My Doomsday Territory Chapter 170, Zhor.
No one would’ve expected that the legendary final stage of the tomb, the black stone gate that made the crowd stop, would be easily pushed open like this!
They had gone through h.e.l.l to get here, following the rules, one at a time. Isn’t that the most basic rule?
However, the hunters no longer thought anything when they saw the golden light from the doorway. They all rushed forward in unison. If they entered slower, the treasures would be s.n.a.t.c.hed away by others.
The black stone gate was pushed open, or rather, opened by itself. What’s behind the gate was a wide hall. It was very bright. Inside, there were many golden chests. The sparkling golden light came from these chests. The coffin in the center of the hall looked luxurious. It should be the coffin that buried the tomb owner, Zhor. Or so, the hunters thought.
Instead of looking at the coffin, they rushed towards the golden chests one by one.
………..
Outside the gate, the Hammer Brothers, Peng Bo, and Yan Dazhuang’s eyes were also red. They couldn’t help but want to rush inside.
“There’s something wrong with the golden lights!” Winnie held a small pure white Holy Hammer and whispered, “Purification!” A white aura spread out from the Holy Hammer. Suddenly, the redness in the Hammer’s brother’s eyes faded. Their steps came to a halt. They were a bit shocked. It was unconsciously affecting them.
Elaine and the others had sensed this area was shrouded in a strange power that affected people’s emotions. But they weren’t affected much and could easily restrain themselves. But Tang Yu wasn’t affected at all, probably because he was bound to the territory, so he wasn’t affected by these negative states. In this situation, they naturally chose not to step forward.
Glancing around, some hunters felt something amiss and did their best not to rush inside the gate like the others.
………..
At this time, inside the hall.
A hunter reached out and grabbed a golden treasure chest. Suddenly, a long sword stabbed him from behind. The hunter was surprised and slowly fell down. But before the killer could even take a step forward, he was suddenly shot by someone else.
The black stone hall swirled in a foul fight.
Finally…
After tearing several people into two with his bare hands, a powerful hunter held the golden treasure chest and laughed. He opened the lock with a click but was stunned. Instead of being opened, the moment his hand touched the lock, the glowing chest was dimmed and disappeared. Leaving only a decayed wooden box in his hand.
So, where does the clicky box opening sound came from?
“The coffin’s opened?”
“Who opened it?”
“No… no… it’s… opening on its own!”
Many of the hunters realized it. They had stopped fighting. Only maniac killers were still laughing and screaming, finally silenced with a bullet through his brain.
At this time, the cover of the luxurious coffin in the center of the hall rattled and fell. The hunters were wary, imagining the coffin stored a decaying corpse. But the image didn’t appear. Instead, what was inside the coffin was a white-haired man with a black eyepatch. Wrinkles spread across his face.
When the coffin’s cover fell, the man’s other eye snapped open.
“Who’s here…” The one-eyed man looked around, slightly puzzled, “I am… Zhor! King of the Thieves! So it happened! The prophesied time has come! My plan succeeded! Hahahahaha!”
He was in a deep slumber, even though his body grew old, his heart was still fiery. He felt the energy in the air, much thicker than his time. He had leaped through time! He knew that he had won at the cost of gambling away all of his supplies! He finally had the chance to break through the realm he had dreamed of or go even further!
“Then…” Zhor licked his lips, disappeared from the hunters’ eyes. And at the next moment, he reappeared beside a hunter. His slender fingers were as sharp as a knife, poking directly into the man’s heart.
Blood splattered.
He licked his lips with excitement.
………..
None of the hunters who entered the Secret Realm would lack courage, much less intimidated by Zhor. They’re not stupid. Quickly understand that this man was an enemy. Just now, the hunters killed each other. However, this time, they had a common understanding and attacked Zhor simultaneously.
Bullets were fired, and those who had the ability to launch their attacks towards Zhor. Frost spread, bullets splattered everywhere with sparks. Once again, Zhor’s figure disappeared from the crowd’s view.
“Over there! Quick! Attack!!”
“Don’t panic! He’s alone!”
Judging from the scene, Zhor had the speed advantage. But he was tired of facing so many hunters. Some people were smiling excitedly. They thought they could go home with a stash of treasure after killing him and find a way to leave this place.
At this time…
Bam! Bam!
Two other coffin covers fell off. After the dust dissipated, two warriors with full armor and helmets appeared. After their appearance, they didn’t speak. Instead, they charged straight into the crowd. They didn’t evade or dodge, leaving the hunters free to attack. But unable to leave the slightest scratch on their armor. Instead, their attacks were deadly. Attacking the hunters like slicing off a paper. The hunters had no resistance and were slain down with a slash.
That wasn’t all. Some parts of the black hole suddenly opened, revealing a pitch-black hole. A group of puppets donned in black armor and wielding great two-handed swords walked out from the pits with a banging sound. All hunters, foreign or not, were desperate. They recognized the puppets. Most of them were chased by those puppets. They had wondered where the puppets had disappeared.
“It’s a trap! We’re being tricked!”
Someone shouted. Yet, it was useless. They couldn’t even attack Zhor just now. If they make a single mistake in fighting the puppets, it would be a death sentence.
All of these changes happened very quickly, not even half a minute. The hunters who remained outside the gate were all stunned. They were relieved that they didn’t immediately rush in. Or else, they would be trapped with the puppets and wouldn’t have been able to escape. But then it occurred to them that they were in this s.p.a.ce and had nowhere to run, and their faces suddenly turned pale. They can’t move forward or backward.
Tang Yu looked around. Right now, it was clear that he had reached the end of the secret realm. Yet he still hadn’t received the system’s prompt to find where the Rift Crystals were.
At this time, Elaine frowned and whispered in his ear, “My Lord, something isn’t right. Zhor’s aura is slowly increasing.” When Elaine said that, the others also cast their eyes towards Zhor and soon noticed something wrong as well.
“Boss, look at that ground!”
Tang Yu followed the direction of the pointing to see that many hunters were killed by the puppets. Yet, the blood spilled on the hall was quickly merged into the stone slabs and disappeared. As he gazed, he could vaguely see the rune patterns on it.
He looked at Zhor again. His white hair was gradually turning black, and the wrinkles on his face slowly disappeared. Could it be Zhor life force was recovering through blood absorption? Tang Yu wasn’t sure, but…
“I shouldn’t wait any longer! Since the Rift Crystals are related to the secret realms, we need to take care of Zhor anyway.”
Maybe it’s the only way to get the Rift Crystals. If he lost this chance, he had no idea how long the territory would be stuck at Level 3.
He took 2 scrolls from his s.p.a.ce backpack, and two auras enveloped his party members. This was the most common scroll, speed, and strength increase scrolls.
At his gesture, the followers entered into battle.
“Unfortunately, even though it’s a five-man squad, this configuration isn’t a perfect match.”
Sky was the nimble offensive warrior, Gray Blade was an a.s.sa.s.sin, Elaine and Winnie were the mage and healer, and the seemingly invincible Shay was, in fact, supposedly belonging in the backline.
The followers headed straight to Zhor. The others rushed to take care of the puppets. As for Tang Yu, as the Boss, this was time to sit in the center and take command of the situation.
………….
Outside the hall.
The other hunters were surprised when they saw the party rushed inside the black stone gate. They understood the party was going to help kill Zhor so that they all would have a chance to survive. Because once the hunters inside were slaughtered, it would be their turn next. However, it’s not easy to surrender your safety for the sake of others. Some still hesitated.
Maybe the others could help to finish off Zhor, right?
So why would they sacrifice themselves inside and die?
But while they were hesitating, at this time, they were also a second party who rushed inside without thinking. In contrast, those who hesitated were ashamed. They quickly followed.
The long-lost fiery fighting spirit surged out from their heart once again!
………………..
Inside the Black Stone Hall.
Most of the previous Lindong mercenaries had formed a battle formation, trying their best to resist the puppet’s raging onslaught. However, there were black-armored puppets all around, while their companion fell down one after another. Most of them were feeling despair.
“Look! It’s those experts from that Boss! They’re here!” The person who spoke had joy in his voice. But his companion beside him quickly disillusioned him. “Yeah, they’re powerful. But Zhor is too! And don’t forget about those black puppets!”
“Maybe those experts can handle it?”
“Don’t be naive. Just now, I saw the leader of the Warhammer Mercenary was gravely injured by the puppet with a single strike. So what’s the point if they’re strong if they can’t defeat them?”
The words were heartbreaking.
The others heard it, even the mercenary who originally looked somewhat hopeful, grew frustrated.
No one would’ve expected that the legendary final stage of the tomb, the black stone gate that made the crowd stop, would be easily pushed open like this!
