Absolute Death Game-Chapter 298 - 70: Heart Piercer—Blade of Wailing

Xiao Buli had always wanted to see what was inside that dungeon and was curious to know what had happened to Zhang Yaoyang and the others, where they had finally gone. Now, equipped with the Exorcism Staff, he could finally enter that secret passage and take a look.

Originally, he planned to bring more people along, but after some thought, he decided to go alone first. The reason for this decision was that the Priest Wu Dak of the Amara he had once encountered was just a high elite, and the dungeon was only of white rank. Although it might have a big backstory, he estimated that it wouldn’t be too difficult, and he could probably solo it without any issues. That way, if any equipment dropped, he wouldn’t have to share it.

Besides, if he couldn’t beat it, he could always run. Xiao Buli was quite confident in his ability to escape. It wouldn’t be too late to find others to help with the dungeon afterward.

As he thought about this, he arrived at the entrance of the dungeon. By now, it was getting dark, and the white light barrier of the dungeon was very conspicuous. A Solo Player stood at the entrance, appearing eager to enter.

Xiao Buli glanced at the player’s name, which was Luo Xiu.

"Hey, are you planning to go in? There’s something wrong with that dungeon; it’s not possible to get in. Don’t waste your effort," Luo Xiu said.

Xiao Buli ignored the player’s warning, equipped the Exorcism Staff in his left hand, and cast a Dispelling Spell at the entrance’s light barrier. Sure enough, with the white light shimmering, a purple glow emerged from the entrance as if the barrier sensed the power of the Dispelling Spell and was resisting it. The revealed purple light from the barrier dimmed under the illumination of the Dispelling Spell’s white light, and Xiao Buli cast the Dispelling Spell two more times in succession until the purple light finally vanished.

Luo Xiu watched, dumbstruck. He had tried many times to enter but had been rebuffed each time. Now, he finally realized that it required a spell to break through, and he sighed to himself, wondering when he would be able to learn such a spell. Explore more stories with novelbuddy

(No, wait, the spell seemed to come from the staff in that guy’s hand.) While Luo Xiu was still pondering, Xiao Buli had already passed through the light barrier and entered. Luo Xiu hurriedly tried to follow but was repelled by the light barrier.

It turned out that the dungeon could only be entered by one person or by a group at a time. Since Xiao Buli hadn’t formed a party with him, Luo Xiu couldn’t enter.

As soon as Xiao Buli entered, he found himself in a rough, uneven tunnel resembling a thief’s tunnel. The walls and ground still bore the marks of excavation, clearly man-made. Following the tunnel down for about one to two hundred meters, the path suddenly opened up, revealing a perpendicular slab stone pathway. The rough ground abruptly changed to flat stone bricks. The stone slab pathway was notably spacious and neat, like an underground tomb’s corridor. Xiao Buli easily discerned which side led to the exit and which to the depths of the tomb, as the corridor was slanted. The upward slope clearly led to the tomb’s entrance, while the downward slope led to its depths.

He wasn’t interested in finding the exit and headed straight down towards the tomb. The corridor was pitch-black, but once Xiao Buli donned the Betrayer’s Dark Vision, everything became clear. In this clear vision, he saw mounds resembling piles of dirt on the ground ahead. From a distance, he couldn’t see them clearly. As Xiao Buli drew nearer, and with the gradual approach, he was horrified to discover they were actually piles of corpses — each pile appearing to contain hundreds of bodies. He counted dozens of piles on his way down, which meant there were thousands of corpses?

Even within the game screen, the sight of so many corpses sent a chill down his spine. These bodies were dressed in strange attire that seemed to belong to some ethnic minority, significantly different from the classic Eastern costumes he was used to seeing. There were men, women, and even many children, but their faces were unrecognizable due to decay.

After walking three or four hundred meters further down, something unusual appeared. One of the corpse piles had inexplicably come apart, with dozens of bodies scattered and lying in disarray, some chopped in half, while others were burnt to cinders. Sword and axe marks marred the walls, clearly indicating a battle had taken place here.

Xiao Buli walked around the scattered bodies twice and suddenly realized — these were the effects of the "Driving the Walking Dead" skill, weren’t they?

The heads of these bodies were all facing in one direction, suggesting they had been awakened by a Corpse-driving Warlock and had attacked a target. At the end of the scattered bodies was a ring of corpses chopped into pieces.

Xiao Buli surmised that these Walking Corpses had surrounded a target and then been wiped out by a powerful move. As for the move used, Xiao Buli instinctively felt it should be "Wind Rolls The Scattered Clouds"; he often used this move and was clear about its effects. Besides, those cut by a berserker’s Whirlwind Slash would typically only be bisected and not chopped into segments like these corpses.

The traces of battle reminded him of two people in the team, Liu Xing and Bai Yunfei. One could cast "Wind Rolls The Scattered Clouds," and the other knew Corpse-Driving Technique. But why would they fight each other? Or was it another enemy with the same skills?

Xiao Buli continued deeper into the tomb corridor while contemplating. The further he went, the more alarmed he became. Along the way, he saw more and more traces of battle, various kinds, which he could deduce some detail from. It was very likely that they were left by Zhang Yaoyang and his group. However, he didn’t know much about those people, so some things he couldn’t confirm.
