Chapter 971: Eternal Underground Palace
..
Matthew was not in a hurry to explore.
After activating his domain so many times, he was already familiar with the rules of exploring the domain.
If he had accumulated more exploration opportunities, he might have been able to explore the domain deeper.
In comparison.
A single exploration would be more random, and there might be a lack of room for choice. It would also be impossible to go further and obtain higher results.
Ever since he grasped the authority of a loving father.
Matthew’s desire for authority surpassed his domain ability.
At the same time.
Matthew had specially marked the domain of the grave.Previously, he had obtained information about the Secret Treasure of Life from the Traveler God, and the latter’s coordinates pointed to the mass graves in the Crow Pavilion Demon Territory.
That was Viscount Fan’s territory.
At the same time, it was also the place where Matthew’s dead brother, Orolin, came into contact with when he first entered the Grave Domain.
At that time, Matthew was very curious about Orolin’s identity, although according to the latter, he seemed to be just an ordinary person.
However, Matthew believed that it was impossible for a mortal to survive in such a dangerous place as the Crow Pavilion Demon Domain.
There must be something unique about Olorin.
If possible, Matthew hoped to accumulate more opportunities to explore the Grave Domain to increase the chances of meeting Olorin a second time.
“I’m going to enter the tomb next. As long as I’m a little more diligent, there should be a high probability of triggering the tomb domain again…”
He thought about it.
Matthew took the lead and stepped through the door with a shovel in his hand. The others followed closely behind.
Behind the gate of the underground palace was a long tunnel.
On both sides of the pathway were murals and stone carvings. Most of the paintings were singing praises as if they were recording the great achievements of a certain troll priest.
According to Linden.
The contents of the stone sculpture pointed to the lifetime achievements of a Troll Prince who was stationed in the territory of the elves.
However, even after looking at it for a long time, the others could not see where this achievement was.
After all, the content of the murals was either a group of trolls opening a god meeting.
Or the trolls would drive humans, elves, and other second-class races to work in the wilderness.
Perhaps the trolls would feel a sense of immersion.
However, in the eyes of humans, perhaps the trolls that were remembered were closer to the type of demons and devils, purely negative images.
At the end of the tunnel was a huge stone wall.
The thickness of the stone wall was comparable to the five stone doors outside. The wall spread out to both sides, forming two slanted downward passages.
Matthew threw out a Mage’s Eye to take a look.
The two passages made a 90-degree turn at the end and then headed to the end in a nearly intersecting manner.
In general, it formed a diamond-shaped path.
And in the middle of this diamond was the first chamber on the first floor of the underground palace!
” According to our prior understanding, there are at least three to six chambers on each floor of the Giant Demon Underground Palace. The chambers are relatively safe, but the most dangerous place is the passageway leading to the chamber. There are countless mechanisms buried here…”
Stanley pointed at an inconspicuous corner in front of them and reminded them,
” There’s a dragon fire mechanism there. If we go there rashly, the walls on both sides will shoot out a large amount of fire that will spread like a dragon’s breath and cleanse all life!
“I can try to remove most of the traps, but it will take time.”
Matthew nodded.
He pointed the sharp end of the shovel at the stone wall facing him.
“So the first chamber is behind this, right?”
Stanley gulped.
He already knew what Matthew was going to do next.
“Yes.
“There are no traps or traps in the stone wall, right?”
Matthew asked cautiously.
Stanley shook his head.
” Normal tomb owners wouldn’t set traps in the walls. The Troll Empire was even older, so I don’t think they would be able to guard against this.”
Matthew confirmed with Lorraine again and received his approval.
He revealed a knowing smile again.
“So sometimes, it’s better to be direct.
“If we just move this wall away, won’t the problem be solved?”
As soon as he finished speaking.
He skillfully waved the shovel and began to knock and dig on the stone wall.
The sharpness of the shovel was indeed beyond imagination.
The stone was cut like butter. Matthew didn’t even need to use much strength to cut a small door in the wall.
Immediately after.
He began to spread to the surroundings.
After digging out a space that was almost as spacious as the tunnel, he continued to go deeper.
In less than ten minutes.
Matthew successfully hollowed out the wall. Other than leaving two stone pillars to bear the weight, the rest of the stone was ordered to be moved away by the undeads.
These stones were all good things left behind from the era of the Troll Empire.
Their strength might be average.
However, due to being buried underground for a long time, it was deeply corroded and assimilated by negative energy. It was very suitable for building buildings in the cemetery and strengthening ritual fields related to negative energy.
” Necromancers do have a unique advantage in tomb raiding. If I want, I can even take more people from the cemetery and empty the tomb!
“The labour that the undead, especially the zombies, can provide is really too rare in a tomb-raiding operation…”
Matthew instructed the undead to move the stones while placing a teleportation stone tablet at the entrance of the underground palace.
After some adjustments, he found that due to the green barrier left behind by the elves, the effect of the Teleportation Stone Tablet was not very stable.
