The strangeness is coming, I build a forbidden kingdom of God in the end times

Chapter 28: First exploration of the ruins, an unavoidable trap!

"Phew! Here we are!"

With the Qingfeng Boots, Su Hao moved much faster. A journey that would have taken most of the day took Su Hao just over three hours to reach an abandoned town.

Ninety-nine percent of the buildings in this town were severely damaged and turned into ruins.

But there is one exception, which is the castle located in the center of the town.

This castle is three stories high and is extremely well preserved. Even the doors and windows on the outer walls have not been damaged.

The entire town was destroyed, but the castle did not suffer any damage. Even the glass on the windows was intact. This alone is enough to show its extraordinary nature.

This ancient castle is the final destination of Su Hao's trip——

remains!

In his previous life, Su Hao had never been here, but through the communication bracelet, he saw a lot of information about this relic.

Inside this ancient castle, there are a large number of traps and powerful monsters. A powerful force called Higanbana lost five groups of people and spent more than a month to complete the exploration of this ruins.

As the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

It is said that the boss of Higanbana obtained the method to advance to a high-level extraordinary person after exploring this ancient castle.

In the end, it only took him a little over a year to become a fifth-level professional. He was the strongest person in the area at that time, but...

"This opportunity is mine!"

Su Hao grinned, holding a serrated long knife, leaned against the wall, and slowly pushed open the door of the castle.

After waiting for about a minute and seeing nothing unusual, Su Hao poked his head out and looked inside the castle.

What came into view was a long passage with no lights on either side, making it seem a little dim.

To be precise, there was not a single light inside the entire castle.

At least when Su Hao looked at it, he couldn't see any light source at all.

After thinking for a moment, Su Hao picked up a small stone beside him, shook his wrist slightly, and threw the stone into the passage.

Ding——! Ding——! Ding!
In the passage, apart from the sound of stones falling on the ground, there was nothing unusual or any other sound.

"It's really not that simple."

Su Hao was not surprised by this result. If the trap here could be easily discovered, how could the Higanbana forces in the previous life have suffered such heavy losses?

Since you can't find out the answer by trying it out, there's no need to waste time outside.

In the previous life, when Higanbana finished exploring this relic, it was almost two or three months after the mysterious arrival. At this point in time, they were at most a few first-order transcendents.

"My current strength is definitely not weaker than Higanbana back then. If they can complete the exploration of this ruins, then there is no way I will have any problems!"

Su Hao smiled confidently, flipped his left hand, took out the lantern, illuminated the passage ahead, and strode in.

"Ok?"

Just when Su Hao walked to the middle of the passage, he suddenly felt something sweeping across his body.

Then, the bricks on both sides of the passage suddenly cracked, and circular holes appeared one after another. There were so many of them that it was impossible to count them.

Looking around, the walls on both sides of the passage, from the entrance to the exit, are covered with these circular holes.

“Tsk tsk tsk! No wonder so many people were sacrificed when Higanbana was exploring this place. This is totally leaving no way for them to survive!”

Looking at the densely packed holes on the wall, Su Hao couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He put the awakening lantern back into the storage bag and stood there calmly, waiting for the attacks from these holes.

He is currently in the middle of the passage, and it is obviously impossible for him to run away before the trap is triggered.

The trigger position of this trap is set in the middle to prevent someone from leaving by speed. "Huh? No response?"

After standing there and waiting for a minute, Su Hao didn't see any attacks from the holes, which made him frown slightly.

He was sure that these holes in the wall were definitely not just for decoration.

Could it be that……

This trap has not been fully triggered yet?

Thinking of this, Su Hao took a step forward.

Boo hoo hoo-!
Boo hoo hoo-!
……

Almost at the moment when Su Hao's right foot landed on the ground, all the holes in the wall fired three consecutive rounds of arrows with strong penetrating power that could penetrate rocks, launching an indiscriminate attack on everything in the passage.

Under this kind of attack with no blind spots and great power, even a first-level transcendent would be pierced like a hedgehog and become a corpse in the passage.

After three consecutive rounds of shooting, Su Hao was also pierced by hundreds of arrows and turned into a hedgehog.

But he did not die. Instead, he moved around a few times with interest, his body full of arrows.

"It seems that after becoming a flesh and blood manipulator, I have gained a lot of resistance to pain!"

If it were someone else, just the arm being pierced by the arrow, they would probably roll on the ground in pain.

Not to mention Su Hao, who had hundreds of arrows stuck in his body, one of which pierced his eyeball and penetrated into his brain.

However, despite such intensive attacks, Su Hao did not feel any pain.

I just realized that these parts of my body had been attacked, and I needed to pull out the arrows that were inserted into my flesh and blood before I could recover from the injuries.

After experiencing this novel feeling for a while, Su Hao began to pull out the arrows one by one.

"Hmm? Poisonous?"

After pulling out all the arrows, a trickle of blood suddenly flowed out of Su Hao's nose, and he felt his body becoming weak.

However, he did not panic. He immediately thought about it and used the Blood Flame Technique.

Blood-red flames emerged from Su Hao's pores, instantly burning away the toxins in his body. At the same time, the parts pierced by the arrows began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After becoming a flesh and blood manipulator, Su Hao's basic recovery ability is already strong. As the blood flows, some minor injuries will automatically heal in a short time.

When using blood flame technique on yourself, in addition to clearing toxins from the blood, it can also speed up blood flow, which indirectly speeds up your own recovery.

"It seems that there is no need to eat blood."

Realizing that his injuries had almost healed, Su Hao put the drop of scarlet blood he had just taken out back into his storage bag.

Then he took out the lantern, and the bright light illuminated the surrounding environment.

Looking at the arrow on the ground, Su Hao's eyes flashed slightly.

[Poison Arrow]

Effect: The entire arrow is made of magic metal, with a hardness almost equal to that of first-level extraordinary materials. The arrowhead is also coated with a highly toxic substance that can easily kill a cow.

……

"Good stuff, can't be wasted!"

Su Hao immediately put the arrows on the ground into his storage bag one by one, obtaining a total of 1200 poisonous arrows.

After collecting all the poisonous arrows, Su Hao walked out of the long and narrow passage and came to an empty hall.
