Chapter 278 I refuse to believe her props are endless

He looked up; the dome was incredibly high, so high that the end was nowhere in sight.

Layer upon layer of suspended plank walkways crisscrossed and spiraled above his head, extending upward in stacks. Each layer was embedded with dozens of identical stone doors.

The pillars, arches, stone steps, and walkways were all built from the same kind of stone.

It was monotonous and uniform.

But the more it was like this, the more helpless Chen Yu felt.

“This is just too big...”

Chen Yu sighed with emotion.

Just on the floor where he stood,

the corridor extended at least several hundred meters in two directions, with stone doors lined up densely.

If he pushed open every door and climbed every walkway one by one, even if he exhausted all his stamina, he wouldn't be able to search every corner of this lighthouse.

“Perception...”

He first tried to sense his surroundings.

Closing his eyes, he concentrated and held his breath.

One must know that he possessed a full thirty-six points of Perception, which was 3.6 times that of a normal adult.

But he found it was meaningless.

It was just as the description of the 'Shackles · Perception' stated:

Vision, hearing, Perception, and detection abilities are all heavily suppressed!

Chen Yu shook his head and pushed open a random door. Behind it was a perfectly circular stone room. It wasn't large, and a light source was embedded in the dome, illuminating the entire stone room brightly!

At the same time...

The stone brick beneath his feet suddenly sank!

A thick stone pillar crashed down vertically from directly above the dome!

Immediately after, several rows of dense bronze spear tips simultaneously popped out from the walls on both sides!

The spear tips glinted with dark green rust under the cold light, crisscrossing to seal off all evasion routes!

Chen Yu turned his body to dodge the stone pillar,

kicked off the ground, and his whole body practically slid out along the floor!

The spear tips pierced past both sides of his shoulders and back, grazing and tearing several holes in his clothes!

When he landed, he flipped over with one hand supporting himself. Just as the back of his knees left the ground...

The final stone spear stabbed into the stone brick he had just been supporting himself on!

The entire trap took less than twenty seconds from trigger to finish, and then the whole stone room collapsed!

At the same time, similar booming sounds came from the distance!

From different directions and with different rhythms, the sounds echoed intermittently inside the hollow tower floors!

It seemed he wasn't the only one testing the mechanisms; other teams had also begun to probe the stone rooms...

“How insidious.”

Chen Yu remarked.

He suddenly felt a bit worried about Song Xingmian; she was the 'red luan' he had placed his bets on.

She absolutely must not have anything happen to her.

Chen Yu gnashed his teeth: “No, I must find her first.”

Speaking of which,

among the four survivors of Huaxia's Haicheng Team, Chen Muqing should be the most at ease.

This guy's SSS-grade Holographic Sandbox, even if suppressed, was still a detection skill, perfectly suited for this.

Zhang Lieyang's Talent intensity was very high; he should also be able to overcome the danger he just faced.

Only Song Xingmian made Chen Yu worry.

After all,

her Talent had no combat capability to speak of; it would be very troublesome if she ran into people from other teams while alone.

Chen Yu could only pray now,

that with her background, she could deploy more items, and that those items would happen to be useful.

“The priority is to find Song Xingmian.”

Chen Yu felt that the matter of finding the Origin Mark could be put aside for a moment.

He could only sense the general direction of the mark right now, and that was all.

Besides, there were still over three hours left, which was enough.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu had already rushed out first.

He circled the interior of the lighthouse looking for her.

Before long,

Chen Yu caught the sound of very faint footsteps ahead.

A figure flashed out from a corner.

He had an Asian face, wore a suit, was a middle-aged man, and had a badge he hadn't seen before pinned to his lapel.

His hair was combed meticulously, and his right hand held a narrow blade.

The man was also stunned for a moment when he saw Chen Yu, then narrowed his eyes: “Oh? A Huaxia person?”

From the other party's language, it could be directly determined,

that he was from the Sakura Country.

The man said with a condescending pity: “Unfortunate for you to have met me, heh heh...”

“Heh your mother's head!”

The ghost head blade fell into Chen Yu's palm, its hilt still wrapped with Alice's hairband.

“?”

The suited man's pupils shrank violently!

He clearly hadn't expected...

that this Huaxia person would advance instead of retreating upon seeing him?

Seeing a blade swing toward him!

“Clang!!!”

He hastily raised his blade to parry. The edge collided with the ghost head blade, sparks exploded, and the narrow blade was snapped directly by a terrifying force, the broken blade spinning away!

“?”

The ghost head blade didn't stop, cutting in from the suited man's left neck and slashing out diagonally above his right shoulder!

The suited man's head slid diagonally off his neck!

Chen Yu flicked the blood off his blade. “Sakura Country... for every one I see, I'll kill one...”

In his past life,

this group of people had displayed the deep-seated malice in their bloodline.

In this life,

Chen Yu would not show the slightest mercy.

Having dealt with this person,

Chen Yu continued running, searching for Song Xingmian.

...

...

In the distance, at a corner, three figures!

One of them,

was exactly Song Xingmian, dressed in her military uniform!

Opposite her...

were two men in suits, with badges pinned to their lapels.

They were from the Sakura Country.

A Skinny Tall Guy held a blade, its tip pointing nonchalantly at Song Xingmian.

The other man was a burly powerhouse, leaning against the stone wall with his arms crossed, in a lazy posture.

“Haicheng Team.”

The Skinny Tall Guy sized her up: “Hmm... how about this, hand over all the items in your personal backpack and Public Backpack, and we can leave you a path to live.”

The burly man also chimed in: “Don't think about fooling us. You just used three different items in a row back at that corner—two shields and an acceleration talisman. These things are all valuable outside. You have quite a few items on you. Hand them all over, don't force us to act.”

Song Xingmian took a deep breath, constantly backing away: “I'll say it again, Huaxia's rank in the first stage was first, and the rank in the second stage was also first!”

“So what!”

The Skinny Tall Guy snorted coldly: “But now, you are alone, aren't you? Beautiful?”

He tilted his head, his gaze sliding from the epaulets on her military uniform to her face, his eyes unscrupulous.

“Looking at your clothes, you're from the Military District? Then I like it even more. I love unwrapping this kind of packaging the most.”

“You're looking for death!”

Song Xingmian kicked out,

the angle of her kick was actually very tricky,

aiming directly for the groin!

But the Skinny Tall Guy easily stepped aside to avoid it and threw a backhand punch at her shoulder!

“Bang!”

She hastily dodged to the side. The fist grazed her shoulder and smashed into the stone wall!

Taking advantage of the momentum from her dodge, she retreated two steps and activated another shield!

A light blue glowing barrier lit up around her!

The burly man slashed his blade onto the barrier, causing it to vibrate violently!

He slashed several times in succession, each strike heavier than the last. The barrier dimmed a bit with every hit!

But within those few seconds the shield held, she had already activated another acceleration talisman. Her figure sprinted through the narrow corridor, reaching the other side of the stone wall and pulling away again!

“Damn it!”

“It's never-ending!”

The Skinny Tall Guy cursed under his breath!

The burly man was also somewhat irritated: “How many items did this woman bring! This is ridiculous! Even my S-grade strength can't shatter the shield! Are we still chasing?”

The Skinny Tall Guy whispered: “Nonsense! The relationship has already soured. Not chase? Are we waiting for her to find her teammates?”

He gnashed his teeth: “No matter how many items she has, there's always a limit. I don't believe her items are endless!”
