First level of the royal tomb, entrance hall.
The ninjas' corpses and players' corpses strewn across the hall had not disappeared, but the blood on the ground had already dried up, and it was a strange, black color. Once the people from the four great system-allocated sects left, the injured people from Soaring Tiger Sect, Hidden Soul Guild, and Beggar's Sect occupied a corner. Once they used Jinchuang Ointment to heal their wounds, they circulated their qi to heal their wounds. The entire hall was filled with the devastating and desolate air of a battle.
During that period of time, no one noticed that one of the Soaring Tiger Sect members had disappeared for half a minute before he swiftly reappeared in his original spot.
“！”
The members of the Beggar Sect and the Hidden Soul Association did not notice anything.
But when the people from Soaring Tiger Sect saw their companion reappear beside them, their expressions changed.
Then, a snow-white messenger pigeon flew through the air!
The sound of a messenger pigeon flapping its wings and flying away broke the gloomy atmosphere in the hall. The leader of Hidden Soul Guild and the people from Beggar's Sect looked up and swept their gazes over the people from Soaring Tiger Sect. The leader of Hidden Soul Guild turned his head around to look at his arm dejectedly, and anguish appeared on his face.
Losing an arm could be a big or small thing in the game.
Fortunately, he had only lost his left arm. At the very least, he had retained a certain amount of his battle prowess. Furthermore, he did not lose his right arm and kept it in his Universe Bag. Once he got out, he could find a medical center to stitch it up again. Then, he could use some expensive medicine and very soon, he would be able to return to his peak condition. However, before he could find a doctor, his battle prowess would be greatly reduced. There was already not much hope for him to challenge the royal mausoleum!
The people from the four great sects had gone deep into the royal mausoleum for a period of time, and they had yet to retreat. He believed that they could handle it, and the thought of entering the royal mausoleum again appeared in his mind.
However …
In truth, with his current strength and the combat power of his remaining brothers, it was still very dangerous for them to enter. Just like Beggar's Sect and Soaring Tiger Sect, they struggled for a long time. They could not decide whether they should continue taking the risk or leave the royal mausoleum.
Right then, he was jolted awake by Soaring Tiger Sect's messenger pigeon, and he finally realized that he had to make a decision. If he continued staying there, he would just be wasting time, and he would be a coward.
"Everyone!"
The one-armed middle-aged man clasped his hands together and stood up. His pale face attracted many sympathetic gazes.
"After resting for so long, it's about time to move out. I wonder if the two brothers have made up their minds. Do you want to go deeper, or do you want to leave?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The people in charge of Beggar's Sect and Soaring Tiger Sect stood up from their camps.
"Leave?"
Before the people from Beggar's Sect could speak, the tanned man who stood up from Soaring Tiger Sect's camp smiled wryly and took over the conversation with a mocking tone. "Where do you think you're going?"
As he spoke, he laughed at himself.
The leader of Hidden Soul Guild looked puzzled.
"… Brother, what do you mean by that?"
"I'll tell everyone the truth. I have a brother who went offline just now. When he logged back in, he was still back here. He didn't leave the royal tomb …"
Pausing for a moment, he swept his gaze across the crowd, facing each and every 'interesting' face. "Everyone, do you understand the meaning of this?"
"What?!"
The leader of Hidden Soul Guild was the first to reveal a shocked expression.
"In other words, unless we find the right way to leave this place, we might be trapped here until we die … Of course! If we wait until this time tomorrow, we might be teleported out. However, there's another possibility … "
The tanned man from Soaring Tiger Sect had clearly thought about it for a long time. He looked around the hall and uttered a possibility that caused everyone's hearts to tremble.
"It's also possible that the royal tomb's mechanism has been activated to kill us all and send us out of the royal tomb!"
Boom!!
The hall immediately boiled over.
"Impossible!"
A few people were the first to stand up. In disbelief, they chose to log off.
But soon …
Just as expected, they reappeared in the same spot.
The face of the leader of Hidden Soul Guild turned even paler!
His eyes sparkled for a moment before he brought out a pen and paper with trembling hands. He wrote a few words on it and sent it.
In truth, their masters had indeed reminded them that there were many mechanisms in the royal mausoleum and that they had to be careful. They had to quickly get rid of all the ninjas before they could complete the quest.
Up until then, the mechanism in the royal mausoleum had not appeared!
There were only traps set up by the ninjas.
Hence, the words of the tanned man from Soaring Tiger Sect were not without reason. The moment the mechanism in the royal mausoleum was activated, it might be the time for all the people in the royal mausoleum to die.
However, Hidden Soul Guild still placed their hopes on the diviners who seemed to be able to do everything in the game. They asked them to help answer the question.
A few Hidden Soul Guild members in a city rushed to the street and found the diviner who had set up a stall. Without hesitation, they threw a bag of money on the stall.
"I want to ask you something."
"I can help you with reading your fortune, searching for a person, or asking about the secrets of the universe. Speak."
The diviner grabbed the bag of money with a grin and stared at the trio in front of him amiably. "I am an iron diviner. As long as it is within the five elements, I will have no problem with it."
"Oh? That's perfect. "
The members of Hidden Soul Guild looked at each other.
One of them said, "Master, do you know about the royal mausoleum?"
"Royal mausoleum? That's a lot. The Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, and Princes of the opposite sex have their own mausoleum. Can you tell me in detail which one it is? "
The diviner stroked his white beard.
The person looked around warily before he leaned in and whispered into the diviner's ear.
The diviner's expression changed swiftly, and he stared at the trio in disbelief.
"Yan Dynasty's royal mausoleum? You actually found the royal mausoleum of the former Yan Dynasty?"
Countless people on the street instantly cast them sidelong glances.
Dynasty and royal mausoleum were shocking words, and it naturally caused quite a number of players in the area to have their imaginations run wild. They surrounded them.
"That damn old man!"
Even though they knew that the diviner was not someone who would keep secrets, the trio from Hidden Soul Guild still felt gloomy, as if they had been set up by him.
"That's right, it's Yan Dynasty's royal mausoleum. We want to know how we can get out of it."
"This is …"
The diviner had a troubled expression on his face.
The trio from Hidden Soul Guild clearly understood what was going on. They added another bag of money.
"…"
Another bag!
The diviner smiled and put away the three bags of money. His actions finally allowed the trio from Hidden Soul Guild to release a breath of relief.
In truth, they were worried that they would not be able to solve the problem with just three bags of money.
The diviner brought out the turtle shell and the coins used for divination. He shook them with a clear sound before he poured them on the eight trigrams.
He frowned.
Under countless players' concerned gazes, the diviner slowly said, "Leave a sliver of hope behind. Hmm, the Gate of Life opens once every twenty-four hours. If you miss the time, you will not be able to survive. This means that you must find the exit within twelve hours, or else, the Gate of Life will close, and you will definitely die."
The expressions of the Hidden Soul Guild members changed swiftly. They quickly sent a messenger pigeon to the royal mausoleum.
When they tore the letter, the leader of Hidden Soul Guild fell silent.
"Damn it!"
"I can't believe we ran into this sort of quest that will only lead to death!"
Once they obtained the precise information, the people in the hall exploded.
"Damn it!"
"If we just sit around, we'll just be waiting for death! We might as well kill our way inside!"
"That's right!"
"The people from the four sects are still inside. They definitely know more than us!"
"Let's go! Everyone, let's go! "
Under some people's instigation and the tacit agreement from the leaders, many people got up. The three sects formed groups and surged into the tunnel in a mighty wave.
Soon!
The hall of the royal mausoleum became empty.
