Chapter 752: Chapter 318 Endless Prison_2
Just driven by sheer curiosity.
But unexpectedly, before taking many steps, I’ve already lost myself in this underground corridor.
Looking back suddenly, I discovered, to my surprise, the appearance of numerous entrances behind me.
Which one did I come from? I couldn’t tell for a moment.
After searching all the way back and not finding the entrance I came from, I finally gritted my teeth and decided to continue exploring further inside.
Then I realized that this place is truly fraught with danger and perilous crises.
Only because of Xu Lu, relying on the supreme Qinggong from Immortal Trace Mysterious Record, did I manage to turn peril into safety time after time.
If it were anyone else, without my master Su Mo’s world-leading divine martial arts, they would surely die in this corridor.
Although the traps here can do nothing against Xu Lu, the difficulties of getting out are almost insurmountable.
“If this continues, I, Xu Lu, with my martial arts still imperfect, might truly die here…”
“What the hell is this place?”
He didn’t know that this was the Endless Prison.
The so-called Endless Prison is constructed atop an Array, with every corridor, every connection, having its own mystery.
If it were a complete Endless Prison, even without any traps, once you fall into it, you could never walk out.
Endless and boundless, with no end in sight.
Further combined with various formidable traps, once you step in, if you’re not killed by the traps, you’ll starve to death.
It’s a pity that the person who built this Endless Prison originally did not have a complete blueprint.
Creating the Endless Prison from what they could deduce, although they managed to barely complete it with their own talent and ability, the effect was greatly reduced.
Xu Lu, being a legendary thief, only survived through many life-and-death situations to this point.
He patted his face gently, stood up holding the One-legged Copper Man, and was about to continue exploring when he suddenly heard a faint voice echoing in the corridor.
He was slightly stunned: “Have I become so delirious that there’s even something wrong with my ears?”
In all this time here, apart from the sounds of the traps operating, I heard no other noise.
Where did this sudden woman’s voice come from?
After pondering a bit, Xu Lu was covered in a cold sweat.
“Could it be… is it… a ghost?”
The thought of this possibility made Xu Lu subconsciously tighten his grip on the One-legged Copper Man in his arms.
As if this extremely heavy weapon could offer him some sense of security.
But he soon shook his head:
“No no, Master once said that there are no real ghosts in this world; all ghosts are made up by people.
“What’s there to fear about ghosts? The human heart is more treacherous and far more dangerous than any specter…”
These were the words Su Mo told him before he became his disciple.
Because previously, Xu Lu had been so scared by the Ghost Lady that it was truly embarrassing, to the extent that he couldn’t even muster his Qinggong.
Su Mo never ceased to tease him about it.
At this moment, recalling those words, Xu Lu immediately mustered up his spirits and went searching towards the source of the voice.
With great caution, after a short while, as he reached the end of the corridor, he stepped into a transverse corridor.
Standing there looking left and right, the transverse corridor appears to curve, and on the side next to Xu Lu, there are all entrances.
“Could it be that many entrances from all over Wusheng Hall lead to this place?”
Xu Lu pondered in his heart, and by now, he could hear the woman’s voice clearer and more distinct.
It was a series of mournful sobs.
“It sounds… even more like a ghost now.”
Xu Lu shivered internally, but after gritting his teeth, he decided to investigate further.
Following the sound, in just a short time, he arrived at a bare wall.
“The voice is coming from inside the wall…”
Xu Lu looked around for a moment, then bent his finger and gently tapped around the wall.
After a short time, his eyes lit up, he pressed down on a green stone, and it went down suddenly.
In the next moment, the Stone Gate in the wall retracted upwards.
Revealing a room.
The sobbing in the room came to an abrupt halt, and as Xu Lu looked inside, he saw a woman lying on the bed, blindfolded and motionless.
But now she softly inquired:
“Is it… is it my senior brother?”
Hearing this, Xu Lu let out a huge sigh of relief. For her to ask this, she clearly couldn’t be a ghost.
How could a ghost have a senior brother?
Well… I can’t be too certain of that.
What if the “ghost” died together with a senior brother?
While Xu Lu was wildly speculating in his mind, he approached the bedside, carefully extending two fingers and touching the woman’s wrist.
“There’s a pulse…”
This fact eased Xu Lu’s mind completely.
“Who are you? What kind of person are you? Don’t come any closer!”
The girl’s eyes were blindfolded, she couldn’t see who the newcomer was, and could only feel the person fidgeting with her, terror evident in her voice.
Xu Lu hurriedly said:
“Don’t be afraid, young lady, I am not a bad person.
“It’s just that I stumbled upon this place by mistake, but unexpectedly, I found the young lady trapped here…”
As he spoke, he also asked, “It seems the young lady’s acupoints have been sealed. I will unseal them for you. For my presumptuousness, I ask for your forgiveness.”
“…Unseal? It’s no use, the person who sealed my acupoints has a very potent technique. If Young Hero is kind-hearted and willing to help, please help me find my senior brother…”
