The Heroines Can Hear My and the Protagonist's Inner Voice!?
Chapter 237: StatueThe stone collapsed inward.
THUD!
Darkness appeared.
A tunnel.
Ancient.
Untouched.
Cold air rushed outward.
And...
With it...
Qi.
Dense.
Violent.
Everyone became silent.
Lu Chen smiled.
"There."
Rose stared into the tunnel.
Then...
His thoughts entered her mind.
[This is mine.]
Her expression flattened.
Naturally.
. . .
Twenty minutes later...
Shen Tian’s vehicle reached the abandoned road.
He stepped out.
Looked around.
Then immediately saw the distant dust cloud.
"..."
Xu Ning appeared.
[He punched the mountain.]
Shen Tian stared.
"Seriously?"
[Yes.]
"Couldn’t find another way?"
[Apparently not.]
Shen Tian sighed.
"Mercenary."
He started walking.
No flashlight.
No scanner.
No equipment.
Just his hands inside his pockets.
Xu Ning floated beside him.
[You could at least bring a bag.]
"For what?"
[Supplies.]
"I have storage."
[Water.]
"Storage."
[Food.]
"Storage."
[Medical...]
Shen Tian looked toward her.
She stopped.
[Right.]
Shen Tian smiled.
"System."
Xu Ning sighed.
[Fine.]
They reached the cliff.
The giant hole was impossible to miss.
Shen Tian looked at it.
Then...
A faint smirk appeared.
"Very subtle."
He entered.
. . .
Inside...
Lu Chen and Black Wolf had already reached the first chamber.
The tunnel opened into an enormous underground hall.
Ancient stone pillars lined both sides.
Faded carvings covered the walls.
Warriors.
Armies.
Banners.
Bodies.
At the center...
A massive statue stood.
A general wearing ancient armor.
Sword planted into the ground.
Rose moved her flashlight across it.
"Chinese?"
Ghost examined the carvings.
"Very old."
Lu Chen looked toward the statue.
Then...
The eyes opened.
Red.
Bear stepped backward.
"That’s not good."
The entire chamber shook.
Ancient dust fell.
The statue moved.
Stone cracked around its joints.
Then...
The sword lifted.
BOOOOOOM!
The giant weapon slammed into the floor.
Everyone scattered.
Rose rolled.
Ghost dove behind a pillar.
Bear barely avoided being crushed.
Lu Chen smiled.
Finally.
Something simple.
A fight.
He moved.
Qi exploded.
His fist struck the statue’s knee.
BOOM!
Stone cracked.
The statue swung.
Lu Chen jumped.
Sword passed beneath him.
He landed on the arm.
Ran upward.
Then punched the head.
CRACK!
The statue staggered.
Bear raised a shotgun loaded with specialized penetrator rounds.
"Move!"
Lu Chen jumped.
Bear fired.
BOOM!
The blast struck the cracked knee.
Stone exploded.
The statue dropped.
Rose moved.
Two knives flew.
Qi wrapped around them.
They struck the exposed neck.
Ghost fired from distance.
Another crack.
Lu Chen landed.
Then...
His aura surged.
He stepped forward.
One punch.
Full power.
BOOOOOOM!
The statue’s head shattered.
Silence.
Stone collapsed.
Dust filled the chamber.
Bear coughed.
"That all?"
Rose looked toward the next corridor.
"No chance."
Lu Chen smiled.
"Good."
. . .
Far behind...
Shen Tian heard the explosion.
He kept walking.
Xu Ning looked toward him.
[You’re really not going to help?]
"No."
[What if they die?]
"Then I’ll take the inheritance without competition."
Xu Ning stared.
"Relax."
Shen Tian smiled.
"Lu Chen isn’t dying to the first guard."
[You sound confident.]
"He has half a million Fate."
"He’s practically insured by Heaven."
Xu Ning laughed.
[Fair.]
Shen Tian entered the chamber just after Black Wolf disappeared through the opposite passage.
He looked toward the destroyed statue.
Then...
The shattered head.
"...Messy."
Xu Ning floated closer.
[You would have done it cleaner?]
Shen Tian raised one hand.
Golden Qi gathered.
Then...
He pointed toward another identical statue on the side wall.
A tiny beam crossed the room.
THOOM!
The statue’s forehead gained a perfectly round hole.
Then...
Its entire body collapsed inward.
Dust fell.
Shen Tian smiled.
"Yes."
Xu Ning stared.
[Show-off.]
"Accurate."
. . .
The second trial wasn’t a fight.
It was worse.
A stone bridge stretched across a massive underground chasm.
No railing.
No visible bottom.
Ancient symbols covered every section.
Ghost crouched.
"Pressure plates."
Rose looked across.
"How many?"
"Probably all of them."
Bear stared.
"So don’t step?"
Ghost looked at him.
"Excellent contribution."
Lu Chen walked forward.
Rose grabbed his arm.
"Boss."
"What?"
"Maybe let Ghost work."
Lu Chen looked toward the bridge.
Then smiled.
"Too slow."
He stepped onto the first tile.
CLICK.
Everyone froze.
Arrows erupted from the walls.
Lu Chen moved.
His body blurred.
He dodged.
More arrows.
Second step.
SPEARS erupted from below.
He jumped.
Third.
Stone blades swung.
Rose stared.
"He’s insane."
Bear nodded.
"Yes."
Lu Chen continued.
Every trap activated.
Every trap missed.
Barely.
Halfway across...
His thoughts echoed.
[Shen Tian couldn’t do this.]
Rose closed her eyes.
"Of course."
Lu Chen looked back.
"What?"
"Nothing."
He continued.
Eventually...
He reached the other side.
No injuries.
He turned.
"Come on."
Ghost stared at the bridge.
Every trap was now active.
Arrows.
Spears.
Blades.
Fire.
He looked toward Rose.
Rose looked toward him.
Then...
Bear.
Bear sighed.
"I hate ruins."
. . .
Ten minutes later...
Shen Tian reached the same bridge.
He looked toward the traps.
Then...
At the distant figures disappearing through the corridor.
Xu Ning smiled.
[Your turn.]
Shen Tian stared.
"No."
[No?]
He looked upward.
The ceiling was sixty feet above.
Then...
His Qi gathered beneath his feet.
He stepped into the air.
Xu Ning blinked.
Shen Tian walked.
Not flew.
Walked.
Golden Qi formed invisible platforms beneath every step.
He crossed above the traps.
Completely untouched.
Xu Ning stared.
[Host.]
"What?"
[That’s cheating.]
"Skill issue."
[...]
Shen Tian reached the other side.
Then continued.
. . .
The third chamber contained beasts.
Not stone.
Alive.
At least...
Something close to alive.
Huge wolf-like creatures emerged from holes in the walls.
Their bodies were covered in black scales.
Their eyes glowed red.
Eight.
Then twelve.
Then...
Twenty.
Bear raised his weapon.
"Oh."
Rose drew knives.
Ghost moved backward.
Lu Chen smiled.
"Finally."
The wolves charged.
Chaos erupted.
Lu Chen moved through them.
Punch.
Kick.
Elbow.
Qi explosions.
Bear fired.
Ghost picked targets.
Rose moved like a shadow.
One beast lunged toward her.
She ducked.
Knife entered its throat.
Another attacked from behind.
Lu Chen appeared.
Punch.
The creature’s skull collapsed.
Rose looked toward him.
"Thanks."
Lu Chen smiled.
"Always."
Then...
His thoughts reached her.
