CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE The Three Arrows

As Xiao Li waved his hands to block the hidden weapon, he slowly walked towards the stone door. Looking at the two bronze rings on the door, he wondered how he should open it.

After a hundred turns, Xiao Li made a decision in his heart. He thought, "I can't think of a solution here. It's better to try. Since the mechanism has been activated, it doesn't matter if I trigger a few more. After all, I have a lot of debts."

Immediately, he released his left hand to pull a bronze bracelet on top of it. With a "pfft" sound, three holes suddenly appeared on the stone door, aiming at three vital spots on Xiao Li's chest. Xiao Li was already prepared. He immediately flipped over and fell to the ground. He heard three sharp whooshing sounds above his head. Three loud whooshing sounds came from the stone wall in front of him, causing the entire stone room to buzz.

There were many hidden weapon wounds on Xiao Li's body, but he didn't care about them at all. He turned around and looked at the wall behind him, only to see three shiny javelins nailed to the wall. They were already a few feet deep into the wall.

This time, Xiao Li was truly drenched in cold sweat. If such a strong and sharp arrow really hit him, he would have already had three transparent holes on his body. The mechanisms of the Viewing Platform were too powerful and too insidious.

As Xiao Li resisted the hidden weapon, he hesitated, unsure as to whether he should continue to test out the other bronze bracelet. After struggling for a while, he was still unable to resist the temptation. He pulled on the other bronze bracelet and immediately jumped out of the stone door's range.

However, this time, a familiar clanging sound came from the mountain wall. Then, Xiao Li noticed that the hidden weapons on the walls gradually became sparser. In the end, they didn't stop shooting. Xiao Li inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that his gamble this time was right. The mechanism here had passed.

Xiao Li looked at the hidden weapons all over his body and could not help but shake his head with a bitter smile. He really was an iron-clad man that could not be shot. He wryly smiled as he waved his hand to remove all the hidden weapons. Although it was nothing serious, the pain still made him grimace.

Looking at his tattered, blood-stained clothes, Xiao Li shook his head with a bitter smile. However, the scars on his face were twisted like earthworms. Xiao Li slowly walked towards the stone door and used his strength to push. The stone door opened with a creak.

The scene that appeared in front of Xiao Li made him go crazy. He saw that there was another stone door ten steps away from him. Xiao Li lamented in his heart, "What the hell is the Lou Guang Sect up to? It's just a trap in two or three steps. Are they done yet?!" Previously, he had deduced that there were eight stone chambers surrounding a secret chamber in the middle. This secret chamber could not be considered large, so he had thought that as long as he could break through the mechanism within the chamber, the only person who could enter it would be the secret chamber. However, he hadn't expected that this secret chamber would be so small that there would actually be a mechanism behind the mechanism of the chamber.

Xiao Li wailed in his heart as he walked in. However, just as he took his first step, he suddenly retracted his foot. He had already become a lot more cautious. After all, he had experienced a lot of traps before, so he was much more sensitive to the sudden appearance of another mechanism. The lesson taught to him by the three steel arrows was not an ordinary one. If his evasion had been slightly slower, he would already be a dead man by now.

Now that they were infinitely close to the treasure chamber, the mechanisms would probably be even more powerful. He didn't even have the confidence in his own martial arts. Although he would occasionally go and try something new, it was only when he found something special that he would be able to bear witness to it, and not casually take risks.

The two sides of the walkway were still stone walls and were no different from the ones outside. Ten steps away was a stone door, and that stone door was no different from the one he was standing on. However, there were two holes on the stone door that could be clearly seen from here. Xiao Li guessed that the two holes were used to open the stone door. As for how they were opened, no one knew. The path was paved with stone and it was no different from a stone wall. It was dug out by someone else and then polished to a smooth state.

Everything seemed so natural and there was nothing suspicious about it, but Xiao Li was no longer confused by the surface. This was because the traps they had encountered previously were so ordinary that they looked like harmless rabbits. However, when they had activated them, they had been so insidious and wouldn't have allowed anyone to escape.

Xiao Li's gaze searched back and forth, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't find the slightest clue. In the end, he had no choice but to stop this pointless search. Various thoughts ran through his mind unceasingly.

Xiao Li knew that there was definitely a mechanism here, but he didn't know where it was. Right now, he didn't dare to take the risk anymore. Xiao Ying and Old Zhao were still waiting for him outside. Old Zhao was no longer able to fight, and Ying Ying was a weak child. Thinking about the three steel arrows from earlier, he was still covered in cold sweat.

However, now that the secret chamber was right in front of him, he was extremely unwilling to give up the opportunity to take revenge on the Lou Guang Sect. Therefore, he had to think of a safe way to pass this ten-step distance no matter what.

As he was worrying about his gains and losses, a sound rang out from the secret chamber within the mechanism that he was standing in. It was the leader of the control mechanism, the one who reported the situation to Lieutenant Shen Bu. He said, "Elder Shen, the mechanism in the secret chamber suddenly stopped. That person may have broken the mechanism in the stone chamber."

When Lieutenant Shen Bu heard his subordinate's report, he was once again greatly alarmed. He really couldn't think of how Xiao Li and the rest could have avoided such a powerful mechanism. He said hoarsely, "You, are you sure?"

That subordinate said with a bit of a twinkle, "When the mechanism stops, there are usually only two situations: one is that the concealed weapon is exhausted, and the other is that someone has opened the passage to the treasure room. The hidden weapons in the mechanism would be enough to fire for two hours, so the probability of this happening was close to zero. Of course, this does not preclude the possibility of problems appearing after the organization was built for too long. "

Lieutenant Shen Bu's eyes flickered, as if she was pondering over her subordinate's analysis. After quite a while, she asked, "How is the situation on Master Yin's side?"

That subordinate hurriedly said, "No news has come yet, it seems the situation isn't too optimistic."

Lieutenant Shen Bu nodded and then asked, "How are the traitors of Elder Chen, Elder Pan, and Elder Xia doing?"

That subordinate said, "Ever since they were forced into the stone room by the Altar Master in the 'Dragon's Universe Formation', they have been unable to charge out, so they should be fine."

Lieutenant Shen Bu thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to the stone room to take a look at the situation! "Leave a few people here to monitor the situation over at the traitor's side. If anything happens, inform me immediately."

Countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Li's mind, but they were all dismissed. Unconsciously, he paced back and forth in front of the stone door. Suddenly, he saw the three steel arrows pierced into the wall in front of him from the corner of his eyes.

Immediately, Xiao Li flew to the wall and used his exposed arrow's tail to pull, but the arrow didn't budge in the slightest. Xiao Li closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh. He used his inner strength to pull the arrow out and there was a piercing sound of friction. He pulled the arrow out three feet and pulled it out with force.

Xiao Li brandished the arrow in his hand twice, which was quite convenient for him. The head of the arrow was made of a triangular arrow tip, sharp as a needle with a barbed back. It was seven feet long, made entirely out of pure steel, and had a tail with arrow wings. Immediately, Xiao Li pulled out all three steel arrows. He held one arrow in each hand and pinned the other to his waist.

Xiao Li arrived in front of the stone door once again. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a long time, and suddenly shot towards the stone door that was ten steps away. When he arrived at the stone door, Xiao Li waved his right hand, and ruthlessly stabbed the steel arrow in his hand into the stone door. Two crisp sounds could be heard as the steel arrow in Xiao Li's hand penetrated two feet into the stone wall. Xiao Li was left hanging in midair just like that.

After stabilizing himself, Xiao Li flipped over and used both of his feet to hook onto two steel arrows. He flipped his body forward and closely examined the two holes on the stone door.

One side of each of the two holes stood side by side. The hole was about three inches round. After Xiao Li observed for a while, he took off the steel arrow at his waist and inserted it into the hole on the left.

After the steel arrow was inserted into the stone door for five or six inches, Xiao Li felt as if he had touched something. He pushed it open a little and heard a piercing sound as the stone door behind him suddenly closed by itself.

Just as he was about to enter, he heard three sharp whistling sounds. Three streams of light flashed through the corridor and disappeared through the second stone door. At the same time, three muffled puffing sounds came from outside the door.

When Xiao Li saw this, his scalp went numb. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, 'This Lou Guang Sect is too f * cking inhuman, are they done yet?!'

However, before Xiao Li could finish cursing, a familiar rattling sound came from the stone wall. Suddenly, countless small holes appeared on the stone wall.

Xiao Li looked at the small holes on the wall and swallowed his words. He sighed in his heart, [There really isn't an end!] From the tiny holes, countless fine pieces of black sand shot out, covering the entire walkway.

Xiao Li ignored the familiar black sand. Although it caused his wounds some pain, he still bent down and pulled out the steel arrow that he hadn't had the time to pull out. He inserted it into the hole on the right side to fiddle with it.

Xiao Li only needed to poke through a few things before three rays of light appeared in front of him. Fortunately, he had already kept his eyes open and dodged the three holes. Otherwise, he would have to face a different path.
