After returning from the third passage, Gui Qianchou's condition was extremely bad.
This kind of state was something that every assassin would resolutely avoid. No matter what happened, they only needed to do two things. One was to live, and the other was to kill.
And now, Gui Qianchou was in this kind of state.
If this was any other time, everyone present would be filled with killing intent upon seeing Gui Qianchou in this state. This number one Frost Grade assassin was simply too easy to kill.
But at this moment, no one had such a thought.
Because the existence that caused Gui Qianchou to fall into this state was even more terrifying.
"Disappeared! A total of six hundred assassins disappeared just like that?"
"Gui Qianchou, what did you discover?"
"Could it be Mu Yedong and the other two?"
"Impossible, it's only a passage several thousand feet long. Even if my divine sense is suppressed, I should have heard something …"
… …
After at least the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Gui Qianchou's killing eyes stiffly moved. The next moment, cold sweat that had been brewing for an unknown amount of time broke out all over his body, instantly drenching his clothes. It was as if someone had scooped him out of the water.
Seeing this, the fear in everyone's eyes deepened!
"It's a trap, an unimaginable trap!"
Deep shock flashed through Gui Qianchou's eyes, as if recalling the killing intent that made his entire body tense up and sting with pain.
"I never dared to believe that within the same realm, there would be a trap that I could not detect …"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked!
"Even you could not detect it?"
"Gui Qianchou, your killing technique has already reached the peak of the first layer, and your various killing techniques are all at the peak of the Frost Grade. Who could hide from you!"
"Impossible, Mu Yedong and the other two are all at the Body Integration stage. What trap could they have encountered?"
"Are you mistaken? I don't believe it!"
… …
Seeing that the assassins who said they did not believe him actually walked towards the third passage, Gui Qianchou did not stop them. He only struggled to get up and staggered towards the Gui Qianchou Cave's base.
Just going there to scout for information had caused his mental state to suffer a huge setback. If he did not recover, this trip to the Life and Death Cave would undoubtedly result in his death.
As for the fact that no one believed his explanation, he did not care.
Because someone was prepared to use their lives to verify it. This was much better than his empty words.
"Without my orders, the assassins of Haunted Ghost Cave are not allowed to act on their own."
After saying that, Gui Qianchou sat cross-legged in his camp and silently circulated his killing technique.
Time flew by.
Half an incense stick of time.
One incense stick's worth of time.
Fifteen minutes.
An hour later.
…
Another two hours passed, and the person who entered the third passage still did not appear.
As they waited in Silence, the third passage in everyone's eyes suddenly changed.
This passageway that was not pitch-black seemed to have turned into a bloody mouth that silently devoured any life that entered.
"Looks like Gui Qianchou was right …"
"My Divine Sense was always on Qin Er, but it was suddenly erased by a wave of killing intent. I didn't have any time to react …"
…
One life for two hours. After confirming that Gui Qianchou's words were true, everyone felt their hair stand on end.
These were not six hundred ordinary six immortals.
Instead, they were Silver-level assassins of the Underworld Cave that were comparable to the elite disciples of the star-class sects in the Burial Steppes!
If these six hundred assassins worked together, they could topple any Star Grade sect in the Burial Blood Steppes! It could bring disaster to the Moon-Class Factions!
But they had all died silently in a small passageway in the Life and Death Cave!
What was even more unbelievable was that this passageway belonged to the insignificant Muye Cave, and it belonged to the three insignificant assassins of Muye Cave!
The lives of six hundred and five assassins had been lost during the first half of the day in the Life and Death Cave. The assassins of the three caves all recognized one thing — Muye Cave was not to be underestimated. Instead, it had become the strangest and scariest cave out of the four caves.
But they were still guessing who set up the trap that even Gui Qianchou could not detect in the third passage was.
"It should be Ling Dang, Senior Apprentice-Sister Muye Cave …"
"Not necessarily. An Xi is also quite outstanding among the Heaven Grade slaves …"
"It must be Ling Dang. Before she entered the cave, although she was only a Mortal Grade slave, I heard that she was not ordinary …"
"Don't forget, there was another person in Muye Cave. This person killed Xiong Cai and the other three with methods that no one knows …"
"This person is a body cultivator. What … what was his name again?"
…
No one knew what Xie Tian's name was because the name 'Half Life' was not well-known in the abandoned land. Even after Xie Tian borrowed the name, only Ling Dang knew about it.
Another four hours passed, and Gui Qianchou's injured state of mind finally recovered.
"Gui Qianchou, what do we do now?"
"Let's not worry about it for now. The people from Muye Cave probably won't take the initiative to attack. When the Life and Death Cave is finished, we will have time to deal with them …"
…
Gui Qianchou looked at everyone coldly and said something shocking, "If we don't deal with them in the Life and Death Cave, we will all die. Don't ask me how I know that!"
Everyone's pupils shrank!
They did not suspect Gui Qianchou because there was a rumor in the Hai Cave that Gui Qianchou was Gui Qianchou's son!
"How is that possible?"
"Who wants to destroy Muye Cave?"
"Gui Qianchou, what else do you know?"
…
"I've already told you what I know." Gui Qianchou took a deep breath and said coldly, "If we kill Muye Dong and the other two, even if we don't fight to the death, we will still be rewarded handsomely. If we don't kill them, no matter how good our performance is, we will not be able to escape death!"
Gui Qianchou laughed self-deprecatingly when he saw everyone's eyes flicker with suspicion. "In the eyes of some people, let alone a mere Frost Rank, even if all the Rank 4 assassins were to die, it would still be a trivial matter!"
Everyone was silent.
In the silence, they understood what they had to do.
Muye Dong and the other two must die.
But here came the problem. How could they kill the three of them in the face of such an ordinary trap?
"Don't worry too much. Although the trap in the third passage is strong, the other side's various concealment also revealed their powerlessness."
Gui Qianchou's words made everyone think, and soon, they reacted.
"That's right. In the beginning, they used the four Wild Wolves to set up a trap. The trap in the third passage was rubbish to lure us in …"
"If they had enough confidence, why would they do this?"
"Gui Qianchou, what do you think we should do?"
…
Gui Qianchou said lightly, "It's very simple! After entering the first and second passages, there will be a distance of five hundred feet between each person. Every three hundred feet, we will change people! "
Everyone looked at each other and felt that this method was very fair. They immediately began to move.
At the same time, in Muye Dong's camp.
After setting up the last trap, Ling Dang, who was exhausted, sat down on the ground.
"Eldest Senior Sister, are you alright?" An Xi hurried over to help her up.
Ling Dang avoided An Xi and said weakly, "I'm just doing my best. Right, An Xi, before the people from Gui Qianchou Cave arrive, you should hurry up and set up the trap."
An Xi smiled flatteringly, "In front of Eldest Senior Sister, how would I dare to show off?"
"In the face of danger, don't be humble, Junior Brother." Ling Dang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Hurry up and set up the trap. I want to meditate for a while."
Ling Dang's praise made An Xi excited. He glanced at the wooden Xie Tian and ran off to set up the trap.
Ling Dang also glanced at Xie Tian and shook her head. "I don't expect you to set up the trap. If you can use the skills of a body cultivator to let us live, I will protect your life even if I have to risk being punished by Master …"
Just as Ling Dang closed her eyes, Xie Tian opened them and looked at the five hundred feet entrance before looking at Ling Dang.
