Chapter 163: The Reversal of the Law (Part 3)
After advancing ten meters, the smell of blood grew stronger.
Tess, her tension rising, was about to tell Shirone to slow down when suddenly the cave shook, and blunt pillars shot out from the walls. Their speed and size were enough to crush a human.
Shirone’s group reflexively stepped back.
From a distance, it looked even more bizarre. Dozens of pillars had shot out from the cave walls, crisscrossing each other.
Shirone shouted, "Is everyone okay? Is anyone hurt?"
Amy replied, "Yeah. I think we’re fine. Shirone, you?"
Shirone said, "I’m fine too. Was it a trap?"
Tess said, "No. There’s no sign of artificial modification in the cave. Besides, if it were a trap, the activation point would’ve been much later."
Tess was right. If they had really wanted to kill them, they would’ve lured them to an inescapable point before triggering the trap. But the pillars seemed designed to deter entry, shooting out from the front.
Shirone asked, "If it’s not a trap, then what is it?"
A boy’s voice came from the end of the cave.
