284 An Enchanting Sigh (2/2)

The soldier puppets had already shown just how sturdy their bodies were. The group had to surround them and attack for more than one minute before they could destroy them, and that was when One Circle had grabbed all of the attention, which allowed the rest of the players to avoid a lot of threats. If more of the puppets came along, the sects would definitely not be able to handle the fight. They might even die.

”Then what should we do?”

Even though they had just been engaged in a short confrontation, the group could already sense an even grimmer and more dangerous presence in the second level compared to the first.

Regardless if it were ninjas or the soldier puppets, the difficulty level was much greater than before.

A thought struck Happy, and he said to the disciples from the four sects, ”I'll go ahead and scout the path. I'll tell you beforehand about the places with many soldier puppets, but if I run into ninjas, I'll take care of them on my own.”

”Alright!”

Everyone's spirits lifted at his words, and they swiftly agreed to it.

Happy turned around and left.

”Be careful.”

In the end, Phoenix Dances still could not hold herself back and warn him.

Happy stopped for a moment and turned his head around to cast a glance at Phoenix Dances, who had a faint flush on her face. He smiled and said, ”Don't worry, when I came over, I checked my fate with fortune. It's not too high, so I shouldn't be so lucky as to run into Ninja King.”

Everyone was taken aback by his words, then the next moment, they could not hold themselves back from laughing.

*****

When Happy was one hundred and nine yards away, a fork appeared in front of him. There were winding paths to both sides, and based on what he saw on the map, the two tunnels took a few turns to lead to different tombs.

Happy did not hesitate and headed left!

It was where one of the national treasures in the second level was placed!

However, that item was rather unique. It could be said to only be semi-completed. Back in the day, the prime minister had suggested creating it, but up until the moment Yan Dynasty was destroyed, it had never been finished…

Nation Protecting Divine Sword!

Since it missed out on the final step of its creation, it was just a normal sword. Once Yan Dynasty was destroyed, the craftsman in charge of creating the sword vanished, which was why the process of creating the sword was halted, and it was locked in a tomb within the royal mausoleum. Eight general puppets with high ranks and extraordinary combat abilities were tasked with protecting it.

Since there was hope for Happy to complete the quest, he had to retrieve that Nation Protecting Divine Sword!

The Old Swordsman served as a guard for the heirloom. Even if the four sects sent all their people, they would not be able to take it away. Hence, Happy had decided to first take the Nation Protecting Divine Sword.

While he was on his way, he activated all the soldier puppets along his path.

But since he had the protective incense pouch with him, the soldiers soon became calm again. They did not return to their petrified states though. They just stood in their place and looked around them with cold gazes.

Usually, when there were soldiers around, ninjas would not appear.

They were tomb robbers, and the soldiers would not show any mercy to them. Hence, if Happy saw soldiers on his way, he did not see any ninjas.

He faced no danger while he dashed to the entrance of the tomb with Nation Protecting Divine Sword!

Once he reached the entrance, Happy recorded the information of all the soldiers he saw on the way before he sent a messenger pigeon to Phoenix Dances. Then, his gaze focused. He tightened his grip over Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword and entered the tomb filled with the luxurious and noble air belonging to the royal family…

There was a weapon box with an ancient design placed quietly on a smooth stage made of jade.

Whoosh!

The eight soldier puppets protecting the area woke up at the same time, and eight pairs of cold and merciless eyes fixed upon Happy, who had intruded into the tomb.
