"Pfft!" The moment the pyramid appeared, a huge spiritual pressure suddenly erupted, causing the people who were already in danger to immediately spit out a mouthful of blood and fall to the ground.
At this moment, the only people who could still stand in the desert, other than Bartlett who was protected by a mysterious power with the key in his hand, Sei Itō who was protected by the Rubik's Cube, Chen Hongde who had an unknown cultivation level, the other person among his three subordinates other than the crew-cut man and the skinny man, and Adam Hill who was wearing a set of armor and holding a greatsword in both hands.
"Perhaps all of us have been tricked by Bartlett." Sei Itō secretly glanced at everyone's condition and pretended to be pale as he thought to himself as he looked at Bartlett who was unharmed on the altar.
At this moment, the key in Bartlett's hand suddenly shot out a bright white light that shone straight on one of the walls of the pyramid.
As the light shone, another ripple appeared on the pyramid. Then, a pitch-black door appeared on the surface of the pyramid that had no traces of human activity.
Then, the key that had completed its mission of opening the door flashed and turned into a stream of light that merged into Bartlett's body.
"Kacha!" The moment the key disappeared, a crisp sound suddenly came from the altar beneath Bartlett's feet. Then, the entire altar shattered into a pile of powder like a weathered stone and scattered on the sand.
"Everyone, let's go in." Bartlett, who was prepared for this, landed on the ground smoothly without any surprise. He turned around and looked at Sei Itō, Chen Hongde, the other Chinese man, and Adam Hill who was wearing armor and wielding a greatsword.
"Bartlett. There must be something you haven't told us. "Chen Hongde squinted at Bartlett and said in a deep voice.
"There are indeed some things, but they are all unimportant. Moreover, they are the secrets of the Sage Parliament. I don't think I have any obligation to tell you." Bartlett, who was emitting a mysterious energy wave similar to the pyramid, said with a smile.
"There is indeed no need to tell us the secrets of the Sage Parliament." Chen Hongde looked at Bartlett quietly for a few seconds before speaking in a deep voice. Before Bartlett could speak, he continued, "But now isn't the right time. I think we should wait for our subordinates to recover some of their strength before exploring the temple."
"I agree." The moment Chen Hongde's words left his mouth, Adam Hill, who had also noticed Bartley's unique problem, immediately replied.
"I agree." Sei Itō nodded in agreement.
"Alright, but I want to remind everyone that the Divine Temple's appearance will cause too much of a commotion. Maybe there would be experts from other organizations coming here. When the time comes, it's not up to us to decide what will happen. " Bartlett didn't want to push himself to the opposite side of the crowd when he saw that the four remaining experts were against him. Thus, he spoke in a half-compromising, half-threatening manner.
"Compared to what's inside. I'm more concerned about the lives of this group of people who came with me. "Chen Hongde didn't know if he was being sincere or not. But the effect of his words was not bad. All the Freemasons on the ground who hadn't fainted yet. Especially the Chinese among them, all of them had a grateful look in their eyes as if they were willing to die for Chen Hongde.
"Life is more important than anything else." Adam Hill continued, "Recklessly throwing away the lives of others will be condemned by God and will enter hell after death."
"As expected of the guy named Adam." Sei Itō glanced at Adam Hill and thought.
"Alright then." Bartlett didn't even look at Sei Itō when he saw the leaders of the two major factions had given up. He shrugged and agreed. He then turned to his men and ordered, "Take out the potion and use it."
Hearing Bartlett's order, the subordinates of the Sage Parliament and the members of the [Dark Moon] organization took out a bottle of light yellow potion, opened the cap and poured it into their mouths.
Chen Hongde and Adam Hill's expressions changed slightly when they saw the actions of Bartlett's men. After exchanging a glance, they also ordered their men.
"Use the potion." "Use the potion."
Following Chen Hongde and Adam Hill's orders, the Freemasons and Knights of the Round Table quickly took out some pills or potions and put them into their mouths to recover.
"Seems like the Freemasons don't just have martial artists, they even have external alchemists who know alchemy," Sei Itō thought after taking a glance at the pills in the Freemasons' hands.
"Here you go." Chen Hongde's voice suddenly sounded in Sei Itō's ears. Then, two white porcelain bottles flew towards Sei Itō.
Sei Itō caught the two bottles with a wave of his hand. Then, he heard Chen Hongde's voice again, "One of the bottles has the Rejuvenation Pill, it can heal internal injuries. The other bottle has the Vitality Pill, it can nurse the spirit and recover a certain amount of mental trauma."
"Thank you, Uncle Chen." Sei Itō didn't reject Chen Hongde's obvious act of fawning over him. He kept the two bottles of pills and thanked Chen Hongde with cupped fists.
With the help of all sorts of pills and potions, the faces of the fallen members recovered and they stood up. Although they recovered, the members who fainted under the heavy pressure didn't fully recover. They still looked weak and barely held on.
"You guys stay behind. The rest of you follow me into the temple," Chen Hongde said with a frown after taking in the situation of his men.
With Chen Hongde as an example, Adam Hill and Bartlett followed suit. They left the weak members outside and only brought the recovered members into the temple to explore.
In this way, half of the team of more than thirty people was gone. Only seventeen people were left, including Sei Itō, Chen Hongde, the middle-aged man who didn't fall, Adam Hill, Bartlett, and their subordinates. Excluding Sei Itō and the other four who weren't injured, there were four members of the Freemasonry, three members of the Knights of the Round Table, and the rest were all members of the Sage Council.
From this result, it was obvious that the healing potions from the Freemasonry and the Sage Council were more effective than the healing potions from the Knights of the Round Table.
"Let's go." Bartlett called out when he saw that everyone was ready. He then turned around and sprinted towards the temple with his hand in hand.
"Let's go too." Chen Hongde looked at his three subordinates and Sei Itō and called out. Then, everyone tapped their feet and quickly caught up with Bartlett's team using martial arts techniques. However, they didn't overtake them and rushed towards the temple with them.
Behind them, the Knights of the Round Table team, which only had four people, including the Grand Knight Adam Hill, also took heavy steps and chased after the two teams in front of them. They rushed towards the temple.
With everyone running at high speed, the three teams quickly reached the temple's open door and walked towards the unknown interior of the temple.
"Tap, tap, tap, tap …" The clear sound of footsteps immediately echoed in the empty corridor that was wide enough for four horses to pass side by side. Then, it gradually disappeared into the unknown length of the passage.
"How do you feel?" Chen Hongde asked Sei Itō beside him.
"It's very strange. I keep having a feeling that something is going to happen." Hearing the question, Sei Itō said with a frown.
"Do you have this feeling too?" Chen Hongde said in a low voice with a bad expression.
"Yes." Sei Itō nodded in confirmation.
"Looks like we have to be careful." Seeing Sei Itō confirm, Chen Deren said with a heavy expression. He then turned his head and whispered to the Freemasons behind him, "Be alert and be careful. This is an unknown place. Don't lose your lives accidentally."
"Understood." The Freemasons who received the order all responded with a solemn expression.
"You guys be careful. Pay special attention to that group of Easterners." At the same time, Adam Hill, who had the least number of people and was constantly paying attention to the surrounding situation, noticed the conversation between Sei Itō and Chen Hongde and the changes in the Freemasons' team. He whispered to the three knights beside him.
"Yes." The three replied in unison.
"Of course, there's also the Sage Council." Adam Hill looked at the relaxed Bartlett and continued to add.
"Okay." The three knights followed Adam Hill's gaze and looked at Bartlett and the others.
As for Bartlett, although he also noticed the changes in the other two teams, he didn't care about it at all. He also didn't tell his subordinates to be careful. He just continued to lead the team forward along the long tunnel.
Although the tunnel was very long, there was still an end. Therefore, after five to six minutes of walking, the scene in front of Sei Itō and the others immediately changed. A large number of skeletons of humans and beasts appeared in front of them.
"They're here. Everyone be careful." Chen Hongde reminded everyone.
In fact, even without his reminder, everyone knew that something was wrong when they saw this strange scene. They all became cautious and took a step forward cautiously. And just as the entire team left the tunnel and entered the land of white bones and walked for a distance, the atmosphere in the tunnel suddenly changed. Then, the skeletons that were supposed to be lifeless trembled and crawled up from the ground with red eyes. They completely surrounded everyone in the middle of the skeletons.
Seeing this, everyone felt that the situation was serious. Their expressions changed at the same time. They spontaneously formed a circle with their backs against each other and each took a stance to guard against the skeletons that could attack at any time.
"Roar!" At this moment, a sudden roar sounded from the bottom of everyone's heart. The surrounding human and beast skeletons immediately moved and rushed toward the circle formed by everyone.
