Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 68 Mausoleum
Silent all night.

After a night's rest, everyone's spirits have recovered. Although there was a small accident last night, the destination is just ahead, and there is absolutely no way to stop and retreat at this time.

I don’t know if it’s because all the mummies were killed in the attack last night, but we didn’t encounter any mummies along the way today and successfully reached the tomb of the ancient fallen empire.

A huge pyramid, estimated to be two hundred meters high, taller than the largest pyramid on Earth, together with many mausoleum buildings, forms a super-large mausoleum.

Not to mention the mummies that were animated by the curse along the way, according to Tassera's judgment, those curses all came from the tomb in front of them. Just looking at the size of the tomb, such a large tomb must hide at least one... There is no way to judge, anyway, Leon is sure that the tomb is not something that everyone can covet.

"What are you looking at?" Tassela said, "We are going in."

"Let's go." Everyone couldn't wait.

The barbarian rushed into a mausoleum building first, pushed aside the yellow sand that filled the room, found a bracelet, put it in his mouth and took a light bite, then took it out. No teeth marks were found, which meant that the bracelet was not made of gold. He was not very satisfied with it, but still put it in his arms.

After the barbarian took the lead, everyone started to move. Even the brass dragon joined the treasure hunting team with great interest and no longer had the heart to chat with others.

While others were fully satisfied with the gold, silver and treasures buried in the mausoleum, Tassela's attention was on the words on the walls of the mausoleum that Leon could not understand.

Tassela noticed that Lyon was attracted by the sculptures carved on the pillars of the mausoleum.

Compared to Lyon's amateur onlookers, she knew much more.

"In addition to the three pillar gods, the only gods in the ancient fallen empires are these animal gods."

"Si, the cat, a goddess with a cat's head and a human body, the patron saint of the family."

"Ku, the ant, the god of construction."

"Kai, the crocodile, the god of storms and strength, is always surrounded by dark energy."

"The Jackal is the god of death. It is also the judge of the underworld. It judges the dead fairly. The good ones go to the reed plains, and the evil ones fall into the abyss of burning soul flames. It is good at absorbing and devouring souls."

Tassela knows them all.

Leon didn't say anything, because he already knew that this world was just a world based on DND.

He understood that those setting books could be used as references to a certain extent. It seemed that the red dragon was still the tyrant of the mountains, the blue dragon was still characterized by wrinkled ears and a huge horn, and the brass dragon was still keen on conversation, but that was all. Didn't this mean that there were a lot of unfamiliar gods?

A scream suddenly rang out.

Leon and Tassela looked at each other and ran towards the direction where the scream came from, only to see a huge scorpion clamping the bard with its pincers.

It was a giant scorpion that Leon had never seen in the setting book. It was made of stone, metal, lacquered wood and bones. In particular, the stinger was made of a giant's head and metal barbs.

"Tomb Scorpion!" The terrible monster did not scare Tassera, and the blue dragon was now full of excitement.

As a lawful evil chromatic dragon, Tassela didn't care about the bard in the tomb scorpion's claws, but others would not remain indifferent.

Without waiting for Leon to make any move, the barbarian roared and rushed forward in a violent state. The halfling wanderer was looking for opportunities. The black warlock took out an oil lamp and didn't know what to do with it. But in the end, the brass dragon was the fastest and chopped off one of the legs of the tomb scorpion with one sword.

Leon didn't want to rush too far forward, for fear that he would be accidentally hit by the Tomb Scorpion's tail and revealed his original form. He drew out his half-sword and would not take action unless there was a good opportunity.

Tassera originally wanted to stand by and watch, but when she saw Leon took out his weapon, she finally decided to take action. She shot a witchcraft arrow, and a crackling blue energy beam stabbed towards the tomb scorpion, and then formed a continuous arc of electricity between the two.

Everyone worked together and quickly killed the Tomb Scorpion, but the poor bard was still seriously injured and on the verge of death. After he was bandaged and drank several bottles of healing potions, his face finally returned to normal. "We must act together." The brass dragon looked serious. "Just now, Filmer was running around alone and was accidentally attacked by a Tomb Scorpion hiding under the sand."

"You two should act together. I want to act with my brother." Tassela grabbed Leon's hand and said, "Your goal is gold and silver treasures, and our goal is knowledge, not to be on the same side as me."

The blue dragon ignored everyone's ugly expressions and pulled Leon away.

The giant scorpion in the ancient tomb was certainly not the end. Many ancient tomb guards began to crawl out from under the yellow sand, including some mummies and skeletons wearing armor.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

"We're being watched." Tassela suddenly said, "I'm afraid we have to leave. If we don't leave now, a terrible monster will appear."

As soon as the blue dragon finished speaking, a deafening roar sounded.

Leon and Tassera ran out of the mausoleum building and found that the brass dragon had returned to its dragon form and collided head-on with a huge monster with a male head on a lion's body - the male-faced Sphinx.

"I'll hold it off, you guys hurry up." the brass dragon shouted.

Leon found that the male Sphinx didn't seem to care much about the brass dragon. It was always looking at him and Tassera, a monster whose challenge level was comparable to that of an adult red dragon. He decisively activated the gathering and dispersing energy and ran away. When he looked up, he saw that the blue dragon was already ahead of him with a phantom step.

Running and running, getting farther away from the mausoleum, it's almost time to stop. Leon held onto a big rock to catch his breath. His endurance in human form was really poor. At the same time, he was still frightened. As expected, there were still many places he could not set foot in. However, as long as he didn't seek death and was willing to run away when encountering danger, there would be no danger.

"That is a fallen male-faced Sphinx, guarding that tomb." Tassera looked at the pyramid with regret on her face, "We can't get close to that place anymore."

"A male-faced Sphinx..." Leon said and laughed, "Well, even if we recover our dragon forms and attack together, it may still be difficult to defeat."

"The main thing is that I don't know if there are other monsters." Tassera looked at the storm above the mausoleum, which suddenly became violent and the brass dragon was blown all over the place. "I suspect there is a demigod mummy in that mausoleum... If it's not a demigod mummy, it's a similar existence."

Leon shrugged his shoulders. He saw the brass dragon stumble out of the storm and thought it was a good thing that he did not rashly break into the tomb in dragon form.

“What should we do now?” Leon said, “We worked so hard to come here, but now we have to go back like this… Isn’t this a bit anticlimactic?”

"What else?" Tassela asked back.

“I don’t care.” Leon said, “Anyway, you promised that as long as I accompany you out, you will help me make the stone golem… ah, that brass dragon flies over here.”

The wounded brass dragon flew over, and when he saw Leon and Tassera, he panted and made a rumbling sound: "Yes, I am Aegon, the Aegon you know... That is a transformation, this is my true form... The fallen Sphinx is about to catch up, let me take you away."

"The Sphinx's responsibility is to guard the tomb or temple. It will not leave the place it is guarding and chase after you." Tassera is knowledgeable.

The brass dragon was visibly stunned, and tried to argue: "That Sphinx is different... You see I'm covered in wounds, would I lie to you?"

"There's no time to explain. We're leaving... don't resist." The brass dragon said as he stretched out his claws to try to grab Tassera. His idea was simple: to catch the troublesome female mage first.

Leon looked at the brass dragon. He roughly understood what the brass dragon wanted to do, which was to bring them back to the nest and chat with the brass dragon.

Could it be that in this adventure, the tomb of the ancient fallen empire is not the key, but this brass dragon is the highlight?

　The editor suddenly told me that "lying flat" is a taboo word and cannot be searched, so I changed the title of the book. It just so happens that everyone has been complaining that what I wrote is not lying flat, so it's better to change it.
