Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Deeper Nest
Translator: 549690339
The underground tomb was supported by a large number of circular pillars.
The number of corpses piled up beneath it was far more than Han Dong had imagined, far exceeding that of the black hair cultivation chamber also below the stone well.
The stone walls of the tomb were designed in a precise, tiered bookshelf structure, with an overwhelming number of skull heads placed on them.
This kind of “skull wall surface” was a hallmark of the underground tomb, infinitely extending with a number of skulls that Han Dong couldn’t explain.
“Even if one encourages fertility as much as possible.
No matter how many tourists visiting the mansion are targeted.
It would not be possible to generate this many skulls, right?
If we can’t figure out where such a large number of corpses came from, later exploration of the mansion might lead us into unexpected dangers … Let’s try to find the answer from tonight’s night watchwork.
Perhaps the origins of these numerous corpses are directly related to this cemetery.”
Needless to say, the level of pollution inside the tomb.
Other than the white fog spread out across the ground, the skull heads embedded in the walls would occasionally have a dark green tentacle with suction cups crawl out of the eye sockets.
Such a scene could cause visual pollution damage.
Abe immediately put on a unique white fur coat.
The night watchman Jon deliberately turned to look at him.
This white fur coat looked rather ordinary.
In reality, its material was the skin of a certain [Demon], a high-quality material obtained after the church had repeatedly purified it.
Subsequently, with the combination of a high-level tailor and stitcher from the Holy City, a fur coat of this kind was produced, which could resist the invasion of pollution on a great extent and also stimulate Abe’s beastly nature.
No need to say, the value is self-evident.
Obviously, it was given by Captain Kaimon.
But what shocked Jon most was another person … the young crow boy who inspired the task.
Whether entering the cemetery or delving into the tomb.
This young man simply wore a crow mask, unaffected throughout the whole process.
At this moment, a voice came from beneath the crow mask, asking: “Knight Jon, isn’t the underground tomb one important part of the vast underground system of the mansion?”
“You know about ‘the underground system’?”
Jon was somewhat surprised, this was the key to this training camp.
You have to conduct deep exploration in order to speculate that there is an underground system built below the mansion by the Great Lord Stuart with a large amount of labor and resources.
It is also an essential place for ‘brewing bad consequences’.
Han Dong nodded and replied, “Yes … the basic task we are performing today involves the underground area.
And, we have directly confronted a ‘family executive’, so we can speculate that the entire mansion corresponds to a complicated and extensive underground system.”
“Indeed … but I can’t talk much about the specific information, you need to explore it yourself.”
“Okay.”
Continue to go deep.
The structure of the underground tomb was incredibly complex, almost like a labyrinth, and inside were multiple intersections leading to different areas.
But the overall structure was the same, wherever one went, they could not avoid the walls filled with skulls … However, Han Dong’s keen eye for details led him to notice an anomaly.
It was the ‘slope issue’.
From the moment they entered the underground tomb, they had all been descending.
The tomb floor was at a slope of about 3°~5°.
Another strange thing was that Han Dong did not find any signs of ghoul activities in the underground tomb.
“Where is the night watchwork conducted?” Han Dong asked a question.
“A deeper place … Ten hours ago, a small team went deep into the tomb to carry out the task of [Finding Skull]. Unexpectedly, they discovered a hidden passage to a deeper area in the depths of the tomb.
They thought the skull they were looking for in the task would be in the deeper area …
During their rash deep penetration, they triggered some ‘killing point’ which caused a large amount of pollution to overflow.”
“It’s downstairs?”
Under the guidance of Knight Jon, they came to a closed stone chamber in the cemetery.
When a particular skull was moved.
Rumble!
A square coffin positioned in the center opened on its own, revealing a staircase covered with fungus and an incessant stench wafting out.
“From now on, we will officially enter the night watchworking phase. Let me lay out some basic requirements for you.
Currently, there are more than one ‘killing points’ where high concentrations of pollution have been detected. There are already eight watchmen searching below to see if there are any missed points.
We will also join them.
During this time, we may disturb a large number of ghouls nesting inside, and even possibly encounter some high-level mutants and leaders.
The requirements for ‘night watchwork’ are:
Assist in killing 30 ghouls, and one leader or mutant ghoul.
Come up with effective suggestions for the search for ‘killing points’ where pollution is leaking.
Killing ghouls will only count if you inflict fatal wounds on them … Any ghouls I directly kill will not count towards your number of foes killed.”
How difficult it is, goes without saying.
By dividing them according to strength, it is almost impossible for freshmen to deal with an adult ghoul.
Just like when Han Dong first met Cass, it took a lot of effort to slay an adult ghoul.
Although he is here to assist Knight Jon.
But ghouls are mainly a ‘quantity’ based group. Once surrounded, Jon will not be able to take care of the safety of the two.
This is why, when Jon found out that the task was inspired by Abe, he seemed so troubled.
Deeply infiltrating this large-scale Ghoul Nest, plus the unusually large amount of pollution leakage, was a bit careless and would risk loss of life.
“Do any of you have any questions?”
“No.”
“If there are no problems, follow me down … remember! Make sure to keep up with me, once you get separated from me due to some irresistible factors, you will die down there.
Put away your kerosene lamp, activate your Night Vision Ability or put on your ‘Night Vision Goggles’, ghouls are very sensitive to fire.”
With that said, Knight Jon also demonstrated some of his own skills.
Leopard.
As a member of the Behemoth Knight Group, Jon, who primarily practiced [Control], had some connection with ‘leopards’ …
Some leopard patterns and sharp claws appeared, a wave of invisible killing intent was released.
“I would like to remind you, this Ghoul Nest below, according to our Knight Regiment’s investigation, due to more than 200 years of development and the specialty of the cemetery, has shown signs of developing into a ‘Ghoul Kingdom’.”
“Ghoul Kingdom?” Abe was shocked, a drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead
At this moment, Han Dong suggested: “Abe, make sure you follow Knight Jon properly, I’ll cover the rear. Whether it’s the plague or pollution, I can adapt.”
“Alright.”
As Han Dong stayed at the end of the team.
Stepping down the plague-covered stairs was the moment to deeply infiltrate this nest.
Buzz!
Because of the ‘resonance’, Han Dong’s right arm trembled a bit.
