“No reaction?” Wang Ye looked at it carefully.
....That’s right, it was the demon skeleton ghost, though it looked like an enhanced version.
“That tomb…” Wang Ye frowned slightly.
From a distance, he could vaguely see some blurry words carved on it. He wondered what was written.
“Forget it, Xiao Jiu, just attack it from a distance! It’s good that there’s no reaction!”
Xiao Jiu was also quite angry from being ignored. It flapped its wings and sent out a gust of wind.
The power of the great success realm Wind was quite impressive.
It was like a hurricane with turbulent currents and shapeless wind blades. Almost instantly, it surrounded the demon skeleton ghost.
The strong wind whistled, and the wind blades were like frost!
Countless wounds immediately appeared on the demon skeleton ghost that was leaning on the tombstone.
However, what was even stranger was that it did not move at all, as if it had no consciousness and was just there being beaten.
“Strange,” Wang Ye could not help but shake his head.
In front of Xiao Jiu whose spiritual energy value had reached 1200 and the great success realm Wing, a direct long-range attack should be able to kill even a strengthened version of the demon skeleton ghost
To prevent any accidents, Wang Ye did not let Xiao Jiu attack at close range.
After all, the demon skeleton ghost here should be different from the demon skeleton ghost that Commander Lin had brought back in the sense that it was letting out a strange smell.
A moment later, the demon skeleton ghost finally fell.
From the beginning to the end, it didn’t attack, and it didn’t even leave the tombstone.
A faint black mist rose from its body, and the fierce beasts that were clinging to its lower body like moths turned into a pile of blood foam as well, leaving only a weathered skeleton.
It was said that such a set of skeletons had a lot of research value. It could also be used as the basic material for various tools, and could even be used in medicine.
In any case, it had a lot of uses.
“Let me have a look at this tomb…” Wang Ye walked over, pushed the weeds away, and swept away the dirt and dust on the tombstone.
On the simple and crude stone, only a few words were written.
[Even if I die, my blade will not retreat!]
[Even if I become a malicious ghost, I will guard this place. I must not let the devil sword leave this place!]
[Hui’e Investigation Corps, investigator, Li He.]
“…” Wang Ye.
After a moment of silence, Wang Ye sighed, “So it was a deceased senior.”
Wang Ye had an impression of the Hui’e Investigation Corps.
The parents of the original owner of the body were from the same Investigation Corps.
Wang Ye didn’t know much else other than the fact that the Corps had already become history.
“Become a ghost… It can’t be that the demon skeleton ghost was formed by the senior?” Wang Ye was slightly stunned.
For real?
He felt that something was amiss and was silent for a long time.
At this moment, the tombstone suddenly trembled.
“?” Wang Ye.
F*ck!
Wang Ye shivered and quickly stepped back, muttering repeatedly, “I didn’t mean to offend you, senior, please go in peace.”
A moment later, the tombstone sank into the ground and stopped moving.
Only then did Wang Ye heave a sigh of relief and bow repeatedly.
“I wonder how many investigators’ bones have been buried in this secret realm,” Wang Ye put away the skeleton, his mood feeling a little complicated.
“The devil sword… Rumor has it that a vicious sword-shaped fierce beast is sealed in the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb. But that should have been many years ago, right? It should have died a long time ago,” Wang Ye shook his head and continued to move forward with Xiao Jiu.
This small episode made Wang Ye feel a little emotional.
While collecting materials, it didn’t take long before they finally saw a purple graveyard.
To be more precise, the soil was a light purple color.
“The glowing bone should be around here?”
There were a few level 2 fierce beasts wandering around. No wonder Xiao Jiu had had a hard time fighting in the simulation.
“The materials produced in this place seem to be pretty good. It feels like a special area. Could there be some elite monsters or small bosses hidden here?”
Although they hadn’t encountered any in the simulation, it didn’t mean that there weren’t any around.
After all, the time in reality and in the simulation was different.
It had taken them several days for them to find this place in the simulation.
But now, it had only been a few hours.
First, he had Xiao Jiu kill the few level two fierce beasts one by one, and then he began to dig the soil.
In less than half an hour, Wang Ye had dug up the glowing bone.
“Um… It doesn’t seem to have much value other than the fact that it’s glowing?”
The bone was pale red in color, and its spiritual energy waves were not strong. It looked like a large foot bone. The upper part of the bone was bumpy while the lower part had spider-web-like cracks, which was very strange.
Holding it in his hand, it looked more like a machete.
It was not heavy, either. It weighed about a hundred catty. With Wang Ye’s physical fitness that he had trained for several months, it was easy for him to lift the bone as long as he did not do it in the simulation.
“Chirp, chirp!” Xiao Jiu cried out.
“Ahem… Although it doesn’t look like a treasure, it’s still not bad!” Wang Ye coughed.
The little guy had a temper in the simulation, so it was probably better to praise it.
Xiao Jiu nodded in satisfaction.
“It looks quite old… Let’s go and find the next treasure. It’s already been half a day.”
After half a day, Wang Ye’s backpack was already full of materials.
Other than the materials needed for the assessment, there were many others.
For example, the remains of the fierce beasts that Xiao Jiu had killed and so on had been kept as proof of the assessment.
“The God Burial Mausoleum is a very strange place. If I stay here for too long, I might get trapped here. After I find the other treasure, we have to hurry to the second stage.”
The second treasure was on a tombstone that was more than ten meters tall.
It was not difficult but quite troublesome to find because there were many piled-up stones of the same height around.
After about four hours when the outside should be dark, Wang Ye finally found the gemstone that was described as an eyeball in the simulation on a tombstone.
The crimson eyeball was glowing and was extremely extraordinary.
“Why does this eyeball feel a little strange…” Wang Ye frowned slightly.
It felt like a piece of jade, but Wang Ye couldn’t recognize what grade it was.
It seemed to be of a very high grade.
He couldn’t use his cell phone in the secret realm, so he couldn’t find any information about it.
“Never mind, let’s just take it first.”
Both the glowing giant bone and the eyeball were some special items.
Since they had been left in this place for so many years without anyone finding them, they must be extraordinary.
“By the way, haven’t I collected too many materials?” Wang Ye patted his backpack which was filled to the brim.
Bang bang!
The thick sound satisfied Wang Ye.
“No, it’s not enough. My spatial sphere is so spacious… No matter what, I have to fill it up, right? What’s a bag of materials? The bag’s just so small,” Wang Ye pondered, “The materials in the bag can be sold to Mingguang Enterprise. The rest of the materials in the spatial sphere can be sold online in the future. After all, medium secret realms are not often opened. According to the principle of secret realms, the materials in the depths are definitely better than the materials outside. I have to leave some space… Let’s go and take a look at the next stage.”
“Speaking of which, we haven’t met a decent small boss in the God Burial Mausoleum. It feels a little regretful,” As he walked deeper into the God Burial Mausoleum, Wang Ye thought to himself.
After walking for a short while, the ground suddenly trembled, as if some terrifying fierce beast was about to drill out from within!
“Rumble!”
With that, the ground suddenly split open, and a huge centipede-like fierce beast that was five to six meters long crawled out from the ground and bared its ferocious fangs.
“No way!? How can this be considered a small boss? It has the spiritual energy fluctuation of a five-star level-two beast… this should be a seven-section demonic centipede. Originally the earth-type Supreme class seven-star small centipede that has high HP and defense, and can even drill holes. It does counter sky-type pets a bit… But…”
It didn’t feel much different from the few level 2 fierce beasts that they had encountered in the purple graveyard.
“Forget it, Xiao Jiu, finish this battle quickly,” Wang Ye waved his hand.
Xiao Jiu’s eyes immediately revealed a fierce light as it flew over like a beam of green light. It immediately used Sky-dance, then attacked with the long-range Wind. After that, it approached and used the great success realm Feather Cut.
Its overlapping wings were like two crossed sharp blades that spun in the hurricane. In an instant, the fierce beast was cut into seven pieces.
“It’s so weak it’s not worth fighting at all,” Wang Ye shook his head, feeling a little lonely from being invincible.
