"Open!"
Lin Zhigang grabbed the door knocker and pulled with all his might. The door creaked. Cultivation at Martial Condensation Realm Level Five showed its power at this moment. Originally, he would not have been able to open the door with his physical strength alone. However, as he channeled his True Yuan, his arms began to generate Divine Power.
"Creak, creak …"
The door of the underground palace first opened a gap, then the gap widened. When it was as wide as a person's head, the adventurers became excited, ready to rush in at any time. If it was just a little wider, they would be able to jump over Lin Zhigang and rush in to get the good stuff. As for Lin Zhigang who was struggling to open the door, let him continue to pull it.
"You guys are shameless."
Before the door was fully opened, the adventurers were ready to rush in, not caring that Lin Zhigang was using all his strength to pull the door open. Seeing this, Du Xue was so angry that she started cursing. She had wanted to maintain her image as a lady, but now she could not stand it anymore.
"Go!"
As soon as Du Xue finished cursing, a few male adventurers rushed in without a care. They jumped up and jumped over Lin Zhigang's head. Their bodies slightly tilted, and they slipped through the gap. When the other adventurers saw this, they were considering whether to rush in as well. After all, it was the Snow Mountain Sect who was working hard to open the door. It would be too shameless for them to rush in like this.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! "
Screams could be heard coming from inside the door. The door was still slowly being pulled open. It was already as wide as a person, but no one dared to rush in anymore.
"Steel Guard, it's the Steel Guard!"
The adventurers woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream. They thought of the terrifying existence guarding the Steel Guard in the underground level. The Steel Guard was not a person, but a mechanical puppet made of refined iron. It was as thick as an iron bucket, with an iron hat on its head that looked like a garbage can lid.
When the door was fully opened, everyone saw the Steel Guard's face clearly. Just by looking at its appearance, it did not look scary at all. In fact, it looked a little silly. But the blood that splattered from the iron body revealed the source of the screams.
The three explorers were chopped into twelve pieces. The Guardian's moves were very simple. He slashed vertically and horizontally, drawing a cross. The explorers gave it a very vivid name: Cross Slash.
One slash was enough to split a person's body into four parts. The three of them added up to exactly twelve parts, and all of them were scattered at the entrance.
"Brother, since you've already opened the door, why don't you eliminate the Iron Guards as well?"
"That's right, that's right. People from big sects like you should always do more work."
The explorers began to chatter again. Those who had wanted to rush in early to fish in troubled waters were now hesitating. The captain of the Black Tortoise Squad, Pan Hao, gave Lin Zhigang a meaningful look and smiled without saying anything. It was said that Lin Zhigang of the Snow Mountain Sect had a knife in his sleeve, and it seemed that it was true this time.
On the surface, it looked like he had accepted the invitation of the explorers and opened the door. In reality, he was deliberately slowing down the speed so that those who couldn't wait would go in and die. In this way, not only would they gain a good reputation, but they would also be able to test the strength of the Iron Guards. Lin Zhigang, who was standing at the door, saw the moves of the Guardian the clearest.
"What is everyone waiting for?"
Just when everyone was urging Lin Zhigang to act quickly, Situ Zhize arrived with his followers. His Horned Scale Horse was nowhere to be seen, and the four guards were not by his side either. Only two of his followers were left. It was obvious that he had encountered danger in the Burial Grounds. The Horned Scale Horse had probably been eaten by demonic beasts, and the four guards had also lost their lives. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arrived so late.
"Young Master Situ, he is Young Master Situ Zhize of the Sky Treasure House."
A person's name was like a tree's shadow. As soon as Situ Zhize appeared, people immediately recognized him. As the number one escort agency in the East Continent, the Sky Treasure House was famous for escorting precious treasures. Even if you obtained a rare treasure in the Skeleton Crypt, as long as you could afford it, you could sign a contract on the spot and let the Sky Treasure House escort it out. As long as there was one person left, it was guaranteed that the treasure would not be lost, nor would it be pocketed.
"Now that Young Master Situ is here, we don't have to look at the faces of those sect disciples anymore."
Many disciples of small clans didn't get along with the sect disciples. However, they weren't strong enough, so they could only follow behind and pick up scraps. Now that Situ Zhize, the leader of the young masters of the clans, had arrived, the others also straightened their backs.
"I've made everyone wait for a long time. I will go in now. If there is anything you need to escort, you can look for me."
Situ Zhize was really a businessman. Even at this time, he didn't forget to expand the business of the Sky Treasure House. Searching for treasures in the Secret Realm often depended on luck. Cultivation was low, and weak martial artists might accidentally pick up a precious treasure. If they were afraid that they couldn't bring it out, then they could entrust the people of the Sky Treasure House to escort it out. Of course, the prerequisite was that they could afford it.
As he spoke, he brought two of his followers and entered the crypt's entrance. When the steel guards standing at the bottom of the stairs saw someone enter, they waved their long blades and pounced over. Situ Zhize didn't understand, but one of his followers moved. This person was Xiao Si, who had tailed Du Feng previously. His figure flashed and appeared in front of the steel guards. He didn't attack, but raised his hand and shot out a handful of powder.
"Fortunately, I didn't fail!"
After Xiao Si scattered the powder, he returned to Situ Zhize's side. Everyone was stunned. What was going on? Fortunately, he didn't fail. Wasn't the steel guard still standing there? He didn't even make a move, and he said that he didn't fail. He made it sound as though it was real.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle …"
At this moment, there was a sudden change. The steel guard stood still, and white smoke came out of his body. His invulnerable steel body started to decay, and holes appeared. That color-changing powder was really powerful. After coming into contact with it, it could actually cause the mechanical puppet to decay quickly. There was no need to use a sword or spear at all.
"Young Master Situ is really amazing."
"Yes, yes, we have hope this time."
The group of explorers flattered Situ Zhize as they walked in. Soon, they all entered the Skeleton Crypt. Lin Zhigang smiled faintly and led the team members in. Murong Mansha looked into the distance and didn't see Du Feng's figure. She then looked at Pan Hao and could only follow through the door.
In fact, Du Feng had arrived a while ago. With his speed, as long as the annoying vampire bats weren't around, he would be able to get here in no time. It was just that others couldn't see him because he had gone underground again. He felt a dangerous aura. This aura was very similar to Adjudicator No. 5, but it was much stronger. If his guess was right, there should be an Adjudicator ranked higher than him.
Sure enough, after everyone entered the crypt's entrance, a white figure flashed in. The face was covered with a white veil, and even Du Feng couldn't see what the other party looked like. After a while, he also came out of the ground and flashed into the Skeleton Crypt with Zhao Zhi.
