Rumble!
Rumbling sounds came from underground. Fang Chen, who was digging a hole, was startled and jumped out of the big hole.
"What's going on?" Fang Chen held the Hidden Star Sword and asked with a solemn face.
"I don't know. I seem to have stepped on a mechanism," Lu Lianxue whispered.
Under Lu Lianxue's feet, the ground caved in a little, and the rumbling continued. Fang Chen and the other two looked around and entered a state of alert.
After about a minute, the rumbling sound finally disappeared.
After the tremors subsided, cracks began to appear on the ground. Eventually, these cracks converged together to form a small circular hole.
Dong!
When the small hole appeared, the surrounding Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth surged into the small hole.
"The wealth of the Western Region Pirate Sage is below," Jin Xuan 'er shouted excitedly.
"This Western Region Pirate Sage is really cautious. He actually made such a mechanism," Lu Lianxue said.
Fang Chen came in front of the small hole. There was such a hole in the ground. It was dark below and nothing could be seen clearly.
Fang Chen's soul went into the small hole to check, but he found that the hole seemed to be isolated from soul detection.
"Let's go down and take a look."
Fang Chen jumped directly into the hole. Lu Lianxue and Jin Xuan 'er also looked at each other and went into the hole.
When the three of them entered the hole, they found that they were in a dark passage. A flame appeared on Fang Chen's palm, illuminating the entire passage.
"The wealth should be at the end of the passage," Lu Lianxue said.
Fang Chen nodded and walked forward.
But when he took the first step, suddenly, countless small holes appeared on both sides of the passage. Countless overbearing and fierce arrows shot out from these small holes.
Whoosh!
The arrows crisscrossed and shot toward both sides of the passage. Fortunately, Fang Chen felt that something was wrong and retreated immediately.
Seeing these swords and arrows, Fang Chen was also scared.
In such a small passageway, if he was hit by these arrows, wouldn't he turn into a sieve?
"A mechanism left behind by the Western Region Pirate Sage," Lu Lianxue said solemnly.
"How do we break through?" Jin Xuan 'er asked.
Fang Chen picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the tunnel in front of him. Immediately, arrows shot out from both sides.
"As long as something passes by, there will be arrows." Fang Chen frowned and said in a low voice.
This was only the first checkpoint that the Western Region Pirate Sage had set up in the Wealth Point. Fang Chen and the other two were trapped here and could not think of any way out.
"Can you use your speed to break through?" Lu Lianxue asked.
Fang Chen shook his head. The arrows that were shot out were too dense. If one wanted to use speed to charge through, they would need to be at the Spirit Vortex Realm.
The trio wore stern looks on their faces. If they were unable to pass the trial, they would not be able to earn any Wealth Points.
Just when Fang Chen and the other two were lost in thought, the old faker Banxianshu appeared.
"Kid, are you stumped by the mechanism here?" Banxianshu asked with a smile.
Fang Chen nodded. Banxianshu said, "This mechanism is too trashy. Let me help you."
Fang Chen's eyes lit up and asked, "You have a way?"
Banxianshu said, "Of course I have a way. How can such a trashy mechanism trap me? However, I need some energy."
Hearing Banxianshu's words, Fang Chen was speechless. This old soul wanted to take the opportunity to ask for some of the Little Mouse's blood.
Fang Chen glanced at the Little Mouse. The latter threw a drop of blood to Banxianshu. After Banxianshu absorbed the blood, it was very excited.
"Don't worry, I will definitely send you guys over safely." Banxianshu said solemnly.
"If we fail, I will pull out all your branches and leaves," Fang Chen said.
Banxianshu moved to the front of the mechanism. With a swishing sound, countless branches and leaves stretched out from its main body in an instant.
When the branches and leaves stretched out, the mechanism was instantly triggered. Dense arrows were shot out in an instant.
At this moment, Banxianshu controlled its dense branches and leaves to directly block the small holes from which the arrows were shot out.
"Hurry up, what are you waiting for?"
Banxianshu shouted directly when it saw Fang Chen and the other two in shock.
Fang Chen and the other two woke up in an instant. Then, they directly entered the mechanism. Following Banxianshu's branches and leaves, they easily passed through the passage.
When the three of them passed through the passage, Banxianshu's main body also came to this side. Then, it opened its branches and leaves.
Whoosh!
Countless dense arrows were shot out wildly.
Banxianshu laughed loudly and retracted its branches and leaves.
Fang Chen saw some scars on the Banxianshu's profession.
"Are you okay?" Fang Chen asked.
"I'm fine. My branches and leaves need to transform. These arrows happened to help me," Banxianshu said.
Fang Chen nodded and continued to move forward. Banxianshu and Little Mouse followed behind.
Lu Lianxue and Jin Xuan 'er were more and more curious about Fang Chen.
Not only did he have the magical Little Mouse, but he also had a Banxianshu. It was really shocking.
Without the Banxianshu, it would be too difficult to pass through this passage.
Lu Lianxue and Jin Xuan 'er followed Fang Chen and moved forward quickly. After a while, the three of them walked out of the passage.
At the end of the passage, they appeared in an underground palace. There were countless stone pillars in this palace. On each pillar, there were luminous pearls that illuminated the entire palace.
"Using luminous pearls as lighting. How extravagant," Jin Xuan 'er said.
"The wealth of the Western Region Pirate Sage should be here," Lu Lianxue said.
Just as she was about to speak, a dense group of snake demons suddenly appeared in the palace. These snake demons flicked their tongues and let out angry cries.
"This is the Western Region Pirate Sage's method," Lu Lianxue shouted.
Seeing these densely packed snake demons, Lu Lianxue and Jin Xuan 'er's expressions turned solemn. The snake demons were like a tide coming towards them. Even if they tried their best, they couldn't kill these snake demons.
"What should we do, Fang Chen?" Lu Lianxue hurriedly shouted.
"Is this the Western Region Pirate Sage's method to protect his wealth?" Fang Chen narrowed his eyes and whispered.
If it was something else, Fang Chen might be helpless. But seeing the tide of snake demons, Fang Chen smiled.
He took out the Snake Taming Flute from his interspatial ring.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Putting the Snake Taming Flute to his mouth, Fang Chen used the Snake Taming Technique. A pleasant sound came out from the Snake Taming Flute.
These voices formed sound waves that were transmitted directly into the minds of the snake demons.
Hiss!
These menacing snake demons began to struggle after hearing the sound from the Snake Taming Flute.
In the huge palace, snake demons were struggling everywhere. They seemed to be in pain. Their tongues flicked, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes.
"This is …" Lu Lianxue and Jin Xuan 'er looked at these snake demons in shock, then looked at Fang Chen.
They knew that all of this was because of the flute in Fang Chen's hand.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Fang Chen used all his strength to drive the Snake Taming Flute. The pleasant sound became serious, and the sound waves became faster and faster.
And the snake demons in the palace struggled harder and harder.
In the end, they finally couldn't resist the power of the Snake Taming Flute and retreated.
In the blink of an eye, the tide-like snake demons disappeared completely, as if they had never appeared.
Seeing this, Fang Chen put away the Snake Taming Flute.
Lu Lianxue and Jin Xuan 'er looked at Fang Chen as if they were looking at a monster.
The more they looked like this, the more they felt that they had made the right bet. The potential that Fang Chen showed was really too monstrous.
If nothing unexpected happened, there would definitely be a place for Fang Chen in the Five Elements State in the future.
"Let's go."
Fang Chen glanced at the two shocked women and said softly.
The first level had the Banxianshu, the second level had the Snake Taming Flute, and he didn't know what other mechanisms were behind it.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen couldn't help but curse. The Thief Sage of the Western Region was really a damn guy. He set up the Wealth Point so secretly and made countless checkpoints to protect it.
"There's a stone door here." Lu Lianxue noticed the stone door.
Fang Chen walked in front of the stone door. He wanted to push it, but his hand stopped in midair. He was wondering if there was any danger behind this stone door.
"Let me do it." Jin Xuan 'er walked in front of the stone door.
Jin Xuan 'er placed her hand on the stone door and tried to push it, but there was no reaction at all.
"Hmm? What's going on?" Fang Chen put his hand on the stone door and used all his strength, but he still couldn't push it open.
"Could it be that behind this stone door is the Wealth Point?" Lu Lianxue asked suspiciously.
For a time, Fang Chen and the others used all kinds of methods, but they were still unable to open the stone door. Fang Chen even used all his strength to try and break it open, but it was to no avail.
"Behind this stone door is definitely the Wealth Point," said Fang Chen.
This stone door's defense was too strong. Even someone at the first level of the Spirit Vortex Realm was unable to break it.
"What do we do?" Lu Lianxue and Jin Xuan 'er were a bit helpless.
Fang Chen's soul enveloped the stone door and he carefully examined it.
His soul swept through the entire stone door, but he didn't find anything.
Fang Chen wasn't willing to give up and continued to scan.
Buzz.
When Fang Chen's soul scanned the stone door, it let out a buzzing sound. Fang Chen was startled and looked at the stone door.
