Chapter 308: Again And Again
The downward pa.s.sage was very deep and dark, like a bottomless pit that devoured all living beings. It was pitch-black and deep.
Lin Bai had stretched out his hands and feet a few times to slow down the speed of his descent. Otherwise, with the depth of the downward pa.s.sage, if he continued to fall, he might not die, but he might get injured.
“F * ck, this hole is too deep, isn’t it too dark?!”
The Skinny Man’s voice came from far above, and there were a few echoes.
“You must be careful. Remember to slow down after a while. Otherwise, with your cultivation, you might get into trouble if you fall!”
Bai Xi warned the skinny man. She used the same method as Lin Bai.
However, even if she did that, Bai Xi’s heart still felt a little cold.
Who would have nothing better to do and build such a deep hole in the City Lord’s Estate? Who would have nothing better to do in the capital?
If there really was a secret, why not just leave it outside the city and find a remote mountain that only he knew about?
Also… what exactly was it that needed to be hidden like this?
Numerous doubts surfaced in Bai Xi’s heart, and this caused his already cold heart to gradually become a little apprehensive.
“Go, go, go. With my cultivation level, would something happen if I fell? You’re looking down on me too much. Bai Xi, I haven’t shown you my true strength yet. Don’t think that you’ve seen through my strength!”
However, in the next second, the thin man’s words caused the discomfort in Bai Xi’s heart to dissipate. Instead, she felt like laughing.
In the past few days, Bai Xi and the thin man’s relations.h.i.+p had become better and better after they had escaped death and gone through thick and thin together. There were often such bickering scenes.
“We’re almost at the end. Be careful, both of you!”
Lin Bai heard the conversation coming from above. The two of them exchanged insults and reminded each other.
After Bai Xi and the thin man heard this, they both became vigilant. Their gazes were fixed on the area below. Even though their vision was dim and it was difficult to see clearly, they still did not dare to be the slightest bit careless.
Who knew if there were any traps in this lousy place that wanted to kill the people who sneaked in? In addition to the darkness, the effects of the traps could be maximized.
“Why don’t I go down and scout the path first? I’m good at stealth, so I have quick reflexes.”
The thin man volunteered. He believed that if anything happened to him, as long as he didn’t die, Bai Xi and Lin Bai wouldn’t leave him here.
“No, it’s best to be cautious at a time like this. We can’t be careless!”
Lin Bai shook his head and rejected the thin man’s kindness.
He had his own reasons for doing so. If he jumped down rashly and something happened to him, it would not be as simple as being seriously injured. He would definitely die here.
“Little Red!”
Lin Bai called out Little Red. The moment Little Red appeared, the originally dim tunnel was lit up, but it made people feel extremely hot and dry.
This was also the reason why Lin Bai didn’t call out Little Red earlier.
This tunnel was narrow and long. If Xiao Hong continued to illuminate the tunnel, then they would be roasted until they were unable to endure the heat. If something happened, they wouldn’t be able to guarantee that their bodies would be in their best condition.
It could be said that they were extremely wrong.
After Little Red came out, it understood and dived downwards. Following that, a ball of fire spewed out and smashed into the ground below.
Bang!
The ball of fire smashed into the ground and scattered in all directions, illuminating the ground below.
Sou Sou Sou!
However, just as the flames were about to disappear, a few flying arrows shot out from the right side of the ground. Their speed was so fast that it was difficult to catch them with one’s eyes. In the end, they pierced deeply into the opposite wall, and half of the arrow’s body pierced into the wall. It could be seen that the power of this arrow was extraordinary!
“Hiss!!!”
When the thin man and Bai Xi saw this scene, they both sucked in a breath of cold air.
The thin man’s heart was palpitating. Fortunately, Lin Bai had stopped his previous plan. Otherwise, if he was the one who had jumped down, with the speed of this hidden arrow, he would not have been able to dodge it at all.
The thin man touched his chest and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He decided not to rashly rush in front of Lin Bai in the future, and not to do anything that Lin Bai did not say. Otherwise, he might really die in the secret room.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Little Red bombarded the ground below Lin Bai again and again.
This was not because Lin Bai was suspicious, but because this type of hidden weapon and mechanism would usually be detected by others the first time. Therefore, the designer would usually have a second, third, or even many mechanisms. They were waiting for the infiltrator to let down his guard after setting off the first mechanism. Once he let down his guard, the infiltrator would fall into other mechanisms. Even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured.
Whoos.h.!.+
Two more hidden arrows shot out from different directions. The power and speed of these two hidden arrows far surpa.s.sed the first one.
“F * ck!” The thin man couldn’t help but swear. “The designer of this trap is so f*cking perverted. What good stuff is in there? Is there a need for him to hide it like this?!”
Before the thin man finished his words, the floor below had caved in again. A few spikes that were as tall as an adult pierced through the floor from below.
“F * ck…”
Even with Bai Xi’s willpower, she couldn’t help but swear.
After Little Red continued to spit out a few more fireb.a.l.l.s, Lin Bai sent little black to go first. Little Black’s jet-black eyes were filled with excitement, but after he landed on the ground, he was a little disappointed that he wasn’t able to “experience” the defensive powers of those traps to his side.
“Well, it’s fine now. Let’s go down!”
Lin Bai said to the thin man and Bai Xi. As he spoke, he leaped down and landed steadily on the ground.
“These arrows are all made of cold dark iron. It’s really a b.l.o.o.d.y stroke of luck. If we take them out, we can also exchange them for a good price!”
As soon as the thin man landed, he looked at the arrows that had pierced into the wall. After identifying the materials of the arrows, he couldn’t help but shake his head.
Weapons made of such metal could easily cut through iron like mud. Many people’s weapons outside could not afford to use such materials. However, the creator of this mechanism had actually used such materials to make arrows and shoot arrows.
This made the thin man feel that it was a great pity and a great waste.
Was this the difference between a large sum of money and itinerant cultivators like us? The thin man felt bitter in his heart!
“It looks like there’s a straight path ahead. There must be a lot of traps. We have to be careful…”
Bai Xi had always been cautious and had judged the current situation. However, as soon as he said this, Little Black ran towards the path ahead.
“Be careful!”
Bai Xi wanted to stop Blackie, but Little Black had already run inside.
“Don’t worry, Little Black will be fine.”
Lin Bai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head. Little Black felt bad that he didn’t contribute his strength, so he decided to challenge this round!
As Little Black ran forward, he stomped on the floor. At the same time, he didn’t forget to look back at Lin Bai. Leave this to me!
