Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Chapter 1272: Chapter 987-988: Broken Vajra Power! Deadly Traps!

At this point, Jiang Dali felt that the mission was almost accomplished. Now, he just needed to find the mechanism in the War God Temple that could be opened with the Secret Key to proceed and fulfill the plan against the Demon Dragon. Surely, the eager ”players” were already waiting impatiently.

He immediately shared his thoughts with Sikong Zhaixing, then took out a round, pitch-black Secret Key from the Skull Belt at his waist.

Sikong Zhaixing received the Secret Key and started searching busily within the War God Temple.

The hall was incredibly spacious, although large, it was nearly visible at a glance. To ordinary people, there was nothing that looked like a mechanism here.

Yet, as they say, mice have their paths, and snakes have theirs. As a professional, Sikong Zhaixing naturally had his set of specialized techniques.

In just thirty minutes, Sikong Zhaixing found the actual mechanism below the forty-third relief illustration.

Hearing the summons, everyone gathered around.

They watched as Sikong Zhaixing inserted the disc-shaped Secret Key into a wall seam, turning it like a key. Instantly, a series of ”zaza” sounds echoed, and the corresponding wall miraculously recessed inward.

Everyone quickly stepped aside, and just as they were being cautious, they saw a hidden chamber emerge within the wall, with a skeleton and several objects lying inside.

”What’s this?”

Jiang Dali approached, seeing the skeleton almost entirely decayed and weathered. Beside it lay a folded large bag, sparkling brightly.

Next to the bag, a note was revealed, densely written: ”I, Beishengtian, inheriting the legacy of my lineage, spent my entire life unlocking its secrets, arriving here. Though I could not return alive, I have no regrets. This Divine Temple truly hides the secrets of heaven and earth, with ways unfathomable to ghosts and gods.

Unfortunately, I lack the wisdom to break through as Immortal Master Guang Chengzi did, transcending the mortal world... Based on my measurements, the escape method is to leave from the Xun direction’s lake bottom waterway, and flow outward to the surface. I specifically made a Protective Bag from the tough silk of the Nameless Tree.

If one is an expert of this era, they can inflate the Protective Bag, guard their body with True Power, and drift inside it, carried by the underground river to escape to the surface. I’m old now, unable but unwilling anymore. Words left for the destined.”

”Is this... the same Beishengtian who built Jingyan Palace? Unexpectedly, he died here.” Lu Xiaofeng sighed.

”Indeed, the path we came in doesn’t lead out. Beishengtian was the one who discovered another escape route.” Sikong Zhaixing pondered, stroking his chin.

Ding Peng shook his head, ”The passage we came in from is over forty feet high from top to bottom. Even with Qinggong at its peak, it’s hard to leap back up unless someone from outside helps us. And even if we could jump back up, if the mechanism isn’t activated, we still can’t get out.

To activate the mechanism, we’d need Si Mengba to guide us, but I’m afraid Si Mengba might already be in dire straits.”

Jiang Dali nodded, ”Thankfully, Beishengtian discovered another escape route. Otherwise, getting out would have taken an effort.”

He wasn’t worried about not getting out because there were many underlings outside waiting. He naturally had ways to mobilize the players for a rescue, but it would certainly require a lot of effort.

”This Secret Key opened the hidden chamber, but where is the said mechanism?” Sikong Zhaixing curiously knocked around inside the hidden chamber. When he knocked on a stone brick with patterns, it suddenly recessed inward with a ”za” sound.

”Oh no!”

Sikong Zhaixing exclaimed.

Everyone was startled in unison, not having time to react before the sounds of machinery came from overhead and sides. A shadow swiftly descended—it was surprisingly a giant iron cage.

Jiang Dali only had time to enter the Golden Bell Unbreakable Body state, holding it open with both hands. Lu Xiaofeng only managed to bend his knees, using his leg power to launch like a projectile toward the rapidly closing door of the hidden chamber, now just letting a sliver of light in.

With a loud clang, the surroundings plunged into darkness, and the ground shook intensely around.

A massive fine iron cage locked everyone inside tightly, and in the darkness, a few pairs of bright eyes moved. Suddenly, the sound of a mechanism echoed around, each feeling a great danger, their hair standing on end as they swiftly prepared to defend.

At this instant, with the sounds of ”zaza,” the previously closed door opened again.

Lu Xiaofeng’s figure appeared from outside.

”Don’t move recklessly!”

Everyone relaxed in their hearts, looking around at the iron cage made of child-arm-thick fine iron columns and the densely revealed pores on the walls surrounding them, cold in their hearts.

Right then, as Lu Xiaofeng twisted the Secret Key, the heavy iron cage immediately lifted upwards on the thick iron chains, as the densely revealed pores on the walls around closed like countless eyes.

”Phew! That was close!”

Only then did Sikong Zhaixing take a long breath, patting his chest. Seeing everyone’s displeased looks, he immediately laughed awkwardly and rubbed his hands, ”Sorry, sorry! I definitely won’t randomly touch things next time; it was just a mistake, a small mistake!”

”There won’t be a next time!”

Jiang Dali frowned and snorted coldly, just about to speak.

Suddenly, a furious roar came from not far outside the hall, filled with powerful intimidation and a menacing aura.

”Demon Dragon?”

Jiang Dali and everyone exchanged glances, quickly exiting the hall. They saw the Demon Dragon, with a body length of over a dozen feet, roaring furiously at the bottom of a thousand steps. Its fierce green eyes glaring at the group as they stepped out, showing strong hostility and warning, clearly driving them away.
