Chapter 1116 - Silver Treasure Box! (2/2)
When he fell to the ground, Happy used a palm-generated wind with hidden force contained in it to weaken his momentum as he fell. Then, Happy looked up and could not help but sigh. ‘What a powerful trap. If I didn’t notice it with my spiritual sense earlier on… I guess even a martial artist who is One with the World will not be able to withstand such a fierce attack.
‘As expected of the best barbaric merchant in the world. This trap alone is enough to keep his treasure safe no matter how many people come here.’ Happy could only bemoan his inadequacy as he looked at the treasure box that was dozens of feet apart from him.
Just now, the sword qi he used to cut the chains had not only not managed to cut the chains, it had not even managed to cause even the slightest bit of damage on it. Even if he attacked it from below, it was impossible for him to destroy the chains and get the treasure box.
When he remembered the elegant floral patterns on the six faces of the silver treasure box, Happy could not help but be troubled. “Could it be that those things have the ability to open locks?”
His voice echoed slightly in the hall, but no one responded to Happy’s question.
“Nope. I’m going to try again!”
Even though the terrifying firepower at the fourth level had caused him to have the same sense of danger when Evil Emperor shattered space, if such a terrifying trap and ingenious metallic design was just to protect a silver treasure box, it proved just how important that treasure box was. It could not be compared to the items in those normal treasure houses.
Thud!
Another stone tile was split into two when the sound rose, and Happy grabbed it.
Happy used the same method just now and jumped into the air in the same way. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the place where the iron chains were.
At that moment, the activated trap had returned to silence. However, the numerous holes tightly packed together in the walls around him were still opened.
This time, Happy did not attack the silver treasure box straight away. Instead, he grabbed the iron chain that was the size of a fist.
The iron chains swayed slightly.
The trap did not give Happy any chance. Another round of flying needles shot out.
Happy’s expression changed, and he quickly executed a Thousand Pound Drop. At the instant the sound of springs rose, he plunged down from the sky and escaped from the trap beforehand.
When he landed on the ground again, Happy scowled. ‘So I’ll activate the trap the moment I touch the chains? That’s troublesome.’
It was already hard enough to jump so high into the air, but the silver treasure box was secured on the chains by sturdy metal chains, and even if he touched it, it would cause the huge net of chains to sway, and it would in turn trigger that fatal trap.
As he listened to the continuous stream of sounds echoing high above him, Happy frowned and began thinking.
After half a minute, Happy made his decision to begin his third try.
The layout of this trap was completely different from the treasure houses he experienced in the past.
The treasure house he ran into might be dangerous, but there was a certain element in it that required him to bet his life to clear the trap. But the building here clearly required him to have absolute strength and wit.
Without strength and intelligence, no one could take the silver treasure box away.
Happy reevaluated the silver treasure box and decided to test it using Full Winds in Long Skies to see whether he could forcefully break the chains binding the silver treasure box.
If even the power contained in his strongest move mixed with Full Winds in Long Skies could not do anything against the chains, then it meant that he was not fated to get that treasure chest, and there was no need for him to continue wasting his time in this place.
He would immediately log off and leave this place as well as give up on the treasure box.
Two stone tiles were fired into the air one after another.
If he used the stone tiles to knock against the treasure chest in the distance, he would not activate the trap.
When Happy jumped into the air the third time, he raised his hand and pointed at the treasure chest.
Whoosh!
The spiritual energy of the world in the air swiftly gathered together. It gathered between Happy’s fingers like a vortex, and a milky-white vortex swiftly took shape in the black air.
Sun Finger!
At the instant he executed the ultimate technique that required him to gather together the spiritual energy of the world, a suffocating, powerful presence went charging steadily at the silver box on the chains as Happy slowly pushed his finger forward.
Then, in the air, the second, third, fourth, and fifth milky white vortices with astonishing presences were formed as Happy executed Sun Finger repeatedly.
Thud!
When the first Sun Finger crashed against the chains binding the silver treasure box, Happy did not even look at it. He flipped his body upside down, and when his head was directed downward, he stepped on the chains. At the instant the trap was activated, he shot to the ground at an even faster speed.
The sounds that were similar to locusts rose once more above him.
Boom!
When he was close to the ground, he executed a palm-generated wind, and when the powerful qi wave pushed back at him, his speed swiftly decreased. He then steadily flipped his body around and stepped on the floor.
It was only at that moment that Happy had time to observe the situation of the silver box once more. He tried to look at the effect of his full-powered strike.
Before he had his spiritual sense spread out, a faint sound of something rushing in the air suddenly rose, and something fell from above.
Happy’s spiritual sense instantly locked down on the item that caused the sound in the dark space. He could not help but release a light gasp. He grabbed the air, and he seized the item that landed beside him.
When he unfurled his hand, he saw a thin chain that had been broken in half.
He sucked in a deep breath. Happy was able to immediately recognize that this was the thin chain that bound the silver treasure box. The place where it had been snapped showed that the impact from a force had directly snapped it in half.
When he saw this, Happy could not help but have joy appear on his face. He looked up.
‘I made it!’
Even though the thin chains binding the silver treasure box was sturdy, the high damage in Sun Finger combined with Full Winds in Long Skies was enough to destroy it.
‘With just three more times, I will be able to take down the silver treasure box.’
When he thought about how he was about to unravel the mystery behind the silver treasure box, Happy was delighted. He put away the snapped chain into his Universe Bag, sat down, and circulated his qi to recover it while he waited for Full Winds in Long Skies to finish cooling down.
But at that moment, the Buddha statue with the stern and dignified face not far away opened its eyes right before Happy, and a fierce light shot out of its eyes.
Two ghastly lights that were like will-o’-the-wisps suddenly lit up in the dark hall. Even Happy could not help but feel his skin crawl, and fear rose in his heart.
