Chapter 291: Arrow Mechanism

If that is the case, why is there not a single fallen arrow in the corridor?

Now he knew what was going on; that person must have been just like him, collecting all these arrows and taking them away.

"Is it safe now?" Hu Lili asked.

"Safe, my foot. The traps here are still active. You two keep following my steps and don't make any more mistakes. Although I can protect you, it is best to avoid triggering the traps if possible," Lin Feng said.

Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia nodded hurriedly, not daring to say a single word of objection.

In the next few minutes, Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia followed strictly on the blue bricks Lin Feng had stepped on, not daring to make the slightest error, fearing that one wrong step would result in them being shot into hedgehogs by a swarm of arrows.

After walking for several dozen meters, Lin Feng stopped.

"There are no more arrow traps from here on out; you can relax a little," Lin Feng said.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia immediately let out long sighs of relief.

But this corridor had not reached its end, and Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia still had to follow Lin Feng forward.

Hu Lili looked at Lin Feng curiously and asked, "Can you see through those arrow traps?"

"Mm," Lin Feng nodded.

"How did you..."

Hu Lili asked again, but stopped halfway through her sentence.

Because she suddenly realized that Lin Feng's eyes had turned golden-red at some point, and the pupils were vertical, just like a snake's eyes.

Looking at Lin Feng's eyes, Hu Lili's heart rose to her throat.

Could it be that the man in front of her was not human, but some kind of strange creature... Hu Lili's imagination ran wild, and the more she thought, the more afraid she became.

Lin Feng glanced at Hu Lili and said, "This is called the Dragon Pupil, a type of ocular technique that can see through the flow of Spiritual Qi in the world and the True Qi of Martial Artists."

"It was through these eyes that I saw through those traps."

Hu Lili let out an "oh," stroked her chest, and said, "You scared me to death; I thought you had turned into a monster."

"Do you watch too many TV dramas?" Lin Feng said irritably.

Lin Feng moved forward again, and Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia followed immediately.

Because they did not need to pay attention to Lin Feng's footsteps as they had before, Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia both relaxed a lot.

The long corridor was extremely quiet, with even the sound of breathing clearly audible. Hu Lili said, "We have been walking for so long, why haven't we reached the end yet?"

A look of confusion also appeared on Cheng Jiajia's face.

Logically speaking, the scale of this ancient tomb should not be too large, but they had been walking here for such a long time, yet this corridor seemed to have no end; this was truly too strange.

Lin Feng scanned the surroundings and said, "It is indeed a bit odd."

Five minutes passed without them realizing it, and Lin Feng's pace gradually quickened, forcing Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia to jog along behind him.

Yet even so, they still had not reached the end of this corridor, and the surrounding environment gave them a familiar feeling, as if they had been here before.

Suddenly, Cheng Jiajia pointed to a scratch on the ground and said, "No, we just walked past here!"

"What did you say?" Lin Feng frowned tightly.

Cheng Jiajia pointed to this scratch on the ground and said, "When we walked here just now, I accidentally slipped and left this scratch. But now, we have passed here again; we must be lost."

Hu Lili's face was full of disbelief, and she said hesitantly, "That's impossible. This corridor has no side paths, and we have been walking forward the whole time without turning back. How could we possibly be lost?"

"But this scratch..."

Cheng Jiajia wanted to say something more, but the expression on her face was a bit uncertain.

Lin Feng asked, "Are you sure this mark on the ground was left by you?"

Cheng Jiajia did not dare to speak for a moment; she felt it was, but she did not dare to guarantee it.

"Forget it, we will know once we try."

Lin Feng did not press Cheng Jiajia further and directly extended his right hand to press it onto the floor.

As Lin Feng channeled his True Qi, his right hand vibrated slightly, causing the floor to sink and form a clear Giant Palm Imprint.

Such a mark was much more obvious than the scratch Cheng Jiajia had left, and it would definitely not be misidentified.

"Let's keep walking forward and see if the palm print I just left appears," Lin Feng said.

Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia nodded together and followed closely behind Lin Feng, walking quickly forward.

In less than half a minute, Lin Feng's expression became very unpleasant, and Cheng Jiajia and Hu Lili showed expressions of disbelief.

They saw that the palm print Lin Feng had just left on the ground had indeed appeared in front of them!

Lin Feng immediately rushed over, squatted down, and placed his right hand on this palm print.

His right hand matched this palm print perfectly, which was enough to prove that this palm print was indeed left here by him.

Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia chased after him, and when they reached him, Hu Lili said, "C-could we have encountered the legendary ghost wall?"

"Lili, don't scare me..." Cheng Jiajia said with a hint of a sob in her voice.

Hu Lili said, "But besides a ghost wall, there is nothing else that can explain everything before us."

After Hu Lili finished speaking, she looked at Lin Feng, wanting to hear his opinion.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "It is not a ghost wall. Things like ghost walls do not exist in the first place; where would there be ghosts in this world?"

"Then why are we..."

Before Hu Lili could finish her sentence, she saw an arrow made of refined steel appear in Lin Feng's palm.

This arrow was exactly the one that had shot out from the walls on both sides of the corridor after Cheng Jiajia accidentally triggered the arrow trap earlier.

Lin Feng had collected those arrows and stuffed them into his Storage Ring; he had only taken out one of them now.

"Do you know how far I can shoot this arrow?" Lin Feng asked.

"How far?" Hu Lili asked.

"No less than one thousand meters," Lin Feng said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng swung his right hand violently.

Pure Divine Dragon True Qi was infused into this arrow, and the arrow immediately released a blinding red light; the moment Lin Feng released his fingers, the arrow let out a sharp whistling sound, shot off toward the distance, and vanished into the darkness at the front of the corridor.

Almost at the same time, a "ding" sound came from the depths of the corridor.

"Did you hear that sound just now? The arrow hit some obstacle, which is nine times out of ten the end of the corridor; in other words, on a physical level, this corridor has an end, and there must be something else playing tricks to make us go in circles here." As Lin Feng spoke, he opened his Dragon Pupil to peer at his surroundings, but he did not discover anything unusual.

Hu Lili thought for a moment and said, "What if the arrow you shot wasn't aimed accurately and hit the walls on either side instead?"
