Chapter 693 Pick it up, Pauper
Out of the Gods’ Ruins, the periphery.
Ever since they entered the Canyon of Death, Ye Xiao, Zi Guang, Yue Su and Bei all felt that something wasn’t right.
Particularly after opening the secret door and venturing into the ‘guiding temple’ which was said to be inspired by the legendary ‘God of Wisdom’, his two extraordinary companions, Wo Gua and Gu Deng, had left for good. Four days later, when there was no news of them, they felt even more uneasy. With their strength, unless it was some sort of special terrain, no one would be able to kill them in the entire Tong Tian Tower unless he was Zhi Zun. However, Zhi Zun had been in closed-door seclusion for nearly a month. It was impossible for her to know that someone had sneak into the Gods’ Ruins, and this operation was very secret, so no one knew about it.
Wo Gua and Gu Deng, they worked together. Even if they met an ancient demon beast, they were believed that they would be able to escape unscathed even if they weren’t its match.
The two of them also knew that it was impossible for them to obtain the benefits of Gods’ Ruins.
Without any external interference, not only would they not die in battle, they didn’t even show any selfishness, but the two of them had strangely disappeared.
What did this mean?
Could it be that they had been imprisoned by some mechanism, or had violated some sort of law and been killed by the ruling power? If not, why were they three days late when they agreed to come out in one day? Should the people outside continue to enter or leave? The longer one stayed outside of the Gods’ Ruins, the more dangerous it was!
Except Zhi Zun who had been in secluded meditation for an unknown period of times, the remnants of the destructive power that remained after the war between the Gods continued to interact with each other, transforming into an unfathomable sight.
Staying in this area for too long was a very unwise act.
There are no more demon beasts today. Even the chirping of insects has disappeared.
Zi Guang let out a slight sigh.
Looks like danger is nigh. Captain, make your decision! Shall we go in or leave?
We’ve waited for three days, and we’ve done our best.
Yue Su was also aware that the surroundings were completely silent. It was deathly silent, and her heart was in a mess.
Agreed.
A quiet voice came from Bei, expressing its stance.
If it’s not a powerful enemy, then it’s a force of destruction that has swept through this place. If not for my sensing error, the time needed to arrive at the danger would have been less than ten minutes.
Zi Guang pointed towards the horizon. In the sky, there were several beams of light that shot out from the clouds like a whale absorbing water. Along with the change in the sky, hundreds of tornadoes appeared everywhere for no reason. Thunder exploded in the distance, and from time to time, a spatial rift would appear, devouring any objects it touched.
Even if I had to face difficulties and abandon my teammates, I am not willing. Their lives？just leave it to God!
Ye Xiao took out a tortoise shell.
His fingers tapped gently on it.
He knocked three times.
He then slowly took out an ancient coin and let it rotate on the tortoise shell.
When the ancient coin stopped moving, he picked up the fallen coin and carefully examined the patterns of the coin and the turtle shell. A thin, diagonal cross was a sign of this.
After Ye Xiao and Zi Guang looked at each other, their expressions changed and they shook their heads.
This was the sign of great danger.
Retreat quickly.
Ye Xiao no longer persisted in his decision. Although his divination talent could only be used once every three months, it was very accurate. Although he could not determine the consequences of this ominous omen, staying here to wait for Wo Gua and Gu Deng would be extremely stupid. It was very likely that the Zhi Zun had already received the news and had ended his seclusion and was in the midst of coming over.
When they left, Yue Yang came out of a tornado and looked at the sky where the four of them had left with pity.
If he had the strength, he believed that these four fellows wouldn’t be able to escape.
It was not difficult to kill one of them, but it would be tricky to kill all. After all, these guys were all frightened birds, and once they appeared, they would immediately split up and escape.
Yue Yang thought about it again and again and decided to endure it for the time being.
He pretended that he didn’t know that they had been here, and that he was looking for the next opportunity to kill them.
Right now, he was going to enter the guiding temple and kill those trapped in there, Wo Gua and Gu Deng. With the road map that Queen Night had indicated, the machine-operated guiding temple was not that danger. For the two mercenaries of Heaven Realm who were trapped in the cave, Wo Gua and Gu Deng, he would use them to test his sword and test the might of his red sword!
Inside the guiding temple.
To be exact, Wo Gua and Gu Deng had yet to truly reach the main hall of the guiding temple.
They had wasted too much of their time in the endless secret passages, traps and the Ancient Evil Spirits that appeared from time to time.
One secret passage after another that would never end, Evil Spirit Tombs that would never end, rune and crystal columns that one would never be able to understand … Strange and unfathomable things, since entering the secret door, not uncommon, Wo Gua and Go Deng, have become numb. Sometimes, when they went down a secret passage, they found themselves in front of a vast ocean; sometimes, when they passed through a tomb, they found a hot volcano behind it. Sometimes, as they walked, they would suddenly disappear and the road would block them. Other traps would activate and bring the intruder into the endless abyss. Below the abyss, there were endless Evil Spirits of ancient times waiting for the intruder.
These ancient Evil Spirits could never truly be killed.
If they were smashed to smithereens, they would immediately recover completely.
An evil soul without any rational consciousness, perpetually bearing the curse, that, apart from crying and repenting, instinctively shreds the intruder into pieces and becomes its companion.
What the hell! No wonder the martial artists of Tong Tian Tower didn’t try to enter! This isn’t a place that can be conquered by force!
Wo Gua like a giant had suffered a lot in the secret passageway. He was an offensive warrior. Whether it was warbeasts or battle skills, his focus was on strength and attacks. He was not the only one who would fight in such a special environment. If he did not possess the strength of a peak fourth level Heaven stage master, he would have long since turned into food for the countless Ancient Era’s Evil Spirits that could never be killed.
Calm down, you’ve never heard of it. The greater the difficulty, the greater the reward?
If it was easy, would the guiding shrine still have treasures left for us?
Instead of Wo Gua, Gu Den is better at fighting in the special environment, and I believe he would have been more relaxed if he hadn’t been dragged down by Wo Gua.
Perhaps there is no guiding shrine at all. That is a lie. Even if we roamed around here for a lifetime, we wouldn’t be able to find it!
Wo Gua was complaining.
However, it was impossible for him to give up now.
It was not easy for him to make it here. If he didn’t get anything out of it, he definitely wouldn’t go out.
Did the time already exceed the agreement with Captain Ye Xiao? That was no problem at all. Besides, they were already late for their return. Besides, they might not even make it back the same way they came …
After passing by a rune crystal pillar that no one could understand, Wuden and Gu Den, at the end of the secret passage, saw a huge tomb.
Endless corpse-worms and skeletons were inside the tomb, as well as the Stone Ghost Bat and the ancient cacodemon.
Even though they knew it was all in there, they still didn’t want to give up searching.
Perhaps there was a secret passage leading to the guiding shrine.
So many tombs had been ransacked. If they missed this, they would go crazy if they missed the real secret pathway that led to the guiding shrine! Wo Gua and Gu Deng suppressed the urge to vomit. They summoned their warbeasts and slaughtered all the monsters here. Even those ancient cacodemon that could never be killed were driven away by the wild grass dance song of the plant warbeast.
Search carefully, the result is depressing.
The tomb was completely empty. Other than the sarcophagus, there was also the sarcophagus …
The other exit of the teleportation circle was the endless desert, filled with yellow sand and filled with raging winds. It was another unit world.
Roar! I swear that once I find a treasure, it will be a small piece of magic crystal. I will leave in satisfaction and never find anything to guide me to the guiding shrine.
The Wo Gua roared in anger. He couldn’t take it anymore and wanted to leave, but he couldn’t bear to leave the mountain of treasures empty-handed.
Let’s continue!
Gu Deng’s face was gloomy. He held in his breath, determined to find the guiding shrine.
When they returned to the secret path, a small piece of extremely pure magic crystal appeared in front of them, giving off a faint blue glow.
Wo Gua happily picked it up and cheered,
Sure enough, there’s a treasure. Heavens, although this magic crystal doesn’t have much energy, it’s very pure. It’s simply the most pure magic crystal I’ve ever seen in my life.
The guiding shrine really does exist. Quickly, let’s set off. We have to loot the guiding shrine and take down all the treasures. The Gods’ Ruins, all the treasures, god blood and martial souls, all belong to us!
Gu Deng not showing any sign of excitement, however, Gu Deng revealed a cold look.
Wo Gua, there were no magic crystals just now.
Wo Gua was confused. Wasn’t this clearly showing off the magic crystal?
Gu Deng snorted coldly and said,
Someone is following us …
Just now, he heard everything we said. That’s why he threw down the magic crystals and told us to retreat.
In your dreams, no matter who it is, you must not leave to guiding shrine. No one can let me leave.
Wo Gua looked around, searching for hidden enemies.
Who was following him?
Was it an enemy, a friend?
At the corner of the secret passageway, a female giant with a head full of flames like a raging inferno strode over.
Her strength was enough to cause the corners of Wo Gua and Gu Deng’s eyes to twitch. She was a heaven stage level fifth.
Wo Gua and Gu Deng do almost the same thing, and that’s fast.
He retreated back into the enormous tomb like an arrow. It was a foolish act to fight this female giant, who was at the fifth level of Heaven stage, in a relatively narrow secret passageway. Even those who were known for their brute force felt a chill in their hearts when they saw the explosive power of the other party. This female giant was very similar to him. She was most likely an attack-type heaven stage expert. Fighting her head on was exactly what her opponent was good at!
If you hadn’t said it earlier, you guys wouldn’t have requested so much and casually picked up a magic crystal and left. That would have allowed me to throw a few more magic crystals so that you can return satisfied. You don’t have to fight so hard.
When Wo Gua and Gu Deng returned to the huge tomb, they found a man wearing a platinum level strange mask. It was unknown when he had been waiting for them.
Ding.
Another pure crystal flew out from his hand.
It bounced to the feet of Wo Gua.
The masked guy’s eyes shone with a taunting glint, as if he was saying: Pick it up, beggar!
Wo Gua’s face darkened, full of anger.
Gu Deng sucked in a breath of cold air. So the magic crystal was thrown by this masked guy, what did that mean? After he heard the trembling of Wo Gua, he first threw a magic crystal outside, played with the Wo Gua and then sneakily returned, waiting for him and the Wo Gua inside the tomb. There was only one secret passage, and he could freely come and go in front of her, making her completely unaware of him … Ignoring all else, just with this ability to conceal himself, he could not be underestimated!
