Diablo traveled through time and became a necromancer
Chapter 247: Treasure Chest in the Mysterious Sanctuary
Although the cobblestone road seemed to stretch endlessly as far as the eye could see, there was a strange mist in the air, making everything hazy and elusive.
Even if a monster lurks ahead, only once you get closer can you vaguely detect its ominous presence. This ambiguity and concealment, like the fog of war, makes it difficult to accurately judge the enemy's position. Every step is filled with uncertainty and danger, as if you could fall into a deadly trap at any moment.
"Master, this road... has no end?" There was a barely perceptible tremor in Haley's voice, which was caused by the deep fear of the unknown.
She gripped her staff tightly, her gaze firm, but the uneasiness in her eyes was like an undercurrent beneath the surface, difficult to conceal. This was the first time she had experienced this strange feeling of being both clear and vague, as if everything was shrouded in an indescribable boundary, making her feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
However, since she had chosen to follow Wu Ye on this unknown journey, she could only force herself to face it calmly. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in her heart and make herself more focused on the road ahead.
Wu Ye turned to look at Hailey, a hint of tenderness and encouragement flashing in his eyes.
He knew very well that this seemingly strong girl was actually full of anxiety and fear in her heart, but her courage and determination made him feel deeply comforted.
He patted Haley's shoulder gently to comfort and encourage her.
"This is no longer the world we were in before, Hayley. I'm sure you can sense it from the previous portal. This is an independently carved-out space, a mysterious sanctuary created by Horacen. And here, it's filled with a magical aura. It's very likely that magic similar to the one that blocks cognition is at work. So, we must be careful and don't fall in, otherwise we may never get out."
Haley felt even more frightened when she heard this.
She looked around and saw only the stone path stretching forward until it disappeared into a hazy mist. Beneath the stone slabs was an endless void, as if one would fall into a bottomless abyss if not careful.
What secrets and dangers lay hidden on those seemingly solid stone slabs? She shuddered, but then pulled herself together.
With Wu Ye by her side, she seemed to have found a solid support. The inexplicable sense of intimacy allowed her to find a trace of comfort and courage in the midst of fear, just like an elder.
The two continued on their way. Although there was nothing on either side of the cobblestone road, Hailey felt as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them from the shadows. Those invisible gazes were like cold swords, piercing the fog and striking her heart.
She stayed close to Wu Ye, fearing that she would fall into some unknown trap if she wasn't careful. Wu Ye, on the other hand, remained highly alert, always ready to deal with any possible enemy.
His eyes were as sharp as torches, piercing through the fog, trying to catch any suspicious movement.
In this way, the two of them walked carefully on the cobblestone road, one in front and one behind.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally reached the end of the seemingly endless cobblestone road. However, what greeted them was a fork in the road. The two roads on the left and right were identical, seemingly leading to the same unknown destination.
The two stood at the fork in the road, looking at the identical roads on both sides, feeling somewhat lost. They stared at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and uneasiness.
"Left or right?" Hailey asked softly, a hint of uncertainty in her voice. She looked at Wu Ye, hoping he could give a clear answer.
Wu Ye was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "When we chose this road before, we went to the left. This time, why don't we go to the right?"
Haley nodded in agreement. After all, no one knew which was the right way. Only by walking on it could one know.
Wu Ye left marks under his feet to make it easier to record the places he passed by.
The two walked towards the right direction they had decided on, but just as mentioned before, the front was still foggy, but the difference was that there were more stone platforms on both sides, which aroused people's curiosity.
The road beneath their feet finally came to an end, where two shimmering portals stood, like two mysterious eyes, silently gazing upon them. They emitted a faint blue light, seemingly telling an unknown story. Wu Ye and Hai Li exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with uneasiness and anticipation.
"Which door should we go through?" Haley asked again, with a hint of hesitation in her voice.
Wu Ye looked at the portal on the left, then at the portal on the right, his brows furrowed.
He took a deep breath, then slowly said, "Let's go to the left. Since there are no clear clues, let's take a gamble."
Haili nodded. Although she felt a little uneasy, she followed Wu Ye into the portal on the left. A strong sense of dizziness hit her. When their vision cleared again, they had arrived at a huge stone platform.
The platform is about twenty meters long and wide. In the center of the platform, a treasure chest lies quietly, emitting an alluring light.
A hint of surprise flashed in Haley's eyes, and she walked quickly forward, wanting to open the treasure chest.
But Wu Ye stopped her. He looked at the treasure chest carefully with a frown.
"This treasure chest looks a little unusual. We have to be careful."
Haley couldn't help but feel nervous when she heard this.
She looked at Wu Ye, waiting for his decision.
Wu Ye took a deep breath and said slowly: "Let's try it, but we have to be careful." As he said that, he walked to the treasure chest and gently touched the lid of the treasure chest.
At this moment, the treasure chest suddenly emitted a strong red light, and then a powerful energy wave surged out of the treasure chest. Hailey screamed and quickly stepped back.
Wu Ye also felt that this energy was extraordinary, so he immediately distanced himself and summoned all the skeletons to stand in front of him.
However, at this moment, the lid of the treasure chest suddenly opened, and a huge portal emerged from the treasure chest.
Immediately afterwards, a goat-headed demon, over three meters tall, clad in dark golden armor and wielding a massive scythe, slowly emerged from the portal. Its eyes blazed like flames, flashing with bloodthirstiness. A powerful evil aura emanated from it, as if capable of devouring all life.

"Wow, this really lives up to its name. If you're not greedy, you won't see this demon. Could this treasure chest be just for storing this monster?"
Wu Ye looked at the guy in front of him. Although he didn't seem very powerful, at least he couldn't defeat him alone. He still needed the help of the skeletons.
The skeleton guy next to him took out his greatsword and was ready to go, but this time without the assistance of the high priest, he might be much slower.
