Chapter 998: All the traps
After Xu Cheng took a deep breath, he laid on the ground and was covered in sweat. After a long time, he sat up straight and sat on the ground. He looked around and then at the entrance of the cave. Then, he looked at the footprints. She was in a daze. He crawled over to the step seal again, squatted down, and carefully observed it. He tried to see through the profoundness of this step seal with his common sense and what he saw. In short, he knew from the test just now that these marks couldnât be guessed randomly and there must be a pattern. But what was the principle behind its setting? Xu Cheng wanted to try again, so he used his own speed to quickly complete all nine steps from the first one. The result was the same as before. He triggered a mechanism, but he dodged quickly and easily dodged it without using the tortoiseshell. Xu Cheng walked back and continued to try. He had gambled on the first step. He took a step forward and the mechanism was activated. After he dodged, he tried the first kick. It was still a trap. After trying for five or six times, he said while panting,ââThere are so many hidden weapons in this mechanism? Wonât it be over? Wonât these arrows become moldy after such a long time?â Although he was complaining, he still couldnât be shot. After all, the arrows were poisonous. These bones were probably experts. The arrows probably wouldnât be fatal to them. The poison should be the fatal one! Xu Chengâs first step didnât trigger the trap. He heaved a sigh of relief. At the very least, it meant that these footprints were indeed a mechanism. Xu Cheng continued to guess for the second time, and there were only 8 footprints left. However, he made the wrong move for the second time, and the trap was still triggered. Fortunately, he dodged it. He came back to guess the second step after the first step. Just like that, an entire day passed. At night, the white light outside the waterfall had already dimmed. Xu Cheng squatted in the corner and munched on a piece of bread. His hands directly reached out of the hole to get some water from the waterfall and poured it into his mouth. Needless to say, this environment had a different feeling. After eating and drinking to his heartâs content, he returned to start a fire and continued to study the mechanisms. He had already probed to the seventh step, and the remaining two steps were actually very easy to guess. When he guessed that he would take the eighth step, there was only one last step left, and he felt that he could open the heavy stone door. However, when he stepped on the last step, there was no movement. Xu Cheng quickly ran over and pushed the stone door hard, but there was still no response. He looked at the mechanism and then at the door. âDamn, donât tell me that these steps are repeated?â Xu Cheng felt like he was about to collapse. He had spent an entire day here. He looked at the waterfall outside. It was already night. If he went out now, he probably wouldnât be able to stay in the village. It was obviously not his style to leave just like that. Since he was already here, he would not be satisfied if he did not go in and see what was going on. In fact, he didnât even need to think to know that there was nothing but gold, silver, and jewelry inside. But, Xu Cheng felt that since his father asked father Lin to tell him that he could come here to take a look when he had no other choice, it must mean that the Xu familyâs genealogy must have recorded that there wasnât just gold, silver, and jewelry here. There must be something that could help him. But Xu Cheng was also very curious. âIf he could help me, then he would have helped my father back then. Why didnât he come here?â Xu Cheng thought. If it was just because his father felt that he had let the family down and deliberately did not come, that was impossible. In the face of life and death, all taboos should be disregarded. After all, the Xu family had reached the point where the bloodline was cut off. But why did he not come? If Xu Cheng knew this would happen, he would have asked Xu banxian this question, or could it be that Xu banxian and his father couldnât do anything about this trap? Xu Cheng walked over to the mechanism and quickly walked through the 9 steps again. He stopped, and just as he was about to study the 10th step, he suddenly felt like his brain had exploded and he was suddenly enlightened. Right! If he had taken these nine steps slowly just now, it wouldnât have been a big deal. However, after he had taken them quickly, he felt a sense of familiarity! Thatâs right, it was a familiar feeling. Xu Cheng subconsciously took those 9 steps again! He seemed to know the next step, but he still wanted to try. So, on the basis of the ninth step, he stepped on the tenth step! Then, he didnât trigger any traps in the surroundings! Xu Chengâs mind suddenly jolted, and he immediately took another step! The mechanism was still not triggered! He was excited. Understood! He finally understood the mechanism behind this mechanism. This step seal was designed based on the Xu family âsâ disorientating steps âincantation of theâ disorientating fist â! This mechanism belonged to the footwork incantation of the lost track incantation! He now understood why his father couldnât come in and open this place. It was because his father didnât learn the lost fist. At that time, the chant of the lost fist had probably been stolen by Zhang chenfeng. Also, the chant and technique of the shadow fist were very difficult to understand or see through, otherwise, it would be impossible for no one in the entire Dragon division to not be able to learn it. Back then, Zhang chenfeng tried to find a successor to replace him, but no one, including bei Shan and the others, was able to learn it, which showed how difficult it was. His father might have talent, but he obviously wasnât suitable for the shadow fist, because he couldnât open this treasure house. After Xu Cheng backed out, he began to practice the steps of the shadow fist. He stepped on the steps again as practice, and after 27 steps, the heavy stone door suddenly opened. Xu Cheng was overjoyed. He quickly backed out of the trap and ran into the stone door with his backpack full of food and fire. There were some iron shelves inside. There were all kinds of weapons on the shelves. Thatâs right, the weapons used by the people of the old world of martial artists were sabers, swords, halberds, Wolf Fang hammers, bone whips, long Spears, and so on. Xu Cheng bitterly smiled,âit canât be thatâs all, right?â Thatâs right, in the era of cold weapons, these tools were the weapons of that time. There are at least tens of thousands of tools here, enough to arm a mountain back then. â To be honest, these weapons were made of high-quality materials. Even if they were used now, they would be worth a lot of money, not to mention that they were antiques. However, all of this was completely useless to Xu Cheng. Xu Cheng sat down on a step and looked at the weapon racks around him. He should have realized that the things that the ancient people were reluctant to part with were too cheap for modern people. There wasnât even a single book on spiritual martial arts on the weapons rack, which disappointed Xu Cheng a little. Before Xu Cheng came in, he did some research on this mountain, and he guessed that the hole shouldnât be that shallow, and there should be a deeper part. Thus, he began to search for any deeper mechanisms on this floor. Xu Cheng searched for a long time, but he couldnât find anything. He saw that the weapons were arranged very neatly, and out of curiosity, he went over to pull one of the weapons. However, he triggered a mechanism, and a short blade directly stabbed into Xu Chengâs calf, making him suddenly kneel down in pain. Xu Cheng took a deep breath and began to analyze,ââIt looks like these weapons arenât that easy to get. Since theyâre afraid that someone will take weapons, then there must be a mechanism that has been made into a weapon. Otherwise, they wouldnât use hidden weapons to cover up the mechanism.â
