Deeper Nest

The underground tomb is supported by a large number of round pillars.

The number of corpses piled up below was far greater than Han Dong had imagined, far exceeding the number in the black hair cultivation room under the Stone Well.

The tomb's stone walls were designed as a series of intricately spaced bookshelves, upon which were placed countless skulls.

Such "skull walls" are a hallmark of underground tombs, extending almost indefinitely in number, beyond Han Dong's explanation.

"No matter how much we encourage childbirth."

No matter how they try to take advantage of tourists visiting the manor.

It's impossible to manufacture so many skulls, right?

If we cannot figure out where such a large number of corpses came from, the exploration of the manor may lead to unexpected dangers in the later stages... Let's try to find the answer through this night watch.

The large number of remains may be directly related to this cemetery.

The level of pollution in the tomb goes without saying.

Besides the white mist spreading across the ground, the skulls embedded in the walls occasionally have Ink Green tentacles with suckers emerging from their eye sockets.

Such images Eye Contact pollution and harm.

Abel immediately put on a distinctive white fur coat.

Jon the Night Watcher deliberately turned around and glanced back.

This white wool coat looks ordinary.

In reality, it was made from the skin of a certain [Otherworldly Demon], which was purified multiple times by the church to obtain high-quality materials.

Later, with the help of skilled tailors and seamstresses in the Holy City, such a fur coat was made, which could greatly resist the invasion of pollution and at the same time stimulate Abel's animalistic nature.

Its value goes without saying.

It was clearly given by Commander Kaimon.

However, what shocked Jon even more was another person... the crow boy who triggered the mission.

Whether it's setting foot in the cemetery or venturing deep into the tomb.

The young man was simply wearing a Crow Mask and remained completely unaffected.

Just then, a question came from beneath the Crow Mask: "Knight Jon, shouldn't the catacombs be an important part of the Great Manor's underground system?"

"You know about the 'underground system'?"

Jon was somewhat surprised, as this was crucial to the entire training camp.

Only through in-depth exploration can it be deduced that there is an underground system beneath the manor, constructed by the Grand Lord Stuart with enormous manpower and resources.

It is also a crucial place for 'brewing Evil Fruit '.

Han Dong nodded and replied, "Well... one of the basic tasks we're carrying out today involves the Underground Area."

Furthermore, we have made direct contact with a 'family executive,' and we can roughly deduce that the entire manor corresponds to a complex and vast underground system.

"That's true... but I can't go into the specifics; you'll have to find out for yourselves."

"Um."

Let's delve deeper.

The underground tomb has a very complex structure, even comparable to a maze, with multiple branching paths leading to different areas.

However, the overall structure is the same; no matter where you go, you can't avoid walls covered with skulls... However, Han Dong's keen observation skills led him to discover something unusual.

That's the 'slope problem'.

From the moment they entered the underground tomb, their group was descending.

The ground of the tomb has a slope of about 3° to 5°.

Another strange thing is that Han Dong did not find any signs of Ghoul activity in the underground tomb.

"Where does the night watch take place?" Han Dong asked.

"Deeper... Ten hours ago, a small team went deep into the tomb to carry out the mission of [finding the skull], and accidentally opened a secret passage leading to an even deeper place in the tomb."

They assumed the skull they needed to find would be located deeper inside.

The hasty exploration triggered a "dead point," resulting in a large-scale spillover of pollution.

"Want to go down there too?"

Led by Knight Jon, they arrived at a secluded Stone Chamber in the cemetery.

When moving a particular skull.

Rumble!

A square coffin placed in the center opened on its own, revealing a staircase covered with fungal patches, from which a foul stench emanated.

"Next, we will officially begin the night watch phase. Let me explain the basic requirements for you."

Currently, more than one "dead spot" with high concentrations of pollution has been detected, and eight Night Watcher are currently searching for any missed spots.

We will also be involved.

During this time, you may disturb the large Ghoul population that lives inside, and you may even encounter some advanced mutants and leaders.

The requirements for "night watch work" are:

① Assist in killing 30 Ghoul, one leader or mutant Ghoul.

②. To provide strong suggestions for finding the "dead spots" of pollution leakage.

"Killing Ghoul only counts if you Ghoul a fatal wound... Any Ghoul killed directly by me will not be counted in your kill count."

It goes without saying how difficult it is.

Based on strength, it would be almost impossible for a freshman to deal with an adult Ghoul.

Just like when Han Dong first met Cas, it took him a lot of effort to kill an adult Ghoul.

This is to assist Knight Jon.

However, Ghoul are a group that thrives on numbers, and once surrounded, Jon would be unable to ensure the safety of the two of them.

This is why Knight Jon was so distressed when he discovered that it was Abel who initiated the quest.

Venturing deep into such a massive Ghoul lair, coupled with an unusually large amount of Pollution Leakage, could easily lead to death if one is not careful.

"Does anyone have any questions?"

"No."

"If there are no problems, come down with me... Please remember! Stay close to me. If, due to some unavoidable factor, you are separated from me, you will die down here."

Put away your kerosene lamps, activate your night vision or wear Night Vision Goggles; Ghoul are very sensitive to firelight.

After saying that, Knight Jon also displayed some of his skills.

Leopard.

As a member of the Behemoth Knight Order, Jon, who specializes in [Control], has a natural connection with the 'cheetah'...

Some leopard spots and sharp claws appeared, releasing an invisible killing intent.

"I should warn you, according to our Knight Order ' investigation, this Ghoul lair below, after more than two hundred years of development and the special nature of the cemetery, is showing signs of developing into a ' Ghoul Kingdom.'"

"The Ghoul Kingdom?" Abel exclaimed in surprise, a bead of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Just then, Han Dong suggested, "Abel, you must stick close to Knight Jon. I'll take care of the rear guard. I'm good at handling both plague and pollution."

"OK."

Han Dong stayed at the rear of the squad.

Descending the plague-stricken steps marks the beginning of this insidious lair.

Buzz!

Han Dong's right arm trembled slightly due to the 'resonance'.
