Yuchi Ba's sharp claws slowly retreated into his body. There was not the slightest anomaly on his face. He looked at the gladiators calmly, his eyes full of expectation.
Frowning, Mo Tiesheng said, "Master Yuchi, we are told that the 'Riot of Bloody Blade' led by the Blade of Chaos has been suppressed. The Blade of Chaos has suffered a heavy blow. Quite a few elders have been captured, and the dead members of the Blade of Chaos have been piled up into mountains of corpses!
"Right now, how much strength does the Blade of Chaos have left? What can we do even if we join them?"
Yuchi Ba grinned, baring his teeth that looked like iron shovels. "First of all, the ideology of God Chaos has been circulating in the Blood Demon Sector for almost a thousand years, and the Blade of Chaos has been established for almost a hundred years. We have been lurking for a hundred years with infinite schemes. How can we be uprooted so easily?
"Secondly, the Bloody Blade Rebellion can't be considered a failure. It's a great success. Our goal has been achieved!"
"Do you think that the Blade of Chaos intended to overthrow the current regime of the Blood Demon Sector through the 'Riot of Bloody Blade'? That is absolutely impossible! Our purpose is very simple. It is Bone Sand City. To be more exact, it is Elder Nether Spring's secret laboratory in Bone Sand City.
"Forty thousand years ago, after God Chaos was betrayed by some demons, he wandered to the Blood Demon Sector. He never forgot to annihilate the betrayers. Therefore, he established an enormous underground palace deep inside the Blood Demon Sector as a laboratory and a research center.
"It's a pity that the Great God of Chaos was too severely injured. Before he could complete his research, he fell into a deep sleep. This laboratory became his mausoleum."
"For thousands of years, rumors about the Mausoleum of Chaos have been spreading in secret. According to the legends, whoever opens the Mausoleum of Chaos will receive the legacy of Chaos. That person will be able to change the entire demon race!
"The Insect Clan is best at developing underground worlds. According to the intelligence we have, Elder Nether Spring has been obsessed with the legends of the Mausoleum of Chaos. He has a batch of very important map scraps of the Mausoleum of Chaos in his hands. He has secretly established a research center in Bone Sand City, hoping to repair and complete the secret scraps and locate the precise location of the Mausoleum of Chaos! "
"The Mausoleum of Chaos!"
The gladiators were in an uproar again.
Yuchi Ba continued. "As believers of Chaos, the Blade of Chaos has a lot of clues about the Mausoleum of Chaos in the first place. Then, we will be able to calculate the exact location of the Mausoleum of Chaos and even figure out the layout and traps in the Mausoleum of Chaos, allowing us to explore the Mausoleum of Chaos! "
"This is the true reason why we started the Bloodblade Rebellion at all costs!"
"Our heads are very clear. We know that we are absolutely no match for the Pantheon of Demons in a head-on clash. However, once we open the Mausoleum of Chaos, we will be able to awaken God Chaos even if we cannot. You can also obtain the inheritance of Chaos in the Tomb of the Gods, explore the origin of the evolution of the Demon Race, and comprehend the first divine ability! "
"Therefore, I hope that we can establish a tough exploration team and explore the Mausoleum of Chaos together!"
The gladiators did not expect that Yuchi Ba would go straight to the point and talk about such confidential matters, nor did they expect that such an important mission would fall on their shoulders. They were all excited. At the same time, they were also at a loss. They were flabbergasted and did not know how to respond.
Li Yao was extremely calm. "Island Master Yuchi, this is an important operation. Why do you want to hand it over to us ignorant new blood? "
"There are three reasons," Yuchi Ba said frankly.
Yuchi Ba said frankly. "Firstly, it is not just for the new blood like you. The Mausoleum of Chaos was God Chaos' experiment field in the beginning. It covered a very large area, and the parts deep below the ground were even more magnificent. It is like an immeasurably deep palace that requires a lot of manpower to fully cover.
"Therefore, this is an operation of an enormous scale. More than five hundred members of the Blade of Chaos will take part in it. You will only be the assistants.
"Secondly, the map pieces of the Mausoleum of Chaos are Elder Nether Spring's most confidential ultimate treasures. In order to get the pieces of the map, we attacked Bone Sand City and fought countless bloody battles with Elder Nether Spring's subordinates. A lot of experts were sacrificed before we finally managed to escort the map pieces back safely.
"To be honest, after such losses, it is true that we cannot dispatch too many seasoned experts to explore the Mausoleum of Chaos.
"Thirdly, and more importantly, there are naturally a lot of experts inside our organization. But those experts all have legal fake identities on the surface and need to show up in public all the time. Take my 'Death Teeth Guards' for example. Although they are the best of the best, if they all disappear at the same time, won't they be telling other people that something is wrong?
"Right now, the outside world is in a hurry. Now that Elder Nether Spring has lost the map pieces of the Mausoleum of Chaos, he must've guessed our purpose. Any large-scale mobilization and gathering of elites is likely to be noticed by him! Therefore, we have no choice but to activate more new blood!
Even after pondering for a moment, Li Yao could not find any major loopholes in it.
"Everyone!"
Yuchi Ba raised his voice and said, "The operation to explore the Temple of Chaos is extremely dangerous. One moment of carelessness, and you will be blown to pieces. I cannot promise you anything, but I can assure you that I will participate in the operation in person and walk in front of you! As long as we succeed and get the heritage of God Chaos, we will be qualified to compete with the Pantheon of Demons. That will be the real way out for us and our families! "
The gladiators were all whispering to each other eagerly. Many of them had been instigated by Helian Ba.
Exploring the Mausoleum of Chaos, finding the source of the demon race, and obtaining the powerful heritage from forty thousand years ago!
It was something that they would never have dared to dream about a day ago.
But right now, it was very likely to become a reality!
Li Yao was still asking calmly, "Master Yuchi, can we turn down the offer? What will happen if we do?"
"Of course you can!"
Yuchi Ba declared resolutely. "Even if you are determined to go, you will have to pass strict tests and screening. After all, you are going to explore the Mausoleum of Chaos, which is full of perils. One wrong move, and not only will you get yourself killed, you may also get other people involved!"
"Why would we risk our lives by escorting a bunch of unwilling slave soldiers to a place where their chances of survival were slim? Wouldn't we be asking to be killed?
"If you turn it down …"
Pondering for a moment, Yuchi Ba said slowly, "I don't want to lie to you. Now that you have come to the secret base of the Blade of Chaos, seen my real face, and heard such important secrets, it is unlikely that you will be able to get out for the time being.
"If you are willing to join the operation to explore the Mausoleum of Chaos, you will receive special training for a while.
"Otherwise, you can stay here and do the jobs that are within your capabilities. You will receive regular training and wait for other missions to be assigned.
"Of course, you will be closely monitored during this period of time. But things will be different when the operation to explore the Mausoleum of Chaos is over, or when my identity is completely exposed."
Although the choice was harsh, it was not unreasonable. Armed rebellions were not like inviting guests to dinner. They had to be disciplined as hard as iron.
Li Yao continued asking. "Our families may still be in Void Turmoil City. Can we meet them?"
"No."
Yuchi Ba shook his head and said resolutely, "In front of so many people, you are already 'dead'. You are reincarnated corpses that do not exist in this world. What will your family think if they want to meet you recklessly?
"Your family may not all have nerves as tough as yours. If any traces are exposed during normal times, our organization will certainly suffer destructive sabotage. Even your family will be sent to the secret prison of the Pantheon of Demons, too, where they will be tortured until the last drop of oil in their bones is drained!"
"I assure you that the methods of the Pantheon of Demons are beyond your imagination, and you will not be willing to face them even if you are killed!
"Therefore, for the sake of your family, you'd better not meet them.
"However, the organization can help you deliver a couple of 'relics' to them and a few messages to them.
"In the meantime, the organization promises that, whether or not you are going to participate in the operation to explore the Mausoleum of Chaos, the organization will try to take care of your family starting today. With the influence of the organization, they will be able to get rid of their old life and live a more comfortable life!
"After the mission is accomplished, perhaps, the organization will arrange for you to see their new life from far away when the time is right!"
Everybody was shocked after hearing that. For many chaotic-blood demons, the only motivation that kept them engaged in life-and-death battles while they were working as gladiators was their longing for their family!
Hearing that the Blade of Chaos could improve the life of their family, all the gladiators were excited!
By joining the Blade of Chaos and exploring the Mausoleum of Chaos, not only would they receive powerful techniques, they could also change the fate of their family and even become the heroes of all the chaotic-blood demons!
On the Skeleton Island, they were already used to death. They had even 'died' once. The perilous Mausoleum of Chaos did not sound so scary anymore!
"Master Yuchi, I'm in!"
A thin chaotic-blood demon whose hands were like claws shouted at the top of his voice.
"We're in, too. We are willing to explore the Mausoleum of Chaos together with you, Master Yuchi!"
More than ten muscular men who boasted the bloodline of the Red Blood Bronze Bulls stepped forward under the lead of Mo Tiesheng. Deafening noises echoed in the temple.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and stepped forward, too. He nodded and said, "I'm willing to explore the Mausoleum of Chaos, too!"
Things were getting more and more interesting.
Yuchi Ba was mostly telling the truth. At the very least, Li Yao did not sense any unusual changes in his heartbeat, blood flow, or eyeballs when he was talking.
However, telling the truth and telling the whole truth were two entirely different things.
At the very least, Yuchi Ba did not tell them what the mysterious drug that had been injected into Jin Xinyue's body and turned her into a human being was all about.
The answer to that question would have to wait until Li Yao explored the Mausoleum of Chaos in person!
