Chapter 55 (1/2)

The fuse of the bomb was burning extremely slowly. Wei Huo initially assumed that the bomb was powerful, so he dragged Wei Sha and hid behind a wall. However, the bomb still did not explode even after 30 seconds of waiting. Wei Huo was left speechless. Bombs like this were probably only effective with wooden walls and not anything tougher than that.

Wei Huo started counting the seconds; 59 seconds after fuse ignition, the bomb caused a huge explosion. The insides of the ruins were instantly lit up by the explosion glare. The explosion shocks cleared the dust on the ground, and the ruins seemed to have swayed for a moment. Dust and gravel fell from above, and cracks began appearing on several pillars.

Wei Huo was lost for words. “…”

‘The bomb was a little too powerful, wasn’t it?’

Wei Huo walked over and found that the tough wooden wall was blown to pieces. The wooden wall which was protected by the game rules, was indeed no match for the bomb that was also empowered by the same rules.

Wei Huo saw the view behind the wall. There was a giant maze made with wooden walls, and Wei Huo could see the corner of this maze clearly through God View. The only way to move forward was to keep bombing their way in.

But… there were only two bombs left!

Wei Huo began using God View to study his way in. He could clearly see the locations of the wooden walls nearby.

Wei Huo walked around and realized that there were no other exits nearby. He could only use bombs to blow up the wooden walls, and he had to bomb them one after another.

Two bombs were definitely not enough!

Just as Wei Huo was deliberating upon this, three other bombs appeared at the maze’s starting point out of nowhere.

Wei Huo would not have realized them if it was not for God View.

“A refresh happened?” Wei Huo walked towards the entrance and found those three bombs. The bombs seemed to reappear every ten minutes. Wei Huo picked up the bombs and waited for another refresh to happen. However, five minutes later, the blown-up wooden wall was restored.

Wei Huo was shocked.

“Are wooden walls refreshed every 15 minutes?”

The bombs reappeared at the maze’s starting point every ten minutes. They were indeed powerful. Even if they were not used to blow up the walls, they could still be used elsewhere or even sold for money. When the time halt ends, this location would definitely be a hotspot for players.

Nonetheless, Wei Huo was only using these bombs to destroy the wooden walls. He wanted to bomb his way out.

But this bomb was taking a full minute to blow up…

Boom!

Another loud noise could be heard.

The wooden wall exploded into pieces and shocked the ground. Dust was flying everywhere.

Wei Huo grabbed four bombs and went into the maze again. He moved towards the nearest wooden walls with the help of God View. After blowing up another three wooden walls, Wei Huo found a treasure chest.

This was a wooden treasure chest. It was not locked, nor did it glowing. It seemed like a normal treasure chest but of course, it could be a Mimic [1] as well.

Wei Huo walked over and studied it. He shielded himself with his inner Qi before reaching for the treasure chest to open it.

Just as Wei Huo reached for it, the treasure chest jumped. Wei Huo was shocked, and he threw a punch at it.

The treasure chest flew and howled. It sounded like a dog’s howls after getting kicked.

Wei Huo looked closer and realized that the treasure chest had opened its mouth which was full of fangs and a bright red tongue. The Mimic stuck its tongue out and started panting like a puppy. “Haa, haa!”

Wei Huo was confused. ‘Is this a dog?’

The Mimic ran towards Wei Huo and circled him. It was sniffing Wei Huo’s pants while circling him and moments later, it started going around in circles before spitting out a bone.

Wei Huo was confused. “???”
