Chapter 886, You are a fox demon
The body of a dwarf was dragged over.
He was dressed as a sailor, with several chisel-like tools hanging beside him.
The middle-aged deacon frowned slightly, "Where did you find it?"
Going deeper into the fog, the sea was filled with the wreckage of broken ships, but not a single body was seen.
Some of the intelligence obtained was also preserved by the handwriting left on the flags by the mercenaries.
After boarding the boat, they discovered a dead body.
“In the floor compartment outside, it felt like he fell down and was killed by the puppet.” replied the association member.
The deacon continued to ask, "Are all your belongings here?"
"They're all here. We've also brought over anything we found nearby." The member responded directly.
The deacon turned around and said to Wu Heng: "Everyone follows the rules in this matter."
This is to explain to myself that my subordinates will not hide anything.
Wu Heng nodded and looked carefully at the dwarf's body.
The wounds on his body had been severely rotted due to being soaked in water, and it looked like he had been dead for some time.
After a quick look, he immediately released [Talk with the Dead].
The dwarf's corpse suddenly sat up, scaring the others. They drew their swords and stepped back, their faces full of alertness.
Wu Heng asked directly: "Why are you here?"
The corpse vomited a mouthful of sea water and replied, "Come to explore this ancient tomb."
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at the deacon, who said, "They don't look like they are from the mercenary group."
Wu Heng then asked, "Tell me how you know about this ship."
The corpse paused for two or three seconds and replied, "Ron got a message saying there is such an ancient tomb under the sea. We used the water clock to explore this place. When we evacuated, I didn't escape."
Tomb robber!
In an instant, this word appeared in everyone's mind.
In other words, these tomb robbers triggered a certain characteristic of the ship, causing it to reappear on the sea.
The third question is, "What do you get here?"
The corpse continued to answer, "We salvaged a lot of burial objects, but we don't know what they were."
The sarcophagus was opened, and other compartments were also opened, and some valuable or seemingly valuable items were taken away by these people.
The tomb robbers in this world are completely different from those in the modern world.
Archaeology and collecting are not mainstream, so ancient burial objects are not that valuable. The most valuable objects are the rare objects found in the tombs.
For ordinary people, the worst rare item is also the reward corresponding to the third level of merit.
Selling a few hundred silver coins is not a problem.
Wu Heng glanced at the deacon beside him and asked him if he had any questions.
The deacon said, "Ask the others where they're going and see if you can find them!"
Wu Heng asked: "Where will your companions go after they leave?"
The corpse pondered for a moment and replied, "I should follow the clues to the next cemetery."
And a cemetery?
One last question remains.
After thinking for a while, he asked in a deep voice, "Tell me about the last tomb. Tell me what you know?"
The corpse replied, "The last tomb is the tomb of a princess. She was once very favored by the king, so she must have many burial objects."
After the five questions, the body fell back onto its back.
The other party is here, and he should have found clues to the princess's tomb.
The corpse did not mention the location of the second tomb, probably because he did not know the exact location.
"These damn guys killed so many people."
“We must catch them.”
The members cursed under their breath.
"Master Wuheng, if you don't need the body, I will take it away first and see if I can find any clues about this tomb-robbing group." The deacon said.
Wu Heng said, "You can take me away. I am of no use to you anymore."
"Okay! Roll it up."
The body was wrapped up and the deacon put it directly into the space ring.
After confirming that there was nothing else in the room that needed to be investigated, Wu Heng said, "Let's go out and see how to resolve the fog."
"it is good!"
Several people walked out of the cabin and returned to the deck.
The people guarding outside immediately came over and asked about the situation inside.
Wu Heng walked to the bow of the ship.
This ship is not a wonder, that is the murderer’s bow hanging on the bow.
The closer we got to the bow, the thicker the fog became.
You can even see black particles floating around the 'Dancing Lights'.
Walk to the bow of the ship and look at the beast's prow that is spewing smoke.
[Feiying Miasma Ship Bow (Rare Item)]
【Effect: Spray miasma.】
【Side effect: Corrosion of living beings.】
(Description: Hanging on the bow, it will spew out a miasma filled with negative energy, covering the area.)
Sure enough, the strange thing is here.
In other words, only this monster-shaped bow is the strange object that creates miasma.
Wu Heng walked over directly and used the [Mansion Technique] to conceive a lifting device, took off the bow, and put it into the space ring.
As the bow of the hideous monster disappeared, the fog began to gradually fade away.
Click~!
Violent breaking sounds continued to be heard.
The ghost ship under my feet began to make a harsh breaking sound.
"Master Wuheng, it looks like this ship can't hold out for much longer. Let's retreat first." The local deacon ran over and said.
The rest of the crew had already returned to the association's ship along the ropes.
"Go back." Wu Heng said.
As everyone left, the entire ghost ship completely broke apart.
sink to the bottom of the ocean.
Only some fragments, mossy remains, still float on the sea.
"Let's go, the fog is dissipating, let's go back first." Wu Heng looked at the sea and said directly.
The deacon nodded and shouted behind him, "Return!"
"Let's go back!" people shouted.
The others also shouted loudly with excitement.
Not only did this dangerous mission not involve any casualties, but things became surprisingly simple due to the island owner's participation.
These people were just like crew members, accompanying the group for a trip.
After returning, you will definitely get good merits.
I just hope that the merits won't be downgraded because things go too smoothly.
……
Outside the fog.
The ships guarding outside looked in surprise at the endless fog ahead.
Someone rubbed his eyes and looked carefully several times.
When he confirmed that the fog was really dissipating and the trapped ship was gradually revealed in the distance, he immediately woke up.
He turned and shouted, "The fog has disappeared. Deacon and the others succeeded."
Halala~!
A large number of people rushed out of the cabin.
Staring, I watched the fog gradually dissipate in the wind.
The remaining few ships were also filled with people, who cheered towards the distant direction.
……
Deep in the mountains, in an ancient tomb.
In the dim tomb, several tomb robbers held up illuminating stones and looked at the sarcophagus in front of them with bright eyes.
"Ron, there is a stone tablet here." One of the young men wearing glasses brought the illumination stone close to the stone tablet on one side and carefully identified the words on it.
"What does it say? Is this the princess's tomb?" Ron turned around and said, his voice echoing in the empty tomb.
The young man pushed up his glasses. He could only make out some of the words on the letter, but he could still half-guess what they said.
He said: "The princess was a fox demon who bewitched the king, causing the people to resent her and the ministers to rebel. Eventually, the kingdom was destroyed and her head was chopped off and sent back to her hometown."
"Fox people?" One of them looked over curiously.
"It's not written. It should be the fox people. I just don't know which king it was. The human race prefers fox people, but I haven't heard of this story either." Another person said.
"You really think you're an archaeological team? Hurry up and open the door and see if there are any good things inside." Someone urged.
I came here with great difficulty, not to explore some bullshit story.
The real thing is to be able to produce one or two rare items and make some money.
Several people made preparations and began to open the coffin lid.
A cold aura emanated from the sarcophagus, and everyone skillfully kept their distance.
Wait for the smoke and smell inside to dissipate, and use a few scrolls to slow down the air and clear the miasma in the air.
Several people quickly came over.
Various burial objects were placed inside.
The gorgeous cloth lost its color in an instant, and the corpse collapsed in an instant.
But there are still many funerary objects inside.
"It's been done!"
Several people showed excitement on their faces.
"So, you are here to take these burial objects?"
A person standing at the back suddenly spoke in a masculine voice, but his tone was soft and slow, like a woman.
Everyone paused what they were doing and turned back to look at the figure who was speaking.
Ron said coldly, "What are you doing? You are talking nonsense at this time."
"Nonsense?" The man narrowed his eyes and said coquettishly. His originally rough face seemed strangely tender.
Then he sighed, "I was woken up by you guys."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present changed. Even if they were still guessing a second ago, now after hearing these words, they were basically certain.
It turns out that he is from the ancient tomb. After doing it so many times, he still encountered this kind of thing.
Wow~!
Everyone frantically took out scrolls and props, trying to protect themselves.
The young man with glasses said in surprise, "You are a fox demon."
Fox demon!
The man who was flirting just now had a momentary trance in his eyes, and then his expression became serious and his tone was cold, "If you were the nobles in the hall, I would admit it if you called me a fox demon, but you guys dare to call me that."
The next second, the tomb robber fell to his knees with his head raised to the sky, and wisps of blue soul fire floated out of his mouth.
All fell to the ground.
The only one left was the man with glasses, kneeling on the ground with a look of horror on his face.
"Tell me about the outside!" The gentle male voice sounded again.
……
Holt City, Association Quarters.
Wu Heng sat at the table with his cell phone propped up on it, making a video call with Xi Lagui and Shi Yali.
Xi Lagui said: "I'm glad you're not in danger!"
After all, the fog incident was quite a big deal.
As soon as he came back, he contacted Xilagui and told the two sisters about the incident in detail.
"Do you look down on me, or do you look down on heroes?" Wu Heng asked back.
The fog does cause some difficulties for the local forces, but it does not pose any danger to me.
Those iron golems couldn't even defeat their own skeletons.
Xilagui just said "hmm" and then asked, "Have you found out who the tomb robbers are?"
"Let the local association investigate further. When I get the portrait, I'll also check Treasure Island. They have dwarfs, and I suspect they may have also been to Treasure Island." Wu Heng said after thinking for a while.
"Okay!" Sheela nodded.
Wu Heng thought for a moment and then said, "By the way, is tomb robbing illegal?"
He really didn't know whether tomb robbing was illegal in this world.
All I know is that the excavation of corpses by necromancers is listed in the terms and conditions of every country.
Think about it!
It's really unfair to treat the Necromancer.
But this rule is not surprising, as Wu Heng considers himself a decent figure among necromancers.
He also purchased a lot of corpses from the Snake Emblem Group.
Most of these corpses were dug out, with soil still in the gaps between the coffins.
A normal necromancer would definitely dig up a good corpse if he knew of one.
Xi Lagui said: "So many people have died and their minds have been disturbed, so they will definitely be investigated. Do you think these people died in vain?"
Right!
So many people died, and people on several ships showed mental disorders.
These tomb robbers will definitely be put on wanted warrants, and the wanted level may be quite high.
It depends on whether you can find detailed information.
"You're right, how can you say you can be a deacon?"
"You're talking nonsense again." Xilagui glared at him.
Wu Heng continued to ask about the Treasure Island. There was no problem there and everything was normal.
Let’s finish our business talk.
Shi Yali came up and asked, "When will you be back?"
"Let me hand it over to the deacon here, and then go back after confirming that there is no problem." Wu Heng replied with a smile.
"Then come back and have dinner with us?" Shi Yali said.
Xilagui nudged her with her elbow, signaling her not to be so blunt all the time.
Wu Heng smiled and said, "I'll go see you guys when I get back. Have you been training well at home?"
"Yes! We have already developed a training plan." Shi Yali said proudly.
"Great!" Wu Heng also clapped his hands in support.
The three chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
"Uncle, the butler is here."
As soon as I hung up the phone, Xiaoxiao flew in.
Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter!"
The door opened, and the middle-aged deacon walked in directly with a smile on his face. "Master Wu Heng, the fog has completely disappeared. The trapped ships have been brought back for treatment. Some ships have also been arranged to search the location of the ghost ship before to confirm whether there are other clues."
Wu Heng was the flag bearer and personally participated in this operation.
There's nothing wrong with talking to him about the progress.
"Just you handle it."
The deacon continued, "The portrait of the tomb robber has been drawn, and people have been assigned to investigate. We have cleaned the patterns on the puppet's armor and helmet and restored its original appearance. It is just right for you to go to the Hongwen Society to confirm the time and kingdom of the tomb."
Any ancient tombs and ruins discovered in various places must be reported to the Hongwen Society.
If the information is important, it will also be counted as a merit.
"Okay, leave it to me." Wu Heng said with a smile.
All the collected puppet fragments were taken out, and Wu Heng directly put them into the space ring.
The deacon smiled and said, "This time, thanks to the help of the island owner, we were able to do it so smoothly."
“Of course! Even if it didn’t happen in the Emerald Sea, we can still ask for help from Treasure Island if we encounter any difficulties.” Wu Heng said directly.
The deacon stood up again and bowed, "Thank you very much, Island Master."
"You're welcome."
The two chatted in the room for a while, and the other party explained the rest of the matter.
After confirming that there is no problem here.
Wu Heng left the city and returned on the ghost train.
……
Headquarters, leader's meeting room.
The three ruling leaders of the headquarters sat around the magnificent round table.
Sword of Justice - Hadarai.
Holy Light Arbitration - Saidu.
Stone Hammer - Bruno.
The other two leaders, Lilith is in Treasure Island, and the leader of Hongwenhui is in the Vatican Cathedral.
Everyone in this headquarters is busy with the affairs of Wu Heng and the Holy See.
From the moment he entered the room, the religious leader 'Saiyidu' had a cold expression and sat in the chair without saying a word.
Hadalai glanced at him, then his eyes fell on the dwarf leader Bruno, and said, "Bruno, you investigated the Treasure Island, so tell us about it."
Bruno spoke directly, "There is no problem with Treasure Island. There is no so-called undead experimental base, nor any related experiments, or an environment for cultivating undead power."
The religious leader's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Bruno, have you checked it carefully?"
