Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 348 Unlucky Underworld

Kaz Plains, above ground area.

The biting cold wind howled on the open plain full of ruins of buildings, and a layer of lingering fog quietly shrouded the plain, like a mysterious veil.

Somewhere in the plain, Xin Lailai sat quietly on the barren red soil, meditating calmly. The surrounding mist with a hint of death would be diffused on his body as soon as it came within ten meters of him. The dark wisp of Wang Ming dispersed and was completely unable to interfere with him.

As the place where the former unified empire perished, the death and resentment on the Qazi Plain has not dissipated even after thousands of years, and it is also due to the casualties caused by the war between the Bahas Empire and the Kingdom of Li Yesti. And become more intense than before.

It is precisely for this reason that the Kaz Plains have become a paradise-like existence for the undead. The abandoned palace located underground in the Kaz Plains has become the most iconic hidden area in the Overlord world.

It can be said that if you are a newcomer to the world of Overlord, few will let go of the hidden dungeon underground in the Kaz Plains.

It is safe, easy to farm, easy to find, and close to the enemy. Almost all monsters are undead and undead who are extremely afraid of holy light attacks. It can be said that as long as you prepare the corresponding means, this is a holy land for over-leveling BOSS.

In fact, normally speaking, Xin Lailai should have brought Huoyu and a few people here first, but considering that compared to a simple and easy-to-find dungeon, what Huoyu and his group needed more at that time was a high-level person who could play a training role. Difficulty test, so I chose Labyrinth of Fire as the first copy of the guide.

Judging from the final result, the benefits of doing so are also obvious:
With the training in the Labyrinth of Fire, Huoyu and the others have grown significantly in actual combat experience, allowing the newcomer team to advance all the way in the hidden dungeons of the Angelicia Mountains. In just two days, they Angelicilia's first-level hidden dungeons were all cleared in two full days faster than Xin Lailai originally expected.

"Roar--!!"

"No, it seemed like it just said it would come back with revenge, and then ran away."

A few minutes later, Ling Yuzi opened his eyes and shook his head slightly.

"This...none. The Necromancer was burned by the demon-purifying flame released by Sky Fire and ran away directly. Its concealment ability is very strong. I couldn't directly lock it with the psychic field, so I didn't dare to Chase too deep in case it comes back to attack Huobao and the others after I leave.”

Ling Yuzi's figure appeared. She closed her eyes, mobilized her soul energy, and quickly sketched out objects that were somewhat similar to runes in mid-air.

Suddenly, when Xin Lailai passed by a collapsed ruin somewhere, a loud roar came, and undead people with soul fire burning in their eye sockets emerged one after another because they had 'smelled' the souls of the living. Then, the death knight on the top floor of the ruins jumped down excitedly and rushed straight towards Xin Lailai.

"Lailai, I'll try to use the soul fluctuations left by it to expand the tracking range."

Xin Lailai frowned slightly as he sensed the spatial fluctuations around him that had not completely dissipated.

Xin Lailai said, quickly stood up, stepped forward, and the ground under his feet cracked with a crack like a spider web, and the surrounding fog was blasted away to create a straight channel.

"No, it is no longer in this underground ruins. It has most likely escaped from the Kaz Plains."

"Very well, you can show me the way and try not to let it run away!"

"How's the situation? Did you take action or did they use props to retreat in time?"

——After all, who hasn’t had a dream of getting rich? Especially for a person who has five passive skills to support.

"Is that so... Dotian, Yanyu, please take the two of you to meet Zhengyu Zhengshou and the others. I will go ahead to check the situation."

"Motian and Yanyu are coming with me. Huoyu and the others encountered some unexpected situations. Zhengyu, please stay here for the time being. After Zhengshou finishes forging this piece of equipment, bring her over to join us."

Although Xin Lailai knew very well that this was indeed the normal drop rate of basic passive scrolls, he still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Judging from the results, this room is just an ordinary palace and is unlikely to be the opponent's final destination. In other words, the Necromancer did not hesitate to activate a certain space after noticing something. By means of this method, he teleported himself directly out of this place.

Xin Lailai glanced at the two Doomsday men behind him, and after a quick explanation, he stepped forward and disappeared with a deafening sonic boom, rushing into the depths of the underground palace.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Five minutes later, the underground palace.

A third-level necromancer? !
Why is there such a thing in the underground palace? !

……

call out--!
The dark afterimage passed through the air. Xin Lailai followed the direction pointed by Ling Yuzi, running unstoppably through the huge underground palace complex. In just one minute, he rushed to the final destination indicated by Ling Yuzi. Orientation:

Om-!
Finally, when the soul array was completed, the surrounding soul fluctuations trembled slightly, suddenly gathered in the direction of Ling Yuzi, and then suddenly spread out in all directions.

"Zi Yuzi, can you still lock on to the remaining soul fluctuations of the Necromancer?"

The only pity is that, except for the difficult dungeon of the Labyrinth of Fire, all the remaining hidden dungeons, including the Labyrinth of Death, a secret realm mentioned in the original work, have not released even a single basic passive scroll.

This is a method she learned from the soul training manual. By constructing a simple soul magic circle, the effect of the soul secret method can be greatly increased.

"Yes. Although its concealment ability is very strong, its attainments in soul science do not seem to be high. There are obvious remnants of soul fluctuations wherever it walks."

"This is...a trace of space teleportation. Is that guy so decisive?"

"How's it going? You're not injured, are you? Did the Necromancer cast a curse on you before he left?"

Xin Lailai was shocked when he heard this. He immediately exited the meditation state and asked in his mind:

boom!
The huge arm formed by the spell chip easily knocked the death knight away, and the dark pressure was instantly released, pinning all the undead soldiers who were too close to the ground unable to move.

"Go away!"

"Boss Black Sword! Why are you here?!"

Xin Lailai was like a cannonball, crossing a distance of thousands of meters in just a few seconds, rushing to the edge of the Kaz Plains, and found Doomsday and others who were responsible for guarding Zhengshou who was immersed in the process of forging equipment. After glancing at the four people, he said:

Xin Lailai said in his mind, a frightening chill flashed across his dark pupils.

Can't even lock the psychic field directly? !
Hearing Ling Yuzi's answer, Xin Lailai's pupils shrank slightly, sensing the images and memories transmitted by the other party, he nodded slightly, and responded in his mind:
"Well, you did the right thing. The most important thing is to ensure the safety of Huoyu and others. The rest will be done after Dotian and I come over."

In the underground palace, the people in Huoyu looked at the Doomsday people who suddenly rushed out from the passage directly in front, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on their originally nervous expressions.

"I have been observing the situation inside using other methods, and when I noticed something was wrong, I brought them over directly."

"Lailai! There's an unexpected situation! Fire Bath and the others encountered a third-level necromancer in the underground palace!"

It would be fine if the Necromancer just ran away. Since the other party had personally said that he would come back with revenge, for the safety of Huo Yu and others and the smoothness of his next actions, it was naturally impossible to leave the other party alone.

Xin Lailai nodded slightly, but there was not much surprise in his eyes. Being able to leave such obvious spatial fluctuations means that the other party is most likely transmitting over a long distance. In this case, it is impossible to track him. has arrived.

The attempt just now was just a precaution.

"If I had known earlier, I would have prepared some divination methods before coming in."

Xin Lailai glanced at the surrounding scene and muttered to himself, silently remembering this lesson in his heart.

Because the intelligence investigation of the Overlord world was too detailed, he subconsciously ignored the possibility of variables that were not recorded even in the academic sect's information and Yamu's intelligence.

"Being able to avoid detection in the psychic field means that the guy's disguise and concealment abilities have reached at least the fifth level. Coupled with this cautious character, it's no wonder that no one has discovered its existence in the past. Already..."

After Xin Lailai recalled the memories conveyed by Ling Yuzi in his mind, he narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head slightly.

As far as the result is concerned, the fact that the opponent was not registered in the information was not an oversight by the academic sect and the contractors who came to the Overlord world in the past, but that the Necromancer was indeed too difficult to detect.

Although he has the strength of a third-level boss-level unit, he still has to disguise himself as an ordinary skeleton monster to hide in the army of the undead. His concealment and disguise ability are obviously so strong that even the psychic field can see them away, but he still dares not to take the initiative to make a sneak attack. , even so afraid of death that he would run away as soon as he was slightly injured...

From these perspectives, it was a complete coincidence to find the opponent this time. If it was an ordinary first-level team, there would be no chance of survival after angering the opponent. Naturally, no information would be spread, and if there was a second-order team, there would be no chance of survival. The team accompanying the first- and even third-level contractors, based on the character shown by the other party, would probably have to run away as soon as they saw the other party.

As for higher-level contractors who have the ability to directly see through the opponent's disguise? Normally, a contractor of that level would not waste time in a first- or second-level difficulty area like the underground palace.

That is to say, he happened to have the help of Ling Yuzi, so he chose to let Ling Yuzi, who was a soul body, secretly follow Huo Yu and the others without showing his face directly, making the other party mistakenly think that Huo Yu and the others were unprotected and planned to hide in the undead army and plan to backstab them. In one move, he happened to hit the sky fire that could release the demon-breaking flames, and his identity was accidentally exposed.

"That's all, at least it's a new piece of information. When you return and report it to the academic sect, you can get a hefty bonus." After realizing that he couldn't take the initiative to find out the Necromancer Xin Lailai sighed softly and accepted this fact in his mind.

After all, the third-level mini-boss who mastered the fifth-level concealment and camouflage abilities actually pretended to be a first-level monster in the skeleton army, and was scared away by the purification flame released by a first-level newcomer. If this kind of thing can be said I don't think many would believe it if I went out.

"Let's go, it's time to go back and join them. Since we can't find anyone, we can only ask them to be as careful as possible in their subsequent explorations."

Ling Yuzi nodded, disappeared, and escaped into the soul space.

Xin Lailai stood there and carefully examined the space fluctuations left by the opponent several times. After confirming that there was no possibility of tracking, he turned around and returned along the original path.

……

At the same time, the Dragon Kingdom.

The seven-colored light shone quietly in the entire closed space. On the unmanned throne made of crystal, a crown inlaid with a seven-colored gemstone was floating quietly above the throne, emitting a magnificent light. .

Sacred, solemn, and quiet.

This seems to be the eternal theme of this space, until...

Om-! !

A circle of silvery-white waves suddenly appeared in front of the crown, and then a thin figure wearing a shabby robe fell from the undulating space like water and landed on the floor made of gold. Under the inertia, He rolled forward twice, then hit the throne with his head. The hood fell off, revealing the bare skull head hidden inside:

——It was none other than the Necromancer, Fab Zalanoa, whom the Huoyu group met underground in the Kaz Plains and whom even Xin Lai Lai could not capture directly!
"It hurts...what the hell did this thing teleport to for us this time?"

The Necromancer Fab, who once swore to the people in the Fire Bath that he would definitely take revenge, shook his head, straightened his head a few times with the palm of his hand that only had the skeleton left, and glanced at his neck. The silver-white necklace hanging on his body muttered.

"Forget it, as long as you can escape."

Fabu muttered to himself, the soul fire in his eyes swayed slightly, and his body shivered slightly, as if he thought of something terrible.

horrible! Although it didn't see the specific thing it was catching up with! But just the aura that the other party exuded from so far away made him have the urge to kneel down on the spot!

There are such terrifying monsters standing behind those humans! No wonder such a weak human being can also use the Holy Flame!

but--!
Its majestic Necromancer Fab Zaranoa will never give in to the opponent!

"Just wait and see, I will definitely come back with revenge! When you die of old age! I will go to your graveyard, dig up your corpses and dance on your own graveyard!!"

Fab thought angrily and planned his own 'revenge plan' in his mind.

That's right, it must dig out the opponent's grave to make the opponent understand the horrific consequences of offending a Necromancer!

"Well, what is this? It seems to be valuable?"

Suddenly, Fabu, who was muttering about what he wanted to do with the other party's body, raised his head with some doubts following the seven-colored light that shone on him. When he saw the seven-colored crown floating on the throne, his eyes lit up. Subconsciously, he reached out and grabbed it.

boom!
Almost at the moment Fabu grabbed the crown in his hand and moved it slightly, the entire enclosed space trembled heavily, causing Fabu's soul fire to jump suddenly, and he suddenly jumped up with the colorful crown, frightened. The ground shouted around:
"Who... who's there?!"

Buzz, rumble—!
What responded to the Skeleton Necromancer was the violently trembling space in front of him, as well as the cracks in the space, and the figure exposed in the cracks:

——A superior demon exuding an astonishing aura of death!

"Soul...soul! Hungry...so hungry! I need soul, I need food!!"

Creepy whispers came from the mouth of the upper demon who was gradually waking up. When Fab saw this scene, his whole body shivered suddenly, and a look of extreme horror appeared on the skull's face.

"Don't... don't eat me! I'm a skeleton! It doesn't taste good!!"

"Someone broke into the Holy Land!!"

Suddenly, a frightened and angry voice came from the door, and a guard was seen standing in front of the door, looking at the scene inside in horror, and yelling behind him.

No, someone saw it!

Fab was shocked when he heard the human voice. However, before the tension in his heart could rise, a deafening roar erupted from the mouth of the demon who had completely awakened:

"soul!!"

The terrifying roar scared the little skeleton mage's legs to tremble, and he didn't care about anything else. He grabbed the colorful crown with his left hand, and grabbed the silver-white pendant around his neck with his right hand, and quickly injected a lot of magic power into it.

boom--! !

The next second, astonishing death energy and magic power erupted from the palace, and the figure of the skeleton necromancer disappeared into a space crack.

……

Dragon Kingdom, royal palace.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Sage, for helping us these past two days. Your performance has made me understand that you are indeed a true Sage."

In the gorgeous palace, a little black-haired lolita wearing colorful robes sat on the throne, looking at the underworld in front of her, with a gentle smile on her young face.

"Your Majesty Your Majesty said something serious. I just did what I should do. As a sage, I cannot watch innocent people fall into dire straits. I believe Your Majesty the Queen can understand this feeling. "

Underworld smiled slightly, gave a simple courtesy to the little Dragon Queen girl in front of him, and said in a gentle tone:

"Therefore, if Her Majesty the Queen is willing to trust me, could you please seriously consider cooperation?"

"Cooperate to attack the Sorcerous Kingdom..."

"Yes, the power you control will be a huge help to us. I know that you have sympathy for the Sorcerous Kingdom, which once supported the Dragon Kingdom, but you have also seen what happened to the Holy Kingdom."

"For those monsters with human intelligence, humans are just their food. Even if they show a kind side, they are just bait to attract humans to take the bait."

Hell Prison said in a deep tone, with a hint of seriousness in his expression. Hearing the words, the Dragon Queen fell silent, squinting her eyes slightly, wondering what she was thinking about.

After a long while, the Dragon Queen, who seemed to have made some kind of decision, raised her head and looked at the Hell in front of her, with a hint of majesty in her golden vertical pupils, and said:

"Your Excellency Sage, let me confirm again, are the words you promised me now true?"

"Of course, as long as Her Majesty the Queen is willing to help us defeat the Sorcerous Kingdom, I will assist you in the name of a sage to completely clean up the Orc Kingdom that has been destroying the peace and stability of the Dragon Kingdom."

Hell Prison said in a sincere tone, with no hint of falsehood on his face. Upon hearing this, the Dragon Queen's expression softened a little, she nodded and said:

"I understand. In this case, the Dragon Kingdom is officially..."

boom--! !

Before the Dragon Queen finished speaking, the ground beneath the two of them suddenly trembled, and the Dragon Queen's expression suddenly changed. Her gaze towards Hades instantly became extremely cold. Without any hesitation, she smashed the scepter in her hand. , released a magic accompanied by colorful light toward the underworld, and at the same time shouted angrily:

"Hell, you are so brave!!"

"I trusted your reputation as a sage in vain. I didn't expect you to risk releasing the devil and send someone to steal the colorful crown!!"

"?"

Faced with the sudden rage of the Dragon Queen, the Necromancer from the Cult of Death used an army of skeletons to help the Dragon Kingdom clean up an orc army in the past two days, claiming to be the leader of Hell who would not panic under any circumstances. For the first time, a blank expression appeared on his face.
