Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 358 Simple Difficulty

After Rhodes remade the two torches, the two walked towards an open stone door on the other side of the hall.

After the two passed through the stone gate, the stone gate behind them also closed with a bang.

In fact, looking back now, as long as I ran fast enough, I didn't need to fight those living corpses just now.

All you need to do is run through the tens of meters of stairs before the living corpses fully wake up, then pass through the hall full of living corpses, and run to the back of this door.

But before entering this door, who knew that this hall could be passed through in this way, the living corpses were packed so densely that no one wanted to pass through it at all.

"Don't use magic here. I can feel that this passage is full of traps. Once the traps are triggered, we won't be able to escape." Natalya turned her head and reminded.

Rhodes nodded, "Then it's up to you now."

If he can use magic, he can use the mage ball to detect the mechanism with mental power. If he can't use magic, it's better to stand aside and don't make trouble for Natalya.

The passage in front of him was pitch black, the floor of the passage was neatly covered with gray-black floor tiles, and strange murals were carved on the walls on both sides.

Rhodes felt that there must be a large part of the trigger switch hidden under the floor tiles in front of him. If he accidentally stepped on a floor tile with a mechanism, it would depend on the craftsman who designed the tomb.

The most dangerous situation for him is that the tunnel collapsed and buried them deep in the ground. Other mechanisms, such as destruction magic, crossbow hidden weapons, etc., Rhodes felt that he should be able to withstand them.

"Don't be in a daze. You have to step on whichever stone brick I step on later. After I stand on it, you have to stand on it within two seconds." Natalya said suddenly.

"Can't I step on the stone bricks you stepped on?" Rhodes asked.

"No, as long as you step on it, you can't be stepped on a second time, which is likely to trigger the switch." Natalya said.

"This stone brick is a bit small, won't it be crowded if two people stand together?" Rhodes asked again.

"Don't worry, you have to trust me, you think I want to squeeze together with you?" Natalya smiled.

"Do you believe you are thin?" Before Rhodes finished speaking, Natalya stepped on the stone bricks in the first row.

Rhodes followed immediately, and before he could stand still, Natalya jumped onto another stone brick.

This is a bit different from the plot Rhode imagined. He thought that Natalya would have to take a step and study for a long time before continuing to move forward. He didn't expect that the speed of progress was no slower than the speed of aunt rushing to the bus.

The nearly 15-meter-long passage, the two ran to the end in less than [-] seconds.

"How do you know where you can go and where you can't?" Rhodes asked standing in front of the door at the end of the passage.

"There are hints on the murals, didn't you see it?" Natalya asked with a strange face, as if she had heard a very strange thing.

Rhodes felt that she must have done it on purpose, and wanted to take the opportunity to mock him.

"It's fine as long as you can see it. Which big shot have you met who needs to do everything by himself?" Rhodes replied lightly.

"Hmph!" Natalya continued walking forward without saying a word.

This tomb is too huge, and it is hard for Rhodes to imagine that it could be built in such an era of low productivity, and he doesn't know how much manpower and material resources were used to build this tomb at that time.

After leaving the passageway full of organs, the two walked into a hall again.

As before, when the two of them passed through the stone gate, the stone gate closed automatically.

"It seems that we have reached the end." Natalya said standing by the door and looking at the high platform ahead.

Not far in front of the two of them was a five-meter-high platform, under which stood more than a dozen sarcophagi neatly.

A black sarcophagus was placed on the high platform, and behind the sarcophagus was a metal throne.

The body of the tomb owner should be placed in the sarcophagus on the high platform.

"I thought I would have to walk a long way to reach the main tomb. The other tombs would have to go around for a long time, and I would have to go through the tombs of countless burials. I didn't expect..." Before Natalya could finish her sentence, a The coffin lid of the sarcophagus was broken from the inside out.

Out of each sarcophagus emerged a ghoul with weapons, heavy armor, and horned helmets.

"Clean them up, and I'll deal with the big one that crawls out immediately." Natalya hung the torch on the wall beside her, and a purple-black light surged from her body. After the light dissipated, Rhodes found her gone.

With a high level of illusion, can you still hide in front of others?

As Rhode stepped forward, he took out a two-handed sword from the space ring.

After infusing the internal force and magic power into the sword, materialized sword energy spewed out from the sword in Rhode's hand, creating a gust of wind around him.

Ghouls will retain part of their previous combat experience. The dozen or so ghouls in front of Rhodes did not rush towards him frantically, but slowly approached him together.

Rhodes rushed to the nearest ghoul holding a two-handed giant axe.

Seeing this, the ghoul stopped in its tracks. It stood there and raised its giant axe, waiting for Rhodes to approach.

After Rhodes approached it, it fiercely slashed the giant ax it held high towards Rhodes.

Rhodes had been prepared for a long time, he easily avoided the attack, and walked around behind the ghoul.

boom!
The giant ax hit the ground with a dull bang.

Rhodes stabbed the sword in his hand from behind the ghoul, and when the two-handed sword sank into the ghoul's body, countless cutting sword qi broke away from the shackles of the sword body, cutting its upper body and head into pieces.

The body of this ghoul is much weaker than Rhodes imagined. He was worried that the body of the ghoul would be too hard to make it difficult for him to pierce it. It turned out that it seemed that the sword qi was separated from the body and used a long-range attack. can kill them all.

Rhodes held the sword and slashed at the nearby ghouls. A straight sword aura flew towards them obliquely. The sword aura exploded when it collided with a weapon in front of a ghoul. The raging sword Qi twisted the ghoul's arms into pieces.

Seeing that the effect of the long-range attack was not very good, Rhodes charged at the ghouls in front of him again with his sword, and cut them into pieces together with the weapons of the ghouls after a few encounters.

Much weaker than expected, these ghouls only have second-order strength at most.

Rhodes was too lazy to pick up the broken weapons on the ground. He walked up the stairs next to the high platform and found that Natalya was struggling to pry open the sarcophagus in front of him.

"It's fine if you can't open it, just one less trouble, we find a way to get out of here when we find the treasure, and I'll give you the antidote after we get out," Rhodes said.

"There is no treasure chest here. The treasure should be hidden in this sarcophagus. We must open the sarcophagus, or it will be a waste of time." Natalya searched earnestly for a place to pry open the sarcophagus.

Rhodes stood aside and used the mage ball, ready to see what was going on inside the sarcophagus.

To his surprise, it was not a coffin at all.

"Don't waste your energy. This is a whole piece of stone, deliberately carved to look like a coffin. No matter how hard you use it, it is impossible to pry it open. Let's find a way to get out of here." Rhodes said.
