Chapter 176 Activating Silver

Suren had no idea about the empress's secret order.

He just felt that the Royal Luen Army had entered so decisively, they must have had some confidence.

Those guys were carrying the Banner of Death of Nergal, which looked like they had been prepared for this.

Many undead monsters are "spectral types," and many of their attack methods are mental, such as fear, hallucinations, and wails. These are very tricky for ordinary people, especially strength-based professionals.

But this banner could block and slow down almost all negative statuses, which just happened to counter them.

With this method, the Holy Judgment Army's combat power wouldn't be reduced too much.

Suren roughly estimated the level of the monsters in this cursed space and really thought they might be able to push through it.

Usually, the rank of monsters in a cursed space would not be higher than their rank before death.

Moreover, a cursed space without long-term energy maintenance would become less and less dangerous as energy dissipated. It was hard to say what level the monsters formed here after hundreds of years.

Besides, in addition to the banner of this sealed object, the Luen Royal Elite Army wouldn't lack high-level equipment.

The efficiency of this kind of professional army in exploration was not comparable to those of scattered adventurers.

That's why Suren planned to follow them to take a look.

In terms of strength, he was far inferior to that army. But because the Eye of Omniscience had identified detailed information about the cursed space, his chances of survival were no lower than those of the two thousand-man armies.

Moreover, with a large force opening the way and attracting firepower, Suren felt that his risk of entering would be greatly reduced.

Of course, there were also many unknown factors.

The Eye of Omniscience also identified some other things.

This cursed space was not simply a cursed space formed by the fall of a strong person, but also contained the aura leaked from the "Burial Ground of Gods."

That was the most dangerous thing.

Those high-level law fragments were very violent, like nuclear radiation, and would cause low-level creatures to mutate unknowingly.

.......

This cursed space was very dangerous, and Suren didn't plan to take Yuta in for an adventure.

To make Yuta understand, he also told her about the intelligence he had identified.

Yuta didn't say anything, and just listened to Suren quietly the whole time.

The two didn't rush to set off, but observed from a distance for more than half an hour.

The black hole aura formed by this cursed space was very large. Although those legions still had a squadron's worth of combat power stationed there, it was easy for Suren to avoid them and sneak in quietly.

Before long, Suren saw that the time was ripe, and said to Yuta beside him, "I'm going in. Yuta, be careful yourself."

"Okay."

Yuta nodded obediently.

After speaking, Suren was just about to leave when he was grabbed by the arm.

He turned his head and saw a pretty face full of tenderness looking at him.

Suren asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

A different color that was not easily noticed flashed across Yuta's crystal eyes. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Suren, thank you for taking care of me so much."

At this moment, it seemed like there were many things to say, but when they reached her lips, she didn't know how to say them.

After hesitating obviously for a moment, she said again: "You... you must be careful."

Suren heard the concern in her tone, gently stroked her cheek, and smiled, "Okay."

He had said everything he needed to say, so he didn't stay any longer and quietly went down the treetop.

Yuta watched Suren's departing figure, feeling inexplicably sad, and murmured to herself: "I really hope I can see you again in the future, Mr. Suren..."

After she finished speaking, the tenderness in her eyes gradually turned into determination.

Liking someone was her own private matter.

But she was a Daru Druid, and had the continuation of the clan and tribe to protect.

This was the closest their clan had been to the ancestral ruins in hundreds of years.

Yuta would not give up such an opportunity.

Druids more or less have some special perception abilities.

At such a close distance, she had clearly heard the call in the dark. She guessed that it was the spirit of the Daru ancestors.

She didn't tell Suren about this.

Because Yuta knew that if she said it, Suren would definitely help her.

But she also knew very well that with Suren's abilities, the chances of surviving would be higher without her as a burden.

Although Mr. Suren was a friend, the Daru people also had their own beliefs and persistence. When it came to the survival of the clan, they couldn't completely rely on others.

Yuta watched Suren's figure disappear into the black light of the cursed space, and also quietly went down the tree.

.......

This Druid's Burial Ground of Gods cursed space also had a benefit for Suren, that was that it was very friendly to undead creatures.

Blacky liked the aura here very much.

Suren bypassed the guarding soldiers, used soul link to call out Blacky, and let it fly into the cursed space as his eyes and ears first.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see any traces of the Royal Luen Army who had entered earlier.

At least he wouldn't be ambushed.

At the same time, he also realized that the location that appeared after entering seemed to be random.

After observing for a while, Suren then took out a dark, black piece of corpse, and glanced at it with disgust.

The corpse poison of this thing wasn't a big problem for him.

But if it wasn't to increase his chances of survival, he would definitely not eat this kind of thing.

He stuffed it into his mouth in one go.

Suren endured the taste of the rotten flesh without trying to savor it, and swallowed the whole piece without chewing at all, almost choking.

But the effect was immediate.

In an instant, the vitality on his body was immediately enveloped by the rotten corpse aura.

After preparing these things last night, Suren didn't hesitate any longer and quietly disappeared into the cursed space.

.......

The surrounding light and shadow changed, and he immediately went from a dark giant tree to a strange world with red light.

Before Suren was a very tall city wall. The shape was very familiar. It was naturally the complete appearance of the broken walls they had encountered in the ruins before.

"It seems that the timeline in the cursed space should be before the Druid Divine Art seal came?"

Suren had a guess in his mind.

Although he couldn't see the full picture of this giant city at the foot of the city wall, Blacky could see it very clearly.

The city was very complete.

But it was also very strange.

He didn't see any living giants, nor any Daru people.

Moreover, what was even stranger was that there was no light source in the sky, but there were spatial cracks everywhere.

The spatial cracks seemed to be a terrifying lava world, and dark red firelight like blood overflowed from the cracks, illuminating the city in front of him like some irregular massage parlor, all red.

And lifeless.

The atmosphere instantly made people feel extremely strange.

"Could the lava world in the cracks be the Burial Ground of Gods?"

Suren guessed something, and clearly felt the strong, bone-chilling undead aura around his body.

If he hadn't eaten a piece of rotten meat, he would have rashly broken in, and would most likely have been like a torch in the dark night, instantly attracting the attention of those that existed in the darkness.

Blacky was very happy, like a fish that had been dry for a long time meeting water, greedily devouring the undead aura.

This silly bird was probably too excited and was "quacking" in the air.

Then, it was punished.

A tentacle monster of some kind suddenly lashed out from behind the city wall like lightning.

Blacky was hit and exploded into a ball of dead air.

Suren frowned as he watched the silly bird re-condense its body on his shoulder.

It seemed that even with the corpse aura covering him, he couldn't be careless.

There was movement from fighting in the city, which must be the army from Luen that had entered earlier.

With those guys attracting the monsters in the space, Suren felt a lot more at ease.

He identified the direction, released the Spider Lance Armor, put up the black umbrella, and quietly climbed up the high wall.

.......

When he got on the city wall, Suren also had a panoramic view of the city.

When he was outside the ruins before, he had seen those incomplete buildings, but the scale was less than one ten thousandth of what was here.

This was a very magnificent city.

The scale of the buildings was very huge in the eyes of ordinary humans.

Hundred-meter-high single-story buildings were everywhere, altars, temples, arenas, bathhouses, open-air council chambers, fountain pools, statues... The architecture of the entire city was a rough style of knife-cut axe carving.

Simple, yet it made people feel a sense of awe for the "huge" for no reason.

A large number of spatial cracks distorted the field of vision, and the entire space was like an abstract painting with a dark red background.

Suren stood on the city wall, took out his telescope, and observed for a while.

Before long, he saw another familiar huge palace in the buildings, and thought to himself in surprise: "That shape... seems to be the temple in the relief I saw before?"

For races with divine beliefs, buildings like temples would be very special, and it was likely to be the same one.

Thinking of the myth of the mural of sacrificing eyes, Suren also had expectations and wanted to see what the complete version of the mural looked like.

Moreover, coincidentally, the temple was in the direction of the city, and the sound of fighting was also coming from that area.

Suren put down the telescope and planned to go over and take a look.

He climbed down with the Spider Lances, avoided the position of the tentacle monster before, and looked for another way.

.......

The giant city was like a maze. Once you entered the city, there were tall white stone walls all around.

Suren found that there were many fresh traces of monsters walking on the ground, and he was glad that the people from Luen were attracting firepower, so he didn't encounter any large-scale monster groups.

But as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, an accident happened.

Suren had been walking very carefully all the way.

Blacky was opening the way in front, and his soul perception was also fully open.

Even with such caution, and avoiding several waves of monsters in the buildings, he still encountered trouble.

When passing through a residential area, he clearly didn't sense the presence of any monsters.

But when he walked over, a special soul wave like the Fire of the Undead suddenly appeared in his perception range.

In the blink of an eye, two six-meter-tall two-headed giants appeared out of thin air and blocked his way.

"Monsters coming out of the spatial cracks?"

Suren thought of something and his eyes twitched.

He himself had mastered some spatial laws, and keenly noticed the spatial fluctuations when the monsters appeared.

Sure enough, the space in this cursed space was also abnormal.

The skin of the two giants had a pale color like a corpse. However, the exposed part of the ulcerated skin was not rotten flesh, but rather some mercury-like metallic luster that overflowed.

Suren glanced at it and instantly identified the information.

[Two-Headed Silver Giant Zombie]

Details: A third-tier silver-level zombie-type monster; possesses very powerful strength; undead aura and special metal give it super defense and recovery abilities;

Looking at the words "special metal" that were identified, Suren's original intention to avoid it was immediately extinguished, and he was both surprised and delighted: "Could it be Living Silver?"

He thought of a special puppet material that his teacher had once told him about!

If it was really that thing, it would be a top-level material that was hard to come by!

Thinking about it, he moved quickly.

With a knot of Warlock seals in his hands, a huge Mechanical Armor appeared out of thin air in front of him.

At that moment, the two two-headed giants also rushed over waving their maces.

The flexibility of the Mechanical Armor that Suren was now controlling was countless times higher than before. He stuffed a living corpse inside the armor and used mental tentacles, with one thread being able to control the behemoth.

The two-headed giants looked clumsy, but their speed was not slow. The mechanical boiler accumulated energy and sprayed it out suddenly. At that instant, the two sides collided together.

The Mechanical Armor liked head-on opponents the most. When it came to arm wrestling or comparing defenses, machines had a natural advantage over flesh and blood, even if the opponent was a strange monster!

The Ship-Slicing Blade opened and closed, and slashed towards one of them.

If this blade hit, an ordinary third-tier monster would definitely be cut in half on the spot.

But to Suren's surprise, when the two sides touched, the Ship-Slicing Blade did cut off the two-headed giant's mace. But the blade trembled and was like a blunt knife hitting a tree. It cut in two inches, and could no longer move forward.

At the same time, the cut also made a harsh "chi-cha" sound like metal cutting.

"What strong toughness!"

When Suren saw this, he not only didn't get discouraged, but instead had a strange expectation, and thought to himself: "If it's really that kind of metal, it should have this toughness..."

His eyes were fixed on the two-headed giant's wound, and he immediately saw the wound flashing with silver light, and then it actually healed visibly to the naked eye. It was like a liquid that had been cut open, automatically returning to its original state!

When Suren saw this, he couldn't calm down anymore, and muttered: "Memory metal! It really is Living Silver!"

No wonder he was so excited, this metal was the most important main material that his teacher, Serena, had said could be used to make her ultimate puppet project, the Alchemy Golem!

Living Silver is said to be one of the metals with the most stable material form in the world.

High temperature, cold, corrosion, cutting... have very little effect on it.

A puppet made of this material would mean that it had almost unsolvable physical and magical defenses.

Moreover, not only that, this metal could also fuse with other metals to obtain hardness, flexibility, and other added attributes. It could also withstand top-level rune inscriptions and various enchantments without collapsing...

The reason Serena thought it was most suitable for making puppets was because it was a memory metal! It could restore its original appearance in a short period of time after its shape was damaged by external forces.

The Alchemy Golem made in this way could not be killed or broken, and was almost unsolvable!

However, this metal was very strong, but also extremely rare.

It did not exist in natural mines, but only in myths and legends. Suren had seen a description in an ancient book of ancient goblins that this metal was only produced in places where gods were buried. It was said to be a product of the corruption of the flesh and blood of gods.

Suren had asked about this metal in various material shops in Jadurant Harbor and Blizzard City, but almost none of those material merchants had ever heard of Living Silver.

He originally thought that the material was nowhere to be found, but he didn't expect to encounter it now!

"This is the Burial Ground of Gods, so it's only natural to have this metal..."

Suren's mind was racing.

Looking at the two giant monsters in front of him, it was like seeing two treasure mountains. The two giants were not small, and the Living Silver that could be extracted from them was probably a lot.

If he could really create a primary Alchemy Golem, Suren felt that the value would even far exceed this set of Colonel-Class Ship-Slicing Type 9 Mechanical Armor!

But the problem came again.

The Mechanical Armor seemed unable to kill these two strange monsters.

.......

At that moment of confrontation, the Ship-Slicing Blade failed to cut the monster.

The Mechanical Armor's body paused, and another monster next to it slammed a mace heavily on the Mechanical Armor's waist.

With a loud "dong" sound, the huge force actually sent the Mechanical Armor flying out, crashing heavily into a wall, making a lot of noise.

When Suren saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The two giants had Living Silver in their bodies, so they could not be killed unless they were cut in half. It seemed that even if the Mechanical Armor ran out of energy, it would probably not be able to do anything to these two giants.

Although the Mechanical Armor was resistant to hits, the noise of the battle would attract other monsters in the city.

The Mechanical Armor was knocked away and before it had time to fight back, the two giants rushed towards Suren.

The two-headed giants were not very agile, and Suren's eyes turned frequently, accurately capturing their movements towards him.

Originally, he could easily avoid this level of speed, but unexpectedly, the giant whose mace had been cut off actually punched him from dozens of meters away.

In an instant, the force of the punch formed a visible ripple in the air.

Suren's face changed immediately, because at this time, he felt as if the surrounding air had solidified.

He wanted to move, but his body was like it was filled with lead, and it was very difficult to move.

"The strength of a third-tier giant is so exaggerated that the power actually distorts space..."

Suren's eyes sharpened.

If an ordinary third-tier monster took this punch, it would probably suffer a big loss.

He didn't plan to continue wasting time, flashed to avoid the punch, and grabbed with his ten fingers in the void. A black scythe-wielding invisible living corpse quietly appeared beside him.

At the same time, the Mechanical Armor also rushed out of the destroyed ruins.

This time, the Armor put away the Ship-Slicing Blade and rushed straight over. After withstanding a punch from the two-headed giant, two iron-clad hands firmly controlled it.

The two giant monsters were very strong, but because of their berserk state, most of their battles were instinctual, and their intelligence was extremely low.

At the moment they were controlled, a dark spatial crack appeared on the giant's neck.

"Clang" The head fell to the ground.

After the limbs were separated, the head that fell on the ground was like a magnet, with a tendency to attract to the cut.

Suren was quick-witted and quick-handed, teleported over, and put the head into the storage ring.

The giant who had lost its head stopped moving.

Then, Suren did the same thing again and quickly killed the other one.

He harvested two corpses and also obtained two pieces of silver cursed material, Corrupted Giant Demon Muscle.

........

"Whew..."

After Suren collected the two corpses, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he looked into the distance, and his eyes became more serious.

The first wave of monsters he encountered taught him a lesson.

If it wasn't for the black scythe, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything to this monster.

He would also be unable to move an inch in these ruins.

However, the harvest did exceed expectations!
