Ch. 1501..1510

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1501

Kenneth, Darven, and the others were stunned. Everyone felt very strange when a world class beauty like Aunt Rockefeller came along. Unexpectedly, now another two beautiful women joined in.

Were they taking the beautiful women to take pictures and enjoy the scenery?

As for Freya, she had always had strong confidence in her appearance. But before this, there was Aunt Rockefeller, and now there were Princess Fleur and Maya. All of them were pretty similar to her, which made her feel a little discouraged.

Was this Rockefeller dude such a ladies’ man?

“Nonsense!”

Dorothy snorted lightly, “Do you guys think going down to the tomb is a field trip? Your lives are in danger at all times.”

Princess Fleur saw that it was Aunt Rockefeller, and immediately her neck shrank “Aunt!”

She did not know that Aunt Rockefeller was Dorothy.

Yesterday, Aunt Rockefeller also saved her life, so when facing Aunt Rockefeller, she was much shorter, and her voice was not loud.

Maya said, “We came over to help and can remain on the surface instead of the deep ends. When the time comes, if there is any need, you can also get in touch in time! In addition, we are here also to prevent someone else from thinking of stealing the tomb.”

This speech made sense.

However, that drifter Zayne shook his head.

Some big tombs were very odd, especially Caesar’s tomb. It was the most bizarre tomb he had ever seen. It was very dangerous. Even at the entrance, there were dangers present. Those overly pampered girls would be in danger at any time.

However, this was Alex‘s side of things.

Previously in the discussion, they had long made the risks involved very clear. If one still wanted to take beautiful women down to the tomb in this kind of situation, any accidents that happened would also be his business.

***

In the evening, at a quarter to twelve.

The people who were ready decided to go down to the tomb.

The mouth of the tomb was inside one of the makeshift rooms. It was a deep well. Susan provided the location of this deep well to Alex. Alex then got Azure and other people with large machines to dig, and they dug out this well.

This was because William and the others caused the previous entrance and exit to collapse the last time they were there. They could only go down to the tomb from somewhere else.

“Brother Alex, Fleur, when the pile driver was used for this deep well, it cannot be driven down below the slab of green stone, because that slab of green stone is very hard. Even a cutting machine cannot cut it into half, nor leave a mark. It is harder than diamond.” Azure said.

Susan said, “That piece is the dragon stone. After our initial identification, it is most likely an extraterrestrial meteorite containing elements that do not exist in the modern chemistry chart. Its hardness is comparable to diamonds.”

“Oh, there is something so strange at the entrance?” Alex said in amazement.

The next second. Azure pushed the power switch outside.

Sounds of lights being switched on were heard.

Floodlights were seen from the makeshift room into the deep well inside. It was very bright.

“Okay, I’ll go down first!” Alex carried a large black bag and was about to go down.

“Wait!”

Zayne stopped Alex. From his back pocket, he took out a box, which was the roots of incense.

He took out three sticks and lit them with a lighter.

He, Quincy, and Susan, each person holding a root of incense, walked along with the wellhead, with mouths chanting, probably burning incense to pray for good luck or something.

Kenneth laughed, “This is the rule handed down by drifters and tomb raiders. One needs to light incense while going down the tomb to comfort the tomb spirit. By sending you a stick of incense, it will redeem my life.”

Quincy looked at Princess Fleur.

Princess Fleur was beautiful and charming. The fellow saw her, and his heart was moved.

Quincy smilingly handed her the incense in his hand, “Do you want to confess too? It can save your life!”

“You keep it for yourself!”

Princess Fleur coldly snorted. With a casual flick, the incense fell to the ground. It broke.

Zayne coldly looked over and said, ”Ignorant!”

Then, Quincy was focused.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1502

Princess Fleur was reprimanded for an ignorant utterance for no reason. How could she stay quiet?

She was immediately angry. “What’s with all the incense down the tomb to comfort the spirit of the tomb. All these are only self-deceptions! If the ghost of the tomb master is still alive and knows that we went down to the tomb to take his things, will he spare us just because of this little piece of junk incense?”

Dorothy said, “Since it‘s their tradition, just do it. And… Fleur, shut up.”

Since aunt spoke up, naturally, Fleur didn’t dare to say anything else.

The incense burning was completed.

Alex was the first to go down the tomb. With a swish, he jumped down.

Then, Princess Fleur and Maya followed. Next were Susan, Quincy, Kenneth, Darven and Zayne.

Dorothy was the last to enter. Azure and the others waited outside.

When they were going down the tomb, Alex brought a communication radio to stay in touch.

Very soon. Everyone landed.

Princess Fleur stepped onto the ground beneath her. “Is this the extraterrestrial meteorite?”

Alex and Dorothy looked at it carefully. In the very next second, the two of them exchanged glances and seemed stunned.

This was not an extraterrestrial meteorite but a gloomy bloodstone. Despite the blackened surface, this was not the stone’s original color.

This stone was soaked in fresh blood for months and years. After the precipitation of hundreds and thousands of years, then the gloomy bloodstone was formed. It was indestructible and harder than diamond.

If one was not mistaken.

Behind the stone was the formation chart, which was carved.

If a pile driver could break this stone, that would be illogical.

They had just arrived at the tomb and not yet entered it. However, they encountered this kind of rare and unique object. Alex and Dorothy’s heart sank. It looked like Caesar’s tomb was far from easy, contrary to what Susan told them.

“Fleur, sister, how about you all return to the surface?” Alex said, “If there’s anything, I will contact you.”

“I just came down, and you’re kicking me out? Let me take a look at it! I haven‘t robbed a tomb yet!”

Quincy interjected, “Beauty, why don’t you follow me? I’ll protect you and take you to appreciate the fun of tomb raiding.”

“Forget it. You are the weakest of all the men. You’d better think about how to survive to make a round trip?” Fleur said disdainfully, “My man just helped you recover your energy core. You don’t want to go back to how you were before, do you? How dare you flirt with me?”

“Uh..?”

In the eyes of others, this statement made by Fleur made her sound like she was Alex’s wife.

Freya then took a second look at Fleur.

After going down the deep well, there was another passage inside more than two meters high. The opening was small but wide inside.

At the end of the passage was a stone door.

Azure and the others had long been to this location. The light wire had been extended to this location. It was bright as day, but no one could open this door.

Holding a hand-drawn map, Susan said, “We are now in this location. This door in the tomb is called the escape door and is very hidden! It was mostly built secretly by tomb builders to escape being buried because some tomb owners didn’t want the secrets of their tombs to be known, and after digging the tomb, they killed people.”

Alex said, “So it is that dangerous to build a tomb.”

Susan pointed at Kenneth. “Master Sunder, I’ll leave this door to you.”

The stone door, too, was made of gloomy bloodstone. To use brute force to destroy it was indeed a bit difficult.

Alex also wanted to see if this Kenneth had the ability or not.

Kenneth went close to the stone door and pounded. No one had a clue what he was doing. Then, the stone door immediately issued a click and slowly opened to the side.

“Badass!” Alex gave a thumbs up to Kenneth.

At the same time. At the corner of the makeshift room, which was initially an empty place, an old man in black slowly emerged. He looked at the deep well in the passage tomb not far away and smiled meaningfully.

Strangely enough, Azure and the others did not even notice the presence of this black-clad old man.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1503

Boom…

Bang!

Alex and the others entered through the opened escape door in the tomb. Before they had the chance to see the environment inside, suddenly, the tomb door that Kenneth had just opened, slammed shut automatically. The surroundings that were just as bright as daylight instantly darkened, and no fingers could be seen.

“Ah..!”

“Why is the door closed?”

“Who closed it?”

“Not me, I did not touch it.”

“Not me either…”

In the dark, there were only voices, but no one could be seen.

Alex and Dorothy were both cultivators. One was at the core formation stage, and the other was at the half core formation stage. So even if they entered a completely dark space, they could still perceive the surrounding environment through their spiritual sense. At this moment, the two released their spiritual sense but surprisingly found that the spiritual sense did not work. Not to mention the dozens of meters around the body, even if someone were just in front of them, they would not sense that person at all.

“Formation boundary!”

“This place has some supernatural power to create another small space!”

Alex instantly realized the root of the problem. The next second, the light came on from Zayne’s torchlight.

With the light of the flashlight, everyone could finally see something in front of their eyes.

Immediately after, several people’s flashlights were lit up, and there was even a self-generated headlamp like a searchlight. The room’s brightness immediately increased by several levels. Everyone saw the stone door opened by Kenneth, tightly closed again, and until this time, everyone found something above the stone door.

“Master Sunder, can you reopen the tomb door?” Susan asked with calmness and entered with confidence.

“No problem!” Kenneth laughed and said, “Some techniques are needed to enter this escape door from the outside. To exit from the inside, there must be a mechanical device. Once one finds the mechanism, the door could be easily opened.”

Everyone was relieved to see how easy he said it.

But then, Kenenth searched behind the tomb door for a long time but did not find any useful device. Not to mention the pull ring wrench and so on, even the small round holes were not available.

“Could it be related to these patterns on the door?” Quincy said.

With the light, everyone saw strange patterns carved on the door. On both sides were two odd-looking animals, and in the middle was a large round flower, the flower was composed of many unintelligible words and symbols as if it was stating something important.

“The animals carved on both sides are tomb-beasts, and this flower in the middle. I don’t know. I’ve never seen it before.” Susan said, “I think, to open this door, it must be related to this flower, and I need to decipher what these symbols mean.”

Kenneth nodded, “I think so too. That’s why the tomb’s design is perverted, always doing some new tricks.”

At this moment.

Dorothy said, “There is no need to study this flower. Even if you study it thoroughly, you would not be able to open this door. This is a dead door, only to enter and no exit. This is also not the escape door designed by the tomb builder, but to kill all those trying to come in from the outside here.

Everyone was shocked when they heard that.

Princess Fleur asked, “Aunt, how do you know?”

Dorothy pointed at the flower, “It’s written on it. It’s an ancient script and a rune. The flower is not meaningless, but a formation diagram, a killing formation diagram.”

Zayne looked at Dorothy in surprise. “You understand the ancient script, and you know the formation diagram?”

Freya and others also looked over, initially thinking that Alex’s ‘aunt’, came down just to pretend, to fool around, and would beat a retreat when she saw the danger, but she never thought that she even knew such profound things.

Dorothy replied, “I know a little.”

Princess Fleur answered nervously, “This is the door of death to kill people. So, next is the killing technique?”

She had just finished speaking when everyone heard a rustling sound.

“What’s that sound?”

“It seems like it is coming from the back!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1504

Everyone was nervous, and they turned around with the lights shining.

Earlier, they were only thinking about whether the tomb door could be reopened. They did not look closely at the situation inside. At this moment, they realized that this was a closed space of about two hundred square meters. There was no way out, not even a door. The walls were painted with some hideous and horrible paintings.

“Huh, I think I see something green?”

“Green light. It’s a green light!”

“Turn off the headlights.”

Alex turned off the headlights, and the light in the room immediately dimmed.

Immediately afterward, hundreds of clusters of green fluorescent light were seen, flying around in the air.

Quincy shouted, “It’s a luminescent bug. Everyone be careful. This is a flying insect with poison. When those bugs touch your skin, you will be poisoned, and you will finally turn into a puddle of pus and blood. Except for your teeth, nothing will be left.”

In the knowledge system of the tomb raider, there was a record of this poisonous insect.

Susan was also immediately nervous and repeatedly shouted at Darven, “Darven, you are the ancestor of toxin experimenting. We all depend on you.”

Darven was not going to ignore that.

He took out an incense burner from the bag and put it on the ground. A loud sound was heard.

Darven lit the lighter, and a fragrance wafted from the incense burner.

Soon, when those luminescent bugs smelled this scent, they became like flies smelling the stench of stool and flew over into the incense burner; Everyone backed up against the wall, with flashlights turned off. When the last of the luminescent bugs flew in, Darven immediately covered the lid.

“Done!”

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Susan said, “I didn’t expect that I would encounter this kind of bug just after coming in. It’s really dangerous.”

Kenneth smiled and said, “What are you afraid of? With Senior Darven around, all poisonous insects and poisonous things are just small things! This little incense censer is powerful. Senior Draven, do you have more? Can I buy one from you?”

Kenneth had just finished speaking. A green stream of light suddenly shot out fiercely from one wall at Darven.

“Be careful!”

Zayne was quick with eyes and on his feet. He quickly grabbed something off his back and fiercely opened it. It turned out to be an invisible umbrella and, after opening it, blocked the cloud of green light.

Zayne’s internal energy vibrated fiercely.

That green light suddenly suffered a vicious shock and fell to the ground.

A flashlight was shone at that thing, and it turned out to be a luminescent bug. It had been shaken and fallen to the ground, dead. A glowing green light was also emitted, which did not extinguish.

“Holy shit! What a huge luminescent bug!”

Quincy shouted after getting a clearer look at it.

Compared to the luminescent bug caught by Darven before, this one was more than ten times bigger and looked like a spider but with three pairs of wings.

“Could it be the mother of the luminescent bug?”

And at this moment, Maya shouted, “Be careful of the wall!”

The crowd heard and looked around the wall. They saw a bright green light emerging densely. All were of similar size to the luminescent bug on the ground.

Quincy shouted, “My god! How can there be so many, so big luminescent bugs?”

He also grabbed the invisible umbrella and opened it fiercely.

Then, he scampered to Maya’s side. “Beauty, meet me. I am Quincy Zoppins, the tomb raider. This is the tomb raider’s gold-defining treasure, the invisible umbrella. I’m here to protect you!”

Princess Fleur had no chance. This guy had eyes on Maya, whose looks and posture were comparable to those of Princess Fleur.

At this time, countless luminescent bugs flew from the wall, raining down on the crowd.

Quincy used the umbrella to support himself and Maya, trying to get the beauty’s favor, but unexpectedly, Maya did not appreciate it at all and pushed him away, “Go away, don’t get in the way!”

In the very next second.

Suddenly, Maya rushed to the front. Facing the oncoming luminescent bugs, she stretched out one hand. “Silver frost, frost seal!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1505

Maya pushed a little harder, and the ugly Quincy was pushed to the ground.

Quincy was angry as he thought, ‘Are you sick? I am kind enough to save you. You are not only ungrateful but also dare to push me down? Well, I will see how you will die later. If I were to try to save you, I am not Zoppins!’

Although this guy had lived in Rockefeller’s Manor for a day, Holly took care of him. He did not see other people, so he was completely unaware of Maya’ s terror.

At this moment, he turned back to look at Maya and saw her rushing to the front of the crowd alone to face those horrible luminescent bugs. It was as if Quincy was struck by lightning as he thought, ‘Retard, you are looking for death!’

However, in the very next moment. He was then completely stunned by the image in front of him.

He felt that the temperature around his body dropped rapidly. Just now, it was more than twenty degrees. In an instant, it had fallen to below zero. He felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and those raindrops of luminescent bugs, which were about one meter before Maya, had stopped flying.

It was like they encountered a spider’s web that could not be seen with the naked eye.

The luminescent bugs were stuck on the web.

A sound was heard.

That was a rapid freezing sound. At least hundreds of fist-sized luminescent bugs froze in mid-air. None could move. The next second, they were like scattering beans, crackling and falling to the ground.

Maya again pushed her hand down. All the frozen bugs shattered into pieces.

There was dead silence!

Everyone looked at the ground.

Even Alex was a little surprised as he was not expecting that Maya’s silver frost skill to have become so powerful to this extent.

One had to know that her silver frost technique was still based on Alex’s nameless method of purification, which she had adapted. Even he was not quite sure to what extent he could cultivate it, and with Maya’s show of combat power at this time, he really needed to ponder.

As for Quincy, his mouth was wide open. Then, Susan, Freya, Kenneth, and the others were so astonished they were speechless.

If one said that Aunt Rockefeller traveled together, everyone would feel that this woman might have some strength. As for Maya and Princess Fleur, everyone thought that these people were passengers and tourists here to visit. Now, they were trapped here, which was purely due to their sins. If they were to encounter any dangers, these two placeholders would be the first to die.

However… They were wrong!

What they thought was a placeholder that wasn’t even a bronze was a king. Loud clapping sounds were heard.

Princess Fleur clapped her hands and looked at Maya enviously. “Maya, you are getting really stronger now. If I were to fight you, I might not even last three minutes.”

‘What?’

Susan and the others were once again shocked.

Maya was so strong to such a degree that this Fleur said that she would last no more than three minutes. Did that mean she could survive two minutes? That was also considered very strong! Not to mention Susan, even Quincy’s heart wailed, ‘If it were me, I might not even last three seconds. She just has to hold out her hand, and I will be like those luminescent bugs on the ground.’

‘How could the women around this Rockefeller kid be so unbelievable?’

At this moment, Alex directed his flashlight at a spot. He took a few steps forward and saw some rusty iron on the ground and other decaying clothes. He poked around with his foot and saw a few teeth.

“Before we came in, someone should have been here. The previous people left these behind.” Alex said.

Several other people went up to check.

Zayne nodded. “The luminescent bugs could have poisoned these people.”

Quincy looked at Maya and Princess Fleur with complicated emotions in their eyes. He had initially thought that after going down this tomb, he would have the opportunity to get close to these two stunning beauties, but after Maya showed her hand, his courage diminished.

Carefully going around the dead luminescent bugs on the ground, he told Zayne, “Brother, how could these luminescent bugs be so big? It’s the first time I‘ve seen such a big one in my life. It’s so scary.”

Susan analyzed, “Maybe because they have consumed human blood before!”

Freya shook her head. “No, there is yin energy here. These bugs are filled with yin energy. I’m afraid they are sucking yin energy as nutrients.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1506

Darven said, “We should hurry and look for a way out. This space is enclosed. Even if there’s no other danger, we’ll die of suffocation over time.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The few people searched around at once to find out if they could look for an exit.

However, after searching for a long time, they still could not find a way out. It was as if this were a completely enclosed space. Quincy was so furious that he slapped the wall consecutively to vent the resentment in his heart. “Told you, Caesar’s tomb is a scary place. Now we’re trapped after coming in here. It’s deliberately trying to suffocate us to death or starve us to death! I’ve raided so many tombs. This is the creepiest one.”

As a result, as he kept slapping on it, he suddenly hit something with a click sound.

It was the sound of a certain machine!

Grumble!

Densely packed tens of thousands of holes appeared on the wall right away.

“What are these?” Quincy called out.

“Be careful!” Zayne roared and opened up the Invincible Umbrella.

Immediately afterward, many needles shot out of the holes in the wall in a flash.

Each one glowed with blue light. They were venomous needles!

The person who designed the trap did not plan to leave anyone alive nor any chance of survival. With such a great density and number of venomous needles, who could block them if it were ordinary people?

The two disciple brothers, Quincy and Zayne, tacitly used the Invincible Umbrella to support their bodies at the same time. The two umbrellas happened to form an encirclement to block the venomous needles, but they could not care about the others.

The two brothers looked at each other as their hearts sank with restlessness. They felt that the others would not be able to dodge the needles for sure. Perhaps they had already been pierced so much they looked like hedgeho gs by the venomous needles.

Hearing the clanging sound, they curled into a ball and dared not move at all.

Until all the sounds ceased, they dared not to relax the slightest, even for a brief while.

Quincy said with a crying face, “Senior, do you regret it now? I’m afraid only we, the disciple, are still alive, and the others are all dead. This Rockefeller retard is a vermin. It’s fine if he had a death wish, but he even dragged so many people into becoming his scapegoats. Oh great, even his wife is dead now.”

Bam!

As soon as that guy said that, he dropped the Invincible Umbrella in his hand from shock.

Alex said coldly, “Quincy Zoppins, whom did you call retard?”

“Uh…” The two people put down the Invincible Umbrella and stood up.

They were surprised to find everyone was still alive. Unexpectedly, no one died.

‘This was too outrageous, right?’

How could they be safe and sound after being attacked by so many densely packed venomous needles?

Never did they expect that Alex had instantly put on the Mystic Armor and protected the others inside it. So, they were naturally unharmed.

On the other hand, when Darven, Kenneth, and the others saw Alex, Maya, and the others had such powerful forces, their confidence significantly increased.

“Look, a door has appeared on the front wall!” Waltz said as she pointed ahead.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1507

This time, no one dared to raise his foot and step into the door.

Instead, they looked at each other for a while. Alex said, “I’ll go in first to take a look!”

“Wait!” Susan Hunter suddenly said as she pulled Alex’s arm. Then, she pointed at something that had suddenly appeared on the stone door. “It looks like there are words on it.”

“Are there?”

“No? I don’t see anything!”

“I don’t see them either.”

A few people said that they did not see them. Only Susan alone saw them.

She firmly said, “Really, there are. They are similar to the flower pattern’s runes on the door outside, but I don’t know any of them.”

Alex explained to Dorothy, “Susan Hunter was born with clairvoyant Eyes. She can see some things that ordinary people cannot see. It is much stronger than the spiritual eyes. This is probably the reason why she can see them, but we can’t.”

Dorothy glanced at Susan and asked, “What kind of runes do you see?”

When Susan came in, she was well prepared with a notebook and a pen too. She immediately took them out and wrote exactly in the notebook what she saw on the stone door.

At a glance, Dorothy’s expression changed a bit.

Alex transmitted his voice mentally. “What’s this?”

Dorothy answered, “This is a warning, saying that this door is called the Gate of Sacrifice. The living ones would be separated by death upon entering this door.”

“Is the warning any useful? Such a door just showed up. Without going through this door, there’s nowhere else to go. Could it be that there’s another do or besides this one?”

“There isn’t any! It seems that the owner of this tomb isn’t a kind person. He hated the tomb invaders to the core and was determined to kill them! The trap inside this space didn’t manage to kill us. The situation after this should be even more dangerous, so we mustn’t treat it lightly.” Dorothy took a glance at the crowd that they had seeked help. “This tomb can’t be invaded by ordinary people. It’s designed to target cultivators.

Even cultivators are in danger of dying. It’ll even be almost impossible for ordinary people. People like them might not be able to walk out of here.”

Alex’s heart sank. He did not hope for people like Susan to die here.

However, there was no turning back now. Most importantly, they could not go back even if they wanted to. They could only bite the bullet and walk in there.

“Sis, are you able to figure something out?” Susan asked.

Dorothy shook her head. “These ancient runes are complicated and hard to understand. I can’t even figure out a few with my ability, but I think we should be extra careful.”

At this moment, Kenneth tried the handheld transceiver that he had brought with him. However, he realized there was no signal at all.

It was impossible if they wanted to communicate with the outside world.

“What an ill omen!”

Alex secretly put up the Mystic Armor. Moreover, he also summoned Maiko Chiba to accompany him. Only then did he raise his foot and step into the stone door.

On n the other hand, Zayne used the Invincible Umbrella to support the stone door to prevent the stone door from closing suddenly like the previous one. The Invincible Umbrellas were treasures with various functions that were used by the gangs of tomb raiders for tomb raiding.

Back then, the Invincible Umbrellas were made of cold steel.

However, they had long undergone upgrades when they were developed till the present one. The material of the Invincible Umbrellas in Zayne and Quincy’s hands came from some kind of meteorite beyond the world, and its hardness exceeded all known substances on Earth. Moreover, it was light and convenient to handle. A unique substance was needed to soften the material and transform…

At this moment, it was not a big problem to use it to block the door.

Soon after walking into the stone door, Alex walked along a long passage that wound downward.

Then, he came to a spacious area. This place seemed like an altar with a statue standing on it.

The statue was a middle-aged man. Looking at his outfit, he looked like a person from ancient times.

“Who is this person?” A voice asked. It was from Dorothy who had come over as well. She was worried about Alex coming here alone.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1508

“You’ve come in too? I don’t know either!”

While he was talking, Alex realized the other people had come over as well.

No other dangers had occurred along the way.

“How could there be such a huge space here?” Freya Mayer said curiously. She knew the situation when she went to the tomb with William Rockefeller last time.

“Although Caesar’s tomb is huge, it’s not that big to the extent of being outrageous. Compared to some imperial tombs, it’s actually a bit smaller. But, where does such a huge space of altar come from?”

Susan immediately opened the map and laid it on the ground.

Zayne, Kenneth, and the others squatted down one after another to compare the map.

“Something isn’t right! ” Susan Hunter pointed at a particular area on the map. “According to the map, we should be at this location now. This is the core area of Caesar’s tomb. If we head further, it’d be… The location of this altar. It should be the main tomb where Caesar’s casket is! But, where’s the casket? Where’s the main burial chamber? Why are they all gone? Could it be that we’ve gone to another tomb?”

She was on the verge of collapse.

It was totally different from what she had seen before.

Alex frowned and said, “If we haven’t seen it, it’s because we have entered a complicated spell formation the moment we entered the tomb. The activation of the spell formation caused changes in the directions. Any step we’ve taken couldn’t be measured using this map. As the saying goes, one would have abnormal transposition when the stars change in positions. We thought that we had just taken a step. The single-step taken may be more than a few hundred meters.”

Freya nodded. “It makes sense. Mystic spell formations are strange and mysterious. It’s not hard to do this. Now, let’s see how to find another way.”

Kenneth was curious about the humanoid statue. He stepped forward to touch it.

“This statue is somewhat peculiar. This kind is what we call lifelike! At first glance, I even thought that it’s a real person!”

Quincy said, “Who is he?”

Susan said, “I heard that Caesar had a mole on the center of his forehead. This mole was very particular. It’s said to be the root of the inborn Divine Eye. Look at the forehead of this statue. There’s a mole too. Hence, if I’m not wrong, he should be the statue of Caesar.”

Kenneth clicked his tongue in surprise. “What an uncanny workmanship. It’s really too amazing. This sculpting skill is definitely of a master tier!”

Kenneth Sunder was a master thief.

It was said that thieves never left empty-handed. Since he had come here, he certainly could not go back empty handed.

He saw the statue was holding a sword in his hand. It seemed genuine as well. He touched it with his hand and found it to be the real deal! Well, this statue had been here for an unknown period, but the sword did not have a trace of rust at all. It was even shining with cold light

It was definitely a treasure!

Kenneth could not hold any longer and extended his hand to remove the sword.

The moment it was removed, he had a feeling that the statue’s fingers seemed to be soft. This workmanship was really peerless!

Kenneth picked up the sword and gestured a few times.

“What a great sword! ”

In the next second, something happened.

The eyes of Caesar’s statue, which were closed at first, suddenly opened. Unexpectedly, it had come to life!

It stretched its hand as fast as lightning and snatched the treasured sword away from Kenneth’s hand.

It made a slash in return!

“Oh sh*t!” Kenneth let out a scream. He wanted to dodge it, but it was too late.

The treasured sword swept across his arm area like lightning. With a poof, blood splattered into the air. Kenneth’s right arm was severed right away. It split into two and fell to the ground.

“Argh..!” Kenneth yelled in pain.

Darven roared, “Old thief, hurry and retreat!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1509

Kenneth Sunder was a master thief. For a master thief, all his skills were almost concentrated in his hands. As the right arm was ruined, Kenneth’s hard trained stealth skills were equivalent to be in utter vain.

His mind was slightly confused. In addition, the pain of the severed arm had also significantly lowered his ability to react.

He did not realize that a more significant danger was approaching. Caesar’s statue came to life at this moment. After severing Kenneth’s arm with the sword in his hand, it turned back with another sword swing.

The statue wanted to sever Kenneth’s head.

“Ahh!”

“I’m done for!”

When Kenneth came to his senses, the huge sword with a cold gleam was already close to his eyes. He could even feel the murderous intent from the blade. He already had no more hope.

A sword strike at such a close distance was not something that he could dodge at all.

Just at this moment, another sword suddenly blocked the sword diagonally.

Clank!

A sword blocked Caesar’s huge sword.

Kenneth looked sideways and found that it was Alex. Without knowing when, he was also holding a sword. The blade was even larger than the one in Caesar’s hand. He blinked, and his face turned pale as he just had narrowly escaped death by making a turn at the gate of hell.

“Thanks…”

Just as he wanted to say thanks, Alex kicked him away. “Hide a bit further!”

Clank! Clank! Clank!

In just a brief moment, Caesar’s sword was now attacking Alex thrice consecutively as the speed got increasingly faster and the strength increased with each swing. If he had not tightly gripped the Sword of the Universe of the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six, he would have been beaten till it slipped out of his hand.

“What is this?”

“Oh god, how did this statue come to life? How ominous!”

Quincy screamed as he was about to collapse mentally. When did he ever see such a strange thing after going to so many massive tombs?

After watching for a few seconds, Dorothy immediately joined the battle group. Then, Waltz, Maya, Freya, and Zayne rushed forward as well.

“All the others back off, retreat to the hall outside!” Alex shouted.

The strength of Caesar’s statue exceeded his imagination. As his attacks became stronger, the statue’s attacks would increase accordingly as well. After many people joined the battle group, the statue’s battle power increased exponentially. It seemed that it could adjust its strength according to the sum of battle power.

“Seven Blades of Death, come forth!”

Alex was currently the main attacker who would be the first to bear the brunt.

Meanwhile, Dorothy excelled in long-ranged attacks. Under the situation of such a chaotic battle, her strongest bow and arrow failed to be put into use.

“Senior, what the heck is this? Is something controlling it?” Waltz shouted while assisting him from the side.

At this point, Quincy, Susan, and the others finally confirmed that she was an expert with an overwhelming battle power. She could instantly crush people like them.

The two swords in Alex’s hands kept swinging. Even the Mystic Armor had been activated to the maximum level. However, it was a little unbearable.

His body was already bleeding after being cut by the sword a few times.

“I don’t know either! This thing is a little ominous. It doesn’t look like a statue.”

Zayne said, “Is it a Gimmick Puppet?”

Before Alex could answer, Freya said in a delicate voice, “This isn’t a Gimmick Puppet. This is a zombie refined using a living human. Look at its eyes. The pupils are golden, right? This is a golden-eyed Golden Zombie with infinite strength.”

When Darven, who was hiding far away, heard the words, he smacked his head. “Oh, right! Miss Mayer, your Exorcist Dragons specializes in fighting zombies. You should have a way, right?”

Freya took out a black and red wooden stick with a pointy cone in the front and a sculpture of a dragon throne at the back. It had grains that looked like dragon scales all over its body.

She hurriedly said, “This is the ten thousand year old Dragon Soul Wood that has been soaked in the Zombie King’s blood. The golden eyed Golden Zombie’s defense is incredible, and it’s hard to be damaged by swords. There’s only one weak point on its body, that’s its heart.”

Alex said, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? My hands are sore from attacking it, but its skin isn’t even cut open.”

Freya said, “I’ve never seen a real golden eyed Golden Zombie too. This is my first time encountering it.”

“Miss Mayer, what do you want to do? We’ll cooperate with you!” Zayne said.

As a result, he was distracted once he started talking and did not notice the berserk zombie Caesar opening its mouth and spewing a puff of black breath with a terrible stench. The breath was spewed right in Zayne’s face. In the next second, he fainted with a grunt.

“Huh..? Senior, Senior? Don’t you die. Don’t leave me alone. I can’t live without you!” Quincy rushed forward and held Zayne in his arms.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1510

Alex and the others’ mouths twitched as they felt goosebumps all over upon hearing it.

Waltz struck her palm backhandedly with a surge of Chi. “Take your senior and head to the back. Don’t get in the way here.”

A gush of force pushed away from the two disciple brothers.

Freya said, “I need to stab the golden eyed Golden Zombie’s heart with the Dragon Soul Wood, but he’s too fast. I need help. ”

Alex asked, “Can’t I help you to stab it?”

Freya shook her head. “You can’t. I have to stab this Dragon Soul Wood myself. It’s useless if others do it.”

After a pause, she continued, “But, you can help me to stab it together!”

During their conversation, zombie Caesar had attacked dozens of times. Its eyes shot a golden light, and its body was filled with a murderous aura.

“Silver Frost, Absolute Freeze!”

Maya was the first person to use the ultimate move.

Then Waltz… Waltz’s Moon of the Nine Revolutions had a little effect. Once she activated Moon of the Nine Revolutions, the zombie seemed to be even more agitated. In the end, she could only retreat to one side.

“You people go away! Let me do it!”

It was Dorothy.

Her Fiery Phoenix Bow was drawn into a full moon. The fiery red phoenix brought along an indomitable attack with a loud shriek and ferociously hit the zombie Caesar’s body that was temporarily frozen.

Dorothy said, “What’re you waiting for? Hurry up!”

In the next moment, Alex hugged Freya’s waist with one and grabbed the Dragon Soul Wood with another hand while making a stomp with his foot.

Bam!

A large crater was formed on the green stone under his feet from the stomp. The two people’s bodies soared high.

Freya’s hands tightly held the Dragon Soul Wood as well.

“Stab it!”

Puff!

The one meter long Dragon Soul Wood that was as thick as an arm was ferociously stabbed into the golden eyed Golden Zombie’s heart.

The zombie howled to the sky. It made its final struggle by slamming its hands fiercely, throwing Alex and Freya into the air.

Alex slammed into the wall hard as his hair and face were covered in dust. However, Freya floated in mid-air.

It turned out that after the Dragon Soul Wood was inserted into the zombie’s heart, a burst of rumbling thunder sounds was heard, and there was even a series of dragon’s howls in between. A dragon’s phantom appeared in mid-air and supported Freya steadily.

“May all those who preside over warriors be my vanguard!”

Freya bit her fingers and created a seal with her blood, drawing a hexagram in the void.

Finally, it condensed into a blood talisman.

With a wham, it was pressed onto the Dragon Soul Wood.

“Argh..!”

The zombie let out an earth shattering roar.

The entire underground space trembled, and there were even crushed stones falling.

In the blink of an eye, the zombie lost the last of its vitality and turned into a pool of dust.

“Hurry up and go. This place is going to collapse!”

“But, there’s no way out ahead!”

“Retreat to the passage, hurry. The stones there are sturdy and won’t fall!”

Alex immediately picked up Kenneth’s broken arm while Freya retrieved her Dragon Soul Wood before hurriedly escaping back to the passage.

Boom!

In the next moment, the entire hall where they were still in battle earlier collapsed.

When the crowd turned around and looked back again, they were instantly shocked. The hall was gone, but a bloody river appeared below.

However, at this moment,

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!

Clapping sounds were heard behind Alex as an unfamiliar man’s voice spoke. “Not bad, not bad. William Rockefeller’s son, you didn’t let me down!”
