Thousand-faced Human Fox walked in front with the ice jade in his hands. Wherever he went, the mercury around him would instantly freeze to form a silver floor. When the people walked on it, they would only feel that their feet sank slightly, but they would not sink completely.
The people in the area were all elites with pretty good lightness skills. They knew that this was because the area of effect of the ice jade was not enough to freeze the mercury moat. They tapped against the ground and quickly followed behind Thousand-faced Human Fox. They quickly rushed to the middle of the moat.
In the blink of an eye …
The group entered the moat.
Martial Paragon Bi Xuan's subordinates were a little unlucky.
When they saw the abnormality on Thousand-faced Human Fox's side, they discussed with each other and wanted to rush over as well, but since they were too far away, two of them stepped on the ground. The mercury was coincidentally soft, and a powerful suction force instantly devoured them. They died a horrible death.
The others might have been lucky enough to use their body movements to lift themselves up, but they could not join the group. They accidentally sucked in the poisonous gas and fell into the moat one after another.
The subordinates Martial Paragon Bi Xuan brought to the desert palace died just like that, and from then on, he was alone.
Happy watched all of this coldly from the start to the end. He did not extend a helping hand!
Martial Paragon Bi Xuan was different from the old zither player.
The old zither player was the sect master of Zither Sect. He was naturally compassionate and merciful, while Martial Paragon Bi Xuan was the Turkic Imperial Tutor. His goal for this trip was the treasure in the desert palace, and for it, he had even sacrificed his subordinates. If he saved Bi Xuan's people, not only would he not gain any benefits during the fight for the treasure later, he would also increase his enemy's strength for no reason.
No matter what, Happy would not do such an unwise thing.
When he heard the sounds of Bi Xuan's subordinates falling into the mercury moat, he acted as if he did not hear it and continued moving forward.
The old zither player might not be able to bear sighing, but he knew his status and position. Since Happy was the leader of the group, he could not make things even more difficult for Happy and increase the risk for everyone. He could only watch as Bi Xuan's people died in the moat.
Wan Wan and Hou Xibai followed the group quietly. They did not dare make a sound, afraid that if they spoke, they would suck in the poisonous gas and be doomed forever.
The group arrived at a spot sixty-five feet away from the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds.
Less than 50 meters behind the Fire Spitting Beast of Clouds was a huge four-sided pyramid that looked like an altar.
The pyramid was completely surrounded by the mercury moat, and only less than ninety-two feet was revealed. The swordsman in black armor, Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, Dongfang Bubai, Ye Gucheng, Evil King, Empress Yin, and Osaya could not be seen.
"…"
He was slightly stunned, and he was a little puzzled. 'Where did the elites in the dao of heaven go?
But even though he was puzzled, the Fire Spitting Cloud Beast was right in front of him, and he could not ignore it.
This was the biggest threat to the Mercury Moat!
Just then …
"Rise!"
As Thousand-faced Human Fox gave his order, the group of people had long since been notified of their arrival. They reacted at the same time. They tapped against the mercury floor, held their breath, and flew much higher. They braced themselves and flew in the direction of the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds.
If Bi Xuan and the others were on the opposite side, they would definitely think that this group of people had gone mad. This was clearly a dead end for them …
But at the moment they pounced into the attack range of the Fire Spitting Beast of Clouds, Thousand-faced Human Fox quickly flicked his wrist, and the ice jade he had been holding in his hand shot into the Fire Spitting Beast of Clouds' wide open mouth at lightning speed.
The Fire Spitting Beast of Clouds' mouth, which shone with flames and a piercing scent, instantly became dull.
Its eyes, which shone with a savage light, also became slightly dull.
The Fire Spitting Beast of Clouds, which was a divine weapon used to attack cities, seemed to have choked.
It did not spit out the sulphuric acid that had reached its throat.
The group was incredibly excited, and they were delighted. They chased after Thousand-faced Human Fox without stopping. They used the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds' bodies as fast as lightning and shot past the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds one after another to land on the stairs under the pyramid.
The pyramid was incredibly grand. Even though the exposed part of the pyramid was only around ninety-two feet tall, each foundation was incredibly sturdy and huge. Each step was three feet tall.
When the group landed on the stone steps of the pyramid, they instantly became incredibly small.
Thud, thud …
The group landed on the pyramid while remaining unharmed. All of them arrived safely.
From the start to the end, the group did not know why the Fire Spitting Beast of Clouds did not spit out any phosphorescence. Even though they guessed that it was definitely related to the old servant beside the white-clad teenager, they were very sensible and did not ask about it. The old zither player and his group wrapped their fists in their palms and thanked him at the same time.
"Thank you, Young Swordsman Happy."
"I wonder where they are now. We have to hurry up and find them!" Happy did not have the mood to be polite right then. Once he landed, his spirit sense instantly covered the entire pyramid, but he only noticed a tunnel that could allow a few people to enter at the same time at the top of the pyramid.
It was a small, square-shaped tunnel at the back of the pyramid. It was dark inside, and his spirit sense could not reach it. Happy guessed that the alliance master and the other elites in the dao of heaven should have entered it.
Besides …
There was a high possibility that the secret of the desert palace was hidden in the pyramid, and it was the fearsome item that Thousand-faced Human Fox and the old zither player guessed!
"Let's go!"
Happy tapped against the ground and charged to the top of the pyramid without stopping.
"Follow me."
The old zither player did not go back on his promise. With one order, he brought a few of the barbarians who were lucky enough to survive and quickly caught up to them.
Wan Wan and Hou Xibai were also worried about whether their master had succeeded. They followed behind the group of elites and did not dare to fall too far behind. They climbed up several steps with each step they took.
When the group was about to reach the top of the pyramid, the pyramid suddenly trembled violently.
Even the mercury around the pyramid started rippling slightly. It was as if something was swaying violently in the pyramid and shaking its foundation.
When they sensed the abnormality in the pyramid, the group looked shocked. They stopped moving and held the ground so that they would not be accidentally thrown out of the pyramid.
"What happened?!"
"Something happened in the pyramid! Master, be careful! "Thousand-faced Human Fox cried out in surprise behind him.
Happy was the first to rush to the front, and he was also the one who was affected the most. Powerful tremors and swaying came from the inside of the pyramid, and they increased in intensity from the bottom up.
When he approached the top of the pyramid, Happy felt a sense of danger as if he was about to be thrown down. He had no choice but to ignore how sturdy the ground was. He formed his fingers into claws and dug them into the ground.
Five finger-generated gusts of wind left a few holes in the ground.
Once he dug the holes, Happy finally stabilized himself.
Boom!
The pyramid continued swaying, and the sounds inside grew louder.
The fierce tremors and tremors caused the calm mercury moat to become even more turbulent. The silver waves struck the area around the pyramid gently. Shattered mercury flew high into the air and shot at the group of people above the pyramid. It shocked Wan Wan and Hou Xibai so much that they quickly used their methods to protect themselves.
"This is bad!"
The old zither player had been by Happy's side all this while. When the pyramid first swayed and trembled, his expression changed. He listened carefully and sensed the situation for a while before he sent a private message to Happy.
"This shouldn't be some powerful mechanism. It's a fight between elites. They've started fighting inside!"
'Them!'
Happy naturally knew who the old zither player was referring to.
Perhaps only the fight between elites in the dao of heaven could shake and affect the area outside the pyramid.
But …
If they could make the sturdy pyramid tremble repeatedly and even the mercury moat become turbulent, the fight inside might not be that simple.
When he thought about this in depth, Happy's expression changed again.
The battlefield where seven elites in the dao of heaven fought was not a simple one. They could already sense such a powerful impact from outside, so it was not a good idea to enter recklessly.
But the situation outside was not safe either!
As the battle in the pyramid became more intense, the mercury in the mercury moat outside grew higher. Soon, it would threaten the group of people gathered at the top of the pyramid.
Just when the group found themselves in a difficult situation …
Happy and the old zither player noticed a great murderous aura surging out from the depths of the pyramid's tunnel at the same time. It charged out with a proud roar at an astonishing speed.
"ROAR!"
The tiger's roar caused the entire pyramid to tremble.
At the same time, the tiger's roar was mixed with an incredibly brutal and brutal presence. When they sensed the charge coming at them, they felt as if they could not stand steadily.
Then …
A sharp glare in the form of a large white tiger that seemed to have gained physical form charged out of the pyramid's tunnel in a savage and callous manner.
Their robes fluttered.
The group of people outside the pyramid could not even stand steadily when they heard the roar. They bent down to stabilize themselves.
But at that moment, the weapons in many people's hands and backs started trembling madly.
Ten thousand weapons roared together!
"This is …"
At the moment the white tiger that seemed to have gained physical form charged out of the pyramid, Happy's ancient divine weapon, Heaven Crystal, hummed slightly, and the willpower it contained gushed out madly against its will.
Heaven Crystal's willpower!
Boom!
"Its tip is in the form of a tiger, and it can look down on the world! It's a tiger-shaped saber glare! "
Just when Happy's abnormality appeared, the old zither player was so shocked by the white tiger that rushed out of the pyramid that his eyebrows twitched. He subconsciously raised his voice and cried out in surprise, "This is bad! The thing sealed under the desert palace is actually the most ferocious creature of the ancient times!
It was only then that the old zither player remembered what the creature sealed under the desert palace was. He was so terrified that his face turned pale. Suddenly, an astonishing sword will that could not be blocked rose from beside him. The sharp glare shot into the air like a magnet and crushed the tiger-shaped saber glare that had shot out of the pyramid. His expression changed again.
"This is?"
He redirected his gaze and saw that the longsword in Happy's hands was no longer as ordinary as before. Its entire body was as clear and pure as white crystal, and it shone with an astonishing presence!
"Heaven … Crystal!"
The old zither player's face was filled with disbelief. He stared at the longsword in Happy's hands, and after a few seconds, he slowly uttered those two words.
Wan Wan and Hou Xibai were shocked at the same time. Their gazes were instantly attracted by Heaven Crystal, which released an astonishing sword will in Happy's hands.
At that moment, even those who lacked common sense could tell that there was something extraordinary about the longsword in Happy's hands!
But …
Everything happened too quickly. The tiger-shaped saber glare appeared, and Heaven Crystal's sword will appeared. Then, a snow-white tiger-shaped saber glare charged out of the tunnel in the pyramid with a roar once more! The feeling that the tip of the saber was cutting down was more than ten times stronger than before.
Before the saber arrived, the sound arrived first!
The old zither player's barbarian disciples were so shaken by a peerless presence that they could not stand steadily. They were thrown from the pyramid to the mercury moat.
