"Let's go in."
Xiao Xun put away his thoughts, put away the map, and walked inside.
"Wait, Your Majesty Swain!"
Sasha quickly stopped him, "There's something strange!"
Xiao Xun glanced at him.
"Think about it, how could such a powerful weapon be obtained so easily?"
Sasha cautioned with a serious expression, "Based on my years of experience, the more powerful the treasure, the stronger its guardian!"
Xiao Xun said expressionlessly, "I know, in fact, I've already sensed that chilling demonic aura."
With that, he stepped inside.
He was getting a little impatient.
Bai Yang remained silent. In his impression, Xiao Xun had never made a mistake.
Sasha hesitated, "I won't go in. I'll keep watch outside for you."
Bai Yang turned to look at him, but after hearing this, Xiao Xun turned back, "No problem, as long as you're not afraid of danger."
Sasha nodded, but thought to himself: Even a fool could tell this cave was filled with strangeness, it's better to stay outside.
The trolls and ogres who had followed him expressed their agreement.
Xiao Xun turned and went in. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
The cave was not large. Although the walls were a strange green, it was still better than the blizzard outside.
They walked down the path and found that it became brighter the further down they went.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that the source of this green light was crystals embedded in the glacier.
At this moment, a faint, ethereal voice came from ahead...
"Weak humans, leave here quickly. In this forgotten catacomb, only darkness and death await you!"
Xiao Xun acted as if he hadn't heard it and continued to descend. With his current strength, as long as the other party was not a high-dimensional being, they would all be no match for him.
Before long, the owner of the voice appeared before them.
This thing resembled a creature composed of pure elements, without a physical form, only a few floating pieces of armor and a staff to show that this mass of light blue mist was not an illusion, but a special kind of life.
Behind these guardians was a magnificent pedestal, and on it, a huge block of ice.
Inside the ice was a giant, dark green sword.
Xiao Xun knew this must be the legendary artifact, the King's Star. Even from such a distance, he could feel the call from his soul.
"Leave, mortal, this is a cursed weapon..."
The voice appeared again, and at the top of the armor, a pair of blue luminous orbs were facing Xiao Xun, like a pair of glowing eyes, "If you take it, you will be cursed for eternity."
Xiao Xun withdrew his gaze from the King's Star and looked at the phantom before him.
"Thank you."
This seemingly illogical conversation astonished Bai Yang and Tian Xie beside him.
The phantom's voice was ethereal and extremely slow, "It is stained with the aura of demons. Whoever wields it will have their mind controlled, becoming a walking dead, a slave..."
"Child, hurry and leave, it does not belong to you..."
Xiao Xun gripped the sword hilt, and the giant ice block instantly shattered, the sword body showing faint cracks.
*Bang—*
The giant sword actually shattered instantly, revealing its true form, a sharp long sword, shining brilliantly in the dim cave.
Xiao Xun looked at Bai Yang and Tian Xie behind him and nodded, "Alright, let's head back."
The King's Star was a sword cursed by the King of Pride. Whoever wielded it would become the eternal slave of the King of Pride. Once, someone had even disfigured himself to escape the King of Pride's control.
Bai Yang trotted over. Seeing that Xiao Xun seemed to have obtained what he wanted, he asked, "Your Highness, shall we return immediately?"
"It's too late."
Xiao Xun turned his head. The sun was already very close to the horizon when they arrived. Since it was almost impossible for it to set, this degree was already considered night.
It was with this in mind that Xiao Xun made his decision: "The soldiers have traveled all day and need to rest. It's very unsafe in the wilderness at night with undead roaming."
"I've made arrangements at the camp, there won't be any problems. We'll rest here in this cave for the night and depart tomorrow morning."
"Understood, sir!" Bai Yang nodded, then went down to arrange for the soldiers to rest here.
Although the cave was not large, the number of people they brought was not many. They had brought some supplies, which were more than enough for one night.
But at this moment, gunshots were heard from outside.
"What's going on?" He rushed out and found Bai Yang, "Why are we under attack?"
"Your Highness, it's the undead!" Bai Yang said with a grim expression, looking at the situation outside, "A ghoul just charged at us, and we've already killed it. I estimate that more undead will be charging in soon!"
"Is that so..."
Seeing the situation, Xiao Xun smiled slightly, "Just got the King's Star, and now I get such a good opportunity for practice..."
Bai Yang was stunned, and then he saw in the distant mist, densely packed skeletons, zombies, and ghouls crawling towards them.
"It's time for a warm-up." Xiao Xun said with a smile, then walked forward.
On the vast snowy ground, only his figure faced the endless army of the undead.
He took a step forward, the King's Star held behind him.
Before him, there were seemingly endless undead!
Bai Yang felt as if the cold wind of Pappol suddenly changed direction, as if drawn by some call, swirling around Xiao Xun.
He made this judgment because all the mist in this area was revolving around Xiao Xun, as if Xiao Xun was currently in the eye of a storm!
Then, Xiao Xun swung his sword!
This sword was heaven-splitting and earth-cleaving!
It was like a thin line cutting through the sky, and the undead before him retreated, even flying uncontrollably into the air, then torn to shreds by the powerful airflow. Even the mist in the distance was completely split open by this strike, revealing more undead hidden behind it!
Xiao Xun stood there holding his sword, panting heavily, and felt very satisfied with the results of his attack.
In reality, the efficiency of this move was not high. Most of the power missed, or hit the mountain walls on either side, and was not entirely used to inflict damage on the undead.
But Xiao Xun was happy nonetheless!
And at this moment, more undead pounced.
After all, they had no intelligence and were not intimidated by this move!
Xiao Xun was completely unfazed, letting them surround him. They were just cannon fodder, after all.
He casually swung his left hand a couple of times, and two more zombies were cut in half.
"Truly a divine weapon."
At the same time, Bai Yang shouted from behind, "Soldiers, raise your shields and defend!"
The twenty soldiers they had brought were all fearless vanguard veterans with ample combat experience. They reacted swiftly and possessed superior combat power, easily blocking the horde of zombies and ghouls.
"Trolls, pick up your weapons and smash them!"
From behind, the troll leader Sasha roared strange notes, encouraging his trolls to attack.
