Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1246 - 143: Triple Gates (Part 1)

The vines hung on the bronze door like tentacles, their age turning them into something akin to door locks, yet Xu Shu forcefully tore them apart.

The bronze door emitted a wailing sound, cracking open a slit, and gradually opened inward.

Heavy objects fell to the ground with a thud.

Upon closer inspection, they were egg-like pods about two meters in length.

Inside the translucent membrane were human figures, most with limply hanging limbs and appearing bluish-grey, clearly devoid of life.

"These must be explorers consumed by the Land Sharks in the past."

As everyone drew this conclusion, with a clang, the bronze door opened completely.

In front of them lay an extremely vast room, comparable to a grand theater hall, spanning at least a hundred meters at a glance.

At the center of the room stood a massive statue, nearly ten meters tall, its octopus-faced head exceptionally distinct.

The appearance resembled the left statue among the two servers in the Church—the "Spirit King" Arthur, yet it was notably different and certainly not the same one. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

For instance, the "Spirit King" statue held a magic wand, but this statue did not.

Moreover, this statue’s waist and chest carried a slight curve, although gender traits were not prominently carved, suggesting it was a "Female Spirit King" statue.

Similar to the Sword-holding Angel.

At the same time, around the hall were independent cells seemingly embedded into the walls.

This place seemed not only a temple but also a prison.

Everyone carefully approached the cells to inspect, finding most of them empty, occasionally discovering severely dust-covered gold jewelry remaining on the ground inside some cells, dazzling with gold and silver light.

"No one locked up?"

"No, perhaps over time, the bones have completely decomposed..."

"Who knows how long it’s been, the bones might have turned to dust!"

While everyone silently pondered, suddenly a loud clattering sound came from the side. Turning quickly, they found Xu Shu had pried open one of the cell doors and taken the gold jewelry inside.

He then walked out expressionlessly, quickly targeting the next cell with remaining jewelry, breaking in.

"..."

For a moment, everyone was stunned, staring blankly at Xu Shu, a Transcendent, doing the work of a Tomb Raider Captain.

"Why are you looking at me? If you want, go in and pick some yourself."

Xu Shu replied shamelessly.

There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, even the smallest mosquito is meat! This group of high and mighty folks who haven’t experienced hardship!

"..." Everyone suddenly fell silent, embarrassed to compete with Xu Shu for the small bits of gold, and instead went to observe the mysterious Spirit King statue.

Xu Shu was delighted, freely searching the surrounding cells, sweeping them clean.

Half an hour later, he counted and frowned, very dissatisfied.

The gold collected totaled less than 10 kilograms.

Silent, he thought, what kind of people did the Black Zhen School capture? They really lack appreciation for beauty.

Xu Shu silently complained in his heart.

Seeing everyone gathered like ants around the "Female Spirit King" statue centrally, researching, his curiosity piqued, and he finally walked over.

It turned out that beneath the giant Spirit King statue was another secret.

Viewed from behind, beneath the base platform, there was also an independent prison cell.

The top of the iron door of the cell was a small window, through which everyone continuously peered inside.

"Is there something inside?"

Seeing the small prison, Xu Shu was reminded of the past and went over to look as well.

Gu Pan glanced at him and moved aside: "See for yourself."

Xu Shu peered in, suddenly stunned, and muttered:

"Eh?"

"Tormenting man or woman?"
