Chapter 36: Mission Appeared, Evil Demon Hunter’s Obsession
“Your order is my life!”
“Where your sword points shall be the direction I will follow!”
The Wolf Cavalry soldiers and Iron Pole tactfully bowed.
The next moment, Zong Shen looked at Tasya. She was expressionless and did not speak.
She seemed to be waiting for something.
Seeing them behave like this, Tasya put a hand on her chest.
She bowed slightly and expressed her stance to Zong Shen.
“I shall follow your will!”
Only then did Zong Shen reveal a faint smile and nod.
“Very good.”
There didn’t seem to be anything worth paying attention to inside the temple after the undead had been defeated.
Except for one thing.
He looked towards the deepest part of the temple.
It was a stone coffin carved with many decapitated devils.
This temple seemed to have been built to worship this coffin.
Zong Shen suddenly thought of the carvings of that great battle he had seen on the limestone floor at the entrance of the temple.
The lone hunter who sat on the edge of a cliff and looked up at the moon.
Could it be that this coffin contained his remains?
Zong Shen swept his gaze over.
A golden guide appeared.
(Beneath the coffin, it was connected to a mysterious dungeon. The soul of an Evil Demon Hunter was waiting for someone who could help him fulfill his obsession.)
When he read the guide, he was disappointed, but also relieved.
With a thought, he dispelled the words of the guide.
“Let’s go. There’s an ancient dungeon hidden under the coffin. Let’s go see if we can find anything.”
Zong Shen pointed at the coffin.
With that, he led the way.
The Wolf Cavalry soldiers and Iron Pole followed suit.
They carefully guarded.
Tasya walked at the back.
She was still expressionless and aloof.
Everyone came before the coffin.
Under Zong Shen’s command, the three Wolf Cavalry soldiers dismounted from their wolves.
They tried to open the heavy coffin lid together.
This coffin lid was extremely heavy.
It was at least a few hundred kilograms.
Fortunately, Zong Shen had sufficient manpower. Otherwise, he might not have been able to move it alone.
Even so, the three Wolf Cavalry soldiers, Zong Shen, and Iron Pole had spent a lot of effort to open the coffin lid.
“Why is this thing so heavy?”
Zong Shen was a little puzzled. This density clearly exceeded that of ordinary stones.
Thinking of this, he could not help but look over.
[Advanced-grade Magic Rune Stone Coffin]
[The entire body is made from advanced-grade Magic Rune Stones]
[Click to Open]
(Magic Rune Stone is a precious magic material. It can be used to cast magic formation, make enchantment items or magic tools.)
(Though this is a little immoral, but pal, this is an advanced-grade Mage Rune Stone. It is very high grade.)
After reading the prompt message, Zong Shen realized that this coffin was actually made of an advanced-grade magic material.
He looked inside the coffin.
However, there was nothing inside.
Nor did he see the entrance to the dungeon.
“Could it be under the coffin?”
Thinking of this, Zong Shen chose [Decomposition].
Instantly, the Magic Rune Stone Coffin turned into a ball of light.
[Obtained Advanced-grade Magic Rune Stone x187]
With a wave of his hand, Zong Shen stored it into the storage compartment.
As expected, once the coffin disappeared, a deep entrance was revealed.
“Lord, let us open a path for you!”
“The giant wolf still has good vision in the dark.”
Colby offered.
The entrance was not too narrow, and was enough to accommodate the size of a giant wolf.
Zong Shen nodded and agreed to Colby’s suggestion.
As such, the three Wolf Cavalry soldiers placed their fingers into their mouths and whistled.
The next moment, the three giant wolves received the command and entered the tunnel.
The three strong Wolf Cavalry soldiers drew their blades and followed closely behind, entering the tunnel.
Only then did Zong Shen follow.
Iron Pole and Tasya walked at the back.
The interior of the tunnel was not as dark and cramped as Zong Shen had imagined.
There was actually another mystery beneath the temple.
Once through the entrance, there was a wide, downward stone staircase at their feet.
It was enough for two Wolf Cavalry soldiers to travel side by side.
When they walked down the stairs, they saw a long corridor.
It was deep, dark, and completely devoid of vision.
However, just as Zong Shen raised his head.
The two sides of the corridor suddenly began to gradually light up.
Miserable white candles began to burn, gradually lighting up from near to far.
The candlelight was not bright.
Instead, it pulsed like a pale white ghost fire, emitting a dim light.
They were like white roses dancing in the dark, strange and beautiful.
“This scene is really scary…”
Although Zong Shen had already dared to touch the dried corpse.
However, he still felt a little uncomfortable coming to such a place.
Zong Shen felt goosebumps all over his arms.
“Who would have thought that after 10,000 years, the first person to step into this place would be a human.”
A voice rang faintly in Zong Shen’s ears.
The strange thing was that his soldiers did not notice at all.
Only Tasya had a strange look in her eyes.
But she also had no reaction.
“Who is it?”
Zong Shen held his shield and turned around.
A gloomy-looking Evil Demon Hunter stood behind him.
Zong Shen was so frightened that he immediately pulled out his German sword and slashed.
However, the sword pierced through the body of the Evil Demon Hunter as if it had pierced through the air.
The Wolf Cavalry soldiers and Iron Pole looked at each other, wondering what had happened.
Zong Shen calmed down instead.
He recalled the Demon Hunter’s soul that was mentioned in the guide when he entered.
“Human, I have already died for over 10,000 years. I have no malice towards you.”
“The only reason I’m still alive is because of my obsession.”
“Are you willing to help me get rid of my obsession and let me sleep in peace?”
The Evil Demon Hunter spoke again.
At the same time.
A system prompt appeared at the same time.
[Evil Demon Hunter Ortland Whisper’s soul sends you a mission invitation.]
[Accept]
[Reject]
(Accept it.)
Zong Shen had no reason to refuse.
A mission meant rewards.
Not to mention that he had advice from the strategy guide.
He chose [Accept].
“I’m willing to help you.”
An innocent smile appeared on the face of the Evil Demon Hunter’s soul.
“Thank you, human friend.”
“My request is simple.”
“My corpse was lost in this dungeon. Back then, the Blood Igniting Fiends who were imprisoned escaped during the chaos.”
“They attacked me and split my body into six parts, throwing it into the dungeon. Please help me find my body and bury it beside the Moon Well.”
“The child of the moon will eventually return to the moon…”
The Evil Demon Hunter spoke slowly.
His figure gradually disappeared.
In front of Zong Shen, the system mission panel and the note from the strategy guide appeared.
(Child of the moon wants to return to his mother’s embrace, please try your best to complete his obsession.)
(There happens to be a Moon Well in your territory. There might be some wonderful changes after completing the mission.)
