Huh? Are they all real?.

Chapter 380 Sinister (4k)

But no matter how much they cursed this damn maze.

There was no way to change the fact that the iron ball was heading towards them again.

So the tomb robbers who were still hiding on the railings panicked and tried to avoid it by jumping to the other side.

But the problem is that now they have all been turned into mortals by this strange maze in some unknown way.

Therefore, most of them misjudged their current physical fitness.

As a result, most of them either just stood there stupidly without jumping away, or those who tried to jump but failed were crushed into meat paste all the way.

Looking at the blood and flesh flying in front of him and the howling of ghosts and wolves in his ears.

The tomb robbers, who had stood in the right place from the beginning, still felt a chill down their spines even though their companions' flesh and blood were still warm on their faces and hands.

They were the ones who almost died.

The only good news for them was that this time the iron ball changed direction and did not continue rolling down the ladder.

Instead, it rolled halfway and fell into the bottomless cliff.

This made many people behind them breathe a sigh of relief, but this maze seemed to know what they were thinking.

The iron ball just fell, and the people who were still alive frowned as they saw the entrance to the maze that was just in front of them disappear so strangely and calmly!
"The exit is gone!"

This maze is intended to trap them all to death? !

As soon as this thought came to mind, the survivors couldn't help but start to get agitated.

Fortunately, as the leader, the man still had enough prestige. After taking a look at the rune circle that was still suspended but no iron ball had fallen from it yet, he immediately shouted:

"Don't just stand there, keep moving forward. Do you want to stay where you are and be killed by a broken ball?"

At the urging of the regiment commander, they immediately regrouped and moved forward rapidly.

As veterans who had been to many dangerous places, almost all of them estimated the interval time for the iron ball to fall.

Now, although time is running out, it is enough for them to move on to the next area.

The person at the back may suffer the most.

With this thought in mind, they all hurriedly moved downwards.

But what none of them expected was.

They had only taken a few steps downward.

They just heard the very familiar sound of the iron ball rolling.

The heavy sound in the empty maze sounded like a devil's sneer, making people's eyebrows twitch.

"Why is it early?"

This thought just arose in everyone's mind, and they discovered that no new iron ball fell from the rune circle behind them.

So what is this sound?
The captain standing at the front looked at the straight corridor in front of him with a grim face.

The first iron ball that rolled out rolled back again!
The survivors behind him cursed loudly:
"What? How can you come back?!"

"I've been robbing tombs all my life, and I've never seen anyone do it this way!"

"Who the hell came up with this insidious trick? Fuck!"

"Aren't people said to be kind back then? What's wrong with this maze master?"

The crowd's loud curses because of the breach in defense did not affect the leader and the orc standing in the front.

Although they were reduced to mortals, they are still experienced fighters and they know what to do at this time.

That is to observe the right opportunity, and then use the gaps deliberately left by the maze designer to avoid this damn iron ball!
In fact, they succeeded.

At the moment before the iron ball rolled over, both of them narrowly avoided it.

It just means that the people behind them will suffer.

There wasn't much time left to begin with, and this delay added to the damage.

Naturally, the third iron ball fell into the rune circle behind.

This put them in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

But people want to survive, so they can only try their best to hide from the endless curses.

The only problem is that in front of a supernatural creature that can adjust its direction by itself, many of them can only watch helplessly as they perform their fierce operations like a tiger, only to be crushed to death by that thing.

Fortunately, because the ladder was not very wide, the two iron balls collided with each other as expected, and fell into the bottomless abyss below.

The rest of the people also took this opportunity to escape in a hurry.

After they ran all the way and saw the iron ball rolling into the mechanism under their feet, they all collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath.

It was clearly just a small trick among the many traps I had encountered before.

But because they were all reduced to mortals, they sadly discovered that they had no way to deal with it.

After counting the heads of the survivors, the leader of the group immediately flew into a rage and grabbed the orc who also looked like he had been fished out of the water and asked:
"Look what a hell of a place you found for us!"

Looking at the furious leader, the orc said calmly:

"I told you, we don't know this place either, and you promised to come! How come you don't even have the spirit of the contract?"

The team leader ignored all this and scolded:

"I don't give a f*cking shit about that. I brought over a hundred brothers with me, but now look, there are less than twenty left! And this is just the beginning!"

The orc knew what this guy meant.

He was doing this for his subordinates to see, and at the same time he wanted to ask for more benefits, such as the magic ring in his hand.

What a madman who values ​​money over life. He is still thinking about this at this time!

But think about it, with this guy's experience, he must have experienced many more dangerous situations.

So he probably felt that the real danger had not yet arrived.

The orc took one look at him and said:

"Rather than starting an internal conflict, I think we should first consider what happened up ahead, especially why the people you left up there are here!"

"what?"

The orc's words startled the leader, and behind him, the voice of his own team member rang out:
"Boss? Why are you here? Wait, are we really in this maze?!"

The team leader turned around and really saw the team members he had left outside.

At first he wondered if this was some kind of illusion in the maze, but after they accurately matched several secret codes that were set up to guard against such situations.

All of their faces became more ugly, reaching a new level:
"What's going on? Aren't you guys supposed to stay up there? Why are you here?"

In response to this, the members who came over one after another all shook their heads in confusion:
"We don't know either. We were here in the blink of an eye!"

Seeing that they were also extremely confused, the team leader couldn't help but curse:
"What the hell is this place!"

But no matter what, being able to join up with the main force made them subconsciously relax.

The team leader suppressed all emotions and began to arrange his team members.

I plan to familiarize myself with the surrounding environment first, and then decide whether to continue going deeper or turn around and give it a try.

However, when he joined the main force, he heard his men say:

"Boss, there are a lot of tomb beasts ahead, would you like to go take a look?"

"Grave beast?"

"Yes, there are at least hundreds of little devil-like grave beasts at a glance!"

The team leader subconsciously wanted to say, isn't it normal for things like tomb beasts to be in underground ruins?
But when he thought of those damn iron balls, he swallowed his words and took everyone over.

Don't be alone at this time!

Soon, they saw a large number of little devil statues not far ahead. They all squatted on a stone platform as tall as a person, holding a forked sword that was taller than them.

Seeing the leader leading people over, the team member who was here to check the situation said immediately:

"Boss, I've checked them all. They're all solid bronze statues. I didn't find any special arrangements. It seems to be just a decoration."

"Don't be careless, this place is very evil. We suffered a great loss before."

The team leader was obviously dissatisfied with the laxity of the team members.

But the other party waved his hand and smiled:
"Boss, don't worry, we have already checked this place, there is absolutely no problem!"

As he spoke, he knocked on the little devil statue beside him and said:

"Unless this thing is waiting for you to come and come alive!"

As soon as he uttered these words, the team leader found that his brows were twitching as fast as if he was possessed by evil spirits.

Are you really waiting for me to come?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, the captain looked at the little devil statue holding a strange weapon with a sudden thought.

Fortunately, it didn't move.

It seems like, it’s really just a statue?
They are tomb robbers from the extraordinary world, and the methods they prepare are all in line with the extraordinary. When the extraordinary methods fail, they don't even know whether they can still trust their own experience.

For example, according to their experience, these little demons should be dead.

I saw that the team leader and others still had serious expressions.

The person in charge of exploring this place also felt a little uneasy, but in order to prove his ability, he picked up the weapon in his hand and knocked it against the little devil statue next to him and said:
"Really? This is a dead thing. You have to believe me, Boss. Look, it's fine even if I hit it like this!"

The little brother was banging on the little devil statue.

The people in front of him all changed their expressions and stepped back.

Seeing this, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"No, Boss, what are you doing here?"

No one answered him, they just retreated further back.

And kept looking around.

He looked very flustered.

The little brother could only swallow his saliva and look to the side.

The little devil statue, which had just been looking straight ahead, was now looking down at him.

The dog-headed face covered with rust showed no emotion.

However, precisely because it is a dead creature without any emotions, it appears particularly terrifying at this moment.

"ah---!"

The little brother only had time to shout this before he was knocked to the ground by the little devil in front of him.

Everyone could only watch as he was madly chopped and chopped into pieces by the little devil with the strange weapon in his hand.

And as if taking this as an opportunity, all the little devil statues around them looked towards them.

This scene seemed even more terrifying in the gloomy underground maze.

Seeing this, the man who was the leader shouted without hesitation:
"Run!"

Are you kidding? How can they deal with a statue made of solid copper with just these things?

Not to mention causing damage to these statues. He even doubted how many people in his group could still hold their own weapons after becoming mortals.

The little demons jumped off the platform one after another, and instead stepped on their strange weapons that were taller than themselves, jumping towards the humans.

Although their speed seems slow, it is actually faster than imagined, and they often appear in front of them in just one or two jumps.

Then, the little devil weighing several hundred pounds will smash down at the human in front of it with its fangs and claws, and after pouncing on the human, it will carry out an inhumane torture attack.

Some members also tried to resist.

But just as the leader expected, after becoming mortals, the weapons in their hands could not cause much damage to these pure copper creations.

Instead, trying to resist will delay your escape.

For a moment, almost the entire maze was filled with their screams.

The fastest running leader had already run into a corridor in panic.

There were no little devil statues around.

This relaxed his tense nerves a little.

However, he immediately saw an extremely familiar piece of advice appearing in front of him.

This made the leader stop immediately and shouted to the people behind him:

"Hurry up, keep running forward!"

As a leader, it is obviously normal for him to ask everyone to follow his direction at this time.

So the people behind him continued to run forward without noticing anything.

But they also quickly heeded that advice.

It reads:

"Ahead, be careful on the right!"

Watch out on the right?

That means there is danger on the left!
This is the consensus of almost all of them.

So as experienced veterans, they said almost nothing and just held the weapons in their hands.

Without any communication, they formed a formation facing the left side to meet the enemy.

In front are shield soldiers, and behind are gunners and spearmen.

After forming the formation, they were confident that even if five or six little devils popped out again, they would not be able to appease them for a while!

Then they rushed out suddenly.

Then, there is nothing on the left!

But behind them, that is, on the right side at the beginning, came the extremely familiar sound of the little devil jumping.

"what!"

"Why the hell is it really on the right?"

"No, you told the truth to the tomb robber?!"

Looking at their companions being pounced on by the little demons, the team leader and others behind them fled to the left without looking back.

Because they ran too fast and had become mortals, they were unable to stop after turning another corner and rolled down a slope together.

It rolled down the slope into a pool of mud.

After struggling to get up.

The captain's expression changed as he looked at his hands which were covered with green mud and said:

"Is it poison? Hmm, slightly poisonous!?"

First I was surprised, then I was happy.

I thought that this person still had some conscience and did not use such poison to harm them!
But this joy only lasted for a moment, because he immediately saw a poisonous pool that stretched as far as the eye could see in front of him!

It is indeed a tiny poison that cannot kill people instantly, but precisely because it cannot kill people immediately, people will have hope and will move forward towards this poisonous pool where they are not sure whether they can get out of it.
