Chapter 190: The human in the elven territory Part1

Inside the labyrinth:

"Urrrraaa… Eat my sword." A chubby elf ran forward and slashed at an undead snake.

He hated anything resembling a snake and was determined to deal with these disgusting things on his own.

Marvin, surrounded by a group of Saint realm experts was busily handling the undead monsters falling on them from all directions.

They wanted to quickly finish things here and head further inside, towards the main area, from where intense battle sounds and booms erupted.

But unfortunately, they were unable to do so. Not just them but several groups in the labyrinth were busily occupied.

Even if they managed to clear the beast horde and make their way through the maze, somehow they ended up going in circles.

This lasted for quite a while, but suddenly everything seemed to clear up, or rather the spell formation in the labyrinth shook vigorously, becoming weaker and weaker by the second.

It was as if everything was unraveling. 

Undead beasts here and there started collapsing. Thin black mists arose from their bodies and dissipated in the air.

Even the incoming number of undead beasts tremendously reduced.

This was definitely a good thing, but at the same time… it was a bad thing as well.

Because all of this could only imply that the labyrinth treasure was already claimed.

"Young master Marvin, we need to hurry." One of the experts surrounding Marvin urged the fatty.

The elf was so immersed in slashing down the undead snakes left and right, that he had already forgotten the main reason they were here.

Just like Marvin's team, several other teams also wised up and immediately started rushing towards the huge underground cavern.

They could all clearly sense the changes in the underground labyrinth and hastily hurried over to get their hands on whatever remained of the labyrinth treasure.

Except for one or two casualties, every single team of cultivators, though tired and drained, excitedly rushed over to the azure lake.

Since the spell formation was greatly weakened and the undead beast hordes had almost disappeared, this time it didn't take long for the different groups to reach their destination.

However, when they finally arrived at the source of the commotion, their eyes flew wide at the sight of the chaos and destruction that was sprawled in front of them.

Ziiii Ziiii Ziiii Ziiii Ziiii Ziiii

Several robed figures, all at the peak of Saint realm, some even with a foot or two into the Demi-God realm, descended from the ceiling of the enormous cavern and landed next to Xander.

Greed and excitement, mixed in with a tinge of fear shone on their faces, as the various sect elders immediately started assisting Xander.

However, they all couldn't help but throw a nervous side glance at Xander from the corner of their eyes.

Even though the elf was only barely managing the Epic-grade glow worm, he still emanated a staggering amount of strength and power.

They all shuddered at the sight of his unbridled prowess and wondered silently if the man had achieved a breakthrough again.

Would he really be the first one to reach the Deity realm after the Emperor?

No one had any doubt about Xander's capabilities. 

After all, he was a cultivation and alchemy genius, who had quickly risen in the ranks and now held the entire royal family and the royal army in his grasp.

But still, they couldn't help but gape in shock and surprise.

The man was fighting against a supreme Epic-grade beast, fighting toe to toe with it.

Didn't that mean he already wielded a power akin to a Deity realm expert??

Just how much stronger will he get if he actually steps into the Deity realm??

With the arrival of the extra backup, the battle intensified. Several attacks started flying towards the Epic-grade beast, instantly turning the tides of the battle.

"Heaven smiting lightning."

"Blood slash."

"Ice rupture."

"Golden pagoda hammer strike."

Xavier also finally arrived, landing precisely next to his brother. 

The elf immediately crushed several runes, erupting a huge defensive barrier, and smoothly deflecting the multitude of blows from the glow worm.

The worm's big round fluorescent eyes were completely bloodshot.

The pests standing in front of it were absolutely maddening! 

Individually they wouldn't even dare to touch a boil on its head, but thanks to the damned elf, they were bravely hiding behind him and attacking it.

The very sight of this nuisance enraged the worm tremendously. It roared in fury bringing down half of the cavern's ceiling in a single second.

Meanwhile…

After getting better acquainted with the soul weapon in her hands, Tang Yue continued plowing through the undead spiders in the tunnel.

Since she had already experienced a similar situation, the snake cautiously peeked forward with every step she took.

As she headed deeper and deeper into the tunnel, she was on high alert and on the lookout for any mid-grade, high-grade, or even rare-grade undead beast that might suddenly just pop out in front of her.

Unlike before she did not even have the option to run out anymore. 

She had to face the monster in front of her or at least wait it out until help arrives, hoping that the beast wouldn't notice her.

So Tang Yue was proceeding extremely carefully. 

However, after a certain point, the snake's soft footsteps slightly paused. 

Her emerald eyes gleamed brilliantly as she noticed a few undead corpses lying ahead of her.

They were inconspicuously scattered here and there, and she would have definitely missed it if she hadn't paid close attention to her surroundings.

"Was someone here before me?" Tang Yue pondered.

She circled the half-destroyed undead beast bodies in deep contemplation.

If someone was present ahead of here in this so-called 12 layers of hell, then that changed the whole equation.

Who could have even possibly arrived here before her?

Her eyes wandered around to search for some sort of clue as to what happened, but unfortunately, there was only a long, bleak, and dark tunnel ahead of her.
