480: Chapter 480: The Damaged Mural 480: Chapter 480: The Damaged Mural Zeus watched helplessly as the ice shield shattered into pieces.
His pupils constricted; behind the fragments of ice was a cyan hurricane.
Without the protection of the ice shield, the wind’s onslaught arrived in an instant.
It all happened so suddenly that Zeus simply couldn’t react in time and could only watch the hurricane’s approach…
Meanwhile, Wilson was barely clinging to life, his abdomen severely bleeding, with blood gurgling out from his mouth.
The smoke from his rifle’s muzzle gradually dispersed.
“Good thing I still had instant explosives.” Wilson supported himself with his hands and leaned against a stone wall, taking a magazine from his shoulder to reload.
“You’re still not dead?” On the other side, Zeus had clearly been injured after taking Wang Kai’s move.
Glancing over, he saw Wilson aiming a sniper rifle at him, burning with rage and itching to finish him off immediately.
“Protect him!” Nightmare yelled out, pushing forward with his halberds and forcefully holding Zeus back.
“Bang.” Another gunshot rang out, a bullet flying straight for Zeus’s forehead.
A water element shot out a blue light, quickly forming an ice shield in front of Zeus.
“Crack.” To Zeus’s surprise, the bullet penetrated the ice shield.
The thin layer of ice, like glass, was punctured by the bullet.
“Ah.” Zeus cried out, a line of blood marking his handsome face—a graze from the bullet.
“Damn it, that’s an armor-piercing bullet.” Zeus reached out with his left hand, covering the wound on his face in pain.
The instigator of all this was naturally Wilson in the corner; Zeus’s eyes flared with anger.
To him, Wilson was already a dead man.
“God King Technique—Divine Power Soul.” Zeus shouted, swinging the God King Sword.
With this strike, he concentrated the energy of a mysterious stone, and it was a sudden move that caught everyone off guard.
“Bang.” The target of the Sword Qi was Wilson, who was nearby.
The formidable energy directly demolished the stone wall and dust rose; Wilson was engulfed in it.
On the other side of the tomb.
Ye Shikai and Sally were heading towards the city within.
In fact, the maze of corridors in the tomb had a very special arrangement.
Even if a loud noise was made in one place, the sound would echo back and forth among the many paths, making it impossible to tell where it was coming from.
Ye Shikai occasionally heard the screams of people, likely adventurers who had entered the tomb, or more precisely, victims.
“Sally, you said your companions died in the tomb, right?” Ye Shikai suddenly said to Sally.
“Yes, just after we entered the tomb, they were killed by a horde of giant beasts,” Sally replied with a hint of melancholy in her eyes; being the only survivor among her companions obviously did not sit well with her.
“It seems like you are quite familiar with the things inside the tomb,” Ye Shikai continued.
“To avoid accidents, we researched a lot of information about the tomb before, all of which we gathered from the black market,” explained Sally.
Suddenly, she pointed excitedly ahead, “That must be the Atlantis King’s chamber up there.”
“What, just ahead?” Ye Shikai looked curiously ahead as he spoke.
“Yes, hurry and come with me.” Sally grabbed Ye Shikai’s arm and quickly headed forward.
“Swoosh.” Suddenly, an arrow shot from the corner; Sally failed to dodge in time, and the arrow grazed her arm, leaving behind a trail of blood.
“Are you okay?” Ye Shikai immediately stepped forward, took out a first aid kit from the Storage Ring, and bandaged her arm with gauze.
“I’m fine.” Sally nodded, a tinge of flush crossing her face.
“Ah!” Suddenly, a scream echoed from behind them.
Turning around, they saw a man lying on the ground groaning in pain, with a short arrow stuck in his leg.
“Judging by his attire, he should be from the Underworld.” Ye Shikai nodded, the man must have accidentally wandered here and carelessly triggered a trap.
“Let’s keep moving forward, Hades.” Sally stood up and said indifferently to Ye Shikai.
“Oh, okay.” Ye Shikai quickly agreed, glancing back at the man with a flicker of strangeness across his face.
The two arrived in front of the tomb chamber, facing a tall stone door with many patterns and writings on it.
Of course, these were incomprehensible to Ye Shikai.
If Aphrodite were here, she might understand them, but that scheming woman was someone Ye Shikai preferred to keep at a distance.
Any ordinary person would probably get devoured by her to the point where not even bones were left…
But she did one thing right, in terms of researching data, both she and Ji Qian were experts.
This was extremely important for the dangerous activity of tomb exploration.
“This is…” Ye Shikai looked at the “murals.” A group of people gathered around one person, bowing their heads in a subservient manner.
The one standing tall must be the King.
Looking to the side, there was a man lying on a bed with an unnatural complexion.
A group of people knelt before his bed.
Ye Shikai sighed inwardly; the man must be the King, and those beside him must surely be servants.
The next painting still depicted a man sitting on a throne, and at the steps of the throne, there was a man and a little girl, with two rows of guards holding bronze spears arranged around them.
Who they were, and why there was a girl, Ye Shikai was very curious; surely being granted an audience by the sovereign, this girl must also have a special identity.
Ye Shikai continued to look downwards.
Huh, why was the next painting missing?
He observed carefully; it wasn’t that there was no mural here, it looked like it had been scraped off by something, and some areas even had knife marks…
“Hades, are you alright?” At this moment, he felt a tap on his shoulder, and Ye Shikai suddenly snapped back to reality, Sally looking at him with a puzzled face, a flicker of shrinking in her eyes.
“Oh, I’m fine, don’t worry.” Ye Shikai regained his composure and pointed to the writings on the stone wall, “Sally, can you understand these writings?”
“Not really, it seems to say…
something about a King…
looking for a kind of…
medicine.” Sally scratched her head, speaking somewhat awkwardly.
“I don’t know much about ancient texts, I might not understand them all, I’m sorry.” Sally showed an apologetic expression.
“Just try your best to translate, I need to know some things.” Ye Shikai said anxiously.
“The King of Atlantis demanded…
mystical medicine, used for…
prolonging life.” Sally spoke haltingly, “Also ordered…
to create mechanisms, constructing the tomb.”
