Chapter 749: Enter the Secret Chamber

~5 min read 991 words

His gaze was vigilant.

Lin An smelled the bloody odor earlier than Zhang Tie.

The stone door before him was tightly shut, as if it had never been opened.

But the bloody smell indeed came from inside.

People have died here...

Instinctively checking the trial's death toll, Lin An's eyelid twitched slightly.

The death toll kept fluctuating.

Although not as exaggerated as the power trial, there were mass deaths.

But behind the fluctuating numbers, it indicates that the death toll of this trial is rising at a uniform rate.

Moreover, it is quite regular.

15..

20..

15..

"Lin An, be careful."

Behind her, Fiona maintained a vigilant posture and couldn't help whispering a reminder to Lin An.

"Just as I told you before."

"The term 'weeping angel' gives me a vague impression."

Remember not very please.

Fiona only remembered that, while studying abroad, she had by chance heard classmates discussing a movie.

Among them, the name of the weeping angel was mentioned.

She couldn't recall the specific details, only remembering that this thing was extraordinarily terrifying in the movie, with extreme speed.

Unable to confirm whether it was the same thing, she could only give a warning.

"I know."

He nodded slightly.

After entering the trial, Lin An also quickly searched his memory.

But he found no memory of the weeping angel.

Before departure, the prepared materials were too numerous; much about ghosts and Meme. Related works on Special Event, he had only looked at less than half.

However, perhaps the Second Will had experienced similar events.

After all, according to the Second Will, the Long'an Project had almost made him reincarnate through all kinds of disasters.

Unfortunately, after selling a clue last time, the other party completely disappeared.

He had no intention of showing up at all.

He suppressed the thought.

Lin An said softly:

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look."

Without Hesitation.

He took the lead, his suppressed mental power expanded to the maximum, trying to probe the situation beyond the door.

Unfortunately, the mental power that passed through the stone door sank like a mud cow into the sea, unable to transmit any information back.

"Squeak—creak"

The stone door pushed open, and the rust-streaked joints emitted a harsh grinding sound.

At the same time, Lin An also received a system prompt.

"Enter the Secret Chamber."

"Current maximum entry number, 10 people."

Although the information was brief, it instantly aroused Lin An's vigilance.

10 people?

"Lin Dui, what's wrong?"

"Lord Lin An?"

Zhang Yong and Xiong Hanzi's voices sounded simultaneously; both curious, they poked their heads inward to look.

They also received the information, but didn't know why Lin An stopped in his tracks.

"Nothing..."

"The intel is too scarce; I'll tell you later."

His face hesitant, he shook his head slightly.

In a brief moment, Lin An quickly simulated several possibilities in his mind.

Without his reaction speed diminishing, relying on super-effective thinking, he thought of a lot.

Limiting the number of people...

1. Either the system is purely limiting the rate of point acquisition, or it intends to provoke competition among the Awakened Ones.

After all, such a thing as a secret chamber is not common in the labyrinth.

They did not know how long they had wandered before encountering this secret chamber.

Under the numerical limit, everyone wanted to be among the first to enter the secret chamber.

2. The monsters inside the secret chamber are not strong.

If the number of people is too many, perhaps they could kill it?

Otherwise, what's the point of limiting the number of people?

3. Only a specific number of people will trigger danger.

From the fluctuating death toll, it can be seen that the number of deaths almost always fluctuates between 10 and 20 people.

Those who go in, almost all will die?

Danger is an instantaneous Descent.

With vigilance in mind, Lin An took the lead entering the secret chamber.

Before his eyes were walls shaped like the 'hui' character, all around pitch black.

Only a faint light seeped in from outside the door, illuminating a corner of the secret chamber.

"Boom.."

The slight sound of a torch being lit startled the people behind, making their expressions tighten.

He waved his hand, Lin An signaled that nothing had happened.

That was the torch on the wall being automatically lit.

The burning torch emitted a strange smell.

"A total of nine people have entered; the rest are waiting outside."

Not being limited to ten people, Lin An gave it some thought and decided to test it out.

Will nine people trigger the suspected danger?

Footsteps echoed.

Zhang Yong, Zhang Tie, Fiona, plus two war zones each dispatched their fastest Awakened Ones.

Eight people followed nervously behind Lin An, even their breathing was cautious.

"Beep, entry time 10 seconds."

"Gained 1 point."

Ten seconds passed in a flash; Lin An, who had stopped before half a wall, furrowed his brow slightly.

At the entrance... there was no danger.

Within 10 seconds, there was no danger.

Is it that the time is insufficient, or the speculation is wrong?

"Captain Lin Dui, we just gained points!?"

Xiong Hanzi looked surprised, smacking his lips as he looked around.

The points may be few, but the way to obtain them is too simple.

Lin An neither confirmed nor denied, after a slight movement of his gaze he waved his hand to signal continuing onward.

The secret chamber contains a special item, likely behind this wall.

The uncomfortable suppression of mental power left him no choice but to personally go in and check.

"Zhang Tie, you take the lead, follow behind me."

"If there is any abnormality, withdraw immediately!"

Each Awakened One following him is a point seed; if possible, avoid deaths; best to have no deaths.

After a brief explanation, Xiong Hanzi nodded heavily and decisively stood in front of the group.

His broad back gave a sense of Safety.
