Chapter 626 626: A Close Call But No Danger


Good grief, a gleaming sword swished right in front of him. Had he not been quick to react, the sharp blade would have truly stabbed into his back.


He hadn't even fully caught his breath and truly rested when he suddenly felt many arrows shooting towards him from all directions.


He swiftly turned around and then hung himself tightly onto the chandelier.


Fortunately, his build was rather nimble and he faced no disturbances on the chandelier.


At that moment, Ye Chen saw the arrows being fired and then hitting the ground.


Just as he was wiping the sweat from his brow, suddenly, Ye Chen felt a current pass through his wrist, and he concluded that the chandelier must have also been tampered with.


Then, he quickly jumped down from the chandelier and landed steadily on the ground.


Had he not reacted quickly, he would have been electrocuted by now, and instead of jumping down himself, he would have been shot to the ground by the electricity.


He moved his arms a little. Although he felt a bit numb, he didn't seem to be severely injured and thought he could recover quickly.


Immediately after, he suddenly felt the ground beneath him shake, and instinctively, he stumbled several steps backward.


Suddenly, he felt the ground start to sink, so Ye Chen vaulted up again, leaping forward step by step like hopping up stairs.


Only after reaching a corner did he see that indeed traps were set below, and each pitfall likely had bottomless abysses waiting for him.


However, had he not fallen, those places would soon return to their normal state.


Seeing this, Ye Chen took a deep breath.


He hadn't expected one trap to follow another so closely.


Before he could react, he felt something strange at his curtain so he quickly darted behind the sofa.


Sure enough, a precious sword thrust out from that spot, which would have hit his head had Ye Chen not dodged.


Ye Chen knew the entire room was extremely dangerous, and if he really wanted to escape from there, he would have to do so smoothly.


The lobby on the first floor was probably sealed off by now, so an exit from there didn't look promising.


Ye Chen could only hope to make his way to the second floor, and he quickly prepared to ascend the stairs.


But unexpectedly, just as he was halfway up the stairs, he suddenly felt empty space beneath him. Thankfully, with his fast reflexes, he leapt and used the wall to securely bring himself to the second floor.


Looking back, he saw that the whole staircase had completely collapsed.


It must have been some mechanism or remote control that destroyed the stairs as soon as he climbed them.


After reaching the second floor, he looked around.


He knew if traps could be set on the first floor, the second floor would also have traps waiting for him.


But no matter the type of trap, staying there was ultimately dangerous, and he had to find a way to safely navigate past them.


With the first-floor windows sealed, what about the second floor? Could every room on the second floor also have its windows sealed?


Then, Ye Chen entered the first room, looked around, and regrettably found that the window in this room was also sealed.


He then went to the room opposite and found the same condition—the room was securely sealed.


It seemed that Hei Hu had really made a thorough preparation and left no way out.


He walked out of the room and was about to head to the end of the corridor when he suddenly felt a chill on his back.


Eventually, he rolled onto the ground and quickly tumbled forward.


When he reached the end of the corridor, he looked back and saw many arrows shooting out from the walls, which were now stuck in the opposite wall.


After that, he glanced to the side and discovered a staircase leading upward.


Normally, this staircase should lead to the rooftop.


If he could navigate this way, it would be his only way out for today.


Just as he was about to ascend, suddenly Ye Chen felt a large black net swooping towards him, and in response, he vaulted down from the steps, but it was already too late.


He felt a large net, like a fishing net, tightly wrap around him.


Ye Chen looked down at the net, which was evidently specially crafted for him, and touched its thick ropes.


He struggled forcefully but found that no matter how much he struggled, the net didn't budge an inch.


Hei Hu, watching from outside the surveillance, burst into laughter.


Honestly, Ye Chen's dodging and weaving through the traps on the first floor had already surprised him greatly.


Such precision in design, ordinarily even a highly skilled individual might not evade it.


But unexpectedly, Ye Chen handled everything easily so Hei Hu pinned all his hopes on the second floor.


This net on the second floor was essentially Hei Hu's final contraption. If this still could not deal with Ye Chen, he knew that this time the odds were likely against him.


Unexpectedly, this time it did not disappoint him; the net perfectly enveloped Ye Chen, tightly wrapping him up.
