Sword Among Us Chapter 933

Happy had just opened the door, and four traps were triggered in succession, and the group from Hunter Clan, who stayed outside, considered themselves lucky for not challenging the place.

The traps came from four different directions.

The left, right, from above, and right ahead of Happy.

Even top-class elites will have a hard time instantaneously blocking hidden weapons that came from everywhere or even dodging them accurately while keeping their composure.

This caused them to consider themselves lucky for not having the thought of exploring the houses in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts in the past.

Opening the door itself was already incredibly difficult and dangerous, and following that line of logic, there was not even a need to imagine just how dangerous it will be inside!

The group of people stared at the house, which had become silent once more, with storms raging in their hearts. They did not want to leave even after a long time had passed.

'What an ingenious trap.'

Happy also had his fighting spirit lit by how well the house decided to “take care” of him when he was still outside, but at the moment he went inside the house, he quickly sensed that there was an abnormal and dangerous scent filling the house. It was rather fragrant, and it was one that will cause people to feel dazed.

This scent will also make a person feel at ease, and their movements will also slow down.

'This is bad! It's poison!'

When he noticed that the scent in the house was off, Happy wanted to bring out his antidote, but very soon, a feeling as if he was being dragged came suddenly from the floor.

His feet slipped.

The patterns on the floor suddenly looked as if they had become alive, and like a huge, gaping mouth, it closed up on him with a loud whoosh and bound Happy.

'Wild silk?'

Happy was caught off guard, and he instantly fell into the trap. The threads instantly tightened around him, and he was bound so tightly that he was like a dumpling before he was hung in the air.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Right when the trap formed by the wild silk was triggered, it immediately activated the traps from four directions in the hall. The sound of springs were heard, and black holes opened up before arrows shot out from them.

Dozens of arrows went flying at him from all directions when Happy was lifted into the air, was bound, and could not break free.

In an instant, a situation guaranteeing certain death was formed!

'Loyalty to Protect the Country!'

Due to the shock triggered by this life and death situation, Happy finally forced himself to snap out of the control from the strange fragrance in the house. His gaze turned cold, and at the moment the arrows were about to touch him, an old, golden bell rose from him, and it perfectly knocked away all the arrows with a tremor.

The arrows fell to the floor with tinkling sounds.

All sorts of traps were then activated, and a wave of hidden weapons came flying at him violently in the house.

Needles as fine as hair shot out from the gaps in the door to the side, crossbow bolts shot out of the box nailed to the wall, red fog gushed out of the jewelry box, a steel fence even came down over the door to the room by his side, the doors, windows, were all shut tightly with a bang, and fierce flames began burning madly.

When he saw this, even if Happy was brave because of how skilled he was, he still broke out in cold sweat.

He was stunned for two or three seconds while he watched the disorderly and dangerous room from above as well as the fire burning in the room next door, and he gulped laboriously.

“Which bastard designed so many darn traps over here?” Happy cursed while fear pounded in his heart. “It's no wonder why even top-class elites don't dare to come inside and take risks. This isn't even taking risks anymore, but going off to die…”

Fortunately, he fell into the first trap, which was why he didn't need to be tormented by all the strange traps in the room, or else, he might have actually gone mad by now.

There was also the room to the side. There were two big boxes inside, but once the steel fence came down and the doors as well as windows were shut, it immediately turned into an airtight, enclosed compartment made of steel. It was burning fiercely inside right now, and anyone who went inside will not even be able to come out.

Half a minute passed, and that strange fragrance was still wafting around his nose.

Happy felt as if there was fog in his mind, and he really wanted to sleep.

'Darn it… there's poison as well?'

Happy had the great urge to kill someone right now.

He had not even seen any treasure when he came inside, but he already ran into three traps that guaranteed certain death.

One of them was a fragrant poison that can cause a person's nerves to become numb and his or her movements to slow down.

One was an airtight metallic cage filled with fire.

And the last was the wild silk trap that currently bound him.

When he thought about the wild silk that bound him, Happy really wanted to curse that barbaric merchant to his death.

He actually used such a precious and noble item to kill! But there was something worse: wild silk cannot be damaged by normal weapons, and even supreme grade weapons will have a hard time cutting it off.

Once a person was bound, the more he struggled, the tighter it will bind him!

In the end, wild silk can even bind a person so tightly that it can disfigure him, and he will suffocate to death.

'No. I have to think of a way to break free of this stupid wild silk…

'The other Chen Kaixin can read information over here from my brain. If that little brat knows that I, Happy, who can command the world as I please, ends up dead by wild silk all because I don't have those ultimate techniques, he'll definitely laugh at me…'

His gaze turned cold, and Happy began using various methods to break free.

He tried shrinking his bones, but it did not work.

Wild silk was incredibly pliable and tough. If he shrank, it will immediately bind him tighter, and it was absolutely meaningless.

Golden Bell Cocoon!

He activated his body fortification.

A feeling as if he had countless sharp objects prodding into him immediately assaulted his senses.

Those accursed wild silk had an effect on body fortifications. It can completely suppress it.

But what was strange was that at the moment his body was injured, Happy suddenly sensed Tendon Changing Classic activating on its own.

A faint qi flow slowly circulated in his meridian system.

Aside from the pain on his body diminishing slightly, that qi flow also seemed to be beginning the trip of widening his meridian system slightly. In fact, most of that strange fragrance in the whole house that caused him to be slightly dazed was chased away, and his mind became much clearer.

“Hmm?” This bizarre situation caused Happy to be incredibly excited!

He quickly meditated so that he can use inner sight to observe his body.

Just as he expected, as wild silk tightened around him, Tendon Changing Classic activated on its own, and the level for this qi cultivation technique also began slowly increasing.

Aside from that, the increase for his Affinity also began increasing much faster than the three full circulations he performed everyday.

It seemed like pain and injuries will activate Tendon Changing Classic, and at the same time, it will also refine Happy's Affinity and body.

This shocking discovery caused Happy to be incredibly stunned. He quickly calmed down from his nerves and was no longer in a hurry to get out of his current predicament.

Happy tried to get rid of Golden Bell Cocoon so that he can just use his physical body to withstand the pressure from the wild silk binding him.

However, while the pain decreased, it made him descend into a greater state of discomfort.

Tendon Changing Classic also stopped working. That fragrance that made his mind dizzy crept into his lungs again, and his mind became dazed once more.

He activated Golden Bell Cocoon again.

At the same time his body became sturdy, he immediately felt the tough wild silk sinking into his body, and sharp pain spread through his entire body.

Tendon Changing Classic was activated on its own again. His meridian system became wider, and his qi began circulating madly in his body. The pain was reduced, and his mind also became clearer.

'I knew it, I have to use Golden Bell Cocoon before I can activate Tendon Changing Classic again.'

Happy became utterly convinced that the abnormality in Tendon Changing Classic was related to Golden Bell Cocoon. At the same time, it was also related to the damage dealt on him by the wild silk binding him.

'Very well, since I can't free myself right now, I won't leave. After all, the poison in my body has already been ejected from my body by Tendon Changing Classic. I might as well use the chance to train Tendon Changing Classic, and I can push it to the third realm.' Happy quickly came to a decision, and he also swiftly remembered his current attributes.

[Happy:

[AFF: 268

[AST: 263

[BMM: 258

[CPH: 277

[Qi: 626]

He shut his eyes, and Happy ignored everything else while he sensed the amazing improvements Tendon Changing Classic brought to his body while it worked together with Golden Bell Cocoon to fight against the force from the wild silk on his body.

His body became incredibly sturdy with Golden Bell Cocoon covering his skin, but the more this was the case, the more the wild silk will leave behind deep marks on Happy's body because of gravitational pull. His body had to endure damage continuously.

But since Happy remained still, the damage on him started slowing down once it reached a certain degree.

However, everytime Tendon Changing Classic was activated to widen his meridian system and agitate his blood as well as his flesh, causing him to be able to recover quickly from the damage on his body. It was as if a deep trench that was dug into him was filled up.

But very soon, the wild silk dug deep into his body once more.

Those trenches were filled again.

This process repeated itself, and level for Tendon Changing Classic started increasing again when it was at Level 12.01.

His Affinity would also increase from time to time as time passed.

Meanwhile, his qi began increasing at an inconspicuous speed.

As this went on, Happy could practically perform one full circulation in half an hour.

His body remained unable to move while he was bound and hung in the air by wild silk.

But the poisonous air in the house could absolutely not invade his body anymore. While Happy breathed, he slowly stirred up the air around him.

The sounds of him breathing gradually became clear in the house. It sounded like a huge beast was breathing loudly but rhythmically in the house.

Happy was already completely immersed in this process!

The members from Hunter Clan waited for more than half an hour outside the house, and by then, they completely lost their patience.

“Why is there still no movement inside after so long?”

“Could he already be…?”

“He might be thinking about a way to break the traps inside. We've never experienced what happens in the houses before, and no one knows what goes on in there.”

“Do we continue waiting?” Someone became impatient.

Even though they were curious about Happy, who happened to be a famous elite from a long time ago, it was very boring for them to continue waiting so dryly.

“It's a pity that the house is filled with traps, and the building is also made of metal, so it's not easy to break in. We won't be able to get in after him, or else, we can go in and take a look, but since that's not possible, it would be good if we can hear what's going on inside as well, but darn it, why is the sound proof system so good?”

There were also some who felt incredibly excited.

Someone suddenly said, “Actually, it'll be very easy to know whether he's safe or not. We can just ask someone to help figure out his location.”

“The fees to investigate a person is going higher and higher by the minute. Are you going to pay for it?”

“Let's all fork out money for it. We can collect money from those who are curious.” The Gu poison user suggested with sparkling eyes.

The group looked at each other and nodded.

The fees to figure out a person's location now was very high, and they will need to pay up more than ten thousand taels of silver. However, there were more than ten people in their party. If each person only needed to pay one thousand taels of silver, they will not feel the burden of having to fork out a large sum of money.

Once the party discussed with each other, they made a decision.

At that moment, there were plenty of people who conducted a business where they were specifically in charge of receiving and spreading information. In fact, they had even formed a specialized organization for it.

Once the party leader of Hunter Clan posted this task, he soon received a reply.

[Haha, looks like you're in luck today. There's someone who has been continuously buying Happy's location. Based on our rules, we will only receive half the fees from you. The person you're currently looking for is in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts, and his coordinates are…]

When they saw the information in the letter from the messenger pigeon, the group of people finally calmed down.

The coordinates indicated that the spot was very close to them, which meant that Happy was still in the house and was not in danger.

“Wait, didn't they say in the letter that someone has been continuously searching for Happy's location?” The Gu poison user suddenly noticed another piece of information on the letter.

Right when she finished speaking, footsteps and the sounds of robes fluttering suddenly rose from the courtyard outside!
