Yiye Zhiqu's vigilance was correct.
No sooner had the two of them run down the stairs than over twenty fully armed soldiers charged into the maze after them.
The man who had previously scurried back to report was conspicuously standing among them.
He was nearly choking on his breath when he saw his own shield stolen by the skeleton soldiers.
The commander leading the team didn't care much about the shield and drew his short flintlock, aiming it forward.
"Fire!"
The two players sprinting through the maze couldn't understand what he was yelling, but they heard a gunshot from behind them, followed by a rapid succession of bangs!
Lead bullets flew wildly in the dark clearing, striking the ancient stone bricks and granite columns, chipping off large pieces of stone and dust!
Luckily, the two sides were already quite far apart.
Moreover, if the two of them weren't skeleton soldiers with inherent "ranged dodge buff," they might have been done for in that volley!
