After 15 minutes, the gas in the underground passage finally dissipated.
Duan Gujin then had everyone hold up torches and enter one by one.
Seeing how Duan Gujin effortlessly resolved the difficult issue that had troubled them for a long ti, Wu Zian and the others felt a sense of sha. They finally realized the gap between themselves and Duan Gujin.
After advancing a few ters, Duan Gujin detected various types of chanical traps ahead in the dark passage.
"Everyone, don't move! There are many traps here!"
Duan Gujin said.
Wu Zian and the others imdiately stopped moving forward.
Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense and discovered nurous hidden holes in the surrounding walls, even including the ground.
He judged that these hidden holes were likely to contain long arrows.
"Who has a Shield?"
Duan Gujin asked.
"I have one!"
Wu Zian responded, promptly pulling out a two-ter-tall shield from his storage ring.
"Are there any more? Just one shield might not be enough!"
Duan Gujin said.
"I have four shields!"
Wu Zian said.
"First, take out all the shields and protect yourselves in front. Give one shield, and I will break through these traps!"
Duan Gujin said.
"Alright!"
Wu Zian then took out all the shields he had and placed them in front of everyone.
Duan Gujin took two shields, took a deep breath, and then advanced towards the dark passage with the shields ahead.
He moved step by step; his Divine Sense could detect countless traps in the entire dark passage.
The others, whose Spiritual Power was not as strong as Duan Gujin's, couldn't detect the traps in the dark passage and looked at Duan Gujin with confusion and bewildernt.
After Duan Gujin had advanced five steps, a series of rapid whooshing sounds was heard quickly.
With quick reflexes, Duan Gujin imdiately used the shield to block the long arrows that were shot down from the upper end of the dark passage.
Clang, clang, clang!
Wu Zian and the others heard a series of tallic clangs, their hearts tightened, and their hearts beat wildly, realizing for the first ti how many chanical traps were present in this treasure location.
"There are many traps here; it seems to be the first ti they are triggered. It looks like the treasures here have not been stolen by others yet!"
Excited by the situation, Wu Zian's heart surged with excitent.
Duan Gujin used the shields to protect his body, and a strong Defensive Shield also ford around him.
Ordinary Hidden Weapons couldn't penetrate his Defensive Shield, and the reason he used the shields in front wasn't because he thought the shields were sturdy, but because he could use them to trigger all nearby traps.
By activating the corridor's traps himself, Wu Zian and the others would be safe when passing through later.
Although he moved slowly, by the ti he passed through the corridor, he had already triggered all the traps inside.
Wu Zian and the others were soon stunned to see various Hidden Weapons scattered on the ground of the corridor that Duan Gujin had passed through.
"I'm dizzy! If we had just rushed in recklessly, we would only have t our deaths!"
Wu Zian gasped in shock, realizing how right it had been to seek help from Duan Gujin.
"After a hundred ters, Duan Gujin confird there were no traps left in the corridor he had passed, then he imdiately called for Wu Zian and the others to co over.
"Jin Guduan, we are so grateful to you! If it weren't for your intervention, all of us might have perished here!"
Wu Zian said sincerely.
Duan Gujin sighed, saying, "You don't need to be so polite, I was just wandering around out of boredom. The reason I was willing to help you was just to get so training!"
Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, Wu Zian and the others were baffled.
They had been curious why Duan Gujin had helped them before.
Now, they understood that he was training.
This was a sufficient reason, as Wu Zian and the others had seen disciples of Major Sects becoming adventurers and working for others.
Thus, they believed Duan Gujin had not deceived them.
After converging with Duan Gujin, he rested for a mont on the spot.
Ahead of them was a staircase leading downstairs, which could only accommodate one person and was very cramped.
Even though everyone was holding up torches at this mont, looking at the pitch-dark staircase below, a cold sweat erged on their backs.
If there were traps in the staircase, it would be very dangerous.
"You all stay here, and don't touch anything. There are also many traps in this staircase corridor!"
Duan Gujin seriously instructed.
"Okay!"
Wu Zian's eyes flickered, he exhaled a breath of murky air.
Duan Gujin then went down the stairs, layer by layer. Even though there were several traps on the way, none could breach his Defensive Shield.
Thus, he managed to get through the staircase safely and finally arrived at a clearing.
Upon stepping onto the clearing, he saw a heavy iron door ahead.
Surrounding the iron door were ten Luminous Pearls emitting a faint light, illuminating the underground area.
He guessed that the treasure might likely be inside that iron door.
He was not very interested in the treasures here, and retraced his steps along the staircase.
While returning, he repeatedly checked the traps inside the staircase.
Assuring that there were really no more traps in the staircase, he breathed a sigh of relief and then allowed Wu Zian and the others to descend.
As everyone went down the staircase, they saw the iron door ahead.
"Everyone, don't make any moves! Let check for traps here first!"
Duan Gujin said.
Wu Zian and the others looked at the iron door ahead, each inhaling sharply.
They had seen the iron door on the map, knowing they had reached the front of the treasure.
"Just by opening this iron door, we can obtain the treasures inside!"
Thinking this, Wu Zian and others imdiately beca excited.
"Don't get excited, the area is full of traps, and these traps here are much more dangerous than the ones we encountered before!"
Duan Gujin said lightly.
"Oh!"
Wu Zian and the others quickly nodded, various thoughts flashing through their minds.
On the way, they had discussed how the five people would share the treasures here.
Now that the treasure was right before their eyes, their excitent was imaginable.
Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense outward, scanning the surroundings. He discovered that the entire area in front of the iron door was filled with Arrays.
Clearly, there were various kinds of traps in front of the door.
He exhaled a breath and instructed, "Wu Zian, retreat to the staircase and shield yourselves!"
Duan Gujin said.
"Okay!"
Knowing Duan Gujin was about to act, Wu Zian and the others followed his instructions.
