After a moment of silence, the elites of the Three Caves Frost Rank Assassins started to discuss their strategy.
"From the looks of it, Passageways B and C are the most dangerous, while Passageway A is the safest."
"Since that's the case, attack the A-shaped passage with all your might!"
"It's too one-sided. The probing is not strong enough, and the information obtained is not enough to make such a judgment …"
"That's true …"
…
After some discussion, everyone looked at Gui Qianchou.
Gui Qianchou was Gui Chou Cave's number one Frost Rank assassin. He was also the number one of the hundred elites of Hai Cave's four caves. He was proficient in poison, assassination, sneak attacks, traps, and other killing techniques.
Thus, Gui Qianchou was the best touchstone to judge the danger of the three tunnels.
"I'm sure everyone knows the uniqueness of the Life and Death Cavern." Gui Qianchou swept his gaze over the crowd and coldly said, "Mu Ye Cave is not only the shame of Hai Cave, but it is also the grave of us assassins. If we allow Vice Cave Master Mu Ye's trappings to be reignited, then there will be no more Dark Caves in the Burial Blood Plains!"
"Gui Qianchou, there is no need to say anymore. We all understand this logic!"
"The Underworld Cave's Twelve Caves and Forty-Eight Caves have all sorts of killing techniques. Even if they focus on one, they won't be like Muye Cave, which dismisses all other techniques and focuses only on traps!"
"This time, we must kill Muye Dong and the other two!"
"It's time for Muye Cave to disappear from the Underworld Cave's list of the Twelve Caves and Forty-Eight Caves!"
…
"Very good."
Seeing that everyone knew what to do, Gui Qianchou took a few steps forward and stood in front of the C passage.
The third passage was about eight thousand zhang long, and it was the longest of the three passages.
Even if Gui Qianchou didn't agree with Mu Ye Dong's philosophy, he couldn't afford to be careless when faced with a trap that could be laid by Mu Ye Dong's assassins.
This was the result of Vice Cave Master Mu Ye's fame from tens of thousands of years ago. It was also the embodiment of Gui Qianchou's own style of doing things.
As he released his Divine Telekinesis, he slowly walked into the tunnel. The other assassins of the Third Cave looked at each other. Immediately, more than ten people walked out and followed him from a distance. They were prepared to receive Gui Qianchou.
An hour later, Gui Qianchou stopped.
"He's here!"
"Gui Qianchou must have discovered something … hmm?"
"I actually discovered it too?"
"Hmph, it's quite far away. It's at least three thousand five hundred meters away from the entrance of the Muye Cave. But isn't this trap a bit too trashy?"
…
Gui Qianchou did not dare to be careless against a trap that could be easily discovered by more than ten people.
But after a careful and detailed analysis, his face under the mask couldn't help but twitch a few times, as if facing such a trap was no less than a humiliation to him.
"That's true. Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, the traps in the Muye Cave were amazing, but the difficulty in cultivating them was also great. Those three had only been in the cave for a few months, and they were even weaker than me …"
To say that he was inferior was actually disregarding it.
Gui Qianchou couldn't even be bothered to break them one by one. He casually charged out a few dozen zhang and destroyed most of the traps that he had secretly laid down before turning around and returning.
"Gui Qianchou, how is it?"
"Waste of time."
Gui Qianchou snorted and turned back, entering the first-class passage that Ling Dang was responsible for.
Another hour passed and Gui Qianchou returned with a serious look in his eyes.
When the assassins of the Third Cave saw this, their hearts trembled.
"How's the situation at Passage A?"
Gui Qianchou didn't say anything. He just twisted his arm, revealing a bloody wound at the base of his arm.
Everyone's expressions changed. Gui Qianchou's trap techniques were the strongest among them, and he had only been testing the waters, yet he had already been injured. Passage A was definitely the most difficult!
"It's about time." Gui Qianchou's voice was filled with confidence as he looked at the three passages again. "The people from the Muye Cave played a trick. Passage C looks terrifying, but it is actually the weakest. Passage A looks ordinary, but it is actually the most dangerous."
When everyone heard this, they understood what was going on and sneered.
"Heh, if we had acted according to our previous judgment, we would have definitely suffered casualties if we attacked from Passage A!"
"The people from the Muye Cave are really scheming …"
"Heh, who said it wasn't. Even the ominous material was tricked by that body cultivator …"
"Gui Qianchou, what should we do now?"
…
Gui Qianchou looked at everyone and said lightly, "It's just three people. Although we can't be careless, there is no need for us to go all out. Each cave will send out two hundred people, with ten elites leading the way. They will enter from Passage C. After destroying the Muye Cave, our three caves will compete again!"
When the disciples of the other two caves heard this, they all nodded.
"Alright!"
"Let's do that!"
…
Seeing that the six hundred people had entered Passage C, the other assassins of the three caves did not stop to watch. They all returned to their own camps and began to prepare for the upcoming battle of life and death.
To them, wasting a few hours on the Muye Cave was already extremely important.
Moreover, the formation of six hundred people was an extremely exaggerated killing formation.
"Perhaps many of those who go won't even see the faces of the three caves …"
"Don't talk nonsense. The battle of the three caves will begin in an hour at most. Prepare well …"
"This time, we must be careful of Gui Qianchou. I heard that the Lord Cave Master has spread the word that the winner of the Life and Death Cave will receive a true inheritance from him …"
…
After the six hundred people left, the thousands of assassins of the three caves prepared for the battle of life and death.
In the Muye Cave's camp, Dark Habit was restless. Bell was tiredly setting up traps. Xie Tian was sitting cross-legged and studying profound traps.
Suddenly, Xie Tian opened his bloody eyes.
"Six hundred people?"
When the first person stepped into his trap, Xie Tian had already sensed it. However, when he found out that it was actually six hundred assassins from the three caves heading towards the Muye Cave, he felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"Bell guessed that Gui Qianchou Cave was targeting Muye Cave. Now, it seems that the other three caves are targeting me …"
After thinking for a moment, he did not trigger the trap. When the last person stepped into the three thousand feet mark, a strange light flashed in his bloody eyes!
At the same time, the distance between two thousand feet and three thousand feet of Passage C seemed to have been bestowed with a different rule by the heavens and earth …
Under the rule, a silent cold wind was generated from the walls of the passage and blew towards the six hundred people …
The six hundred people were still rejoicing that there were no traps at the first few thousand feet. In the next moment, the fear of death that made their hair stand on end grew from their bones.
However, what grew was only fear.
A total of six hundred people did not even have the time to scream before they were turned into ashes by the silent cold wind!
Even the ashes became the target of the trap. The cold wind blew again, and the Melting Corpse Trap that Xie Tian had deliberately added turned the ashes into nothingness.
After silently killing six hundred people, Passage C returned to its original state. The only change was that the three thousand feet of the trap path had been reduced by one thousand feet.
After the silent Xie Tian seriously evaluated the killing this time, he closed his bloody eyes again without hesitation —
Muye Cave's trap techniques were worth studying with all his might!
At this time, the assassins from the three caves were eager to try and prepare for the battle between the three caves.
"It has been an hour, why haven't they returned yet?"
"Wait a little longer …"
"It has been two hours …"
"Something is wrong. Could it be Gui Qianchou's trick?"
…
When the assassins appeared at the other end of the Muye Cave's passage, they saw a suspicious Gui Qianchou.
"Gui Qianchou, you …"
Before he finished speaking, Gui Qianchou disappeared into Passage C.
Fifteen minutes later, Gui Qianchou appeared.
His eyes were dazed, his face pale, and his needle-like pupils were filled with shock.
"Gui Qianchou, what happened?"
"They, they disappeared …"
While everyone's hearts were in their throats, they seemed to understand why Gui Qianchou was so shocked.
However, this shock did not come from the disappearance of the six hundred people, but from the invisible danger he felt when he was two thousand feet from the passage.
"The danger that could kill me with a single touch, actually, actually came from a trap that I couldn't sense. This, this trap, who, who set it up …?"
