Corpses, gold coins, potions, and equipment lay everywhere.
Yang Tao, leading Wind, Sia, and Salina, cleared out all the monsters on the outskirts of the Burial Grounds like a bulldozer.
Yang Tao put the more appealing corpses into his backpack for later use, while the unappealing ones were directly converted into energy.
"Clear the battlefield, keep charging!"
He liked this kind of battle.
"If you two have any suitable white or blue equipment, just equip it directly to improve your survivability."
Watching Wind and Sia excitedly pick up the gold coins on the ground, Yang Tao sighed helplessly and directly activated the Black Hole Band.
All the drops on the ground flew into Yang Tao's backpack.
"In total, there are 14,752 gold coins. Here are 2,752 for you two. I don't care for the five blue equipment pieces, so they're all yours. The one gold equipment piece is mine, and for everything else, we'll split it half and half."
"Oh, and these throwing knives... they're all for my sister-in-law. Is this distribution okay?"
Wind nodded like a pecking chick, his face alight with irrepressible excitement; this wave had truly been a huge gain.
This was practically robbing money, especially since Yang Tao killing a single monster would drop at least a dozen gold coins.
Currently, his level had already risen to 4. Although he had already been at level three and a half experience before, he never expected to reach level four in less than three hours.
Even Salina had risen to level two and learned the Ice Bolt skill.
However, Salina cried after learning the Ice Bolt skill because when Ice Bolt took effect, the killed monsters would not leave corpses, which prevented many Necromancer skills from being used.
But Yang Tao still comforted her.
No big deal if she didn't use it! Just pretend she never got it.
After distributing the items.
Yang Tao glanced at his experience bar, which was close to leveling up, and his gaze turned to the large tree in the center of the courtyard, where hundreds of figures stood densely packed.
Hordes of Hungry Dead and Dark Hunters wielding longbows, as well as the red and white Blood Raven.
After a slight hesitation, he said, "Let's go to the Mausoleum first to level up again, and then we'll deal with Blood Raven."
"Okay!"
Currently, Yang Tao was clearly the leader of the team, and the few of them followed him towards a white small palace.
This pure white small palace was the entrance to the underground mausoleum. Compared to the poor buried on the surface, the ones below were the 'rich' ones.
There was no light source in the dark palace, so Yang Tao took out a torch and stuck it on the wall.
"I'll send the ghost wolf down to check first..."
Wind still cautiously reminded him in the traditional way of a professional adventurer, but Yang Tao shook his head upon hearing it.
"No need for such trouble. The few of us will go down together. Just be prepared for high-intensity combat. As long as it's not all elite monsters down there, there won't be a problem."
"Alright then."
Yang Tao, holding a torch, led the skeletons and Wind into the Mausoleum. As soon as they entered, a group of skeletons surrounded them.
A silent battle immediately ensued. The mutual hacking of skeletons against skeletons was just that simple and unadorned.
Yang Tao, meanwhile, continuously stuck torches on the walls, attracting some monsters hidden in the side chambers of the mausoleum along the way.
Just then, an arrow flew out of the darkness, like a signal for attack.
In an instant, seven or eight arrows flew out.
Even with Yang Tao's agility, he was hit by two arrows, but the defense provided by his full set of bright gold equipment was strong enough, even having damage reduction. The two arrows only caused him to lose two points of health in total.
He gulped down a light healing potion.
Compared to minor healing potions, this light healing potion had a greater total recovery and much faster recovery speed.
'There are already archers in the Mausoleum?'
With enemies that could attack from range, the difficulty increased significantly. He took a Hungry Dead corpse from his backpack and threw it forcefully in the direction the arrows came from.
"Come out, Skelly!"
A Skelly with a shield quickly crawled out of the Hungry Dead's corpse and, without a word, raised its stone sword and hacked at a skeleton archer.
While Skelly attracted fire, Yang Tao also charged forward like a wild horse unbridled.
Bang...
The staff's attack effect was quite good.
Enduring the arrow shots, Yang Tao quickly eliminated the most threatening skeleton archers.
The drops on the ground flew into his body.
At this moment, the monsters from the side chambers also came out one after another. Seeing this, Yang Tao pulled an orange-yellow small bottle from his backpack and threw it into the midst of the clustered monsters.
Boom...
The small bottle smashed against the enemies, causing a violent explosion.
Explosive Potion
Throw Damage: 5-15
Throws a potion that explodes in a small area, dealing damage.
It was very useful but scarce in quantity. Even with how many monsters Yang Tao had killed, he had only obtained a dozen or so bottles.
He threw three bottles in a row, blasting all the monsters to critical health. Yang Tao charged in, essentially one-shotting each one.
Ten minutes later, nearly a hundred monsters lay on the ground. Yang Tao ran a circle around the battlefield, collecting all the items into his backpack.
"Continue!!"
Time flew by, and three hours passed in the midst of the slaughter.
The area of the underground Mausoleum truly exceeded his imagination. Yang Tao even suspected that the underground Mausoleum was much larger than the Burial Grounds on the surface.
Yang Tao opened his skill bar. His level had increased from 5 to 6, and having gained another skill point, he was now a bit hesitant.
'Should I continue to put points into Summon Skeleton or Magnify Damage?'
The range of level one Magnify Damage was very small, probably only enough to cover two monsters.
After a moment of thought, Yang Tao still decided to allocate the skill point to the Magnify Damage skill.
This skill could be said to be a god-tier skill for the Necromancer.
The effect was extremely simple.
Creatures affected by this curse +100% Physical Damage Taken.
Simply put, it was double damage, but it only worked on physical damage.
He put all the attribute points gained from leveling up into Energy, because of the Magnify Damage skill, he needed to increase his maximum mana.
Reality was not a game; the effect of potions was too poor, otherwise, he would have put all his points into Vitality long ago.
Closing all interfaces, Yang Tao looked at the side chamber at the end of the hallway. A faint golden light shimmered inside the door, like a treasure room.
Yang Tao looked at the constantly moving skeleton figures inside the small room and said in a relaxed tone, "Finally, we're at the end. Inside should be our target, Bonebreaker. Get ready..."
"Charge!"
The few of them quickly rushed towards the final room. Yang Tao was even at the very front, even faster than the skeletons.
The Boss room wasn't large, about the size of a basketball court. Besides the Bonebreaker, which was entirely ice-blue, among a group of skeletons, there was also a golden glowing treasure chest in the room.
Yang Tao immediately cast Magnify Damage. A pulsating flame appeared above the heads of the two skeletons closest to him.
This was the effect of the Magnify Damage curse taking hold.
He swung his staff at a monster, and its health immediately dropped by a third.
"Battle! Awesome!"
