Chapter 190 Death Guard Tower

Click!
Amid the sound of breaking, countless pieces of broken stones fell down.

Two more Death Guard statues gradually collapsed under the numerous attacks.

At the cost of being shattered, it burst out with a beam of cursed light.

The rock ants that were besieging the statue were unable to dodge and were hit by the gray-black cursed light column. Suddenly, their entire bodies gradually collapsed.

After a moment, the rock ant that had been decomposed into a mummy shook its body and tried to stand up from the ground.

But the remaining rock ants nearby did not give them this opportunity. They quickly changed the direction of attack and cleaned them out.

The strength of these transformed mummies is very weak, at most the level of ordinary soldiers of the first or second level.

Even though the rock ants are not good at close combat, they can still be easily dealt with.

The mummy fell to the ground, but was not resurrected quickly.

It turned out that at this moment, there were only three Death Guard statues left in the tomb, struggling to hold on.

In this case, with only one-fourth of the resurrection speed left, it is naturally difficult to keep up.

There are too many summoned creatures on the battlefield. The Death Guard Phantoms are at the upper hand, but the mummies are at an absolute disadvantage.

But the number of Death Guard phantoms was too small, only a little over a hundred.

The rest were mostly mummies, lacking combat power, which also resulted in the Death Guard phantom being firmly blocked among the group of summoned creatures.

There are too many creatures summoned by Mo Yu, including skeletons, crouching zombies, earth ants, stone shadow insects...

If killing is not considered and only blocking is intended, it will be difficult for the Death Guard Phantom to break through the blockade formed by the lives of the summoned creatures.

This is also the reason why the cursed light was used behind the Death Guard statue instead of continuing to summon the Death Guard phantom.

But Mo Yu was very smart. He retreated to the passage outside the mode, and the cursed light from the Death Guard statue could hardly threaten him.

Amid the continuous attacks, the last three Death Guard statues could not hold on any longer, and used up their last bit of strength to once again strengthen a group of Death Guard phantoms.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s the last bit of strength, but this batch of strengthened Death Guard phantoms is abnormally numerous, causing the number of Death Guard phantoms on the battlefield to exceed 300!

300 fourth-order rare-level soldiers, their strength is undoubtedly extremely terrifying.

The situation on the battlefield changed instantly. Ordinary summoned creatures were killed in large numbers, and the front line was suddenly in jeopardy.

The colony of rock acid ants soon encountered the impact of the phantom of the Death Guard. These rock acid ants, which had already spit out most of the acid, no longer had much ability to resist.

Under the command of the queen ant, facing the attack of the phantom of the Death Guard, they tried their best to spit out the last formic acid in their stomachs, striving to exchange one.

Elite troops such as the Rock Armored Army Ants and the Rock Armored Giant Ants began to retreat towards the entrance of the tomb.

Although the summoned creatures on the battlefield were falling at a very fast speed at this moment, the tomb guards were also suffering heavy damage.

The twelve statues have been completely destroyed, and now they have lost their most powerful resurrection ability.

Once they are killed, they will disappear quickly. On the contrary, the summoned creatures on Mo Yu's side are endless.

The summoned creatures attacked without scruples, exchanging lives for lives, causing the number of tomb guards on the battlefield to gradually decrease.

Soon, those ordinary mummies in the tomb were completely destroyed, leaving only more than two hundred phantoms of the Death Guards supporting it.

Mo Yu's summoned creatures were also killed in large numbers.

Giant rock ants and army rock ants guarded the entrance to the tomb, and a steady stream of summoned creatures came from the rear to replenish them.

At the same time, defense towers such as the Bone Decay Tower, Gravity Tower, and Earth Spear Tower were methodically consuming the power of the Death Guard phantom.

Unfortunately, defense towers such as the Skeleton Resurrection Tower and the Soul Summoning Tower did not have much effect on the corpses of the mummies, otherwise the battle would have been much easier if the corpses had been destroyed.

However, the situation has now stabilized.

The Death Guard phantoms, without their power replenishment, were no match for him at all. It would only take some time for him to completely destroy them.

Although the intelligence level of the Death Guard phantom is not high, it is vaguely aware of this point and keeps rushing towards the entrance of the tomb, trying to kill Mo Yu.

But it is doomed to be in vain.

The passage at the entrance of the tomb is already narrow, and there are defensive creatures such as the rock-armored giant ants guarding Mo Yu's side, making it difficult for them to break through.

Instead, Mo Yu took advantage of their thinking and let the queen ant command the rock-armored giant ants to release a few of them from time to time.

Salwen and Bruman, with their warriors, chopped them down to the ground in a few moves.

At this steady rate of consumption, it took more than two hours for Mo Yu to finally eliminate all the phantoms of the Death Guards in the tomb.

Bertha consciously went up to clean up the battlefield. After searching for a while, she only brought back some statues.

Mo Yu took one and found that these statues were mini versions of the Death Guard statues he had destroyed.

There are twelve in total, corresponding to the twelve destroyed statues.

Other than that, there was no other loot.

"I hope it's worth all my hard work for such a long time!" Mo Yu used the reconnaissance technique to check the properties of the statue.

【Death Guard Statue Ⅰ】

[Level]: Epic

[Effect]: It can consume 20 points of death power to transform the corpse of a creature into a mummy, which can be summoned to fight at any time.

[Attributes]: Summoning limit 0/500; Death power 0/1000;

[Skill Death Guard Descends]: It consumes 999 points of Death Power, activates the power in the statue, and transforms the mummy into a Death Guard projection, which lasts for one hour. Tip: If the power is less than 999 points, forcible use will cause the statue to break.

[Skill Death's Call]: Consumes 10 points of death power and immediately resurrects the summoned creature.

[Skill: Curse of the God of Death]: It can consume 100 points of death power, curse the opponent, and force the target to be transformed into a mummy.

[Usage Restrictions]: Territory buildings can only be placed in the territory for use.

[Introduction]: A mysterious statue with a weak power of death.

The properties of the statues are similar to those they exhibit on the battlefield.

There are twelve statues in total, all with exactly the same attributes, the only difference being the numbers in their names.

"These twelve should be a set, why are there no combo skills or something like that?" Mo Yu was a little confused.

After all, they are numbered from 1 to 12, and these kinds of grouped sets of things don’t generally have any combination attributes.

Is it because it was not placed down and the combined attribute was not triggered?
Mo Yu did not intend to verify this doubt.

Because he planned to convert these statues into defense towers now.

To be honest, the functions of these Death Guard statues are similar to those of the troop summoning towers.

In a sense, it is even worse than the Soldier Summoning Tower he has. After all, the Soldier Summoning Tower combined with the talent of the Son of the Tower can summon soldiers from anywhere.

These statues can only be placed in the territory.

I believe that if it is transformed into a defense tower and modified, its scope of application will be wider.

With this thought in mind, a glimmer of light flashed in Mo Yu's hand, and he activated his innate power.

[Hint: You spent 10000 mana points to transform the Death Guard Statue I into the Death Guard Tower I.]

[Hint: You spent 10000 mana points to transform the Death Guard Statue II into the Death Guard Tower II.]

……

The twelve statues disappeared, and twelve defense towers appeared in Mo Yu's backpack, numbered from I to XII, neatly arranged.

【Death Guard Tower I】（↑↑↑）
[Level]: Epic Level 0 (45000/10, 10 epic creature souls, random magic crystals)
[Function]: Can summon mummies to attack nearby enemies.

[Attributes]: Can summon 1 mummy per second (level 200 to 10, duration 5000 hours), 4 ammunition, 985211 recovery per minute, activity range meters, occupies grids, bound to Lord No. .

[Specialty Curse]: The mummy's attack has the power of curse, and there is a chance that the target will age rapidly.

[Characteristic Death Guard Descends]: When a mummy dies and resurrects again, there is a 5% chance of being reborn as a rare fourth-tier creature Death Guard projection. Each time it dies, the chance increases by 10%.

[Combined Characteristic Resurrection]: When there are five Death Guard Towers at the same time, the Mummy can be resurrected once immediately after death, and its combat power is increased by 10%; after that, for each additional Death Guard Tower, the maximum number of times the Mummy can be resurrected is +1.

[Introduction]: Although you can't fight, you can endure.

The twelve Death Guard Towers have exactly the same properties, only the numbers are different.

The result was not much different from what was expected. The creatures summoned by the Death Guard Tower were mostly cannon fodder.

However, these cannon fodders have a lot of lives.

When there are more than five towers, the maximum number of resurrections increases by one for each additional tower.

When the twelve towers are present, each mummy summoned can have up to eight lives, comparable to a nine-life cat demon.

Moreover, the combat power will be improved every time it is resurrected, the more it fights, the stronger it will become, and it is more likely to be directly reborn as a rare fourth-level creature.

It is foreseeable how shameless this thing will be on the battlefield.

Even though they are not very powerful and eight lives are not particularly many, their constant resurrection can easily make them be misunderstood by the enemy as being invincible.

The appearance of such an undead army on the battlefield often deals a huge blow to the morale of the other side.

"The cursed light beam ability of the statue has been swallowed up, but overall it is still good. It is another powerful summoning tower." Mo Yu nodded, quite satisfied.

While he was studying the Death Guard Tower, Bruman, Bertha and others also completed their search of the tomb.

No precious burial objects were found, nor were any other secret doors discovered.

Just as there is no wife in the wife cake, there are no burial objects of nobles in the pyramid ruins.

There are only countless mechanisms and monsters.

The tomb was very clean. After the twelve statues of the Death Guardians were destroyed, only the coffin on the platform remained.

Apart from this, there was nothing else in the tomb.

A group of people knocked and searched for a long time, but could not find any trace of the mechanism.

"What about the coffin? There must be something in the coffin!" Mo Yu felt it was unlikely.

It wouldn't be necessary to go through all the trouble just to retrieve these twelve statues, and at the cost of several elite soldiers.

The information obtained through the investigation clearly told him that there were burial objects in the ruins.

There should be no falsehood in this regard, so the only possibility is that it was not found.

Bluman shook his head. "It's empty. There's nothing in it."

"Nothing? Not even a corpse?" Mo Yu looked at Bluman and asked.

"Yes," said Bluman.

Mo Yu turned and looked at Bertha with a questioning look in his eyes.

Bertha immediately understood what Mo Yu meant, activated her innate power, and checked the situation underground.

Soon, she looked up and said, "There is still half a pyramid underground!"

Sure enough, this is not the end.

The real tomb is still far from being reached.

Unfortunately, Bertha's talent is more inclined towards mineral exploration. She cannot explore the underground building structures and passages in detail, and only has a vague idea of ​​the situation.

Otherwise, just find out where the secret passage is and you will be able to confirm the location of the entrance to the passage.

"In the tomb-robbing novels I've read, there's often a real coffin underneath a fake coffin. Could it be the same here?" Bertha expressed her opinion.

Mo Yu took a closer look at her and couldn't tell that she was actually a fan of novels.

He nodded his approval of Bertha's statement, "We can't rule out this possibility. Come on, send a few of you to see if we can carry the coffin away."

Such plots often appear in tomb-robbing novels. Art comes from life, which means that such situations probably also exist in reality.

It’s always worth giving it a try. Maybe you’ll just get lucky?
With this thought in mind, several Stef warriors stepped forward, grabbed the four sides of the coffin together, and tried to exert force.

However, their faces turned red and they were unable to shake.

The coffin seemed to be welded to the ground and could not be moved at all.

You have to know that Mrs. Ster is very strong. She can wrestle with the Minotaur and even the Leopard Warriors are inferior to her.

That doesn't make sense. It doesn't move at all. Even if it's incredibly heavy, it shouldn't be motionless.

"Look inside the coffin to see if you can find any mechanism or something?" suggested Bertha, a tomb-robbing enthusiast.

Mo Yu, on his part, was communicating with the queen ant, asking it to explore the passages in other directions.

Perhaps, this is just a side room, and the passage to the main tomb chamber is in another direction.

Under Bertha's command, the Stef warriors hammered around near the coffin, looking for the possible location of the mechanism.

The stone shadow worms also dived into the rocks, looking for possible passages.

Sure enough, they soon discovered the problem.

The bottom layer of the coffin is empty.

According to the detection of the stone shadow worm, there is a passage more than one meter wide under the coffin, which goes vertically downward for about ten meters.

Sure enough, the passage is here.

The problem now is how to open it and get down safely.

Judging from the thickness, it doesn't seem to be particularly thick, so you might want to consider just breaking it open.

"You come back first." Mo Yu waved his hand, signaling Bertha and Stef warriors to come back first.

Judging from the nature of this relic, there must be mechanisms and traps in such key locations.

So, Mo Yu changed to summoned creatures.

Two rare silver bone warriors stepped forward, entered the coffin, and pounded the bottom of the coffin with their fists.

There was a clanging sound and bone fragments flew everywhere, but the effect was not ideal.

Mo Yu changed to a larger rock-armored giant ant. Although it could not enter the coffin, its front jaws could hammer it in.

Bang, a muffled sound, still no response.

After more than ten hits, the bottom of the coffin didn't even show any deformation, and it obviously didn't sound very thick.

"Can this thing be decomposed?"

A bold idea came to Mo Yu's mind.

He put his hand on it, and as expected, he failed, which meant that this thing was still part of the pyramid ruins and he did not have the authority to decompose it.
