Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 95: Who taught him to dig trenches like this!
As soon as this unfortunate team name was announced, the whole venue fell silent for a moment. πππ¦β―πΈπ¦ππππ·β―π.πππ
Then came the curses.
"Liu Tietou, you bastard! You were the first to name it! And you came up with this name!"
"Where are you, grandson?! Your father wants to have a βchatβ with you right now!"
"Bastard, come out here!"
However, despite the loose cultivators cursing for a long while, the nickname expert known as Liu Tietou didnβt appear.
He had long since fled.
In an alley a few streets away, a bald man smacked his little brother across the face with a swingset of his arm.
"I told you to register a name for me. You registered this? Are you trying to get me killed?!"
"Boss, Iβm wronged! Wasnβt it you who told me to use this name?"
"When did I ever say that?"
"βJust pick anything, all the good names have already been taken by dogs.β Didnβt you say that the other day?"
The subordinate, feeling wronged, held his face and whimpered.
Liu Tietouβs head buzzed. His little brother was loyal, but just a bit slow.
But Liu Tietou never expected him to be this mind-numbingly slow.
"You, you! One day youβll be the death of me.
Stop howling, or someone will hear.
Get up quickly, and come with me."
Liu Tietou picked up his little brother and peeked out of the alley to look around.
"Where are we going?" The brother asked, holding his face.
"We canβt stay in this damn place. Weβre heading south."
Having said that, Liu Tietou put on a hat, covered his face and bald head tightly, and with forced composure walked out of the alley, heading towards the mountain gate.
The younger brother wiped his tears, told himself not to be scared, put on his hat, walked out of the alley, and chased after his older brother towards the mountain gate.
At the entrance to the underground city, the cultivator responsible for verifying identities called out a few more times, and seeing no response, he marked a cross next to that unfortunate name.
"Next, number one solo, Chen Jiu."
"Underground city, Heavenly Cave Tomb."
Chen Jiu took a deep breath, stood up from his chair, looked around at everyone, and cupped his fists together.
"Fellow cultivators, I, Chen Jiu, will go first to open the array for you all."
Wang Ma and Bai Xiaochun were the kind of people who loved excitement, and they were now betting on how long this Chen Jiu could stay inside.
The undercover life of this period made Wang Ma know the loose cultivators around Yangguan Road like the back of his hand.
He remembered this Chen Jiu, a Jianghu bladesman with many adventures, cut his way from Qi Cultivation all the way to Foundation Establishment.
Though he seemed to have embarked on the immortal path, his Jianghu spirit hadnβt changed a bit.
"Surely, heβll at least pass the first minor checkpoint." Wang Ma speculated.
"This guy looks pretty strong; I think so too." Bai Xiaochun chimed in.
"You both guessed the same, so whatβs the point of betting?" Li Jue looked at the two with perplexity.
"I guess heβll come out right away." Lin Feng suddenly spoke up.
Having said that, Lin Feng offered no explanation, and returned to his usual aloof manner.
At the entrance.
Chen Jiu took a deep breath, stepped into the teleportation array, and with a flash of cyan light, his figure appeared in a subterranean cavern.
Just as he opened his eyes, Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment; he felt this place was made too realistically.
He looked up towards the ceiling, where there seemed to be a real sinkhole opening, and he was standing directly below it.
The rocks, vegetation, dilapidated stone houses, distant dark tunnels scattered with abandoned tombs all looked just like the real thing.
In Chen Jiuβs previous imagination, an underground city was just a dug-out hole, with traps set every so often, and fighting some mechanized puppets.
"I never thought it would be such a grand effort!"
Chen Jiu became somewhat intrigued by this underground city. He formed a hand seal and cast a small spell that let him see in the dark, intending to see what lay in the distance.
But to his surprise, the spellβs effect was negligible.
The ancient tombs in the distant darkness remained blurred.
Then, it seemed like the signal for the official start of the underground city trial came.
The simulated sky and sunlight above Chen Jiuβs head vanished, plunging the entire underground city into complete darkness.
Chen Jiu regretted not buying a Wilderness Exploration Set produced by the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion before entering.
Many items from there would come in handy in situations like this.
He had no choice but to ignite a Tao Talisman, attaching a Spirit Flame to his long blade.
With his blade illuminating the dark area ahead, he cautiously moved forward.
After taking a few steps, Chen Jiu didnβt encounter any danger, but neither did he relax, still observing his surroundings carefully.
Until he saw something inside a half-collapsed stone house emitting a faint glow.
Some people are drawn to light, feeling uncomfortable if they donβt go and take a look.
But Chen Jiu was a very cautious person, feeling this thing was certainly a trap, with something definitely waiting in the house for him.
"Heh, I wonβt fall for that."
On the surface, inside the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.
Zhang Ze and his team were observing Chen Jiu in front of a huge Transmission Box.
"Senior brother, this guy is cautious; he didnβt go in the house." Chen Qin said.
In the shadow behind the stone house door, a low-tier Sword Spirit was hidden, with two Thousand Mechanism Puppets hanging from the ceiling.
That faintly glowing object was also a trap.
A regular Foundation Establishment Cultivator, if drawn by that light, even if they didnβt enter the house, would have a hard time leaving unscathed.
"Indeed, but itβs no matter, thereβs more traps ahead waiting for him." Zhang Ze was indifferent.
The pit Zhang Ze mentioned was an actual pit.
In the underground city.
Chen Jiu kept his eyes on the stone house, cautiously keeping his distance.
His pace was steady, so steady that he stepped right into a ditch ahead.
Zhang Ze had Fuji dig a ditch here.
This ditch was cunningly dug, taking advantage of a visual illusion.
In a place where most Foundation Establishment spells were suppressed by the underground city array, such a ditch was virtually undetectable without looking at oneβs feet while walking.
Especially for those who made it here, if not being frantically ambushed by the traps in the stone house, like Chen Jiu, their focus would be entirely on the house.
Of course, if some fool tried to fly forward using an Escape Technique from the start, an even bigger pit was waiting for him ahead.
But to trip up a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, one ditch was far from enough.
It needed monsters to push people into the ditch and things hidden inside to grab them by the leg.
In the instant when Chen Jiu lost his balance, a little black shadow dashed out from behind a boulder.
"Let me give you a hug!" The thing screeched.
But just as Chen Jiu was about to respond, unexpectedly, the ghostly thing didnβt hug him.
Instead, it rushed over and gave him a hard kick.
A kick that shattered his protective spiritual qi and sent Chen Jiu plummeting into the ditch.
Then, some rope-like things lashed at his waist, dragging Chen Jiu deeper in.
There seemed to be a high-tier array in the ditch. No sooner had Chen Jiu fallen in than he felt his entire body weak, as if his spiritual qi had been depleted.
He fell onto something resembling a cushion, his long blade slipping from his grasp. Before he could get up, several streaks of black light darted towards him.
A series of sudden events left Chen Jiu with no time to react, more ludicrous than any perilous crisis he had encountered in his past.
And abruptly losing control of his spiritual qi, reverting back to a mere mortal, left Chen Jiu feeling despair.
Chen Jiu closed his eyes, thinking at that moment he was really going to die.
His last thought before his supposed death was to curse the person who designed this so-called underground city in his mind.
"Who the hell taught him to dig a ditch like this! Is he a dog?"
Inside the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.
Zhang Ze saw that the first unfortunate oneβs progress wasnβt even at 2% and sighed.
"Fuji, itβs your turn to step into the scene."
"Alrighty then, um... how did the opening line go again?" Fuji asked.
"Gold-star customer service Fuji, at your service." Zhang Ze handed Fuji a stack of small cards.
