"Strange, why haven't I seen the Evil Snake Warriors? Something isn't right," Anna observed her surroundings.
From what she knew, there were always a bunch of Evil Snake Warriors patrolling the area around the Sunset Shrine, preventing humans and other species from approaching the sacred shrine.
However, they did not see many Evil Snake Warriors on their way here. The few that they did see were roaming aimlessly, as if they were just looking for delicious prey.
The afterglow illuminated the sand in an orange-gold color. The ruins of the ancient temple, which were covered in weeds and vines, seemed to have regained its former glory under the influence of the sunset. For a moment, one's sight seemed to have transcended the shackles of time and space and appeared in the horizon and the sunset. It was an ancient, mysterious, and godlike temple!
"There aren't any guards. Were they massacred, or were they driven somewhere else? The question is, if this is the entrance to the evil shrine, doesn't that mean we can enter it as we please?" Ling Ling fell into deep thought.
"Roses, it's a golden Cold Rain Rose. It's full of unique plants. It looks like we've come to the right place!" Jiang Binming suddenly yelled in excitement. He pointed at the vines that were blossoming brilliantly under the setting sun.
Rose vines as thin as golden threads could be seen winding around the old sites of the shrines. As for the flowers that had already bloomed, their color was a rather pure red. When the sand and wind swept past, they swayed like flames.
The golden Cold Rain Rose was even more outstanding. Its golden petals were clustered together, as if it was made of real gold. It was so beautiful that it was breathtaking. It was no wonder that the price of the golden Cold Rain Rose was not inferior to gold in the market!
Professor Tong Zhouzheng was leading the way. He had also seen the Sunset Shrine from afar.
"Old Xiluo, go ahead and take a look. I have a feeling that there might be some kind of danger if we're able to reach the Sunset Shrine so easily," Professor Tong Zhouzheng said to the expert he had hired, Old Xiluo.
Old Xiluo was the leader of a mercenary group in Egypt. Since his group was disbanded, he had become the bodyguard of many nobles and royalty.
Old Xiluo's face was covered in stubble, and his messy brown hair was reeking of alcohol. The students and graduate students of the Hunter Institute had a bad impression of him since he joined the group.
"I don't really want to come to a place like this. It's just the title of the Hunter Competition. Do you really care about it?" Old Xiluo said unwillingly while chewing on a piece of tobacco.
"If you don't do your job well, your mansion, your yacht, and those little European models are going to leave you. Stop acting like they're going to be scrapped at any moment. You're a Magician with three Elements at the Super Level..... You should show them what you're capable of," Tong Zhouzheng said Xiluo........
It could be seen that Tong Zhouzheng and Old Xiluo had a good relationship, and it shouldn't be a purely employer-employee relationship.
"Your team is very average. I can't help but feel that not many of you will survive," Old Xiluo said.
"Cough, cough. We can all hear you," Eldest Senior Brother Chen He said.
"They're all my students. As their teacher, it's my duty to teach them some outdoor knowledge. Many of them are quite outstanding," Tong Zhouzheng said.
"Alright, I'll go take a look," Old Xiluo put a new piece of tobacco into his mouth.
He was wearing a very old leather coat, and when he walked, he gave off the feeling of a drunkard. However, when he approached the Sunset Shrine, one could feel that his entire temperament had changed. He was no longer a cripple who tripped over himself. His back was like a fearless ferocious beast, and the surrounding wind and sand were no longer messy. Instead, they formed a specific path in an orderly manner ….
Old Xiluo's figure gradually turned blurry as the dust rose. A part of the Sunset Shrine was shrouded in a hazy yellow dust. The blooming roses under the cold rain also disappeared from the group's sight.
The group waited patiently. Even though they did not see any powerful demon creatures, the Sunset Shrine was still a mysterious and eerie place. Some things were not visible to the naked eye.
…
"Why's he taking so long?" Guan Yao asked worriedly as she looked at the yellow dust that lingered in the air.
"He should be exploring more thoroughly. The main thing is to make sure there aren't any Snake Demons above the Monarch rank, or something of the same level," Professor Tong Zhouzheng said.
"What if he can't come out? Should we …" Chen He said.
"If he can't come out, all of you will have to leave immediately," Professor Tong Zhouzheng said sternly.
With Old Xiluo's strength, if he was trapped or faced a great danger, none of Tong Zhouzheng's students would survive.
"There's a figure. He seems to be back," Jiang Binming said.
Jiang Binming's eyesight seemed to be better than ordinary people's. The others did not see anything.
A few minutes later, Old Xiluo returned to the group. His expression was normal, and he was still chewing on a special piece of tobacco.
"Damn it, it's so winding inside, I almost lost my way. It's not dangerous. There's not even a decent Great Demon. You can go in and take a look, "Old Xiluo complained.
Ling Ling stared at Old Xiluo. For some reason, she had a feeling that the Old Xiluo who had just returned was a little different from before. As for what it was exactly, Ling Ling could not recall.
"I thought something happened to you," Tong Zhouzheng said.
"What could have happened to me? It's just that I didn't see any Pharaoh Spring. Perhaps you'll find nothing," Old Xiluo said.
Old Xiluo led the way. Everyone passed through the sand that blocked their vision.
It was strange that the ancient Sunset Temple seemed to be protected by some mysterious power. No matter how cold the wind outside was, not a single grain of sand entered the temple that was riddled with holes. There was not even a speck of dust. Even though there were weeds and vines in some places, the sand of the Bargo Land was kept outside the door.
After passing through the sand, the Sunset Temple's Cold Rain Roses were even more beautiful. They were so close that they could smell their fragrance.
"Hiss hiss hiss ~!"
Before they could appreciate it, a soft sound came from the surroundings.
Dusk and night were at the intersection point. The darkness, but it was not completely pitch-black. It made the abandoned altars, stone pillars, statues, and walls of the Sunset Temple look especially strange and evil …
"What a dense Demonic Aura!" Professor Tong Zhouzheng frowned and looked at Old Xiluo suspiciously.
Old Xiluo's expression changed slightly. When Ling Ling looked at him again, she suddenly realized what was different about Old Xiluo.
The color of his eyes!
His eyes were originally black, but when he returned, they had turned into a light gold color …
At that time, Ling Ling thought it was the reflection of the sunset in his eyes. However, now that it was almost night time, she realized that his eyes had not returned to black!
