268 Life and Death Circui (1/2)

The Shadow Ninja had disappeared!

When Happy entered the tunnel, he moved down, but he did not see even a single ninja. He did not sense the chilling aura that made his hair rise from the shadows of the cave. Ever since the Shadow Ninja retreated from the main hall, it was as if she had vanished into thin air. The abnormal situation made him feel a hint of uneasiness.

Usually, a situation like that would mean that the Shadow Ninja had become certain that she could not complete her task on her own and had returned into the depths of the royal mausoleum in search for helpers. She was prepared to rely on the other ninjas to attract her target's attention while she attacked from the dark.

That was something that Happy did not want to see.

If he were his previous self, who had entered the royal mausoleum when he was already in Life and Death Realm, forget a Shadow Ninja, even if he ran into a Ninja King, who was dressed in gold armor, he would not be the slightest bit afraid.

However, right then, his strength was still not enough for him to sweep through the entire royal mausoleum. Not only did he not have All-direction Agility, he did not have a high-tier throwing knife technique either. He also did not have four-echelon equipment nor a suitable martial art.

He only had Seven Stars Sword Style, which he had barely mastered. It was not even in Grandmaster Realm. He could perhaps go up against a Shadow Ninja, but if he had to fight against more ninjas, he would not have an easy time. He would not be able to be very attentive and cover every aspect while he fought.

However, this did not stop him from entering deep into the royal mausoleum.

During the early stages of World of Martial Arts, some of the normal ninjas, such as Knife-throwing Ninjas, Japanese Ninjas, and Cloning Ninjas, could drop high-grade masterpieces that could make many large sects go mad with greed over them. The drop rate for them was not low either.

The rare Shadow Warriors moving about in the royal mausoleum were all in Life and Death Realm, and they had a 100% drop rate for high-grade masterpieces. If anyone ran into supreme grade Shadow Warriors, they might even have the chance to get two pieces from them. Besides, there were also three to five Shadow Ninjas in one level. They could drop supreme grade masterpieces and some unique items.

In one round of the royal mausoleum, the number of masterpieces a person could obtain was extremely high!

If Beautiful Robes Faction could obtain such wealth, their overall strength and financial ability would increase by more than a level!

However, if Beautiful Robes Faction acted together with the other sects, there was a possibility that the resources would be divided. Hence, Happy charged forward first and ignored a few side halls and forks on the map. He set his sights on the path leading to the depths of the royal mausoleum.

On his way, aside from the three side halls at the very front of the tunnel, each of the small halls he encountered later on had a brocade box that was in perfect condition and exuded a dignified air that only belonged to items placed in palaces.

Happy did not even look at them.

He knew that each of those boxes contained an item that was worth thousands of gold. It could be considered to be a small fortune. However, Happy knew that there were a few ninjas hidden near each box, and once he opened them, he would trigger traps. If he ran into Japanese Ninjas, they would be easy to deal with, but if he ran into Knife-throwing Ninjas or Cloning Ninjas, it would be very troublesome.

Knife-throwing Ninjas never fought against players in close-quarter combat, and their movements were brilliant. He would need to chase after them for a long time before he could kill them, and the throwing knives they threw repeatedly were not to be underestimated. They were a real handful.

Cloning Ninjas were even more bothersome. They could create an illusory copy of themselves that looked exactly the same as their real selves and even had half of their combat ability. As long as the real ninja did not die, the clone would not die as well.

Being surrounded by three ninjas who did not fear death was no easier than chasing down and killing a Knife-throwing Ninja.

Hence, Happy would rather not take those brocade boxes. He moved past them and headed into the depths of the royal mausoleum!

His Phantasm Body Movement Skill was much faster than Cloud Treading Steps. After a few minutes, a huge pile of stones appeared in front of him. The paths to his left and right connected together and formed a tunnel that was made of two squares with one contained by the other.

The tunnel was rather large, and it resembled the main hall. However, the inside was very quiet, and not a single sound could be heard.

Happy frowned slightly and came to a stop.

He brought out a map from his Universe Bag which had the royal mausoleum's topography. The red dot that symbolized him was right in front of the entrance to a huge hall made by tunnels that formed two squares with one contained by the other. The sides of the hall had rather conspicuous small halls that were formed by concaves on the wall of the main hall. In truth, he could see some of the corners in the small halls as well as that there were tables that seemed to be made of gold and wood inside.

Happy's gaze gradually darkened.

'I'm here!'

Life and Death Circuit: the second danger zone after Ghost Face Wall, which was the first danger zone in the royal mausoleum.

”I won't be able to run from this battle, huh?”

Happy laughed bitterly and put away his map.
