362 Charge Through the First Level (1/2)
This is what happened.
When the players, which had been delayed for some five minutes, entered the royal mausoleum, they activated their body fortifications and qi realms with incredible wariness, but they did not receive the splitting throwing knives that they thought would come at them.
The hall of the royal mausoleum was deadly still and quiet, and there was no sign of life in it!
When they looked up, they saw that the sturdy Ghost Fact Wall had an irregular hole broken through its middle in an incredibly strange fashion. They looked through it, and they saw that there were Knife-throwing Ninjas' corpses everywhere in the cave.
The group was completely dumbfounded!
It had to be known that they had cooperated with Lu Mingyue and not entered the royal mausoleum because someone needed to attract the fire power of the Knife-throwing Ninjas and because Ghost Face Wall was very sturdy. Completely destroying it required nearly one hundred powerful attacks from Mystical Realm martial arts, which was why they had let Happy enter alone.
By the looks of it though, their schemes had fallen short.
Happy had not completely destroyed Ghost Face Wall, but had instead only opened a hole.
Based on it, Happy had to have withstood great firepower while attacking the same spot until he opened the entrance, which was simply unbelievable. Just how great was his defense to do such a thing?
Even though Happy had helped them solve a problem, he also created an even greater one!
Right then, only one person could get through Ghost Face Wall at a time. So once more people arrived inside, all the people behind became angry. If they had to wait for their turn to enter the hole, then the resources in the first level would be completely taken away by Happy and the others.
The players executed their strongest attacks at the same time and attacked Ghost Face Wall madly. Like that, they broke through the obstacle that forced them to stop in their tracks.
Time was money.
Everyone rushed into the tunnel at their fastest speed!
*****
When they went inside, they became even more alarmed by what they saw.
The ninjas' corpses were pressed closely to each other. Whoever had killed them had clearly not wasted a lot of time on them. He easily killed them with just a few slashes.
Everyone was shocked by Happy's strength, and the mood gradually sank. The more certain they became that Happy had quickly killed the ninjas, the higher the possibility that he was already very far ahead of them became. The probability of meeting any ninjas along the way also dropped.
The decrease in resources meant that their chances of getting anything became very low!
Aside from increasing their speed and charging ahead at full power, they could do nothing about it.
When they saw the brocade boxes that had not been touched in the side halls, they could not help themselves and put their hands on them.
The value of the items in the brocade box might not be high, but the ninjas who appeared after they triggered the mechanisms had a certain chance of having some rewards.
Of course, there were still some people whose attention was not diverted by the items along the way. They just charged forward without stopping deeper into the tunnel.
*****
”Damn it!”
”Life and Death Circuit is cleared as well.”
”Continue chasing after him! He should be nearby!”
A group of people arrived at Life and Death Circuit. They stopped for a few seconds at the entrance, then cursed and headed further into the depths of the royal mausoleum.
As they hastily ventured deeper, they found that the number of ninjas' corpses in the tunnel had increased.
Among them were Cloning Ninjas, Shadow Warriors, and Shadow Ninjas. By the looks of it, even Life and Death Realm ninjas could not stop Happy from moving forward or even slow him down.
”Damn it.”
”Almost half of the ninjas in the first level died in his hands.”
The group that led the charge did not just have outstanding lightness skills, but were also elites on the Dragon Rank. At that moment, their expressions were incredibly unpleasant.
”There were at least two hundred corpses on our way here. Even if we worked together, we would not have been able to reach this place within such a short amount of time. Just what sort of monster is he?”
One of them did not say anything.
There was one man with Golden Gloves in the team, and he instructed his companions with a solemn expression. ”No matter what, if we run into him later, don't provoke him, and don't kill-steal him. Otherwise, if something happens, don't blame me for abandoning you.”
All he got for his kindness was a mass wave of eyerolls.
