After the gate was completely opened, the three earth knights moved one step forward and put away the metal pieces that they had inserted into the gate. Closely after that, they entered the hieron one after another...
When he entered the gate, Zhang Tie felt a bizarre energy sweeping over his body...
Zhang Tie looked back and found that the gate was not closed after they entered. His heart raced as a tracing feather flew out of his central forehead and landed at the entrance of the hieron silently.
— — After everyone entered, as long as someone else entered, the tracing feather would attach to the sole of the outsider's shoe. The moment the tracing feather moved, Zhang Tie would know that someone was coming!
As it was on the flat top of the pyramid, there was no space behind the gate. There was only an extremely gloomy spiral staircase leading to the bottom of the pyramid.
Most of the new knights didn't know what was below the staircase. The ground inside the pyramid was bright with a special metallic luster.
"Ahh, it's too cold..." A chilly wind blew towards them from below the staircase, causing them to quiver.
Compared to the scorching magma sea outside, the temperature inside the pyramid was at least minus 40 degrees Celsius. As for knights, they could move normally here in a short period; however, they would not be able to do that for a long time.
"Attention, it's colder down there. In 3 days, if you really couldn't stand it, you could exit in advance..." Mountain Lifting Hermit opened his mouth.
When Mountain Lifting Hermit opened his mouth, Old Monster Qi didn't utter a word; instead, he led his team and rushed downstairs at an extremely high speed along the spiral staircase, closely followed by the knights of Zhang Clan of Tianlu Palace, closely followed by Mountain Lifting Hermit and Zhang Tie's team.
At this moment, knights could not fly by the strength of their chakras; however, they didn't slow down their speed. Instead, all of them were rushing downstairs as fast as a lightning bolt.
At this moment, everyone was a little excited.
Zhang Tie kept running as he observed the surroundings.
The spiral staircase was also like a pyramid, getting wider as it went down. Moreover, this spiral staircase had a wonderful double helix structure, just like the DNA helix of the human body. There was no trace of artificial construction on the entire staircase. It was completely integrated and full of mysterious charm.
In each dozens of meters, there was a brazier on the railings. Zhang Tie guessed that the brazier might be used to light flames here long ago. However, it was just a guess. He couldn't verify it.
With the help of night-viewing medicament, even without the brazier, knights could still see the surroundings clearly.
The walls on both sides of the staircase were covered with weird murals and some weird words. Zhang Tie saw many scenes of humans and demons on those murals. What shocked Zhang Tie was that those scenes were not war; instead, some scenes seemed to be some weird religious activities. In those religious activities, livestock such as cattle and sheep were pushed to the front of a tall, weird deity's statue for serving as a priest …
There were also some empty shelves on both sides of the staircase. It seemed that all the items on the shelves had been taken away.
The three keys that Mountain Lifting Hermit got to open the gate of the pyramid were transferred from others. In the past 9 years, two batches of people had been here. Zhang Tie's group was the third batch.
According to the first two batches of people, even knights could barely stay here for too long. Therefore, there were still many regions under the hieron ruins which had not been fully explored. There might be some good items. However, as those who had entered here once could not enter here for the second time, even though it was the third batch, it was still worth exploring here.
Whether it was the Weapons Mountain below or the possible existence of space equipment, it was enough for people to come here and take a risk.
The deeper they were, the lower the temperature would be. They felt like entering an icy cave.
In less than 10 minutes, they had deepened to over 20 miles inside the pyramid. Given their position, they had definitely deepened into the underground space of the pyramid.
After flying to the last step, they found that the three earth knights had stopped on the last step. Even Old Monster Qi who was in the front stopped as he didn't move forward anymore with gleaming eyes. Therefore, all the others stopped on the last step.
What appeared in front of everyone was a palace-like hall. This hall was huge, at least a few miles long. At the end of the hall, they could vaguely see dozens of doors of different sizes. The floor of the hall was spotless, with strange patterns on it. The entire hall was emitting a cold and silent luster. On the two sides of the hall, there were two rows of strange metal statues.
Those metal statues were all higher than 3 m. Their lower body was that of a huge spider while their upper body was that of a human. They looked grim and mighty. Each of them was holding a metal shield in their left hand and various weapons in their right hand.
Just as everyone's footsteps stopped on the last step, the eyes of the people on the two rows of metal statues emitted a blood-red light. The necks of all the statues made 'ka ka ka ka' sounds as they turned their heads to look at everyone, causing a chill to run down their spines.
This was not a statue, but a powerful Puppet Doll of War from the Divine Temple — a Puppet Doll of War from countless years ago.
The fact that these war puppets could still move was a very terrifying thing in itself.
"Quack... quack... quack..." Old Monster Qi burst out into laughter as he watched Mountain Lifting Hermit and the grand elder of Tianlu Palace with narrowed eyes, "You two, let's break through this pass together. After that, we will each select one portal in front of us. Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor. How about that?"
After exchanging a glance with each other, Mountain Lifting Hermit and the grand elder of Tianlu Palace nodded at the same time as they replied in a muffled voice, "Fine!"
The three earth knights rushed out in a split second...
When the three earth knights left the last step and landed on the ground, all the other battle puppets in the lobby had started to move as fast as knights.
6 battle puppets who were closest to the three earth knights rushed out from two sides at once while stabbing towards the three earth knights with 3 huge swords and 3 long spears at the same time...
"Go..." Mountain Lifting Hermit uttered a cold harrumph as he raised his fist and punched out his powerful battle qi, repelling the two battle puppets from 5 m away.
It was repelling; instead of killing or breaking them.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The greater part of the earth knight's battle qi strike was blocked by the shields of the two battle puppets. As for the remaining part of the battle qi strike, the moment it touched the metal of the two battle puppets, it would slide off...
With a loud sound, the 16 spider legs of the two battle puppets tightly grasped the ground, leaving 16 scratch marks on the ground. After being repelled by Mountain Lifting Hermit for 7-8 m, they rushed towards Zhang Tie once again...
These battle puppets all had knight-level defensive and close-range combat abilities.
Mountain Lifting Hermit's word "go" started the first battle since they entered the hieron ruins.
"Hahaha, cool!" With laughter, Zhang Tie rushed out of the crowd of black iron knights. With his great jumping ability, Zhang Tie instantly reached over 20 m high in the air. At the same time, he brandished his abyss battle spear while a battle qi fiery dragon appeared on Zhang Tie's body, covering the ground with a brilliant glow like a brilliant sun...
Even the three earth knights couldn't help but throw a glance at Zhang Tie.
Everybody felt a hot sun in the sky while the surrounding temperature rose abruptly...
Holding that hot sun, Zhang Tie smashed it into those battle puppets together with that hot sun like a deity descending to the world. Accompanied by a bizarre fiery dragon with long wings, Zhang Tie smashed it into those battle puppets together with that hot sun like a deity.
The thunder-like booms and the strong wind and impact wave of his battle qi swept over 100 m in a split second. As a result, 4 battle puppets were sent flying away by Zhang Tie in a split second.
Zhang Tie's strike could almost match that of an earth knight's strike.
All the black iron knights were startled, including Gong Ziyao and Zhou Shufan who saw Zhang Tie using a long spear for the first time. They had not imagined that Zhang Tie could be so powerful.
Zhang Tie refreshed their impressions in a split second.
At the sight of this scene, the grand elder of Tianlu Palace was shocked inside as a famous figure in Taixia Country occurred to his mind. Closely after that, he blurted out, "Fiery Dragon Heavens Burning Spear Skill!"
"Hahaha... Elder Anguo, you really have a good eyesight!" Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he raised his spear and resisted the two huge swords that were slashing towards him.
After that, the long spear in Zhang Tie's hand changed weirdly as its head and tail rotated. At the same time, the abyss battle spear penetrated through the gap between a battle puppet's shield and a huge sword like a living golden snake and inserted into the lower part of the battle puppet's body. Closely after that, the entire battle puppet was lifted up by the spear and smashed towards another battle puppet ferociously, sending the two battle puppets flying away...
Each battle puppet here weighed 5-6 tons. Watching Zhang Tie lifting a battle puppet by his long spear so easily, all the black iron knights raised their eyebrows, 'F * ck, how powerful is this guy? Is he a human or not?'
Through the combat with the battle puppets just now, Zhang Tie had felt that the metal of these battle puppets could resist long-distance battle qi strikes. As for these battle puppets, the most effective combat mode was close combat.
More battle puppets surged towards Zhang Tie...
With laughter, Zhang Tie passed by 3 earth knights and directly rushed into a flock of battle puppets in an overwhelming manner.
After Zhang Tie rushed into the crowd of battle puppets, nobody could see Zhang Tie anymore. They could only see the huge battle puppets being lifted up by Zhang Tie's abyss battle spear and smashing onto the battle puppets in the distance forcefully. After a short while, they struggled to pick themselves up once again...
One … two … three … four … sixteen … seventeen … eighteen …
Zhang Tie consecutively lifted up 18 battle puppets...
According to the legend, in ancient times, a fierce Hua general could lift off one chariot after another on the battlefield with his long spear. Nobody had seen such a scene. However, given Zhang Tie's performance, everybody felt that the fierce Hua general could not even match Cui LI in lifting off chariots … (To be continued)
