Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 34 Chapter34-Stone Statues in the Underground Tunnel

"Hurry!"

"Everyone, get down into the tunnel!"

"Move all the good equipment out!"

Upon hearing about the numerous Legendary Items in the underground tunnel, Darklord was driven into a frenzy.

Not only were these Legendary Items of excellent quality, but they were also of a high level.

Just one of them could fetch a hefty price in the auction house!

Blue Sea, upon hearing Darklord's words, quickly stepped up to stop him.

"No! The scouts have only explored the first half of the tunnel. No one knows what dangers lie ahead! It's too dangerous to let a large force in right now!"

Darklord glanced at Blue Sea and disdainfully retorted,

"I didn't expect that Blue Sea, the leader of the NO.1 guilds in the world, would be such a timid and cautious person. Fine, if you don't send your people, I'll send mine!"

After speaking, he ordered his subordinates to enter the tunnel.

The members of Darklord's guild, following his instructions, all poured into the tunnel.

Blue Sea and Adam watched them, speechless.

"This guy really isn't afraid of death," Adam commented, crossing his arms.

Blue Sea was somewhat helpless, saying,

"He might be affected by the rain's Evil. He can't listen to reason right now... But it's not our problem. If he's courting death, I don't need to stop him."

In the underground tunnel.

Darklord and his men walked for a while and quickly found the humanoid stone statues that the scouts had mentioned earlier.

These statues, resembling real people, were diverse and lifelike.

Each statue had a different pose, but all of them looked like they were defending themselves against an attack, their faces full of surprise and fear.

"Young Master, these statues seem like petrified humans."

"We suspect there are mechanisms here that can petrify people."

A scout walked up to Darklord, cautiously reminding him.

Darklord waved his hand dismissively, a careless expression on his face.

"This is The Devil's relic, it's normal to have some unusual residual power. We just need to be more careful... You all hurry up and move! Take all the glowing equipment and items on the ground!"

His subordinates promptly responded, "Yes, Young Master!"

Due to the sudden influx of people from Darklord's guild into the tunnel, the two scouts Adam had sent were unable to prevent them from taking the equipment on the ground.

"We can't just take these! It's too reckless! What if we trigger a mechanism..."

Just as one of the scouts from the Genesis Guild was about to warn them, a rumbling noise echoed throughout the area.

The entire underground relic began to tremble.

The eyes of the stone statues, which had been petrified, suddenly emitted a strange red glow!

The next second, all of the statues began to move.

The players closest to the statues were instantly pierced by the statues' arms.

They died without even having time to scream.

"Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!"

One of the more rational players in the group quickly realized the problem with the statues and shouted out loud.

Darklord was also taken aback.

He knew that the treasures of The Devil wouldn't come easily, and there were bound to be surprises.

However, he didn't expect that they hadn't really entered the underground relics yet, only wandering around the periphery, and had already encountered an accident.

"Counterattack!"

Darklord's class was a knight, a type that could tank and attack, but as the leader, he had no intention of leading by example.

Instead, he hid behind his many subordinates, watching his guild members rush to confront the statues.

These statues had unknown levels and attributes.

The average player level in their forties couldn't even withstand a round in front of these statues, they were essentially killed by one-hit.

The statues behaved like wild beasts, ruthlessly tearing the players apart without a shred of hesitation.

The tunnel echoed with the terrified screams of the players and the sound of bodies being ripped apart.

Darklord watched the statues, his heart filled with fear, anger, despair, and a variety of emotions.

His breathing became rapid, and his eyes gradually turned red.

The Evil that had entered his body when rainwater fell on him earlier was taking effect at this moment.

However, Darklord himself was not aware of this.

Meanwhile, above ground.

Blue Sea and Adam also noticed that something was wrong.

"It seems like there are screams coming from below?" Adam turned to Blue Sea and said.

Blue Sea nodded.

He had heard it very clearly:

"It seems that Darklord's team has encountered an accident... We need to go down and help them. We can't let his entire guild be annihilated."

Adam laughed nonchalantly, "Why should we bother? Let them all die; it will make things easier for us."

Blue Sea shook his head,

"They have already learned their lesson, completely ignoring them wouldn't be good for us either. Everyone knows our two guilds are cooperating with him. If we sit by and watch them die, it will definitely damage our guilds' reputation in the future."

"Moreover, the Ancient Parchment is still in Darklord's hands. If we really push him to the edge and he refuses to give it up, we won't be able to open The Devil's treasure."

After thinking for a while, Adam felt that Blue Sea had a point.

Therefore, the two of them each led their guild members into the tunnel.

Although the statues in the tunnel were very formidable, they were gradually defeated by the high-level players from the two guilds and reduced to dust.

The red glow in Darklord's eyes gradually dimmed and returned to normal.

Adam, who hadn't seen his red eyes earlier, scolded Darklord,

"I told you not to come down casually. If we waited for the scouts to figure out the situation below, then sent people down to defeat them one by one, we wouldn't have lost so many people."

In Adam's heart, his disdain for Darklord only grew.

Darklord was impatient and lacked the strength to achieve great things.

Unusually, Darklord didn't retort.

He just glared at Adam threateningly without saying much.

He didn't even bother to check the casualty count of his subordinates and moved forward like a walking corpse.

This situation left Blue Sea and Adam somewhat perplexed.

"What's going on?" Blue Sea asked, looking puzzled.

"Did he get scared silly? Really? It's just a game..." Adam was also very curious.

Darklord completely ignored the others' gazes.

He pushed through the crowd and headed towards the interior of the tunnel.

This was somewhat unexpected for Blue Sea and Adam.

Seeing they couldn't stop Darklord, Blue Sea furrowed his eyebrows.

After much hesitation, he still gave an order to his guild members:

"Go, follow him! We must not let him out of our sight... If the Ancient Parchment on him gets lost, then all our efforts in the past two months would be in vain!"
