Chapter 411: Chapter 183: One Hour Left Until Death!_3

[After devout worship, the temple doors open!]

"I think knocking three times on this obelisk should do it."

Lin Baici certainly wasn’t going to kneel.

Fei Xiao had average EQ but plenty of social experience. Hearing this, he immediately took it upon himself to be the scapegoat and picked a few people out.

"You, you, and you, come here, kneel before the obelisk, and kowtow!"

The people Fei Xiao picked included both men and women, all reasonably attractive.

The ten people named were somewhat afraid, worried that they’d be sacrificed.

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!"

Fei Xiao urged, "It’s just a kowtow; you won’t lose a piece of flesh, right?"

The ten people walked nervously to the obelisk, knelt down, and kowtowed.

"With sincerity, with force, let your forehead touch the ground!" Fei Xiao demanded.

In reality, it wasn’t that strict. As soon as a girl finished her kowtow, the ground suddenly began to shake, and a door appeared in the stone wall on the obelisk’s due north side, leading to a downward passageway.

"There’s a way through!"

Fang Tianhua looked excitedly down the dark passage, but it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

After distributing flashlights to everyone, Lin Baici took up a lit pine torch, ready to head down.

"I’ll go first!"

Fei Xiao stopped Lin Baici.

Being older and the leader, he didn’t feel it right to let a younger person take the lead.

As soon as everyone entered the passage, they felt a wave of oppression and claustrophobia hit them, causing several to start panting uncontrollably.

Those with claustrophobia started to panic as soon as they entered such a place: their hearts raced, they sweated in dread, their nerves enduring tremendous torment.

But at times like this, no one would tend to them; they had to bear it alone.

The passage was long, leading ever downward. The walls and the floor were covered in dust, festooned with many cobwebs, and large spiders the size of watermelons could be seen skittering about.

Lin Baici casually set the cobwebs alight.

The flames spread, creating a cleared space, as it were.

"Should we walk faster?"

Fang Tianhua suggested. They had been walking for twenty minutes and still hadn’t left the passage.

"Let’s be careful!"

Fei Xiao wasn’t in a rush and examined the murals on the walls, hoping to find some clues, when suddenly, a cold wind blew.

"Holy shit, ghosts!"

Fang Tianhua exclaimed.

Ahead, where the flashlight beam reached, they could see gray shadows drifting toward them on the wind.

They wailed and shrieked as if they were souls bound here for a thousand years, tormented endlessly.

"Prepare for battle!"

After shouting, Fei Xiao slashed at a drifting shadow, but the blade passed through its body, leaving no wound.

However, these ghosts didn’t kill anyone either. They simply passed through the group and kept drifting forward.

"What’s going on?"

Kim Myungjin checked his body and found no problems.

"Despicable and filthy heretics, you dare enter my kingdom and disturb my rest. I curse you, within an hour, you will all die one after another!"

An imposing and majestic voice echoed through the passage, and at the same time, about half a yard above the heads of Lin Baici and the others, a small flame sparkled to life with a pop, as if lighting a fire.

But these flames weren’t the normal orange-red; they were green. As the light spread out, casting the surroundings in a ghastly green,

It was utterly creepy!

"Fuck me!"

Fei Xiao cursed, frustrated at encountering this type of rule contamination.

For the God Hunters, a simple monster-fighting god game was actually the easiest.

"What does this flame mean? Does it represent the curse?"

Hua Yue Yu looked back at the flames above everyone’s heads. Lin Baici’s flame was the largest, followed by Xia Hongyao and then Fei Xiao: "Does this flame have anything to do with combat strength?"

"I think it’s tied to vitality!"

Gu Qingqiu scanned the group. The weaker someone’s body, the smaller the flame above their head, which meant they likely wouldn’t last an hour.

"Definitely not!"

Fang Tianhua retorted, "My leader has strengthened his body hundreds of times. How could he possibly be worse than those two?"

"Will you shut up for a bit!"

Fei Xiao told Fang Tianhua to zip it.

Reason told him that Gu Qingqiu, the girl with the theory, was right.

Xia Hongyao looked young, but likely started strengthening her body with Meteorite from a young age thanks to her sister, Xia Hongmian, being stronger than him was not surprising.

But this Lin Baici, what was going on with him?

His flame was frighteningly bright.

Fei Xiao suddenly felt that Lin Baici must be no ordinary person – not the ordinary college student rumor suggested. Either his parents were suspect, or he’d been through some ordeal as a child.

He didn’t believe someone could grow so strong in just three short months.

Damn it!

What am I thinking about now?

Who has time to care about this? We need to find the source of this curse and break it.

Just as Fei Xiao was about to ask Lin Baici if he had a plan, he saw him standing there deep in thought, his face calm, showing no sign of panic.

This ability to withstand pressure was indeed strong!

I can’t compare! I just can’t!

Wait,

Fei Xiao suddenly realized that Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu also appeared calm, even a bit excited?

Are you guys masochists?

"Here we go! It’s this kind of time-limited case cracking that’s thrilling!"

Xia Hongyao rubbed her hands with anticipation, "Little Linzi, what do you make of it?"

She was ready to show off her skills. If she could solve this, she’d have bragging rights in the group with the Hotpot Fairy and other Dragon Level leaders.

Scared?

That was out of question. Never mind Lin Baici, with his sharp mind. Gu Qingqiu, the reserve member, was also a wise girl. It was thanks to her that they’d solved the previous rule contamination and gained Divine Grace.

[Charge! Charge! Charge! Run now, if you can’t defeat the Pharaoh within an hour, you’re going to die!]

The Eater God urged, [My stomach is starving!]

"Run!"

Lin Baici overtook Fei Xiao and started leading the team. Under these circumstances, they could no longer afford to be cautious.

After a hundred meters, a fork appeared ahead!

While Fei Xiao was vexed about which way to go, Lin Baici had already rushed toward the right.
