Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140: The Second Level, Fraught with Danger

Shi Lijian looked at Lin Chen, nodding repeatedly to apologize. After all, Lin Chen had a strong background, and if these people offended Lin Chen, who knew what might happen.

Seeing this, Lin Chen waved his hand and didn’t mind.

Lin Chen looked at Shi Lijian, thinking of the situation detected by the Abyssal Eye earlier; the road ahead was likely to be more dangerous.

"Brother Shi, be careful in everything, don’t be reckless. Staying alive is the most important thing; some opportunities are not meant to be forced. If something really happens, Miss Shi Yu would surely be heartbroken,"

Lin Chen reminded Shi Lijian.

This Ancient Secret Realm might have opportunities, but Shi Lijian’s cultivation level was indeed not high.

Even though he had the Peak of the Nirvana Realm cultivation, everyone from the Four Great Families probably had more combat power than Shi Lijian.

"Leader Lin Chen, should we hurry to the front, or else the treasures inside might be split by others,"

Su Lie urged them as they had become the last team, looking quite anxious.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen gave Su Lie a faint glance.

"Rushing to the front of the group doesn’t necessarily bring the opportunity into your hands."

"It’s not bad to have someone pave the way for us, discovering dangers and traps."

"Mr. Lin has never required everyone to stay by my side. If you’re eager, you may compete for opportunities right now, and I won’t stop you."

Lin Chen glanced at everyone and noticed a few were quite eager, prompting him to speak.

"Yes, what use is running fast? It only turns you into a paving stone for others."

Su Yun also agreed with Lin Chen’s perspective, calmly addressing everyone.

After making his point, Lin Chen ignored everyone and continued to pick up the silver needles on the ground.

Faced with those metal cylinders releasing silver needles, Lin Chen wanted to take them down, but after some attempts, he found he couldn’t move them, so he gave up.

Su Lie stood frozen, though he wanted to rush to the front, knowing that without Lin Chen, he’d be isolated and helpless in danger, it was safer by Lin Chen’s side.

They wanted to rely on Lin Chen but couldn’t mix up priorities and demand Lin Chen to follow their lead.

At the end of the passage, Lin Chen’s Divine Soul entered the space ring with the silver needles, discovering as many as a hundred thousand of them.

These silver needles were not individually very valuable, but given their quantity, these hundred thousand silver needles were probably worth more than a Sixth Rank magic treasure.

Arriving at this stone chamber, Lin Chen immediately noticed that some passages on either side had stone platforms where treasures seemed to have been originally placed.

However, since Lin Chen and the others arrived late, they had already been taken away by others.

Seeing this, Su Lie and the others looked unwilling, hastily searching each passage for any overlooked items.

While no treasures were found, at some passage ends, they saw water bandits and disciples from the Four Great Families fighting intensely, seemingly over treasure disputes.

Lin Chen wasn’t seeking treasures, he slowly approached the end of the huge stone chamber where a passage led to the next stone chamber.

At this moment, martial artists were passing through the passage heading towards the next stone chamber.

Ssss—

As the martial artist reached the center of the passage, spikes suddenly shot out from the ground, aiming at the martial artist.

The martial artist, noticing this, immediately dodged by flying away, but it was too late, as the spike trap activated too quickly and was too close. The martial artist could only endure the spike’s assault.

The martial artist wore a Sixth Rank defensive magical treasure.

Everyone thought the martial artist could withstand the trap.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the spikes instantly pierced through the Sixth Rank magical treasure on the martial artist, killing them on the spot.

"The power of this trap is terrifying."

Su Yun and the others were stunned by the trap, exclaiming in awe.

Even they might find it difficult to deal with such a trap.

And now, though aware of the trap’s immense danger, those water bandits, tempted by the opportunities in the ruins, didn’t give up, continuing to move through the passage.

With over a hundred people dead to the trap, others finally began to feel afraid.

Over a hundred people died, and barely around ten managed to pass, who all were martial artists of the Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer.

Seeing this, some began to retreat in fear.

Originally there were eight to nine hundred water bandits, now only a little over two hundred passed, while others attempted but were deterred by the trap.

Lin Chen scrutinized the trap before him, noticing the spikes and spears were higher-grade than the previous silver needles, clearly Sixth Rank treasures, making Lin Chen envious.

This passage’s trap was also much more complex than the first gate’s silver needles, as this second gate not only had spears shooting out from the sides, but spikes falling from the ground and overhead too.

Among Lin Chen’s team, besides Lin Chen, Su Yun and Su Lie had the highest chances of passing through this passage, but the other Ninth and Eighth Layer Nirvana Realm martial artists would struggle.

However, at this moment, everyone halted as there were still five to six hundred water bandits remaining.

Though this second passage was yet to be passed, there were other small passages in this stone house, though they were dead ends, some rooms connected housed treasures.

The water bandits dispersed into those narrow passages seeking treasures, giving Su Yun and others an idea.

The remaining Su family members thought of eliminating these water bandits to directly seize their treasures.

Although this approach was somewhat bandit-like, with these water bandits, there was no need to speak of chivalry in the underworld. Besides, their mission was to eliminate these water bandits.

Instantly, the Su family men armed with treasures rented from Lin Chen rushed towards the water bandits.

Lin Chen did not intervene, instead, he slowly moved towards the second passage.

Though the traps in the second passage were extremely dangerous, they posed no threat to Lin Chen.

With the Abyssal Eye present, Lin Chen could foresee all dangers in advance.
