Chapter 1203: Something Feels Off
Very soon, everyone arrived deep underground. Xu Hao estimated that it must be about fifty meters deep here. It's hard to imagine that with the technology from more than two thousand years ago, such a feat could be achieved.
However, the Yin chill in the air grew increasingly dense.
Xu Hao looked around, feeling a vague sense that in the deepest part of this Sun Temple, there likely existed terrifying dangers. The thick aura of coldness here was quite abnormal. He had been underground before and knew that temperatures do drop as you go deeper, but it was never this cold.
Gradually, not only did Xu Hao feel it, but other people's expressions also became somewhat strange. Hai wood directly said, "Florando, what exactly is in here? Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"
Velsky also frowned. Florando, being a Blood Clan member, was a Yin-element creature, whereas their Werewolf Clan was a Yang-element race. Historically, the Blood Clan and the Werewolf Clan had deep-seated hatred for each other. However, strong individuals like them were good at controlling their emotions.
Otherwise, if a Baron-level Blood Clan member met a transformation-level Werewolf, there would definitely be a direct confrontation.
The reason Velsky chose Xu Hao directly among so many people earlier was partly due to this; cooperation with Florando was almost impossible for him.
In such a cold environment for a Yang-element creature like him, it was very uncomfortable and would somewhat limit his power. At his level, even a ten percent power reduction was frightening, not to mention even just five percent. He would definitely be overwhelmed by Florando.
Therefore, he was slightly worried in his heart at this moment.
Kameda Saburo chuckled, "We are all renowned strong individuals in the world; is there any need to be so cautious? Who cares what's down here? When the time comes, we all rush in together and just take it down, won't we?"
He seemed to worry about nothing, making others think he was a brainless fool.
But no one seriously believed that. It was impossible for the Kameda family to send out a fool, especially one so powerful.
Florando laughed, "Brother Saburo is right. It's useless to discuss outside because we have to go in eventually. However, if anyone's scared, they can stay out. But, as strong individuals, we must maintain the basic bottom line, which is to ensure not robbing those who come out from inside."
When these words were heard, everyone understood in their hearts that there was indeed great danger within!
Florando actually said this, indicating that even he was not sure of coming out unscathed. What was in there that could make someone ranked seventy-eighth on the Heavenly List this cautious?
Each person harbored their own ulterior motives. As the traps intensified, gradually some people got injured. Unless there was a threat to life, the strong wouldn't deliberately protect the weak. They needed to preserve their strength.
You could even say that in such situations, the weak were essentially cannon fodder.
Xu Hao and several other strong individuals took turns leading the way, clearing the path for the rest. The hidden weapons that required the weak to be fully alert were easily dealt with by them.
When the group reached the mausoleum's main gate, more than a dozen people were severely injured, yet the few strong ones showed no sympathy at all.
The main gate of the mausoleum was extraordinarily tall, more than four meters high. Evidently, the inside of the mausoleum must be pretty high.
Carved above was a large disc, presumably representing the Sun.
Florando laughed, "Kidd, come, open the door."
Kidd first inserted his half of the key, then Florando inserted his other half and gently turned the key.
Everyone saw the massive door rumbling open, followed by an extremely dense Yin chill bursting forth from inside. Those with weaker strength were directly blown back by the impact, and even members of the Werewolf Clan had their powers reduced by the onslaught.
Velsky's face instantly turned very unsightly. In such an environment, the Werewolf Clan suffered significantly. His expression changed, but he ultimately did not help those below the Grandmaster Level. As for those at the Grandmaster Level, they didn't need his help.
He needed to preserve his strength; his power was paramount right now.
Seeing Velsky indifferent to the injured Werewolf Clan members, Florando felt somewhat regretful. He would do whatever it took to weaken the Werewolf Clan, but clearly, he failed.
Velsky evidently knew how to weigh importance, which greatly disappointed Florando; Velsky would absolutely not be his ally but rather a potential enemy.
However, Xu Hao extended a hand to block several attacks directed at the weaker Werewolf Clan members. Had he not blocked them, those people would have definitely lost their combat power. At this moment, losing combat power was tantamount to a slow death!
