Chapter 441 Obtaining Rare and Precious Treasures, the Joy of a Bountiful Harvest!

"Hongyang, do you remember what just happened?"

"I—I remember, yes, the soul storm of that skeleton!"

I saw that everyone had been hit!

I passed out, Ark, weren't you hit by that magic?

"No, Hongyang, I was also hit, but my soul power was slightly stronger and protected me, so I didn't immediately lose consciousness."

Hong Yang nodded and turned his gaze to Fang Zhou's back.

The altar of bones there still stands, and the crimson orb on it continues to slowly rotate.

However, the once mighty and invincible lich has vanished without a trace, and the Skull Throne has collapsed into countless shattered skulls.

"And then what happened?"

"Ark, did you defeat that lich?"

Hong Yang asked in an extremely surprised tone.

Fangzhou nodded without explaining anything further.

Hong Yang was secretly amazed, but wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

He turned his gaze to the altar of bones that still stood before him.

"That lich once said that as long as this altar and the blood-red orb on it are destroyed, the plague curse that is currently threatening the Queen's tribe can be broken."

"Ark, is that right?"

Fangzhou observed the bone altar and then made a judgment with certainty.

"This altar is indeed the key to the plague curse, but the crimson light on it contains a large amount of necromantic energy."

If the altar is destroyed indiscriminately, the unrestrained negative energy will turn the land within a radius of several kilometers into a wasteland of disease and death.

"That won't do! Our home is within this area. We, the native inhabitants of the withered swamp, will never allow anyone to do that!"

Suddenly, Gunara, the leader of the mud spring succubi in the corner, protested in a shrill voice.

Clearly, she had just been rescued by Liu Diewu using purified Moon Spring water.

"Chief Guna, please don't be impatient."

We will not sacrifice the interests of our allies for our own security.

Ark's voice rang out, calming the somewhat agitated leader of Gunara.

The old banshee lowered her bone staff, which she had raised high. "You said it, human boy."

Gunara believes you will not break your promise.

"But what about the Queen's tribe?"

Liu Diewu put down the water bag and walked over, saying, "As long as this pile of bones exists for one more day, the allies of the Queen's tribe will suffer one more day of torment."

We don't have time to find a solution that satisfies both sides.

"I now have a way to destroy the altar without letting the negative energy of the curse spread."

Fangzhou stretched out his hands, which had been hidden in his sleeves, and pointed to the altar.

"The design of this bone altar is quite perfect."

But I found some useful knowledge in the memories of that Naraku remnant soul.

Despite the ravages of time, this altar still possesses exploitable flaws.

"Lord Ark, please give your orders."

What do we need to do to crack this altar?

The centaur guide, Akai, also staggered over and said...

This strong natural creature had just been rescued and awakened by Liu Diewu.

Its face still looked somewhat pale, but the emerald green battle aura on its body had mostly recovered.

"This altar has been integrated with the entire burial site."

Destroying an altar alone is difficult, but destroying it along with the burial site is much simpler.

As for that wisp of cursed energy, that's no problem either; I can make it disappear right now.

As Fang Zhou spoke, his ten fingers trembled in the air, drawing out mysterious runes that flashed with bluish-white light.

These runes condensed into strings in the air, then flew toward the blood-red orb and immediately stuck to it.

As the crimson light slowly became covered by runes, Hong Yang suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to Akai, "The Ark boss just said that he wants to destroy this tomb site as well."

In that case, let's quickly search here.

See if there are any valuable treasures or resources.

Before Akai could reply, Fangzhou nodded and said, "While we were rescuing everyone, I was already directing the undead army to search this place."

However, these skeletons and zombies are not very useful for the delicate task of looting.

If you're in a good position, could you please help me out?

Akai nodded and led his companions to clean up the battlefield.

When it comes to treating the aftereffects of these storms, a professional priest like Hong Yang is definitely more effective.

With the help of Hong Yang, Liu Diewu, and others, the other team members recovered in an orderly manner.

Although many people experienced splitting headaches, there were generally no other problems.

Only about 20 swamp natives and natural creatures, whose souls were somewhat fragile, became vegetative.

This is an unavoidable sacrifice.

After all, without their attack, which forced Vladimir, who was in a state of soul stitching, to use a self-destructive soul storm, the Ark wouldn't have been able to so easily force him to use soul combat and bloodshed.

Fortunately, no one was killed in any of the three teams from Haicheng Military Academy.

Meanwhile, Ark was not idle either.

While deciphering the plague array based on Vladimir's remnant soul's memories, he also commanded his undead army to begin clearing the top floor of the vast tomb.

Although the environment here was a mess from the battle just now, Ark could sense that there were still many treasures here that would be useful to him.

For example, there's this huge patch of pale green smoke floating overhead.

This is the [Breath of Decay] that Ark has been longing for, a rare and precious black iron-grade undead attribute treasure.

In the middle of this pale green haze, there was a withered, forked tree branch.

According to Queen Beyondis, this is the container that her flower fairy clan uses to preserve the breath of decay.

Ark activated its language proficiency skill and recited a difficult incantation.

As he waved his hand, the withered branch trembled slightly, as if a whale were sucking in water, drawing back the decaying aura that had been spreading out.

Then, Fangzhou reached out and retrieved the branch, then contentedly stored it in his spatial storage capsule.

Next, all he needs to do is find a well-equipped alchemy workshop, and he can start crafting necromancy attribute talent potions.

Besides the most conspicuous stench of decay, the Ark also discovered a shattered dark gold crown at the location where Vladimir's throne had previously stood.

This is clearly the same hat that Vladimir was wearing before.

Fangzhou bent down and picked up the topmost, pitted and broken crown, which was corroded by soul power. Immediately, a notification appeared on the attribute panel.

【Soul Guardian Bronze Crown】(Rare Item, Green Excellent): A broken rare item from the Naraku civilization, it has a remarkable effect on protecting and nourishing the soul. It has now lost most of its function, but can be used as a forging material to enhance the necromancer's exclusive equipment.

After exchanging a few lines of introduction, Fangzhou's eyes lit up.

Clearly, the fact that Vladimir, this remnant soul of the Naraku civilization, has survived to this day is absolutely inseparable from the bronze crown that he possesses to protect the soul.

Although this crown is now damaged, it would still be an excellent choice as a casting material.

Fangzhou looked at the necromancer orb in his hand and immediately began to ponder.

The necromancer orb that Instructor Su Xinyan passed down to him has the special effect of enhancing summoning abilities.

Even among ordinary white equipment, it is considered to be among the top tier.

However, due to the limited availability of raw materials, its quality is no longer sufficient to meet the needs of the Ark.

If this Soul Guardian Copper Gate is used as a secondary material to forge and strengthen it, then it can accompany the Ark for a long time.

Putting away the Soul Guardian Crown, Ark once again looked at the spoils plundered by the skeleton army.

Among the embers of the former Bone Throne, there was also a transparent skull that shimmered with a black sheen.

After confirming several times through the Soul Eagle Eye perspective that there was no danger, Ark picked up the transparent skull and looked at the description on the attribute panel.

Thanks to the fragmented knowledge left behind in Vladimir's soul fragments, Ark's knowledge of necromancers in the Naraku civilization has increased many times over.

Although time is short and he doesn't have time to carefully organize and summarize it into the knowledge system of humankind, it is more than enough to identify some of Vladimir's relics.

It was precisely because of this that the Ark was able to discover these remaining treasures so quickly.

【Soul-Binding Skull】(Green, Excellent, Rare Item): A necromancy artifact capable of preserving souls for an extended period. Originally of extremely high quality, it has lost most of its functions for unknown reasons. It can capture souls for soul conversion and can be used once.

Looking at the description on the attribute panel, Fangzhou's eyes revealed a look of understanding.

Perhaps Vladimir's transformation into that grotesque soul-stitched form was also inextricably linked to this Soul-Binding Skull.

However, with the passage of time, this originally high-quality Soul-Binding Skull only has one more chance to capture a soul and transform it.

Fangzhou was still unclear about its effects, so he put it into a spatial storage capsule, intending to study it slowly later.

Aside from these two rare and precious items, Ark didn't find many other spoils that caught his eye.

Among the piles of bones scattered throughout the burial hall, he discovered more than ten energy-storing gems imbued with necromantic power.

These are perhaps the results accumulated during Vladimir's short period of waking up, and it's unknown what their purpose will be.

However, for the Ark, these energy storage gems are comparable to portable power banks.

He can replenish his necromancy anytime, anywhere, greatly increasing his sustained combat ability.

These can be like mana regeneration potions without resistance.

Ark tested these energy-storing gems.

A single gem could probably restore all of his mana.

These dozen or so gems will be enough for him for a long time.

Meanwhile, Hong Yang and Liu Diewu had already woken up most of the expedition team members.

Under their command, these expedition members also helped the Ark search the entire Tomb of the Dead.

They didn't seem to crave the spoils of war.

After all, they had only paid such a small price to eliminate this group of undead monsters and quell the source of the plague that could have spread to the entire fragments of the Natural Forest space.

Both the natural creatures and the swamp inhabitants were already satisfied.

The three squads from Haihai City Military Academy were even more detached from ambition.

After all, they had already received the mission from the Flower Fairy Queen Beyondis.

As long as you successfully return to the Queen's tribe, you will receive a large amount of contribution points and military merit rewards.

Not to mention the accumulated wealth from the Queen's tribe's treasury, which was generously given away.

After scavenging some undead alchemy materials and the legacies of creatures that had died at Vladimir's hands, the group regretfully discovered that, eroded by the power of time, perhaps the most precious thing was the magic array patterns engraved on the undead tomb itself.

From the first to the third floor, there are some obscure characters and patterns in various hidden corners.

These are clearly the intellectual heritage of the Naraku civilization.

Apart from Fangzhou, the genuine necromancer, the other members of the expedition team were not interested in these things.

Fangzhou was incredibly excited at this moment.

He transformed into an archaeologist, standing in the center of the top hall of the tomb, relying on the energy connection with the undead creatures below to scan and record these unpredictable broken magic array patterns.

This knowledge was something the Ark had never encountered before, and it was also necromancy knowledge that the humans of Earth had never explored.

He should have been helpless in the face of this.

However, his skeletal clone had previously discovered a mysterious altar in the Netherworld that enhanced zombies.

Although the patterns on this tomb of the dead are not exactly the same as those on the altar of the Naraku civilization, they do have some similarities.

In addition, the fragmented memories brought by Vladimir's soul fragments and the Naraku civilization's magic array system summarized by Master Sandru were enough for Ark to draw inferences and roughly understand the story depicted in this tomb of the dead.

The original function of these magic array patterns is no longer known, but their basic function of expressing meaning is still evident.

After collecting all the remaining magic array diagrams, Fang Zhou remained calm, but a deep meaning lurked in his eyes.

Although the story described in the tomb array patterns is fragmented and only consists of snippets, it is something that the Ark had never heard of before.

According to the information Ark had previously encountered, the Naraku civilization suffered a crushing defeat in its war against the Abyss Demons, ultimately leading to its destruction.

Only a few remnants of civilizations are scattered throughout mythical worlds, for later generations like humans from Earth to excavate.

The discovery of Vladimir's remnant soul in this Naraku civilization tomb that had ended up in the Forest of Nature was already enough to surprise Ark.

However, what he did not expect was that, according to the story told in the tomb's magic array pattern, the Naraku civilization might not have been completely wiped out.

Aside from the vast majority of the powerful members of the Naraku civilization who perished in the bloody battle against the abyss demons, there were also some survivors.
