Necromancer Lords are Weak? Watch Me Recruit Fallen Deities! – Chapter 29

Ch 29: Six-Star Hero!

Exploration Points?

Exploration Progress?

Shen Chi mused, he didn’t seem to pay much attention to this.

Apparently, it was related to the extent of his exploration in the Ancient Battlefield.

Just like in a game, the map is initially covered in fog of war and question marks.

Each time an area was explored, a piece of the fog was dispelled.

Each time an event on the map was triggered, a question mark was removed.

At this time, Exploration Points and Exploration Progress would quietly +1.

Unknowingly, Exploration Progress had already accumulated to 10 points.

Shen Chi didn’t know what this thing was for before.

However, now it seems that this thing needs to be collected to a certain amount to trigger an effect!

Then there’s nothing more to say, Shen Chi responded:

“Activate!”

『Ding!』

『Deducting Exploration Points 10, a nearby hidden relic has been activated, and the corresponding coordinates have been marked on the map. Please proceed to the coordinates to explore.』

After hearing this, Shen Chi directly brought up the map on the system interface.

Sure enough, 3 kilometers southeast of him, a very conspicuous red dot was displayed.

Shen Chi then led the Skeleton Army and hurried towards that coordinate.

A distance of 3 kilometers, not too far.

The vicinity was almost a plain, with no undulating terrain obstacles, and the field of vision was extremely wide.

If there were any prominent landmarks 3 kilometers away, they should be visible at a glance.

But Shen Chi looked into the distance in the direction of the marker, but saw nothing but a vast expanse!

Before long, he arrived at the location marked on the map.

It turned out that on the flat ground, there was a magic array just big enough for a single person to stand on, leisurely rotating.

A prompt popped up above the magic array:

『Hidden Relic: 【Cult Dungeon】』

Heh.

It seems that this is the teleportation array for the relic.

Shen Chi walked forward, and as soon as his feet stood firmly on the magic array, slender green lights suddenly rose around him.

The green light grew stronger and stronger, and soon blurred Shen Chi’s vision.

A moment later, Shen Chi had arrived in another space.

The ceiling suddenly lowered, almost touching his nose.

Three sides were surrounded by stone walls, so narrow that it was suffocating.

A sticky, foul odor floated in the air.

It was dark all around, with only Shen Chi himself.

It seems that this should be an underground space.

Similar to a single-player dungeon room.

Associating this with the name of the relic, 【Cult Dungeon】, Shen Chi probably had a clue in his mind.

There was only one entrance ahead, from which faint candlelight vaguely came.

Shen Chi then walked towards that entrance.

Passing through the cave entrance, he walked onto a winding downward stone path.

Shen Chi groped forward step by step.

The narrow tunnel, like the esophagus of a giant monster, made Shen Chi feel like he was being swallowed by an ancient and huge monster.

After walking for a while, he encountered the first light source.

It was a wall lamp, with a faint candle quietly burning inside.

Walking down further, for about ten minutes or so, the path became wider and wider.

Until finally, he saw a real exit.

Shen Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, staying in a narrow place for a long time was still somewhat torturous to the nerves.

He quickened his pace and walked out of this cramped tunnel.

The moment he stepped out of the cave entrance, the space suddenly opened up.

Shen Chi felt like he had arrived at an underground hall.

The hall was huge, almost the size of two football fields.

Looking up, there was a building resembling an altar at the farthest end of the hall.

That should be the focus of this relic.

Shen Chi planned to walk straight towards it.

There was no need to worry about any danger.

After all, he was only spiritually attached to the 【Undying Body】, without a real physical form.

The distance from the entrance to the altar was only three hundred meters.

But the ground along this road was covered with people crawling!

Densely packed, it was a bit creepy.

However, upon closer inspection, he realized that they were not people, but skeletons!

The skeletons were wrapped in tattered black robes, maintaining different postures.

Some knelt, some kowtowed, and some had their hands in a praying gesture.

All the skeletons were still, like lifelike statues.

It was as if all the years had been taken away in an instant, and time had frozen at this moment.

All the skeletons had their heads facing the direction of the altar.

As if… worshipping something.

The atmosphere of the entire hall was extremely eerie.

Shen Chi walked forward step by step and came to the side of the altar.

Looking up, the entire altar was composed of three layers of circular platforms. From top to bottom, each layer was smaller than the one below.

There was a row of stone steps in the front, leading straight to the highest level of the altar from the bottom.

Shen Chi walked up the stone steps, and in a few steps, he reached the top of the altar.

Right in the center of the top layer, there was a… stone coffin.

Shen Chi quietly sized up the coffin.

It seems that the one lying in this coffin is the important figure in this dungeon.

Just as he was wondering whether to pry open a crack to peek inside the coffin, but was worried that doing so would be a bit immoral—

A familiar mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

『Sensed the existence of undead creatures, do you want to summon them?』

Shen Chi’s heart skipped a beat.

No way.

Wouldn’t it directly summon the one lying in the coffin?

Shen Chi’s heart beat faster, and he forced himself to calm down before saying:

“Check the specific information!”

『Buzz——』

『Detected a six-star hero: 【Skeleton Archbishop Theodore】!』

『Summoning requires 300 Mental Energy』

“??????”

Shen Chi’s whole body trembled, and his eyes widened instantly.

“How much? Six stars?”

“A six-star hero?”

Shen Chi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Calm down, calm down.

……

Crap! Can’t calm down!
