Hao Ren stood up on his spot, and looking ahead he found an empty corridor, however, he wasn't so naive anymore. He took out the water bottle he had and dropped it on the ground, and the glass bottle shattered into many pieces. The young man picked up all the pieces and used them to gauge the degree of danger.
As soon as the first glass shard touched the ground, a series of geysers erupted from the floor. The geysers were made of acid. Hao Ren observed the situation and clicked his tongue. He clenched his fists and said, "I swear to god, I will beat the Taoists into dumb zombies if they came across me."
The acid they made was so strong that it was eating away at the stone floor. This was the first time Hao Ren saw such a quick corrosion. Then he noticed that the acid evaporated quickly as well. The young man quickly took off his shirt and tore a piece from it before tying it around his nose and mouth, as he lowered his body.
The acidic fumes could cause him to hallucinate, and also suffocate him. He sighed as he looked at the drying water stain next to his feet. Had he not broken the bottle, he could have used the water to drench his shirt and prepare a make shift mask to prevent himself from the harmful fumes.
Anyway, shifting his focus back to the problem, he began to observe the spots on the floor from where the acid geysers had shot up. He overlapped the image of the present scene with the one with geysers and found a few things.
One, the geysers were narrow and they were shot from the floor with great pressure. It was only when the pressure force receded that the acid fell around the floor. The geyser tiles were only present within twenty meters distance and they shot up one after the other in a cascading manner.
Two, if someone was quick enough, they would be able to cover the distance with a few steps and reach the end of the trap. So, if he wanted to survive, it would need a tremendous power outburst from his feet.
Three, he was fucked as their was no wall behind him to be used as a spring board.
Hao Ren took a deep breath and lowered his body. He was crouching and a his weight was shifted forward on his fingers. Hao Ren was in a sprint stance, as if an Olympic athlete, not that they had the concept of Olympics.
Thankfully, no other trap was triggered. The corridor turning left from where he stood. He sighed and used his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his forehead. He took off the cloth tied on his face and stored it inside the space ring. He took out the pieces of glass and tossed them on the floor.
He saw the three meter wide corridor seemed to be turning ahead, but there did not seem to be any trap. Hao Ren frowned, it was a bit too suspicious. He prayed to the gods in heaven and took a step ahead.
As soon as his foot came into contact with the tile, it sank down so much that Hao Ren almost lost his balance and fell ahead. However, he managed to stabilize him and then his attention was caught again by the constant clattering sounds. As he looked up, he found that many tiles fell down in the void, leaving behind stone pillars that were cracked stone pillars.
Hao Ren sucked in a breath, these pillars would crumble as long as he stayed on them for an extended second. Forget that, but looking at the holes on the side walls he was shocked to the core of his being. This was designed for severe injury if not death.
He shook his head and then he dashed. Hao Ren put fear and care to wind and just jumped on from pole to pole as if that was the purpose of his life. He was quick and sharp with his movement like a bunny. With every step forward, the hatred for the Taoists in his mind was increasing.
To save himself from the needles, arrows and the flying chakras, he jumped on the pillars randomly. He only had the time to adjust his weight and move forward before the pillar would crumble with a eerie voice.
After three hours of repeated hops, Hao Ren finally reached the place that was situated at the highest level inside the pyramid. The corridor finished seventy meters behind him, and only high pillars of stone stood in the void for him to continue.
When he landed on the central pillar which was seven meters in diameter, he took a deep breath and fell down on the ground as he said, "Finally, I managed to finish that death course. Motherfuckers, come forward and I will beat your skull in."
A calm voice echoed in the surroundings, "Young fellow, it is bad to curse in the place where elders sleep and disturb them."
Hao Ren sat up straight as his senses tingled. There was a great danger around him, and he would have to face it to finish the final level.
