In less than half a day, the five leaders had found the secret portal to enter the Demonic Temple.
It was a secret teleportation door buried under the ruins.
If it were not for the guidance of the Great Sage Silver Pupil, the challengers would not have found it even if they spent ten times more time, let alone excavate it.
"After entering the secret door, there might be danger. There might be countless Ancient Magical Beasts lying in ambush inside. I suggest that we first send out an elite team to investigate the situation before making a decision." That extremely handsome swordsman gave his suggestion to Great Leader Ren Tiange.
"I agree," Haug, whose hair was like a devil's, agreed.
"…" Qing Mo did not say a word. Although he did not agree, he did not oppose it either.
"What do you think?" Ren Tiange, the great leader, valued the opinion of the Great Sage Silver Pupil the most.
The Great Sage Silver Pupil did not speak, but just nodded slightly. Seeing him nod in agreement, Ren Tiange was delighted. He waved his hand and ordered his most elite Tiange Battle Team to set off and enter the ancient secret portal.
Half an hour later, the powerful Tiange Battle Team returned.
When he reported to the five leaders, he mentioned the second secret portal.
Inside, there were more and deeper spaces, and even a very strange maze and a second portal. Fortunately, someone in the team was extremely good at exploring and tracking, and had solved the maze passage. Otherwise, they would not have been able to complete the task. Now, the problem was laid out in front of everyone. If they entered, in addition to the headache of the maze, there was a second portal, and maybe even a third … If they stayed outside the underground ruins, after the five leaders left, what should they do if the ancient demonic beasts counterattacked and no one could defeat them?
In this regard, the five leaders found nearly a hundred camp leaders and important backbones of the team to discuss the issue of staying or leaving.
Those who were cautious were willing to stay, while those who were aggressive wanted to enter.
Opinions were divided into two sides.
There were conservatives who strongly supported staying, and optimists who fully supported treasure hunting inside.
A newcomer like Yue Yang, who had no sense of direction, was naturally not qualified to participate in such a meeting. In his team, the only one qualified to participate in the discussion was the one-eyed man, Ben.
Unlike North the Tauren and Sitiao the Strange, who were adventurous subordinates, the one-eyed man was a classic conservative. He and more than thirty battalion chiefs made the same decision. They would stay outside, and if the ancient magical beasts were to launch a counterattack, they would consider entering the teleportation portal and defending the maze. If the Ancient Magical Beasts did not counterattack, then the teams that stayed outside would continue to search for ancient treasures in the ruins of the Underground City … In fact, in less than two days, there were quite a number of challengers who found some valuable ancient relics.
He didn't have to take too many risks, but he could still reap a certain harvest. Why not?
If everyone entered, not to mention the danger, the problem of how to split the benefits would immediately become obvious. No matter how many Ancient Secret Treasures there were, they were limited. It was impossible for everyone to split them. The challengers who supported the conservatives didn't want to see the day when they would kill each other because of their own interests. Therefore, they would rather give up a part of the potential gains.
"How unlucky. Why am I following such a cowardly leader?" The short fatty was very dissatisfied. He wanted to enter the Underground City to search for treasures, but because the Five Great Leaders had assigned logistics personnel like him, who were not strong in battle, to stay behind, even if he was full of complaints, he couldn't change the fact that he had to stay behind.
"It's good to be alive." Yue Yang expressed that he didn't care. In fact, he felt that it was equally dangerous whether he stayed behind or entered.
Of course, he couldn't say this out loud.
Firstly, no one would believe him.
Secondly, if he said this out loud, he believed that it wouldn't be long before the Great Sage Silver Pupil would find him.
Yue Yang definitely wouldn't be in the limelight. At the moment, he didn't want to reveal his strength. He had to understand the situation first. He would definitely enter the Demonic Shrine, but definitely not now.
Even if he knew it was a trap, he still charged in. That wasn't called bravery, but foolishness!
Life was not bad if he stayed outside.
Yue Yang stayed for two days. From time to time, there were challengers who found some ancient relics in the ruins. They might not be very valuable, but this kind of harvest was enough to let the challengers who stayed behind see some hope. There were definitely more Ancient Era's Secret Treasures hidden under the rubble. It all depended on how to find them. Greedy people like the short fatty became less worried. He felt that there would definitely be more treasures inside the secret door. Staying outside was just a waste of time.
If it wasn't for his lack of strength and his fear of the labyrinth, he would have sneaked in long ago. He wouldn't be able to sit still.
"Aren't you going to dig something?" The one-eyed man, Ben, was curious about Yue Yang, who was leisurely eating a chicken drumstick. Didn't newcomers like to dig for treasures? Why was he sitting here without moving? These few days, he didn't even look for treasures. He was either eating or sleeping. He had seen lazy people before, but he had never seen a newcomer who was as lazy as Dong Feng.
"They're all trash. I'm not interested." Yue Yang threw away the leftover chicken bone in his hand.
"Maybe there's something good … Forget it!" The one-eyed man gave up trying to persuade him. He just sat there and ate every day. Although it was a little unsightly, it was better than wandering around and causing trouble. Especially since the danger here had not been eliminated. If he provoked an ancient demonic beast, he would be done for.
The one-eyed man felt that it was better for a newcomer like Yue Yang to not move around. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to find him if he got lost.
On the second day after the five chiefs left, dinner was being served in the underground ruins.
Suddenly, in the darkness, there were strange noises coming from the entrances of the tunnels.
Everyone's expression changed.
Did the ancient beasts really come back?
The one-eyed man and the camp chiefs led a small number of elites and guarded the temporary campsite. At the same time, they ordered newcomers like the short fatty, Get Rich, and Yue Yang to rush to the Teleportation Portal. If the situation turned bad, they had to enter and meet up with the main force of the five chiefs. As for scattering and escaping, this idea was rejected by everyone in the earliest discussion. Because in this underground tunnel, no matter how powerful a person was, he or she would not be able to defeat the tide-like insects and monsters alone, not to mention the powerful ancient magical beasts!
"Steady, steady." The one-eyed man shouted loudly. The elites beside him also summoned their beasts and prepared to resist the attack.
"Rumble …"
However, there was something strange.
However, the swarm of insects and monsters didn't rush over as fiercely as usual. Except for a few insects that left the team and rushed to the front of the one-eyed man's formation, most of the insects and monsters didn't even look at them. It was as if something terrible was chasing them. The insects and monsters were more than the tide. They crossed the underground ruins and fled to the place they thought was safe.
Even a blind man could see that something was wrong.
These insects and monsters were already terrifying enough, but they were actually chased away by an even stronger power … Who was the one behind all of this? Was it the other challengers from the Angel Alliance or someone else?
Before the remaining challengers could react, several hundred Ancient Era's Demonic Beasts rushed over, their bodies covered in injuries.
The fierce beasts did not even look at the one-eyed man and the others. Instead, they ran away at the fastest speed they had ever run in their lives. A few ancient demonic beasts that were slightly slower in escaping suddenly let out miserable cries and fell to the ground one after another. They were badly mutilated and rolled on the ground.
"Bone Dragon!"
Someone cried out in alarm.
Yue Yang, who was mixed in the crowd, saw hundreds of Heaven Ranked Level 3 to Heaven Ranked Level 5 Bone Dragons coming out of the ancient tunnel.
As one of the main warbeasts of the Dark Faction, the Bone Dragon was naturally familiar to every challenger in the Devil Valley world. However, how did these terrifying warbeasts from the Dark Faction come to the underground ruins of the Dark Lair? One must know that the underground ruins were within the territory of the Angel Alliance. The closest territory to the Dark Faction was tens of thousands of kilometers away.
If they did not know the situation, would the enemy send hundreds of Bone Dragons to attack the defenders?
Come to think of it, if the enemy knew the information.
Then, how did the enemy know about the situation here?
Could it be that the news of the five leaders leading a team to clear the ancient tunnel for treasures was leaked? More terrifyingly, how did the enemy know that the five leaders were not with the defenders now? If the five leaders were here, not to mention a few hundred Bone Dragons, even if there were a few hundred more, they would still kill them … Now that the enemy dared to send a few hundred Bone Dragons as the vanguard, it proved that the enemy knew the situation here like the back of their hand.
"Ghost King 'Shadow', Skeleton King 'Golden Remains', and Skinning King 'Sanguinar'. Oh my god, the leaders of the Dark Faction are all here!"
When the challengers saw nearly ten thousand challengers from the Dark Faction appear, they were already in despair.
However, when they saw that there were still a few leaders who were as strong as Ren Tiange and the other four leaders, they could not help but scream. Their morale and willpower were close to collapsing … This was a battle that could not be fought. They were doomed to fail even without fighting.
There were eight leaders in the Dark Faction. Any one of them was enough to wipe out all the challengers.
Not to mention the eight leaders, even if they sent out a few hundred of their elites, they would be able to crush the challengers. After all, the most elite challengers had already been taken away by the five leaders. There were less than a hundred elites who were willing to stay. How could they fight against the enemies from the Dark Faction? Compared to nearly ten thousand enemies, thousands of enemy elites, and the eight Dark Faction leaders, the challengers of the Angel Alliance who volunteered to stay were as weak as tiny mantids blocking the road. In the next second, they would be easily crushed by the enemies into dregs …
"Leave, leave as many as you can! Everyone, do not summon your main beast. Do not let the enemy gain points. If you are captured by the enemy, try your best to end your life. Remember, do not let the enemy succeed even if you die! "The one-eyed man let out a deafening roar. He was the first person who could ignite his fighting spirit to stop the enemy.
"Pitiful little worm, do you think you can scare people by speaking louder? Let me tell you, even Ren Tiange does not dare to be arrogant in front of me! "
A huge black shadow that could not be seen clearly floated in front of the enemy.
This black shadow was extremely powerful.
Yue Yang estimated that this fellow's strength was not inferior to Ren Tiange's. If it wasn't for the fact that their attributes countered each other, it wouldn't be easy to take down this fellow … According to the information he had gathered these few days, Yue Yang could deduce that this powerful black shadow was the original boss of the Dark Faction, the Specter King 'Shadow'. If it wasn't for Ji Wu Ri's sudden appearance and suppressing him, this fellow would have been the strongest person in the Demon Valley World for thousands of years.
Standing beside the Phantom King were the Skeleton King, Golden Remains, and the Skinner King, Sanguinar.
These two were also super powerful people who were as high as Level Eight Supremes.
They were slightly weaker than the Phantom King and even Ren Tiange, but in the Demon Valley, Yue Yang estimated that they were at least among the top five experts. They should not be underestimated.
Behind them were five leaders of the Dark Faction whose power ranged from Level Five Supremes to Level Six Supremes.
Because Yue Yang did not have enough information, he did not know their names. He could only secretly observe their abilities with the Heaven Eyes Divine Vision.
"Shall I kill all of these b * stards?" a dark knight riding on a bone dragon asked the Phantom King in a polite manner.
"There's no need for that. Just chase them away. We just need to keep hunting down those who have fallen behind. I want to see their sorry state. Ha, that fool Ren Tiange thought he could dominate the Demon Valley after a few days of seclusion. What a joke! I will use the truth to tell him that even if Ji Wuri leaves, he will not be the one to speak in the Demon Valley! What ancient treasure? Idiot, Ren Tiange is the kind of fool who still counts money after being sold. He is hopeless … "The Phantom King did not need to say anything. Everyone already knew that this operation was a trap. The Dark Lair was a tiger's mouth. The enemy had already set up a trap and was waiting for Ren Tiange to lead the team to jump into it.
Now that they heard what he said, they all sucked in a cold breath.
It seemed that it was not as simple as a trap set up by the Dark Faction. There seemed to be a terrifying spy hidden in the team.
It made sense. If there was no spy and no one working with the Phantom King of the Dark Faction, how could the enemy attack them so accurately?
Yue Yang thought that there was definitely a trap and a spy. Everything was within his imagination … The only thing he could not figure out was what role the Heaven Splitting Demon Venerable played in this battle.
If the Heaven Splitting Demon Venerable was still sealed in the Demonic Palace and did not know anything about the outside world, Yue Yang would not think that way even if he was a fool. Without the secret information of the Heaven Splitting Demon Venerable, without his guidance, Ren Tiange would not have dared to lead the team into the Dark Lair. Similarly, the Phantom King of the Dark Faction was the same. Someone must have provided him with information. That was why the great leader of the Dark Faction could lead the team to attack so recklessly. What benefit would such a battle bring to the Heaven Splitting Demon Venerable who was hiding behind the scenes?
Could it be that the true body of the Heaven Splitting Demon Venerable was not free from the seal and could only act with his clone?
Or did he need the blood, flesh, and souls of these challengers as a sacrifice to completely free himself from the seal?
Of course, there was also a possibility that the Heaven Splitting Demon Venerable was already completely free. It was just that out of boredom or a twisted mentality, he purposely created this bloody battle before leaving the Devil Valley to satisfy his hobby …
If it was the first two, Yue Yang was not too worried.
If it was the latter, Yue Yang felt that he had to be careful. He must not let the Heaven Splitting Demon Venerable plot against him.
A crisis was silently approaching.
For the first time in his life, Yue Yang felt uncertain. The Heaven Splitting Demon Venerable was an old ghost who had been sealed for tens of thousands of years. Just how powerful was he?
