Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 947 - 443: The Hidden Shell, Fallen Master!

Chapter 947: Chapter 443: The Hidden Shell, Fallen Master!

Lin Xun collected the two nightmare statues into the "Cage of the Stars" and then quickly proceeded to the deeper levels of the tomb.

[Descending the steps, you arrive at the deeper layers of the "Ancient Grave"...]

[The sights here resemble those on the upper level, the only difference being the drastically reduced number of earthen jars and their substantially larger sizes.]

[You randomly pick one of the jars and browse the inscriptions on its surface.]

[According to the inscriptions, you learn that the owner of the jar was a powerful demon of the Demon God level, who had achieved many glorious victories in the wars of the Gods and had ultimately fallen with honor...]

[In the Demon Clan, hierarchy is strictly defined, unlike the higher levels of the tomb, the demons buried here are at least of the Demon God level...]

[You open several jars, which still contain an abundance of Black Sand Powder...]

[You decide not to pay any more attention to these jars and hastily continue toward the deepest part of the tomb...]

[...]

[As you pass tomb chamber after tomb chamber, you finally arrive at the end of the tomb.]

[The tomb chamber at the very end covers a vast area, yet it is empty, save for three towering thrones standing in the deepest part of the chamber.]

[The view before you is finally not the repetitive earthen jars, sparking your interest, you quickly approach the thrones...]

[The three thrones are all unoccupied, leaving behind only three black horns of varying shapes and sizes.]

[The largest of these horns is bigger than the volume of a Refined Copper carriage, while the smallest horn is only as long as a common person’s arm.]

[Even after countless years, and despite the ravages of time, you can still sense the terrifying strength of the owners of these three horns while they were alive.]

[For some reason, these three horns of demons were not ground into Black Sand Powder to be put in jars but were instead, left alone atop the thrones.]

[You’ve discovered the "Horn of the Fallen Master" (special item)!]

[You’ve discovered the "Horn of the Slaughter Demon" (special item)!]

[You’ve discovered the "Horn of the Pillar of Darkness" (special item)!]

[Will you decide to take the three horns of the demons into your bag?]

"Eh? Are the owners of these three horns the same as the most powerful Demon Deities mentioned by the statue of the demon?"

Lin Xun’s face lights up with joy, but he doesn’t immediately press the option to collect them.

[Though time is of the essence, you choose not to directly collect the three horns left by the strongest Demon Gods, being cautious.]

[You know that at the entrance to the deeper levels of the tomb, there are guardian demon statues, so facing the relics of the once strongest trio of Demon Gods, there must certainly be guardians or some sort of trap here.]

[You carefully inspect the surrounding environment and carefully search, but you find nothing out of the ordinary.]

[You walk around the thrones, and on the backside of one, you discover inscribed records...]

[These inscriptions recount the life stories of the three Demon Gods. You scan them hurriedly but don’t notice anything amiss...]

"Hiss... That isn’t right."

"Given the nature of the Underworld Game, with the three horns of the Demon Gods right in front of me, there’s got to be a BOSS or a massive trap."

"Having not seen a BOSS or detected any trap, is it that the trap will only be triggered once the items are taken..."

[O apostle of doubt, what choice will you make next?]

[1. Take a calculated risk, opting to take the three horns of the Demon Gods despite knowing there must be a related trap. After all, risking one’s life for vast gain is not foolhardy, but daring to face danger...]

[2. Shrink back, wisely choosing to turn around and leave despite knowing there must be a related trap. After all, beyond the tomb, many demons await you, and if you were to die here, the esteemed title of ’Child of the Abyss’ would become out of reach...]

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, weighed his options carefully, and finally pressed the first choice.

[You stride to the thrones and one by one take the three horns of the Demon Lords into your bag...]

[You have obtained the "Horn of the Fallen Master" (special item)!]

[You have obtained the "Horn of the Slaughter Demon"...]

[You have obtained...]

[After collecting the three horns of the Demon Lords, you immediately tense up, fully alert, prepared for any eventuality.]

[Whether it’s traps that may spring to life or guardian monsters that might emerge from nowhere, you are mentally prepared.]

[However, after taking the three horns into your bag, nothing out of the ordinary happens...]

"Could it be the Underworld Game has changed its ways?"

"Or perhaps due to great age, the response mechanism or trap device has failed?"

Seeing such an illogical scene unfold, Lin Xun doesn’t have time to think twice; he operates the Shell and immediately makes a run for it.

Having acquired the most precious item from the tomb, why linger for a trap to spring and not make an escape?

He runs at full speed, swiftly returning to the upper levels of the tomb...

Meanwhile, during his escape, he opens his inventory to check the properties of the items.

[The "Horn of the Fallen Master" (special item): A horn left by one of the once most powerful Deities of the Demon Clan. After being subjected to numerous years of time, the special material of the horn has long since lost its effectiveness, and the great power remaining within has almost vanished... Besides serving as a remembrance of the great past Demon Gods, it seems to bear no other use.]

[The effects of this item are unknown, and it cannot be actively used.]

[The "Horn of the Slaughter Demon" (special item): A horn left by one of the once most powerful Deities of the Demon Clan...]
