The bandits slowly moved forward. Before long, they saw the backs of Alex and the others.
"There they are!!"
One of the bandits pointed at Alex's group of people and shouted.
Alex and the others' attention was attracted by this shout. They suddenly turned around and found over thirty ferocious-looking guys standing behind them. Then they discovered that there were four Spirit Origin Stage martial warriors among them. They couldn't even see through the cultivation base of one of the bandits. They could even faintly sense a trace of an oppressive aura coming from his body.
It could only mean that this person is either stronger than any Spirit Origin Stage martial warrior or has some sort of treasure to conceal his cultivation base.
"How come there are others here. Aren't we the only group of people here?"
Ivaan and the others had ugly expressions on their faces when they looked at the bandits. Looking at the bandits' oppressing aura and ferocious look, they understood that these bandits are not friendly and will definitely attack them.
"What should we do?"
"They are more in numbers and they have more Spirit Origin Stage martial warriors in their group. Not to mention, there is also that leader whose cultivation base can't be seen through by us."
Ivaan's group started talking. Alex and one person were already walking on the stairs. The eight people below looked at each other and decided something.
"Let's go up!"
The eight of them reacted quickly and started climbing the stairs fastly.
"How dare you escape!" One of the bandits shouted and just as he wanted to chase after them, he was stopped by the Bandits' Leader who sneered and said, "Don't chase. We should carefully walk forward. This is the Earth King's Temple. According to the legends, Earth King left behind his legacy before he died. Since his legacy is left in Earth King's Temple, there are bound to be dangers. We should be careful and not distract our attention."
"As for those people who are running like dogs, they might fall into a trap and die. At that time, we'll not have to do anything to kill them."
"Leader is wise!" x 10+.
What the bandit leader didn't know was that they were supposed to be the test of the third stage. They should be the ones trying to wipe out the group of people in front of them.
But now, the Bandits started thinking of obtaining the legacy left behind by the Earth King instead of doing what they were told to do by the 'God'.
.....
Alex saw a huge bronze door in front of him when he was about to reach the top of the stairs. At this time, he suddenly felt eight auras approaching from behind. He turned his head and saw Ivaan and the other seven people rushing towards him and the person beside him with serious expressions on their faces.
"Quickly open the door! There are people behind us. They don't look friendly and are very powerful and ferocious!"
Seeing Alex and the person beside him, one of the people shouted at Alex in a hurried voice.
When Alex heard him, he frowned slightly. He then looked at the distance. As expected, he saw bandit leaders standing and chatting seriously. Then he saw them start moving towards the stairs.
The person beside Alex revealed a trace of shock on his face and hastened his footsteps.
Because, even Ivaan and the others wanted to run, this meant that the incomers must be very powerful!
Alex also fastened his speed.
A few seconds later, they arrived in front of the bronze door. Up until this point, they didn't say a single trap that could kill them. This made Alex and others' puzzled.
What is the test for the Third Stage on the Second Floor?
Well, there were no answers for the time being. They shifted their attention to the door in front of them and started thinking.
How should they open this door?
Very soon, others also climbed to the top of the stairs and arrived in front of the door. They looked at the huge bronze door with a hint of anxiety in their eyes.
Aaban seems to be impatient. He shouted in a low voice, but in the current situation, his suggestion was the right one. So, everyone attacked the door together. They attacked the bronze door, but the bronze door easily absorbed their attacks. There wasn't even a dent on the door. Alex saw this scene and a trace of astonishment flashed across his eyes. The material of this door was probably comparable to the material that was used to create the Heavy Earth Sword?
If the door was made this strong, what could be inside?
Thinking of this, Alex's eyes became fiery.
Ivaan looked at the bronze door and a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes. After that, he turned around and looked at the bandits who were also climbing the stairs but their speed of climbing was much slower than theirs for some reason.
It looked as if these bandits had already thought that Alex and his group won't be able to escape from their clutches. So they were very relaxed.
However, at the same time, they saw vigilance in the Bandits' eyes.
After some time, the bandits were also about to reach the top of the stairs. He could see others busy trying to break the door in the front, only to fail every time.
"Hahaha! Where can you escape now?"
When Bandit Leader and the others saw this, they let out a complacent laugh. After that, Bandit Leader's eyes stopped on the bronze door for a breath of time. A trace of ecstasy flashed across his eyes. There was a similar pattern on the bronze door that he had seen outside. Through this pattern, he again confirmed that this place was really Earth King's Temple, and the place behind that door should be the land where Earth King left his legacy behind.
When he thought about the legends of Earth King he had heard in his previous life, Bandt Leader's blood started boiling.
In his previous life, he also wanted to obtain the legacy of Earth King. Unfortunately, they were killed before they could even enter the Earth King's Ancient Land.
Now that he thought about it, he suddenly remembered that when he was killed, he felt his soul being sucked away somewhere.
Why was that?
"Four Spirit Origin Stage martial warriors!"
When Alex and the person beside him saw heard the bandits, an ugly expression appeared on everyone's faces.
"May I ask who you guys are and what you all want from us?"
Aayan stepped forward, revealed a smile, and cupped his hands towards Bandit Leader before asking in neither an overbearing nor humble tone.
"You don't need to know who we are, just know that we are here for your lives."
Bandit Leader laughed and sneered.
Aayan's expression turned slightly awkward. Even an Origin Sea Stage martial warrior has to suck up to him when he was in the Heavenly Gate. But here, he had no choice but to accept the ridicule of the other party.
"Listen to us first. This bronze door is extremely strong. If you killed us, you might not be able to open this bronze door with just your group's strength. Why don't we join forces and attack the bronze door? This will be beneficial to everyone."
It was Ivaan who came forward and tried to perplex the thoughts of the Bandit Leader as well as all the bandits present.
Knowing Ivaan's intention, Aaban also nodded his head and glanced at the bandits. Then he smiled and said, "Although the three of us are only Level 9 Spirit Origin Stage martial warriors, it doesn't mean we are weaker than you guys. I don't see any weapon or spatial ring on your hands. Something must have happened to you guys before. Why don't we join forces and it'll be us who'll provide weapons to you guys, what do you think?"
"Dream on!"
The Bandit's Leader sneered coldly. Although he knew he and his companions doesn't have weapons in their hands, it doesn't mean they are soft grass to cut. Bandit Leader believed with his and his companions' years of experience in fighting, Alex's group will not be able to hold on for long, and will definitely be killed by him.
The Bandit's leader didn't think too much and directly attacked Aaban and the other two Spirit Origin Stage martial warriors first. After all, these two were the most powerful ones in Alex's group.
His attack was so powerful that everyone could feel the surrounding air turmoil violently. In an instant, Bandit Leader appeared in front of Aaban. He was going to hit his head without showing any mercy. His speed was very fast, so fast that Aaban could no longer dodge. Aaban could only watch helplessly as Bandit Leader's fist was about to land on his head. A hint of despair appeared on his face.
