Monster collectors on the cross-platform

After walking for a short while, after turning a corner, a large stone gate suddenly appeared in front of Huo Huan.

Huo scratched his head, puzzled as to why a stone gate had appeared here and hadn't been discovered by the players yet.

But since we're already here, we should at least see what's inside. Even if it's a trap, Huo is confident he can overcome it.

With his hands on the stone door, Huo pushed it inward with all his might.

A pale blue light flashed across the stone gate, but Huo Huan's immense strength failed to push it open.

"Interesting." Looking at the magic circle that appeared on the stone gate, Huo knew that he had encountered a magic lock.

It's a pity there are no thieves or mages in my party, otherwise this kind of magic lock would be easy to deal with.

Lacking conventional methods, Huo could only attempt a frontal blast.

With his feet firmly planted and fists clenched, Huo took a deep breath and suddenly exerted force throughout his body.

A huge sonic boom resounded from the stone door, and the originally light blue magic lock began to flash wildly. However, Huo Huan's attack did not stop there. As Huo Huan unleashed his attack, the four elemental energies began to erode the stone door.

After flashing for a moment, the magic lock returned to silence. Although it was difficult, it ultimately blocked Huo Huan's full-force attack, but the magic array's energy was also mostly depleted.

For Huo Huan, this was just an ordinary punch. If one punch wasn't enough, he would throw another.

With another loud "thud," the magic lock on the stone door finally failed to withstand Huo Huan's heavy blow, and fell silent after a flash.

Seeing the magic lock on the stone door break, Huo pushed hard, and the heavy stone door was pushed open.

Upon entering the stone gate, one is greeted by a space resembling a living room, with a stone table and chairs placed in the center.

There seemed to be other things besides these, but most of them had faded with time and turned into a pile of ashes on the ground.

Entering the living room, which was completely visible at a glance, Huo didn't find anything noteworthy and continued walking inside.

The secret house has a limited number of rooms, and the air is not stuffy, suggesting that it has adequate ventilation.

Soon, Huo had looked through all the rooms, but found nothing except for some stone furniture.

It seems that everything else has either been taken away by our predecessors or has been completely weathered away.

Huo was somewhat skeptical about this.

The magic lock on the stone door was intact, and there was no sign of anyone entering. Since everything inside had weathered away, why was the magic lock still there?

Over such a long period of time, the furniture inside had all weathered away, but the magic lock still had energy, and Huo still felt there was a sense of something being covered up.

Undeterred, Huo continued searching the room, using his sense of the earth to look for anything suspicious.

Upon investigation, Huo discovered something suspicious. Since the remaining items in the room were all made of stone, Huo, who had an affinity for earth elements, was able to detect anomalies more easily.

Soon, Huo discovered an unactivated teleportation array on the back of a stone bed.

Perhaps because it wasn't activated, the fluctuations emitted by this teleportation array were quite weak. If Huo hadn't been sensing it carefully, he might not have been able to detect it.

After turning the entire stone bed over, a portal engraved on the back of the stone bed appeared before Huo Huan's eyes.

Looking at the teleportation array in front of him, Huo stroked his chin and began to think.

Huo Huan now has two choices. The first is to activate the teleportation array and go see what's going on over there. It could be a trap, but it could also be an opportunity.

Another option is to take the stone bed back and sell it to other players. Surely some players will be interested, and you might even be able to get a high price for it.

After thinking for a while, Huo Huan directly injected energy to activate the teleportation array. Huo Huan didn't lack Zongwang coins for the time being, and since there was a possibility of an opportunity, Huo Huan wouldn't let it go. At worst, he would just lose his life.

Thinking of the life pod buried deep underground, Huo felt relieved and activated the teleportation array without hesitation.

The teleportation array emitted a deep blue light that enveloped Huo Huan and the other two. The next second, the three disappeared from the room.

At the same time, in the same secret room, Huo and his two companions suddenly appeared.

Compared to the smooth teleportation portals on the network, this teleportation array felt like being thrown into a washing machine – incredibly uncomfortable.

However, this wasn't the time to complain about the poor experience of the teleportation array. After quickly adjusting his state, Huo immediately began to look around.

The furniture was still made of stone, seemingly unchanged from before, as if Huo hadn't activated any teleportation array and had remained stationary.

Chapter 138 The Evil God Priest

Huo was not fooled by such a simple trick. Putting aside everything else, the traces that Huo and his men had just left behind have now completely disappeared.

So it must have moved to a different location. As for why it's exactly the same, you'd have to ask the homeowner.

Huo pushed open the door to a bedroom, and the room was no longer empty; instead, there was a coffin inside.

Is this a lich?

Looking at the coffin in the room, Huo hesitated, unsure of the strength of the lich inside. What if it was a legendary lich? It would be difficult to deal with.

But then he thought about it again and realized that he still had anti-magic rays, which made Huo feel much more at ease.

The stone coffin wasn't marked with any magic circles; it seemed to be just an ordinary coffin. But Huo didn't care whether it was ordinary or not. He simply reached out and lifted the heavy stone coffin lid.

To Huo Huan's surprise, there was no lich inside, only a set of mage equipment, and it was even purple-grade.

Could this be a storage location for the Lich's Soul Box?

Looking at the equipment and items inside the stone coffin, it was clear that they were prepared for resurrection.

Huo searched through the pile of things and, sure enough, found a lich's soul box.

Name: Soul Chest (Purple)

Type: Resurrection Item

Weight: 5 kg

Effect: Resurrection

Description: This is the soul box of a certain unlucky lich, which can be used to resurrect the lich after his death.

Looking at the unremarkable soul box in his hand, he realized that the stone coffin in front of him was indeed the resurrection site of some lich.

Realizing this, Huo quickly stuffed everything into his spatial backpack.

The enemy's situation is currently unclear, and we don't know exactly how strong they are. To be on the safe side, it's best to leave first.

After collecting everything, the three of them immediately took the teleportation array again and left the cemetery.

Without any major incidents, Huo and his companions successfully left the gate, closed the stone door, and plunged into the depths of the dark region.

This unfortunate lich will probably never find his soul box again. The soul box is now in Huo Huan's spatial backpack, and he has completely lost contact with it.

Once Huo returns to the online platform and sells it, the lich will have even less chance of finding its soul box.

Huo was in a good mood after making a fortune out of nowhere. Not counting the value of the Soul Box, the spare equipment left by the lich alone was worth a considerable amount of Zongwang coins.

With this unexpected gain, Huo became even more interested in the Underdark. Last time he came here, he encountered a black dragon, and this time he came here and encountered a lich's resurrection point. Could it be that the Underdark is lucky for me?

Not long after they left, the fungi sent a different message on the fungal communicator: there seemed to be a large lake ahead.

In the Darklands, there are quite a few underground rivers, but very few lakes.

With this thought in mind, Huo quickened his pace, hoping to find some worthwhile finds by the lake.

After traveling for a short while and turning a few corners, a dark and deep lake came into Huo Huan's view.

There were some small, unidentified monsters drinking water by the lake, so it seemed that there wasn't much of a threat in the lake.

Just as Huo was thinking this, a commotion arose on the other side of the lake.

Huo looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large group of fishmen gathered together, holding homemade harpoons and doing something unknown.

"Let's go take a look," Huo said to the two women before walking over first.

"Ouch~~~" As he got closer, all sorts of chaotic fish-man cries filled Huo Huan's ears.

Even when Huo Huan approached, the fishmen did not notice him, or rather, they ignored him.

A large group of merfolk were seen raising harpoons, jumping and shouting at a statue covered in seaweed. In front of the statue, an old merfolk holding a scepter was muttering something.

Huo didn't understand the fish-man language and couldn't understand what they were saying, but judging from their behavior, Huo thought it was very likely a ritual.

As for who was being worshipped, that was beyond Huo Huan's knowledge.

Should we strike first?

The thought only existed in Huo Huan's mind for a moment before he immediately decided to take action.

I came to the Underdark to hunt, and with prey right in front of me, there's no reason for me to give up.

The next second, countless spikes suddenly sprang up from the ground, skewering the jumping and screaming fishmen into meat skewers.

"Wah la la~!" The old merman standing in front of the statue glared angrily at Huo Huan, pointing his scepter at him.

The next instant, a beam of dark light shot out from the stone statue.

The light was so fast that Huo Huan didn't even have time to react. The light was thick and covered most of Huo Huan's body.

When the light faded, all that remained of Huo was a head and a right arm.

However, this injury was nothing to Huo Huan. With the surge of life energy within his body, Huo Huan's body was completely repaired in the blink of an eye, and even his battle suit absorbed a lot of life energy to be repaired.

"Wow~" The old fishman was still a little confused when he saw Huo unharmed. In his not-so-long life, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

In the past, whenever the statue of a god shot out this beam of light, no matter how powerful the enemy was, they would immediately die under the power of the light.

This time, however, the light seems to have failed. Could it be the gods...?

Dispelling any disrespectful thoughts about the gods from his mind, the old fishman brandished his scepter and pointed it at Huo Huan once more.

However, Huo was prepared this time. Although the light was fast, the old fishman's movements were completely predictable. He easily dodged the black ray by gently shifting to the side.

Taking a beating passively is not Huo Huan's style. The next second, blood mist began to swirl around Huo Huan as he charged towards the old fishman.

The old murloc remained calm and waved his scepter again, but this time the beam of light was no longer aimed at Huo Huan, but at the murlocs impaled on the spikes.

Whether they were seriously injured but not dead, or died on the spikes, all of these fishmen underwent a transformation under the light emitted by the statue.

His original height of about 1 meter expanded rapidly, and in just 1 or 2 seconds he became a strong man over 2 meters tall.

His eyes were no longer as they usually were; instead, they were filled with a jet-black color.

"Roar!" The mutated fish-men crushed the earth spikes and stood up.

Huo frowned. It seemed that these fishmen were definitely worshipping an evil god, but he didn't know which evil god it was, or perhaps it was some kind of hellish duke or demon.

However, a fishman is still just a fishman, and even with the blessing of some kind of power, he is still no match for Huo Huan in terms of strength.
