Chapter 211: Deeper Lairs
The underground catacombs were supported by a large number of circular pillars.
The number of corpses piled up underneath this was far greater than Han Dong had ever imagined, far more than the black-haired cultivation room underneath the stone well.
The stone walls of the catacombs were designed as a kind of precision shelf structure spaced at layers, with densely packed skulls and skulls placed on top.
Such "skull walls" were a sign of the underground catacombs, stretching down almost indefinitely, in such numbers that Han Dong could not explain them.
"Even if we encourage procreation no matter what.
No matter how much you prey on the tourists heading to the manor.
There's no way to create so many skulls, right?
If you can't figure out exactly where such a large number of remains came from, you may fall into unexpected and dangerous situations at a later stage of your exploration of the manor, try to find out the results from this vigil.
The source of the large number of remains may be directly related to this graveyard."
The intensity of the contamination in the catacombs naturally went without saying.
In addition to the white mist that diffused between the floors, the skulls embedded between the walls would sometimes emerge from the eye holes with a dark green and suction cup tentacle.
Such an image would cause pollution damage to the vision.
Abel dangles a unique coat of white fur.
Night Watchman Jon deliberately looked back.
This white fur coat looked ordinary.
In reality, it was made from the skin of a certain foreign demon, a high-quality material obtained after being purified several times by the Church.
Afterwards, through the high-level tailors and stitchers in the Holy City, it was made into this fur coat, which could greatly resist the invasion of pollution and also stimulate Abel's bestial nature.
Naturally, there was no need to say anything about the value.
It was obviously given by Captain Kemun.
However, what shocked Jon even more was another person, and it was the same Raven Boy who had inspired the mission.
Whether it was setting foot in the graveyard or going deeper into the catacombs.
This young man merely wore a raven mask and remained unaffected the entire time.
It was at this moment that a question came out from beneath the raven mask, "Knight Jon, the underground catacombs should be an important part of the Great Manor's underground system, right?"
"You know the underground system?"
Jon was a little surprised that this could be part of the key to this training.
Only after deep exploration could it be deduced that there was a subterranean system under the manor that had been constructed by the Great Lord Stuart at great expense of manpower and resources.
It was also an important place where evil consequences were brewing.
Han Dong nodded and replied, "Well, one of the basic tasks we are performing today is to design the underground area.
Moreover, we have been in positive contact with a family officer and can probably deduce that the entire estate corresponds to a responsible and massive underground system."
"Indeed, it's just that I can't go into the specifics of the information, so you need to explore it on your own."
"Hmm."
Continue deeper.
The structure of the underground catacombs was quite complex, even comparable to a maze, and there were multiple forks inside that could lead to different areas.
However, the overall structure was the same, and no matter where you went, you couldn't avoid walls studded with skulls, However, Han Dong's insight into details allowed him to discover one anomaly.
That was the slope problem.
From the moment he entered the catacombs, his own party was going downwards.
The floor of the catacombs had a slope of between three degrees and five degrees.
Another strange thing was that Han Dong did not find any signs of ghoul activity in the underground catacombs.
"Where is the vigil taking place?" Han Dong asked a question.
"Deeper, ten hours ago, when a team went deeper into the tomb for this mission to find the skull, they accidentally opened a secret passage deeper in the tomb that led to a deeper place.
They thought that the skull they needed to find for the mission would exist deeper.
In the process of rushing deeper, they triggered a certain "dead spot" and caused a large amount of contamination to spill out."
"More down there?"
Led by Knight Jon to a certain enclosed stone room in the cemetery.
While moving a certain particular skull.
Boom!
A square coffin placed in the center opened by itself, revealing a ladder covered with plaque and a foul smell that continued to spill out.
"Next, we will officially enter the vigil phase of work, let me explain the basic requirements for you.
There is currently more than one 'dead spot' that has been detected with high levels of contamination erupting, and there are currently eight-night watchmen down there exploring to see if there are any spots that have been missed.
We will also be involved.
There is a chance that we may disturb the large population of ghouls residing in the interior, or even encounter some of the higher aberrations and leaders.
The requirements for the Night's Watch are.
1. Assist in killing 30 ghouls, a leader, or a mutant ghoul.
2. Make a strong argument for leaking contaminated "dead spots" to find them.
The matter of killing the ghouls will only count if you inflict fatal wounds on the ghouls, but any ghouls killed directly by me will not be counted in your kill count."
There was naturally no need to say how difficult it was.
Divided by strength, it was nearly impossible for a freshman to deal with an adult ghoul.
Just like when Han Dong had first met Cass, it took a lot of effort to slay an adult ghoul.
This place was assisted by Knight Jon though.
But ghouls were inherently a group based on numbers, and once they were under siege, Jon wouldn't be able to take care of the safety issues of the two of them.
That was why, Knight Jon looked so distressed when he found out that it was Abel who started the mission.
Deep into such a massive ghoul lair, plus having an unusually large amount of contamination leaking out, could kill you if you weren't careful.
"Do you guys have any questions?"
"No."
"Follow me down if there's nothing wrong, remember! Be sure to stay close to me, for if some force separates you from me, you will die down there.
Put away your kerosene lamps and activate your night vision or put on your "night vision goggles", ghouls are very sensitive to fire."
Saying so, the Knight Jon also showed some of his skills.
Cheetah.
As a veteran of the Knights of Behemoth, Jon, who majored in control, was born with some ties to cheetahs.
Some leopard stripes and claws showed up, and an invisible killing intent was released.
"Let me remind you, this ghoul lair down here, after our knight group's investigation, after more than two hundred years of development plus the peculiarities of the cemetery, it already has the signs of developing into a "ghoul kingdom"."
"The Ghoul Kingdom?" Abel was shocked, a drop of cold sweat dripping from his forehead
It was then that Han Dong suggested, "Abel you must follow the Knight Jon, I'll take charge of the temple. Whether it's plague or pollution, I'm just right for it."
"Okay."
With Han Dong staying at the tail end of the squad.
Stepping down the steps attached to the plague was exactly when to go deeper into this lair.
Buzz!
Han Dong's right arm trembled with resonance.
