Just like the terracotta warriors and horses in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, these stone figures are both male and female. However, they are different from any race that Ye Ling has seen so far. Their faces are very pleasing to the eye. The men are handsome and the women are gorgeous, but they all have a pair of
The blood-red eyes glowed strangely.
Because the eyes of those statues are inlaid with crystal nuclei that can emit red light, they seem to have come alive at first glance, staring coldly at Ye Ling and other intruders. Although they knew they were stone statues, they were still there.
Under the ground, which is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop, there is still something eerie about it.
From ancient times to the present, these crystal nuclei have been able to emit light. Just by looking at them, you can conclude that they are very valuable.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
Alijie glanced at the relief murals on the stone chamber, and her expression changed: "This is the Tomb of the Vampire!"
Vampires are an evil race in the star realm. Their appearance is almost the same as that of humans. Only they are more handsome, just like elves. Ugly individuals among vampires are extremely rare. You can pick any one at random.
There are handsome men and beautiful women, and vampires are very particular about their style. Every one of them looks like a gentleman or a lady. In terms of appearance and temperament, this race is very pleasing to the eye.
However, it is not without reason that vampires are designated as an evil race. They are very scary because, as the name suggests, vampires like to suck blood and must suck blood to survive. Blood is also an important source of power for them, especially the blood of the strong.
Increasing the power of vampires is just like the Yin and Yang tribe that can absorb the essence of other people through combination. This method of obtaining power is naturally illegal in the eyes of the justice camp.
Vampires who like beauty pursue to decorate their tombs beautifully even after death. Coupled with those vampire reliefs, this stone chamber is undoubtedly the tomb of a vampire.
"To be exact, it's the tomb of the Vampire King!" The Fox Demon Queen corrected Alijie's mistake during her spiritual communication with Ye Ling: "Ordinary vampires cannot have such a luxurious tomb!"
If it were placed in another place, a tomb of this size would actually not be too high-level for a vampire. However, don't forget, it was dug out of the ground three thousand meters as solid as pig iron.
With so many exquisite and complex reliefs, a lot of power is needed.
If the observer is a skilled artist, he will find that those reliefs are actually made by the same person. Because even if the reliefs of the same style and pattern are crafted by different craftsmen, there may still be very subtle differences in style.
, of course this difference cannot be discovered by ordinary people.
However, Julie is a top artist, and she realizes this.
All the reliefs, as well as everything in this stone chamber, are all integrated. Even with Julie's eyes, there is still nothing to find fault with, which shows that the craftsman not only has very powerful power, but also has very high art.
level.
An artistic level comparable to that of the Fox Demon Queen is not something ordinary vampires can possess. It usually only belongs to nobles.
Moreover, he is not an ordinary noble.
Many details of these stone figures buried with them, such as their clothing, etc., can reflect that some of them were nobles with extremely respected status. The hierarchy of vampires is very strict. After their death, the characters depicted in the mural reliefs,
Representing guardians, these guardians must definitely be lower than their own level, otherwise, this will be regarded as an act of disobedience, and they will be cursed, and their bodies and souls will never rest in peace.
And in the mural of this vampire's tomb, there is the audacity to engrave a great nobleman whose status is extremely high, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. This shows that the owner of the tomb has a status that is superior to any vampire. Such a person, in
There is only one in every era, and that is the Vampire King!
Ye Ling had also heard rumors about vampires and couldn't help but be shocked.
Mommy, what I want to dig up is the corpse of the Vampire King!
Jessica was also surprised: "Vampire's Tomb, I heard that vampires have premonitions before they die. They will return to their hometown in advance as a resting place. What's more, this vampire is obviously a nobleman and has a strong sense of tradition.
I attach great importance to it, and the ancient wilderness is not the hometown of vampires!"
"It's very simple!" Alijie said without thinking: "For some reasons, such as being seriously injured that cannot be cured, this vampire noble could not return to his hometown, so he opened up this place. However, there is no other
With the help of vampires, he opened this tomb alone, and even when he was seriously injured. The strength of the owner of the tomb during his lifetime is really incredible.
It's quite scary, and it's probably not an ordinary noble! Lord, your original intention of digging this tomb is correct. The noble built his own tomb, and the treasures on his body must not have been taken away by others. However, the vampire's treasures have many functions.
It’s also related to the vampire’s ability. Unless you find a vampire helper, you probably won’t be able to use it!”
Ye Ling chuckled and said: "Haha, even if I don't use it, I can sell it on the black market, or exchange it for something of equal value that is useful to me!"
Alijie was startled and said: "Well, that's right, I didn't expect it!"
Ye Ling said in his heart, for me, the best thing is not the treasure on the vampire, but its corpse. Of course, he did not tell the two women what he was thinking, but said: "Come on, let's
We are looking for treasure in this tomb!"
After arriving in the tomb, the evil aura became even stronger. Following the aura, everyone quickly saw its source.
On the stone bed in the center of the tomb, there was a person lying quietly, but this person was not a stone statue, but a real person!
His skin is not the monotonous gray in the stone chamber, but fair, and he has long red hair. These are characteristics that the stone statues do not have.
However, he is already dead.
This is an unusually tall vampire, reaching over two meters tall. He looks almost the same as a human being. He is just extremely handsome, with snow-white skin. He is wearing a black and gold-trimmed tuxedo. He is facing up, with his hands on his chest, calm.
And peacefully, as if he had just fallen asleep. If he hadn't been breathing, you would even doubt that he was still alive.
Even if this vampire died, he died in a dignified manner, without any fear or ferocity in the face of death. His body also revealed the aristocratic temperament.
What is strange is that there are no antiseptic measures such as freezing here, but this vampire corpse has gone through thousands of years without any signs of decay, and even exudes a strong evil aura. Although the temperature of this stone chamber is not low,
Ye Ling and the three of them all felt a little chilly.
Next to the vampire, there is a line of large characters engraved in blood, but they are ancient characters.
Alijie and Lucy both have the common memory of the Dark Goddess and rich knowledge. She also recognized this ancient text. She took a look at it and read it out: "Although I, the Eternal Ghost King, am dead, my will and my body
, will never perish!"
"Ghost King!" Jessica took a breath: "This guy was actually a vampire king during his lifetime! The necromancer also called himself the Eternal Lord, so he should have something to do with him."
"Eternal Ghost King, Eternal Ghost King..." Alijie murmured to herself, seeming to feel a little familiar.
Inheritance cannot hand over all the memories of the goddess to the next generation intact. Some things will exist vaguely and require careful thinking and searching before they can be remembered.
Suddenly remembering something, Alijie blurted out: "Eternal Ghost King, I have heard of this vampire. It is a ghost king from ancient times, named Nicholas. It has been recorded in the literature. It is said that Nicholas is a rare variant of a vampire, with
He has a very strong regeneration ability. Some powerful opponents once beat him to the point where no head was left, and he was able to recover as before. With this ability, although he was not the most powerful vampire back then, he was the most powerful vampire he defeated.
He won one competitor after another and finally became the Vampire King!"
Jessica said with some interest: "Then why was he seriously injured and unable to recover and died here?"
Alijie pondered for a moment: "He must have suffered soul-level trauma. Even if his body's regeneration ability is incredible and his soul has been fatally injured, he still won't be able to survive. However, this body is too strong.
, it seems to be able to exist without relying on the soul, just like a plant, so even after death, it can still not reproduce and emit evil spirits.
Jessica clicked her tongue and exclaimed: "It's so amazing. Even the highest-level holy warriors of our God Clan have no such rebirth..."
Before he finished speaking, the eyes of the corpse of the Vampire King suddenly opened. Its blood-colored pupils were like rubies, extremely beautiful, but strangely beautiful. It stared straight at the three people, its gaze was extremely sharp, like a blade, and seemed to be able to
Like penetrating people.
Compared to the walking dead enslaved by the necromancer, it is a completely different feeling.
It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and the vampire king's eyes make people feel as if he still has a soul and thoughts.
The three of them, Ye Ling, were frightened by this strange scene. They jumped away almost at the same time, and their fighting spirit was instantly raised to the limit to prevent sudden changes.
But after waiting for a while, there was still no movement. The three of them boldly approached again and found that the ghost king's open eyes gradually closed again.
"It's just... a conditioned reflex!" Alijie breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "His soul has been destroyed, but his body's fighting instinct is still there. He sensed our breath and woke up from his deep sleep.
Well, how should I describe it? It might be more appropriate to say that he is a living dead."
Although Jessica was not someone who was afraid of death, the corpse in front of her was after all an ancient corpse with a history of more than a thousand years and a vampire king. She always felt a little fussy in her heart. She patted her chest and muttered: "It's really scary.
I said, he probably won’t turn into a zombie. My dear lord, don’t expect me to pick out anything on him. I’ll ask you to find it. I don’t know if he will grab it reflexively when he encounters him.
If you stop me, I will have nightmares!"
"Jessica, you're scared too. Forget it, let me do it!" Ye Ling was embarrassed to let the two ladies do it, so he plucked up the courage to reach out to the corpse and search for everything.
There was no conditioned reflex to grab hold of horror.
After everything was settled, Ye Ling took off all the crystal nuclei embedded in the statue's head that served as eyes. The stone room suddenly became dark, and the sense of mystery became even stronger. Jessica urged: "We'd better hurry up.
Let’s go, I don’t want to stay here too long!”
"Okay, wait a minute!" Ye Ling wiped his palm on the stone bed, and the vampire king's body disappeared.
Jessica knew that he had put the body into the storage space, and said in surprise: "What do you want with this horrible body?"
"Research!" Ye Ling touched his nose and said, "I think the regeneration ability of this eternal lord is really amazing. There must be some secret in it. If I can figure it out, it might be of great benefit to me!"
Jessica sneered: "Come on, if it's as Alizee said, this immortal ghost king is a rare individual that vampires only encounter in a thousand years. This involves issues of racial bloodline and mutation. Unless you are a god, otherwise it is not possible.
It’s possible to research anything.”
Ye Lingqian laughed: "It doesn't matter, he looks scary anyway, but in fact it's nothing."
Jessica was about to say something when the ground suddenly shook, and cracks appeared on the rock as hard as iron.
Alijie's face changed and she said: "There seems to be some unknown secret between this corpse and the stone chamber. Take it away. The stone chamber will collapse soon. We'd better leave as soon as possible!"
The vibrations became more and more intense, and some stone fragments began to fall. The three people quickly activated their light body skills to the limit, and flew out of the cave along the original path. Looking over the mine, they found that the entire mountain peak was constantly moving.
The ground shook, as if a major earthquake had occurred. After a while, a huge sound was heard. The mountain collapsed, completely filling the stone chamber. If they had walked slower, the three of them might have been buried in it.
The huge noise quickly alerted the people behind the mine. Several black spots came closer and closer from far away. Ye Ling could guess without thinking that they should be the Four Wizards and Hua Xin.
At this time, it’s better not to meet!
Thinking of this, Ye Ling flew in another direction and soon disappeared into the rainy night.
