And the crystal person did not chase after them, still standing there quietly.

“I can’t believe this!”

Xu Zong widened his eyes and immediately chased after Yan Hai without hesitation!

“So the crystal people in this relic don’t stop the assessors from going deeper!”

Xu Zong and Liu He both thought that they had to pass the first level to enter the second level. Xu Zong had no experience, while Liu He had too much experience and suffered as a result.

Only Yan Hai, this idiot, discovered this special rule and directly bypassed the crystal person, not accepting the assessment at all, and went straight into the depths of the relic!

In front, Yan Hai had already rushed out of the passage, glanced around, and ran straight to the right without stopping.

Xu Zong had just crossed the crystal person, and the crystal person indeed did not chase after them. It sat and watched as the two of them crossed over. Seeing that no one else was being assessed, it retracted its body and returned to the wall.

In less than a second, Xu Zong crossed the second passage and entered a new corridor, then flew to the right.

Two hundred meters ahead on the right side were ten passages for the third level. Yan Hai turned directly and rushed through the passage, reaching the end of the third level, with Xu Zong following closely behind.

At the end of the third level was another passage, but it did not lead to the right. On the right, there was only a thick wall, while on the left, there was a corridor about three hundred meters long. Yan Hai quickly rushed towards the left passage.

“It’s useless, Yan Hai, you’re not faster than me!”

Xu Zong chuckled inwardly.

His primal energy genes erupted fiercely, and the air automatically retreated, instantly increasing his running speed several times over!

In less than a second, Xu Zong directly surpassed Yan Hai!

Yan Hai looked at Xu Zong in shock, completely unexpected that Xu Zong’s speed would surpass his own. In the moment that Xu Zong passed by him, his eyes narrowed, his long knife unsheathed, and he angrily slashed towards Xu Zong!

The passage itself was only three hundred meters long, and for these two people, it didn’t take a second to cross.

But at this moment, neither of them wanted the other to reach the depths first. If there was a control room for the entire relic in the depths, wouldn’t they be giving the greatest benefits to someone else for no reason?

Facing Yan Hai’s sudden slash, Xu Zong immediately switched to a sliding posture.

“Clang!”

There was a crisp sound, and Yan Hai’s knife was directly knocked away.

Yan Hai’s eyes widened, his face full of confusion.

What’s going on?

I’m at the second level of the Celestial Level, at least a newly promoted first level Celestial Level would be knocked away by my slash. How come he didn’t even move?

Xu Zong quickly slid out and instantly reached the end of the passage.

At this end, a crystal person was standing in the middle of the passage, emitting a crimson light all over its body, its existence unknown for how long.

Behind it was a huge room.

“Welcome to the deepest part of this relic. The room here is the control room of this relic. As long as you master the control room, you can control the entire relic!”

A voice came from the crystal person, making Xu Zong and Yan Hai overjoyed.

So the room at the deepest part is really the control room of this relic!

Xu Zong was initially delighted.

But then, his expression suddenly changed, showing a deep shock. Without hesitation, he stepped on the brakes and stopped right in front of the crystal person.

On the other hand, Yan Hai didn’t stop at all and directly crossed over the crystal person, flying into the deepest part of the room with a happy expression on his face.

“Ah!”

A short scream abruptly stopped, and Yan Hai’s presence disappeared without a trace.

Yan Hai was dead.

In the passage.

The crystal person, which had been there for an unknown amount of time, possibly being maintained by maintenance robots, still shimmered all over, making its voice echo throughout the entire passage.

“Welcome to the deepest part of this relic. The room here is the control room of this relic. As long as you master the control room, you can control the entire relic.”

This was what Xu Zong heard in his ears, full of temptation.

But.

“Alert! Alert! Enemy invasion! Enemy invasion! The enemy is powerful and cannot be stopped. This device will open all internal passages. All assessors inside this device, please leave immediately! Please leave immediately!”

This was what Xu Zong’s brain heard, full of pressure.

When the two were combined, it sent shivers down his spine!

“What’s going on? Why am I hearing two different voices?”

Xu Zong covered his head, looking at the crystal person in horror.

“Damn it, so there really is an enemy invasion. No wonder all the passages are open!”

“These crystal people are just programs, so they are still working, unaware that their entire home is gone.”

“Yan Hai died too recklessly!”

The three Xu Zongs gathered together, exchanging their opinions.

But Xu Zong, the Fire Qilin, looked at Xu Zong, the Swallowed Star.

“What did you say about hearing two different voices just now?”

“Don’t you guys hear it?”

Xu Zong’s expression changed.

“I heard two voices from this crystal person. One said that the control room is inside, and the other said that there is an enemy invasion!”

“But I only heard the voice saying there is an enemy invasion.”

The Fire Qilin smoothed its mane and showed a strange expression.

“Only you can hear the voice saying there is a control room inside… Could it be that there are illusions set up around this passage, trying to lure outsiders in?”

“Is that possible?”

“Is it because Yan Hai fell into an illusion that he was so eager to die?”

The other Xu Zongs also looked at each other in astonishment.

“We can’t hear the voice saying there is a control room inside… Could it be that the live broadcast doesn’t show illusions?”

“In that case, the problem is big!”

“What exactly is this place? Why is it luring people in?”

The several of them looked at each other, feeling a bit confused.

This is a relic after all!There were no ancient civilization relics on Earth that were less than tens of thousands of years old. This one, located beneath the Himalayas, must have endured countless changes over time. How could there still be living people inside? Whether they were enemies or survivors of the ruins, they should have escaped through various passages long ago!

“I think we should be cautious at this time.”

The only one with a physical presence here, Swallowed Star Xu Zong, shook his head at the sight.

“Something is clearly wrong here. I don’t want to risk my life. Let’s wait until we become stronger!”

“I agree!”

“Absolutely!”

The other Xu Zongs nodded in agreement.

Since there was an illusion set up here, there must be something strange inside. And the things flowing in the illusion, the current Swallowed Star Xu Zong was unable to resist. It would be reckless to go in now. It would be safer to wait until we become stronger, become a world master, immortal, and then explore!

After leaving, we must explain the situation here to Liu He and others, then unite all the strong people on Earth to seal off these ruins. We absolutely cannot let anyone in!

“If we let others in, the strong people on Earth will be wiped out! I wonder what’s inside? Could it be some strange cosmic life?”

With a heavy heart, Xu Zong made up his mind and planned to leave.

Just then.

“Ding! Detected special substances in the surroundings. Upload them to the chat group to earn 100,000 points!”

Xu Zong was taken aback.

“What’s wrong?”

The others asked in confusion when they saw him stop.

“Did you receive any prompts?”

“What prompts?”

“It says there are special substances inside. If we upload them to the chat group, we can get 100,000 points.”

“100,000?!”

The other Xu Zongs exclaimed in surprise.

What did 100,000 points mean?

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong had been signing in the chat group for ten years and only got a little over 3,000 points. To teleport to other worlds, it required 10,000 points. 100,000 points were enough for ten round trips!

Although the chat group currently had no mall or other ways to spend points, 100,000 points were very tempting. After all, the more precious the item, the more points it would consume to teleport. For example, the Blood Ruyi of Martial World General Xu Zong required a full 100 points to teleport. That’s why Swallowed Star Xu Zong didn’t choose Blood Ruyi, but Blood Bodhi.

In the future, if there were any good things to share, a large number of points would be needed for teleportation.

“Could this also be an illusion created by the opponent?”

“I don’t think so. Even the live broadcast room ignores illusions, let alone the chat group!”

“That makes sense. We need to think about this long-term!”

The Xu Zongs sat down on the ground, deciding to exchange their current opinions.

The other Xu Zongs sat cross-legged, Fire Qilin was crouching, and only Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong was sitting with his legs hugged.

“What are you looking at?”

Facing the strange gazes of the Xu Zongs, Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong felt a chill on his scalp.

“What’s wrong with looking at you?”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong immediately raised his head arrogantly.

“Then you get out of the live broadcast room!”

“Alright, the most important thing now is the ruins at hand.”

Martial World General Xu Zong played the peacemaker. After a pause, when the two quieted down, he continued.

“The thing inside is likely a cosmic life form with illusion abilities. What do you think?”

“Roar. (It could be a life form, or something else. It’s hard to say. I find it strange that the chat group would need such a thing. Isn’t this the first time the chat group has asked us to upload something?)”

“Indeed.”

“From what we can see now, leaving this thing alone is not good for Earth. But the key is the danger. Yan Hai, a second-order Celestial Level, went in and died. It’s quite scary.”

“Roar. (I don’t think it’s a big problem.)”

“Why do you say that?”

“Roar. (This ruin has probably existed for a long time, but the thing inside has always been there. It probably can’t move, or can’t get out. Otherwise, the civilizations on Earth would have been destroyed long ago.)”

Fire Qilin Xu Zong said calmly.

“Roar! (Since it almost can’t move, we have a chance to deal with it!)”
