Chapter 1199: Chapter 901, What Were You Just Singing? Chapter 1199: Chapter 901, What Were You Just Singing? Walls, arrow towers, and neatly arranged puppets.
From the overall architecture, it feels like a military camp or a sea fortress.
Xiao Xiao shuttles among the puppets and dives into the dilapidated buildings on both sides.
Inside the dusty and dilapidated houses, scattered weapons are visible, covered with mud and moss-like plants.
The rest of the items have already rotted and mixed with the mud due to the humid environment.
Finding nothing special, Xiao Xiao flew straight out.
He met up with the two ghosts, Glenda and Bella, and headed towards the central building behind the puppets.
Upon entering the main hall, the movements of the Three Ghosts halted, their eyes filled with surprise as they looked ahead.
At the innermost position lies a moss-covered stone seat, on which reclines a tall figure dressed in decayed armor, resembling a transformed Corpse Ghost.
Just as the Three Ghosts assumed it was merely a corpse, the figure in front abruptly emitted a grade beam, like a breath.
Before any reaction, the grade beam swiftly vanished.
After a few more minutes, the beam reappeared and vanished again.
Just like breathing.
Bella gestured, and the Three Ghosts bypassed the Corpse Ghost to inspect the other rooms.
Inside were many stored weapons; after confirming no other dangers, they turned and left.
The shared vision ended here.
Wu Heng released Xiao Xiao from his body.
He began to ponder the previously shared vision in his mind.
The size and style of the puppets' armor resemble those encountered on the ship tomb, proving that both originate from the same culture.
The puppets stationed in the courtyard are better preserved than those on the ship tomb and should still be operational.
What surprised him the most was the figure in the main hall, which resembled a mummy, with scales hanging in tatters on its body, and weapons beside it encrusted with heavy rust.
And this figure miraculously displayed a grade beam every few minutes.
Wu Heng was very doubtful about the entity's current state.
Was it a transformed Corpse Ghost? Or did it use another method to survive?
He even doubted whether it still had any mobility.
But it was certain that the briefly appearing grade beam confirmed it was Level 18.
It posed little threat to him.
…
“Leader, the Tamed Beast found a building up ahead; the ruins are indeed in there,” the Dwarf Elder said excitedly.
The battleship advanced along the chasm without encountering any danger.
The Ranger's Tamed Beast also located the ruins, exciting everyone.
Wu Heng said, “Inside is a military camp with nearly a hundred puppets, each roughly the combat power of a Level 12 professional.”
The puppets have no grade beams, but their Level 12 status was judged from previous combat experience on the ship tomb.
The puppets here are identical in style, and their combat power is about the same.
Upon hearing about nearly a hundred Level 12 puppets, the joy on people's faces froze.
“I suspect this is a temporary sea fortress, and there's another enemy inside; not sure if they're still alive,” Wu Heng said, recounting the entity with the occasional grade beam.
The two elders frowned simultaneously.
According to previous assumptions, these ruins predate the unified faith by The Holy Court.
The puppets being preserved and the stone Array still functioning somewhat makes sense.
But the presence of a living person inside is hard to comprehend.
“A Corpse Ghost?” the Dwarf Elder asked, his eyes turning to Wu Heng.
Isn't it clear whether a hero Necromancer is a Corpse Ghost?
Wu Heng shook his head, “I'm not sure if it's a Corpse Ghost either.”
The Elf Elder pondered and said, “It might be possible they used some ritual to preserve their body.”
“Does your Hongwen Alliance have any records on this?” the Dwarf Elder inquired.
The Elf Elder replied, “I haven't paid attention, but I can check when we get back.”
“What's the use of checking when we return?”
Seeing the two had no clues, Wu Heng gestured for silence and said, “No need to argue about this; we should just prepare for Level 18.”
Prepare!
One member of the Hongwen Alliance said, “Leader, Elders, it's not that I doubt our strength, but we only have this one ship. If the ship suffers damage in the upcoming battle, we might get stranded on the island.”
Another added, “I think, since the underwater Array is already broken, we should return to notify the association and come back well-prepared.”
The remaining people began to discuss this.
They believe that with a hero, two elders, and so many high-level professionals, they can eventually eliminate the dangers inside.
But what if the ship is damaged?
Can so many people swim back?
The best method is to notify the association and return well-prepared.
“Shut up, just protect the ship well, there aren't that many dangers,” the Dwarf Elder barked as he turned around.
But the discussions continued.
Wu Heng glanced at everyone and said, “Don't worry, even if the ship is damaged, I can get everyone out.”
The discussions quieted down, and the member who suggested returning said, “I trust the leader, no further questions.”
“Since the Leader has spoken, I have no objections either.”
Everyone spoke one after another.
At this time, the Ranger suddenly said, “Puppets appeared near the ruins, lots of puppets.”
Everyone turned their gaze forward.
