Chapter 49 - Blood Raven
“Crack crack crack…”
The heavy doors outside the dim tomb creaked open once more.
Through the swirling dust, Jiang Cheng stepped into The Tomb of Blood Raven.
Inside the gloomy burial chamber, before Jiang Cheng stretched a corridor of utter darkness, seeming to descend into an abyss without end.
The air carried the scent of ancient rotting wood.
The entire tomb chamber was eerie.
Below the corridor, it felt as though something could emerge at any moment.
Most players would lack the courage to proceed in such a situation.
But Jiang Cheng was fearless, striding directly down the corridor.
“Peng…”
In the pitch-black corridor where he couldn’t see his own hand in front of his face, Jiang Cheng occasionally stepped on some skulls. He paid no heed and directly crushed them with his foot.
He only kept walking forward. Rhythmic sounds could be heard around him from time to time, rustling, as if something was following behind him.
This kind of sound was like a severed hand crawling at his feet, but Jiang Cheng acted like he didn’t hear it.
It wasn’t until half an hour later that a faint light appeared before him.
After enduring endless darkness, the sudden light might momentarily blind a person.
That thing behind him wanted to take advantage of this moment to launch a sneak attack, but unfortunately…Jiang Cheng was a skeleton.
“Clang!”
The blood-red cloak fluttered!
Turning around, he swung his blade down!
“Splat!”
A burst of blood erupted before him, splattering across his entire body.
Then, all the blood flowed into the Blood Hell Frost Sword in his hand!
“–11756!”
A terrifying amount of damage appeared.
“Killed Blood Hand in the tomb chamber, gained 500 Evolution Points, 500 experience.”
“Ding…”
A crisp sound echoed from the ground.
“A gem?” Jiang Cheng’s heart stirred as he picked up a blood-red gem from a piece of dried bone.
【Blood Stone】
Overview: A gem that can be embedded, increasing Blood Drain by 1%.
Jiang Cheng casually threw it into his cloak.
After evolution, the carrying capacity of his cloak increased.
Previously, he could carry up to 20 bone arrows, now he could carry 30.
Some special items and potions, small objects, could also be stored.
This cloak was equivalent to adding 30 slots to his inventory.
The only downside was that he couldn’t store common items, such as equipment, skill books, and so on.
After killing Blood Raven, he would need to enhance the cloak and see if any special effects could be produced. It was also time to level up his skills.
“Buzz…”
As he passed through the corridor and entered The Tomb of Blood Raven, what greeted his eyes was an ancient temple.
Many oil lamps suddenly lit up on the walls.
“Roar…”
“You severed my hand!”
In the dim yellow tomb chamber, a series of mournful voices sounded.
“You lowly Skeleton, how dare you!”
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh…”
108 arrows turned into a rain of arrows, covering an area of about ten meters around him!
Blood Raven’s unique skill, Thousand Arrows!
If it were before, Jiang Cheng might have had to dodge this move.
But now, after evolving, he didn’t need to worry.
With a tug of his bones, he swung the Blood Hell Frost Sword towards the rain of arrows.
Blood Hell Ice Slash!
A horizontal slash!
Jiang Cheng quickly stepped back, retreating behind the ice wall.
“Ding!”
108 ice pillars quickly formed, connecting into an ice wall that blocked Jiang Cheng.
“Ding ding ding ding…”
One hundred and eight arrows shot into the ice wall condensed from one hundred and eight ice pillars, making a dense ringing sound.
Then,
“Boom!”
The ice wall shattered, smashing all the arrows to pieces.
And Jiang Cheng had already spotted Blood Raven standing in front of the circular tomb chamber.
