The cold and dry underground passage was already depressing, and Lu Ban's words invisibly added a layer of urgency for these people.

The one who was most anxious among them was probably Iron Fist.

He knew very well that if what Lu Ban saw were indeed the remains of a saint, then it meant that the secrets here might have exceeded his original imagination. Something that could be guarded by the remains of a saint... was really unimaginable.

"The saint's remains here are Achilles. He disappeared from people's sight 132 years ago. This means that he was still active for at least 130 years after his death."

Tie Quan explained this, not only to Lu Ban and the others, but also to his own subordinates.

"Achilles possessed such great strength that even the strongest wilderness hunter could not confront him head-on. He was proficient in all weapons known to mankind. When he was alive, his city-state launched hundreds of wars in just a few decades and never lost a single one."

"What about his city-state now?"

Lu Ban asked curiously.

"After his death, his body left the city-state. Afterwards, the city was attacked by countless enemies and eventually disappeared from the map."

Tiequan said awkwardly.

"I see. We made too many enemies when we were alive. After we die, everyone has their revenges to take and grievances to pay off."

Lu Ban nodded repeatedly.

A country that relies on war to support war will become the common enemy of the countries it once conquered when its fighting power is weakened.

"It can be said that Achilles is almost invincible in close combat. We should try to avoid fighting him... However, the condition of the saint's remains may have changed, so we must be more cautious."

Tiequan glanced at Lu Ban.

"Flash, you go in front, Echo, you stay behind, I'll be the second one, the two of you follow me."

He commanded.

Flash is a young man whose eyes have crystallized positions. His gem-like eyes can emit strong light, illuminating the passage.

And the echo seems to be able to make some kind of sound and explore through the echo.

"ultrasound?"

Lu Ban quietly materialized [Last Words] in his hand to enhance his hearing, and heard the voice coming from the crystallized mouth and throat of the young man.

There were only unrecognizable words on the broken door. Lu Ban took a look and it seemed that the Land of Silence had no intention of helping him translate, so he could only give up.

The passage became narrow, only enough for two people to walk side by side. There seemed to be paintings on the walls, but they had long since peeled off and faded with time.

Lu Ban held a crowbar in his hand and looked over the shoulder of the person in front of him. He could see that the dark road was illuminated by flames. Perhaps, hundreds of years ago, the priests of the lost civilization walked on this road, heading towards the deepest part of the altar, where they performed rituals and dedicated their lives to the gods.

"Wait, this is an altar."

Lu Ban suddenly spoke.

"No need for you to remind me."

Wumian behind him replied.

"No, what I mean is that this is an altar, and it is used in rituals. These roads are obviously for people to walk on, and blood is needed to activate it, which means that this sacrificial ceremony should require sacrifices..."

Lu Ban organized his words.

"Is it possible that this complex tunnel is actually used for sacrifice? These roads are not decorations or burdens, but are used to trap something underneath?"

After he finished speaking, Tiequan was stunned.

“It is indeed possible.”

Iron Fist had some guesses in mind, but he didn't say them out loud.

"So, does the act of activating this tunnel with blood just now mean the beginning of the sacrifice?"

Lu Ban said what Tie Quan was thinking.

"You mean, we are all sacrifices?"

When Xia reacted, the entire tunnel began to shake violently.

"Turn back."

Lu Ban screamed, but the road behind them had changed. The original passage back was blocked by a wall, as if the maze had its own will.

Even the rope used to find the way was broken, with only a small piece left on the ground.

“We are trapped.”

The echo from behind the hall emitted a muffled voice.

"Don't be nervous."

Lu Ban said this and then extinguished the torch.

"Put out all the fires and don't waste air."

The reason why he didn't panic was, firstly, that he was not facing any additional danger at the moment, and it was far from the worst case scenario; secondly, he had seen similar situations in many adventure movies. Usually, some stupid teammate triggered the mechanism, causing changes in the tomb or secret realm, blocking the retreat.

This usually also means that if they keep moving forward, there is a high probability that they will reach the core of this underground maze.

Several people extinguished the torches, leaving only the flashing illumination, and continued forward.

Xia used detection skills to check the surroundings from time to time, but found nothing unusual.

Lu Ban thought of the pyramids. He had previously seen a documentary about a group of people exploring the pyramids. At the end of the story, most of these explorers died due to various accidents, which added a lot of mystery to the pharaohs' tombs.

When he thought of this, Lu Ban suddenly felt that everyone's footsteps were not so messy.

"Wait a moment."

He said something, turned around, saw Xia Ya and Wumian, and there was nothing unusual. He turned around and continued to move forward.

"wrong."

Lu Ban said something again, causing Tie Quan to stop.

"what happened?"

Tiequan turned around and saw Lu Ban and Wumian, he was a little confused.

"It always feels a little weird, it's too quiet."

Lu Ban muttered to himself.

"You should leave now."

Wumian urged Lu Ban from behind, and Lu Ban had no choice but to move forward and follow behind Shan Guang.

"I said, how old were you when you started doing this?"

Lu Ban then started the conversation.

"Twelve."

Flash replied.

"That's early. It must be very hard."

Lu Ban suddenly felt that the surroundings had become dark.

"Who are you talking to?"

Wumian behind him asked.

"Of course I'm talking to you."

Lu Ban answered as a matter of course.

He didn't continue speaking, but took two steps forward.

"Speaking of which..."

In the darkness, in the vision provided by Lu Ban's [True Vision], there was no one else in the dark corridor except him.

“…Is that so?”

Before he knew it, his teammates had disappeared, but they were unaware.

"Is it the influence of the extraordinary power of this underground city? Or is it the power of the saint's remains?"

Lu Ban remained calm. He picked up the crowbar and knocked on the wall.

There were a few muffled sounds, and the wall seemed to be real.

He took out [Last Word] again, switched it to ultrasonic mode, and explored the front.

"A straight path, about two hundred meters, diagonally downward, leading to a room?"

Lu Ban roughly understood the situation.

Just as he was about to move forward, he saw the "saint's remains" in white clothes and black hair standing in front of him, staring at him with eyes without whites.
