Chapter 1496: The Fourth Challenge(18)

Since he wasn’t in dire need of low Experience Cores, Huo Jinglin decided to choose the second option. It would award him ten cores, which was more than enough for him at that juncture.

Since the bed had helped him fully recover, he didn’t have any mental issues about what he faced in the labyrinth. He still decided to wait for a while since there was no time limit for the challenge.

Three days later, whatever hesitations Huo Jinglin had in his heart had disappeared, so he was ready to begin the challenge. He immediately walked to the floor of teleportation, and using the free chance, he returned to the spot where he had picked up the prince. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

Huo Jinglin couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief in his heart since he didn’t need to feel the pain again and only needed to start where he had ended in the previous challenge.

A map had appeared in his mind, telling him the destination. He couldn’t help but frown when he saw that the destination was quite a distance away from him, and the deeper in the labyrinth, the more dangerous it became for the user.

Since there was no lack of direction, he was at a better starting point than the last time, so it was a reason for not worrying too much. Not daring to take a deep breath, Huo Jinglin took a step forward.

Boom!

The next moment, an explosive sound rang, and a force attempted to knock him out. Already aware of the effect of the road, he was already steady.

After absorbing five low Experience Cores, his body had grown more durable than the last time he was there. Huo JInglin reached the end of the road without much trouble. There were three pathways ahead of him, and Huo Jinglin could choose any of them since they all went to the destination.

The only difference between the paths was the sound reaction, so Huo Jinglin randomly chose the one at the center and took a step forward.

Chhapaak!

The next moment, an ugly expression appeared on his face as there was water spread over the road, resulting in a louder sound than usual.

The louder the sound, the more the reaction, and as expected, Huo Jinglin felt pressure created out of sound trying to crush him. Some of his popped veins had ruptured, but that was the end of it.

Unfortunately for Huo Jinglin, he had only entered the road, so it was only the beginning.

21:14

Huo Jinglin’s speed was quicker than the speed of sound in the environment, but he still couldn’t escape it due to the restrictions of the labyrinth.

After several hours of struggle, Huo Jinglin finally reached the end of the road.

At that time, numerous of his veins had ruptured, causing him to look eerie. One of his eyes had exploded, while the one remaining was also slightly dim, resulting in poor vision.

Ahead of him stood the door that seemed to have been closed for countless years. Huo Jinglin didn’t celebrate reaching his destination but dreaded it when he saw the door.

Since the door had been closed for a long time, it was bound to make a loud noise while opening. It didn’t matter whether the sound originated directly or indirectly from Huo Jinglin; he would need to bear the brunt of the reaction in the labyrinth.

He couldn’t even release a sigh to show his helplessness at the scene. But since he was already there and there was no chance of a return, Huo Jinglin greeted his teeth and pushed the door inward.

Screech!

The next moment, a loud screeching sound rang as if someone was scratching the road with iron nails.

Argh!

Huo Jinglin had no choice but to groan in pain as an unbearable wave of pain attacked his head. He wanted to stop, but the deed had already been committed.

The pressure he had thought would disappear returned with its full might, and in no time, more veins had ruptured. The remaining eye also exploded, turning him blind. His bones were visible across his hands and shoulders.

Huo Jinglin didn’t dare to leak even a little sound, and it further aggravated the pain. When the pressure finally disappeared, Huo Jinglin was left on the verge of death.

If he were to even leak a little sound, the reaction would be more than enough to kill him, so he forcefully threw himself into the world inside the door.

Thud!

The last thought in his mind was that the chamber wouldn’t react to the sound as the pathway, or he would be dead, and immediately after that, he fell unconscious.

If he were to be conscious, he would see a beautiful scene playing out in front of his eyes. Sound notes seemed to have materialized into living forms as they danced in the area. Some would come to Huo Jinglin and leave after surveying him.

Wherever the note touched, the body would slightly recover.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Huo Jinglin’s body finally moved. The sound notes immediately ran away, causing a beautiful melody to ring.

Huo Jinglin couldn’t help but feel serene in his heart when listening to that sound, but he immediately sat up in surprise. The last scene he remembered was forcefully throwing himself into the chamber. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that his risk had worked and he had survived.

He then finally looked around and saw the sound notes in the area. He instinctively raised his hand and tried to touch the nearby note.

The sound note immediately ran away, surprising Huo Jinglin with its reaction speed. After that, he didn’t try to touch the sound notes and only looked around.

According to the challenge, the chamber contained a material that was one of the main items required to construct a fourth level item. As far as Huo Jinglin’s eyes could see, there was nothing other than him and the sound notes in the chamber.
