My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 105 Xia Geng Corpse
"You used the elixir gourd."

"Currently remaining: 2/3."

"You woke up in the tomb. Looking at the bronze coffin in front of you, you were tempted to do something, but in the end reason prevailed and suppressed your greed."

"Because you know very well in your heart that if you force the coffin open again to search for treasures, you will most likely repeat the same mistake and waste your life in vain."

"Also, the underground palace map you found on your body turned into a pile of ashes at some point."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Should we leave this underground tomb directly? Or should we continue to explore in the tomb?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and decided to leave for the time being as there was no point in staying here.

On the contrary, the map of Greater Khingan Range is a good place. He can take this opportunity to explore this map.

However, just as Jiang Xinghuo was about to control the character to leave, a message suddenly popped up in the game text without warning.

"You were about to leave the underground palace when you suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside. It came from the other side entrance."

"Someone wants to use external force to break open the door of the underground palace and force his way in to explore."

"Because the other party made too much noise and did not try to cover it up at all, this underground palace was also discovered by the hunters in the mountains."

"And as the news spreads, more and more people will discover this underground palace, and I'm afraid it will be completely excavated soon."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the information on the screen and figured out the hidden meaning in the text, which was that this underground palace was no longer a hidden copy, and other players could come and explore it at will.

"It's a bit interesting..."

Jiang Xinghuo stroked his chin, his eyes thoughtful. The underground palace was full of traps and dangers. He had a route map, and with the help of the evil star in his hand, he was able to sneak into the main tomb chamber safely.

But others may not have this ability. Not to mention entering the final main tomb chamber, even if they want to enter the burial chamber, they will probably have to die more than a dozen times.

It’s a pity that the map I have is damaged and I can’t sell it to other players, otherwise it would be a considerable income.

I guess this is the game's protection mechanism to prevent players from taking advantage. After all, with a map in hand, the underground palace is equivalent to an unguarded gold mountain, and anyone can break in.

"You left the main chamber."

"You walked out along the same path you came in. When you passed the tomb chamber, you found that the bronze ghost head you smashed had automatically repaired itself."

"But this time they didn't attack you, and you left the underground palace smoothly."

"Where are you going next?"

“1. Activate the shrine in the underground palace and teleport back to Guandong City. Continue to explore the places you have never been to in Guandong City.”

"2. Continue walking along the gravel road under your feet, heading deeper into the Greater Khingan Range. Perhaps there will be greater opportunities waiting for you there."

There was no need to hesitate. Jiang Xinghuo directly chose the second option and continued to wander around the Greater Khingan Range.

"Just keep walking along the path under your feet."

"You saw many mandrills in the surrounding woods, but they were afraid of your power and only dared to stare at you from a distance, not approaching."

"Sometimes a wild and unruly mandrill would pounce on you with its claws waving, but you would eventually freeze it into an ice sculpture and smash it to pieces with a stick."

“It’s not until you get outside the range of these mandrills that they gradually disappear into the mountains.”

"You have arrived at Ghost Crying Ridge." "You searched the surrounding area carefully and finally found the shrine left by Fengdu under a lightning-struck tree."

"You have lit up the shrine of Devil's Crying Ridge."

"Ghost Crying Ridge, this place used to be a forbidden area of ​​the palace. Only the servants of the inner court of the palace, the so-called Sura, could enter with a token."

"It is said that there are many secrets hidden here, but since the Dawn Night, the guards responsible for guarding Ghost Crying Ridge have died or escaped, and the huge Ghost Crying Ridge has become deserted."

"Those buried secrets are also hidden under the snow."

"And the reason why this place is called Ghost Crying Ridge is because it is too mysterious. Any living creature that enters it will disappear from the world forever. No one will see the person alive, and no one will see the body after death. Only on nights with a full moon in the sky can you hear the miserable and sad wailing coming from it."

"You walked into the Devil's Crying Hill."

"It was getting dark, and there were shadows in the mountains. You sensed a hint of danger."

"Suddenly, a dark shadow jumped out from the woods and rushed towards you madly."

"You were attacked by Xia Geng's corpse."

"Xia Gengshi, this is an extremely strange monster. Only extreme conditions can give rise to such a monster."

"First, we need a body that has frozen to death in the ice and snow, then we need to strip off the clothes on it and place it in an extremely cold place. After that, we need to burn the body with heavenly fire."

"Only in this way can a Xia Geng corpse be born, who loves to eat fresh flesh and blood and is full of tyranny and cruelty."

"Moreover, this kind of corpse is not afraid of water or fire, is invulnerable to swords and guns, and is immune to lightning and fire magic. It is almost immortal. Even if only one hand is left, it will attack the enemy in front of it."

After seeing the description about Xia Geng's corpse, Jiang Xinghuoxin felt that he was quite difficult to deal with, but one must know that thunder and fire spells can be said to be the nemesis of all demons and monsters.

However, Xia Geng's corpse is completely immune to these two attacks, which means that physical means must be used to destroy Xia Geng's corpse.

"You swung the Qiankun Stick, stirring up a cloud of snow, trying to freeze Xia Geng's corpse in front of you like you did with the mandrill."

"But whether in terms of ferocity or strength, the Xia Geng corpse is far superior to the mandrill."

"Xia Geng's corpse broke free of the icy shackles and roared towards you. You had no choice but to open your magic bag and take out the Seven-Star Greatsword. The Big Dipper on the sword shone brightly and turned into a sword shadow, directly splitting Xia Geng's body into two pieces."

"But what you didn't expect is that the Xia Geng corpses in Ghost Crying Ridge are not individual entities, but a complete clan."

"You have attracted more Xia Geng corpses."

"They started a frantic pursuit of you. In the heavy snow, you kept knocking away Xia Geng's corpses. However, there were too many of them and you were simply unable to resist them."

Looking at the relevant description in the text, Jiang Xinghuo sighed helplessly. It seemed that he was going to die again this time.

But just when he was about to give up, he suddenly remembered the earth dragon armor forged by the Taoist Master Shengong.

So I immediately opened the inventory, found the Earth Dragon Armor, and chose to use it.

"You have received the blessing of the Earth Dragon Armor."

"Earth Dragon Armor (rare armor), a defensive armor forged by the Divine Craftsman Taoist. After activation, it can perform earth escape techniques. Splitting mountains and cracking rocks is just normal. The defense is 70% higher than that of ordinary armor. The speed remains normal, and it can be slowly repaired after being damaged."

Wish you, your family and friends a happy Dragon Boat Festival and all the best.
