When Zhao Wei led everyone away from the location of the rune and took a short rest, in the deepest part of the cave, where a group of foundation-building monks were, the huge bronze door that had been impossible to attack for a long time suddenly made a dull roar.
The roar was so sudden that it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Someone tried to attack, and a ray of light hit the huge bronze door. The door creaked and slowly opened a gap.
Seeing this, all the foundation-building cultivators present not only did not feel happy, but instead took a few steps back at the same time.
There were so many of them, and they bombarded the huge bronze gate for a full hour, but it didn't blow open.
But now, a flash of inspiration easily pushed open the door. Who would believe that it was not a trick?
Zhang Tianfang looked around and directly designated someone, "Cui Yucheng, go open the door and see what's inside."
"I?"
Cui Yucheng was stunned. He didn't expect that even though he had such an insignificant presence, he would still be targeted by the big boss.
He couldn't help but look embarrassed, "My cultivation is low, I dare not touch the treasures here..."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Yi for help, hoping that Shen Yi could say a few words for him.
However, when his eyes looked over, Meng Wan immediately looked away.
Look up and down, look left and right, but don't look at him.
Cui Yucheng's expression changed slightly, and he was about to continue to refuse, but Zhang Tianfang's face had already darkened.
He looked at Cui Yucheng coldly, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.
"Why, my words are no longer effective?"
Cui Yucheng's heart trembled. Although they were both foundation-building cultivators, the difference between foundation-building and foundation-building was sometimes greater than the difference between foundation-building and Qi-refining.
Zhang Tianfang had been famous for a long time, so he didn't dare to refuse the other party's order. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk forward, carefully pushing open the huge bronze door.
Inside the door is a deep stone chamber. In the center of the chamber stands a huge sarcophagus, which is carved with intricate patterns and looks extremely ancient.
Apart from the sarcophagus, the stone chamber was empty. Only a few eternal lamps were burning around the sarcophagus, emitting a faint light.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They thought there would be some danger behind the bronze door, but they didn't expect there was only a stone coffin.
Cui Yucheng stood at the door, hesitating and not daring to go in. Zhang Tianfang snorted coldly and walked straight into the stone chamber.
The Bloody Hand Butcher, Zhao Wuji and others followed closely behind.
Meng Wan's eyes flashed slightly, and she followed the crowd forward, quietly landing at the back.
Everyone looked at the sarcophagus, with a hint of greed in their eyes, but no one was rash enough to open it.
"There must be a treasure hidden in this sarcophagus. Cui Yucheng, come here and open it. I will give you a share of the treasure inside."
Cui Yucheng's face turned pale instantly. This was the sarcophagus of an ancient demon cultivator. Who knew what was inside.
However, facing Zhang Tianfang's order, he dared not disobey, so he walked forward tremblingly and reached out to push the lid of the sarcophagus.
"Boom—"
The lid of the sarcophagus was pushed open, and a strong spiritual energy poured out from the sarcophagus. Everyone's eyes lit up instantly. There was indeed a treasure in the sarcophagus!
Everyone looked closely and saw a thumb-sized, crystal clear stone floating in the center of the sarcophagus.
The strange stone emits a soft light, without any spiritual fluctuations, but it strangely attracts everyone's attention, making people want to take it for themselves.
"What kind of treasure is this?"
"Could this be the old devil's lifelong collection?"
Everyone's eyes became hot and their breathing became much faster.
Cui Yucheng, who was closest to the strange stone, had a glimmer of greed in his eyes and directly grabbed the strange stone!
As soon as Cui Yucheng stretched out his hand, a sharp sword energy cut off his wrist, and blood gushed out.
"ah!"
Cui Yucheng screamed, took a few steps back holding his broken wrist, his face as pale as paper.
A monk in green robes succeeded in his sneak attack, sneered, and with a flash of his body, he was about to put the strange stone into his pocket.
"court death!"
Zhang Tianfang shouted angrily and slapped out with his palm. The powerful palm force directly knocked the green-robed monk away, hitting the stone wall and causing him to vomit blood.
A cold light flashed in the Bloody Hand Butcher's eyes, and his figure appeared above the strange stone like a ghost. He pressed down with one palm, trying to put the strange stone into his pocket.
"Don't even think about it!"
Zhao Wuji roared and swung the sword in his hand. Sword energy flew across the sky and collided with the Bloody Hand Butcher's palm power, making a deafening roar.
In the small stone chamber, spiritual energy overflowed and light flashed.
In order to fight for this strange stone, everyone used various means and started a melee.
Some monks used magic weapons, some monks cast spells, and some monks relied on their strong physical bodies to directly charge forward.
Meng Wan also felt her heart beating faster, her blood boiling, and she had an urge to join the battle.
But she was an old hand at the blood game after all, and she realized something was wrong in an instant.
Her emotions were infinitely magnified, especially her desire for treasure, which became unprecedentedly strong.
Meng Wan was almost unable to suppress the impulse in her heart. She practiced the "Blood Demon Heavenly Killing Art" several times before she was able to control the madness in her heart.
While everyone was caught up in the melee and had no time to pay attention to other things, she quietly retreated a little, and only stopped when she retreated outside the stone chamber.
Following Meng Wan, the Bloody Hand Butcher also vaguely realized that something was wrong.
But she was already deeply involved in the battle, being attacked from both sides by Zhao Wuji and another cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and it was difficult for her to escape!
The Bloody Hand Butcher took a deep breath and shouted, "Everyone, listen to me!
You've been disturbed by this strange stone! Stop immediately, or if you continue fighting, everyone will die here!"
However, the Bloody Hand Butcher's words not only failed to stop the chaotic scene, but instead aroused suspicion of his motives.
"Butcher, if you're scared, just go away. Why are you pretending to be so hypocritical?"
Zhang Tianfang sneered, abandoned his original opponent, and rushed towards the Bloody Hand Butcher.
He doesn't care about the impact or not. His purpose of coming here is to find treasure.
The treasure is right in front of us, so of course we have to fight for it!
Among all the people present, the Bloody Hand Butcher and Zhao Wuji posed the greatest threat to him. After getting rid of the Bloody Hand Butcher, only Zhao Wuji would be left.
Other people had the same idea as Zhang Tianfang.
At this moment, no one tried to explore the secret of the strange stone. In everyone's eyes, there was only the transparent and mysterious strange stone itself.
The Bloody Hand Butcher's face changed, realizing that he had miscalculated.
The strange stone has a clever way of influencing people. It does not force anyone to change their thoughts, but rather conforms to the thoughts of the crowd and quietly amplifies their inner desires.
Even without the influence of the strange stone, this melee is inevitable, but it will not be as intense and crazy as it is now.
"A bunch of idiots!"
