C923 They're All Chess Pieces
Compared to Lin Xiao, Cloud Sage's words carried a lot more weight. With his prestige, his words had stirred up a lot of people. The tense atmosphere finally eased up a lot.
However, right at this moment, two Saint Master skeletons passed through the safe zone and rushed towards the group without a care in the world.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The attacks from the two Saint Master skeletons were even more ferocious than the previous ones. It was as if they had suddenly regained their consciousness and were constantly chasing after the group of people.
"Argh!"
"Help me!!?"
...
Miserable screams continuously rang out. The morale that had just stabilized with great difficulty was once again scattered. Everyone dispersed in a flurry and escaped outside.
There was nothing they could do!
These two Saint Master skeletons were simply too ferocious. They were simply unable to withstand their attacks.
"Nether River, retreat!"
Seeing this scene, Lin Xiao quickly ordered Patriarch Nether River to lead him away.
Although he didn't want to retreat at this time, the morale of the army had already fallen apart. They couldn't join forces, and there was no way they could be a match for the Saint Master Skeleton.
Not to mention... These two Saint Master skeletons were like Demon God who had descended from the heavens. They were very brave and fierce, constantly slaughtering Sage Expert who was on their side. Their momentum was like a hot knife cutting through butter.
As a matter of fact, the gap between a Saint Master and a Saint was huge. Lin Xiao and the others had almost killed two Saint Master skeletons. On one hand, it was because they had no consciousness. On the other hand, it was also because of the constant consumption and probing. But now, their strength had almost been depleted, and their opponent had suddenly been revived with full health. How could they possibly resist?
Seeing the continuous deaths of people, Lin Xiao understood. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for them to defeat the Saint Master Skeleton. The only thing they could do now was to protect themselves!
Under Patriarch Nether River's protection, Lin Xiao quickly retreated and avoided the attack of the Saint Master Skeleton. However, the people in the team kept dying. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, hundreds of people had died, which accounted for 90% of their team. The remaining 20 to 30 people were all covered in injuries.
What should he do?
At this moment, everyone felt despair.
Just as Lin Xiao was about to take out the Indestructible Demonic Sword, a miracle happened.
The ferocious Saint Master Skeleton's body twitched for a moment, then it suddenly collapsed to the ground, as if it had lost all its strength. Its life force was slowly fading away.
"Are they going to die?"
Upon seeing this scene, the people who were fleeing in panic stopped in their tracks. They carefully stared at the Saint Master skeleton, and exchanged a glance with each other.
"It should be."
Lin Xiao quickly made a judgment and said to Patriarch Nether River and Cloud Sage, "Now is the best time to deal with them. Otherwise, it will be impossible for us to go there once they recover their strength."
Of course, Patriarch Nether River would not disobey Lin Xiao's order. Cloud Sage hesitated for a moment, then rushed forward with Patriarch Nether River. The two of them fought one skeleton each, and they easily killed the two skeletons.
The two Saint Master skeletons that they had just killed were like two ordinary skeletons after losing their strength. They were easily crushed by Patriarch Nether River and Cloud Sage.
"This..."
Seeing this scene, the remaining twenty to thirty people revealed expressions of relief.
They never thought that the heavens would never cut off their path. They had still killed these two Saint Master skeletons, but the price they had paid was too great!
Many of the dead were their comrades. Watching them die just like that made the survivors feel bad.0
"Thank you so much!"
Right at this moment, a burst of laughter resounded by their ears. Following the laughter, Lin Xiao and the others saw two familiar figures. They were none other than Zhu Hongyi and Crocodile King.
When they saw Zhu Hongyi and Crocodile King, everyone couldn't help but frown.
Those who were able to survive until the end, be it in terms of strength or intelligence, were not bad. When they saw Zhu Hongyi and Crocodile King arrive late, they even said such words. They also understood that the opening of this secret treasure was a conspiracy of Zhu Hongyi and Crocodile King!
One had to know that this was the tomb of a Late Saint Master Stage, Peak, or even a Holy King. It was obvious how important the treasures inside were. How could Zhu Hongyi and Crocodile King let them know so easily?
Even if they knew about it, how could the two of them not show up? They had paid a huge price and finally killed the two Saint Master skeletons before they showed up. They were supposed to be enemies, but they appeared at the same time. They seemed to have a good relationship with each other.
All of this revealed the meaning of a conspiracy!
One of the Sage Expert looked at Zhu Hongyi angrily and said while gnashing his teeth, "Zhu City Lord, how dare you join hands with the crocodiles to deal with the human race?"
Zhu Hongyi had a pretty good reputation in the outside world. In the past, these people respected him very much, but now, they only hated him and had no other feelings for him. Naturally, they wouldn't give him any good treatment.
However, Zhu Hongyi and the crocodile didn't care about it. To them, it was enough that they had achieved their goal, and nothing else was important.
In any case, these people wouldn't leave this place alive!
They had already thought about this plan when they had decided on it. The power of this ancient tomb was certainly not simple. That was why they had deliberately put on a show to trick these Sage Expert into entering the tomb first and explore the way for them. At the same time, they would sweep away the obstacles and come out to kill the remaining people after everything was settled.
In this way, not only would no one know about their plot, The secret treasure in this ancient tomb would also be theirs, and they would be able to save a lot of energy!
Thinking of this, Zhu Hongyi smiled hideously and said faintly, "So what if we join forces with the demon race? So what if I kill you? The strong will only join forces with the strong, and weak saints like you don't deserve to join forces with me! "
In Zhu Hongyi's eyes, these saints were no different from ants, even if hundreds of saints died. He didn't care at all!
Hearing Zhu Hongyi's words, Lin Xiao frowned and shouted to the surviving twenty to thirty saints, "He wants to silence everyone. Everyone, run!"
Zhu Hongyi was a very famous Saint Master, how could he not care about his own reputation?
The fact that he dared to openly admit that he had joined forces with the Gator Demon King in front of them indicated that he had the intention to kill. He didn't want to let anyone who was present go!
Realizing this, Lin Xiao immediately reminded the others.
Under such circumstances, if they didn't run now, it would really be too late!
