Chapter 336 Triggering the Tomb Again

"Why didn't it attack me?"

Wang Zhifan felt puzzled at this moment. He stopped and turned his head slightly to look at the place he had just passed. He found that the malice still existed in the shadow of the candle base on the wall of the passage, but the other party was still hiding and seemed to have no intention of attacking it. The state was quite strange.

"Did you sense my danger... Then let you go... Anyway, I didn't come here to do cleaning work."

After forcing a little explanation, Wang Zhifan turned around and continued to move forward along the passage, facing the hideous monster crawling on the ground in front.

This existence that looked like a fanged crocodile was very different from Wang Zhifan's impression of ordinary monsters. It seemed to be very calm. It had obviously seen Wang Zhifan's figure a long time ago, but it did not charge forward fiercely. Instead, it slowly moved forward on the ground of the passage like a mature and steady warrior, and had a calm temperament different from ordinary trash.

"I didn't expect that the people in this underground city are not very good, but the monsters are very interesting."

Wang Zhifan felt a little happy when he saw this situation. He decided to show respect to this "calm" small fish monster. He didn't use a long-range knife to kill it, but let it have a chance to fight with him in close combat, even though the outcome of such a battle was doomed.

So in this underground passage illuminated by dim candlelight, Wang Zhifan suddenly became "serious". He held the Wolf Killer Blade with both hands, pointed the tip of the knife straight ahead, and walked towards the crawling monster in front of him slowly, as if two warriors were having a solemn duel.

The monster seemed to understand his fighting spirit. Its long and pointed head was slightly raised, its orange-brown eyes stared at him, and its sharp mouth full of sharp teeth was slightly opened. It made a low threatening sound, and at the same time, several thick short legs stepped forward step by step.

About ten seconds later, the man and the monster finally "fought hand to hand" in the passage. Wang Zhifan's knife tip was close to the monster's eyes, and the low roar from the monster's mouth became louder and louder. But strangely, neither Wang Zhifan nor the monster launched an attack first, and the two of them were deadlocked at such a close distance.

"Why don't you rush over! Or turn around and run away! What's the matter with standing there! Do you have to waste the opportunity I gave you to show off?!"

At this time, someone's mentality became quite speechless. He felt that he could no longer understand the behavior of the monsters in this dungeon. He found that they were not like ordinary monsters at all, lacking the most basic aggressiveness.

But it was this puzzled doubt that suddenly aroused the slightly distant memories in his heart, and made him understand something in an instant.

"Could it be that the collusion effect was triggered?!"

Feeling that this explanation was reasonable, he immediately raised one hand and took off a necklace called the Chapter of Darkness from his neck. Then, almost at the moment the necklace left his neck, the fanged crocodile monster in front of him suddenly jumped up, and at the same time, he felt a cold killing intent behind him!

"It is so!"

Wang Zhifan didn't care at all that he was suddenly caught in the situation of being attacked from both sides. He immediately activated the source of ice and instantly killed the crocodile monster in front of him and the spirit monster behind him, turning them into ice crystal residue and spirit fragments. At the same time, he put the Chapter of Darkness necklace that he had just taken off on his hand back on his neck.

"I didn't expect that after so many dungeons, I encountered a monster that can trigger the special effect of the Dark Chapter again... It really makes me miss it..."

The cause of the abnormal situation was found, and Wang Zhifan couldn't help but show a sigh on his face. The reason was that the last time he triggered the Collusion was a long time ago. At that time, he only had a necklace of the Dark Chapter on his neck, but now it has become three, and the Dark Chapter has become the least noticeable one among them.

"It seems that I no longer need this special effect of not being attacked by monsters... Ordinary BOSSes are just trivial to me, and monsters can be easily eliminated... But it's also good to be able to stroll around the dungeon."

After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan judged that triggering the Collusion was not a bad thing. It can save him some energy to deal with miscellaneous matters and focus more on more critical things.

But this does not mean that he will ignore the ordinary monsters he encounters later. In addition to some boss monsters that are very good at breath camouflage, there may be small monsters in this dungeon that will not trigger collusion. After all, the triggering judgment of this effect is very confusing, and only monsters of specific categories will be affected.

In this way, time continued to pass, and Wang Zhifan continued his exploration in the dungeon, but because most monsters regarded him as their own kind and did not attack him, his time in the dungeon became particularly leisurely, almost no different from traveling.

Along the way, he saw all kinds of monsters fighting adventurers, adventurers from different groups fighting each other, and adventurers in the same group fighting each other because of the discovery of treasure. It can be said that it is quite exciting.

At this moment, he has arrived at the third floor of the dungeon without any danger. The situation here is different from the two floors above. The intricate candlelight passage no longer exists, and it is replaced by an extremely vast underground wilderness, or it can also be called a super-large underground cave.

Most of this underground world is dark, and all monsters can chase enemies in the dark, so most adventurers carry lanterns and other lighting objects, or have spells such as creating light and seeing in the dark, and try their best to search for treasures that may exist in this underground world.

Wang Zhifan, like he did on the upper two floors, still walked slowly with a knife in one hand, relying only on his strong perception to judge the surrounding situation. If he encountered a monster, he would not take the initiative to provoke it, and the monster would mostly ignore him, just like coming here for a picnic.

"Help! Help!"

Suddenly, in the endless underground darkness, he heard a child's cry from a distance, and the voice was a bit childish in panic, which made him curl up his mouth.

"There are still children in this underground? It's simply an insult to people's IQ... It must be a monster in disguise."

Without thinking carefully, Wang Zhifan knew that this must be a scam, but the scam was not designed well enough, and it might not be able to deceive the adventurers who could reach here. After all, those who can come here need to go through the tests of the upper two floors, and they cannot come here smoothly without a certain strength and brain.

"But monsters that can talk are relatively rare, so they might be a good source of intelligence."

After a little thought, Wang Zhifan decided to approach them proactively, so that he could have a breakthrough in his intelligence exploration.

He then quickened his pace and headed towards the source of the sound, quickly passing through the dark and rugged cave floor and arriving at the target's location.

In the darkness, he sensed that this was a relatively ordinary-looking place, covered with rugged rocks and faintly smelly soil like other places. The only special thing was that there was a small mound of earth on the ground that looked like a grave, and the child's cry for help he had heard before came from this small mound of earth.

"Help! Help! Help..."

When Wang Zhifan arrived quietly, the young child's cry for help continued to come out of the mound, making people feel a sense of weirdness and coldness from the bottom of their hearts.

"Stop yelling, can we chat?"

Although it was a bit strange to talk to a strange tomb, Wang Zhifan still decided to take this step. He knew that this kind of existence could not hurt him. He had killed many ghosts and monsters before and had quite a lot of relevant experience.

But as he spoke, the tomb that was still calling for help in the last second stopped making sounds, as if interrupted by external interference, and fell into a dead silence.

Wang Zhifan immediately increased his attention. He expected that this guy might surpass the level of ordinary monsters and would attack him secretly, and he was ready to launch a counterattack.

But the attack did not come, and the response did not come. He first noticed a few flashing lights in the distance, and then heard a slight sound of footsteps, as if several adventurers were coming here.

"What are they doing here? Is there any treasure hidden here?"

Wang Zhifan suddenly felt a little strange. With his understanding of the adventurer group, they would not break into such an obvious monster trap unless the benefits outweighed the risks.

In order to satisfy his curiosity, he quickly retreated into the boundless darkness, hiding in the darkness and waiting for the group to approach. The existence in the tomb did not stop him from leaving, and remained silent.

Soon, the people who came had already shown clear figures in the light. They were indeed a group of adventurers, and they were the kind of adventurers that looked quite average.

Among them, the one who walked the front was a majestic old man wearing a gray robe, holding a lantern in one hand and a staff in the other. Behind the old man were several middle-aged and young people with serious expressions. There were tall and strong bald warriors with armor covered with battle scars, and archers holding powerful longbows with sharp eyes who always paid attention to the surrounding darkness. There was even a young man wearing a cowboy hat and holding two guns. Everyone could understand their combat effectiveness just by looking at their appearance.

"There are players in this group? Interesting..."

Wang Zhifan recognized the young man wearing a cowboy hat and holding two pistols as a player at a glance, because he had long known through communication with Jack that this kind of firearms did not exist in this world, and there were not so many types of clothing.

While he was hiding in the darkness and observing silently, the group of people also came to the small grave and stopped about five meters away.

"This is it. This grave is buried with a descendant of the demon king. We can use its soul to detect whether the demon king has returned. Please cooperate with me to subdue it."

The speaker was the majestic old man in the robe who was walking in front. He raised his hand and threw the lantern in his hand to the grave in front. The lantern suddenly flew to the top of the grave like a balloon, and then the originally dim light quickly brightened, illuminating the grave below and its surroundings.

The old man in the robe also held the staff and began to chant. Although it was difficult to understand what he was chanting, anyone with good perception could find that the extraordinary power was covering the surrounding area, like a simple field gradually forming.

One consequence of this was that Wang Zhifan, who was hiding nearby, could not hide himself. Even if he quickly took out the wind-hiding hat and put it on his head, he could not cover up his breath. The other party's detection strength far exceeded his invisibility ability.

"Who's there!"

Accompanied by the exclamation of the old man in the robe, a heavy figure like a boulder suddenly rushed towards the direction he pointed at, and had a fierce collision with a young man standing there!

Bang!

The heavy sword that the bald warrior smashed down violently was instantly blocked by a man in a bamboo hat with a long knife. Then the man in the bamboo hat exerted force again, and instantly pushed the bald warrior who was rushing back several steps. Then an arrow that was arcing towards the back of the man in the bamboo hat was chopped away by him with a knife. A large piece of ice crystals that silently extended from the ground also stopped at the feet of the man in the bamboo hat inexplicably and could not affect him. In a very short time, this person showed his very strong combat response ability.

"Everyone stop! I think I know him! This should be a misunderstanding!"

The gunman player wearing a cowboy hat spoke up immediately. He actually chose to speak for Wang Zhifan and told his companions not to continue fighting with Wang Zhifan. But Wang Zhifan was very sure that he definitely didn't know this gunman player. Both his appearance and his aura were unfamiliar.

Perhaps it was because of the fighting power that Wang Zhifan had just shown that made others feel pressured. The words of this player immediately had a good effect. Everyone stopped attacking and turned their heads slightly to look at the cowboy hat player, waiting for his further explanation.

"Brother, I know you are from the same place as me by looking at your outfit. My companions were just startled by your sudden appearance. In fact, they have no ill intentions. I hope we can reach a reconciliation and stop fighting in vain."

The cowboy hat player saw that Wang Zhifan had stopped, so he spoke to him with a sincere smile.

Wang Zhifan didn't want to fight in the first place. He also wanted to get the information he needed from these people, so he chose to follow this step.

"I am here to investigate this place, not to find out about you. I need information about the Demon King. If you don't mind, I can cooperate with you."

As he spoke, he sheathed the long sword in his hand, showing his sincerity in reconciliation.

"Well... it's not good for all of us to continue fighting. Let's turn our attention back to the tomb of the Demon King's descendants. Its followers have been summoned. They are our real enemies."

The majestic old man nodded immediately to accept the reconciliation, and then he reminded everyone that this place is no longer safe. Evil figures gathered from the darkness and responded to the call of the soul of the Demon King's descendants.
