Traveling through the game world

The so-called "gentle haven" is a hero's graveyard. At this moment, Lian Yang was already in the graveyard of heroes throughout the history of the Dark Elves.

This wasn't the paradise of gentle pleasures described in ancient tales; it was a vast, pitch-black underground world. It was nothing like the compact space Lian Yang had imagined in the game.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. The Heroes' Tomb is where great figures from Dark Elf history are buried, not just a handful like in the game. Consider the ancient tombs that archaeologists have looted—which one wasn't small? Well, let's forget about Qin Shi Huang's; he's too awesome for anyone to compare to.

Similarly, those who can be buried in the Heroes' Tomb must at least be wise rulers or virtuous ministers, and not even every Dark Elf King is eligible. How can so many people be buried together without a large space?

The vast and empty Dark Elf Heroes' Tomb made Lian Yang understand why it could accommodate so many adventurers over the past few days. It was simply too empty; as far as the eye could see, it was pitch black and stretched to the horizon.

Moreover, the road was winding and twisting, with countless forks at every intersection, making it extremely unlikely that people would bump into each other. And figuring out how to get out would also be a hassle. That's why Lian Yang saw all sorts of markings on the wall.

Fluorite is a unique mineral that emits light and has many uses, but because its light is soft and bright, it is mostly used to make lighting tools.

Lian Yang casually took out a few pieces of fluorite and distributed them to everyone, one for each person. Although not as powerful as a flashlight on Earth, it was enough to illuminate a distance of five meters around them. After all, the light from fluorite was soft and lacked penetrating power, so it could only illuminate a distance of five meters around them.

As the hero's graveyard of the dark elves, the Hero's Tomb originally had no monsters, and its existence was more significant. However, Lian Yang and his companions had not gone far when they were suddenly struck by an arrow.

The one who fired the arrow was a dark elf soldier, dressed in dark elf uniform and carrying a dark elf standard handgun.

However, this dark elf had bloodshot eyes and looked quite crazed. Lian Yang immediately realized that this was a dark elf corrupted by the Black Nightmare.

Lian Yang also understood why the dark elves dared not venture inside; they were afraid of turning themselves into monsters. This reminded Lian Yang of what Barn had said: these dark-skinned creatures that had just crawled out of the ground were no pushovers.

As the first arrow struck, a brief, scattered volley of arrows followed, instantly disrupting the previously quiet and dark Hero's Tomb into a cacophony of noise.

"My God!" Baron exclaimed in surprise, "Has an entire squad of dark elf soldiers gone mad?" While the Black Nightmare could indeed bewitch the mind, this was the first time Baron had ever witnessed such widespread disruption of the four dimensions of a living being.

After casually dispatching a crazed dark elf soldier and feeling the thrill of his rapidly increasing experience points, Lian Yang said, "It's not just this one squad, is it? I reckon the entire tomb-guarding force of Hero's Tomb has been corrupted, otherwise the dark elves would never have sent us to solve this problem."

Speaking of this, Lian Yang couldn't help but think of Barn's assessment of the dark elves; these creatures, fresh from the depths of the earth, were all incredibly dangerous. The problem brought about by the Black Nightmare of the Hero's Tomb was that it drove people mad—information Lian Yang hadn't known before he arrived.

Despite the entire squad of dark elf soldiers, they were quickly wiped out by Lian Yang and his group. The rapid increase in experience points didn't bring any joy to the group.

Although they had wiped out a squad of crazed soldiers, they weren't monsters after all, and killing wasn't a joyful thing. Having composed themselves, the group, to avoid further trouble, reduced the number of fluorites they had to one.

As the light in my hand dims, the probability of attracting the enemy's attention decreases considerably. However, the darker environment also makes it much easier for the enemy to launch a sneak attack.

After all, the threat within the Hero's Tomb wasn't just the dark elves corrupted by the Black Nightmare, but also the large influx of adventurers. These crazed adventurers, though not brainwashed by the Black Nightmare, were no less insane than the monsters when it came to money.

However, there's no such thing as being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days. Despite their careful movements, the five of them couldn't see any further because of the faint glow around them.

"Thud..." The sound of a sharp weapon being pulled out of the body suddenly rang out.

"Pfft~" Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Alice lying limply on the ground, blood gushing from her back.

In a brief moment, no assassin could be found in the pitch-black Hero's Tomb, but Lian Yang carefully examined Alice's wounds and discovered that they were caused by a dagger-like weapon.

A slight unease settled in Lian Yang's heart. "They've attacked us," he said. "Everyone be extra careful. It'll be hard to spot them in the dark."

Everyone nodded solemnly. Whether assassins or shadow dancers, they were all renowned killer classes in Arad. These classes, naturally inclined to lurk in the shadows and deliver a fatal blow to their enemies, were even more formidable in the dimly lit Hero's Tomb.

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Alice had recovered and said thankfully, "Luckily, my equipment is good enough, and I have an automatic medicine-taking system, otherwise I would be dead here today. I only had 5% of my life left."

patting her chest, Alice was still shaken. If she had been any stronger just now, or if she were still wearing her old Blue Sky and White Clouds gear, she definitely wouldn't be alive today. Even without the automatic potion system and the powerful Remy's Kiss, she would still be dead.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Lian Yang with gratitude. Her strength today was all thanks to Lian Yang. If it weren't for Lian Yang's amazing system, she might still be just an ordinary adventurer. Although she wouldn't be in danger today, her life would certainly be very ordinary.

Time ticked by, and Lian Yang and the others explored more carefully, eliminating wave after wave of dark elf squads. Their levels increased rapidly, but the frowns on their brows became even more pronounced.

So far, Lian Yang and his group have not found a single hero's tomb and are still wandering around the outskirts of the heroes' cemetery.

"Pfft..." Just as Lian Yang and the others were anxiously searching and had relaxed their guard slightly, the attack came again.

This time, it was Baron who was attacked. Baron, who was always shirtless, stood close to Arthur. But compared to the fully armed paladin Arthur, the shirtless Baron seemed to be more appealing to the assassin.

"Pfft!" Baron spat out a mouthful of blood, but he managed to stay upright. Blood was still spraying from his back. Baron grinned and said, "Phew, I'm still holding up, aren't I? I didn't even fall down."

Just as Nicholas, having discovered the assassin's escape route, was about to give chase, Baron said, "Don't go after them. You'll be in trouble if you get alone." As he spoke, Baron's expression had returned to normal. Although assassination was troublesome, Baron, also wearing heavy armor and without his berserk mode activated, had defensive capabilities no less than Alice's.

Lian Yang also shouted, "Nicholas, come back! If we all stick together, they'll only dare to launch sneak attacks. If you go out alone, you'll definitely get ganged up on and beaten up. It's pointless."

The tomb of heroes has countless forks in the road and is pitch black, making it extremely difficult for Lian Yang and his companions to navigate, as they could only rely on the faint glow of the light to find their way.

However, this is definitely not the case for assassins or shadow dancers. Although they cannot achieve the same level of vision as day, they can see much farther in the dimly lit Hero's Tomb than Lian Yang and the others.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to launch two covert attacks on Lianyang team members without being detected. Therefore, if Nicholas tried to follow the assassins' trail, he would easily be surrounded and attacked. This is because no one was certain whether the assassins involved in the two attacks came from one organization or two separate organizations.

Despite their increased caution, the exploration of the Hero's Tomb became even slower, as enemy assassinations continued one after another.

Lian Yang, Arthur, and Nicholas were all killed, and the unlucky Baron was even stabbed in the back for the second time.

The caution on everyone's faces had vanished, replaced by annoyance, or rather, impatience. The assassin couldn't inflict fatal damage, but like mosquitoes at night, he was persistent, biting them every now and then, utterly irritating.
