There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

#334 - Chapter 334: Trap, it’s a trap!

Could it be that it's still alive?

No, no, Observation Haki can discern the strength of a person's life force. Its life force in my perception is completely zero. How could it still be alive?

But the function of these characters can't just be to preserve the corpse, right?

Why would you go to so much trouble for a corpse?

Qi Jing thought of an evil way of resurrection from novels: body snatching!

Could it be that these characters, like runes, have magic that allows the soul to transfer?

No, no, I must nip all possible dangers in the bud.

"Little Yao Shishu, there's a mysterious corpse inside covered in runes. Can you blow it up from a distance?"

Before Little Yao Shishu could reply, Xiao Xin, who was observing the door in front, shouted over here:

"What are you afraid of? It's just a corpse. What harm could it possibly do to us? Besides, this is a corpse! We've searched for so long and only found this one useful thing. Are you going to destroy it?"

"That makes sense." Little Yao Shishu agreed with her point of view.

Mainly because they all have super life-saving equipment like Regression Rings and Return Charms. How could anything unexpected happen?

"Then be careful. I just have a feeling that something bad is going to happen inside."

It seems so. They have so much magical equipment; there's no need to be so afraid.

But they should still be vigilant.

"Xiao Yao, go, open this door."

"Okay."

In an instant, the door fell down with a thud.

Qi Jing took the opportunity to put it back into his space, preventing the situation from TV where the door closes as soon as you go in.

They slowly looked inside.

"Wow, so many characters, a whole room full of them. Spectacular."

Si Kong Yaoyao thought of the starry sky she saw at the amusement park's planetarium last time. It was also a slightly larger room, surrounded by blue stars.

If I had astigmatism and nearsightedness, I should see the same thing here, right?

"It would be even better if there wasn't this corpse in the middle."

The characters in this room were smaller and denser than the ones in the corridor outside, and the floor was also covered in characters.

It would be perfect if there wasn't that corpse.

Xiao Xin took out her scanning robot again, turned it on, and put it inside.

While waiting for it to scan, the group discussed the use of these characters.

"I guess it's for body snatching. Once someone gets close, the formation will be activated."

Qi Jing took out the 'Azure Crystal Craftsmanship (2)' he had just drawn and opened the table of contents. The third volume had an entry called "Azure Crystal Array Technique," which was very likely it.

Unfortunately, he drew the second volume. He should be able to judge accurately if he had the third volume.

Xiao Xin said:

"That's definitely possible, but I guess it's more likely that it wants to resurrect."

Looking at the firmness of the corpse, it was comparable to some powerful alien beasts. It could already survive well in another world. There was no need to specifically invade someone else's body.

I just don't know how their race was wiped out. They can only live in this dark, sunless cave.

Looking at its body structure, except for the scales on its body, there was not a single feature of an underground creature.

"Who cares what it's doing? After we finish scanning, we'll put its corpse into the dimensional pocket and take it back. It can't turn the world upside down, can it?"

Xiao Xin was very confident that the corpse would not cause them any harm.

"Um, Xin Xin-jie, I won't go in first."

Si Kong Yaoyao's legs went weak again when she heard words like body snatching and resurrection.

"Okay, you guys can watch outside."

Although Xiao Xin was reckless herself, she wouldn't ask others to be reckless with her.

Mainly because she could guarantee that she wouldn't die, but she couldn't guarantee others.

What Qi Jing said also made sense. What if these formations were really strong?

"I'm going in."

After the scanning robot completed the copying here, Xiao Xin stepped into the dark blue room alone.

She held a knife in her right hand and a gun in her left, vigilantly looking at the corpse in the center, and slowly walked inside.

Qi Jing and the others were also behind the door, watching everything intently.

Suddenly, when Xiao Xin walked to about a meter around the corpse, the brightness of the blue characters under her feet instantly increased, emitting a dark blue light different from the surroundings.

Immediately afterward, the increase in brightness began to spread rapidly. In just the blink of an eye, the characters in the entire room became brighter.

Danger!

Qi Jing's spider sense was triggered again!

As expected, it was a trap. These characters were the array technique! No, I didn't go in. Why is there danger?

Qi Jing used his mental power to speed up his thinking. He found that mysterious blue runes also appeared under his feet, and the characters on the surrounding walls lit up as well.

In his perception, the entire corridor with characters had also become brighter, and even the soles of his feet, which originally had no characters, now had highlighted characters.

It turned out that there were always characters under their feet!

They had entered the formation from the beginning, not just this room!

「I can't move my body」

Tan Zuoyin's telepathy rang in his mind. Qi Jing realized that from the moment all the characters lit up, everyone except him was frozen in place.

Moreover, in his Observation Haki, their life force was slowly being lost and flowing towards the corpse, which was especially obvious on Si Kong Yaoyao.

Oh ~ is that the plan?

First, fix everyone in place, and then slowly absorb our life force to resurrect yourself.

In order not to be disturbed, the entire corridor has been changed into its formation.

But it still miscalculated. It must not have thought that among the group who came, there was a genius like him who was immune to abnormal states!

Next, it's time for my highlight moment to save everyone!

Unfortunately, time was too fast. His secret agent,谛听(Dì Tīng), didn't happen to hear where the danger came from, so he could only destroy the corpse to stop it.

"Don't worry, I can still move."

Just as Qi Jing was about to step into the room to destroy the corpse, suddenly, a muffled sound came from above the room.

He looked up and found that cracks began to appear in the cave above, like a spider web. In less than a second, the entire cave above collapsed like pushed-over building blocks.

Crap!

It's going to be crushed!

In a hurry, Qi Jing didn't think so much. The most urgent task now was to protect everyone first.

He first put Tan Zuoyin and the others around him back into the space, and then came to Xiao Xin Shishu with a burst of speed and put her back in as well.

At the moment when the top of the cave was about to hit him, he also put the corpse into the space, and conjured up his crash-proof safety house.

Rumble rumble rumble ~

The entire cave collapsed, and all the shining characters instantly dimmed, only a piece of glowing azure crystal slab under the corpse illuminated Qi Jing's safe house.

Phew ~ Fortunately, my speed is fast enough.

Qi Jing took a deep breath and then began to communicate with everyone in the space.

"Hello, hello, hello? Can you move?"

Xiao Xin heard Qi Jing's voice coming from above, so she looked up and shouted:

"What can you move? I've always been able to move, okay?"
