The calling, like a demonic sound, poured into Zhang Yuanqing's ears, causing him to instinctively feel worry and anxiety, as if the person trapped inside was a beloved family member, friend, or brother.

The Yin corpse standing in front of the glass wall instinctively stepped forward, raising its fist in an attacking stance!

The fist raised in the air suddenly paused, and Zhang Yuanqing regained his clarity, exclaiming, "That's something! It can even affect me!"

He was a Level 6 peak Illusionist, a Night Watcher skilled at controlling emotions. With a powerful spirit and mastery of illusion, this dual-class combination almost fell prey to the zombie's trick.

"You were hypnotized," Yin Yaojun inferred Yuan Shi Tianzun's encounter from his actions!

Zhang Yuanqing nodded. "The thing inside is a bit sinister; I was almost affected by it!"

As for the other party accurately saying "Yuan Shi Tianzun," mental spells are often based on one's own mind. Not to mention Yuan Shi Tianzun, it was possible that he would have heard Zhang Yuanqing!

From another perspective, hearing Yuan Shi Tianzun instead of Zhang Yuanqing indicated that the zombie could not affect the depths of his mind!

Yin Yaojun nodded, propping her chin with the small horn, "A bit dangerous; I suggest not provoking it for now!"

No need to tell me, Zhang Yuanqing manipulated the Yin corpse to continue moving forward!

After initially figuring out the state of the cultural relics, the two did not touch them and quickened their pace. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they finally saw a staircase ahead!

"So smooth?" Zhang Yuanqing stopped far away and manipulated the Yin corpse to continue forward!

The advantage of the Night Watcher was fully demonstrated at this moment. Yuan Shi Tianzun never lacked cannon fodder to step on mines.

The Yin corpse strode forward, gradually approaching the staircase.

As it approached twenty meters, Zhang Yuanqing, sharing the Yin corpse's vision, narrowed his pupils. He saw two corpses lying on the staircase, their heads and chests blasted into a bloody mess, splattered all over the ground. Only their waists and below remained intact!

Two Level 6 Saints had died at the staircase. The blood was half-coagulated, indicating they had died less than half an hour ago. "There's danger at the staircase; it's indeed not that simple," he thought.

Suddenly, his eyes went black, and he lost his vision!

The next second, his consciousness returned to his body. Thirty meters away, the Yin corpse fell to the ground, its head and chest blasted to smithereens, its waist and below intact, exactly like the two corpses!

Zhang Yuanqing and Yin Yaojun simultaneously looked up at the sky!

Half of his consciousness was in the Yin corpse, and half was in his main body. Just now, he and Yin Yaojun clearly saw a streak of bloody light descending from the sky and killing the Yin corpse!

They saw a golden-horned elk fifty meters above, treading on air, high above, carrying a woman on its back wearing simple hunting clothes and a crown woven of thorns!

She held a golden bow in her hand and carried two quivers on her back, one filled with golden arrows and the other with blood-colored arrows!

The woman and the golden-horned elk beneath her presented a gray-white texture, as if they were sculptures given life! No, they were sculptures!

As Zhang Yuanqing and Yin Yaojun scrutinized her, the female sculpture also turned her head, her bloodless face and a pair of eyes pale and empty, revealing a cold and stiff gaze.

The female sculpture merely glanced at them before retracting her gaze, sitting stiffly on the elk's back, motionless!

Zhang Yuanqing and Yin Yaojun silently retreated. The former said, "The red light I saw in the astrology should be the arrow she shot! I knew it wouldn't be so simple to get to the staircase."

Yin Yaojun suggested, "Charging through is impossible unless a Ruler-level helps us push through! But if it's really Ruler-level, wouldn't we be delivering food? As long as it's rule-based, it's enough to give us a headache!"

Zhang Yuanqing smiled, "We're in a Killing Instance, not a Fire Master Instance. If we can use our brains, we should never prioritize brute force. Let me deduce first!"

He took out the Luo Xing compass, lit the stars on the surface of the compass, and began to deduce. It took a full quarter of an hour before he opened his eyes, his expression much more solemn than before!

In the astrological deduction, Star Escape could not pass through the staircase, the electromagnetic defense of the Thunder God Set could not defend against the arrow, and the Night Watcher could not hide from the female sculpture in the sky!

Astral Projection would also be killed by an arrow!

Based on the attack power shown by the female sculpture, he didn't know if Huang Taiji could defend against it, but Zhang Yuanqing himself definitely couldn't withstand it unless he used the ZI Jin Set, but the Ruler-level props and materials were sealed by The Way of the Extraordinary!

The attack power of the female sculpture was indeed Ruler-level, and there was also an Instance mechanism to cooperate, eliminating escape techniques!

"Brute force is impossible, and escape techniques are ineffective." Yin Yaojun frowned, considering how likely she and Yuan Shi Tianzun would be to kill the sculpture if they joined forces!

Although the sculpture's attack power was at the Ruler level, as long as its speed and defense were not at the Ruler level, she and Yuan Shi Tianzun had a chance to kill it. Zhang Yuanqing, experienced as he was, instantly understood what she meant. He pointed to a display case and said, "Now I understand the importance of these cultural relics!"

Yin Yaojun, who had at least participated in several Instances with her master, was moved by his words. "You mean these cultural relics can be subdued and used to deal with the guardian statue?"

"Just a guess. Let's try and see!" Zhang Yuanqing got up and led Yin Yaojun away from the staircase, heading west!

Hall No. 3 was very large, with no edges visible on the left or right. There were also individual displays, blocking the view. They walked for a long time without seeing other The Way of the Extraordinary.

They occasionally heard sounds of fighting coming from the distance, but Zhang Yuanqing and Yin Yaojun did not deliberately go to investigate.

After wandering for a while, they locked onto a cultural relic!

This was a rusty, heavily oxidized bronze staff, thirty centimeters long, with simple patterns and barbs carved on the handle, and a goose-egg-sized copper ball at the end!

Name: Bronze Shu

Era: Qin Dynasty

Level: 3

Introduction: A weapon used by military experts during the Warring States period, with extremely strong lethality. Death is certain after three strikes!

Due to its complex craftsmanship, it became a weapon exclusively for the Imperial Guards during the Qin Dynasty. It was lost after the Qin Dynasty collapsed.

After looking around, the cultural relics in the display cases were divided into three levels: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3.

Level 3 was the weakest. Zhang Yuanqing walked to the display case and punched it. With a crash, the tempered glass cover shattered, and debris splashed everywhere.

The seal was broken!

The bronze staff lying quietly in the display case, the copper ball at the end of the staff, suddenly floated into the air and slammed towards Zhang Yuanqing.

Whoosh!

The sound of tearing through the air was very shrill!

Yin Yaojun, holding the horn, said "Oh!" "It's alive! It's a magic weapon with self-awareness!"

Because she didn't sense any resentment from the staff. Zhang Yuanqing tilted his head and instinctively grasped it firmly in his palm!
