Chapter 1116: Silver Treasure Box!

The dome shaped treasure house was split into four levels .

The lowest level was a hall that had a diameter of 328 feet . If he moved up one level, the diameter would be reduced to less than 262 feet . The third level was 162 feet . The fourth level, which was the level with the huge net of chains, had a diameter of less than 98 feet . The entire metallic structure was formed by more than twenty fist-sized chains coming out of the holes in the walls around the level and intersecting with each other . They lifted a silver box .

The strength of spiritual senses was presented at that moment .

Even though he could not see, through his spiritual sense, Happy could clearly “see” an exquisite, square-shaped, silver box . He could even see the elegant patterns on all six sides of the box clearly .

It was a treasure box!

With just one glance, Happy could see that this was the item he sought for in the treasure house .

But due to the design of the place, the location of the treasure box caused him a great headache .

It was too high!

He had to travel up by more than 131 feet, and all around him were armored walls that were smooth . He could not grip them or use them to stand .

Happy remembered that Zhang Wuji was once locked in a mechanism that was surrounded by armored walls, but the mechanism Zhao Min created was set in a very narrow room . He could use his environment, but Happy could not, because there was nothing here . It seemed like aside from using his own abilities to fly up, he had no other method that could help him up .

Even if he had a top-class lightness skill, without anything to assist him in his jumps, it would still be very difficult for him to jump too high . Seventy to eighty feet was his limit, and he would face all sorts of difficulties if he tried to jump further up .

Happy slowly moved around the dark hall and observed the place carefully . Once he was certain that he had nothing else he could use to get up and he really had to force his way upward, he finally gave up on looking for other things .

He drew Golden Scale Divine Sword, lifted it, and sent a sword qi into the floor .

A smooth tile was easily split into two, and the hidden force contained within the slash caused them to be violently sent into the air . But the powerful force could only send these stone tiles into the air . They were not crushed because of it, a testament of just how sturdy these items were .

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Once he put away Golden Scale Divine Sword, Happy threw the two stone tiles in his hands into the air with great strength .

One of them was ahead of the other .

The stone tile that was first sent forward instantly charged into the darkness at lightning speed . It charged in a straight line at the brocade box in the air, and the one behind it was crushed by a sword qi that Happy sent right after it .

Thud!

At the instant the stone tile was crushed in the air, Happy went forward with one smooth motion . He rose lightly from the ground and stepped on the stone pieces that filled the air above him . With each step, he easily rose more than thirty feet above the ground .

When he saw that there were no other shattered pieces that he could use to assist him in his jump, he sucked in a sharp breath, and he tapped against the last stone piece in the air . It was also a rather large stone piece compared to the others .

“Hah!”

With a loud shout, Happy’s speed quickly increased while he was airborne . He twisted his body and rose by more than thirty feet, and in an instant, he went from the second level to the third level .

He felt that the true qi in his mouth was about to leak out . Then, the sound of chains swaying endlessly rose in the air .

The stone tile knocked against the silver treasure box, and while the chains swayed, the stone tile was knocked back right at Happy .

But unfortunately, the angle in which it came back was slightly problematic . Happy’s true qi had completely spilled out of his mouth, causing him to start falling, and it was only then that the stone tile came at him . By the looks of it, there was about six and a half feet up to nine feet between them . There was no way he could just turn around and use his feet to assist him in the jump .

He did not panic .

Happy sucked in a deep breath and lowered his speed as he descended .

When the stone tile was six and a half feet away from him, he flipped his palm over unhesitantly and went to seize it .

Dragon Capture .

At the moment the stone tile was sucked into his hand, he went from seizing it to slapping it .

Slap!

It was a light slap, but the stone tile sped up as it charged down to the ground . It was so fast that it was like a cannonball .

But Happy had been able to use the tile to assist him in his jump . He performed a beautiful somersault before he flipped his body around and went up again . Not only had his true qi recovered, he also shot up like a cannonball and shot up by another thirty feet while he was airborne . He appeared among the gaps of the huge net of chains .

‘I’ve arrived!’

He finally reached the fourth level .

Happy looked happy .

The silver box was close by .

But at the moment Happy’s gaze landed on the treasure box, his expression changed drastically .

The treasure chest, which was his target on the huge net of chains, was bound tightly to the center of the huge net by four thin chains that were made of unique material . Happy had not even managed to notice them with his spiritual sense before .

Without thinking, Happy cut at the thin chains .

His sword qi turned into four sword sparks in the air and went to attack four directions .

At that moment, an accident happened!

Right when the sword qi crashed against the chains on the treasure chest, the walls around him suddenly released the sound of springs, and countless dense holes covered every inch of the walls above him and in the fourth level .

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Multiple dense, thin, and black needles shot out in a never-ending manner . There were so many of them that they were like hair on a person’s head .

The entire area in the fourth level was enveloped in the area of attack of the needles . There was no escape from them!

This scene caused Happy to instantly break out in cold sweat . Without another word, he used Dragon Capture to capture the chain, and he avoided the first wave of needles at hair’s breadth . Then, he fell down from the air without daring to remain for even a moment up at the fourth level .

Whoosh!

Even so, his sleeves were already covered in fine holes, and it was torn into shreds now .

‘Amazing . ’

When he fell to the ground, Happy used a palm-generated wind with hidden force contained in it to weaken his momentum as he fell . Then, Happy looked up and could not help but sigh . ‘What a powerful trap . If I didn’t notice it with my spiritual sense earlier on… I guess even a martial artist who is One with the World will not be able to withstand such a fierce attack .

‘As expected of the best barbaric merchant in the world . This trap alone is enough to keep his treasure safe no matter how many people come here . ’ Happy could only bemoan his inadequacy as he looked at the treasure box that was dozens of feet apart from him .

Just now, the sword qi he used to cut the chains had not only not managed to cut the chains, it had not even managed to cause even the slightest bit of damage on it . Even if he attacked it from below, it was impossible for him to destroy the chains and get the treasure box .

When he remembered the elegant floral patterns on the six faces of the silver treasure box, Happy could not help but be troubled . “Could it be that those things have the ability to open locks?”

His voice echoed slightly in the hall, but no one responded to Happy’s question .

“Nope . I’m going to try again!”

Even though the terrifying firepower at the fourth level had caused him to have the same sense of danger when Evil Emperor shattered space, if such a terrifying trap and ingenious metallic design was just to protect a silver treasure box, it proved just how important that treasure box was . It could not be compared to the items in those normal treasure houses .

Thud!

Another stone tile was split into two when the sound rose, and Happy grabbed it .

Happy used the same method just now and jumped into the air in the same way . In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the place where the iron chains were .

At that moment, the activated trap had returned to silence . However, the numerous holes tightly packed together in the walls around him were still opened .

This time, Happy did not attack the silver treasure box straight away . Instead, he grabbed the iron chain that was the size of a fist .

The iron chains swayed slightly .

The trap did not give Happy any chance . Another round of flying needles shot out .

Happy’s expression changed, and he quickly executed a Thousand Pound Drop . At the instant the sound of springs rose, he plunged down from the sky and escaped from the trap beforehand .

When he landed on the ground again, Happy scowled . ‘So I’ll activate the trap the moment I touch the chains? That’s troublesome . ’

It was already hard enough to jump so high into the air, but the silver treasure box was secured on the chains by sturdy metal chains, and even if he touched it, it would cause the huge net of chains to sway, and it would in turn trigger that fatal trap .

As he listened to the continuous stream of sounds echoing high above him, Happy frowned and began thinking .

After half a minute, Happy made his decision to begin his third try .

The layout of this trap was completely different from the treasure houses he experienced in the past .

The treasure house he ran into might be dangerous, but there was a certain element in it that required him to bet his life to clear the trap . But the building here clearly required him to have absolute strength and wit .

Without strength and intelligence, no one could take the silver treasure box away .

Happy reevaluated the silver treasure box and decided to test it using Full Winds in Long Skies to see whether he could forcefully break the chains binding the silver treasure box .

If even the power contained in his strongest move mixed with Full Winds in Long Skies could not do anything against the chains, then it meant that he was not fated to get that treasure chest, and there was no need for him to continue wasting his time in this place .

He would immediately log off and leave this place as well as give up on the treasure box .

Two stone tiles were fired into the air one after another .

If he used the stone tiles to knock against the treasure chest in the distance, he would not activate the trap .

When Happy jumped into the air the third time, he raised his hand and pointed at the treasure chest .

Whoosh!

The spiritual energy of the world in the air swiftly gathered together . It gathered between Happy’s fingers like a vortex, and a milky-white vortex swiftly took shape in the black air .

Sun Finger!

At the instant he executed the ultimate technique that required him to gather together the spiritual energy of the world, a suffocating, powerful presence went charging steadily at the silver box on the chains as Happy slowly pushed his finger forward .

Then, in the air, the second, third, fourth, and fifth milky white vortices with astonishing presences were formed as Happy executed Sun Finger repeatedly .

Thud!

When the first Sun Finger crashed against the chains binding the silver treasure box, Happy did not even look at it . He flipped his body upside down, and when his head was directed downward, he stepped on the chains . At the instant the trap was activated, he shot to the ground at an even faster speed .

The sounds that were similar to locusts rose once more above him .

Boom!

When he was close to the ground, he executed a palm-generated wind, and when the powerful qi wave pushed back at him, his speed swiftly decreased . He then steadily flipped his body around and stepped on the floor .

It was only at that moment that Happy had time to observe the situation of the silver box once more . He tried to look at the effect of his full-powered strike .

Before he had his spiritual sense spread out, a faint sound of something rushing in the air suddenly rose, and something fell from above .

Happy’s spiritual sense instantly locked down on the item that caused the sound in the dark space . He could not help but release a light gasp . He grabbed the air, and he seized the item that landed beside him .

When he unfurled his hand, he saw a thin chain that had been broken in half .

He sucked in a deep breath . Happy was able to immediately recognize that this was the thin chain that bound the silver treasure box . The place where it had been snapped showed that the impact from a force had directly snapped it in half .

When he saw this, Happy could not help but have joy appear on his face . He looked up .

‘I made it!’

Even though the thin chains binding the silver treasure box was sturdy, the high damage in Sun Finger combined with Full Winds in Long Skies was enough to destroy it .

‘With just three more times, I will be able to take down the silver treasure box . ’

When he thought about how he was about to unravel the mystery behind the silver treasure box, Happy was delighted . He put away the snapped chain into his Universe Bag, sat down, and circulated his qi to recover it while he waited for Full Winds in Long Skies to finish cooling down .

But at that moment, the Buddha statue with the stern and dignified face not far away opened its eyes right before Happy, and a fierce light shot out of its eyes .

Two ghastly lights that were like will-o’-the-wisps suddenly lit up in the dark hall . Even Happy could not help but feel his skin crawl, and fear rose in his heart .
