Chapter 2042 Mysterious Pagoda Tomb

"Our squadron escorted four scholars to Galti Island by boat, intending to inspect the ancient tower mausoleum located on the island in the middle of the central volcanic lake. Before departure, we set up a temporary camp at the foot of the mountain as a logistics base."

Tristan turned around and pointed to the abandoned camp previously occupied by a large group of "killer vines", and continued: "I left half of the naval officers and soldiers to garrison the camp, and brought the rest of my men to accompany the scholars on mountaineering expeditions. The monsters and ghouls attacked, but fortunately we were prepared, and the loss was not too great. We arrived at the top of the mountain a week later, summoned sea beast mounts by the lake, and carried the members of the expedition team across the water to board the island in the middle of the lake."

"Then you broke into the stone tower on the island?" Joan asked.

Tristan nodded slightly, with a sad tone: "This is the worst mistake I've ever made in my life!"

"What happened to your team in the tower?" Joan became more and more curious.

"The space inside the tower mausoleum is not too big. The building above the ground is very simple. It is a church-like hall with a shaft in the center. There are spirally descending stone steps along the side of the shaft. There are many ghouls entrenched around the shaft. And wandering ghosts."

"For us paladins, these undead are not difficult to deal with. However, when we went down to the bottom of the well, we found that the main building of the tower mausoleum is actually an underground palace hidden at the bottom of the well. There are a lot of ghouls and ghosts in the underground palace. , At that time, we experienced a series of fierce battles, and our physical strength and spell slots were exhausted. It was hard to deal with this large wave of undead creatures, and the casualties in the team also increased sharply."

"However, we have come here, and we are unwilling to give up halfway, so we insist on continuing to explore the depths of the underground palace, and finally come to the hall where the owner of the tomb rests."

The soul fire in Tristan's eyes was erratic, as if he was still in fear.

"Using the torches to illuminate, we were surprised to find that in the dark hall, there were fiery red roses growing everywhere, and fragrant flowers surrounded an altar with a sarcophagus placed on it."

"We were all deeply shocked by the spectacle in front of us, but we didn't expect that the flowers all over the place were deadly killers. They seemed to smell the breath of strangers, and suddenly they all flew into the air. The ground that was originally rooted was covered with bones !"

"The roots of the magic flower detached from the parasitic corpses, and made a frightening buzzing sound, like a group of bright red strange insects pounced on us, piercing the skin with flower thorns, sucking blood crazily."

"This sudden change caused our team to fall into chaos. We had to do our best to resist the siege of the magic flower. Many people unknowingly inhaled the highly poisonous pollen sprayed by the magic flower. In a blink of an eye, they were paralyzed and unable to move. The enchanted flowers flew up in groups, sucking up their own blood."

"At the moment of the melee, I accidentally heard a strange movement from the altar in the middle of the flower field. The sarcophagus cover was removed automatically, and a pale ghost floated out of the coffin. At first glance, it looked like an aristocratic woman. Seeing her appearance clearly, the banshee hugged her head and howled."

"The moment I heard the banshee's wail, I felt dizzy and dizzy, and finally woke up. I was surprised to find that almost all my companions fell to the ground and died. This tragic scene made me feel desperate, and I became a deserter for the first time in my life..."

The dim light in Tristan's eyes revealed guilt and sadness.

"I was like a bereaved dog. I fled the underground palace and the tower mausoleum in embarrassment. I hurried down the mountain under the pursuit of a large group of ghosts. I planned to return to the camp to seek help from the brothers who stayed behind."

"However, when I fled back to the camp exhausted, I found that the place had just been attacked. Groups of ghosts were floating above the camp. Ghouls and killer vines were vying to eat the corpses of the stationed officers and soldiers..."

"This scene in the camp was more terrifying than the slaughterhouse, which deepened my despair. Under the siege of the undead and man-eating plants, I fought to the last moment, but it was in vain after all..."

Finally, Tristan ended his story with a sigh.

After listening to him, Joan felt deep sympathy for his experience. At the same time, she also became more curious about the tomb of the Banshee.

Especially the red magic flower that Tristan mentioned growing in the underground palace, is it a supernatural plant, a kind of insect that is good at mimicry, or some kind of special undead creature?

If Tristan's description is not too exaggerated, the hunting mode of those vampire flowers clearly has the characteristics of a biological "cluster", and it is very likely that they have formed a "brood will".

Joan has done in-depth research on "biological clusters" and "brood will", and has published related papers. When engaged in expeditions or military missions, he often summons biological clusters for scouting and combat.

As an expert in this field, he is very familiar with swarms of insects, birds and even deep-sea fish, but he has never heard of "plant clusters". Does such a thing really exist?

The young mage couldn't help but have many small question marks in his heart.

Thinking of this, Joan secretly made up his mind that even if it was just to perfect his own research, it was worth taking the risk of going deep into the Taling Underground Palace to confirm with his own eyes whether the cluster of magic flowers that Tristan said was true and what kind of exotic species it was!

"Tristan, I'm going to explore Taling on the island in the middle of the lake. I'm leaving now. Would you like to accompany me?" Joan asked frankly.

"Dear master, reminding you to pay attention to safety and ensuring your safety are my unshirkable missions. The two are not contradictory. I have already fulfilled the first mission. If you insist on going to Taling to explore, then I will Fulfill the second mission." Tristan replied solemnly.

"Okay then, let's go."

Joan walked up to Tristan, made a series of spell-casting gestures, and a glowing teleportation array rose from under his feet, wrapping him and Tristan soaring into the sky.

A few seconds later, Joan and Tristan teleported to the shore of the volcanic lake, which is the area where he, Hailar and Zion siblings encountered the Banshee half a month ago.

The lakeside was filled with mist that exuded a strong sulfur smell, and the vision was severely limited. Although there were no undead creatures nearby, the strong negative energy made Joan feel a slight chill down his spine.

Half a month ago, he and three friends teamed up to kill the Banshee, but the spirit of the Banshee could not be completely wiped out, so it is hard to say whether it has been revived now.

Qiao An didn't want to hear the mournful banshee's wailing, so she had to take precautions before going to explore the island.

Opening the storage bag, Joan took out a bottle of potion soaked in "God's Tears" in advance, unscrewed the cork, and drank it down.

Tristan is an undead creature, immune to necromancy, negative energy is beneficial to him, and he is an "incorporeal body" without flesh and blood, and he does not have the physiological function to take medicine.
