A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 937 Mummy

Behind the door was a vast area, about the size of a gymnasium, as if the entire mountain had been hollowed out.

The surrounding mountain walls are hung with burning torches that illuminate the entire space.

By the light of the fire, Lyon saw hundreds of stone statues, all of which were human-shaped and carved to look lifelike.

But these statues did not have any beauty in Leon's eyes. Instead, they made him shudder, because the expressions on the faces of these statues were extremely hideous and painful.

"This is."

"Slaves of the Golden Dynasty were chosen by the king as sacrificial offerings. Under the influence of magic, they were transformed into stone statues, forever guarding this mausoleum, where all the nobles and royal family of the Golden Dynasty were buried, for their master and king."

Mr. Qi, who was standing next to Leon, explained.

"So the Skeleton Mine is actually a mausoleum in essence?" Lyon thought of the standard stone brick walls, the flat scaly floors and the large number of mummies inside the Skeleton Mine, and speculated based on Mr. Qi's description.

"I guess so. After all, the formation of the mine here is related to the burial place of the Golden Dynasty." Mr. Qi nodded.

"Then this doesn't count as tomb robbery, right?" Lyon joked.

"You're an explorer, why do you care about this?" Mr. Qi quipped, "Aren't you explorers the best at this kind of work?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I haven't done it. I'm just a part-time worker." Leon corrected him. "At the very least, you have to tell me the specific reasons why this mine was formed. Only then can I judge whether this counts as tomb robbery. I'm a very law-abiding person."

"Then it's up to you to discover it. Now all you have to do is go in and explore." Mr. Qi urged Leon with disdain.

Seeing that Mr. Qi didn't introduce the situation here, Leon sighed helplessly, his face full of regret.

Because he really wanted to hear stories. There were too many past events in the real world that were not covered in the game, and Leon was very interested in these news.

He walked towards the center point surrounded by these stone sculptures. There was a square staircase leading downwards. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be the entrance to the mine.

When he reached the stairs, Leon looked back at where Mr. Qi was before, and found that he had disappeared, and the stone door that was open when he came in was closed again.

Seeing this, Lyon returned the same way and looked at the stone door for a while. He found that there was no keyhole or mechanism to open it from the inside. He sighed and complained again.

"Well, it looks like we either have to go to the 100th floor to meet up with Mr. Qi, or we'll die."

With no way back, Lyon could only go back to the stairs and step on the hard steps one by one, heading down. When he reached the end of the stairs, what came into Lyon's eyes was an underground cave space similar to the mine in Stardew Valley.

The only difference is that the visibility here is very high. Although you can't see any lighting facilities, the cave is as bright as day and you can see everything inside at a glance.

Stones of various shapes were randomly distributed in the cave. Lyon looked around and didn't see anything else here except minerals, but this did not make him relax his vigilance.

"Let's have a good start."

Taking out a super bomb and lighting it, Leon threw it hard into the center of the cave.

"Bang!" Along with the sound of the explosion, all the minerals within a radius of ten meters around the point where the super bomb landed were instantly cleared out. While the broken stones dissipated into the air, they also left behind a ground of stones, copper and iron ores, and a small amount of gold ore.

But these are not Lyon's focus.

What really caught Leon's attention was that in the cleared area, strips of gray-yellow bandages that were similar in color to the ground began to entangle with each other and gather together, forming one human-shaped bandage monster after another.

It is the characteristic monster in the desert mine, the mummy!

"Uh-huh."

The awakened mummy let out an extremely shrill and long howl, and the outlines of its facial features, which were formed by the gaps in the bandages on its head, flashed with purple fluorescence, which looked quite strange.

All the awakened mummies discovered the existence of Leon, a living person, at the first moment, and all looked towards Leon, while taking light steps with their arms stretched straight, and gathered towards Leon together.

The movement speed is very fast, not as clumsy as in the game, and the pace is also very strange. It looks like it is walking, but the distance it moves forward with each step is far beyond the maximum distance that the mummy's legs can take.

It’s more like floating than walking, just like humans entering outer space but still retaining the habit of normal walking.

Not a completely physical creature, but more like a ghost, this was Leon's first impression of the mummy.

The next second, the Galaxy Watermelon Knife fell into Leon's hands out of thin air and began to extend. After it turned into a long and narrow Miao knife, Leon raised the knife and chopped at one of the mummies.

The long knife slashed through the air with a swift sound, and the blade easily broke the neck of the mummy that was chosen as the target.

But what made Leon frown was that the knife did not hit the target, because before the blade came into contact with the bandages that made up the mummy, the bandages actually broke apart as if they were alive, cleverly avoiding contact with the blade.

But this did not move anyone. After turning his wrist half a circle, he changed from slashing to chopping, and the blade went all the way down from the top of the mummy's head.

This time the bandage did not fall apart, but was hit solidly. The sharp purple blade cut through all the bandages on the front of the mummy like cutting tofu.

The broken bandages quickly began to curl up, and the mummy, which was made entirely of bandages, deflated like a deflated balloon. The bandages, having lost their support, fell to the ground under the influence of gravity, curling up into a ball, no longer having the hideous appearance they had before.

Looking at the bandages scattered on the ground, Leon did not relax, because he knew that the mummy had a certain immortality.

If these bandages are not completely destroyed and given enough time, it will be able to stand up again and attack you again.

The solution is also very simple. The flames caused by the bomb explosion can easily burn these constructed mummies, and the bandages that support its movement can completely eliminate this evil creature.

But that's a game, and reality doesn't require such a waste of bombs. Lyon has other ways.

For example, a torch made of wood and sap can be lit, and then placed on any part of the bandage. The dry bandage will be directly ignited, and then as the flames expand, it will be completely engulfed by the flames.

"woo woo woo woo."

As the bandage burned out, Leon heard a faint whimpering sound in his ears. He couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, but it sounded quite sad.
