Originally, Yang Shung wanted to kill these two devout believers to gain evolution points and experience.
But the situation confused him.
Even though he had been through so much in his previous life, Yang Shung had never encountered something like this before.
"I'm sure it's because of my Judgment power," Yang Shung thought to himself.
The strange temple here was likely connected to his "Eye of Judgment."
This temple hides something!
He thought for a moment and then spoke: "Do you know the way? Lead me."
The two devout believers seemed puzzled by his words...
They clearly didn't understand him.
Yang Shung knew that the monsters in the Land of Abandoned Gods were creatures from other civilizations.
But they had been corrupted, turned into beasts, and had lost their sanity...
These two, however, seemed to retain some rationality.
Just as he was thinking, the two devout believers suddenly became alert.
A ferocity appeared on their rotting faces. They quickly turned and rushed toward the entrance of the hall!
"..."
Yang Shung heard the sounds of chaotic footsteps outside the hall.
It seemed that some other players had arrived.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two devout believers formed green fireballs in their hands and hurled them into the corridor!
"Ahhh!"
"Shit, two Silver BOSSes!"
"We can't deal with one, and now there are two?!"
"Run! Run!"
Green fireballs flew, and the sounds of panic and hurried footsteps filled the hall...
Yang Shung quickly went invisible again.
He moved toward the entrance of the hall and peered into the passage.
The entire corridor was engulfed in green fire. Six players were being burned to ashes without having time to escape...
"Gray Rose?"
Yang Shung recognized one of the players. It was the mature woman who had bought the 'Ice Cone Technique' from him. She had found the temple too...
Sadly, her team wasn't strong enough.
The two Silver BOSSes killed them.
"This passage is too narrow. With those flames, there's no room to dodge."
Yang Shung shook his head.
He watched coldly as six players burned to death.
Soon, six gray-white life orbs appeared in the passage.
Yang Shung immediately moved to collect them, surprised to find over 100 days of tradable life in total.
What surprised him more was that the two devout believers didn't care about the life orbs.
After killing the six players, they returned to the hall and knelt toward the spot where Yang Shung had disappeared...
He ignored them for now.
Yang Shung searched the hall but found no other exits.
"No way. Is that it? Two Silver-level BOSSes?"
Yang Shung was confused.
He looked around but found no other clues.
With no other options, he decided to deal with the two devout believers.
As expected, no matter how he attacked, the two devout believers didn't fight back.
They were simply killed by Yang Shung.
---
[You killed the 'Ancient God Devout Believer·The Judged (Silver Level)'.]
[You gained 4,000 experience points.]
[Congratulations on reaching level 9!]
[You gained 4 evolution points!]
[You gained 188 days of life (tradable).]
---
After killing the two devout believers, Yang Shung reached level 9.
He activated his 'Hand of Greed' on their bodies...
Soon, Yang Shung finished collecting the loot from the two Silver BOSSes.
"A total of 32 evolution points and 1504 days of tradable life."
"Epic Hand of Greed, so cool!"
"Plus, four gold-level items, and a dozen silver-level items..."
Among the loot, there was a gold-level necklace suitable for assassins.
---
[Believer Pendant (Gold): Assassin accessories. Agility +15, cooldown speed +20%. Equipment requirements: Level 8]
[Unique effect: Summon a Silver-level devout believer to fight for you, cooldown 600 seconds.]
---
The necklace had great stats.
The main benefit was the 20% cooldown speed.
After putting it on, Yang Shung noticed his Shadow skill's cooldown decreased from 22.6 seconds to 19.2 seconds!
The poison dart cooldown dropped from 4.3 seconds to 3.7 seconds.
The instant shadow slash cooldown went from 10.4 seconds to 8.8 seconds!
"More efficient monster spawning."
Yang Shung thought.
As for the other loot, most of it was level 8-10 gear, but it wouldn't sell at this stage.
"I'll put it aside for now."
Just as Yang Shung was about to leave, the floor in the center of the hall suddenly shifted.
The mechanism was triggered when the two devout believers died!
"Is this an elevator?"
Yang Shung noticed a round stone plate emerging from the center of the floor. He had seen similar things before in his past life.
He stepped on it.
The stone plate made a loud "boom," and it descended!
A circular pit appeared in the hall...
As the plate lowered him, two semicircular stones moved from the sides and sealed the pit!
Everything returned to normal as if the "elevator" had never existed...
If anyone else came here, they would only see the two dead devout believers and nothing else...
---
Boom!
The stone plate crashed to the ground.
The debris scattered around Yang Shung.
He felt like he had been dropped at least 300-400 meters.
The surroundings were brighter now.
Torches along the stone walls lit up the place.
"This is a maze."
Yang Shung sighed.
He had encountered many such mazes in his previous life, and he knew how to navigate them. However, they still took time to explore fully.
The biggest challenge was...
There were many traps in the maze!
If triggered, they could lead to a dead end.
"Good thing I just got this."
Yang Shung touched the 'Believer Pendant' on his chest.
He used the special effect to summon a Silver-level devout believer!
A gray-skinned humanoid crawled in front of Yang Shung...
"Explore ahead."
Under Yang Shung's command, the devout believer began to crawl forward, leading the way through the maze...
With the devout believer clearing the path, Yang Shung felt much more at ease.
While waiting, Yang Shung opened his skill panel and decided to use the 32 evolution points he just gained to evolve his skills further!
