Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 208

Chapter 208 Underground Tomb
Just as Xu You said, there’s a clue. Whatever the reason, let’s go over first and see. The two of them began to rush towards the tombstone. Because there were tomb thieves blocking the way, Xu You and Xue Wuhen could only kill a few before they smoothly arrived in front of the tombstone.

The tombstone was five to six meters tall and three meters wide. There were six strong words written on the tombstone: “Tomb of the Dragon Abyss of the Sword Emperor.”

“Sword Emperor Dragon Abyss? Never heard of it.” Xu You muttered.

“Could it be that this is the grave that Master Monica saw?” Xue Wuhen looked at the tombstone and guessed.

“Perhaps, but why is there only one tombstone here? The front and back of the tombstone are all flat stone ground, and there are no traces of excavation. So, where is the Sword Emperor Dragon Abyss buried?” Xu You walked around the tombstone and said.

“I don’t know, we have a clue. It’s up to you now.” Xue Wuhen seemed to be still angry at Xu You’s nonsense just now.

“Alright, just look at me.” Xu You smiled and said. Then, he began to carefully observe the tombstone. He touched it with his hand and kicked it with his foot. He acted like an archaeologist while Xue Wuhen looked at Xu You curiously from the side.

However, Xu You massaged the tombstone for ten minutes. He touched all four sides of the tombstone and found nothing. Then, he looked up at the tombstone and found no concave or convex parts of the mechanism. Actually, the rectangular tombstone was flat except for a few words.

“Could it be that this tombstone is just a tombstone?” Xu You pondered for a while before raising his head to look at the top of the tombstone. Unfortunately, his height was limited and there weren’t many places he could touch. He didn’t know if there was anything strange on the top of the tombstone. If only he could climb up, huh? Climb up?

Xu You suddenly remembered that he had bought a few skill books from the quartermaster and learned a few skills, one of which was called “climbing”.

Thinking of this, Xu You immediately took a few steps back and observed the words “Sword Emperor’s Dragon Abyss Tomb” from bottom to top. He found that these words were big enough, concave and deep. Most importantly, there were many “horizontal” strokes. If he used these strokes as ladders, it wouldn’t be a problem to climb up.

Xu You immediately tried to climb to the top of the tombstone, but Xue Wuhen was stunned.

“Youyou, what are you doing?”

“Climb the tombstone!”

“How is that possible? Other than some ordinary trees, this game doesn’t allow you to climb anywhere else.” Xue Wuhen had once tried climbing some walls. If she could climb over them, she wouldn’t have to take a detour along the road to save a lot of time. Unfortunately, the system had prompted that she couldn’t climb at the beginning. Unless she could climb any of the trees on the side of the road, climbing those trees was meaningless.

“Hey, just because you can’t climb doesn’t mean I can’t.” Xu You grabbed the word “big” in the middle of the word “tomb” and used his hand as hard as he could to use the tombstone as a “ladder” and slowly climb up.

At first, Xue Wuhen did not believe that Xu You could do it, but a few seconds later, Xu You had already left the ground and climbed to the word “zhi”. Seeing this, Xue Wuhen couldn’t help but exclaim, “How is this possible!”

However, Xu You proved that this was possible. Apart from the word “abyss”, which was a little difficult to climb, there were enough “horizontal” strokes for Xu You to climb. Not long after, Xu You had already climbed to the top of the tombstone.

Looking at Xu You sitting on the top of the tombstone, Xue Wuhen’s expression was like seeing a ghost in the daytime. After she woke up, she wanted to learn from Xu You and climb up using the words on the tombstone. Unfortunately, when she wanted to use her strength to climb up, the system reminded her that she could not climb up again.

“This isn’t fair. Why can you climb up? I can’t?” Xue Wuhen stomped his foot and said discontentedly.

“Who told you not to go to the quartermaster? After Level 30, there are quite a few skill books there.” Xu You smiled and then turned to look at the small protruding square beside him. The secret was indeed on the top of the tombstone!

“Eh? Quartermaster?” After Xu You said this, Xue Wuhen suddenly came to a realization.

After Xu You answered Xue Wuhen’s question, He turned his gaze to the small square. After thinking for a while, he placed his palm on the small cube and forcefully pressed it. He did not move. Obviously, this was not a button. Since that was the case, then turn it. Xu You exerted strength on his wrist and tried to turn the small cube clockwise. Unfortunately, he still could not turn it. So, he pressed the counterclockwise again. This time, the small cube finally moved, and turned 90 degrees.

After the small cube finished turning, the ground around the tombstone began to tremble, and the tremor was quite large. Xu You, who was sitting on the top of the tombstone, fell off the tombstone unprepared for a moment.

“Ah! Wuhen, Wuhen, catch me!” Xu You, who had a fear of heights, cried out in horror as soon as he lost his weight.

Unfortunately, when Xue Wuhen looked up and saw Xu You fall down, he was like a frightened rabbit. He subconsciously dodged to the side. As a result, Xu You fell to the sky. Fortunately, he had the passive skill of “Safe Landing”. Xu You fell without any damage.

However, he wasn’t hurt, but his heart was hurt. Xu You looked at Xue Wuhen resentfully and said, “Wuhen, you’re too cruel. How can you just watch me fall like this?”

“Cough cough, stop pretending to be pitiful. Get up quickly, there’s an underground passage over there.” Xue Wuhen’s face was a little red. She was a little unkind just now, but she was a weak woman. What could she do if she encountered such a situation?

“Oh.” Seeing that Xue Wuhen didn’t suffer any hardship, Xu You was helpless. However, after hearing Xue Wuhen’s words, he immediately got up and looked in the direction Xue Wuhen had indicated. Indeed, an underground passage had appeared. It was 15 meters in front of the tombstone.

“Hehe, it’s another underground passageway. There should be something good this time.” Xu You was very happy about this. Normally speaking, tunneling was equivalent to concealing a mission. His mission was coming soon!

“What do you mean, an underground passageway? Have you been there before?”

“Haha, I went to an underground labyrinth to open the Reputation Rankings. Our first blue ring was obtained in the underground labyrinth.” Xu You said with a smile.

“Then have you received the mission of the Dragon Fang Fragment?” Xue Wuhen asked again.

“Not yet, but I have a premonition that this underground passageway is related to the Dragon Fang fragment!” Xu You shook his head. Actually, he hadn’t received any missions after coming to Sahaz for so long.

“Since that’s the case, let’s go in.” After saying that, Xue Wuhen wanted to enter the underground passageway.

However, Xu You shouted, “Wait a moment.” Then, under Xue Wuhen’s puzzled gaze, he built a bonfire. Then, he took out a torch from the bonfire and signaled for Xue Wuhen to leave.

Seeing this, Xue Wuhen also came back and took one. Then, he walked down the underground passage with Xu You. This underground passage extended straight underground, and it was dark. It was not like the tunnel in the Anluo Ruins. There were lights beside it. If Xu You hadn’t been thoughtful, the two of them would have walked forward in the dark.

After walking for several dozen meters, the tunnel reached its end. There was also a stone door at the end, but Xu You was not an orc warrior. He quickly found a way to open the door. It was actually very simple. He pushed it open …

After entering, Xu You finally knew where this place was. There were rows of coffins in the dark underground cave in front of him. It was obviously someone’s underground tomb. Could this be the place where the Sword Emperor Dragon Abyss was buried?

“There seems to be no monster here?” The underground tomb wasn’t that big, and he finished looking at it with a single glance, but Xu You didn’t see any monsters.

“It’s good that we don’t have any. If there’s a monster in this kind of hidden scene, it will definitely be difficult to deal with. Don’t forget that our Level 60 is a disguise. Our strength is only Level 30.” Xue Wuhen said.

“That’s right. Let’s go. Let’s find out if there are any clues about the Dragon Fang fragment. At least we’ve activated the mission.”

“Yes.”

Actually, from the looks of it, apart from the coffins, there was nothing else here. Fortunately, Xue Wuhen was an old player who had seen storms before. He wasn’t afraid of such a horrible scene. If it was Qingwu Zhao Xi and the other girls who came over, Xu You would be the only one who could do this mission.

Xu You was even more accustomed to seeing such scenes. He skillfully opened coffins one after another, trying to find something. Even if it was a monster, it would be good. However, these coffins were actually empty. Xu You flipped through more than ten coffins in a row without anything.

On the contrary, Xue Wuhen dug out some materials from a coffin, such as Secret Silver Ore, Tears of Sahaz (a Level 40 herb), and so on. However, these materials were of little use.

“Do you want these materials?” Xue Wuhen found a lot of materials and asked Xu You.

“No, aren’t you a jewelry sideline? These materials should be useful. Take them.” Xu You shook his head.

“Yes, I’ll keep it for myself.”

“Is there nothing else in this coffin other than these materials?” Xu You rubbed his chin and looked at the coffins in front of him.

“My coffin looks like this. What about yours?” Xue Wuhen and Xu You were separated to one side.

“I don’t have anything on my side. Faint, it’s good to have some equipment.”

“In that case, this tomb seems to have nothing but a coffin. Is this place really related to the Dragon Fang fragment?” Xue Wuhen asked again.

‘”It shouldn’t be wrong. We have searched all the areas nearby. There is no clue that the mission of the Dragon Fang Fragment is not on the ground. If it isn’t on the ground, it should be underground. It shouldn’t be in the air, right? Besides, the appearance of this underground tomb confirms my conjecture.”

“But Master Monica didn’t say that she found the Dragon Fang fragment in the underground tomb. Otherwise, she would have remembered it.” Xue Wuhen had a different opinion.

‘”Yes, what you said makes sense. However, it was many years ago when Master Monica came here. No one knows what has changed here. According to me, there are other mechanisms in this tomb, but we didn’t discover them. Doing hidden missions requires patience and sometimes even a little bit of luck!” After saying that, Xu You took out the Holy Light Hammer and smashed it against the wall in front of him.
