Giant rocks kept falling from above . The cracks on the ground looked so serious that it seemed the whole world would be torn apart .
Bang!
Another blast . Suddenly, they lost their balance and started to fall, then reached solid ground and started to tumble .
The demons' crazy attacks went on . Jiang Chen came to know what desperation really was, but soon he found a stone ladder under the crack .
By then, the shaking was getting weaker . Jiang Chen ran down the ladder with others, although he was in pain and didn't know what was ahead . They couldn't think of a thing, but kept running, because the demons had also swarmed onto the ladder . They would in no way give up their pursuit .
They saw a long corridor at the end of the ladder . The space was illuminated by torches on the walls .
Soon, they came to a three-way fork, so they split into three groups .
So did the demons . They ran into different passages respectively to hunt their prey .
Jiang Chen suddenly realized he had separated from Wen Xin and Meng Hao . He knew none of the people around him .
"There's a door!"
The guy running in front shouted in delighted surprise and ran even faster to get there as soon as possible .
That door was of the same height and same width as the corridor, made from darksteel, plated with rose gold and carved with a pretty pattern .
Jiang Chen and his companions pushed the door . Without too much effort, the door was open .
They flocked into the room at the quickest speed and closed the door .
"Find something to block the door!"
Jiang Chen and a few others were pushing against the door . The demons were banging on it from the other side . Fortunately, they were just pushing blindly, having no idea that it would work better if they made an effort at the same time .
"Bar! There's a bar!"
Some people found a piece of wood on the door . The door could be locked if they put the wood down .
"Will it work? It's only a piece of wood . "
Those who were pushing against the door didn't dare to be careless . They didn't ease up until they confirmed how hard the wood was .
"It's surprising this place is below the prison . Could the treasure of the Vermillion Bird State be hidden here?"
Once the crisis was alleviated for the moment, greed started to spread again .
By then, they were in a stone cave of a reasonably large size . There was a sacrificial altar opposite of the door, about 20 yards high .
There were many fresco paintings on the walls around the altar and some big boxes scattered around it .
They saw some rusty weapons and worthless copper ware in the boxes when they opened them .
However, they weren't disappointed, since this could be a sign of treasure .
On the left side of the altar, there was a stone door . Although they didn't know where it led, they were curious to know what was behind it .
Some people ran onto the altar and saw a giant rectangular rock in the middle of it . In the center of the rock, there was a crack that split it that looked like it could be opened .
Could there be treasure inside the rock?
They became excited and opened the rock right away and saw an open book inside it .
A guy picked the book up with a disappointed expression . He turned the pages roughly and found nothing but characters he couldn't understand .
Soon, other people started to complain . They thought that could be treasure, but it was only a stupid book .
"Let's take a look . "
Jiang Chen took the book . He understood the characters in it and started to explain to the others what the book was about . "They're characters used before the Era of the Hero . The book is about the history of the Vermillion Bird State . Where we are is its imperial mausoleum . "
It wasn't the imperial mausoleum of just one of the kings, all kings of the Vermillion Bird State were buried there .
The prison above had been used to keep sacrificed slaves .
When the demons had invaded, the state had turned that place into a prison to extract demon blood .
"They used the prison as the entrance of the imperial mausoleum so that the demons kept there could prevent others from robbing the tomb . Clever," Jiang Chen thought to himself .
"Imperial mausoleum? So there must be treasure in the coffin chamber . " The others' eyes lit up . There must have been lots of valuable things buried with those kings .
Some short-tempered people had already walked towards the stone door, others staring at the book in Jiang Chen's hands .
"Here you are . " Jiang Chen knew what they were thinking . They were thinking the book could be a priceless thing whose value they didn't know yet .
They handed the book around, but none of them saw anything special in it .
However, they didn't want other people to have it .
What if it was priceless?
"Burn it," someone proposed .
"There could be instructions of how to find the exit as well as maps of secret tunnels in it . Are you sure you want to burn it?" Jiang Chen said .
They hesitated .
"Read through it now . If you don't find anything special, we'll burn it . "
Jiang Chen said discontentedly, "If this were priceless, I wouldn't need your permission to take it . Do you think you're any stronger than me? Translation takes time . A word could mean many things . You want me to read it here until the end of the world?"
They had to give up when they saw Jiang Chen was irritated . Then they walked towards the stone door .
Unbelievable .
Jiang Chen put the book into his mustardseed ring, not because it was priceless, but as he had said, it could contain instructions on how to leave .
However, something suddenly occurred to him . He felt he was being targeted specially by the demons during the escape .
In the beginning, he had thought it was only an illusion, but this feeling became even stronger when they were pushing against the door .
"Low-level demons are loyal to demon lords . I killed the demon lord . Do they want revenge for his death? But how did they know that I killed the demon lord?"
Jiang Chen tried to search for the answer in the books he had read and soon figured out why .
It was because of the blood bead of the demon lord!
Only demon lords could form blood beads . It was the source of their great power .
Whoever kills a demon lord will take his blood bead . If the energy of the blood bead isn't absorbed in time, other demons will sense it .
He recalled what he had read in a book . Jiang Chen immediately examined his body and found a blood bead in his Qihai .
No wonder . If I don't absorb it in time, it will be an invitation to those demons . They'll know wherever I'm hiding .
Jiang Chen looked over to the door still under attack by the demons and took some panaceas immediately . Then he sat down to exert his martial arts method .
Little by little, the bead started to melt . At the same time, he felt a weaker hatred from the demons .
His state had also enhanced thanks to the bead .
No wonder so many people kill demons in the Alien Battlefield .
Jiang Chen was really lucky . He would in no way have been able to kill a demon lord if that one hadn't been that weak . And he received a blood bead of the demon lord that even those in the Mental Wander State lusted for .
I'm already very close to the completed late stage .
Jiang Chen stood up . Suddenly, he saw a split on the wood lump on the door . He was given a scare and hurried to walk towards the stone door .
Behind the stone door was a passage that had never been finished . Only half of it was paved with flagstones . In the second half, the ground was quite rough and difficult to walk on .
Where is everyone?
Jiang Chen felt uneasy, since his companions had suddenly disappeared . He couldn't hear a thing .
"Hello!" Jiang Chen shouted, but no one responded . He could only hear his own echo .
"Stay calm . " Jiang Chen took out his Redcloud Sword . He kept walking slowly, staying in the light emitted from his sword .
