looking at the massive stone door, a slight frown creased zhao tian''s eyebrow and he used his astral sense to check the surroundings.
there is nothing in this forest except for this enormous door and maybe he could find some clues to exit this space behind this door?
"guess i got no other choice..."
taking a deep breath, zhao tian raised his hands and pressed them against the cold, rough surface of the door as he pushed it gently, testing its weight.
the door didn''t budge, not even an inch.
"if that''s how it is..."
a blue glint passed through his eyes and his muscles condensed as he began to push the heavy door with all of his strength.
*creek* the stone door slowly began to creak open and zhao tian glanced at the dark narrow pathway in front of him.
*tap* he walked into the dark pathway, his footsteps echoing through the tunnel.
seeing that the pathway ahead was completely dark, zhao tian raised his arm and a spark of flame appeared on his palm lighting the space.
as he continued his walk, *slish* the next step he took, his foot slightly submerged in the tile.
hm? his instincts kicked in and he quickly took a step back *sleesh* *thoom* an enormous spear struck the place where he stood just now obliterating the tiles.
looking at this, zhao tian''s eyes condensed "traps? so... this is like a labyrinth and i can''t fly around because of the restriction imposed. i have to be careful."
taking a deep breath, zhao tian gently jumped a little, preparing himself as green wind energy swirled around his body.
he bent forward as a green glint passed through his eyes.
*woooshhh* leaving a green trail, he dashed through the tunnel at full speed like a motion blur.
*swish* *swish* as he dashed forward, more traps were triggered. arrows shot from the walls, blades swung from the ceiling, and hidden spikes erupted from the floor, but as zhao tian was faster he easily dodged them.
*clang* looking at the large axe that was swinging from the top, aiming for his head, zhao tian deftly sidestepped, dodging the axe, and continued his dash.
*swish* a thin stream of purple gas was leaking through the cracks in the stone, slithering into the air like a poisonous vapor and zhao tian quickly understood what it was and dashed to the door at the end of the chamber.
*swish* using the wind elemental, he sprinted through the floor at breaking speed and the large door also slowly began to close.
*woosh* the purple gas quickly filled the whole room and zhao tian held his breath.
a green gleam flickered through his legs and cleaving the air he shot towards the door.
the floor blurred beneath his feet as the gas began to spread, creeping closer, filling the chamber with a thick, purplish haze.
*sleesh* just as the stone door was about to close, he slipped in between them, entering the next area.
*thud* as the door closed, zhao tian glanced at the next open chamber and saw the small forest that was within the chamber.
there is no sky or sunlight but still there is plantation inside the chamber.
with careful steps, he walked through the plants and at this time, he raised his gaze to look at the large tree, which is on the center of the chamber.
there are some apple like fruits hanging on the branches of the forests, which looked so edible.
however, zhao tian chose not to do anything, as he could not just eat anything growing in a tree where even sunlight doesn''t reach.
but at this time, he sensed something in the space and his frown deepened ''this is all an illusion...?''
even though he is not so proficient in illusion, he can somewhat feel the faint energy of the illusion spell being used here.
he closed his eyes to focus and as he reopened his eyes, all of the illusion vanished and this chamber is also completely empty.
*flick* however, at this time, suddenly a white thing flickered in front of him and a melodic voice reached his ears.
"i hath finally met thee, o fateless one!"
