2040 Let Me Pinch You. Are You Real? (3)

The group stepped outside the main hall, finally feeling relieved. The tension inside had been so high that they were on the verge of breaking into a sweat.

What was that...? Dong Lei asked hesitantly.

Who knows? Wang Teng shook his head.

Why did the sky suddenly turn dark? They all turned their gaze towards the sky, perplexed.

There was a patch of sky on top of the buildings. The previously bright sky was now gradually turning dark.

But, the speed at which it darkened wasnt like a normal transition into night.

Even Wang Teng couldnt discern the mechanism governing day and night in this place.

Within moments, the entire sky had turned pitch black, and even the heaven-stage martial warriors felt as if they were plunged into utter darkness.

Evil!

The darkness in this place was so complete that it was impossible to see anything at all.

The group wore uneasy expressions on their faces. They had already been on edge after hearing the mysterious footsteps, and now, with the sudden onset of darkness, their anxiety had only intensified.

Tap, tap, tap...

Suddenly, that eerie sound of footsteps returned, this time even more intense, coming from a distance.

The groups hair stood on end, their skulls felt like they were about to split open. They were on the verge of screaming.

Especially for Dong Lei, she had already opened her mouth, and Wang Teng quickly covered it to silence her.

A lady was still a lady. It seemed that even though she was a heaven-stage martial warrior, her composure was still somewhat lacking.

Dong Lei appeared to realize that she had acted a bit hysterically. Her body involuntarily twitched and she gave Wang Teng a somewhat surprised look.

Dont make a sound! Wang Teng said using voice transmission.

Dong Lei nodded, and he released his hand. This womans body was rather soft.

Cough, cough.

Wang Teng didnt dwell on it further. He understood that this was not the time for such thoughts. He immediately peered into the darkness in the distance. At this moment, the surrounding palaces were nothing more than black silhouettes, resembling monstrous creatures lurking in the dark.

The mysterious footsteps seemed to emanate from an unknown source, and they couldnt pinpoint their location.

Lets hide for now! Wang Teng led the group back into the same grand hall they had explored earlier. They positioned themselves behind the door, gazing outside.

This grand hall was situated adjacent to a main corridor, and once they adapted to the darkness, they could still discern some shapes.

However, they had to be close to see anything clearly.

Only Wang Teng possessed a special eye technique that allowed him to see slightly further.

Tap, tap, tap...

The footsteps drew nearer, and dark figures appeared at the corner of the main corridor, approaching from a distance.

Wang Tengs pupils contracted, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

No!

He felt like he was truly seeing ghosts!

Those dark figures were individuals in tattered armor, exuding an aura of decay and showing no signs of life!

These were not members of the Snake Race, but human-like creatures with legs!

Although Wan Dong and the others couldnt see them, they heard the approaching footsteps, and they were equally nervous. Their palms turned sweaty.

Dont make a sound! Wang Teng reminded them once more. He felt nervous too.

Soon, Wang Tengs companions also saw the dark figures approaching in the distance, and their expressions changed drastically, their hearts filled with horror.

Fortunately, Wang Tengs timely reminder prevented them from crying out in fear.

Dong Lei clamped her hand tightly over her mouth, her eyes trembling.

What is this? Wan Dong asked through voice transmission, his voice trembling.

It seems to be the bodies of martial warriors, Wang Teng uttered in a deep voice.

He considered many possibilities, and it made sense why they couldnt see a single corpse. It appeared that these corpses could still move, which was beyond belief.

How can corpses move? Dong Lei asked.

Ever heard of the dark apparitions? One could get killed but remained controlled, Wang Teng replied irritably.

But we havent sensed any Dark Force. Wan Dong furrowed his brows.

Im just giving you a random example. Maybe its something similar. In any case, theres nothing to be afraid of. Wang Teng rolled his eyes. Why was he taking things so seriously?

He was a bit scared too, but now wasnt the time to show it. If they all got scared, they wouldnt be able to continue exploring.

Could it be the same kind of shadow as before? Those shadows could control the living. Maybe they can control the dead as well, Gikdor speculated.

Thats a possibility, Wang Teng nodded. He had thought of that as well, but without close contact, they couldnt determine if these armored corpses had a shadow within them.

Tap, tap, tap...

Those lifeless corpses in tattered armor walked past the hiding place of the group and disappeared into the darkness.

The group breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to Wang Tengs timely reminder, they had all concealed their presence and hadnt been detected.

Lets go. Avoid those armored corpses and lets continue exploring for treasure. After were done, well leave immediately. This place gives me the creeps, Wang Teng said.

Everyone was speechless.

Despite the situation, Wang Tengs determination to find treasure remained undeterred. He was indeed bold.

Wang Teng waved his hand and swiftly crossed the main avenue and entered the opposite hall.

Wow! Another statue! Wang Teng exclaimed in surprise and proceeded to collect it without much thought. He continued to investigate the objects inside the temple, including items on a nearby table and even the valuable Soul Congregating Incense incense. Nothing was spared.

Next on the list, the third hall!

There were no statues in this hall and it seemed more like a living space with various daily items inside. Wang Teng didnt find these items appealing and told Wan Dong and the others to pick whatever they wanted.

Wan Dong and the others were speechless.

What would they possibly need from this hall?

This grand hall seemed to be a place where women lived, with several items related to womens use. Would they have any use for these items?

Meanwhile, both Dong Lei and the queen seemed quite enthusiastic, finding some antique artifacts that piqued their interest.
