Chapter 341: Outskirts of the Tomb
"call!"
Wang Chen let out a long sigh, looking at the bodies of the blue-clothed men on the ground, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Finally, these useless guys have been dealt with. Now I can enter the tomb and explore it with peace of mind."
He turned around and signaled to the two younger brothers behind him: "Let's go."
Then he led them towards the tomb gate.
Along the way, Wang Chen remained alert, but his eyes could not hide his excitement.
After all, this mysterious tomb has always been a place he dreamed of exploring.
When he reached the door of the tomb, Wang Chen stopped, closed his eyes, concentrated his mind and used his super powers to perceive the surrounding environment.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Such a powerful ghost energy fluctuation!" Wang Chen exclaimed in a low voice.
"This level is far greater than the ghost zone we have passed through before."
He secretly thought that if he could go deeper into the tomb, he might get more unexpected gains.
Especially for his crystal lamp fire spirit, the rich ghost energy contained here is undoubtedly a great opportunity for improvement, and maybe it can be used to break through the current bottleneck.
Thinking of this, Wang Chen made up his mind and led his two younger brothers and his elf into the entrance of the tomb without hesitation.
However, as soon as I stepped into the tomb, a pungent stench of decay came over me like a tide.
Wang Chen frowned and quickly mobilized his superpowers to form a protective shield to cover himself and others.
Carter and Camus also hurriedly put on special masks to resist the invasion of the stench.
Despite this, the three of them still felt dizzy and almost vomited.
Fortunately, Wang Chen calmed his mind in time, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and gradually adapted to this harsh environment.
He calmed himself down and continued to move forward, looking forward to the challenges and opportunities he would encounter next.
Wang Chen walked while connecting with Slowpoke's super powers, constantly sensing his surroundings.
With the help of his super powers, Wang Chen roughly guessed what the tomb was like.
"So that's how it is. This tomb was built into a huge underground palace. Even if its area is not as large as the various areas outside, it is not much smaller." Wang Chen said lightly.
As the three continued to move forward, the ghost energy around them became increasingly dense.
This made the crystal lamp spirit feel extremely comfortable, so comfortable that it wanted to moan.
The other elves were in a slightly worse situation, but after all, their level had reached this level and they could withstand the erosion of the rich ghost energy.
At this moment, a sinister and creepy laugh suddenly came into the ears of Wang Chen and the other three.
The laughter was as erratic as a ghost, as if it came from the underworld or the abyss of Hell.
Wang Chen's heart tightened, and he immediately realized that there must be powerful ghost elves hiding nearby, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
With a cold gaze, he gave an order to the Crystal Lamp Spirit beside him in a low voice: "Crystal Lamp Spirit, it's up to you now! Find these ghost-type elves lurking nearby and destroy them in one fell swoop!"
After receiving the order from its master, the crystal lamp spirit did not dare to delay and immediately focused on sensing the movements around it.
After a moment, a cunning light flashed in its eyes, and then five black energy balls shot out like cannonballs.
These shadow balls were extremely fast and hit the target accurately. The five Gengars, who were hiding themselves, were caught off guard and revealed their figures in a miserable state.
"They are actually five late-stage King-level Gengars? Ordinary late-stage King-level Pokémon may not be your match, but my Crystal Lamp Spirit is different!" Wang Chen's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile.
Before he finished speaking, Wang Chen's crystal lamp spirit launched a fierce attack on the five Gengars of the same level as himself without hesitation.
Despite being outnumbered, the Crystal Lamp Spirit showed no fear. With its superb fighting skills and powerful strength, it always maintained an overwhelming advantage, forcing the five Gengars to only defend themselves and not be able to fight back.
Not long after, the five Gengars were beaten by the Crystal Lamp Spirit and lost their ability to fight.
Wang Chen wanted to throw Poké Balls to capture them, but these Pokémons quickly dissipated and died completely.
"Hmm? Something's wrong! A late-stage King-level Gengar shouldn't be this fragile. It seems the ghost-type Pokémon in this tomb are different from those outside after all.
This place seems even more bizarre now, and we must be more vigilant on the journey ahead." Wang Chen said calmly.
"Lord Wang Chen, this situation is indeed possible inside the tomb. The ghost elves used to protect the tomb owner cannot be subdued. Forcibly subduing them will only cause the ghost elves to commit suicide." Carter explained.
As a veteran tomb robber, Carter was well aware of the series of strange things that happened in the tomb.
After listening to Carter's explanation, Wang Chen nodded. It was pretty much the same as his own guess.
Afterwards, the three people led by Wang Chen continued to go deeper into the tomb, but they did not encounter any powerful ghost elves along the way.
However, not long after they walked, they encountered a wall in front of them, blocking the three of them from moving forward.
"Carter, given your knowledge of various tombs, how should you deal with this situation? If you can't break this wall, then I can only order the elves to use their power to break it open by force." Wang Chen said.
"Master Wang Chen, please forgive me for being blunt, but walls like this should not be destroyed by force, otherwise it is very likely to trigger violent behavior from all the ghost-type elves guarding the tomb.
It is true that you are extremely powerful, but if all the ghost-type elves in the tomb attack you together, then the consequences will be..." Carter responded in a serious tone.
Carter hadn't finished speaking, but Wang Chen understood the deep meaning behind his words - to put it bluntly, this wall must not be easily broken.
Carter then added: "Lord Wang Chen, please be patient! This kind of situation is not uncommon when I was robbing ancient tombs in the past, and I am familiar with handling it."
Wang Chen nodded slightly to show his approval, secretly looking forward to what amazing moves Carter, the experienced tomb robber, would perform.
As expected, Carter did not disappoint. He raised his wrist and skillfully took out all the items from the mysterious space watch: an old wooden table, an exquisite incense burner, a few swaying red candles and several yellowed talismans.
After everything was in place, Carter first lit three incense sticks, and wisps of smoke rose up and filled the air; then, he dipped some cinnabar paint with his fingertips and carefully outlined a group of strange symbols on his palms and cheeks, like ghostly graffiti.
After completing this series of strange actions, Carter finally stood up, holding the talismans tightly in both hands, and muttering something.
As the sound of deep incantations rang out, he actually began to perform a strange and peculiar dance in front of the table filled with magical instruments—it was like a sorcery prayer or a mad dance...
