Huh? Are they all real?...

He was suddenly shoved aside by the orc next to him.

The iron ball rolled down with unstoppable force.

The tomb raiders who were standing on the suspended ladder were smashed into a bloody path.

Fortunately, they were all skilled fighters, and many of them managed to jump directly onto the railings on either side of the suspended ladder to avoid the iron ball attack.

Seeing this, the man who was unharmed despite being pushed by the orc couldn't help but point at a person standing on the railing and start cursing:

"Why not push that thing down? Why not turn into a bear and push that thing down!"

Those who dare to raid tombs in the extraordinary world must be extraordinary beings of considerable rank.

Among those on the suspended ladder were men who, in their memories, could easily block this iron ball.

He smiled bitterly, as if to say something that would make him want to be yelled at by a man:

"Boss, haven't you noticed yet? Our abilities have been disabled!"

"what?"

The man immediately looked at his hands and then tried to insert them into the wall next to him.

In the past, even without transforming his arm into a dragon, he could easily insert steel as if it were tofu.

But now, he almost had his bones broken by a stone wall.

Only then did the man belatedly realize this.

They were all reduced to mortals by this labyrinth!

And he was beaten into a mortal state with no reaction whatsoever?

Before the man could think further, he heard the sound of the iron ball rolling again.

That thing fell down again?

The man looked up and, along with his troupe members, witnessed a scene that nearly suffocated them.

The iron ball, which was originally just rolling along the center of the suspended staircase, paused briefly at the entrance before rolling down toward the railing where the crowd was standing!

This thing can automatically find people?!

A chill ran down their spines; that was the feeling of every one of them at that moment.

You silenced us, and then created a supernatural being to deal with us?

Isn't the period of creation supposed to be a time of naive beauty?

That's not naive at all!

Chapter 380 Perilous (4k)

But no matter how much they cursed the damned maze...

There was nothing they could do to change the fact that the iron ball was hurtling towards them again.

So the tomb raiders who were still hiding on the railing panicked and tried to jump to the other side to avoid it.

The problem is that they have all been reduced to mortals by this bizarre maze in some unknown way.

Therefore, the vast majority of them misjudged their current physical fitness.

As a result, most of them either stood there dumbfounded and didn't jump away, or they jumped but failed and were crushed into mincemeat along the way.

He watched as flesh and blood flew everywhere in front of him and heard the wailing of ghosts and wolves in his ears.

Even though the tomb raiders had chosen the right spot from the start, their faces and hands still bearing the warm flesh and blood of their companions, they were still chilled to the bone.

They were the ones who almost died.

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

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

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

The iron ball fell down, and the surviving people watched in disbelief as the maze entrance that had just been in front of them vanished so strangely and peacefully!

"The exit is gone!"

Is this maze designed to trap them all to death?!

As soon as this idea emerged, the survivors couldn't help but stir.

Fortunately, the man, as the leader, still possessed sufficient prestige. After glancing at the rune circle that was still suspended but had not yet seen the iron ball fall, he immediately shouted:

"Stop standing there, keep moving forward. Do you want to stay in one place and be worn down by this broken ball?"

Urged on by their commander, they immediately regrouped and quickly advanced deeper into the distance.

As seasoned veterans who had been to many dangerous places, almost all of them were able to estimate the interval between the iron balls falling.

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

The person at the very back might suffer a severe punishment.

With this mindset of "better to die than to die myself," they all hurriedly headed downwards.

But what none of them expected was...

They had only taken a few steps downhill.

They heard the familiar sound of the rolling iron ball.

The heavy sound echoed through the empty labyrinth, sounding like the mocking laughter of a demon, making one's brow twitch.

"How could it be earlier than planned?"

The thought had just crossed everyone's minds when they realized that no new iron balls had fallen from the rune circle behind them.

So what is this sound?

The regimental commander, standing at the very front, was now looking at the straight passageway ahead with a livid face.

The first iron ball that rolled out has rolled back again!

The survivors behind him cursed and swore:

"What?! How could they come back?!"

"I've been robbing tombs my whole life, and I've never seen anything like this before!"

"Who the hell came up with this underhanded trick?! Damn it!"

"Weren't people supposed to be kind-hearted back then? What's wrong with the owner of this maze?!"

The shouts and curses from the crowd due to the breach in defense did not affect the leader and the orc standing at the front.

Although they were reduced to mortals, they were still seasoned veterans, and they knew what to do at this moment.

That means observing the right moment and then using the gaps deliberately left by the maze designer to dodge this damned iron ball!

In fact, they succeeded.

Just moments before the iron ball came rolling in, both of them narrowly avoided it.

It's just that the people behind them suffer.

There wasn't much time left to begin with, and this delay only made things worse.

The third iron ball naturally followed the rune circle.

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

But people always want to live, so they can only try their best to escape amidst endless curses.

The only problem is that, faced with a supernatural creation that can adjust its own direction, many of them can only watch helplessly as their fierce efforts are crushed to death by that thing.

Fortunately, because the suspension ladder wasn't very wide, the two iron balls collided as expected and then fell into the bottomless abyss below.

The remaining people also took this opportunity to hurriedly escape.

Only after they had run all the way to where they saw the iron ball roll into the mechanism beneath their feet did they collapse to the ground, panting heavily.

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

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

After counting the remaining heads, the man, who was the leader of the group, flew into a rage and grabbed an orc who also looked like he had been pulled out of the water, questioning him:

"Look what kind of terrible place you've found for us!"

Looking at the enraged leader, the orc said calmly:

"I told you, we don't know this place either, and besides, you agreed to come yourself! What, don't you even have any sense of contractual obligation?"

The commander ignored all of that and cursed:

"I don't fucking care about any of that. I brought over a hundred brothers with me, but look at us now, there are less than twenty left! And this is just the beginning!"

The orc knew what this guy meant.

He was putting on a show for his subordinates while also wanting to demand more benefits, such as the magic ring in his hand.

What a crazy person who values ​​money over life! Even at a time like this, they're still thinking about this!

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Given this guy's experience, he's probably been through many more dangerous situations.

Therefore, he probably felt that the time for real danger had not yet arrived.

The orc glanced at him and said:

"Instead of fighting amongst ourselves, I think we should first consider what exactly happened up there, especially why the people you left up there are here!"

"what?"

The orc's words startled the raid leader, and behind him, the voices of his raid members rang out:

"Boss? What are you guys doing here? Wait, have we really entered this maze?!"

The group leader turned around and saw his group members who had been left outside.

At first, he wondered if it was some kind of illusion in the maze, but after they accurately answered several secret codes set up to guard against this situation.

The grimness on everyone's faces reached a new level:

"What's going on? Weren't you supposed to stay up there? Why are you here?"

The group members who arrived one after another all shook their heads with confused expressions, saying:

"We don't know either, we just found ourselves here in the blink of an eye!"

Seeing their utter confusion, the leader couldn't help but curse again:

"What the hell is this place?!"

However, being able to rejoin the main force made them subconsciously relax.

The group leader suppressed all his emotions and began to arrange things for his group members.

I plan to familiarize myself with the surroundings first, and then decide whether to continue deeper or turn back.

However, he had only just rejoined the main force when he heard his men say:

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

"Tomb Beast?"

"Yes, there are at least several hundred tomb beasts in the form of little devils!"

The guild leader instinctively wanted to say, "Isn't it normal for tomb beasts to be found in underground ruins?"

But when he thought of those damned iron balls, he swallowed his words and led everyone over.

You can't be alone at this time!

Soon, they saw a large number of small devil statues not far ahead.

They sat together on a stone platform as tall as a person, holding a forked sword that was taller than themselves.

Upon seeing the group leader arrive with his men, the group member who had been scouting the situation earlier immediately spoke up:

"Boss, we've checked them all. They're all solid bronze statues. We didn't find anything special about them. They seem to be just decorations."

"Don't be careless, this place is really eerie. We suffered a great loss here before."
