The deepest part of the cemetery, the throne room.

Ainz silently sensed the situation on each floor of the necropolis, the pupils in his eyes trembling.

After a moment, he came back to his senses and murmured to himself, "Fortunately, most of the outsiders stayed on the first floor. It's a pity that Charutia, who is responsible for guarding there, is not here. In this case..."

He clenched the scepter in his hand and knocked it heavily on the ground. As a result, many unknown changes occurred in the necropolis.

"Let me put the first, second and third floors into a state of defense against foreign enemies and see how many of them can survive."

After finishing his words, Ainz slowly stood up, his body quickly became illusory, and he disappeared into the throne room in the blink of an eye.

The next second, His figure appeared in the sky above the outside world, with the weird temple at his feet.

Ainz stood in the void, quietly staring at the entrance to the necropolis.

"Just wait here. Only those who successfully escape are qualified to praise my name."

......

A plain white palm pressed down on a slightly raised tomb brick on the wall.

There was a rumbling and rubbing sound from the wall, and then it flipped open, revealing a three-meter-wide tomb.

Two spears suddenly pierced out of the tomb, with a somewhat sinister meaning.

"Bang! Bang!"

They were each stopped by a brass shield and no one was hurt.

Immediately afterwards, a short sword glowing with sacred golden light protruded from the gap in the shield, sweeping left and right, splitting apart the two skeleton warriors holding spears.

"Give way."

A steady voice came from behind the shield, and the two Grek soldiers moved away, leaving a gap.

Li Shanren squeezed sideways into the secret tomb, took a brief look and then backed out.

There was nothing inside except some skeletons.

In the nearby cemetery corridor, there are basically no obvious tombs, but occasionally slightly raised tomb bricks will appear on the walls. When pressed, a hidden tomb will appear.

However, there are skeleton warriors or skeleton mages hidden inside who are always ready for sneak attacks.

These burial chambers, which appear to be hidden locations, are clearly designed to trap people.

After following some clues and searching for more than an hour, Li Shanren still couldn't find Tifa.

I just discovered these hidden tombs by accident.

Therefore, he suspected that Tifa might be hiding in a hidden tomb.

"This one doesn't exist either. Let's go find the next one."

Li Shanren sighed slightly.

In the next hour, hidden tombs were opened one after another. There may be mechanisms that suddenly shoot out crossbows, or traps containing undead skeletons.

After opening more than a dozen rooms in a row, just when Li Shanren thought he was looking in the wrong direction, he came to a dead end. In the lower left corner of the wall at the end, an inconspicuous blue tomb brick was slightly raised.

This subtle difference did not go unnoticed by Li Shanren's eyes, which were particularly good at spotting differences.

He asked the Grek soldiers to go to the front and set up a brass shield to defend against possible attacks. He then came to the tomb brick and squatted down, gently pressing it in.

"Rumble..."

The slate-grey wall immediately flipped back.

It's just that this wall doesn't seem to open directly like the previous darkroom walls. Instead, it will turn around and return to the original point. People need to follow the rotation of the wall to the other side.

After observing the characteristics of this wall, Li Shanren pressed down the re-protruded gray tomb brick again.

Then he stood up and asked the two soldiers to advance on guard. He hid behind them and followed the rotation of the wall to the other side.

This is another hidden tomb chamber, but compared to other tomb chambers, it is relatively spacious. There is also a sarcophagus with complex patterns carved on the surface in the center.

There are many dead yellow bones scattered on the ground, and there are also many rusty swords and bent long bows left on the ground. It seems that there has been a battle before, and all the skeleton warriors hiding here have been wiped out.

A considerable part of the bones were broken in the middle, and it looked like they were broken by force.

Li Shanren looked around the tomb, moved his eyes slightly, looked at the sarcophagus in the center, and then focused his eyes.

A long-haired girl sat with her head lowered and leaning against the sarcophagus. She wore a white vest on her upper body, a leather skirt and boots on her lower body. Her right ear was exposed, and there was a silver earring that occasionally shone with gold.

On the left side of her abdomen, a half-broken arrow pierced deeply into it, and blood seeped out, staining her clothes red.

There was no sound at all, and no movement of the body could be seen.

"Tifa, hiss..."

Li Shanren took three steps in a row and stepped forward quickly.

He bent down, stretched out two fingers, and breathed.

The breath was as weak as a drop of water flowing on a lotus leaf. If you don't feel it carefully, you won't notice it at all.

The vitality is like a candle in the wind, as if it will dissipate in the next second.

"There should be hope."

Li Shanren did not dare to delay, and hurriedly pulled off the Holy Grail bottle, gently pinched Tifa's chin and lifted it up. The mouth of the bottle was aimed at the bloodless lips, making them open slightly, and drank the last drop of red dew inside. Go in.

He did not pull out the broken arrow first. After all, Tifa looked extremely weak now. If she was injured twice, she didn't know if she could still bear it.

It's better to stabilize her life first.

After drinking the powerful healing dew drop, Tifa's pale face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her strong vitality returned to her body.

It’s just that the broken arrow in her abdomen has not been pulled out yet. If the wound heals...

Li Shanren held the broken end of the arrow tightly, gritted his teeth slightly, and pulled it out with force. Because the arrow had a barb, this pull even brought out some flesh and blood.

"Pfft-"

The wound that had just recovered broke open again and shed a lot of blood.

Logically speaking, facing such pain, Tifa should be awakened by it.

But the girl with red eyes was still unconscious, and only her slightly convulsed body faithfully showed her reaction to the pain.

Li Shanren quickly took out the elixir Holy Grail bottle and fed the healing elixir to Tifa, allowing the wound on her abdomen to heal again.

After a while, facing Tifa whose expression improved and her breathing stabilized, Li Shanren breathed a sigh of relief.

Just looking at her who was still unconscious, Li Shanren frowned.

"Tifa, Tifa..."

He gently shook the red-eyed girl's shoulder and called.

However, the other party didn't respond at all, his eyes were closed tightly, like a sleeping beauty.

"Could it be that she has suffered mental damage? In that case, blue dew drops may be used to wake her up."

Li Shanren guessed in deep thought.

He is basically out of ammunition and food now. If he wants to wait for the Holy Grail bottle to recover on its own, he still has to wait for about an hour.

But this can only restore one mouthful, and it has to be converted into blue dew drops and fed to Tifa to try to revive her.
