Chapter 49

Tang Tian carefully made his way through the rows of faceless terracotta warriors. These terracotta warriors looked very ancient, with the passage of time leaving indelible marks on them. Many of the warriors had developed mottled cracks, and many were covered in dust. They seemed to have come from a distant era, mysterious and weathered.

What place is this?

Who made these faceless terracotta warriors?

Crack!

Suddenly, a breaking sound came, startling Tang Tian, who quickly looked over. It turned out that one of the terracotta warriors had suddenly shattered into pieces.

This breaking sound seemed to be a signal, and crack after crack, the faceless terracotta warriors began to collapse one by one.

Hundreds of thousands of terracotta warriors all collapsed in front of him, creating a spectacular scene that left Tang Tian speechless. He stared dumbfounded at the unbelievable sight, completely at a loss as to what was happening.

This... this... this...

What kind of place is this...

Dust flew everywhere, blocking out the sky, and Tang Tian covered his mouth, his expression tense. This place was full of eerie vibes, and even a god-like young man found it hard to bear.

Could there be some danger hidden in this dust? Could someone be launching a surprise attack?

Tang Tian was on high alert, looking around.

As the dust gradually settled, Tang Tian, covered in dust, looked around. The ground was littered with terracotta warrior fragments. The once solemn and orderly army had... had instantly turned to dust!

For some reason, Tang Tian suddenly felt a bit sad.

Time truly erases everything...

He looked into the distance with a blank expression, and suddenly, his pupils constricted.

Wait!

There... there is still one terracotta warrior... it hasn't collapsed!

A faceless terracotta warrior stood among the fragments, its straight figure exuding a sense of loneliness.

Without a word, Tang Tian stepped on the broken terracotta pieces and ran towards the remaining warrior.

Panting, Tang Tian rushed to the terracotta warrior. The warrior was no different from the others he had seen earlier, with a blank face, a gray body, and intricately carved armor, holding a long spear, standing solemnly.

Tang Tian tilted his head and examined the terracotta warrior closely. He had a strong feeling that this warrior was very different from the others, but he couldn't pinpoint what was different.

At that moment, suddenly, a crack appeared on the warrior's blank face.

Tang Tian froze. No way... could this last one not escape the fate...

Crack, crack, crack!

The cracks multiplied, and in a moment, a web of cracks covered the entire body of the terracotta warrior.

Stunned, Tang Tian watched as a piece of the warrior fell off.

One piece after another fell from the warrior's body.

Hmm?

Tang Tian suddenly noticed that the places where the pieces fell off revealed a faint luster.

There's something inside!

Tang Tian's spirits suddenly lifted.

Crack, crack, crack!

The pieces fell like rain, and more and more of the inside was exposed, the faint luster catching Tang Tian's eye. Indeed, there was something inside!

When the last piece fell, Tang Tian stared dumbfounded at the terracotta warrior in front of him.

A gray figure with a lustrous appearance stood before him, identical to the terracotta warrior, with a blank face and the same armor, but seemingly more detailed, holding a long spear.

"Y-You... who are you?" Tang Tian asked, dazed.

"Soldier." A wooden, dull voice suddenly came from the gray lustrous terracotta warrior.

Tang Tian's eyes widened, stammering, "Y-You... can actually speak?"

"Yes." The lustrous warrior struggled to say the word.

Tang Tian was speechless, his expression frozen.

I've encountered a monster...

This monster... is so strange...

Tang Tian swallowed hard. Everything that had happened today completely challenged the limits of his imagination. He scratched his head and asked cautiously, "You're not human, right?"

"No." The lustrous warrior seemed to be getting used to speaking.

"Then what are you?" Tang Tian was extremely curious.

"Soul General." The other party said two more words.

"Soul General?" Tang Tian was taken aback. He circled the other party twice, scratching his head and muttering to himself, "So, a Soul General is like this..."

The other party remained silent.

"Ah, so you're called Soldier!" Tang Tian realized, laughing awkwardly.

"Yes." Soldier floated quietly in the air.

"Um, can I ask why... why you don't have a face?" Tang Tian couldn't help but ask.

"A faceless person is a sinner." Soldier's voice was flat and monotonous, and the more words he spoke, the stranger it sounded.

"Sinner..." Tang Tian was taken aback. This question seemed to make Soldier sad... Well, let's change the topic. "Soldier, what is this place?"

"Exile Board." Soldier's voice remained flat.

"How can a stone board float on the sea?" Tang Tian looked puzzled.

"Exile Sea." Soldier continued to say things Tang Tian couldn't understand.

Tang Tian was even more confused. "I was clearly in the Soul Maze, how did I end up here?"

Soldier remained silent.

"Um, Soldier, do you know where the Soul Key is?" Tang Tian asked.

Soldier: "No."

"Alright." Tang Tian decided to ask a practical question: "Then how do I leave here?"

"Terracotta body turns to soul, sins are atoned, stone shatters, sea disappears." Soldier's unchanging voice sounded strangely odd.

"Stone shatters, sea disappears..." Tang Tian muttered to himself.

Crack, crack, crack.

A startling cracking sound came from under his feet. Tang Tian's expression froze, and he looked down at the stone slab beneath him, seeing a shocking crack spreading rapidly in all directions. More and more cracks appeared, and in a moment, the stone slab under his feet was covered with a web of cracks.

Tang Tian's face changed dramatically.

At the same time, the sea level was continuously dropping.

Suddenly, a force grabbed his back, and it was Soldier grabbing Tang Tian, floating in the air.

Crash!

The stone surface beneath his feet crumbled like an avalanche!

The seawater quickly withered and disappeared.

Tang Tian, completely shocked, didn't notice that the South Cross mark on his palm was emitting a faint light.

The scene before him seemed to spin, and countless rays of light formed a bizarre vortex.

When Tang Tian opened his eyes again, he found himself in a cave, with a faintly glowing silver key floating not far in front of him.

Is that the Soul Key?

For some reason, Tang Tian let out a sigh of relief.

It turns out that the bizarre scene earlier was just a dream!

"Is that the Soul Key?" A cold, flat voice suddenly came from behind Tang Tian.

Tang Tian's body stiffened.

After a moment, he turned his stiff neck and looked behind him, where Soldier was floating.

Tang Tian's mouth twitched, his voice dry: "Y-You... how did you follow me here?"

It wasn't a dream...

"There's something strange here." Soldier looked up at the cave and thrust his spear into the wall.

Rumble!

The entire mountain peak trembled, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Tang Tian was dumbfounded.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Crack, crack, crack!

The light barriers on the wall burst like bubbles, one after another.

Mr. Wu stared in shock at the wall, which had become invisible in a blink. After a moment, he reacted, screaming, "Impossible! Who? How could anyone break through the disguise I set up with three bronze treasures? This is impossible! How could there be such a powerful expert here?"

Di Han's face was pale. He knew very well the cost Mr. Wu had paid for this setup.

With the Soul Maze as the core, he had spent three bronze treasures, layering defenses and creating various illusions and traps.

Who could be so powerful as to directly break through such a meticulously set trap?

A bone-chilling coldness shot up from Di Han's feet, and he turned to run without hesitation.

"No! My silver bloodline..." Mr. Wu's hysterical scream echoed behind him, but Di Han didn't stop, only running faster. He could feel several powerful auras rapidly approaching.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tang Tian stared at Soldier, dumbfounded.

This guy...

"I'm going to sleep." Soldier said, and his figure turned into a stream of light, merging into Tang Tian's palm.

Tang Tian was startled. He spread his palm, and the South Cross mark was glowing.

The South Cross...

Could it be...

Rumble, rumble. Large chunks of rock kept falling from the cave ceiling. Tang Tian quickly recovered from his shock, his face changing. The color of the cave walls subtly changed, revealing a stone passage large enough for a person to pass through.

At that moment, Tang Tian suddenly heard a cold voice.

"Ameri, do you only know how to run? Weren't you acting so well? I'm going to make sure you have no place to bury your body today!"

Tang Tian's face changed. Damn! He immediately recognized the voice as Zhou Peng's!

Without a word, Tang Tian ran towards the stone passage.

A fierce killing intent flashed in Tang Tian's eyes!

He didn't notice that the speed of the Second Crane's movement was subtly increasing.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The cave hall was connected to numerous stone passages. Many people were now pouring out of the cave, their faces full of fear. Is the Soul Maze going to collapse? In a moment, the hall was filled with people.

Suddenly, a large figure emerged, looking disheveled.

"Ameri, today is your day of death!" A cold and resentful voice rang out.

A gray figure suddenly appeared beside Ameri, the gun like a venomous dragon, pointing directly at Ameri.

Ameri barely managed to block with his knife, and with a bang, he was thrown flying as if hit by a heavy hammer!

Soul Gun!

Zhou Peng!

Sure enough, Zhou Peng's figure appeared in front of everyone.

The momentum of the Soul Gun was extremely fierce, with fourth-stage strength and master-level gun skills, making Ameri, who was already covered in injuries, only able to defend.

"Zhou Peng, enough!" A person stepped forward, it was Liang Qiu, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Heh, the leader of the fierce beasts?" Zhou Peng sneered, "So what? Go, kill him!"

The Soul General's figure suddenly disappeared, reappearing in front of Liang Qiu. The gun tip's afterimage vanished from Liang Qiu's vision, so fast! Liang Qiu's pupils constricted, unable to react in time, and a pain shot through his shoulder, a gush of blood spurting out!

Everyone watched this scene in shock, how... how...

Liang Qiu was injured in one move...

"Ha ha ha! Leader Liang, you're nothing more than this!" Zhou Peng laughed maniacally, his eyes filled with violence.

"Indeed, a Soul General card personally made
