Chapter 932: Do Not Enter Any House

In the original world, her circle of happy interactions was very small, with even fewer people she was connected to. Logically, upon returning to this world, the first thing to do would be to improve interpersonal relationships and make as many friends as possible. But the situation was different now…
Faced with Yipin Hall and the Blood Alliance formed independently by the Blood-Clothed Ones, small self-developed groups like the “Hunter Family” would only bring disaster upon them. The outcome would be either the destruction of the Hunter Family or them being kept at a distance.
Happy didn’t want this to happen, so she decided to nip it in the bud right from the start!
Entering Wanshou Villa—a fortress built at great expense—Happy quickly understood why it could remain intact despite the overwhelming pressure from the Central Plains army.
…
The walls of Wanshou Villa were extremely solid, made of special rock materials assembled in a unique structure, making them even harder to destroy than the walls of the main hall. Inside the villa was a huge artificial labyrinth, divided into sections by numerous walls. Each section was quite large, containing houses, rockeries, streams, plants, trees, and, of course, the disciples of Wanshou Villa.
The situation inside Wanshou Villa was complex. It had a somewhat “Demonic Cave” vibe, with traps everywhere—on the walls, ceilings, beneath the bluestone bricks, near plants and trees, under streams, and even in indoor potted plants, decorations, doors, and windows. Even the most inconspicuous holes could unleash deadly hidden weapons at any moment. It was a place full of constant danger!
Moreover, once the number of people in any section exceeded fifty, destructive traps would activate, such as copper oil sprayed from all corners or dense, gapless poison needles…
Thus, although Wanshou Villa was popular, it was only popular among those on the outside. Few dared to venture inside—because unless they were top experts, they usually neither wanted nor could go deep inside.
As for the core area, the Gathering of Talents Hall of Wanshou Villa, since its construction, only three people had ever entered…
One Emperor!
Shadow!
The Evil Emperor!
It was said that Shadow even paid a heavy price, sacrificing many top experts from the Xifeng Tower just to enter the Gathering of Talents Hall.
Wanshou Villa was truly a deadly place in the martial world.
But for Happy, it was the perfect place for cultivation!
At least inside Wanshou Villa, there would be no dense crowds of enemies, nor would anyone risk being attacked by countless traps just to find her…

“I remember the forum materials saying that flying high inside Wanshou Villa is not allowed, especially flying over the courtyard walls, as it will attract continuous attacks from Piercing Wind Needles. How much wealth has this damned merchant ruined?”
They passed through the second courtyard.
Since the “Hunter Family” had already cleared it, no enemies could be seen here. After avoiding several damaged traps, they happily arrived in front of a circular archway…
Whoosh!!
Wind swept overhead!
The moment they passed through the circular archway, a sharp metal spike suddenly fell from above.
“…”
Happy turned back to look at the archway, which now seemed harmless once again. Frowning slightly, he straightened up and surveyed the second courtyard.
It was said that to get from outside the villa to the inside, one needed to go through at least nine courtyards with good luck… and with bad luck, one might wander in the maze forever.
Each courtyard had more and more traps, and the strength of the Wanshou Villa’s disciples also increased steadily.
The moment they entered the second courtyard, Happy was stunned again…
It was still empty.
But upon closer inspection, it seemed that a large number of fierce beasts had once been kept here, as many places were covered with their footprints, claw marks, as well as feces and shed fur.
“The Hunter Family must have led the beast tamer out of this courtyard… I can go straight to the third courtyard…” Realizing what was going on, Happy scanned the area, but his gaze fell on a house with closed doors and windows across the stream.
“Brother!”
The sound of footsteps came from behind, and the members of the Hunter Family followed in.
Seeing Happy walk toward the house, the leader of the Hunter Family couldn’t help but warn him:
“It’s best not to enter the houses in Wanshou Villa!”
“Why?”
Stopping and turning, Happy looked back at the hunter leader in surprise.
The latter hesitated slightly:
“…Have you never heard the saying in Wanshou Villa: ‘Never enter any house’?” The members of the Hunter Family nodded solemnly.
“…”
Seeing that Happy didn’t believe him, the leader hurriedly explained:
“There are traps everywhere in Wanshou Villa, and it’s indeed very dangerous. But in the courtyards, there’s plenty of space to move around, so it’s actually easy to avoid them. Ordinary experts won’t get into trouble as long as they’re careful. But inside the houses, it’s different…”
“…I’d like to hear more details.”
Hearing Happy’s reply, the members of the Hunter Family exchanged glances:
As expected.

A man from the Central Plains who doesn’t even know the basics of the Myriad Beasts Villa yet possesses such formidable skills—he must be the highly rumored comatose expert “Happy”!
“Every building in the Myriad Beasts Villa was meticulously designed by skilled craftsmen and trap masters; each room is essentially a death trap! Although some quite impressive items can be found in the cabinets and chests inside, the places are extremely dangerous. Even the simplest levels can easily kill a group of experts at the Liberation Realm. Once the traps are triggered, one doesn’t even know how they die, and the patterns change each time… Even top experts dare not enter lightly, as it’s a life-or-death struggle! Many have lost their lives there over the past six months, listed on the Dragon List and Phoenix List.”
“…”
Happy felt his scalp tingle after hearing what the hunter clan leader said, but he became even more determined to explore what lay inside.
After so long of operating “Jianghu,” they had never encountered such an enticing area… If he didn’t go in to see for himself and let a few words scare him away, would that still be Happy?
“Has anyone ever succeeded in getting something good out of there?”
“Yes, but rarely.”
The hunter clan leader’s tone was unusual, as if he realized Happy hadn’t given up.
Happy smiled: “It’s good that there are such people. Tell me, what good things have those who came out taken with them?”
“Well, it’s hard to say, but pills, valuable imperial treasures, martial arts secrets, and equipment are definitely among them.”
“I heard that two months ago, someone got a secret manual for hidden weapons at the Liberation Realm called ‘Snow Shadow Darts,’ which was sold for 50 million silver taels,” added the female Gu master behind the hunter clan leader.
Happy immediately became interested.
A secret manual for hidden weapons at the Liberation Realm was something even top NPCs at the Wuwei Realm rarely possessed. In another world, Happy had killed countless people yet never obtained one—this was indeed a highly sought-after treasure.
Its value was even on par with martial arts manuals of the Wuwei Realm…
Since martial arts manuals of this caliber could be found in the buildings of the Myriad Beasts Villa, it meant that any martial arts manuals that appeared there would surely be of high quality.
Coincidentally!
Happy was about to reach the Liberation Realm soon and would need such manuals soon.
At this time, instead of wasting time collecting information on them, it was better to spend more time practicing, while also obtaining some secret manuals from the Myriad Beasts Villa.
He believed that if he could get a manual from the villa, even if its quality wasn’t as good as “Heavenly Sky Thunder Strike,” it would still be excellent.
“I’ve decided to go in!”
Happy suddenly said, “Everyone, go ahead as you please.”

The members of the Hunter Family could sense an extremely strong sense of confidence and determination from their joyful expressions and words. The Hunter Captain could no longer persuade them: “If that’s the case, we wish you a safe return.” “…” Nodding, Happy turned and walked toward the house not far away. … The two-story, old yellow building exuded a solemn and imposing atmosphere. On either side of the closed door’s steps stood two slightly tilted stone lions, lifelike and fierce, with their mouths wide open as if guarding the building like divine beasts. The group from the Hunter Family stood carefully about twenty meters away, watching Happy approach the house with wary eyes, holding their breath as they gazed at this building that seemed to command respect with its brass-like presence. “Will he be okay?” “Who knows?” The Hunter Captain replied softly to the shaman’s question. Everyone’s gaze swept over the house ahead… Many of those present were experts at setting traps, but they still knew little about the most dangerous areas of the Beast Manor. With this opportunity to understand its traps, they naturally didn’t want to miss it and stayed put, carefully examining every possible spot for traps—doors and windows… steps… the stone carvings outside the door… Their eyes burned with intensity. Just then, Happy stepped onto the steps… A spring mechanism activated! The door opened; stone lions on either side of the steps simultaneously fired bursts of needle-thin darts. At the same time, three long spears were shot out from inside the suddenly open house. Yet none of this slowed Happy down at all. His pace quickened, and all the darts missed, hitting the pillars on the opposite side. Facing the incoming spears, Happy didn’t even blink and simply passed through the gaps between them… From triggering the traps to dodging them, it all happened in an instant. There was no exaggerated movement like that of ordinary players avoiding traps! “Watch your head!!” The trap setters warned in unison. Before their words faded, a large swarm of cold arrows shot straight down from a hidden dark area beneath a bright plaque on the second floor of the house… Instead of retreating, Happy stepped forward and rushed inside first. Thwack! Thwack! Nearly a hundred arrows were neatly embedded in the door and steps! In the blink of an eye, the Hunter Captain saw Happy swiftly swat away a white streak of light shot from inside the house, after which the door slammed shut with a bang, cutting off all visibility. “So fast.”

A group of trap masters stared at the three long spears embedded outside the house, the hair-thin needles on the pillars on both sides, and the crossbows scattered across the steps, feeling a chill rise from deep within. Three layers… four layers of interconnected traps, enough to instantly kill a master at the Liberation realm. Yet… they failed to force even a player at the Life and Death realm to take a step back!
