Chapter 1276

The entire floor of the ancient temple was densely packed with coffins.

Gu Ding scanned through with his Black Pupil. Although he did not count the exact number, there were no less than a million coffins here.

"Could this underground palace not be a ruin at all, but a place used by the battlefield to bury the dead? Otherwise, why would there be so many corpses?! " However, Gu Ding then changed his mind and rejected the idea. "No, this battlefield is clearly a virtual place. Those who die will only be sent back to the real world. How could there be corpses here?!"

Gu Ding did not understand, but it did not take long for him to put these thoughts to the back of his mind.

"Since I'm already here, let's see if there are any treasures and then look for an exit. It's probably impossible to go back the way we came. It would be great if there was an exit on this floor. "

Gu Ding activated his Black Pupil and searched carefully again. He found that there were no other treasures on this floor except for the coffins, and there was no exit. However, there was a high platform in the depths of this floor. It seemed to be blocked by a layer of something, and Black Pupil could not see through it to see what was on the high platform.

Gu Ding made up his mind and walked in the direction of the high platform.

Gu Ding walked very slowly along the way. He was a little worried that the resurrection of the statues would happen to the corpses in the coffins. If that happened, he would really have nowhere to run.

Gu Ding walked carefully all the way, not even reaching out to touch the coffins.

All the coffins were made of the same kind of stone. The coffin lid was a transparent crystal, so Gu Ding could clearly see the scene inside each coffin.

What made Gu Ding feel strange was that these coffins were basically all young people. They looked to be about the same age as Gu Ding. Even if they were older, they were only a few years older. Looking at their appearance, almost none of them were above thirty years old.

Although these coffins blocked most of their auras, Gu Ding could still vaguely sense that these people seemed to be Perfected Lord-Level powerhouses when they were alive.

As Gu Ding went deeper, he observed a lot of coffins nearby and found that most of them had funerary objects in them.

The weapons, armor, and even storage equipment used by these dead people were all intact and placed together with the corpses.

Gu Ding walked halfway through the journey and suddenly found that the aura of the dead people in the coffins in front of him had become stronger.

"The ones buried ahead are all feudal lords!" Gu Ding could not help but exclaim.

Lord-level powerhouses began to become richer. Gu Ding saw many valuable funerary objects along the way.

He even saw bodies piled with Lord-level divine medicine, various rare crystal ores, and some wrapped themselves in various Orderly Chains … Gu Ding was envious of the corpses.

If Gu Ding had not been frightened by the resurrection of the statues, he would have attacked the coffins by now.

Gu Ding endured all the way to the end. He did not know how long it took for him to reach the high platform at the end of the floor.

He finally saw clearly that there were nine corpses on the high platform.

However, these nine corpses were not placed in coffins. Instead, they were placed directly on the high platform, simply placed there.

If it weren't for the fact that there were coffins all over the place, people would have thought that these people had fallen asleep on the stone platform.

Gu Ding did not step onto the platform. He was worried that he would cause another unforeseen event. His body floated up and he looked down at the nine corpses from above the platform.

In an instant, he noticed the difference between the nine corpses.

"These nine people were all True Sage King level super monsters when they were alive!" Gu Ding almost exclaimed.

Gu Ding knew how difficult it was to become a True Sage King. If the Gu Ding Pirate Crew did not have the Fortune Blood Fruit researched by Neptune, it was possible that in the entire Gu Ding Pirate Crew, only Gu Ding and Becca were True Sage Kings. The others would still be stuck at the level of Holy King.

Now, there were nine True Sage King corpses in front of him. This was naturally a shocking thing.

"These nine corpses are the same as the other corpses. There are no wounds on them. Even the weapons and armor buried with them are intact. How did they die?! "Gu Ding could not figure it out.

After some fruitless research, Gu Ding opened his Black Pupil again and found that there was an entrance leading down from the high platform. This entrance had never appeared before.

Gu Ding glanced at the rich funerary objects on the high platform and reached for a storage ring.

Just as he was about to touch it, the owner of the ring suddenly opened her eyes and clawed at Gu Ding's chest.

Gu Ding had already retreated to the entrance below the high platform. What was torn apart by the sharp claw was only an afterimage.

He was prepared to escape to the next level if all the corpses woke up.

However, it seemed that the situation was much better because only one corpse had woken up.

It was a young woman who looked about the same age as Gu Ding. After she woke up, it was impossible to tell that she had come back to life from a corpse. She looked more like she had just taken an afternoon nap and was full of energy. Even her face was a little ruddy. She looked like she was angry at Gu Ding.

"This is not a place you should be in! That ring in your hand isn't something you should be taking! "The woman said.

"You have self-awareness after being resurrected?!" Gu Ding was a little surprised.

"Don't make a fuss. Give me back the ring. It's my funerary object!"

The woman shouted at Gu Ding. She had also noticed that Gu Ding's cultivation was the same as hers, and he was also a True Sage King. Even if they fought, she had just woken up and her body needed time to adapt. Her chances of winning were not high.

"You're already dead. Why do you still want this storage ring? You might as well give it to me. "Gu Ding grinned.

"Why should I?!" The woman asked angrily. "Give it back or I'll teach you a lesson!"

"No, I'm going to the next level. Come after me if you can."

Gu Ding was also worried about this level. If this woman could wake up, it was very likely that the others could as well. This was her territory. If he fought and the other corpses woke up, he would be in trouble.

"Go to the next level? Are you trying to get yourself killed?! "The woman's expression changed slightly when she heard this. "Do you know where this place is?!"

"I don't know, but I need to find an exit now. I can't go up, so I can only go down." Gu Ding shrugged helplessly.

"There's no exit down there. It's a dead end!" The woman's face was stern.

"How about this? You tell me where the exit is, and I'll return your ring to you. Then, I'll go and snatch the others' rings." Gu Ding grinned at her.

"You have two choices. One is to return my ring obediently, and the other is for me to wake the others up and snatch the ring back!" The woman looked at Gu Ding coldly.

"If you want to wake the others up, I'll have to go to the next level! I don't think you'll dare to follow me! "Gu Ding knew that the woman was afraid of going to the next level.

"You have a death wish! Do you really think I'm no match for you?! "The woman was furious and attacked again.
