Chapter 783 The Tower of Taurus (3)
Chapter 783 The Tower of Taurus (3)
Furthermore, he noticed that the path without any of those hidden symbols was riddled with strange traps, and he didn\'t dare step inside to experience them. Moreover, this time, there wasn\'t a condition like \'not to trigger any traps,\' so he was more at ease, but still, he didn\'t dare belittle this place.
As Jacob ventured deeper into the labyrinth, the entire structure suddenly trembled. The next moment, the walls began to close in, the pressure mounting.
Jacob was startled and quickly picked up his speed. The path twisted and turned as he searched for those symbols, but to his shock, there were none as he was busy escaping getting crushed by those walls. Although it was still debatable if they could really crush him, he didn\'t want to stay and find out. The path was leading him in circles. Dead ends appeared and disappeared, and the carvings on the walls seemed to mock him with their cryptic messages.
At this moment, Jacob didn\'t care about a series of deadly traps hidden within the labyrinth. As he stopped in these corridors with traps he experienced, pressure plates triggered hidden glowing spikes, illusionary walls concealed bottomless pits, and darts shot from unseen apertures. Jacob had to rely on his Eyes of Judge, enhanced senses, and quick reflexes to avoid falling victim to these treacherous deceptions.
At this point, Jacob finally saw the symbol he was searching for as his body twisted, and the next moment, he finally got out of that strange part of the maze.
In front of him, the labyrinth now stretched out before him, a maze of twisting corridors and dead ends appeared.
He followed the unique symbols carefully, his path a winding ribbon through the stone labyrinth.
In this part of the labyrinth, he found crimson symbols appearing and marking areas of danger, their glow intensifying as he approached. Some of these areas contained hidden traps, and others were even guarded by illusionary creatures.
Jacob\'s expression changed when the labyrinth suddenly trembled violently again, and he knew something strange was coming again.
At this moment, Jacob suddenly felt the temperature rise, and he heard the wind whistling. He quickly looked up, and he was shocked when he saw four burning rocks falling towards him!
Jacob\'s agility and reflexes were put to the test again, he quickly dodged the falling burning rocks.
Just when he moved to the next corridor, the walls suddenly turned bright, and magic blasts shot towards him while those strange creatures were charging at him at ridiculous speed!
He quickly evaded those magic blasts and outmaneuvered the illusory creatures. His mind raced, calculating his next move, while his body reacted instinctively.
Hours passed as Jacob navigated the labyrinth, and even he started to feel somewhat tired. The challenges grew increasingly complex. He encountered puzzles that tested his intelligence, traps that demanded quick reflexes, and creatures that pushed him. It was far more taxing than fighting.
The puzzles were quickly solved with the help of his Eyes of Judge, for they were merely patterns hidden within the walls, and his eyes could see through all lies and deceptions. Furthermore, those puzzles were not overly complex or required searching other areas to find clues, or maybe that\'s the case for him. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Every time he solved a puzzle, new pathways opened, and he carefully moved forward.
At this moment, Jacob appeared in a long corridor. Finally, a glimmer of light appeared at the end of the corridor, which was quite strange in this gloomy atmosphere.
As he approached, the light grew brighter, and the entire scenery suddenly shifted. He found himself in a completely new environment, and he knew it wasn\'t an illusion.
Around Jacob was a massive, cavernous space filled with jagged rocks and molten lava.
The air was thick with the smell of sulfur, and the ground trembled beneath his feet. The walls were lined with forges, and in the center of the room, a colossal forge pulsed with an intense heat.
Furthermore, raw materials floated in the air, enveloped in an enteral bubble. Jacob was astounded when he saw this strange place, and he knew this was another strange test.
Jacob took a deep breath, his mind racing. He had survived the labyrinth and appeared in the next level.
To confirm it, he quickly opened Cursed Immortality, and just as he suspected, the new words appeared in the book.
"Level Three: The Earthen Forger
"Challenge: Create an Earth Element Affinity Treasure of Advanced Quasi Legend Rank using the provided materials, treasure design, and tools in the Third Level within Eight Hours!
"Remaining Time: 07H:59M:55S"
Jacob\'s expression changed slightly when he read the details of this peculiar challenge, and there was even a time limit to complete it.
\'These tower trials are fascinating. No wonder it\'s so hard to complete. It\'s not just a test for fighting prowess but also the test of skills and knowledge.\' Jacob\'s teeth rose slightly as he flashed an eerie smile.
Although it might be somewhat difficult for others, for him, this challenge was more than welcoming since his forging skills were something he was proud of, and he never stopped practicing and learning more.
Since time was limited, Jacob quickly acted as he moved towards the materials hovering in the air, encased in those strange bubbles.
Furthermore, he was astounded to find tools in those bubbles, and he finally understood why he wasn\'t given any, even though they were mentioned in the challenge.
But first, Jacob moved towards the center of the cavern, where a colossal forge pulsed with intense heat, its fiery core casting dancing shadows across the cavern walls. The air was thick with the scent of molten metal and ozone, and the ground trembled with the forge\'s rhythmic heartbeat.
However, Jacob\'s actual focus was not this forge but something beside it. Suspended in mid-air was a holographic interface. Its surface shimmered with complex diagrams and symbols; it was the design for the treasure he needed to forge!
