Chapter 713: Demonic Spiders (1/2)
Nevertheless, Leon did not dwell on the demon's behaviors.
Back in the Divine Realm, even humans can turn into vicious demons and backstab their friends and allies over their scrambles for treasures, let alone treasures that come from a secret realm filled with inheritances.
'Demons aren't the thing to be wary of in a secret realm,' Leon silently mused.
Even so, the odds are against human's favor. If there is any chance of betrayal and backstabbing, it would only happen after the demons are eliminated from the equations.
Over the next half an hour, the demons triggered the trap formations and arrays a few more times, killing more Lesser Demons and Greater Demons.
Despite that, the commotion continued to draw in more demons to become cannon fodders for the three Greater Demons of the Nine Great Clans.
Dead bodies continued to lay askew on the ground, dried like empty husks, as everyone silently observed the demons attempting to solve the tomb's entrance puzzle.
Rumble…!
The ground suddenly shook as their central tree began to twist and grew—No, it was raised from the ground before the tomb entrance was revealed.
”Success!”
Scaly-Tailed Limopith's eyes sparkled as the other demons stared at the entrance with excitement.
”Good work, everyone,” Three-Eyed Balthagan praised their efforts before stating, ”We may have unraveled the entrance, but more trial awaits us ahead.”
”Kekeke, the Abyssal Wood Demon King's trials will surely not be ordinary. I hope you are all prepared,” Red-Horned Rathadas sniggered coldly.
The demons' excitement quickly died down as if their heads were doused in a bucket of cold water.
”Let's go!”
After Three-Eyed Balthagan urged the demons to trailblaze the path ahead, the three Greater Demons of the Nine Great Clans entered the tomb promptly.
Within a few moments, the demons were all gone from sight, leaving only the pile of empty corpses behind outside.
”The demons have entered the tomb! Let's follow them in!” a Battle Master said eagerly.
However, he was quickly stopped by the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman, ”Wait. It's too early. Entering now will expose our presences to the demons and put our lives at risk.”
”The Venerable Shaman is right. If more demons enter after us, we will be pincered by the demons and have nowhere to run,” Chief Baskara suddenly added, causing the others to turn to him with surprised looks.
”Baskara Boya, have you rested enough?” the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman asked.
”Yes, Venerable Shaman,” Chief Baskara nodded and said, ”I feel better now. No more headaches. More importantly, things are about to get interesting by the looks of it.”
As Chief Baskara said that, he shifted his gaze to the tomb's entrance underneath the central tree.
”That's right,” the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman nodded before saying, ”The problem is picking the right timing to enter when the demons are all weakened by the trials.”
”However, we have no means of finding out when the right time will be. After all, we would have to send someone inside to observe the situation without being discovered by the demons if we want to figure that out.”
”True…”
