"That's why I told you not to step on it," Gilbert said to Li Huailin, who had been sent flying by the trap and was running back.
"This is cheating. Why did you give me a treasure chest first and then smash me in the face with a mallet? How am I supposed to guess?" Li Huailin said.
"That's why I said it was a trap …" Gilbert laughed. "Alright, what's the matter?"
"I saw that the trap has a fixed damage of 1,000 points. It shouldn't be much of a problem," Li Huailin said.
"If there's nothing else, let's go." Gilbert nodded.
"Wait … wait …" Li Huailin said again.
"What now?" Gilbert turned around.
"Isn't there another treasure chest here?" Li Huailin pointed at the wooden chest that had just fallen to the ground.
"…" Gilbert almost rolled his eyes. "This is a trap. There's no need to guess."
"I don't think so. Look, I opened a trap and was hit once. This should be my reward, right?" Li Huailin said. "Besides, there's a treasure chest on the ground. Don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't open it?"
"What kind of hobby is this? This is too suspicious. What if dozens of arrows fly out? Wouldn't that be terrible?" Gilbert said.
"What if I open it and find a pile of gold coins? Wouldn't that be great?" Li Huailin said.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. This conversation seems very familiar. I think you said the same thing just now, and then you were sent flying by a mallet," Gilbert said.
"Should I try it?" Li Huailin asked again.
"…" Gilbert stared blankly at Li Huailin, then took two steps back. "Please … don't be so polite with me."
"…" Li Huailin looked at Gilbert, who was standing a distance away from him. "Your actions show that you don't trust my judgment."
"Yes, I don't trust you. I just hope that this trap will be smaller and not implicate me," Gilbert said.
"This is too damned sad. Come, let me show you my Divine Luck skill," Li Huailin said as he abruptly opened the Treasure Chest.
As soon as the treasure chest was opened, a golden light shot out in all directions, so bright that Li Huailin couldn't even open his eyes.
"That's impossible!" Gilbert said in surprise.
"Holy sh * t! There really is a treasure! It really blinded my dog eyes! "Li Huailin was also shocked.
"Didn't you guess it was a treasure? Why are you so surprised?" Gilbert said.
"Who the hell would put treasures in a treasure chest like this? No matter how I look at it, it looks like a trap. Is the person who designed this place crazy?" Li Huailin shouted.
"That's why I'm asking you. What's your purpose in stepping into the trap from the beginning?" Gilbert said. Suddenly, he froze. "What's inside? Why do I hear a beep, beep, beep? "
"Yeah, I heard it too. Let me see …"
Before Li Huailin could finish his sentence, he heard a loud bang from the treasure chest in front of him. It exploded …
The entire tunnel shook with a "dong" sound. Sand and stones flew everywhere, and a few bricks fell from the already weak walls.
"Cough, cough, cough …" Gilbert dusted off the flying dust, picked up the torch that had been blown out, and lit it again. Then, he looked around. "Huailin, are you still alive?"
"I made a mistake." Li Huailin slowly walked over to Gilbert. As he walked, he said, "The person who designed this trap is a god. He actually tricked me twice. Impressive."
"Impressive my ass. Normal people wouldn't fall for it, okay?" Gilbert couldn't help but say. "Besides, didn't I warn you that it was a trap?"
"It's not that our army is weak, but the enemy is too cunning. How can we avoid such a trap?" Li Huailin said with a heavy expression.
"We can completely avoid it. I told you not to step on it," Gilbert said.
"It seems that our opponent is not simple." Li Huailin nodded, feeling like he had met his match.
"Our opponent is completely retarded." Gilbert was on the verge of breaking down because of Li Huailin. He took a deep breath and said, "Alright, alright. You should have nothing to play with now. Can we continue?"
"Hmm … I still want more …" Li Huailin said.
"You really did it on purpose, right?" Gilbert said.
"Impossible. I told you that the enemy is too cunning." Li Huailin quibbled.
"Okay, okay, let's go first …" Gilbert held his forehead.
As they continued forward, their journey was very smooth. Occasionally, one or two mindless demonized combat puppets would jump out, but Gilbert would deal with them with a single slash.
"Huailin, it seems like it dropped something again." Gilbert didn't know if it was because he had good eyesight or something, but he could see it whenever a monster dropped something.
"What is it? Don't tell me it's the unused black core again. " The unused black cores were dropping like crazy. The two of them had only killed a dozen monsters along the way, but they had picked up a total of ten unused black cores. Apart from that, the demonized combat puppets didn't drop anything, not even copper coins.
"No …" Gilbert picked up the dropped item and looked at it under the torch. "It should be a healing potion."
"Oh." Li Huailin took it and looked at it. Medium healing potion … I still have a pile in my bank. This bottle …
"Eh? Wait! " Li Huailin suddenly froze. He hurriedly looked at Millet's skill description. "Noble Sacrifice can only counterattack when I receive a fatal attack. But what if I drink the potion and die? Can it be triggered? It shouldn't happen even if there's no target. Otherwise, won't I just kill myself? If drinking potions can kill me, then I can go back, right? "
"What's wrong, Huailin?" Gilbert asked as he looked at Li Huailin, who suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"I suddenly had a burst of inspiration. Uh, I really want to try it." Li Huailin was a little anxious. As they were leveling up, Li Huailin was afraid that he would drop his items. Previously, he had stored all his items in York's Merck's bank. Now, he only had a bottle of potion in his hand. He wouldn't die from drinking it. He opened his status bar and saw that his current HP was 2360 points. If he wanted to drink himself to death, he would need 12 Medium Health Potions to do so.
"I'm really … Why did I train so hard for the past few days? I only had less than 1000 HP at that time, and I died after drinking 5 potions. I ran around and trained for 2 days … Damn it, forget it, the HP potions I saved can be used now. But whether it works or not, I really want to go back and test it out." Li Huailin was anxious. Of course, he couldn't just go back now. He immediately took a step forward. "Gilbert, hurry, hurry. Finish it quickly."
"Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?" Gilbert was a little confused. He was also quite worried about the people in the camp. Even though Marquis Filmus' men shouldn't be here so soon, he was still worried. Since Li Huailin quickened his pace, he immediately followed.
The two increased their speed and continued exploring the underground palace. Actually, there weren't any forks in the road so far. It was just that this path was a little deeper, and they didn't know where it led to. The other two noticed that the path seemed to be getting wider as they walked. It wasn't as narrow and stifling as it had been at the beginning.
Just like that, the two of them advanced smoothly until …
"Careful!" Gilbert shouted again.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was taken aback, then he subconsciously looked down. Sure enough, there was another protruding stone on the ground.
"Again?" Li Huailin said.
"Don't mind it. Just go around it," Gilbert said casually.
"Wait … wait …" Li Huailin shouted again.
"…" Gilbert turned around speechlessly. "Don't tell me you're going to step on it again. This is a trap. Didn't you just say to hurry up? Can you stop wasting time?"
"Don't you think it's a little strange?" Li Huailin said.
"What's strange?" Gilbert asked.
"This trap looks exactly the same as the one just now," Li Huailin said.
"Yes, it's exactly the same." Gilbert nodded.
"The problem is, with such an exquisite trap, there's a hundred percent chance that someone will fall for it. Now that there's a second similar trap, is it to stop people from stepping on it?" Li Huailin assumed the pose of a famous detective and reasoned methodically.
"The trap just now was exquisite. Normal people wouldn't step on it," Gilbert said.
"That's why I think this device is definitely a secret door control device. In other words, the correct path isn't the one in front of us. Only by stepping on this switch will a new path open," Li Huailin said righteously.
"I don't know why, but I feel that what you said makes sense. However, I still want to say that I think the person who designed this trap probably isn't as smart as you think," Gilbert said.
"Don't underestimate any opponent, Captain," Li Huailin said.
"No, I think we should underestimate our opponent this time. Otherwise, our intelligence will be dragged down to his level," Gilbert said.
"I think …" Li Huailin wanted to say something, but Gilbert interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Alright, alright. You just want to step on it, right? Fine, I'll wait. You do it." Gilbert had already given up on persuading him.
"Why would I want to step on it? I've already done it once. How can a saint be hit by the same trick twice?" Li Huailin said.
"Let's not talk about who the saint is first. You've already been hit twice. This is the third time," Gilbert said. "What's the result? If you don't step on it, what do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, I have a good partner who specializes in dealing with mines," Li Huailin said with a smile. "Come, let me introduce you. Millet, come out."
"Roar!" Millet appeared in Gilbert's sight.
"Eh? This is a young dragon? "It was Gilbert's first time seeing Millet, and he was a little surprised.
"Yes, yes." Li Huailin said as he pointed at the protruding tiles on the ground. "Come, Millet, stand here."
