Chapter 116 Secret Passage

Alphonse asked Tessie to collect the herbs, "Let's continue exploring downwards."

"There are several passages here, which one should we take?" Mia searched around and found several forked roads.

"Just pick any one." Alphonse said nonchalantly.

After passing through the forest, Alphonse and his party walked into a corridor.

Medio took a long breath and waved his wand, "Ah, my magic perception has finally been restored!"

"I don't know how the fog is generated, but it actually affects your perception." Alphonse replied casually and continued to move forward.

The passage was quite dark, but with the light coming from outside, I could barely see the situation ahead.

Alphonse has discovered many bat corpses on the ground.

Apparently, some adventurers passed here before this.

After walking for a while, Medio suddenly said "Hey" and got close to the wall, "Wait! There seems to be a space behind here!"

Mia, who followed closely behind, nodded and confirmed, "I sensed it too."

Taixi raised his hand and hammered the wall in confusion, but there was only a dull sound.

His perception ability is far inferior to Mia and Medeo, so he can only make judgments firsthand.

Just based on the reflection of sound, you can't tell whether there is space behind the wall.

"We must have found a secret passage. There must be an open mechanism near here." Medio groped around with the stone bricks on the surrounding walls with great interest.

Alphonse also showed interest.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed Medio's collar, and lifted him aside like a kitten, "Be careful, don't touch around."

Then he added, "You all get out of the way."

It is definitely a bit troublesome to find the mechanism hub, and it will take some time at least, but it is much easier to crack it through brute force.

Although Medio was a little dissatisfied, he could only angrily follow Tessie and retreat to the side.

"Let me do it." Mia pulled out her long sword and broke through a wall. It was easy for her.

"No need, I'll just come."

A thick black light condensed on Alphonse's palm, and he blasted out the "Black Gold Armor Sunder" against the wall.

The other hand also gathered enough strength to prepare for unexpected situations.

Although the wall is thick, it cannot withstand the powerful bombardment of Xuantian Wujin Palm.

boom! A loud noise.

Dust is flying.

The wall made of heavy stone bricks shattered into pieces, and the stones rolled down.

There are no other abnormalities.

What appeared in front of Alphonse and others was a deep and dark narrow passage with downward stone steps leading down.

"Sure enough, there is a secret passage!" Medio exclaimed happily.

For those who come to explore and hunt for treasures, there is no point in just following the path that others have taken.

Of course, we have to take a path that has not been explored by adventurers.

"I'll get a torch." Taixi suggested. There was a large forest outside the corridor. It was very simple to find some dead branches to make a torch.

"No need! Have you forgotten that I am a magician?" Medio finally got another chance to show off his magic and quickly recited the spell silently.

In an instant, a small ball of light was held in his hand.

Although it is not very bright, it is still much better than a torch, and it is enough for lighting.

"Not bad." Alphonse nodded approvingly. It was quite convenient to have a magician in the team.

"Medio, follow me, Mia, stay behind."

Alphonse finished his sentence and took the lead, walking down the stone steps. The stairs are not too long, only thirty or forty steps, and we have reached the bottom.

Connected to the stairs is a straight corridor.

This passage is very dark, but with Medio's lighting technique, you can see clearly what's ahead.

There seemed to be nothing unusual, but Alphonse still noticed something was wrong and stopped.

Medio was following closely, but he didn't expect that Alphonse would suddenly stop and press his head against his back.

"Hey~ what are you doing? Why don't you leave?"

"There is a mechanism in front." With his keen insight, Alphonse noticed that there were several rows of small holes hidden in the gaps between the stone bricks on the walls on both sides.

It's hard to spot without looking carefully.

How could one not be cautious when entering a secret passage that has never been visited before?

People with too much energy tend to die early.

This mechanism is still quite rough and leaves too many traces.

Although Alphonse is not proficient in mechanism skills, he still has some experience in breaking into the underground palaces left behind by his senior masters in his previous life.

After a brief inspection, I already had a guess in my heart.

There are holes on both sides, and the key to triggering the mechanism must be the floor tiles under your feet.

If those who come to take risks are not prepared, they may get caught.

He raised his hand and flicked his fingers together, and small sword balls condensed from the sword energy shot out, hitting the floor tiles in front of him, causing gravel to fly.

Cold fog rose, ice flowers spread out and bloomed on the floor tiles, and the temperature in the passage dropped sharply.

The hidden mechanism was triggered instantly.

Phew! Phew! Phew! .

Amidst the sharp screams, a rain of arrows as dense as locusts shot out from the holes on the two walls, and they were nailed to the walls.

Medio gripped the wand tightly in fear. If Alphonse hadn't been walking in front, noticed something strange, and just walked over, he would have been shot into a hedgehog.

If you don't prepare in advance, you won't have time to activate the magic shield, and even if it is used, it may not be able to block this dense rain of arrows.

It wasn't just arrows, there were several holes in the ground in front of them.

Danger not only comes from both sides, but there are also traps underground.

After all, the mechanism is a dead thing, and the arrows hidden there are not endless.

In the blink of an eye, the sound stopped.

Alphonse was still a little worried and fired another round of 'Bounce Sword'.

Seeing that no mechanism was triggered this time, he said, "Let's go."

When passing by those pits, Medio was a little scared. At the bottom of the pits, there were extremely sharp thorns. If he fell in, the end would definitely not be good.

Alphonse is extremely calm. He has been in the world for many years and has never seen any big storms. Such an organization is just childish.

If the person who set up the mechanism is more sinister, what he shoots out is not arrows, but poisonous mist, venom, or fire.

At the end of the corridor is a tightly fitting iron door. The door has two pages, is arched, and is rusty. You can still see the delicate lines on it.

For safety reasons, Alphonse fired a few more rounds of 'Bounce Sword'.

Kenmaru hit the iron door loudly, leaving many dents and rust, but the door failed to open.

There is a keyhole in the middle of the door, so it should be locked.

There is a secret passage and the door is so exquisite. It is not impossible to say that there is a treasure room inside.

"My perception is blocked again, and I can't detect what's going on behind the door. Let me do it this time!" Mia stepped forward holding the long sword.

"Yes." Medio reacted belatedly at this moment, and his magic perception also failed in front of this door.
