Chapter 406: Enemies Enter the Altar and Cause Trouble
Shen Qingzhu was about to ask about the third-rank officer's injuries when he was interrupted by his hurried tone: "Where's the Sword Saint? Was he led away?"
There was a barely perceptible tremor in San Xidi's voice, as if he was trying hard to suppress some emotion.
Upon hearing the news that the Sword Master had been led away, he was visibly relieved, and his tense body relaxed.
"Led away." Shen Qingzhu answered briefly, but his eyes fell on the altar.
The altar had been destroyed beyond recognition, as if it had been torn apart by some powerful force, revealing the mottled lines inside.
She was confused. The altar had been destroyed like this. What else could she do?
As if he had seen through Shen Qingzhu's doubts, the third seat raised a strange smile and said, "Do you think the altar is really destroyed?"
His words made Shen Qingzhu's heart tremble, and an inexplicable chill rose from the soles of her feet.
"The core of the altar is made of a special substance called 'source conductor'."
San Xidi's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell.
"As long as the source conductor remains, the altar can continue to repair itself."
He paused, a fiery light flashing in his eyes.
"I only need to inject two more days of spiritual energy into it to fully revive it!"
Shen Qingzhu was stunned. She looked at the three seats in front of her, then at the dilapidated altar, and her heart was filled with shock.
She couldn't imagine that an altar that was destroyed like this could actually be revived!
Excitement and enthusiasm were intertwined on San Xidi's face, as if he had already seen the scene after the altar was revived.
Shen Qingzhu's expression became increasingly subtle. She felt as if she had been caught up in a huge conspiracy...
"You..." Shen Qingzhu was about to speak when he suddenly heard a voice coming from the entrance of the passage...
"Where are the seventh and tenth seats?!"
A slightly hoarse voice broke the eerie silence.
Jiu Xidi's figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the passage like a gust of cold wind.
His face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and his face, which was already somewhat gloomy,
At this moment, there is a shadow of uneasiness, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.
His appearance made Shen Qingzhu's heart tighten, and the fanaticism in the eyes of the third man also subsided a little.
"They...they're gone."
Jiu Xidi's voice was low, with a hint of suppressed anger.
"I looked everywhere but couldn't find any trace of them, and..."
He paused, took a deep breath, and seemed to be trying hard to control his emotions. "I feel like there's an ominous aura spreading..."
Jiu Xidi's words seemed to cast another heavy shadow over the already gloomy atmosphere.
Shen Qingzhu felt a chill running down her spine. She looked at the third seat holder, and the smile on his face had completely disappeared.
Instead, there was a thoughtful expression, as if he was thinking about something.
At this moment, a deafening roar instantly tore through the oppressive silence.
“Boom——!!!” The entire underground space seemed to be shaking violently, and rocks from the top fell like raindrops.
"What the hell exploded?"
A voice with a hint of teasing and excitement came from above.
When everyone looked up, they saw a huge hole had been blasted open at the top of the underground space.
Amidst the smoke and dust, several figures wearing Journey to the West masks slowly descended.
Their appearance was like a bug that broke the dimensional wall, appearing both abrupt and strange.
The leader, wearing an exaggerated golden armor and holding a mace that exudes a captivating aura, is Lin Qiye!
Following closely behind him was a showy young man who looked around with a cynical smile on his face. It was Wu Hen.
Wu Hen was playing with a strange object similar to a dice in his hand. Obviously, this sudden "hole" incident was definitely his work.
When Jiang Er'er saw the figure of the third-ranked man, her eyes were instantly ignited with anger.
She tightly grasped the spear in her hand, and the powerful murderous aura made the air around her seem to solidify.
"You damned termites!"
Jiang Er'er's voice was filled with a hint of suppressed anger. Her eyes were like torches, staring at San Xidi intently, as if she wanted to devour him alive.
"Today, I will avenge my dead compatriots!"
Wu Hen touched his chin and looked at Jiang Er'er with interest, with a smile on his lips.
He muttered softly, "Tsk tsk tsk, this little hot pepper is quite powerful."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Qiye, squinted his eyes, and showed an expression that said "the show is about to begin."
"System, what do you think I should do next?" Wu Hen muttered to himself, the dice in his hand emitting a faint light...
"System, analyze the combat effectiveness of these guys."
Wu Hen appeared to be nonchalant on the surface, but he was secretly plotting something in his heart.
The dice in his hand grew slightly warm, and a line of small characters appeared before his eyes: [Third Place: Trash with a combat ability of five, Shen Qingzhu: An enhanced version of trash with a combat ability of five, Ninth Place: Barely considered a combat force. Host is advised to fight quickly to avoid any complications.]
Wu Hen almost laughed out loud when he saw this nonsensical system evaluation.
Lin Qiye did not speak, but his whole body was filled with a sharp sword aura, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand was buzzing. It was obvious that he was ready for battle.
He recognized San Xidi as one of the members of the Church of the Ancient God who had attacked them in the market.
New and old hatreds surged in Lin Qiye's heart.
When the third person saw that the matter was exposed, he thought to himself that something was wrong.
He glanced at the altar, then looked at the aggressive Lin Qiye and the cynical Wu Hen, and began to have second thoughts.
"Ninth Seat, Shen Qingzhu, the situation has changed, let's retreat first!" He lowered his voice and spoke in a hurried tone.
Shen Qingzhu frowned and said disapprovingly, "Retreat? Why should we retreat? They think they can stop us with just a few of them? Third Place, you're being too cautious!"
She looked around, her tone full of confidence.
"There are three of us here. Even if the Sword Saint is very strong, there are still Jiu Xidi holding him back. The only one left is Wu Hen, and I can deal with him alone!"
The third seat wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Shen Qingzhu: "Don't forget, when the Whisperer comes back and sees..."
Shen Qingzhu's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of the third person.
The Whisperer...
He is the supreme being in the church. If he knew that I failed to protect the altar, the consequences would be disastrous!
Cold sweat instantly soaked San Xidi's back. He gritted his teeth, a fierce look flashing in his eyes: "Okay, let's fight!"
A solemn and murderous atmosphere instantly spread out, and the air seemed to freeze.
Wu Hen whistled, looking relaxed: "Hey, it seems like you guys are serious about this? You should have said it earlier, otherwise I would have wasted my expression."
The dice in his hand spun around, as if mocking the enemy in front of him.
Jiu Xidi snorted coldly and stopped talking nonsense.
He opened his arms, and a powerful "infinite" state wave instantly erupted, sweeping out like a raging storm.
"Just like you ants, you think you can get your hands on the altar? Wishful thinking!" Before he finished speaking, his figure turned into a shadow and rushed straight towards Lin Qiye.
Shen Qingzhu was not willing to be outdone. She let out a delicate cry, and the long sword in her hand spit out its tongue like a spirit snake, flashing with cold light, and went straight for Wu Hen.
"Well done!"
Lin Qiye's eyes were burning with fighting spirit, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand made a crisp sound. The sword light was like a rainbow, and he met the attack of Jiu Xidi.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so impatient, the fun has just begun."
Wu Hen dodged Shen Qingzhu's attack easily with a flash of his body, still with that cynical smile on his face.
The dice in his hand flashed with light, and he muttered to himself, "Heaven and earth, please help me, Taishang Laojun, please command me... grant me divine power!"
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the ground shook violently...
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the ground shook violently, and a huge "meat bomb" exploded in front of Wu Hen. White smoke spread instantly, blocking everyone's vision.
"What the hell?" Shen Qingzhu was startled by this sudden change, and the sword in his hand stagnated.
The smoke dissipated and a white figure slowly emerged.
It has the outline of a human figure, but it appears vague, as if it is made up of countless tiny white silk threads.
Its appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Wow, surprise?" Wu Hen whistled with a playful look on his face.
"Anything produced by the system must be top-notch! This is the 'White Shadow' I just summoned, specially to give trouble to you 'Old Six'."
The white shadow ignored Wu Hen's teasing. It floated like a ghost and came in front of Jiu Xidi in an instant.
Before Jiu Xidi could react, he was suddenly hit by the white shadow, and his whole body flew backwards like a cannonball!
"Bang!" With a loud noise, Jiu Xidi's body fell heavily on San Xidi, and the two of them rolled into a ball.
"What?!" The third and ninth seats exclaimed at the same time. They never expected that the situation would suddenly change so dramatically.
Shen Qingzhu was stunned at first, then a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She seemed to have thought of something,
"Haha, it seems like it's time for some people to log off."
Wu Hen stretched out a finger and shook it in the air.
"Next, it's my turn to perform!"
The dice in his hand emitted a faint light again, and an inexplicable light seemed to flash in Wu Hen's eyes.
He winked at Shen Qingzhu, a hint of teasing in his eyes. A wicked smile appeared on his face, and he muttered, "Mind control, activate!"
"Ah!" Shen Qingzhu screamed, covering his head, as if he had been hit hard, and his body began to shake.
"Tsk tsk tsk, little sister, your body is very honest." Wu Hen smiled evilly, pointing his finger at the third seat, "Go!"
Shen Qingzhu seemed to be under control, his eyes were empty, he raised his sword, shouted, and rushed towards the third seat.
Seeing this, Jiu Xidi also stood up and joined the attack as if possessed.
"What's going on here?!"
San Xidi was completely confused. He looked at the two teammates who suddenly turned against him and was completely dumbfounded. Did he not check the almanac before going out today?
The situation of eight against one was formed instantly, and the third place felt as if fate had strangled him by the throat.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that his throat was blocked and no sound came out.
San Xidi was completely stunned by the chaotic scene in front of him.
