Chapter 1360: Chapter 1360: Falling into the Tomb Chamber, One Hundred Thousand Terracotta Warriors! (3/3)
When Netherworld King and Blackie awoke, they found themselves in a dimly lit great hall.
However, many people were missing from their surroundings, such as Shi Sheng and Fang Qiong.
The Crown Prince, Jiu Bailu, and the Holy Son of Xuan Ming, along with Huang Jun of the Huang troop, were not far away.
There were also a dozen people from other factions.
It seemed that the collapse was not a simple one.
During the fall, people had lost consciousness without knowing how long they were falling, and some were separated from the group.
Recalling what the Tomb Guardian skeletons had said, it seemed that the real danger and the real opportunities were here.
The Crown Prince and Jiu Bailu approached Netherworld King and Blackie.
The Holy Son also stood next to Jiu Bailu.
"It looks like this is the underground tomb chamber," said the Crown Prince.
Looking around, although there was no natural light source, there were glazed lamps affixed high on the walls, emitting a faint, yellow glow.
At that moment, Blackie suddenly walked forward to a massive pit!
"Come and see," Blackie said solemnly next to the pit.
Driven by curiosity, everyone walked towards it and looked down into the pit with a sharp intake of breath.
In this seemingly bottomless pit, there were row upon row of terracotta soldiers, like a daunting army in the darkness.
However, in the dark depths, there was a ring of light that formed the shape of a door.
"It looks like we must get past these terracotta soldiers," shrugged Netherworld King. "But with a no-fly zone here, we have no choice but to walk. And without a doubt, these terracotta soldiers will attack us."
Blackie nodded in agreement.
Well, this was the experience of many years exploring secret realms.
"Then it seems we are in for a fierce battle," said the Crown Prince helplessly.
At that moment, the Holy Son looked at Jiu Bailu and said with a gentle smile, "Bailu, walk with me. I’ll protect you. These terracotta soldiers won’t be able to get anywhere near you."
Bailu replied coldly, "No need. Holy Son, just take care of yourself."
Blackie, dismissive, said, "Indeed, you’re not needed. We will protect Junior Brother Mu’s sister."
The Crown Prince, however, said helplessly, "The royal sister probably doesn’t need your protection. In fact, we might need her help when the time comes."
Jiu Bailu tapped the Crown Prince’s head. "Alright, stop complaining. Let’s go down, or they probably won’t make a move."
Glancing at the others standing on the edge of the pit, looking at one another with no one willing to be the first to act as cannon fodder.
But what was the point?
There was only this one path, no way back. They had to get past this army of terracotta soldiers to successfully reach the next location.
Unless they wanted to stay trapped here forever...
Impatient, Huang Jun let out a scornful laugh, "A bunch of useless cowards. Don’t you even have that bit of courage?"
With that, Huang Jun leaped down among the troops of terracotta soldiers, moving forward while saying, "People of the deserts, follow me! Don’t be like those outsiders, a bunch of shrinking turtles waiting for others to go first!"
At Huang Jun’s words, several people from the desert factions also jumped down.
Seeing this, Netherworld King and the others also took the leap.
The moment they descended, the previously immobile terracotta soldiers suddenly showed flashes of black fire.
With the sound of rustling, groups of terracotta soldiers wielding spears suddenly thrust toward the newcomers!
Netherworld King and the others’ faces tightened, their muscles already taut, and as the attack came, they reacted instantly, striking back!
Ye Qiubai drew the Aged Gold Divine Sword from its sheath, and the Tao Rule of Sword soared into the sky! The Sword Domain covered the entire area.
Blackie launched a punch directly.
The Crown Prince sent out a palm strike, his colossal Buddhist palm print meeting those spears head-on.
Jiu Bailu, light as cotton, swiftly dodged to one side, and as she waved her hand, streaks of golden palm imprints blasted out towards the surroundings!
The Holy Son of Xuan Ming sneered, "I want to see just how capable you all are," and he struck back as well.
However, the moment everyone’s attacks made contact with the spears, their expressions instantly stiffened!
They did not sense any realm aura from the bodies of the terracotta soldiers!
But the might of these thrusting spears had already reached at least the Divine Emperor Realm!
Could it be that every single one of these terracotta soldiers had attained the Divine Emperor Realm?
With this thought, everyone’s faces began to look unsightly.
If there were only dozens or hundreds, it would still be manageable, at least they could cope.
But there were more than just a few hundred here!
Tens of thousands? Even hundreds of thousands were possible!
With such a vast number, unless there was an absolute power suppression, they would be ground down even if it took grinding to death!
"We can’t just force our way through like this," Ye Qiubai said gravely, "We must launch our attacks at the same time to inflict large-scale effective damage. Only then can we preserve our strength to break through to the end."
The Crown Prince nodded in agreement.
Under their combined assault, the attacking terracotta soldiers in front of them turned to dust.
However, the terracotta soldiers at a distance remained still.
Jiu Bailu saw through this and said, "As long as we don’t step into their attack range, these terracotta soldiers will not strike. We can use this to our advantage to push forward."
If this was the case, perhaps it wasn’t as difficult; they just needed to retreat to a place without terracotta soldiers to recover when their immortal aura was excessively depleted. It would just take more time.
But just as Jiu Bailu finished speaking,
The powdery dust on the ground from the previously destroyed terracotta soldiers began to float up and started to reassemble; in just two breaths’ time, a terracotta soldier was restored to its original state!
Seeing this,
Everyone’s heart started to sink.
This was a big problem.
In this way, there would be no time to recover.
They could only keep pushing forward rapidly.
At that moment, Blackie roared, "I’ll charge in the front, you all follow and attack behind me!"
Without hesitation, everybody quickly lined up behind Blackie and followed his charge, advancing their attack.
After all, they had all witnessed Blackie’s bloodline ability; he was the only one among them who could heal quickly and effectively.
Moreover, Blackie did not require immortal aura.
This obstacle was, in a sense, inherently advantageous for a body cultivator like Blackie.
Elsewhere, not far away, Huang Jun and the others watched as Blackie and his group rapidly advanced, even surpassing them, which caused their expressions to darken slightly.
"We can’t let them reach the destination faster than us," Huang Jun snarled with a sinister smile, "If there’s an opportunity behind that door, we won’t even get to sip the soup."
Having said that, Huang Jun smashed a few terracotta soldiers in front of him, then turned to the people behind him and said, "Follow me, we’ll gradually get closer to them and interfere with their progress!"
