Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 33: Immortal Guardian (Please read on!)

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

Footsteps and dripping water are the only two sounds in this ancient mausoleum.

An eerie silence filled the entire mausoleum, and dim lights followed one after another, guiding Luo Xiu in the direction to move forward.

In the dim corridor, water droplets seeped out through the cracks in the stone walls and dripped onto the swords of the giant statues on both sides.

In the dim light, one can vaguely see the stone-carved surface of the sword, with mottled marks of water erosion.

But they still maintain their complete appearance and have not collapsed due to erosion.

Millions of years ago during the Age of Gods, their carving skills were truly superb...

……

While thinking this, Luo Xiu had arrived at the door of a stone chamber.

When he pushed open the door, billowing smoke and dust filled the air, accompanied by a smell of decay, which made Luo Xiu frown.

I took a step forward and heard a "crunching" sound from the soles of my feet, as well as the feeling of something crackling.

Looking down, I saw a skull that was half crushed.

As the smoke and dust cleared, his vision became clear again, and Luo Xiu saw clearly -

The entire stone chamber was filled with eerie skeletons!

"Is this... a burial chamber...?" Luo Xiu's thoughts turned slightly, and he looked at the neatly arranged bones.

These skeletons are all human-shaped skeletons, and some subtle differences in features allow them to be identified as humans, elves, or orcs.

These skeletons are of different colors, and the time of their death can be roughly determined through the yellowed, gray, and creepy white skeletons.

But even though the skeletons are of different colors and died at different times, they all have one thing in common:

On their skeletons, corresponding to the vital parts of the human body, without exception, there were rusty sharp spears, broken swords and halberd blades piercing through;

Their skeletons were broken and almost all of them had large cracks!
This made Luo Xiu come up with a terrifying guess...

The enemies they had faced not only possessed great strength that could kill them with one blow...

This also means that the owners of these skeletons were killed in a brutal manner and then dragged here to be finished off!

Because if it weren't for this, it would be impossible for these skeletons to be arranged so neatly, and it would be impossible for these rusty weapons to remain on the corpses...

When he thought about the monster he was about to face would actually finish him off, Luo Xiu felt a chill down his spine.

If someone accidentally enters here and the guarding monster simply beats the intruder half to death and leaves, then this person still has a chance of survival.

But if the monster can finish off the enemy, the nature of the attack will be completely different...

If, once you are completely suppressed in a battle, you won't even have the chance to run away.

Death will become the most merciful and only ending.

In his previous life, Luo Xiu had followed indigenous NPCs to do a similar mission to explore ancient seals, and such a tragedy happened at that time.

"..."

Luo Xiu frowned. In such an environment, his rich experience made him more cautious.

He gathered his mind and began to sense the spiritual tide that was sweeping in from the depths of the mausoleum.

In a trance, he seemed to hear the sound of heavy armor hitting each other and steel boots hitting the hard stone ground.

Clank, clank, clank, clank…

……

Something was dragging something extremely heavy, slowly but unstoppably moving towards him.

After thinking calmly, Luo Xiu stood up and walked out of the bone burial room quietly.

Luo Xiu's eyes had become more resolute than ever before. In his previous life, as a great player of "God's Destiny", running away before the battle was not his style.

Now that we're here, we have to at least have a fight first...

Even if we cannot win, we must obtain sufficient intelligence before retreating.

With the strength of my skills at this moment, plus those of Index and Fenrir...even if I can't win, it shouldn't be difficult to escape unscathed!

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu cheered up and continued to walk deeper into the mausoleum.

……

On the [Limited Time Mission] panel, time is ticking away.

At a certain moment, when Luo Xiu came to an empty hanging palace.

The biting cold, accompanied by murderous intent, swept towards Luo Xiu like a sudden hurricane!

[You have encountered the "Immortal Knight" Grievel]

【…】

At the end of Luo Xiu's vision, he finally saw the figure swept by the violent spirituality—

It was a knight covered in full armor.

The armor he wore was slim and fitted, but nearly half of it was corroded, and the other half was full of cracks.

From the rusted surface of the armor, unknown ancient lines cling like vines; while from the cracks on the other half, dark and ominous black air continues to emanate;

His back was bent downward like a taut bowstring, and under the half-damaged helmet, two scarlet dots of light kept flickering and floating, giving people an unspeakable horror;
He was crawling on the ground, grasping the ground with his left hand, and holding a long, narrow, heavy, cold, hound-shaped knife in his right hand, and approaching slowly and steadily like a wild beast.

Clank, clank, clank, clank…

……

A huge feeling of oppression has already enveloped Luo Xiu's head.

The Undead Knight was slowly approaching, nearly twenty meters away from Luo Xiu.

At this moment, they were facing each other on top of an empty hanging palace, and the only way leading to the palace was by a floating bridge.

Luo Xiu walked along the edge of the hanging palace, negotiating with the Undead Knight.

He could feel that the air became heavier and more stagnant as the Undead Knight got closer.

As if guided, the Undead Knight would always move towards Luo Xiu's direction, but the gaze of the two scarlet eyes would not obviously shift with Luo Xiu's movements.

Is it myopia…?
Luo Xiu couldn't help but think that he had encountered many similar half-blind monsters that relied purely on perception in his previous life.

And when Luo Xiu found a suitable angle and distance, he threw a detection at the Undead Knight.

The panel flashed and gave feedback. Luo Xiu glanced at it and grasped the most important data.

He saw at first glance a key attribute of "Immortal Knight - Greville" -

It actually has an "agility" of 32 points!
This means it's not as slow as it looks!
As soon as he thought of this, Luo Xiu's expression instantly tensed and he entered a state of high alert.

And just at the same time.

The Undead Knight's vision suddenly twisted, and he looked straight in the direction where Luo Xiu was!

In the next moment, the figure of the Undead Knight disappeared from sight.

Luo Xiu suddenly smelled a pungent smell of rust.

Then he saw——

"The Immortal Knight - Grivil" has instantly appeared in front of him!
