Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1192 - 771: Ringing the Bell

"Finally, we can ring the bell...."

When these words jumped out of Hevi's mouth, not only him, but everyone felt a sense of relief.

The sense of achievement after defeating a formidable enemy, the relief of the torturous journey finally ending, and the anticipation for the upcoming adventure... all these feelings intertwined at this moment, making everyone's emotions incredibly complex.

To conquer the "Double Stone Statue Ghosts," they had lost track of how many days they had spent in the Dungeon, holding on without leaving.

Now, having defeated the enemy all at once, fatigue surged in like a tide as they relaxed, and some were already teetering, about to fall to the ground.

"Keep your spirits up, we can't fall short at the final moment. Don't you want to persevere until the end and see it through?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Hevi's voice forced those showing fatigue to rally themselves.

The Sain Dungeon would directly kick out adventurers in poor mental states, a well-known fact in the adventurer circles.

Although Sain Dungeon usually doesn't treat people kindly, everyone feels that it's quite humane in this regard.

It's not uncommon for adventurers to suddenly die in the Dungeon, often due to mental depletion from prolonged continuous engagement, with a chance of becoming a Plant-man after resurrection.

Gong Qiying has always valued adventurers, hence the setting of a danger line; while some dungeons wish to drain adventurers all at once, for their own survival.

Hevi knew very well that everyone's mental state now was close to the danger line where the Sain Dungeon would kick them out, but getting kicked out just before ringing the bell would be a great loss. Entering again would mean the grueling task of fighting the Double Stone Statue Ghosts anew, possibly even a failed attempt.

So, no matter what, everyone had to hold on and finish ringing the bell!

The bodies of the double Stone Statue Ghosts slowly turned to ash and scattered, leaving a large amount of light point rewards behind.

[Stone Statue Ghost Tail Axe]

[An axe formed by cutting off the tail of the Stone Statue Ghost guarding the Awakening Bell of the Undead Church]

[Can be used as a Bronze Battle Axe, possibly because it was originally a tail, so the axe handle extends like a whip when attacking with force]

[Stone Golem Helmet]

[The helmet worn by the Stone Statue Ghost guarding the Undead Church]

[Since the skin of the Stone Statue Ghost itself is hard enough, wearing this bronze helmet is merely for decoration, not expected to provide much defense]

[War Ash: Justice Strong Wind]

[Wings capable of stirring a hurricane grow from the back, and the advancing hurricane will blow away enemies in its path and leave a Wind Field along the trajectory. Those who tread in it will receive the protection of the wind, increasing their movement speed]

Besides these, there was a pile of miscellaneous small items, just picking them up one by one was enough to strain the waist.

"Justice Strong Wind... is this the Combat Skill used by that distinct-looking Stone Statue Ghost?"

Hevi was very fond of this skill from Galio, as the description indicated it was both offensive and supportive, the only downside being that the Wind Field seemed to affect enemies as well.

As for the other two Stone Statue Ghosts' weapons and equipment, they held little value for the Starfire Knights, who could hand them over to the Church upon return.

"If we can obtain a skill from that Stone Statue Ghost, could it be possible to acquire the rest as well?"

The Starfire Knights proposed a very likely possibility.

After all, the skills from Galio were quite impressive, with a thick Shield that could heal allies, a Wind Field strong enough to blow away, and the eye-emitted shockwave boasting impressive damage.

"Ouch!"

As they were taking stock of their gains, Hevi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, stumbling and almost falling to the ground.

No, the body that was barely holding on was now worsening, there was no time for delay, they needed to ring the bell quickly.

Feeling that their own physical conditions were also not optimistic, the Starfire Knights hastily collected the scattered light points on the ground and headed towards the nearby bell tower.

The Fog Gate blocking their path had long disappeared. Passing through the modest doorway, they finally entered the eagerly anticipated interior of the bell tower.

"It doesn't look that special. It's just a very ordinary building."

Reflecting on how, after exhausting effort to defeat the formidable Double Stone Statue Ghosts, they could finally enter this place, only to find the architectural style no different from the Undead Church, they had much to feel about.

Climbing the ancient spiral staircase upwards, ascending the creaky wooden handrail, and passing through the opening at the top of the ceiling, they finally reached the top of the bell tower!

The closest-to-sky sunlight shone upon Hevi's face, as he took a deep breath and saw the great bell symbolizing the undead mission.

The bell body was antiquated, simply looking at it could feel a rush of historical atmosphere, a layer of dust accumulated on the bell's surface, indicating it hadn't been rung in a long time.

Gong Qiying had modified it from the original lever mechanism to a manual bashing rod, thinking it added a special feeling.

The Starfire Knights, with a shared understanding, simultaneously exerting force with no countdown, held the cold-feeling bashing rod together.

The heavy rod, driven by their collective force, struck the ancient bell.

The surface dust, under the sunlight, vanished without a trace.
