Chapter 41 Chapter40- Exiled Mummy
Emma asked,
"Why keep secrets? Johnny, I\'ve noticed that ever since you emerged from that secret realm, you\'ve become increasingly mysterious..."
White Feather came to John\'s defense, saying,
"Actually, I understand. Sometimes it\'s better not to say anything. Everyone has their own secrets, after all."
John gratefully nodded at White Feather.
Just as White Feather had said, everyone has secrets.
Emma sighed a little dejectedly,
"Alright then, White Feather has her secrets, Johnny has his, and I\'m the only one without secrets. You both know everything about me."
John playfully flicked her nose and chuckled,
"Isn\'t it good not to have secrets? Having too many secrets can be burdensome. It\'s wonderful to be carefree."
After saying this, John looked at the stone gate in front of them and began to recite the Demon Language inscribed on the structure.
The language was not only hard to understand but also unbearable to human ears.
Emma even had to cover her ears with her hands.
Luckily, the passage wasn\'t long, and John finished reciting it quickly.
As his voice fell, a ripple of purple light emanated from the center of the stone gate, revealing a portal in front of them.
White Feather looked at John in astonishment, asking,
"Boss, you understand Demon Language?! I thought you were a human?"
"There are more humans who understand Demon Language than just me," John replied.
"I know," White Feather nodded,
"But the humans who understand Demon Language are respected master NPCs. I\'ve never heard of a player who can speak Demon Language."
John smiled and said,
"Because the secret realm I was in before had something to do with Demons, I taught myself some Demon Language. Let\'s go. The portal is open. Let\'s enter."
He was the first to walk into the portal.
Seeing John go in, White Feather and Emma didn\'t hesitate and quickly followed.
They arrived at an underground tomb.
"Why is it a tomb again?" Emma frowned, "Does all the good stuff in this game lie in tombs?"
"This desert used to be the territory of Demons," John explained as he walked forward.
"After The Devil Azazel was sealed by the gods and the demons were driven out by humans, many underground relics and tombs were left... so it\'s quite normal to find many tombs around here."
White Feather, sensing something unusual about this place, drew her glowing sword and asked, "Galewind, do you know whose tomb this is?"
John nodded,
"Of course I do. This is the tomb of \'Baron Tutank\', the Demon Noble. This was his domain when he was alive."
"The Baron\'s favorite pastime was eating humans alive. So there are many human sacrifices among his burial items."
Hearing this, White Feather\'s face became a little harder.
Even though she knew this was just a game and the characters and settings were just data, she couldn\'t suppress the feeling of disgust in her heart.
John continued,
"Demons are in hostile relations with all beings on this continent. In ancient times, humans, elves, dwarfs, and orcs had teamed up against the Demons."
"So, if you encounter Demons in the future, don\'t hesitate, just attack. Demons have no guilt about killing humans, and we can\'t show them any mercy."
By the time he had finished speaking, they had completely entered the tunnel of the tomb.
The path before them was pitch black.
John turned to Emma and said, "Emma, light a fire for us."
John actually had a talent that enhanced night vision in his skill set, and his perception was extremely strong.
He asked Emma to light a fire for illumination because he was worried that the two girls wouldn\'t be able to see the path ahead clearly.
"Alright," Emma snapped her fingers.
Sparks flew and the next second a bright red flame appeared at her fingertips.
Instantly, the tunnel lit up.
It was then that the two girls noticed that the stone walls on both sides of the tunnel were covered with murals and Demon text.
"What does it say?" Emma touched the inscriptions with curiosity.
John glanced at them and replied,
"Some Demon sacrificial rituals and procedures... things you probably wouldn\'t want to hear."
They continued on for about ten minutes, and then a spacious tomb chamber appeared before them.
Although it was a burial chamber, there were no coffins set up inside.
The walls of the chamber were adorned with skulls, both human and otherwise.
On top of the skulls were blue long-lasting candles.
Seeing this, White Feather and Emma furrowed their brows.
The sight was unnerving for the two girls, seeing not only human skulls, but also those of orcs, dwarfs... even elves.
"Johnny, do we really have to level up here?" Emma looked around, suppressing her inner fear and revulsion, "I don\'t even see any monsters..."
John pointed to a dark entrance in front and said,
"There will be monsters once we get out of this chamber.
Their levels are a bit high, so I\'ll lure them and tank them, then you two can finish them off."
White Feather stepped forward,
"Galewind, I\'m a Silver Knight, I naturally have resistance to Demons, let me tank."
Emma agreed,
"Yeah, Johnny, White Feather\'s defense is really high! Whenever we level up together, she\'s always the one to tank. She\'s never made a mistake!"
John shook his head,
"No, I\'ll tank. You two remember to use ranged skills and don\'t get within 500 yards of those monsters. These monsters are mummified corpses, they aren\'t very smart. As long as you don\'t get close, they\'ll only attack me."
Seeing John\'s insistence, the two women agreed.
They passed through the chamber and entered a relatively wider tunnel.
The smell in this tunnel was terrible.
Not far ahead of them, two mummified corpses were wandering around.
These corpses had greyish-white skin and looked as shriveled as skeletons.
Their faces were covered with bugs, and their eyes were completely white.
White Feather immediately opened her detection panel and saw:
[Exiled Mummy (Common)
Level: 60
Description: A cursed human that, after death, cannot rest. Wanders in the underground tomb.]
Both White Feather and Emma\'s eyes widened.
A level 60 monster!
This was the first time they had encountered monsters above level 50!
"Galewind, can we really defeat monsters of such high level?" White Feather now understood why John didn\'t want her to tank.
She was somewhat anxious, "Is it too soon for us to fight these types of monsters for leveling up?"
John turned around, with a puzzled look,
"What? These monsters? No, no, no, I didn\'t bring you here to level up with these monsters."
Hearing John say this, both girls secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But then John continued,
"These monsters are too low level. Even if you killed them all day long, you wouldn\'t reach level 50. Our real target is further in. There\'s a mummy of a demon wizard in the tunnel ahead. That guy is level 80 and an elite monster..."
"Killing it, you two can probably level up to 50."
At this point, the expression on White Feather and Emma\'s faces was quite shocked.
"A level 80 elite monster?" White Feather repeated.
John nodded.
"Can our attack... break its defense?" Emma expressed doubt.
John reassured them, "As I said, with me here, you have nothing to worry about."
"Let\'s go, let\'s start leveling up officially!"
Just as he finished speaking, John charged ahead, regardless of whether White Feather and Emma were ready, he began to pull the monsters.
At least a dozen Exiled Mummies were wandering in the tunnel, and John drew them all together at once.
Their venomous claws couldn\'t penetrate John\'s defense, only making a clanging sound as if striking metal.
John dealt with them carefully - not because he was afraid of dying, but because he was worried that if he accidentally activated his reflective damage skill, these monsters would instantly be killed by him.
Otherwise, White Feather and Emma would have nothing left to gain.
