Capítulo 1321: Chapter 1321: Survival in a Desperate Situation
Two hours later.
“Boss, we’ve searched everywhere, but still haven’t found an exit.” Soul Destroyer returned dejectedly, the Hidden Guards behind him also looked exhausted. It wasn’t just physical fatigue, but also psychological despair. When one is in a desperate situation, spirit can falter, sotis even leading to death. On the contrary, if you give a desperate person a glimr of hope, they will seize that opportunity relentlessly. Aphrodite is ruthless in her sches, adept at plotting. I’m afraid… there truly is no other way out here.
“Alright, you’re all tired, take a rest for a while.” Everyone sat on the ground, looking at one another, so complaining, others cursing, and so… even crying. It seems they are afraid of dying too. Indeed, no one wants to stop surviving.
But heaven does not have rcy on everyone, not everyone is given the chance to survive. Ye Shikai had faced dire monts many tis, each ti thinking it would be the end, yet each ti, he managed to turn misfortune into fortune. Perhaps this is fate, not wanting him to die so soon.
However, this ti, he might truly et his end, yet this ti he’s not panicked, nor is he afraid. With Ji Qian by his side, with both of them here, he felt settled.
“Emily, you seem quite agitated.” Ye Shikai turned his head and saw Emily not far away, frantically pulling at the leaves on the branches.
“You dare say that.” Emily flared up, already irritated, and upon hearing this, it was like a volcano suddenly erupted. Especially when these words ca from Ye Shikai; she had co to this predicant entirely because of him.
In the heat of the mont, Emily suddenly grabbed a bow, drew the string, and aid at Ye Shikai.
“Protect the master.” Nightmare swiftly stood before Ye Shikai, and Emily suddenly revealed a mocking smile, lowering her bow.
“You subordinates, you’ve all died because of him, yet even at death’s door, you protect him so fiercely.” Emily muttered.
Speaking of it, having such loyal brothers and sisters is indeed one of Ye Shikai’s life’s greatest gains. There are two things in the world that cannot be directly observed: one is the sun, and the other is the human heart. Never casually test the human heart; it is the most unreliable thing under heaven. Yet looking at these people, they are companions that would risk life and death together.
“Emily, this ti it’s my fault for dragging you into this. I’m truly sorry. How about this, if we can get out, I’ll unconditionally agree to one condition of yours.” Ye Shikai raised his index finger and said.
“Ha, we’re already trapped to death here. That promise is worthless, and I’m not interested.”
“Those are your own words.”
“I scoff, truly shaless. If you have the ability, open this passage again…”
Boom.
Before Emily finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the distant passage, startling her into retreating a few steps.
Due to the sudden occurrence, everyone was unprepared. Dust rising, those nearby couldn’t dodge, quickly shutting their eyes to avoid dust entering them.
A few minutes later, when everyone opened their eyes again and saw the scene before them, they couldn’t help but scream in excitent.
“Your mouth must be blessed.” Ye Shikai used to pat Emily on the shoulder, almost lifting her in joy, while Emily’s mouth was ford into an “O” shape in astonishnt. The exit previously blocked by rocks had beco clear again, seemingly reopened by so explosion.
Everyone sward towards the exit, like people long trapped in darkness finally seeing a ray of sunlight.
“Cough cough.” anwhile, a woman slowly walked in from outside.
“You indeed are here.” The woman scanned the people from the Three Temples, her gaze finally settling on Ye Shikai.
“Athena.”
“Athena, how can it be her.”
Everyone seed surprised at Athena’s appearance, except Ye Shikai, who suddenly realized. Only Athena could save them from the Holy Mountain, but Ye Shikai was very curious about how she managed it.
“Athena, are you injured?” People went up, and Ye Shikai sharply noticed that her left arm was bleeding, and the armor on her arm was damaged, sowhat tarnishing the Valkyrie’s majestic look.
“When ascending the mountain earlier, I was attacked by an unknown group.” Athena nodded, Valkyries often operate alone, dubbed the underworld’s “lone ranger,” so ambushing her isn’t difficult. But since Athena’s combat strength is extrely high, not many dare attempt it.
“That group was arranged by Aphrodite. She’s worried that upon your arrival at the Main God altar, you’d disrupt her plan.” Ye Shikai explained the recent events, flas of anger flickering in Athena’s eyes.
“I see, that venomous woman.” Athena swore softly. She had suspected it might be her handiwork but didn’t expect her to intend to trap the Three Temples to die here. Quite malicious indeed.
“So how did you get up here?” Ji Qian asked curiously.
“When ascending, I found the road already destroyed, so I diverted to another path. Upon arriving here, I found the previous passage obstructed by rocks, so I imagined what had happened here.”
“How did you open it earlier, unless… you brought explosives?”
“No, I discovered an unexploded explosive in the rock pile, so I used my Inner Strength to remotely strike the fuse, unexpectedly reopening the passage.” Athena’s words surprised everyone; how co there was leftover explosives in the rock pile?
“I think it’s Aphrodite’s mistake. Her remote control has two buttons, presumably planting two batches of explosives in advance planning to detonate together, but for so reason, one batch didn’t successfully detonate, so it remained.” Ye Shikai analyzed, and everyone seed to agree. No wonder only one side exploded earlier. But thinking about it, even just one side exploding was enough to block the passage. If both sides exploded simultaneously, wouldn’t it truly be a dead end?
“The Holy Mountain’s environnt greatly affects signals, phone calls are impossible. I believe that’s the reason.” Athena nodded in agreent.
“Hades, you just said if we get out, you’d agree to a condition of mine.” At this mont, Emily stood up, addressing everyone, her face full of a triumphant smile, truly changing sides with lightning speed…
“I did say that, but didn’t you say you weren’t interested?”
