Chapter 1183 - Pyramid (1/2)

Thousand-faced Human Fox walked in front with the Ice Jade. Wherever he went, the liquefied mercury around him would instantly freeze to form a silver floor. When they walked on it, they would only feel it sink slightly, but they would not completely drown in it.

Everyone in the hall had pretty decent lightness skills. They knew that this was because the Ice Jade was not strong enough to affect the entire mercury moat. They tapped against the floor and quickly followed behind Thousand-faced Human Box. Soon, they arrived at the middle section of the mercury moat.

In the blink of an eye, the group entered the mercury moat.

Martial Paragon Bi Xuan’s subordinates were rather unlucky.

When they noticed something strange about Thousand-faced Human Fox, they discussed with each other and wanted to rush over as well. However, the distance was too far. When two among the group stepped on the floor, the mercury became slightly soft, and the powerful suction force instantly dragged them under. They died miserable deaths.

The others might have managed to remain aloft by sheer luck after they executed their body movements, they were still unable to join the group. They accidentally sucked in poisonous gas, and they died in the moat one after another.

And hence, all the subordinates Martial Paragon Bi Xuan brought to the desert palace died. He was now alone.

Happy only watched this by the side coldly. He never extended a hand to help.

Martial Paragon Bi Xuan and the old zither player were different.

The old zither player was the sect master of Zither Sect. He was merciful and kind by nature. However, Martial Paragon Bi Xuan was the national master of the Turks. The goal of his trip was the treasures in the desert palace. For it, he would not even mind sacrificing all his subordinates. If he saved Bi Xuan’s people, not only would he not be able to gain any benefits while they competed for the treasures, he would just be letting his enemy become stronger.

Happy would definitely not do something as stupid as this.

When he heard Bi Xuan’s subordinates fall into the mercury moat, he acted as if he did not hear them. He just continued moving forward.

The old zither player might not be able to help but sigh, but as of current, he understood his status and position in the group. Happy was the leader of the group, and it would not be good for him to cause Happy more trouble as well as increase the risk between them. He could only watch Bi Xuan’s subordinates die in the mercury moat.

Wan Wan and Hou Xibai quietly followed in the group. They did not dare make a sound. They were worried that if they spoke, they would suck in poisonous gas, and things would be too late for them.

The group quietly arrived 162 feet away from the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds.

Less than 162 feet behind the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds was a huge pyramid with four sides. It looked like a sacrificial altar.

The pyramid was completely surrounded by the mercury moat. Less than 98 feet of it was revealed. The swordsman in black armor, Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, Dongfang Bubai, Ye Gucheng, Evil King, Empress Yin, and Osaya were nowhere to be found.

“…”

Happy was slightly stunned, and he felt a little puzzled. ‘Where did the people in the dao of heaven go?’

But while he remained puzzled, he could not ignore the Fire Spitting Beasts of Flames either.

This was the greatest threat in the mercury moat!

At that moment…

“Up!”

The group had been notified of the plan a long time ago, and they reached their designated positions. As Thousand-faced Human Fox gave his orders, they reacted at the same time. They quickly tapped against the mercury floor and held their breaths to jump higher into the air. They braced themselves and flew in the direction of the Fire Spitting Beasts of Flames.

If Bi Xuan and the others were on the opposite side, they would definitely think that this group had gone mad. They were clearly just flying to their own deaths.

But at the moment they pounced into the Fire Spitting Beasts of Flames’ attack range, Thousand-faced Human Fox quickly flicked his wrist. The Ice Jade he had been holding in his hand was swiftly thrown into a Fire Spitting Beast of Flames’ mouth.

The burning flames and pungent smell of phosphorus instantly faded away in the Fire Spitting Beast of Flames’ mouth.

The savage light shining in its eyes also became darker.

The divine weapon in attacking cities looked as if it had started choking.

It could not spit out the phosphorus flames that were in its throat.

The group was incredibly excited, and they were delighted. They quickly chased behind Thousand-faced Human Fox. They swiftly used the Fire Spitting Beast of Flames’ as a platform, and one after another, they jumped over the Fire Spitting Beast of Flame to land on the stairs at the base of the pyramid.

The pyramid was really grand. Even though only 98 feet of it was revealed outside, each foundation was incredibly sturdy and large. Each level was three feet tall.

When they landed on the stone staircase of the pyramid, they instantly found themselves incredibly small.

Thud thud!

The group landed on the pyramid while completely unharmed. They managed to safely arrive at the place.

From the start to the end, the group did not know why the Fire Spitting Beast of Flame did not cough up those phosphorus flames. Even though they were certain that it was related to the old servant beside the white-clad teenager, they were very sensible and did not ask for answers. The old zither player and his group wrapped their fists in their palms and thanked them at the same time.

“Thank you, Young Swordsman Happy.”

“I wonder where they are now. We have to search for them quickly!” Happy did not have the mood to exchange pleasantries right now. After they landed on the staircase, he instantly had his spirit sense cover the entire pyramid. He only found a tunnel that could allow a few people enter it at a time at the top of the pyramid.

A small, square-shaped tunnel was opened at the back of the pyramid. It was dark inside, and he could not have his spirit sense reach inside. Happy guessed that the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance as well as the other people in the dao of heaven should have entered the pyramid.

Besides, there was a huge possibility that the secret of the desert palace was hidden inside the pyramid, and it was the catastrophic item Thousand-faced Human Fox and the old zither player believed was here!

“Let’s go!”

Happy tapped against the group and moved to the top of the pyramid.

“Let’s follow him.”

The old zither player did not break his promise. With one order, he brought his surviving barbarians and quickly followed after him.

Wan Wan and Hou Xibai were also wondering whether their masters had succeeded. They followed behind the barbarians and did not dare fall back too much. With each step they took, they moved up several steps on the stairs.

When they were about to reach the top of the pyramid, the pyramid suddenly started trembling madly.
