The changes in the cave slowly subsided, and Zhang Qishan and the other two arrived at the end of the passage.
"Lord Zeng, you discovered the trap long ago?”
Looking at the city wall in the distance, it had already undergone earth-shattering changes. An altar filled with the smell of blood appeared in front of them.
"En, I have some guesses. Let's go and see what's on this altar.”
Stepping on the stairs that appeared beside the rock wall, the three of them came to the ground and walked toward the altar.
The altar that had not been activated for many years looked as if it had just been sacrificed.
The smell of blood rushed into his nose. The steps were slightly slippery, and it was unknown how many layers were covered in blood.
"This entire place is like an Asura Arena. How many people did you kill back then? That's why the smell of blood is still here?"
Old Yang had been well protected by Zhe Gushao all these years. This was the first time he had seen such a scene, and he could not hide the anger in his heart.
Zhang Qishan raised his head and looked up. His expression was grim and his tone was cold.
"Old Yang, there's something you're wrong about. The smell of blood isn't left behind, but rather, someone has recently performed a blood sacrifice.”
"Take a closer look at the steps above. The outermost layer of blood has yet to fade.”
"What is it? How many people do we have to kill?" Zhe Gu Shao couldn't believe it. Who could be so ruthless?
"Let's go up and take a look.”
Zhang Qishan's foot landed on the steps of the altar. Before he could take a step, he heard a "pu pu" sound.
The originally dim cave became bright. Eternal lamps lit up on both sides of the altar's steps, and green smoke rose.
It was a human oil lamp.
Along the steps of the altar, the feeling under their feet was constantly changing. It was getting softer and smoother.
The outermost layer of the blood had not completely adhered, which confirmed Zhang Qishan's words.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
"Lord Zeng, be careful."
The sound of the crossbow was heard. Old Yang and Chen Yulou reminded him in unison and quickly took out their weapons.
Ding ding dang dang--
Zhang Qishan did not panic at all. He calmly waved his dagger and shot down all five arrows.
"Halt."
Zhang Qishan frowned. He had not closed his Golden Eyes.
He hadn't seen any traps along the way, so how did this arrow appear?
He opened his mouth to remind them.
"Be prepared to make a move. There's something wrong here. We didn't trigger the mechanism before.”
"Continue."
They set off again. Zhang Qishan walked in front, Chen Yulou and Old Yang followed on both sides of him, holding weapons and guarding the surroundings.
Perhaps it was because they realized that the mechanism was not working, they waited until they reached the last step and did not receive any attacks.
Wu---
A strange woman's whimper suddenly sounded.
Zhang Qishan's heart was as calm as water. He looked around at the situation on the altar and was not disturbed.
Chen Yulou and Old Yang tightened their grip on their weapons, ready to strike at any moment.
"Earthstone Blood Mill, offering humans to the heavens?"
Zhang Qishan's gaze fell on the object in the center of the altar, and his tone was a little angry.
"Come out. Is this generation's Mountain Guardian so irresponsible?”
"Humph, a rat who hides his head and shows his tail."
"Hahahaha…"
Laughter that could not be distinguished between male and female rang out, filling the entire cave. It was impossible to tell the exact location. The other party was very cautious.
"Good, as expected of Lord Zhang of the Nine Gates. Originally, I didn't think much of the Nine Gates of Sand City, but I didn't expect you to make me look at you in a new light today.”
"Lord Zhang, do you recognize this Blood Mill Priest? How did you guess my existence?"
Zhang Qishan secretly searched for this person's figure and replied calmly.
"Is it difficult to guess your existence? If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being careful enough.”
"On the way here, I've already noticed something following behind me. Although my Nine Gates hasn't been famous for long, I've heard of Mountain Guardian's Paper Figurine Secret Technique.”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhang Qishan took out his pistol and casually pulled the trigger.
Crash!
In the surprised eyes of Chen Yulou and the other woman, several broken paper figures fell from the sky, and the woman's whimpers disappeared.
"Good marksmanship, Zhang Qishan. You win this round. I'll wait for you behind.”
"Oh, right, let me give you a reminder. While we were chatting just now, I helped you release a new friend.”
"He will take good care of you for me, haha…"
As the wild laughter disappeared, a loud sound came from below the altar. The stone mill in the middle was directly opened, and a huge figure jumped out.
"Lord Zeng, this is bad. This is a tomb suppressing beast controlled by an array.”
"Senior Brother and I encountered it once before, and it was very difficult to deal with. At the same time, we had to pay attention to the traps and hidden arrows on the Gravekeeper Beast.”
With the altar destroyed, Zhang Qishan stared at the Tomb Suppressing Beast that had suddenly appeared.
It looked like it was made of bronze. It had the head of a sheep, the body of a cow, and the tail of a leopard. Its shape was a little strange, and when it moved, it looked like a mechanical beast in an animation.
"Spread out and attack on my command.”
With that order, Zhang Qishan quickly retreated, temporarily avoiding the Gravekeeper Beast's attack.
The Tomb Suppressing Beast's red eyes stared at the three of them. The moment they made a move, it pounced on them.
Its huge and heavy body landed on the ground, and its pair of claws directly penetrated the solid stone slabs, creating a strong storm.
Boom!
