As soon as Casey entered the room, he felt a bit chill. When he looked up, he saw a long corridor in front of him.
The light in this corridor was dim. There were many complicated patterns on the surrounding walls. If Casey himself didn't known that he was on the third floor, he might have thought that he had entered a weird passage in an ancient tomb.
At the end of the corridor, there was a door. If he guessed correctly, the other door mentioned by the staffs was at the end of the corridor.
Since this was a trial, Casey wouldn't think that this gloomy corridor was just a common corridor. If he guessed right, the corridor should be full of traps.
The simpler the place looked like, the more unexpected danger it hidden. If this corridor was really so easy to pass, Ernie and the others would not be so frightened and panicked when they mentioned the trial.
Casey stepped onto the corridor. Without warning, a few holes suddenly appeared on the walls on both sides. Sixteen arrows carrying powerful strength shot at Casey directly. Casey was shocked. He quickly stepped onto the second stone slab. At this moment, a huge rock suddenly fell towards his head, without giving him any time to react.
Casey cursed, and then took another step quickly. Suddenly a raging flame burned above the ground, as if it was about to swallow Casey directly.
With his own jumping power, Casey quickly jumped towards the front. After falling on the fourth stone slab, Casey was quietly relieved because no new traps had appeared.
Casey didn't expect that he would encounter such dense traps just as he stepped on the corridor. Looking at the end with more than 100 meters far away, Casey was a little anxious. If there were still so dense traps on the remaining road, even if he reacted quickly, he might be killed by sudden hidden weapons when he was a little careless.
No wonder the people in the dungeon were so afraid of participating in the trial. Even in the face of the temptation of freedom, they still didn’t challenge it. Because the trial was too hard. Ordinary people couldn’t pass it casually.
Casey took a deep breath. He stood on the fourth stone slab to adjust his state. He showed a playful smile.
Although this corridor was terrifying and quite challenging, for Casey, who had always had a lot of confidence in his own strength, it was more like a game.
Casey was also very much looking forward to what would happen the next. According to his estimation, as long as his speed reached the extreme and his reaction reached a perfect state, in the limit of time, he could rush to the end of this corridor in one breath.
There should still be areas in this corridor that gave people a rest like the fourth stone slab. Maybe many people stepped on the kind of stone slab and forced themselves to avoid those weapons, but when they came to these stone slabs which was without danger, they would be hesitant.
Then they would be afraid of the rest challenge, so they didn't dare to take the next step. Even if most people had the ability to avoid these hidden weapons, they would stay on the stone slab for too long because of the fear in their hearts, which would eventually lead them to fail the trial.
After thinking about it carefully, Casey did not act in a hurry. Instead, he stood still and tried to restore his state to the best. Later, he had to challenge himself to rush to the end in one breath. At that speed, he could reach the end of the corridor at most one minute. So staying on the fourth stone slab for a while had no effect to the result.
Outside the door at the end of the corridor, a few staff members walked here. Above the door, there was a display screen with the monitor inside the corridor. They could clearly see the situation of the people participating in the trial.
When the staff members arrived outside, they all looked up at the display screen. They were all slightly surprised when they saw that Casey had stood on the fourth stone slab, but they were still full of disdain.
"This guy is lucky. He escaped the first three traps, but it seems that he is frightened and he doesn't dare to move forward."
"The first three traps are the simplest in this corridor. If he can't even pass these three, he will be dead soon. There are a total of 108 kinds of traps in this corridor. Each is more terrifying than last. That’s not over."
"Look at him, it seems that he really doesn't dare to go forward anymore. No matter how powerful the rest traps are, he doesn't move yet. According to previous experience, this person will probably wait here until the time is up. Then he will die."
...
Several people talked about Casey, but they all were contemptuous of Casey. They didn't think Casey could pass this trial.
It was not that they aimed at Casey. In their eyes, almost everyone who came to participate in the trial sucked. After all, less than one-tenth people were able to come out of the corridor alive. Besides, Casey didn’t look strong, so they naturally felt that it was impossible for Casey to come out alive.
"Do you still remember how long it took the person who passed the corridor the fastest here?" a person asked.
"Eight minutes and seventeenth seconds. You forgot it? That is the fastest in Guanling in the past ten years. Now that person who has passed the trial is already the fifteenth master on List of the Ares. That guy is the real strong master.” Another person replied, with a little admiration in his eyes.
"Tsk-tusk, eight minutes and seventeen seconds? It's really freak. The one inside now might not live for eight minutes."
