A mysterious crisis, slaughtering one another
Su Zhan carefully inspected the entire hall, then said, "Let's leave here and go to the next place."
He could tell that this was all the information there was, and the most valuable items were the Murals. As for the surrounding Artifact, since they were all placed in the hall, there was nothing of importance about them.
The platform in the middle doesn't hold any secrets yet, but the floating Talismans around it likely form other Formation.
Staying here would only risk triggering undiscovered mechanisms or other dangers; in short, there's no point in staying.
Everyone wanted to leave, but they disagreed, as the Tomb Passage here were interconnected.
The main Tomb Passage are divided into four directions: east, south, west, and north. Each large tomb is surrounded by numerous smaller burial chambers.
They had serious disagreements about where to explore.
Some say that the tomb passages here are arranged according to the directions of the Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.
Some people think that the Moon Worship Tribe here doesn't follow these customs at all, and it's definitely not based on this; there must be other customs.
If one is not careful, one might encounter unknown dangers by going to the wrong place. Some people even feel that they should stay here to explore and look for clues.
As they were arguing fiercely, Su Zhan suddenly spoke up, "Go to the left."
Everyone asked in surprise, "How did you know we had to go this way first?"
Su Zhan said, "Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth." He then showed everyone the various monsters he had released.
Seeing how shrewd Su Zhan was, everyone stopped hesitating and followed him to the front.
But as they walked, they felt a sudden dizziness, as if they had entered another world.
To their surprise, they discovered that each path and room seemed to have been divided into different spaces.
They looked back at the hall they had just stepped out of; they had only taken two steps, but the hall was already hundreds of meters away from them.
Seeing their surprised expressions, Su Zhan said, "It's alright, it's not that we can't get through, it's just that it will be a bit troublesome. Since we're here, let's explore this place quickly."
They continued walking forward. There were countless rooms, but in the little demon's eyes, Su Zhan saw that many of the rooms were fake, containing only traps and the remains of some people who had mistakenly wandered in.
Su Zhan ignored them and simply guided each of them to explore the actual tomb chamber.
After they went inside, they all burst into laughter with joy.
"Treasure, treasure, my treasure..."
"Hahaha, they're all mine, nobody can take them!"
He then began frantically looting items from the Secret Room and stuffing them into his body. Even after filling all his containers and space, he was still not satisfied.
"No! Take them all, they're all mine..."
He changed his gaze randomly, staring at others with a chilling look.
He kept chanting, "Treasure, treasure, it's all mine... all mine..."
Su Zhan then realized that even these supposedly safe tombs were not safe; they contained things that could bewitch people and incite their greed.
The treasures inside would instantly drive these people into a trance, causing them to frantically attack their companions who had come with them.
In their eyes, these were all bad people who had come to steal his treasure. They had to kill them all so they could keep his treasure for themselves; otherwise, these people would take it all away.
Su Zhan is so nervous, it could really cause problems!
Unexpectedly, such a big problem has arisen as soon as they entered. Although these people are highly skilled, they have no way to resist the various strange mental attacks here.
Su Zhan wasn't very confident he could bring them back to their senses, so he quickly conjured a large Space Barrier to block them out.
But these people had gone mad, summoning their strongest weapons and unleashing attack after attack on Su Zhan's barrier.
Su Zhan knew in his heart that he couldn't hold on like this for long.
They brought in about ten people, but only he, Elder Shishan, and another Martial Emperor are currently conscious.
The two men also realized something was wrong, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads. The Elder quickly asked Su Zhan, "What do we do? What do we do? What do we do now? They seem to have gone mad."
Su Zhan: "Now you're asking me what to do? How am I supposed to know?"
He only knew that the ancient Moon Worship Tribe were practitioners of spiritual law, possessing various powerful abilities such as control, Contract establishment, and the forced determination of Karma Threads.
Unexpectedly, he managed to make his teammates kill each other so effortlessly.
This is only the outermost layer; what dangers will we encounter if we explore further in?
Su Zhan was covered in cold sweat and gritted his teeth.
He turned around and started searching everywhere. Before the two people beside him could figure out what he was doing, Su Zhan also scolded him, "Hurry up and look!"
The two men were busy, so they asked him what he was looking for.
Su Zhan: "Find a solution. I don't believe they left nothing here."
Didn't they ever consider that their descendants might come here? They would surely have left clues and solutions.
Elder Shishan froze, clearly having also considered these points, and joined the camp that had initially been developing the project.
They had absolutely no clues. Su Zhan grew increasingly anxious; if they couldn't find a solution soon, the communication via the space channel wouldn't last much longer.
The idea that he could find a solution and the Artifact here is merely a guess. What if he really can't find them?
The three of them had to contend with nearly ten super-strong individuals whose combat power had skyrocketed after their demonic powers Demon-Sealing.
Is there really a chance of winning? Just thinking about it sent a chill down his spine. Was he really going to die here today?
He was anxious, constantly observing the barrier's appearance. Seeing that the barrier's energy was getting weaker and weaker and was about to be broken, he forced himself to calm down.
Ask yourself what you've overlooked; there must be something you've neglected. What is it?
Aha! He suddenly remembered that when they arrived, wasn't that strange-looking column in the center of the hall? What were they supposed to put into that rounded groove in the middle?
His first thought was naturally to choose blood, because due to his role in the Drum Tribe's High Priest, he had a special feeling for blood.
Now that I've calmed down a bit, I understand. It's clearly not blood; the volume of the upper hemisphere on the platform is too large.
Moreover, the shape of that platform is highly suggestive; it doesn't seem to be about wanting blood, but something else entirely.
It's very likely that this thing is nearby.
