Chapter 158: Chapter 148: Farewell Invisible Bridge_2

If Gapar were here, he would be thrilled; he’s always wanted to learn magic.

These "Luminous Stones" seem so familiar, as if the professors at the Magic Association mentioned something similar; maybe they would be interested in this place.

Leon thought to himself, he rarely had any contact with people from the Magic Association, and he’d heard they weren’t too pleasant. Best to inform Drew and let him decide whether or not to approach the magic professors.

Although it’s highly unlikely, he had seen Drew curse the professors out all night long, not even repeating a single swear word.

After defeating the Elite Monster, the monsters’ strength was enhanced, and correspondingly, the adventurers could keep up with the pace of enhancement thanks to the blessings, as long as the effects of the blessings weren’t too detrimental.

Using the blessing: Tomb King’s Great Sword Dance, Leon cleared out the remaining monsters and moved on to the next level for more skirmishes.

The intensity of combat inside the Meat Pigeon is much higher than in the outside world, after all, you just keep advancing through the levels as long as you don’t die. Even in Fran Fort, there are still some rest areas where monsters might not disturb you occasionally, and the density of monsters isn’t that high.

Prolonged combat is a pressure for adventurers, but it’s also an opportunity. The so-called combat experience and intuition are gained through copious battles; there aren’t that many natural-born geniuses.

The strength gained from the blessings may disappear after leaving the Meat Pigeon, but the sensation of having been enhanced and reaching a new realm remains in the mind, which can be considered insight.

Experiencing a higher realm of combat insight in advance is a rare opportunity for those who wish to improve their martial art.

The fastest to progress is Dal; the two blessings of [Abyss Infection] and [Abyss Watcher] form a loop, with each time leap deepening his infection and enhancing his power.

When the infection reached halfway, he felt like he could even arm-wrestle with the Sword Saint!

But this was his delusion; the Abyss Infection made his mental state somewhat arrogant.

Together, they defeated the second Elite Monster, and no painting fragments dropped this time. Perhaps the drop rate for these items is naturally low, and Leon was just lucky last time.

"Are you okay?" Leon asked while looking at Dal, whose body was starting to ooze black mud, with concern.

"I’m fine, I’m feeling great!" Dal had never felt as good as he did now, brimming with inexhaustible energy, as the Abyss Infection had gone beyond halfway.

Not knowing what to say, Leon opened the Teleportation Treasure Box and entered the next room.

Will the next challenge be a battle or an event? Hopefully, it’ll be an event; I prefer to see the story unfold.

He thought so, yet the scene appearing before him made his knees tremble.

This wasn’t one of those identical rooms; it was... a great canyon swept by fierce winds.

They stood on the edge of a cliff, and there seemed to be something on the opposite side, almost a kilometer away!

There was nothing in between, how to cross?

Leon missed Drew; if only he could use the Flying Skill.

[The Magician from Reyalucaria has developed a technique known as the Invisible Bridge, inviting you to be a tester]

[The further you travel on the Invisible Bridge, the more generous the reward from the Magician]

[But be aware, the traps on the bridge are also invisible]

"Invisible Bridge?"

He remembered reading reports about the Invisible Bridge at the adventurer’s guild, with many people encountering such traps in the lower mining areas of Sain Dungeon, but he had never experienced it personally.

"Hoo-hoo~"

The howling wind carried dark clouds, and just standing there felt like being blown over. Leon glanced down at the canyon’s bottomless depths; a fall would leave him black and blue.

So the question was, where should he find the start of the Invisible Bridge?

Seems there’s no need to search because there was a glowing stone floating midair, seemingly hinting at something.

"There’s something here," Dal found a stuffed bag on the ground, full of rainbow stones, these luminous stones could be used to mark the path.

"Let’s... go?" Leon’s lips were a bit dry. Embarrassingly, he was suddenly feeling a bit scared of heights.

Probably caught it from Maru.

The two tossed a rainbow stone forward to test the path, and the pebble firmly stayed in mid-air.

Leon then kneeled on the ground without minding his image and fumbled in the air to see just how wide the Invisible Bridge really was. Finally, he determined it was two meters wide.

Not bad at all, much wider than expected. You could even dance on it.

If they kept tossing rainbow stones to test the path as they went, as long as they were careful, securing full rewards by crossing the Invisible Bridge was just a matter of time.

Leon moved step by cautious step, looking extremely careful. It definitely wasn’t because he was chicken.

After a while, a thought suddenly struck him:

Where are the traps, the legendary traps?

If it was any other dungeon he wouldn’t worry about traps, but this was Sain Dungeon, not a place to let one’s guard down.

"I think I see a trap,"

Dal suddenly pointed ahead. Leon followed his finger and was left speechless.

Less than fifty meters away from them, there were several small, slender Monsters with pointed hoods, suspended in mid-air, looking like they were lying in wait to ambush passersby on the bridge.

This was just too abrupt.

"Why aren’t the Monsters invisible," Leon commented dryly: "That’s so stupid."

"One on each side,"

Dal had already taken up his sword and headed over. The Monsters seemed oblivious to his presence until he stood right in front of them, then they slowly started to climb up with their thin arms.

Dal kicked one down, seemingly enjoying the sensation.

Leon sighed, feeling the trap was a letdown, bland and uninteresting.

Sain Dungeon had lost its edge.

He joined the Monster-kicking party, and really, it was kind of thrilling.

The Monsters fell off the cliff one by one, and in a blink, they were all kicked into oblivion, with both men feeling slightly unsatisfied.

This was purely a reward level.

Leon wiped his forehead and was about to proceed when suddenly, he heard an unusual sound.

"Gollum gollum..."

It sounded like something heavy was rolling their way rapidly.

It was large and spherical; otherwise, it wouldn’t roll with such an oppressive feeling.

Could it be—

An iron ball!?

Leon’s expression turned to one of horror as if he had just realized something wasn’t right, but they hadn’t noticed, engrossed as they were in kicking Monsters.

Now that he thought about it calmly, he realized something.

Those Monsters were bait!
