Soon, those bones that had turned to powder began to glow with a dark blue light. Next, the dark blue light separated from the powder itself, slowly fusing in the air and eventually forming the outline of a skeleton.

"Calm down, buddy. You can't defeat a Lich with brute strength alone," Lucy laughed hoarsely and said, "I know you're a monster, but in essence, a Lich is also a monster to most creatures in this world. Maybe there's a common language between 'monsters' and 'monsters,' and you two can have a good chat? If you could say something, that would be best, so I could figure out what language you understand without trying them all one by one."

The eyeball monster made a "woo-woo" sound, as if it was panting heavily. But did it have a mouth and vocal cords?

Apparently not.

Not only did it not have a mouth and vocal cords, it didn't seem to have ears, either. As for where exactly those "woo-woo" sounds came from, I didn't know.

Just as Lucy was still trying hard to determine the meaning of the "woo-woo" sound, the eyeball monster's attack resumed. It went berserk, lashing at Lucy with its tentacles, even the eyeball, which was its main body, started rolling around in the room that seemed cramped for it.

However, physical attacks were completely ineffective against Lucy, who had transformed into a soul state. One tentacle after another passed through Lucy's body, as if she were just a shadow.

Nevertheless, even though it couldn't attack at all, it seemed that it couldn't stop the eyeball monster's rage, and its assault continued unabated.

Under the violent attacks, accompanied by a booming noise, the walls around them shook violently, as if they might collapse at any moment.

The booming noise echoed in the underground world, and it was clearly audible even in the place where Andrew was.

...

Looking toward the direction of the sound, Andrew paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "They've activated the Tomb Guardian Demon."

"What's a Tomb Guardian Demon?" Turuk asked quietly.

"It's a monster summoned from spatial chaos. Although it's called a monster, it's vastly different from the monsters of our world. Strictly speaking, they're not strong but completely disregard the rules of this world. Without understanding them, there's no way to defeat them. Forget about us, even Angels and demons can't handle them. Typically, they're something even Angels and demons wouldn't want to touch."

"But the people of the Krimasha era dared to?"

"Because they never intended to come back, so they dared to release such things. It poses a threat only to those who sneak in here, not to themselves. The people of the Krimasha era ventured deeply into the exploration of 'unknown Magic,' even ahead of Heaven and Hell."

"'Unknown Magic'?"

"It's Magic that violates the laws, things that transcend the planes. Such research sometimes gets themselves killed."

Turuk widened his eyes, staring blankly at his master.

"It's not surprising that I know a lot," Andrew exhaled a long breath and said with a smile, "I've wanted to come here for over a hundred years. I've studied many books about the Krimasha era."

"Then, why did Master only come now?" Turuk asked.

"Because just getting in was useless, we had to take the things out alive. Even taking them out wasn't enough. Just like the Krimasha pendant I had before. It was indeed very useful, but if we couldn't decipher its mysteries, it was just a useful Magic tool, nothing more. So we need the support of the Blood Elf Queen, otherwise, we can't digest the things we get."

After taking a few steps in the narrow corridor, Andrew stopped and then looked to the side, "This way, there might be a Tomb Guardian Demon ahead."

With that, he bent down and entered a narrow passage.

Under normal circumstances, no one would choose such a difficult path.

Turuk nodded and quickly followed.

...

At this moment, Jones had already escaped the chase of the Tomb Guardian Demon. Or at least he thought so.

However, the situation was still dire. He didn't even know where he was...

What was worse, those tentacles seemed to sense his sound waves. As soon as he made a sound, within five minutes, those tentacles would reappear. And he didn't even know if those tentacles belonged to the same Tomb Guardian Demon...

This meant that Jones and Dora were lost.

Yes, lost. They were lost in the relics.

Surrounded by darkness, Jones could only see about ten meters around him with his fire stick. Everywhere were Magic-immune stone walls, Magic-immune floor tiles, and various paths leading to unknown destinations...

The difficulty of getting in was still fresh in Jones's memory. How was he supposed to find the original gap to leave here when he was lost?

If this were just an ordinary ruin, no matter how large, he could take his time to find his way out, eventually finding it.

However, it wasn't. There were unknown eerie monsters here. If each Magic Power source he saw was one of these monsters...that meant there were at least a hundred of them.

In fact, the one he had just seen might have been the weakest.

A fifty-square-kilometer area, with multiple layers, wasn't small. But after stuffing a hundred monsters in, it became extremely crowded, with traps everywhere...

Realizing this, cold sweat ran down Jones's face.

"Looks like I shouldn't have underestimated this place..."

"Lord Jones, what should we do now?"

"We need to find a way out of here. Finding things is no longer important, we need to leave here first. We'll figure out the rest after we get out."

Saying this, Jones pulled out the Nine-petal Snake Flower emblem from his pocket. It was the "locator." Although the Giant Snake City didn't have twenty Lichs maintaining their casting state, and the portal couldn't open within a minute, as long as he activated it, the Giant Snake City would be aware of Jones's situation, and opening a portal within two hours would still be easy.

Without hesitation, Jones activated the "locator."

However, the "locator" only flickered twice before the gemstone on it shattered...

Dora was stunned.

Jones silently put the emblem back in his pocket, "As expected, it didn't work, blocked by the stone."

"Then...what should we do now?"

"We'll take it one step at a time, slowly find our way. We should have run back earlier...but maybe there are other exits. I'm starting to understand why Heaven and Hell didn't destroy this place directly. Because there are things here they can't handle."

Looking around, every path looked identical, with no clue where to go.

Holding the fire stick, Jones led Dora to explore bit by bit, cautiously.

Fortunately, these monsters seemed unresponsive to light; otherwise, walking with the fire stick would have been fatal for Jones.

This place was truly terrifying, deep and unfathomable. Now, Jones deeply regretted not bringing all his forces inside directly.

Of course, if he had known about this situation, perhaps he wouldn't have rushed in. He would have set up a camp outside, and then sent at least half his Lichs to stand guard, studying and advancing bit by bit, instead of being so hasty.

After fleeing from that area resembling an underground city, it seemed he had rushed in his panic into a deeper layer underground. Unlike the other side, which was filled with high-rise buildings and rooms everywhere, this side had long corridors suspended in mid-air.

Jones held up the fire stick, exploring bit by bit.

As he walked, he muttered to himself, "However...if I could control these monsters, perhaps I could use them against Heaven and Hell."

With this thought, his interest in the Krimasha Relics suddenly soared.

At that moment, he had no idea that within these ruins, including the monster he had just encountered, there were many things that neither Heaven, Hell, nor even the people of the Krimasha era could fully control.
