Chapter 35: Giant Stone Trap: Unavoidable!

Holy shit?! Even the ground has them—do you have to be this extreme?!

Seeing the circular holes appearing under his feet, Su Hao's face changed dramatically.

Although he is a flesh-and-blood controller, as long as he still has a piece of heart, no matter how severe the injury, he can recover.

But if possible, he really doesn't want to see his little brother get hurt.

And now, on the ground beneath his feet, there are six or seven holes, with their target locked onto his little brother—how could he not be nervous?

Who knows which despicable thing designed this trap!

Su Hao cursed under his breath and shook his head helplessly.

At his current position, there is basically no chance to escape, no space to dodge; he can only harden himself against the trap's attack.

After taking a deep breath, Su Hao held the serrated long blade upside down, protecting it below his waist, then stepped forward.

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—!

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—!

…

Almost the instant his right foot landed, all the circular holes on the passage walls, ceiling, and floor simultaneously sprayed three lethal poisoned arrows each, indiscriminately attacking everything in the passage.

Under such a dense barrage, even a mosquito would have little room to dodge, let alone Su Hao, a big guy 1.8 meters tall.

After the three rounds of attack ended, Su Hao, with hundreds of lethal poisoned arrows stuck in him, was pierced even more thoroughly than when he was on the first floor.

Almost all of the bodily tissue exposed outside his skeletal bone armor was struck by several arrows.

Even his skull was pierced by seven arrows.

The good news is, with the serrated long blade blocking below his waist, his little brother escaped unharmed.

Having experienced being turned into a hedgehog by poisoned arrows last time, Su Hao remained quite calm this time.

While walking toward the entrance, he calmly pulled out the arrows stuck in his body and used a Blood Flame Technique to cleanse the toxins within.

After returning to the entrance, Su Hao stored the lethal poisoned arrows on the ground into his Storage Bag and headed all the way toward the exit.

This passage on the second floor is larger and longer than the first floor's, and with arrows also shooting from the ceiling and floor, even more arrows fall inside the passage.

After walking just over two hundred meters, Su Hao's Storage Bag contained an additional 3000 lethal poisoned arrows—quite a bountiful haul.

Click!

But just then, Su Hao suddenly heard a sound from the wall on his right, and his heart jumped.

Could there be other traps in the second-floor passage?

Holy shit?! There really is!

Before Su Hao could think further, he saw a human-sized boulder protrude from the wall on his right and rush toward him.

This boulder looks heavy, and its impact speed is not slow either; if it hit him, it could easily break several bones.

To avoid being hit by the boulder, Su Hao instinctively swung his serrated long blade and chopped at the oncoming boulder.

Clang—!

After the metallic clang, the boulder showed not a single scratch, while the serrated long blade bounced upward from the recoil.

Along with Su Hao's body, he was flung backward by the tremendous force.

This hard?!

While marveling at the boulder's hardness, Su Hao used the rebound force, plus his Qingfeng Boots, to greatly increase his movement speed.

At the moment just before the boulder would strike, he lunged leftward, narrowly dodging the boulder's sneak attack.

Click! Click!

Before he could even catch his breath, another boulder protruded from the ceiling and left wall, rushing toward Su Hao.

But this time, Su Hao was already prepared; he stepped back two paces and avoided the impact of both boulders.

Click-click-click!

Immediately after.

Then even more boulders protruded from the walls, ceiling, and floor, rushing toward Su Hao.

Unfortunately, thanks to the speed boost from his Qingfeng Boots, as long as there was room to move, even if ten boulders struck simultaneously, Su Hao managed to narrowly dodge them all.

Moreover, while dodging the boulder impacts, Su Hao gradually crept toward the exit.

Before he knew it, he was less than twenty meters from the passage exit.

But just then, a black stone pillar suddenly rose from the ground about a meter ahead of Su Hao, emitting a terrifying suction force.

Caught off guard, Su Hao's body was sucked into that force and slammed heavily into the pillar, making it hard to break free at once.

At the same time, a boulder rose from the ground in each of the front, back, left, and right positions around the black stone pillar, and they slammed into the pillar.

Damn!

Seeing this, Su Hao cursed under his breath, stored his Awakening God Lantern in his Storage Bag, and ceased his fearless struggling.

Here there is basically no space to dodge, and as for blocking…

That also basically doesn't exist; perhaps only a strength like a giant panda's could wrestle these boulders, but Su Hao could never do that.

Thereafter, Su Hao leaned against the black stone pillar, used the Blood Flame Technique to light a cigarette, took a deep drag, and calmly watched the boulder rapidly enlarging before his eyes.

Boom—!

Accompanied by a muffled thud, the four surrounding boulders struck the black stone pillar at the same time, also slamming into Su Hao's body.

A large amount of bright red blood flowed from the gaps in the boulders, and in no time formed a small pool of blood on the ground.

But soon, no more blood flowed from the boulder gaps; instead, the blood on the ground began to flow back along the boulders.

After a moment, both the ground and the boulders were clean and dry, with not a drop of blood left.

Collect!

After a while, Su Hao's voice came from behind the boulder.

Immediately afterward, the four surrounding boulders all vanished, sucked into Su Hao's Storage Bag.

Phew! It really works!

Seeing this, Su Hao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Even though most of his body was protected by a skeletal bone armor, after being struck by the four boulders, at least half of his bones were instantly shattered, and blood spurted from his pores.

Having suffered such severe injuries, Su Hao immediately swallowed the drop of 【diluted scarlet blood】 he had been holding in his mouth to speed up his recovery.

He also manipulated the surrounding blood, drawing it back into his body to further boost his healing.

However, with dozens of bones broken, a single drop of 【diluted scarlet blood】 could only halt the worsening of his injuries, barely managing to reconnect the broken bones.

Fully recovering, however, would not be something he could achieve in a short time.

After initially bringing his injuries under control, Su Hao began trying to push the boulder in front of him.

But the boulder itself was heavy, and with the suction from the black stone pillar behind it, Su Hao exerted all his strength yet could not move it even an inch.

Just when he didn't know what to do, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he tried to store the boulder in his Storage Bag.

Unexpectedly, his guess was correct—the boulder he had been unable to budge was easily sucked into the Storage Bag.

Otherwise, Su Hao would have only been able to send a message to Da Xiong Mao, asking him to come rescue him……

After storing the four surrounding boulders in his Storage Bag, Su Hao remained trapped; his body was still firmly sucked onto the black stone pillar behind him.

As for this black stone pillar, whether it was because its base was embedded underground or because the pillar itself had some special property, the Storage Bag could not directly take it in.

However, Su Hao did not panic; when unsure, he would just use the Item Appraisal Technique!

As long as he knew what this black stone pillar was, he could find a solution.
