Lord of Rot

Headland Crypt.

A lizard man crawled quickly on the ground, its iron broom-like tail swaying left and right following the body, constantly hitting the narrow path.

There was a "whoosh" and "whoosh" sound in the air.

This sound has frequently appeared in the underground territory in recent times. Every time it appears, a large number of lives will be lost. Recently, the sound has advanced to the river.

The lizard man was struck by a spear with a trail of frost, and his body stiffened instantly.

"Cleaning done!"

Today, the headland crypt is almost completely cleared, leaving only this underground castle as an unexcavated treasure.

Li Qi controlled a lizard man and rushed into the castle like a suicide.

There was no attack as expected. The dead lizard man turned its neck and looked around with a pair of lifeless eyes.

The castle grounds are very peaceful.

In the dim light emitted by the glowing moss, dead bones can be seen, including those of humans, lizardmen, harpies and other monsters.

"Strange!"

He controlled the dead body of the lizard man with all his heart and walked into the castle. The door of the castle was open as if to say: "Welcome."

Castle hall.

"Golden!"

Li Qi looked at the golden candlestick on the table in the hall in surprise. The candle had completely burned itself out over the long years. Maybe it had illuminated this space at some time, but now only the candlestick was left to flicker with time. The golden light cannot be erased.

The wealth of the castle was far beyond imagination, and Li Qi even regretted not rushing into the castle directly and missing out on getting a sum of funds that would have allowed the Porcupine Territory to develop rapidly.

A single golden candlestick can support the Porcupine Leader's development expenses for more than half a year.

The first floor is nothing special. There is a room for servants to rest, a kitchen, a hall, a dining room, a living room, a toilet and other places.

Naturally, there are no golden candlesticks in these places, so it can be said that there is no gain.

The second floor.

There are portraits hanging in the corridor. Time has faded the paint on the paintings, leaving only a yellowed and curled canvas, and a portrait of a certain nobleman that can barely be seen, but only a large faded and blurred color block remains.

When I opened a door just upstairs, dust was flying.

The tail of the dead lizard man's body swayed slightly, and Li Qi did not forget to make more noise as he walked.

This should be the room of a female noble. The princess bed, dressing table, etc. have been corroded by time. Only the golden candlestick can attract Li Qi's attention.

And as he continued to search, in addition to golden candlesticks and silver plates, as well as armor that had been completely eroded over the years, a stockpile of swords, and a lot of gold and silver coins!

No wonder everyone loves treasure hunting, and Li Qi fully understands the fun.

A rough estimate shows that there are as many gold coins as five sacks of grain from an unknown era, and silver coins are even less, but there are as many as two sacks.

There are also two boxes of jewelry.

Li Qi now wants to hire people, directly drag a few scholars over, and then ask them to help him study internal combustion engines and promote the industrial revolution of Lurea continent?

No, no, this little money is not enough.

And scholars are troublesome, they are wise enough!

If a scholar discovers that he can control dead bodies, Li Qi will probably become a public enemy of the mainland in an instant.

Pick up the golden candlestick and go downstairs, then control other corpses to carry them, and you will make rapid progress right in front of you!

When he reached the first floor, Li Qi suddenly discovered a blind spot that he had not seen in his previous search.

"Huh? There is actually a dungeon."

The rusty iron door of the dungeon could not withstand the impact of the lizard man, and fell to the ground with flying rust.

Fortunately, dead bodies don't need to breathe, and the lizardmen make their way deeper into the dungeon.

It was similar to the dungeons of other castles, narrow and cramped, with no windows and no light coming in.

He couldn't breathe, but his consciousness hiding among the lizard men seemed to be able to smell the rotten stench unique to the dungeon.

Passing through dungeons.

Li Qi suddenly stopped the corpse and looked at the cell at the end.

It was a very strange scene.

More than a dozen corpses were entangled together, with bones entangled with bones, as if they were still doing some crazy things before they were alive.

And among the bones, leaning against the wall, was a white skeleton with its hands and feet bound.

Gold and silver jewelry can still be seen on the remaining more than a dozen white bones, as well as skirts that have not completely rotted.

According to normal logic, the white bones trapped in the hands and feet should be male, and the others surrounding them are female.

"I really enjoyed it until the last moment." Li Qi suddenly remembered the book "The Donkey Knight and the Duchess" that he had read, but compared with the happy ending of that book, this man's ending was not very happy.

Adhering to the principle of no waste, Li Qi opened the rusty broken lock, went in and removed the bones, and collected the gold rings, gold necklaces, and gold badges hanging in the chest of the bones.

Li Qi is not going to sell these treasures directly for money. Unlike the treasures of this era's craftsmanship, it is like holding a loudspeaker and shouting "I have dug a treasure, come and rob me!", the greed of the big lords for treasures, As long as a little bit of news is leaked, the army may come to the city.

Therefore, it is better to melt the treasure directly and use it as ordinary gold.

After searching the dungeon, Li Qi couldn't take away all the treasures, so he could only take them selectively, but he just walked back to the ground and went to the castle hall.

"wrong!"

Something knocked over the long table in the castle hall.

He was very careful when searching the castle just now, but the huge change in the environment instantly aroused Li Qi's vigilance.

However, Li Qi felt happy in his heart.

Don’t be afraid of problems, just be afraid that there won’t be any problems.

Anyway, the role of this lizard man is to bring death. It is better to discover the enemy in the dark now than to be crouched in the corner when the enemy comes in to move the treasure later, which will cause a greater sacrifice.

He deliberately controlled the lizard man to swing his tail and hit the table hard.

Boom! Boom!

The sound of banging and whipping echoed through the castle.

"Roar!!"

Roaring sounds came from the second floor, and the thumping sound of feet slapped the ground, causing the candlestick to shake, the picture frame hanging on the wall to be knocked off, and the hall instantly turned into a mess.

Li Qi looked at the stairs and finally knew what the things hidden in the castle looked like.

Its head was pressed against the hall, its claws were like iron rakes, and its teeth were like sharp spears.

Covered in long black hair, a pair of scarlet eyes stared at the lizard man.

The monster stretched out his hand and struck it down with a claw.

Li Qi immediately lost contact with the lizard people.

"What a monster!"

In the castle, Li Qi opened his eyes and breathed heavily.

He was so engrossed that for a moment he felt as if he had personally experienced the death of the lizard man.

Recalling the hairy monster, Li Qi quickly thought about ways to deal with it.

"If I were to replace him with that shining golden extraordinary knight, would he be able to defeat it?"

Comparing it horizontally, the skin and flesh of the dead body of the lizard man is at least thicker than that of the iron bull hoof knight. Can the extraordinary knight turn the iron bull hoof knight into a meat pie with one slap?

It has nothing to do with technique, it's just pure power suppression.

And the hairy monster that looks like a giant version of a werewolf is probably agile.

"What about the gryphon?"

This comparison is meaningless, because Li Qi doesn't know the specific strength of the griffon. He only knows that when its lion body shakes, the young mares dare not move.

But judging from its size, a griffon in front of a hairy monster is like a teddy in front of a strong man. It can probably fly quite far with one kick.

Li Qi replaced the harpy and flew to the castle, intending to take out the golden candlesticks he had collected first. Unexpectedly, the long-haired monster was guarding the door, jumped up and slapped the harpy to death.

He could only reluctantly give up the wealth and treasures in the castle temporarily.

"It seems... we can only take a long-term approach!"

We must first find a way to kill that hairy monster.
