Chapter 5 Underground Level Five

Li Wei carefully tiptoed forward, suddenly raising his right fist high, and the seven team members behind him hurriedly stopped.

Li Wei pressed his body tightly against the corner of the wall, revealing half of his head as he looked into the distance.

On the other side of the corner was a somewhat familiar area. Like the room arrangements on the previous levels, this place was also an area surrounded by three walls, and the walls were covered with exquisite carvings.

Li Wei looked inside, and his heart immediately turned cold.

He had smelled the blood for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be so bloody inside!

Corpses lay strewn about in that area, and blood flowed like a river.

And this team was enjoying the fruits of their victory... What kind of configuration was this?

How could it be Ancient Martial Souls + Ancient Martial Archers again? Were they going to shoot arrows out of the holes in the bone wall again?

Li Wei pressed his body tightly against the corner of the wall, unable to take another step forward, because these Ancient Martial soldiers were not scattered. There were at least 6 Ancient Martial Archers standing guard.

The Ancient Martial legion inside was feasting.

Yes, they were eating. They held various kinds of severed limbs and minced meat in their hands, the smell of blood permeated the air, and the ground was covered with corpses.

They had probably just besieged and killed another Ancient Martial squad. The sound of them chewing on flesh and blood reached Li Wei's ears, making him feel nauseous.

It wasn't that Li Wei had never killed before. On the contrary, he was also an "executioner," but facing the scene before him, even Li Wei felt his stomach churn. One could only imagine the hellish scene inside.

"Ancient Martial Soul + Ancient Martial Archers," Li Wei turned his head, his face serious. "Each with more than 10 soldiers, a total of 23 people."

Hearing this configuration, everyone's faces became serious. It seemed they had to strike first.

Last time, they failed to seize the initiative with Silence, allowing the Ancient Martial Soul to play a huge role.

They had fought teams like this before, so Han Jiangxue didn't want to give up this special weapon.

They needed to study the tactics carefully.

"Lu?" Suddenly, the Ancient Martial Archer, his mouth full of flesh and blood, abruptly turned his head, his blood-stained ponytail swaying, and his turbid eyes were filled with astonishing killing intent as he looked towards the end of the corridor.

In that seemingly empty area, the Ancient Martial Archer seemed to be guided by something...

The tall figure of the Ancient Martial Archer stood up, casually throwing away the blood-soaked arm. He reached out, and a jet-black bow and arrow appeared out of thin air.

The Ancient Martial Archer drew the bow and nocked the arrow, the blood and minced meat on his lips covering his heroic posture, and his long, pale fingers loosened slightly.

Whoosh!

No, he wasn't testing, but attacking!

The Ancient Martial Archer drew the bow and nocked the arrow one after another, and arrows of sacrifice shot out rapidly, with terrifying speed.

Just as the Ancient Martial Archer shot the first arrow, the Ancient Martial Soul roared, shocking a group of followers who were frantically eating.

It had to be admitted that the quality of the Ancient Martial soldiers was indeed high. At least when there was a leader present, they unconditionally obeyed orders and reacted extremely quickly.

Li Wei, who was still speaking, was slightly stunned, because he heard an ominous sound.

The next moment, the jet-black arrows of sacrifice exploded at the corner, and everyone's hearts panicked, as if their hearts were in their throats. This feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

"What... what's going on?" Xiong Chumo trembled slightly in fright, his mind suffering a heavy blow.

Jiang Xiao closed his eyes tightly, forcibly calming his mind, and hurriedly threw out the Bell.

Jingle bells!

The melodious sound of the bell saved this group of panicked students, but the arrows of sacrifice kept coming, one after another.

"Impossible! How did it find us?" Li Wei's face was astonished.

That was a good question!

But Jiang Xiao didn't want to continue to investigate. He shouted loudly, "Shield, shield!"

Li Wei hurriedly raised the black shield and flashed out of the corner.

Jiang Xiao was also working desperately, following behind Li Wei, and together they came out, carefully searching for the Ancient Martial Soul.

Although this group of archers had a strong output, the priority was to silence the Ancient Martial Soul, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Han Jiangxue also pushed Bai Yipeng out at the first moment, and Cai Nan, the shield warrior, did his best, supporting the rose shield with both hands, blocking the arrows one by one.

Wait!

Jiang Xiao's Silence was not thrown out, and Han Jiangxue's Lightning Chains were not thrown out either.

Why?

Because they saw a figure suddenly appear in the rear of the Ancient Martial legion.

Jiang Xiao's face froze, and he suddenly realized: Second rescue!?

Was this the second time their team had been rescued!? Was this fifth level underground cursed!? Or was this a coincidence? Did the other party appear so timely?

Han Jiangxue's face was covered with frost, and she said, "Go!"

She really wanted to throw out the Lightning Chains directly, treat the other party as a monster, and kill them all together!

But she couldn't.

Everyone was watching her, watching this team. Her behavior not only represented herself, but could also implicate her comrades.

Saying that, Han Jiangxue took the lead and ran towards the rear.

The commander set an example. Even if everyone had a thousand thoughts, they had to follow. The group of eight ran swiftly in the corridor. Behind them was a group of Ancient Martial soldiers chasing relentlessly.

This situation made everyone unsure whether the person behind them was rescuing them, or driving the Ancient Martial legion to kill them faster.

What to do? Turn around and fight? Work for that so-called rescuer?

Thinking in her heart, Han Jiangxue cooperated with Qi Yan, throwing out gusts of wind to the rear one after another. In the blink of an eye, everyone had run out of the stone corridor.

Back in the area under the jurisdiction of the camouflage soldiers, Jiang Xiao felt a little flustered, afraid of being forcibly rescued by the camouflage soldiers and using up the team's third rescue opportunity.

Just as Jiang Xiao was running and worrying, he seemed to hear a faint knocking sound.

This sound... Why was it so familiar?

Where had he heard it before?

"Ding... ding... ding..." Behind the stone wall, in a place where everyone couldn't see, the cloaked figure held a stone chisel in one hand, placing it against a person's body, and the other hand held a hammer, hitting it down again and again.

The person nailed to the wall, his eyes wide with rage, covered in blood, was actually the camouflage soldier from just now!?

At this time, he was nailed to the wall with the stone chisel, his body trembling, but he couldn't speak at all, which was enough to imagine how much pain he was suffering.

And this scene was exactly the same as the fourth picture that the cloaked figure had carved on the stone wall.

"At the last moment, I still hoped that my prediction was wrong," the cloaked figure's voice was slightly沧桑, looking at the struggling soldier in front of him.

"You shouldn't have come to disrupt my game. You will always open your mouth one day," the cloaked figure seemed to sense something. His movements stopped, and he stepped out and turned around. As he walked, the stone hammer in his right hand was still gently tapping the blood-stained stone chisel in his left hand.

What did it mean, "You shouldn't have come to disrupt 'my' game?"

To attribute the National High School League to "me," regardless of the strength of this cloaked figure, his tone was really not small.

"Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding." The sound of the stone hammer hitting the chisel was extremely rapid, much like the violently beating hearts of everyone at this time.

Suddenly, Han Jiangxue stopped. Due to inertia, her body even slid forward half a meter.

Everyone stopped one after another, their faces shocked, because they all saw the suddenly appearing cloaked figure.

Compared to the situation when they saw him before, at this moment, the cloaked figure's stone chisel was already covered with bright red blood, and the scene was extremely horrifying.

Wasn't this the mysterious stone carver they had encountered in the stone corridor before?

How did he get here?

Why was he covered in blood...?

Everyone was frightened, and the Ancient Martial army behind them was not delayed for too long by the rescuer. The Ancient Martial legion was still chasing quickly.

"Go! Go!" Jiang Xiao shouted loudly, "Return the way we came!"

Jiang Xiao never threw out Silence from beginning to end, but he was always on edge, looking at the mysterious cloaked figure in front of him.

Jiang Xiao knew that throwing out Silence meant that he was announcing his withdrawal from the competition.

As long as he dared to actively attack the Star Warrior officers, it would definitely be a violation of the rules. Not to mention that he would be withdrawn from the competition, he might not even be able to participate in this year's college entrance examination, and Jiangbin No. 1 High School would not be able to participate in provincial and national competitions for several years.

So Jiang Xiao kept holding Silence, calling everyone to run quickly.

And the cloaked man was walking towards Jiang Xiao step by step...

"Gulu." Jiang Xiao's Adam's apple squirmed. If you come any closer, I'm really going to do it.

Wait, the direction was wrong?

Jiang Xiao suddenly realized that the direction of the cloaked figure's advance was the entrance to the stone corridor that they had just escaped from?

"Two more left." The cloaked figure stood alone at the entrance of the stone corridor, reaching out a hand. The next moment, no matter how far or near, all the Ancient Martial soldiers in the corridor had the bone joints on their bodies growing wildly.

The rescuer who was entangled with the Ancient Martial legion in the stone corridor suddenly changed his expression. He realized the danger of the situation, but his figure was quickly submerged by the ocean of white bones.

Jiang Xiao took a step back, and the cloaked figure suddenly turned his head and faced Jiang Xiao.

Due to the angle, Jiang Xiao didn't know what happened in the corridor. He didn't care and ran away.

The cloaked figure's expression was slightly complicated, as if with a trace of guilt, looking at the disappearing figures of the participating students, he slowly turned his head...

Pa ta.

The blood-stained stubble was still dripping a drop of blood,

After that, another stone-carved picture on the stone corridor wall began to play out.
