Diablo traveled through time and became a necromancer

This room is much smaller than the previous room where the ritual blade was stored, and the room where the ritual blade was stored is filled with too many traps, so it is impossible to explore it carefully unless the magic traps can be removed.

After viewing the murals, Wu Ye realized that the snake people went to such lengths to block out the sunlight. Couldn't they have stayed in the sun for longer? Wu Ye also wondered if the Lost City might have been built by snake people, but then invaded by humans and then wiped out by the snake people.

Whether you are an invader or a victim, this kind of thing cannot be judged. After all, one side is human and the other side is another race. When you cannot communicate, you don’t know what the other side wants to do. Destruction is the best outcome. This is also the way of survival in this world where the strong prey on the weak.

Wu Ye took off the magic lantern from his waist and held it in his hand, so that the lighting range would be wider. When the lighting reached a certain level, some movements were heard on the surrounding walls.

"boom!"

The torches that had seemed long since extinguished were rekindled. Crucially, the color of these torches wasn't blue, but the color of the sun. Wasn't this the kind of light the snake people hated? Why was it appearing in this secret room?

Could it be that the people who built the altar were rebellious? After all, the snake people had mastered magic, so it was impossible for them not to make magical torches of other colors.

However, the lighting from these torches made the previously dim secret room brightly lit, allowing Wu Ye to see clearly what was on the stone platform in front.

It was the corpse of a snake man, but it was wrapped in bandages, just like a mummy. There was a dagger stuck in the chest of the snake man's corpse, which was very similar to the ritual blade in Wu Ye's hand, but the color was different. The one in Wu Ye's hand was dark green and even had a flowing light, while the one inserted into the corpse had a red blade, as if it was cast together with the green one.

"The mural says that a sacrifice is needed to complete the ritual. This body must be lying here as the sacrifice. If the dagger is removed, will the ritual be invalidated?"

Wu Ye pondered this internally. After all, this ritual was once taught to these snake people by Lasma, and it seemed to have some special purpose, but the snake people hadn't recorded it. Wu Ye was now beginning to hesitate, unsure whether he should draw the dagger. After all, even if the area was covered in dark clouds, it wouldn't have affected anything. If there had been any impact, it would have been dealt with long ago, not until now.

"Eh? What is this?"

It was only then that Wu Ye discovered that there was something placed next to the corpse. It turned out to be a necklace made of pure gold in the shape of a snake man?

"Why is the Viper Amulet here? Could this be the Fallen Altar of the Sun? That's not right!"

Now it was Wu Ye's turn to be bewildered. He had never expected to find the Viper Amulet here. Logically, the sealing of Baal happened many, many years ago, and the King's Staff and Viper Amulet forged by the Horadric clan should have been made at that time. Wait! Could it be that the Horadric clan had contact with the Serpent People after arriving in the Aranok Desert? Otherwise, they wouldn't have given such a thing to them so easily, right?

Now it may make sense. The former snake people learned magic and created civilization under the teachings of Lasma. Later, they encountered the Horadric people who chased the demon to the Aranok Desert. Maybe the former snake people also helped them, but that was in the past. Today's snake people have been demonized and will be reborn infinitely after death.

Although it has become a demon, it still follows its consciousness from its previous life and will not approach the ritual hall, so this place seems to have become a "safe area" in the Snake Canyon.

No wonder I’ve seen so many traces of human activities before, so this is what it is!

After Wu Ye figured it out, he put the viper amulet into his backpack. He did not intend to pull out the ritual blade on the other side of the corpse, because perhaps this ritual had other uses?

At this point, Wu Ye's purpose of coming to the Snake Canyon has been achieved, but there is still one thing he needs to do, which is to go to another pseudo-altar to get the [Pass Certificate] that can lead to Kurast.

After all, this is a task set by the Adventurer's Guild, and anyone who wants to go to Kurast must comply with it, just like you have to punch in on time for work every day, otherwise there will be no extra rewards.

"The owner didn't even touch the other things in here. Did he take the wrong medicine?"

The high priest poked Skeleton Brother's ribs with his finger.

"Maybe there are other reasons, but our purpose of coming here has been achieved."

Brother Skeleton recognized the viper amulet.

"Achieved? What did you mean accomplished? Just opening a door and looking at a mummy and that's it? That's so boring. I want to see a river of blood."

The high priest spoke the most devilish words in the calmest tone.

"Alright, let's rest in this hall for the night and go to where I'm going tomorrow. Can you two tell me what you did while I was looking at the magic circle?"

Wu Ye led Skeleton Brother and the high priest out of the secret room. After they all walked out, the door miraculously closed again, and the magic circle was restored to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

"What an amazing magic! I wish I could use such powerful magic."

This magic is completely comparable to today's smart home appliances! Automatically closing the door and automatically repairing it, I can't believe it.

After Wu Ye found a corner in the hall and set up the bonfire, he took out all his equipment, such as tables, chairs, benches, beds, and other things. It was very convenient to have a backpack. It was just like a construction game. You can put the things in the bag wherever you want. You can even put two wooden boards flat and tightly together.

"Master, I think there's something in the secret room on the other side. Unfortunately, there are too many traps. I don't dare to explore it anymore."

The high priest pointed to the closed secret room on the other side. If she was not a skeleton, her body would be full of arrows. Those arrows were shot like they were free, and they had tracking capabilities, making it impossible to defend against them unless there was something that could block these arrows.

Otherwise it would be really hard to explore.
