The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2160 Trap

Just as Matthew's words came out of his mouth, a thrilling incident suddenly occurred.

The ground beneath his feet, which had always been solid and firm, began to show extremely tiny cracks without any warning.

At first, these cracks looked like newly born spider silk, so thin that it would be difficult to capture their existence with the naked eye without careful observation.

But in a flash, just in the brief interval of one or two breaths, the entire top of the stairs was covered by a huge, invisible spider web. Dense and intricate cracks quickly spread out, expanding and extending wildly at a terrifying speed.

In an instant, with a heart-pounding sound of shattering, the ground suddenly cracked and turned into countless fragments.

It was not until this moment that Matthew woke up from his dream and instantly realized that the seemingly peaceful place before him was actually a sinister trap that was carefully planned and laid out.

He couldn't help but feel a raging rage in his heart, and he cursed the person who designed and built the stone platform, denouncing his vicious heart and sinister and cunning methods.

At this critical moment, Matthew did not dare to hesitate or delay for a moment. He instantly mobilized all his strength and exerted the fastest speed in his life, rushing forward bravely like an arrow.

After all, no one can predict what more dangerous and terrifying situation will be caused after the complete collapse of these stairs.

Perhaps in the next moment, the surrounding environment will undergo a drastic change, or perhaps the deadly mechanisms and hidden weapons hidden in the dark will attack one after another like a tide.

All kinds of unpredictable dangers made Matthew's heart beat rapidly, as if it was about to burst out of his chest.

But he gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with determination, and he ran forward with all his strength, trying to escape from this dangerous and death-filled place as soon as possible.

Naro, who had been squatting on Matthew's shoulder, now had a tense face, full of nervousness and fear. It was obvious that he had never expected to encounter such a thrilling scene.

Fortunately, this dangerous staircase was not long, and Matthew relied on his amazing explosive power to jump over it in one stride.

However, the moment his feet stepped onto the opposite step, his body suddenly shook and he staggered violently involuntarily.

The powerful gravity that once caused him unbearable pain and was so familiar to him came again like a mountain pressing down on his head, causing him to almost lose his balance and fall to the ground.

Obviously, this was another sinister plot by the people who built this place.

Having been under the terrifying pressure of gravity for a long time, although the body was in great pain and pressure, it gradually adapted to the heavy burden imperceptibly.

That small area suddenly lost the constraints of gravity, and the body briefly returned to normal.

But then the ground collapsed, and Matthew had to quickly leave this "safe zone" and return to the area suppressed by gravity.

The drastic changes made it difficult for his body to adapt for a while, as if every muscle and every bone was protesting.

If Matthew did not possess a physique far superior to that of an ordinary person, anyone else would have been completely crushed by the sudden change in gravity after such an ordeal, and would have collapsed on the steps, unable to get up again.

Matthew was certain that as long as he was pinned to the steps by this powerful gravity, it would be extremely difficult to break free.

And this is exactly the real sinister purpose hidden behind the people who built this place.

After Matthew steadied himself, he quickly looked around, alert for any danger that might reappear.

He knew very well that the dangers here were far more than just that, and every step he took could be a step towards the abyss of death, but he had no way to retreat and could only keep moving forward.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and at the same time mobilized the strength in his body, trying to adapt to the heavy gravity again.

This time the gravity suppression was much stronger than before. The magic power in his body was running wildly. Matthew endured the discomfort and took the next step carefully.

Every movement was made with extreme caution, for fear of triggering some hidden mechanism.

I had just walked forward a short distance when suddenly, without any warning, an extremely sharp and piercing whistle sounded, like the howling of an evil ghost, suddenly coming from above my head.

Matthew was startled and looked up almost subconsciously.

You wouldn't know until you see it. When you look, you will see countless sharp stone pillars falling down on him like a dense raindrop!

Faced with such a critical situation, Matthew didn't have time to think too much. He just relied on his instinct to quickly dodge to the side.

At the critical moment, he successfully avoided the fatal blow.

Those stone pillars fell heavily to the ground, making a deafening roar that resounded through the sky, as if the whole world was about to be shattered by this force.

At the same time, the powerful impact force generated by the collision caused the surrounding ground to tremble violently, splashing up a large amount of dust that covered the sky and made it difficult for people to see the scene in front of them.

This sudden change frightened Na Luo so much that he couldn't help but let out a scream of extreme terror.

At this moment, both of them clearly realized that this seemingly ordinary stone staircase was far from as simple as it seemed on the surface. Gravity restriction alone was far from enough. There were obviously many more dangerous and deadly traps hidden here waiting for them to trigger and deal with.

However, the current situation was very tricky for Matthew, because apart from continuing to walk up the stone steps step by step, he really couldn't think of any better way to escape from the current predicament.

So, even though he knew the road ahead was full of dangers, he still gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, took firm steps, and slowly moved forward towards the unknown dangers ahead.

"Master, do you think these terrible traps were deliberately triggered by that weird old man?" Na Luo, who had finally recovered from the shock, asked with lingering fear.

"I don't know. He is too far away from us and can't see the situation above clearly." Matthew shook his head slightly and said.

He didn't know whether it was the skinny old man who was causing trouble.

Now that the skinny old man has not been found, everything is just my guess.

However, he still had a question in his mind, that is, why the skinny old man in front of him did not touch the trap.

"Could it be that the place was originally a place for people to rest, but the mechanism was opened by someone before I arrived?"

Matthew thought so in his heart.
