"Do it!"
As soon as Chen Hongde's voice fell, the people who formed the circular formation did not hesitate. They immediately stimulated the special energy in their bodies to summon wind blades, water curtains, ice arrows, fireballs, thunderbolts, and various other special weapons. They launched a series of sharp attacks at the Skeletal Beasts and Skeletons that were rushing towards them from the surroundings.
"Boom boom boom boom boom bang bang bang bang …" In an instant, a large number of explosions and the sound of heavy objects colliding reverberated in the empty passageway.
"How is this possible!" At this moment, a member shouted in disbelief.
"What's wrong!?" Chen Hongde asked anxiously as he activated the energy in his body and sent out a blast of air with his palm, sending the Skeletal Beasts and Skeletons in front of him flying.
"My attacks have no effect on them!" Hearing the question, the man who exclaimed immediately replied loudly.
"What!?" Chen Hongde was shocked when he heard that, and asked subconsciously.
"Boss, our attacks are the same. We can only push these monsters back, but we can't destroy them." Without waiting for the man to answer, the Freemasons immediately added.
"Same for us." As soon as the man finished speaking, the other two Freemasons also noticed the problem and quickly agreed.
"What about the others? Adam! " Chen Hongde asked the others as he continued to send the Skeletal Beasts in front of him flying with his palm while paying close attention to the effects of his attacks.
"There's an effect, but it's not obvious." Adam Hill said without turning his head as he waved his specially-made greatsword with both hands and knocked a Skeletal Beasts to the ground.
"Bartlett!" Chen Hongde asked loudly again.
"There's really no effect." Bartlett, who had steel spears popping out of his body from time to time, replied.
"Hualala …" Just when everyone felt that their attacks were ineffective and their hearts were heavy, a voice rang out. A sound of something being scattered suddenly rang out in the passageway, attracting everyone's attention.
"Xiao Cheng, how did you do that?" Because the sound was closest to him, Chen Hongde subconsciously looked over and asked in surprise as Sei Itō withdrew his fist and kicked another Skeletal Beasts away.
"It's not that our attacks have no effect, but they have to reach a certain level in an instant. Otherwise, any damage from our attacks can be evenly transferred to the entire body of these monsters. Then, when our attacks reach the upper limit of what their bodies can withstand, the collective effect will destroy them." Sei Itō explained as he used Extraordinary Strength Fist, Heavenguard Kick, and Psychokinesis to attack the monsters in front of him.
"Is that so? Wang Lei. Give it a try! "After listening to Sei Itō's explanation. Expert Chen Hongde said said Chen Hongde, who was uncertain.
"Okay!" The tall and sturdy man with a crew cut grinned and agreed. He sat on his horse and lowered his shoulders. Using the method of circulating his strength, he gathered all the strength in his body into one and waved his palm at a monster that was charging in front of him.
"Open the Stele"
"Kacha!" Instantly. In an instant, a crisp sound rang out. The Skeletal Beasts' head was immediately smashed open by the Beasts of the Beasts of the Beasts of the Beasts of the Beasts of the Beasts. After the red light in his eyes flickered twice, it was completely extinguished, turning into a pile of fragile bones. It was trampled to pieces by the Skeletal Beasts that rushed over.
"Boss, that brother is right. As long as we have enough strength, we can completely destroy them." Wang Lei, who withdrew his hand, blocked the attack of the Skeletal Beasts with both hands. Then, he fiercely kicked the Skeletal Beasts in front of him away.
"That's good! Brothers, use hard martial arts to greet them. "Chen Hongde, who had received confirmation, immediately ordered his subordinates beside him.
"Yes." The Freemasonry members responded in unison. Then, whether they were Martial Artists who practiced Neigong or Martial Artists who practiced Martial Arts, they all changed their attacks and used hard martial arts to counterattack the monsters in front of them.
Under the counterattack of the Freemasonry, the team really did look like they were going to break through the obstacles and carve out a bloody path.
"This won't do. They haven't fully recovered to begin with. If they use their strength so frequently, they might all die here if this drags on." Sei Itō reminded Chen Hongde from the side.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Chen Hongde, who understood the psychology of this situation and had a vague draft in his mind, asked with a frown.
"Inform that Adam. Tell his men to move to the front of the team. Follow me and Uncle Chen to open a path at the front. Then, tell Bartlett's men to defend and retreat. Charge forward!" Sei Itō, who wasn't in the mood to beat around the bush with Chen Hongde, said straightforwardly.
"Okay." Seeing that Sei Itō's suggestion was the same as his own, Chen Hongde straightforwardly nodded and agreed. Then, Chen Hongde raised his voice and shouted to Bartlett and Adam Hill, "Sir Bartlett and the knights of the Knights of the Round Table, please come to the front and form a sharp knife with us to charge forward. The rest of the team should immediately shrink back and defend against the monsters on the left, right, and back!"
"Okay!" Hearing Chen Hongde's words, Adam Hill was the first to agree. Then, he immediately led his three knights and slowly moved towards Chen Hongde's position.
"Okay." Bartlett also agreed.
After about a minute, Sei Itō, Bartlett, Chen Hongde's freemasons, and Adam Hill's knights of the Round Table finally formed a sharp knife and led the team members who had already changed their formation to launch a surprise attack.
Under everyone's attack, the dozen monsters at the front of the team were killed in an instant, and the team slowly moved one step forward. After seeing the effect, everyone didn't stop and continued to lead the team forward slowly.
Just like that, the team moved forward bit by bit. Not knowing how much time had passed, except for Sei Itō and Bartlett, even Chen Hongde and Adam Hill took the time to swallow an extraordinary pill and special potion. After that, everyone finally left the tunnel full of skeletal monsters and stood in a room that looked like a cell to rest.
However, after breaking out of the encirclement, the number of members of the team had once again decreased by more than half. From the original seventeen members to less than ten, and two of them were injured. It was uncertain whether they could continue to move forward with the team.
"We're finally out." Wang Lei, with his hands trembling slightly, his face pale, and his body covered in sweat, turned his head to look at the monsters that seemed to be restricted by their territory and didn't dare to cross a certain boundary, and said with lingering fear.
"Bartlett, I think you should now share the information that the Sage Council has." At this moment, Sei Itō withdrew his gaze from the headless tunnel and looked at Bartlett who was resting at the side and said with squinted eyes.
Hearing Sei Itō's words, Adam Hill and Chen Hongde immediately looked at Bartlett. Among them, Chen Hongde directly agreed. "That's right."
"What do you want to know?" Bartlett asked Sei Itō with a fake smile on his face. As for Chen Hongde and Adam Hill, no one knew if he intentionally or unintentionally ignored them.
"Everything." Sei Itō turned around and said softly to Bartlett.
As soon as his voice fell, the entire grid room immediately fell into a strange silence. Until about ten seconds later. Bartlett's voice broke the silence.
"Sure."
"This is a temple. However, it's not a temple dedicated to the God of our world, but to a God from another world. Secondly, the God that was being worshipped might have fallen, and his Divinity is placed here. "Bartlett introduced softly.
When they heard the first piece of information. Chen Hongde and Adam Hill didn't react, but when they heard the second piece of information, especially when Bartlett said the word "Divinity", Sei Itō clearly felt their breathing quicken. And it wasn't just them, the others were the same.
"It shouldn't be just that." Compared to the other people's eagerness for the [Divinity], Sei Itō who didn't have much desire for the [Divinity] because of the Rubik's Cube looked at Bartlett and continued.
"But that's all I know." Bartlett looked at Sei Itō with a fake smile and shrugged.
"Really?" Sei Itō narrowed his eyes and looked at Bartlett.
"It's up to you to believe it or not." Bartlett said as if he had something to rely on.
"Then can you explain why those monsters never took the initiative to attack you when you were in the monster tunnel just now? Only after you attacked them did they attack you?" Ito Sei asked in a low voice.
As soon as this question was asked, Chen Hongde and Adam Hill's expressions changed at the same time. They stared at Bartlett without blinking. Bartlett didn't expect Sei Itō to have the time to observe his situation in such a tense battle. So when he heard Sei Itō's question, his expression froze and he looked at Sei Itō with a gloomy expression.
"Probably because I have the key with me." Bartlett said perfunctorily.
"Is that so …" Sei Itō looked at Bartlett meaningfully and turned to Chen Hongde and Adam Hill who were resting at the side. Then, he ignored Bartlett and turned to look at the deep tunnel in front of him again.
As Sei Itō stopped, the room fell into a strange silence again.
"Let's go." After 20 minutes, Adam Hill, who had rested enough, walked to the front of the tunnel and said with a fervent look in his eyes.
Chen Hongde, Bartlett, and Sei Itō naturally didn't object to his suggestion. They left the two heavily injured people in the cubicle and called for Wang Lei who was still in good condition, the skinny man Xu Jie, and the alloy hammer wielding knight Leonard Dale to continue forward.
This time, they didn't encounter any attacks from terrifying monsters on the way back, but they encountered traps. All sorts of magical, physical, and poisonous traps increased the danger for everyone. In particular, the skinny man Xu Jie's leg was injured by a magical trap when he wasn't paying attention. Then, he died in a chain of traps together with the hammer knight Leonard Dale because he couldn't move freely. On the way back, Wang Lei, who was a little distracted due to consuming a lot of energy, accidentally added a few more wounds on his body. Fortunately, they weren't fatal, and he managed to save his life with the help of a special elixir.
After walking for more than half an hour, Sei Itō and the other four finally walked out of the tunnel full of traps and came to the entrance of a slanted downward passage.
"Although I didn't feel much on the way back, we were indeed going up. But now, this passage is slanted downward. If this golden tower is also designed like a pyramid, maybe we will reach the main room." Chen Hongde, who was standing in front of the passage, said with a little hurried breath.
"Maybe. I just hope there isn't any trouble in this passage." Sei Itō said noncommittally.
"Let's go." Adam Hill pretended to be calm and said, then took the lead and walked into the passage.
Nobody knew if it was because they were really about to reach the main room, but they didn't encounter any attacks when they were halfway through the passage. It was like an ordinary passage for people to use.
However, when they were two-thirds of the way through the passage, a strange energy suddenly appeared in the passage and wrapped around Sei Itō and the others. Instantly, a sense of heaviness and energy stagnation appeared in everyone's hearts.
"Is this a domain?" Chen Hongde said hesitantly as he felt the abnormality in his body.
"It should be." Adam Hill said in a deep voice.
"This situation is a bit dangerous," Ito Sei said softly as he landed behind the crowd without leaving a trace.
"Who cares? Since we are already here, I won't be satisfied if I don't take a look inside!" Wang Lei, whose face was full of anger and hatred, clenched his fists and looked at the end of the passage that was just inches away.
"That's right." Chen Hongde said in a deep voice as he thought of something.
Then, Chen Hongde, Wang Lei, Adam Hill, Bartlett, and Sei Itō continued to walk forward. With the speed of the five of them, they walked out of the passage in less than two minutes and arrived at a room engraved with complicated patterns.
Then, before the few people who had just walked in could react, several black smoke suddenly emerged from the two intricate patterns engraved on the ceiling and gathered in the middle of the room. Then, under the gaze of Ito Sei and the others, it turned into seven or eight humanoid monsters that were nearly two meters tall. They were half-naked, half-naked, and had a beast head, canine teeth, wolf ears, red eyes, and two machetes in their hands. They were wearing thick gray pants, and their upper bodies were naked.
"Roar!" Following that, the monsters roared and raised their swords as they charged towards the group. Their speed was comparable to that of the group when they were at their peak.
"Bastards!" At this moment, Wang Lei, whose eyes were also red, roared and emitted a fierce aura as he charged at one of the monsters.
