language: Sister Zhong, are you sure she will beat us?
Huo Hu also gestured: She looks like an ordinary old lady.
Zhong Liang thought about it and gestured uncertainly: Maybe it was an upgrade of some kind of method of suppressing before praising? Don't talk about it, just be careful!
Jiang Yuan: okk.
"...I'm here."
Suddenly, the old man on the stairs spoke.
The old voice echoed in the hall, and everyone was once again on high alert, ready for battle!
But unexpectedly, the empress dowager with a dazed look suddenly giggled kindly and innocently after seeing the people at the door.
"Father, mother, are you here to take Ziwaer home?"
The old lady was caught off guard and asked everyone in a naive and surprised tone.
