Chapter 875: Chapter 413 Exploration of Abyss Report, The Resurgence of the Abyss_2

[You begin your search with caution...]

[...]

[You find an abundance of valuable books in the bookcase.]

[You have obtained ’Books Containing a Huge Amount of Knowledge’*6]

[Searching...]

[In the refined copper chest on the desk, you find an ancient scroll.]

[You have obtained an ’Ancient Scroll Noting Star Magic Skills’ (Legend+ level prop)!]

[Searching...]

[You find no more items of value.]

Lin Xun frowns, the rewards from the Star Realm Envoy’s office aren’t much different from those of the other Star Spirits, with the exception of the higher quality of the skill scroll obtained.

This clearly doesn’t match the status of a Star Realm Envoy. Plus, is such a simple skill scroll worth being guarded by both a defensive magic array and a counterattack mechanism?

He continues his search undeterred, yet the game keeps displaying ’You find no more items of value.’

"There’s definitely some treasure hidden here, Underworld Game, you think you can stop me just like that?"

Lin Xun narrows his eyes and, with a determined heart, begins to invoke the ’Flesh Authority’ to manipulate Shell into ransacking the place.

[You wield the ’Sword of the Bloody King’ and head straight to the desk, cleaving it with one fierce strike, scattering wooden shreds and splinters...]

[You shake your head, finding nothing suspicious.]

[You move to the bookcase against the wall and deliver another heavy blow, not just splitting the bookcase, but also shattering the wall behind it.]

[The secret chamber you imagined does not appear.]

[Looking around, you scan the room, your gaze finally resting on the sofa in the corner of the office.]

[You notice traces that suggest the floor beside the sofa has been scraped by something being moved.]

[You stride to the sofa and try to push it along the marks.]

[As you push the sofa, you hear a noise above you. Looking up, you see a square opening drop down from the ceiling, and a rope ladder falls with the secret entrance.]

[Will you climb the rope ladder and enter the opening?]

"Heh, kiddo, still not out of my palm’s reach in the end."

Lin Xun smiles and presses the ’Yes’ option.

[You approach the rope ladder, ready to climb up...]

[Just as your hands grab the rungs and you pull yourself up, you feel the whole ladder pulled down a notch.]

[At the same time, noises emerge from the depths of the opening above, sending down a beam of light.]

[You have triggered a teleportation trap...]

[Teleporting...]

[...]

"F*ck, Underworld Game, damn you, this isn’t over!"

Lin Xun hadn’t expected that even the doorway to such a hidden chamber would be rigged with a trap, and no less than the most annoying kind—a teleportation trap.

[...]

[Transport Successful!]

[You open your eyes to find yourself surrounded by the cold, dark expanse of the void, and you are trapped within a colossal cage...]

Lin Xun shivers, recalling the fear of being dominated by the Son of Stars when he was once imprisoned in the Cage of Impounding Stars.

[The bars imprisoning you are not created from characters of light but are forged from the condensed starlight.]

[This setting is all too familiar; you explored here not long ago.]

[The ’Starlight Prison’ you are in is the same that once held the ’Abyssal Destroyer Demon’.]

Lin Xun breathes a sigh of relief, realizing it’s the ’Starlight Prison’.

The Starlight Prison is incredibly secure, making it virtually impossible to break out by force.

But this is no problem for him.

Within the entire Polar Star Association branch, aside from the Star Realm Envoys, the ’Starlight Priest’ in his Shell column also has the authority to open the cage.

After possessing the ’Starlight Priest’, Lin Xun easily escapes and directly teleports back to the Polar Star Association branch.

"Lots of tricks up your sleeve, but let’s see what else you’ve got!"

He makes his way back to the Star Realm Envoy’s office at the top level, where the sofa that opened the secret chamber had returned to its place.

With the previous experience, as soon as the square opening and rope ladder are revealed, Lin Xun ignores the climbing option the Underworld Game presents and uses his extraordinary power to make Shell ascend into the air and dive straight into the secret chamber.

[...]

[Upon entering the square opening, you discover a cramped attic with a spartan office located within.]

[You jump up, reach out, and rip off a hidden refined copper trap device located above the entrance.]

[You have obtained a ’Teleportation Trap Device’ (prop)!]

[’Teleportation Trap Device’ (prop): The device is engraved with a subordinate magic array for teleportation. When the device is within one kilometer of the main teleportation magic array, it can be activated by the trap device and teleport the target that triggers the trap.]

[Current trap device energy: 50/100]

"I didn’t get many valuable treasures, but I ended up with loads of trap devices."

Lin Xun comments wearily and continues to explore by manipulating Shell.

Suddenly, he opens his inventory, reads the item description again, and a crafty idea comes to mind.

"This trap seems to have other uses; I wonder if the Flesh Authority could exploit this loophole."

Lin Xun plans to finish exploring this place before trying out his idea.

[In the attic’s simple office, there’s only a desk and a chair.]

[You stride forward and find a stack of papers on the desk with words scratched out and several paragraphs crossed out; they appear to be drafts.]

[You have discovered the ’Draft Report on Exploring the Abyss’ (document)!]
