BXBX NOVEL Chapter 136 Trapped
"It\'s only the very first step towards the entrance and a trap is already in place."
"I wonder just how many traps will there be inside this pyramid."
Alex raised his head and looked at the pyramid.
Feeling like there\'s an ominous aura covering the whole pyramid.
Shaking his head, Alex said, "It doesn\'t matter. I\'ll just take a look inside. Maybe I can find a Legendary-class monster inside."
With that thought, Alex decided to continue heading up the pyramid.
While staying vigilant, Alex took a step on the stairs again.
Luckily, there\'s no more trap that got triggered this time.
Looking at the first trap that got triggered, Alex said, "Maybe it got triggered because of my passive luck."
"After all, if I just entered without knowing that there are traps inside the pyramid, I will probably act carelessly."
"Now it\'s good, I\'m staying alert and trying to observe my surroundings."
Alex felt thankful for his luck.
Because if not for it, there\'s a chance that he\'ll get injured or even die inside the pyramid if he encounters a powerful trap.
Turning around, Alex continued moving.
In front of the entrance, Alex saw that there\'s a stairs that\'s heading down after he passed through the entrance.
On the walls of the pyramid, Alex saw that there are torches that\'s still burning with fire to light up the inside of the pyramid.
Seeing that the torches seemed new, Alex wondered, "Is there someone living around here who maintains this?"
With that question lingering on his mind, Alex went down inside the pyramid.
While walking, Alex noticed that the deeper he goes down into the pyramid, the colder his surroundings become.
After a while, Alex reached the end of the stairs and arrived in a small room.
The moment Alex entered the room, his eyes got attracted to a podium that is placed at the center of the room.
On top of the podium, a floating book that is exuding a humming sound is in place.
"What is this?"
Curiously, Alex approached the podium to see the book closer.
But when he did, light suddenly burst out from the book and an old sinister voice echoed in the room.
"Those who dare to trespass my grave shall never dream of finding escape!"
Suddenly, the light from the book turned black as if it was contaminated by something.
Then when that black light shone in the room, the walls, the ground, the ceiling, and even the podium, everything got dyed black!
Alex became alert after seeing all this.
He prepared himself to fight but after waiting for a minute, nothing happened beside that the surroundings walls are now as black as ink.
Seeing that, Alex relaxed a little.
Then looking at the book or maybe tome that has now become just a black book, Alex frowned,
"That voice from earlier… Was it from the owner of this pyramid?"
"Is someone really buried here?"
Thinking of that, Alex hesitated whether to continue exploring or not.
Shaking his head, he said, "Since I\'m already here, I should take a look at what this place is like."
But then, Alex remembered the words of the voice just now and frowned,
"I wonder what that voice means. Is he being for real? Maybe I\'m already trapped here with no way out."
Thinking of that, Alex\'s eyes changed.
He hurriedly looked behind and saw that the entrance to the pyramid had indeed disappeared.
Alex\'s face immediately became unsightly.
"What the hell? How am I going to finish my trial like this?"
Massaging his aching forehead, Alex sighed.
Then after thinking for a bit, he said, "No, maybe I can find the one who locked me here in the pyramid."
"Then I can just go and beat him up to open up the way again."
After coming up with a way to resolve his troubles, Alex calmed himself.
"No time to waste, I should hurry up and find that bastard."
In the room, there are 3 more paths that lead to an unknown destination.
One in front, and one each on his left and right.
Since Alex is in a rush, he turned on [Fortune] and took a gold coin from his inventory.
"So, I\'ll decide where to go with this coin."
"If it landed on head, I\'ll go to the left, if it landed on tails, I\'ll go to the path in front."
Alex thought for a bit as to how he should proceed with the other path and said,
"Then… then if in between and make the coin stand, I will go to the right."
After saying that, Alex didn\'t hesitate and threw the coin.
The coin rotated a couple of times in mid air before it landed on the ground.
Cling clang~
The coin rolled for a while before finally, it stopped.
Seeing the coin, Alex nodded, "Okay, it\'s decided. I\'ll go the right path!"
The coin that Alex threw actually stood up and was neither heads nor tails.
This kind of thing can only be possible with the help of luck!
Anyway, Alex picked up the coin and started moving to the right path.
At the same time, Alex didn\'t forget to turn off [Fortune].
Alex walked for a while and for 30 minutes, all he saw was just the wall and a few torches that barely lit up the dark inside of the pyramid.
By the way, while walking, Alex noticed that the walls outside the room he came from weren\'t contaminated or had become black.
Alex is still wondering why it is like that.
Anyway, after another 30 minutes more of just walking, Alex finally saw something different.
A wide room that is adorned with unknown inscriptions and an altar that seems to be for worshiping some gods.
On the walls, Alex also saw some \'drawings\' that depict people worshiping a giant crow with a crown.
Which is also the reason why Alex can easily guess that the altar is used for worship.
Alex looked around the room for a while trying to find something.
After a while, Alex finally discovered something.
