Chapter - 3253

Edurne asked, "Is there anything else? Please speak quickly. Once you're finished, hide immediately. We mustn't let Zeke discover us. He is cunning and cautious. If he even suspects our presence and realizes that we're lying in wait for him here, he will surely escape. Don't underestimate him. His strength. might not be impressive, but he can run faster than a rabbit."

Zeke felt weary and said, "I believe Zeke is not the focus right now. The utmost priority is to enter this ancient archaeological site."

Edurne chuckled. "Stop joking. You can't just walk into the ancient archaeological site like that."

"Yeah," Tanner added. "We attempted it in the illusion and nearly lost our lives. If even the ancient archaeological site in the illusion is so difficult to access, the real one must be even more challenging."

A look of disappointment crossed Zeke's face. "Alright, it seems I overestimated your ambition and pursuit. Since you're not willing to come in, I won't insist."

"What do you mean?" Edurne looked at Zeke in surprise. "Don't tell me you're planning to enter the ancient archaeological site."

"Why not?"

"Have you lost your mind? Have you forgotten. everything you just experienced in the illusion? Let's not even discuss whether you can enter smoothly. Even if you do get in, are you sure it's full of opportunities and not traps?"

Zeke smiled faintly. "I still want to venture in, even if it's a treacherous place. Otherwise, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

"Even knowing full well it's a death trap, you still want to go in. I really can't fathom what's going on in your head."

Zeke ignored them and strode toward the ancient archaeological site.

"How do you think Lord Wilder became an Eternal Class warrior? How did the human's Heavenly God manage to achieve their unparalleled power? And what about Thorian of Gods? How did he become an unparalleled Demi-Emperor Class warrior? Don't they constantly escape from death, becoming more powerful with each threat they overcome? I, Quinlan, would rather die a glorious death than live a life of mediocrity..." Zeke spoke passionately, stating a series of undeniable truths. His words left Edurne and the rest feeling somewhat embarrassed and unable to defend themselves.

Edurne asked Tanner and the others, "What do you all think—"

Tanner interrupted her directly, "We're going. We must take the risk."

Alta said, "He's right. What kind of man am I if I lack the spirit to strive?"

Cullen said, "We have two choices before us now. The first is to die in mediocrity, achieving nothing. The second is to become an Eternal Class or even Demi-Emperor Class warrior like Thorian. Even a fool knows which one to choose."

Edurne said, "Alright then. Let's do this!"

Her group hurriedly followed in Zeke's footsteps.

Approaching the entrance of the ancient. archaeological site, Zeke once again felt a repelling force emanating from within the gate.

Everything was just as it was in the illusion.

The illusionary realm created by White Reaper was identical to the entrance of the ancient archaeological site in reality. It seemed that White Reaper had also attempted to enter the ancient archaeological site before.

However, the repelling force in reality was not entirely the same as the one in the illusion.

The repelling force in reality, infused with a death aura, was constantly eroding Zeke's consciousness.

Moreover, as they approached the entrance of the site, the repelling force grew stronger, and the corrosive nature of the death aura intensified.

That corrosive force inevitably reminded Zeke of the death spirits on Theos Island.

The death aura emitted by the death spirits there was identical to the death aura before him.

There wouldn't be an abundance of death spirits in the ancient archaeological site, would there? If that's the case, then the ancient archaeological sites are nothing but a massive trap devoid of any opportunity. Unease began to stir in Zeke's heart.

Of course, Zeke wouldn't give up until there was solid evidence proving it was a trap.

After all, if he gave up on that path, he would only be left with a road to death.
