"The mausoleum behind me is called the Mausoleum of Death Row Prisoners, also known as the Mausoleum of Living Prisoners.
After a famous king died, he brought many prisoners with him. However, these prisoners didn't die in the mausoleum. They survived. As time passed, they even gave birth to descendants in the mausoleum and created an underground world in the mausoleum. However, due to the magic barrier, they couldn't come out of the mausoleum.
"In the mausoleum, the descendants of the prisoners are divided into tribes. What you have to do is enter the mausoleum and become a core member of any tribe. You have to lead the tribe through a trial left behind by a creator. Then, they will be able to come out of the mausoleum and obtain freedom. You will also obtain the qualifications to enter the deeper parts of the World Sea.
If your performance is outstanding, you will obtain the item that I mentioned to alleviate the monster siege. You will also obtain additional rewards, "the skeleton continued.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked. No one expected that there were so many tribes living in this huge underwater mausoleum.
"In the underground world of the mausoleum, there are many tribes living there. However, it is impossible for a team to lead a tribe. There will only be one adventurer leader in a tribe. After leading the tribe to complete the trial, the adventurer's team will pass my test and obtain the possible rewards that I mentioned before.
Other adventurers who join the same tribe will also pass the test. However, other than obtaining the qualifications to enter the deeper parts of the World Sea, there will be no additional rewards.
Here, I have to make it clear that everyone who enters can only join one tribe. After joining a tribe, you can't change your tribe. Before the leader of a tribe dies, the leader of the tribe can't change his decision. "
The skeleton guard then added some rules of the underground world of the mausoleum. When many people heard this, they immediately felt that this test wasn't easy. In the underground world, what awaited them might be a bloody storm.
The players who could arrive here first were very powerful. If they could become the leader of a tribe, they would definitely try their best to do so. After all, only the leader of a tribe could obtain additional rewards after passing the test. However, if they became the leader of a tribe, they might become the target of others. In a situation where there were many experts and the number of tribes was limited, this situation was inevitable.
If they didn't become the leader of a tribe, they wouldn't be able to obtain additional rewards. If they became the leader of a tribe, they would be in danger of death.
Some player teams had already begun to consider whether they should become the leader of a tribe after entering the underground world of the mausoleum.
"What a strange test."
Chen Mo's interest was piqued after hearing the Skeleton Guard's words.
He had thought of many possibilities, but he had never expected that the test would be in such a manner.
However, it had to be said that this was a very good test.
Although the test had yet to begin, passing this test would not only test a player's strength, but it would also test a player's leadership and commanding ability. If one only focused on combat power, it would be very difficult to pass the test, not to mention obtaining additional rewards.
"Excuse me, it will take a lot of time for us to enter the underground world of the tomb and become the leader of the tribe. If we want to lead the tribe through the trial, we will also need a lot of time. However, we don't have that much time right now. If there are no accidents, the second stage of the monster siege will begin in a few days."
The Skeleton Guard's assessment was good, but Chen Mo stepped forward and asked a crucial question.
"Yeah."
"Indeed."
As soon as Chen Mo said this, many people immediately felt that this was the case.
This test would take at least one or two days to complete. It might even take a few days. If a few days passed and the second stage of the monster siege appeared, even if they passed the test and obtained the qualifications to enter the depths of the World Sea, it would be meaningless.
If they couldn't stop the monster siege before the second stage, it would be almost impossible to stop the third monster siege.
Currently, even if they couldn't stop the second stage of the monster siege, they had to at least delay the appearance of the second stage. Otherwise, the expedition mission wouldn't be successful.
"You don't have to worry too much about this. This situation has long been predicted by the Creator.
When the Creator left the trial for the tribes in the underground world, he also left a message telling them that only when adventurers appear and lead them through the trial can they obtain freedom.
So, when you enter the underground world and find those tribes, I believe that no matter which tribe you go to, they will welcome you.
Of course, I'm not in the underground world, so I don't know the specific situation inside. Maybe there will be accidents, but generally speaking, it won't be wrong.
As for the issue of time, you don't have to worry about it. I have the Divine Artifact 'Time Ring'. Using the Time Ring, I can control the time within an area. After you enter the underground world of the tomb, I will use the Time Ring to change the time inside to ten to one. Ten days inside is equivalent to one day outside. However, controlling the time inside for ten days is already the limit of the Time Ring. Once ten days have passed, any player team that is still unable to lead their tribe through the trial will be eliminated and unable to come out. They can only leave after dying in the underground world. "
The Skeleton Guard said this and shook the ring in his hand that was shining with a faint gray light to reassure everyone.
Divine Artifact Ring!
The surrounding players, including Chen Mo, Blackbeard, and the others, looked at the ring in the Skeleton Guard's hand in shock.
The players here were all experts, but many of them weren't even sure if there were any Divine Artifacts in the game. Even Chen Mo only confirmed the existence of Divine Artifacts after entering the historical ruins. However, in the historical ruins, only replicas of Divine Artifacts appeared.
But the Skeleton Guard in front of them actually had a Divine Artifact Ring!
Looking at the gray ring on the Skeleton Guard's white bone finger, many people's eyes shone with greed.
A ring that could control time. This was a real game. Think about it, if they got this ring and sped up the time in a place by ten times, then they would level up for ten days in the underground world while only one day passed outside. This way, it wouldn't take long for their level to be far above others.
Although they knew that even if they got the Time Ring, there might be other restrictions on the Time Ring that prevented them from doing what they wanted, the Time Ring's ability to control time was still very useful. Moreover, other than controlling time, the Time Ring might have other powerful attributes.
After all, this was a Divine Artifact Ring. It couldn't possibly have only one attribute. Controlling time should be one of its attributes.
Everyone wanted a Divine Artifact like the Time Ring. However, even if they had many companions around them, no one dared to make a move against the Skeleton Guard.
The Skeleton Guard was the examiner of the super quest, the Expedition Quest. It fearlessly said that it had a Divine Artifact Ring. If anyone dared to go up and snatch it, they would definitely be courting death.
With the Expedition Quest on them, although they wanted the Time Ring, no one was too hot-headed.
"Then, if we want to get an external reward, what do we have to do?" Someone put aside the temptation of the Divine Artifact Ring and asked about the possible additional rewards.
Many people looked at the Skeleton Guard with concern.
"I won't say the specifics. I can only remind you that the first to lead the tribe through the trial might not necessarily get an additional reward."
The Skeleton Guard said calmly. The surrounding players couldn't help but mutter.
From the Skeleton Guard's words, it seemed that passing the trial quickly wasn't the most important thing. The focus of this trial was on other aspects.
"Alright, I'll stop talking about the trial here. You will need to explore the underground world for the rest.
Stand in front of me. I will teleport you into the tomb. "
The Skeleton Guard didn't explain any further. It stretched out a finger and pointed to the ground in front of it. Seeing this, the surrounding players quickly found a spot in the open space in front of it and stood there.
There were only a little over a thousand players here. Standing together didn't take up much space. Over a thousand players quickly stood in front of the Skeleton Guard.
When everyone was ready, the Time Ring on the Skeleton Guard's hand emitted a dazzling grey light. When this grey light appeared, many people muttered. This Divine Artifact Ring really did have other attributes.
The grey light swept over everyone. Everyone only felt their vision blur. Then, they appeared in an ancient stone hall.
The stone hall was spacious and grand. There were many carvings on the surrounding walls. At the end of the hall was a thick and luxurious coffin. It seemed like this was the tomb where the king was buried.
However, this was obviously not the underground world. The underground world seemed to be outside this mausoleum hall. After checking around and not finding anything valuable, they walked out from the side door of the hall.
"Damn!
It really is the underground world! "
However, when everyone walked out of the tomb, they were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.
The outside of the mausoleum's main hall should have only been soil, but it had already been dug out into a spacious area. This place was like a huge underground cavern. Every so often, there would be a large stone pillar more than ten meters tall that supported the soil above, preventing it from falling.
This was the bottom of the sea. If the soil above fell, they would die.
According to the Skeleton Guard, this underground world was surrounded by a magic barrier. Even if the soil fell, the people in the underground world wouldn't be able to leave. They could only drown to death.
Although they were in an unfamiliar underground world, it wasn't that everyone couldn't see anything. On the soil above their heads, they could see a piece of jade that was faintly emitting light. It prevented the surroundings from being completely dark.
… …
The first thing was even worse.
