Thousand-faced Human Fox lived up to his name as one of the four Divine Thieves in the Chinese server. Aside from his superb thieving skills, he also had a lot of experience when it came to all sorts of traps.
Thud!
Thud …
The sound of burning flames swiftly spread out in the empty and dark tunnel. At the same time, it illuminated the dark tunnel.
A huge tunnel that was hundreds of feet long and whose end could not be seen appeared in front of Happy and Osaya. They could see everything in front of them clearly, and while they were amazed, they extinguished the torches in their hands.
Osaya cast a surprised glance at Thousand-faced Human Fox, who was knocking and groping about the smooth wall. She sighed with emotion. "Young Master Gusu, I finally understand why you have such an old follower by your side even though you have such great skills. Your follower is indeed not a normal person."
The palace in the desert was said to have been built by a group of mysterious craftsmen and countless trap masters. It would appear once every fifty years, and every time it appeared, it would devour a lot of powerful fighters from all over the world. Many of the traps in it were made with ancient methods.
There was no way she would not be shocked if an ugly old man had managed to find the mechanism to light up the tunnel in such a short period of time.
Knock!
Knock!
Thousand-faced Human Fox did not become smug because of Osaya's praise. He carefully moved to the side and pressed his ear against the wall. He knocked on the wall and listened to the echoes that came from the distance.
Happy's tone was calm.
"Miss Osaya, you're not a simple person either. You're young, but you're already in the dao of heaven. If you become my attendant, you'll definitely be much stronger than this old man." Naturally, he knew that Osaya wanted to get information out of him and use the chance to find out Thousand-faced Human Fox's true identity. There was no way he would let her have her way.
When she heard this, Osaya rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
Perhaps only the mysterious and unfathomable Gusu's Blue-robed Hero would dare to ask the Sacred Lady of Holy Fire Cult to become his attendant.
There was a hint of ambiguity in his words, and it caused Osaya to feel a little hot at the same time she was angry.
"Master!"
Thousand-faced Human Fox insensibly butted in at this moment and broke the charming atmosphere between them.
"The lighting in the passageway is too simple. The floor and the walls on both sides are abnormally smooth. This is a characteristic of many fatal mechanisms in the passageway. According to this old servant's experience, if we don't leave this place as soon as possible, I'm afraid we'll be in big trouble."
When they heard this, the expressions of the man and woman who were staring at each other became stern at the same time. They looked up at the sky that was covered by black sand.
"I also think that … we shouldn't stay here for long."
"Go!"
Their pupils constricting, the three of them simultaneously leaped up and flew towards the other end of the passageway.
A few seconds after the three of them moved, yellow sand poured down from the sky like a waterfall, followed by a deafening boom! The place where the three of them were previously was completely flooded.
When they heard the loud bang behind them, Happy, Osaya, and Thousand-faced Human Fox scowled. They did not say a word.
The three of them were incredibly smart people. Based on the information Thousand-faced Human Fox revealed, they had a general idea that the black sandstorm had already arrived above their heads.
When the passage above their heads opened, the yellow sand would definitely pour in!
The environment in the tunnel would also create a terrain of quicksand. This place would soon be completely submerged, and if they stayed for a long time, they would only end up in a hopeless situation.
Fortunately, the three of them had pretty good lightness skills. Once they reacted to the situation, they immediately cast the yellow sand behind them.
On the way …
Happy suddenly noticed a faint light flash in front of him. It was like a spider's thread, and it disappeared in an inconspicuous flash.
"Careful."
Thousand-faced Human Fox reacted very quickly and gave them a warning.
While he was in the air, he flicked his hands.
Under Happy and Osaya's surprised gazes, a red curtain that had been tossed in the air was pinned forward by a few throwing knives in an incredibly profound manner.
The curtain was about six feet long!
Four throwing knives were perfectly pinned to the four corners of the curtain. They were pulled apart horizontally and flew forward in the same manner.
Before the two of them could be surprised by Thousand-faced Human Fox's hidden weapon technique, they heard a barely audible sound of cloth being torn apart.
Immediately after, several visible cracks appeared on the cloth that had been flattened and flew out …
The cloth was torn apart, as if it had been cut by countless sharp blades. It turned into shredded cloth that danced in the air.
Whoosh!
When they saw this, Happy and Osaya became wary at the same time.
The tunnel was not spacious to begin with, and the lighting was not good either. If there were a few silk threads connecting them, a normal person would be cut into pieces if they did not pay attention to them. Even body fortifications would not be able to block them.
The most dangerous thing was that the yellow sand flowed backwards, and the wind howled. The situation forced many people to ignore the hidden dangers ahead of them when they were nervous. In any case, it was a very dangerous situation, and they would die!
Simultaneously, they turned around in the air and slowed down.
Whoosh!
While she was in the air, Osaya elegantly flung a white ribbon. The white ribbon flew up and down in the air like steel, and it flew dozens of feet forward.
No one knew what method Osaya used to avoid all the silk threads, but her actions were not that simple.
She flicked her wrist.
The white ribbon suddenly started moving. It swayed like an agile snake, and it gently released a puff of white powder.
The white powder soon landed on the ground.
White threads that were dozens of feet long instantly appeared in the air. They intersected with each other and locked down the area ahead of them. There was not a single crack that could be passed through.
"Beautiful.
"Leave the rest to this old servant." Thousand-faced Human Fox was troubled by the fatal silk threads as well, but all the silk threads in the area had been marked, and the rest was instantly much easier to deal with. He volunteered to go forward.
He held a shining dagger in his hand.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Thousand-faced Human Fox quickly flew over and quickly cut off the silk threads. Then, he used a unique brocade handkerchief to collect them.
In less than ten seconds, the soundless and fatal trap was completely removed!
"Young Master Gusu, I really can't see through your follower anymore. He can even easily cut through Wild Silk, which is impervious to fire and water. That dagger in his hands must have an extraordinary background." Osaya blinked and looked at Happy. "Gusu, I really can't understand your follower anymore.
"He's just an old bag of bones. He can only do some physical work, unlike you, Miss Osaya. When you swung your sleeves just now, it was ingenious and pleasing to the eye. Miss Osaya, are you really not going to consider my suggestion just now?"
Osaya rolled her beautiful eyes again and no longer bothered with Happy.
Osaya did not say anything. Thousand-faced Human Fox focused on clearing the traps, and Happy naturally did not talk to himself. The tunnel instantly fell silent.
Ever since they entered the quest in Dragon Gate Inn, which was a forbidden land, as time passed, Happy realized that bringing Thousand-faced Human Fox in was the wisest decision he made over this period of time.
On their way, they ran into a few fatal traps, and all of them were above the silk threads.
But with the guidance of the veteran wanderer, they easily resolved them, and they completely left the threat of sand flowing into them far behind them. They reached the end of the tunnel without any danger.
That was right.
The end of the tunnel!
The group's path forward was blocked by a cold and sturdy cliff. The trio seemed to have walked into a dead end.
"How could this be?"
Osaya frowned a little. Only those in the dao of heaven could remain calm and rational at this moment. If it were any other normal person, they might have panicked and turned around a long time ago or screamed.
"Ten Thousand Years."
When they faced the dead end, Happy only turned his head around to look at Thousand-faced Human Fox. He did not believe that one of the four Divine Thieves would make such a stupid, low-level judgment and bring his group to a dead end.
There were plenty of traps on their way here, but they had been fine. This should not be a dead end!
"It's impossible for this place to be a sealed dead end. I'll see whether I can break it."
"Don't take action for now."
Thousand-faced Human Fox, whose alias was Ten Thousand Years' Qiu, was the most nervous person in the group at that moment. While he answered, he pressed his ear against the wall and knocked on it. When he heard nothing, he lay down and knocked on the ground for a long time to search for any possible traps.
"This might be a very famous trap from ancient times. It's a trap that has a slim chance of survival. Don't act rashly at this moment."
"But the sand will soon flow in. If we don't find the exit, the three of us will die here." Osaya might not seem to be in a hurry, but when the sand surged in like a tidal wave from the other end of the tunnel, she could not help but frown. There was a faint hint of anxiety in her.
Ten seconds later …
The sand was now sixty-five feet away from them.
The cold flying sand even landed on their faces, but Thousand-faced Human Fox still did not find the exit or any traps.
When he saw that the space for the trio was becoming smaller and that they were in an increasingly dangerous situation, even Happy could no longer remain calm.
'Are these the traps in a forbidden land?
Is this the difficulty of a quest in a forbidden land?
Am I supposed to die outside before I even see the shadow of the desert palace? '
Happy laughed wanly in his heart. He extended his hand into his Universe Bag and brought out Heaven Crystal.
He had finally obtained Heaven Crystal after much difficulty.
Once he died, the ancient divine weapon would automatically search for a new master and disappear without a trace. He had spent a lot of effort and time to obtain this killing move, and he would lose it.
Compared to Heaven Crystal, the quest in a forbidden land became insignificant!
When he thought of this, Happy was even more unwilling to die in this place.
"Ten Thousand Years!"
"I got it!" Just when Happy was prepared to use the wall in front of him as an example, he suddenly heard Thousand-faced Human Fox's excited cry of surprise behind him.
"Master! This might be the Only One Out of Ten Steps in the Amazing Log of the Seas and Mountains. It's a trap! "
When Happy heard this, he froze.
When Thousand-faced Human Fox said this, the rolling sand had already rushed to the trio's feet.
Whoosh!
The trio jumped up at the same time. They stepped on the sand that was like quicksand and gradually moved higher.
Fortunately, their lightness skills were outstanding, or else, if a normal person landed on the quicksand that had no strength, they would not be able to get their feet out of it!
"I don't care what sort of trap this is! Tell me, how are we supposed to get rid of this trap?!" Happy shouted anxiously.
Thousand-faced Human Fox jumped about on the quicksand while he explained loudly. "We don't need to break it. As long as we don't die, the rune will break on its own, and we'll have a chance to survive if we're only ten steps away. What we need to do now is to protect ourselves!"
Boom!
A loud bang rose, and the entire tunnel was completely swallowed by the sand. The trio were like ants that were struggling to survive in a storm. They continued climbing up the sand that rose up.
