Bai Ye quickly reached the end of the passage and looked up outside. He could see that it was a huge, brightly lit hall, and it was somewhat noisy, as quite a few people were already inside.
Bai Ye wasn't particularly surprised by this. He had eliminated everyone on his route, allowing him to exclusively face all the tomb guardian spirits and complete the task of killing fifteen tomb guardian spirits at the fastest pace.
However, relatively speaking, how could Bai Ye's speed in clearing the tomb guardian spirits alone be faster than a group of people?
Therefore, there were about twenty people in the hall.
It was just that the entrance to the next area was directly in front, but these people had no intention of moving, because two tomb guardian spirits were guarding the entrance.
Those two tomb guardian spirits were two dried corpses, standing on either side of the passage. The dried corpse on the left wore golden armor and held a golden dragon mace in its hand. The dried corpse on the right wore silver armor and had a pair of dual sabers at its waist.
At the feet of the two dried corpses lay two bodies. One had its head smashed directly, with blood and brains splattering all over the ground. The other had lost its hands and feet, and was directly reduced to a crippled person.
"So it's these two guys..."
Bai Ye knew what was going on at a glance.
The Golden Armored Warrior and the Silver Armored Warrior!
Bai Ye had a fresh memory of these two. They were the gatekeepers on the necessary path to the tomb chamber in Huainan. They were a bit tricky and not easy to deal with.
However, to pass this level, one did not necessarily have to kill the Golden Armored Warrior and the Silver Armored Warrior, but could directly enter the passage on the opposite side. As long as they left the hall, the Golden and Silver Armored Warriors would not pursue.
So, the problem arose...
Bai Ye glanced at the people around him. Who would be the sacrificial lamb?
The person who rushed forward first would definitely be targeted by the Golden and Silver Armored Warriors, and those behind would get the chance to rush into the passage.
Therefore, everyone wanted to enter the passage, but no one was willing to go first.
"Everyone, please listen to me. Lingering like this is not good for anyone. Think about it, if we continue to stalemate, more and more people will appear behind us, and the situation will only get worse..."
"Moreover, shouldn't we consider our advantage? We are the first to arrive here. We are faster than everyone else. So, as long as we can continue forward, we can maintain this advantage. But if we continue to delay, this advantage will be constantly weakened. Are you willing to accept this?"
"Therefore, I believe we should unite and overcome this challenge together."
That was a man in his early twenties, wearing a T-shirt and jeans. He might be from the same world as himself, or if not, he should be a chosen one from the modern world.
The man clearly wanted to incite everyone, but Bai Ye thought this guy wasn't very smart.
Firstly, the man's analysis was very reasonable. The current situation was as he described: a stalemate was beneficial to no one. As more people gathered, the deadlock would only worsen. Secondly, the first group to arrive here certainly had an advantage, but as more people arrived, the advantage would be gradually smoothed out.
The reason Bai Ye thought the man was not very smart was that many people understood the logic, but why did no one step forward to say it?
Because the tallest nail gets hammered!
"Since you say we should unite..." someone suddenly shouted, "As long as you charge first, we will definitely follow closely. How about it?"
The man was immediately embarrassed. Wasn't this hitting the nail on the head?
Although he wanted to incite everyone, he didn't want to be cannon fodder himself.
However, when you're out and about, being thick-skinned is important.
The man pretended not to hear and continued his speech, walking past everyone. If this group didn't listen, he would find the next.
"Brother, believe me, this situation is not going to work. Are you willing to watch the path be right in front of you, yet be unable to pass?"
"As long as we unite, we will definitely be able to break through."
"Moreover, it's only difficult to accumulate strength from small amounts. As long as there are enough people, I believe others will be willing to participate."
The man quickly walked up to Bai Ye and said sincerely, "Little brother..."
"You don't need to say more!" Bai Ye interrupted him directly and said, "You're absolutely right, I'll do it!"
"Little brother, one shouldn't be so one-sided. Actually..." the man wanted to continue persuading, but suddenly felt something was wrong and said uncertainly, "What did you just say?"
Shouldn't it have been: "You're absolutely right, don't say it again next time?"
Bai Ye grinned and rushed forward. When he reached the center of the hall, he spread his hands and took out his poker cards.
The next moment, Bai Ye flicked his wrist and unleashed his flying cards, a dense shower of poker cards shooting towards the Golden and Silver Armored Warriors.
Suddenly, the Golden and Silver Armored Warriors, who had been closing their eyes, abruptly opened them.
The Golden Armored Warrior raised the golden mace in his hand and swung it forcefully forward. A terrifying gust of wind swept forward, blowing away the incoming poker cards.
The Silver Armored Warrior, on the other hand, immediately gripped his dual sabers.
With a clang!
The Silver Armored Warrior drew his dual sabers and began to dance them rapidly. Layers of silver light appeared in front of the Silver Armored Warrior, forming a dense, impenetrable barrier that blocked all the incoming poker cards.
After receiving all the poker cards, the Golden and Silver Armored Warriors attacked simultaneously, heading straight for Bai Ye.
Seeing this, the others finally came to their senses.
Someone actually fell for it?
Many people had this thought in their minds, and then, led by someone, they started running forward, intending to rush into the passage.
The man who had been persuading everyone was also overjoyed. Was his eloquence so good? He had actually tricked a sucker?
Meanwhile, Bai Ye had already engaged in combat. Seeing the Golden and Silver Armored Warriors attacking from both sides, he immediately drew his high-frequency serrated blade and swung it forcefully forward, clashing with the Golden Armored Warrior's golden mace.
After one exchange, both sides separated.
Bai Ye watched as everyone took the opportunity to run past him. He suddenly shouted to the man from before, "Brother, didn't you say everyone would help?"
"Ah? Yes, of course, we will!" the man shouted while running forward, "Believe me, I'll come and help in a moment."
After saying that, the man silently praised himself. He was truly a good person, leaving a glimmer of hope for this sucker at the last moment, and then...
The man ran even faster!
Bai Ye watched as everyone around him sprinted past him. Soon, the once lively hall became deserted. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and then...
The high-frequency serrated blade in Bai Ye's hand suddenly began to vibrate!
