Chapter 756 - 490: Carved Golems, Elite [Hate Samurai]
These half-human, half-dragon monsters stood three meters tall. Their bodies were covered in Dragon Scales, and they wielded Dragon Tooth Giant Swords that matched their immense size. Meanwhile, the remaining giant eggs continued to tremble incessantly, as if they were incubating some kind of monster.
...
Outside the door, Yan Yan studied it for a full ten minutes before finally turning around slowly. Facing Fang Zhou’s expectant gaze, he simply spread his hands.
"This Alchemy Engraved Door... seems rather complex... It might take a while to figure out... Should we try another one?"
For Yan Yan to so solemnly state it would take "a while" meant it definitely wouldn’t be a short period of time. Recalling the fleeting trace of a soul he had sensed earlier, Fang Zhou had an uneasy feeling. He had a premonition that complications were about to arise.
He decided to abandon the "Breeding Area" for now and explore the other rooms. They would gather all the knowledge and wealth they could first, so that if a fierce battle erupted later, they wouldn’t be at a disadvantage. Thinking of the vampire, ghoul, and dozens of frozen corpses they had already acquired, Fang Zhou felt more at ease.
"Let’s examine all the Alchemy Engraved Doors first. Pick the easiest one to crack; don’t waste any time," Fang Zhou commanded, glancing at Yan Yan and Jing Fei.
"Understood!"
Yan Yan nodded, then carefully inspected the doors. He finally pointed to an Alchemy Engraved Door near the main crypt and said, "This one’s the easiest!"
Using his light source, Fang Zhou clearly saw the name of the room. It was the "Engraved Workshop."
"How long will it take?"
"About... half an hour?"
It’ll probably only take a few minutes, Yan Yan thought. But I can’t be too overconfident, or I’ll end up eating my words.
"Alright, let’s hurry!"
...
「In the main crypt」
They actually... abandoned the Breeding Area?
Seeing Yan Yan walk over to the "Engraved Workshop," the Skeleton Mage lying in its coffin felt a surge of anger, followed by hesitation.
Should I proactively open the Alchemy Engraved Door to the Breeding Area now and let the Dragonbone Guards out to eliminate these intruders? Or perhaps not. The seven Dragonbone Guards and the newly hatched, staggering hatchlings might not be enough to eliminate all of them. After all, these guys killed Carved Golems and Undead servants. Their strength can’t be weak. Forget it, I’ll wait a little longer!
Although the Frozen Corpse Puppets had vanished without a trace, the Carved Golem Legion was slowly activating. Beside it, his most loyal followers were also slowly absorbing the nourishment of Energy and gradually awakening.
Just wait a bit more. Once all my subordinates are awake, I’ll capture all these damned intruders in one fell swoop! Then, I must interrogate them thoroughly about the current situation in the Mythical World. As for now... you want to enter the Engraved Workshop, do you? I’ll divert all my reserve Energy to the Engraved Workshop now and accelerate the activation of the Carved Golem Legion. Half an hour? Too bad for you, I only need fifteen minutes! In fifteen minutes, you will face the full might of an entire Naraku Golem Legion!
...
However, seven minutes later, Yan Yan wiped the nervous sweat from his forehead and smiled. "I’ve got it! This Rune Lock is indeed simple. Jing Fei, come and open it."
Jing Fei acted according to the command, quickly disabling a few Magic nodes. He then touched it again, and with a "CLANK," the lock opened!
Without needing any further instruction from Fang Zhou, Jing Fei was the first to open the door, stealthily entering to scout the situation.
...
「In the main crypt」
The Skeleton Mage, who was in the process of recovering its Mana, was stunned. It roared in anger, "What happened to the promised half an hour? How did they open the Rune Lock in just seven minutes?"
A Skeleton Mage is a Low Tier Undead Caster, a rank below both a Corpse Witch and a Lich. The sliver of intelligence and memory it had left was minimal, which made its thought process incredibly rigid.
"Damn it! They’ve invaded the Engraved Workshop! My Carved Golem Legion hasn’t fully activated yet! The Engraved Workshop has no defenses!"
"Foolish Dragonbone Guards, your target is in the Engraved Workshop! Kill them! Don’t let them touch those precious tools and instruments!"
...
"Lieutenant Fang Zhou! Leader! This is a gigantic Engraved Workshop with lots of bizarre machinery and over a hundred Carved Golems!" Jing Fei exclaimed, reappearing within a minute. The assassin leader’s muscles were tense; he was clearly nervous.
"The runes on their bodies are glowing! They’re... being activated!"
Over a hundred Carved Golems?
Yan Yan was taken aback and then sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.
Are you kidding me? There’s no such thing as an Apprentice-level Golem. Even if they were the lowest quality Black Iron Tier Golems, a hundred of them is no small number. To say nothing of a hundred Bronze-level Carved Golems like the ones that were guarding the passage—I wouldn’t have a clue how to fight them.
Perhaps Fang Zhou, this mysterious and powerful Undead Mage, had a solution, but their Flame Medal Adventurer Group certainly didn’t.
Just as the thought of retreating began to sprout in Yan Yan’s mind, Fang Zhou keenly picked up on a detail.
"Being activated? You mean these Golems haven’t fully activated yet? Then there’s still time! Interrupt them now!"
BOOM!
Suddenly, a loud noise erupted from behind the group. The door to the "Breeding Area" was thrown open from the inside. Seven humanoid creatures wielding giant swords rushed out.
"Dragon Bone Soldiers! No wonder I felt a stir in my bloodline! That Naraku Civilization Mage actually stole Giant Dragon Skeletons to create Undead Creatures!" the Black Gem Tiamat growled, extremely tense as it stood protectively in front of Fang Zhou.
"Alright, don’t be afraid! These are merely Bronze Middle rank Dragon Bone Soldiers. It seems they weren’t made from the skeletons of adult giant dragons. They probably just used some sub-dragon bones to make up for the numbers."
