Chapter 619: Chapter 338: Tomb of the Grim Reaper_2

Unfortunately, the experience cap and the attack increase limit for different scarecrows are common. This means that players who have already maxed out their experience in Dawn City won’t be able to gain any additional experience by clearing away other scarecrows in different cities.

Next, while their real bodies are in the Star Spirit World, Mu You and Lin Xue quickly max out their scarecrow experiences.

Add to that all the experience books received as City Lord salaries over the past seven days, and his current experience level is: Level 16 (43120/81920).

There’s still about forty thousand to go until he levels up. This shows that the experience granted by the scarecrow is just a drop in the bucket. The main way to level up in the future will still be the daily City Lord salaries, combined with the accumulated experience cards used at appropriate opportunities to grind the monsters.

Noon arrives quickly, and Mu You, Lin Xue, and Shadow Wolf are fully equipped and ready to go.

Before setting off, Mu You teleports to the Vampire’s Burial and retrieves the bodies of Vivian and Grandma Lin Xue.

Next, they can summon two legendary fighters at any time, which is their biggest weapon.

However, as soon as Mu You brings back the two bodies in an ice coffin, he receives some bad news from Lin Xue.

"In Grim Reaper’s Tomb, the power of the bodies might not be usable..."

"What?" Mu You is stunned.

"To enter Grim Reaper’s Tomb, it requires using a scythe to open the entrance, and the process would automatically devour all the souls in the scythe..." Lin Xue explains.

The first step to control bodies is to infuse large amounts of Soul Points into the body, bringing about a ’revival’.

However, on the Grim Reaper’s turf, all the Soul Points will be consumed upon entry, cutting off directly their source of strength, unless they can gather enough Soul Points temporarily within the Grim Reaper’s Tomb.

"Take it anyway, just in case," Vivian suddenly speaks from Mu You’s shoulder.

Vivian looks at Lin Xue after she finishes speaking, "Your grandmother was, after all, one of the inheritors of the Pactress lineage. She once tried to find Grim Reaper’s Tomb, but she was too caught up with various matters in her lifetime and never found the opportunity. This time, you should take her in for a tour. It could be counted as fulfilling her wish."

After hearing this, Lin Xue is stunned for a moment. After some thought, she doesn’t refuse, and nods, "Alright."

[You have arrived in the Dark City.]

Ten minutes later, the trio appears in Lin Xue’s residence in Dark City.

Just like the description in the text, the Dark City is indeed a city of eternal night. Thick darkness shrouds the city, with a faux ’starry sky’ above, and the city is brightly lit and bustling, exuding the scenery of Sleepless City.

The trio doesn’t have time to admire the scenery here. They leave the city immediately after appearing and rush to the Grim Reaper’s Tomb under the guidance of Lin Xue.

Mu You initially thought that the grand Grim Reaper’s Tomb should definitely be constructed in a majestic location, similar to the Vampire’s Burial in Foggy Mountain, which set various barriers for common people and simultaneously filled with mystery and a sense of terror which deterred people from looking directly at it.

However, upon reaching the destination, Mu You realizes he’s drastically misunderstood.

Lin Xue has led them to an old, abandoned mass grave filled with tall wild grass, bones of humans and beasts, and garbage everywhere. Calling it a dump wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

"Are you sure this is the Grim Reaper’s Tomb?"

Mu You looks suspiciously at the mound in front of him.

The target place that Lin Xue finally points out is this unimpressive mound of soil in front of them. If it’s not for the stele standing in front of this mound, he wouldn’t be able to recognize this as a tomb.

"Yes, this is where the scythe ultimately pointed us to,"

Lin Xue says, "But, this should just be a teleportation entrance. The real tomb may be somewhere else...according to the final task’s instructions, as long as I stick the scythe in front of the stele, the entrance will appear. However, we still need to wait for the action of the other competitor. The entrance can only be opened when the artifacts of us two are activated simultaneously."

"Oh?"

Mu You steps forward to take a closer look.

The edges of the stele before the tomb have been weathered and are somewhat damaged, clearly having existed for countless years. There aren’t any words or symbols on the stele, but at the centre, there’s a vague design engraved.

Mu You scrutinizes it and realizes the pattern is of a person wearing a black robe. The entire person is shrouded within the large robe, the left hand trailing a chain, and the right hand holding a scythe.

In front of the shadow, there’s a person kneeling. The person in the design pulls out the soul of the man using the chain, while the scythe in the other hand cuts towards the soul...

Upon seeing this design, Mu You becomes more confident that Red Sleeve must be another Pactress inheritor.

Soul Hook and Soul Cut Scythe, these are the standard weapons of the Grim Reaper, now divided among his two inheritors!

"So, Red Sleeve will arrive here shortly after?" Mu You asks Lin Xue.

"I’m not sure, the task only guided me to this place, there may be other entrances..." Lin Xue shakes her head.

"I see..."

Mu You pauses to think, takes out the shard of the City of the Eternal Night map from his ring and looks at the arrow on its back.

The arrow is pointing unwaveringly in one direction without any sign of deviation.

In fact, Mu You checked as soon as he arrived at the Dark City, and the direction is the same.

Which means at this time, the other shards should be in places far away, at least there are no shards nearby Dark City.
