From Skeleton Soldiers to King of the Undead

Chapter 42 Dragon Cave Exploration Plan (please follow up)

[Almost damaged enchanted pendant, estimated at 10000 copper coins, recyclable]

It’s already almost broken but is it still worth so much money? !

The panel did not have an identification function. Roja curiously took out the pendant and hung it around his neck.

However, he immediately felt a little uncomfortable.

He could feel that this pendant was strongly repelling his undead power, which was probably its actual function.

Is this the reason why the skeleton did not become undead?

Luo Ya suddenly understood.

The next second, the sapphire inlaid in the pendant made a crisp sound, shattered into a burst of powder and disappeared.

——There is only an extremely weak soul energy floating in the air.

This severely damaged piece of enchanted equipment was directly exploded by Roja's aura from close range.

"..."

1 copper coins are just gone...

Luo Ya was speechless and put away the remaining silver chain.

Then, he put Kate's diary into the space because he thought the book had good collection value.

[Kate's diary, not recyclable.Treasure +1, experience value +10, free point +0.1]

Does that count?
Roja's eyes lit up and he immediately added points to his agility.

【Agility: 3.7→3.8】

A burst of cold energy poured into his body, and his reaction speed increased a little.

If the so-called "treasures" in the mission are not just measured in money, the scope is wide.

Roja couldn't help but think: I really hope Triss and Kate can leave more antiques...

Then, fully armed, he and the moose carefully went deeper into the cave step by step.

The diary mentioned that in order to prevent adventurers and mercenaries who wanted to steal treasure or hunt dragons while the dragon was sleeping, the path leading to Triss's lair was set up with a series of machine rooms by the small human chamber of commerce, so he had to be careful.

After passing a corner, the space of the cave suddenly became wider.

The height has not changed, but the area has increased, like a huge underground square, covered with conical stalactites up and down.

Moreover, the place has been cut off from the sunlight coming from the entrance of the cave, but it still has weak illumination.

——Those are countless tiny crystal grains contained in rock walls and stalactites, shining with blue light like stars in the dark cave.

It is precisely because of these light sources that there are still patches of purple-red moss growing on the ground deep in the cave, which is very soft when stepped on.

There are those tiny glowing crystals, which is why this cave is connected to a huge magic gem mine deep underground.

This place used to be a trap...

Roja stood in front of a large square pit and looked down.

The pit was five meters deep, with rows of sharp iron spikes two meters long standing at the bottom. There were also some aged leather armor and rusty weapon fragments scattered inside.

Presumably, when adventurers and mercenaries invaded the dragon's lair in the past, some people fell into it more than once, and then their bodies were penetrated and died.

This was also a trap before...

Roja came to a huge stone ball again and looked around in a circle.

The diameter of the large stone ball exceeds six meters, and it is polished to be completely round. Its surface is covered with traces of being chopped with swords and chiseled with hammers.

On the other side of the stone ball, there is a branch channel with extremely flat ground, which can just fit this giant rolling stone.

It is estimated that hundreds of years ago, many intruders sneaked into the passage, but in a desperate struggle they were instantly crushed into meat patties by this terrifying rolling stone.

After that, Roja visited many trap ruins such as spears nailed into the wall, spider silk nets, fallen rocks, and suspected flame-triggered magic, etc., and deeply understood the dangers of the Dragon's Lair.

As expected, "There is a kind of dead person called a dragon slayer."

Of course, these traps have all been abandoned and ineffective now, and he has not encountered any danger. [The map "Dragon's Lair" exploration progress is 10%, experience +30]

[Experience value: 40/680]

Very well, visiting the ruins also counts as exploring a new map.

After that, Roja turned another corner, but was blocked by a large pile of rocks.

This pile of rocks does not look like a mechanism, but seems to be caused by man-made sabotage...

No, eighty percent of it was what the dragon Triss did when she left - Roja judged as he looked at the huge claw marks on the rock wall above his head.

By the way, he estimated Triss' body shape based on the size of the claw marks.
The conclusion reached is that it is at least three times the size of a wyvern, which is astonishing.

The cat-man Kate can cut her wings with the dragon-killing blade, and her original strength is probably at least at the level of elite mercenaries like Scar and Pidge.

Having said that, this pile of rubble completely blocked the way forward, leaving no gap to pass through.

Triss doesn't want people exploring her cave?

Roja rubbed his hands, feeling even more excited.

Hehe, the more you don’t want it, the more I will do it.

If there was no Dong XZ inside, why would the dragon bury the cave?
However, the pile of rocks in front of me is so big that I don't even know how thick it is, tens of meters thick.

It would be a long project to dig out these huge rock blocks with manpower.

Roja snapped his fingers,
Fortunately, I have a heavy excavator that can operate for 24 minutes every 10 hours, and a gun truck that can continuously blast rocks!
He carefully studied the structure of the stone pile for a while, and planned the excavation path to avoid causing a second collapse of the cave.

Then he patted the moose on the back and ordered it to start working.

Moose, get on me!

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Under Roja's command, a series of energy bombardments hit a huge rock, finally opening several cracks in it.

Then the moose stepped forward and used its antlers and hooves to push the broken rock aside, and then continued to blast the next rock with energy cannons.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

What 996?Directly 007!

Building a moose passage cannot be completed in a day or two.

It would be a hindrance for Luo Ya to get involved again, so he could only be the head supervisor of the construction site.

But he wouldn't be idle, he took out his spear and started stabbing it.

997, 998, 999, 1000...

[Gunmanship (Elite 191/1000)]

The next level of spearmanship is "Grandmaster", and Roja is moving towards that level little by little.

……

A few days later, Border Town.

In a remote corner of the town, the light in the low and dilapidated stone house was very dim.

The delicate and thin young man was kneeling on the ground, waving his hands with a serious face, mumbling words, and casting spells.

Pigman Pig's body was finally buried in the town's cemetery by the sad and angry wolf orc, and he successfully became Phillip's hidden puppet.

Wolf has been frantically killing monsters in the Undead Mountains these days, trying to find the Skeleton Knight and crush it to pieces.

As a result, the forward troops of the Eagle Regiment advanced much faster.

Phillip rested at home for a few days, and finally recovered all his magic power, and even grew some because of turning the pig orc into a puppet.

He is trying to get in touch with his contracted undead again and summon him completely.

He was curious about what his undead looked like.
