Chapter 129: Transformation! New Druid Form!_2
"" "Reveal your identities, or we will consider you as intruders to be killed without mercy!"
The other undead drew their weapons in succession, their voices chillingly declared: "Killed without mercy!"
Seeing the group of undead ready to attack at any moment, Cao Xing was speechless.
"Renice, explain it to them."
Being an Ascalon person, they naturally noticed Renice.
This was also the main reason they did not immediately attack Cao Xing and the others.
Renice slowly began speaking, explaining to them what had happened in the underground palace and their purpose.
With Renice's explanation, the undead gradually understood the sequence of events.
They looked at Cao Xing with a strange expression on their faces.
Initially, they believed this was an intruder.
Now it seemed he had come to save them.
The undead officer drifted forward and said, "I am the Ascalon Guard Captain, Farra Cabot. On behalf of all the Ascalon undead, thank you for your help!"
With that said, the entire Shield Temple, more than a hundred undead, all bowed to Cao Xing.
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.
These undead might not be easy to communicate with, but at least they knew how to distinguish between friend and foe.
They expressed gratitude to those they owed, and without hesitation, killed intruders.
Cao Xing nodded, "So basically, Sarah has already informed you of the situation, and we don't have much time."
"There's no time to waste, leave here as soon as you can and meet up with Carlhan outside."
Hearing Cao Xing's concerned tone, the Ascalon undead showed a touched expression.
Even that guard captain saluted Cao Xing once again.
However, in reality, Cao Xing wanted to urge the undead to leave quickly.
Otherwise, if they remembered that there were funerary artifacts inside the coffins and decided to take them all with them, he would suffer a significant loss!
The undead officer said solemnly, "Then, we'll leave first. Human clan friend, good luck to you!"
"May the glory of the sunken shine upon you!"
With that, he led the undead army, quickly passing through the walls and leaving.
A system prompt appeared.
[Quest progress has been updated.]
[Proceed to the Four Great Temples, Shield Temple task completed, current progress: 1/4]
Cao Xing silently nodded, then said to his subordinates, "Search everything, collect all the relics of the deceased."
Assam and the others followed orders, carefully searching through more than a hundred coffins and every corner of the entire temple.
Meanwhile, Cao Xing went straight to the fallen statue.
Because he had vaguely seen a white shadow beside the statue.
Upon closer inspection, a silver-white treasure box, also covered in a thick layer of dust, appeared on the ruins.
Cao Xing was delighted, "Indeed, there's a treasure box here, and it's a silver treasure box!"
A system prompt appeared.
[Found an unlocked Silver Treasure Chest*1, do you want to open it?]
"Yes."
[Successfully opened.]
[Acquired Magic Power Storage Device Construction blueprints*1]
[Acquired Mercenary Light Armor (Blue)*1]
[Acquired Intermediate Elemental Crystal*3]
[Acquired Medical Bag*2]
[Acquired Small Resource Pack*5]
...
"Oh? A piece of light armor?"
Cao Xing glanced at the attributes.
[Mercenary Light Armor (Blue) lv10]
[Quality: Superior]
[Armor: 31~37]
[Attached Effect①: Agility +5, Constitution +5]
[Attached Effect②: Lightly Equipped (Attack speed increased by 10%, and there is a 50% chance to further increase attack speed by 20% when attacking, effect lasts for 60 seconds)]
[Attached Effect③: Mercenary Code (When attacked, there is a 30% chance to reduce the damage of this attack by 20%, and increase own attack power by 5%, effect lasts for 60 seconds)]
...
"As a piece of blue equipment, its attributes are decent."
Cao Xing directly tossed it to Liu Muxue, who happened to still be wearing green plate armor.
Liu Muxue caught it, then glanced at Cao Xing, giving a sweet smile.
Without saying much, she immediately put on the equipment.
In an instant, her proud chest was accentuated even more.
Moreover, Liu Muxue was draped in a wolf skin coat, appearing both elegant and luxurious.
At the same time, Assam and the others had already ransacked the coffins in the temple.
Then, they handed all the funerary artifacts they collected over to Cao Xing.
[Acquired: Ascalon Funerary Artifact Bag*34]
[Acquired: Ascalon Captain's Funerary Artifact Bag*3]
...
"Wuhu! Over thirty bags at once!"
Cao Xing was overjoyed!
"Assuming each bag yields 2 to 3 Brass Ancient Coins, the bags I have on hand should yield at least one to two hundred Brass Ancient Coins."
"In other words, I can directly exchange for two Ancient Treasure Boxes!"
Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn't help but feel even more excited.
Then, he led the recruited creatures and walked straight out of the Shield Temple.
Cao Xing ordered, "Let's go, to the next location, the Holy Sword Temple."
After returning to the hall outside the Shield Temple, several passage entrances appeared before Cao Xing and the others again.
Ji Xinyue quickly took out the map, began studying the route to reach the Holy Sword Temple.
She said softly, "Cao Xing, this time we take the right passage."
Cao Xing nodded.
Having become an elite creature, Blom was now extremely excited, raising his shield and charging forward.
With the overall strength of their team improved, Cao Xing also felt more confident.
Soon, they entered a corridor again.
Cao Xing vaguely saw a few unopened coffins ahead.
Before he could approach the coffins to open them, six or seven Soul-Devouring Monsters appeared.
Upon seeing the humans in the passage, they immediately charged over!
