Chapter 602: Four Keys, Four Traps

In her past life, Happy had little interaction with Yao Shi Wan Neng, so she was unaware that, aside from his hatred for evil and his extraordinary skill in hand-to-hand combat, he also possessed such remarkable abilities in setting traps.
Happy also noticed that, without any prior clues, Yao Shi Wan Neng had quickly detected subtle abnormalities in the fire basins of the twelve dragon-carved stone pillars. After activating the first layer of hidden traps, he somehow sensed even larger traps hidden behind the four Dharma statues.
“…”
Noticing Yao Shi Wan Neng’s serious and focused gaze, Happy smiled happily: “Can you determine what kind of traps they are?”
“It’s too difficult,” Yao Shi Wan Neng replied slowly, shaking his head. “Unless we destroy the four Dharma statues and explore gradually… But obviously, the system won’t give us that chance. The materials of these statues are extremely hard—likely made of black iron.” He glanced at the two large doors in the front hall and added, “Since they’re complex traps, they must be designed as enclosed death traps! Therefore, it’s likely that two of the Dharma statues control the black iron doors and the entrance… As for the other two, we don’t know yet.”
Before he could finish speaking, “Shadow” frowned, looking grave. “There indeed is a Dragon-Blocking Stone at the entrance that functions like a gate, but it’s never dropped.” This implied that she agreed with Yao Shi Wan Neng’s speculation.
Everyone’s expressions changed. Though they were confident in their own abilities, they still felt uneasy inside the enclosed Tianmo Gate! Unknown dangers were often the most terrifying, and being trapped with no way out would be even worse.
The air seemed to grow tense! For a moment, Shadow hesitated—should she proceed and take the risk of entering the Tianmo Secret Caves?
“Lord Shadow, have you made up your mind?” Happy asked nonchalantly. “You may just be curious, but I have a task that must be carried out. If you decide, we’ll activate the traps.”
Hearing this, Shadow frowned. For the first time, she felt a sense of pressure and discomfort in front of others—after all, the Xifeng Tower couldn’t compare to the Mu Family, which was enormous and had accumulated countless Life and Dream Pills. But if something went wrong for the Xifeng Tower this time, it would likely cause severe damage to their strength.
“…”
Just as Shadow was hesitating whether to go ahead and take the risk, faint and light footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the entrance.

Both sides were highly alert, quickly noticing the movements over there. They all frowned and stared over!
Kai Xin, without turning around, frowned and said, “Since the owner of the Shadow Tower doesn’t respond, and I’m in a hurry, I’ll consider it as an acceptance.” He certainly didn’t want more people to come in and spread news about the Heavenly Demon Secret Cavern quickly.
“…”
“Hmm.” Seeing Kai Xin’s firm tone, Shadow’s bright eyes flashed with determination as she nodded at Wu Kuo, who promptly took out two Heavenly Demon Tokens.
Kai Xin rushed to the altar and handed the two tokens to Yao Shi Wan Neng!
Boom!!!
Entry… Fate… Mystery… Life and death!
A turbulentair current surged from Kai Xin’s body, his power instantly rising to the Life and Death realm!
Seeing Kai Xin preparing so seriously, the others grew tense and didn’t dare slack off. They all activated their realms, ready to face any traps.
A group from the Mu family gathered around the altar…
The six members of the Xifeng Tower also stayed not too far away. After Wu Kuo handed the Heavenly Demon Tokens to Yao Shi Wan Neng, he quickly returned to the group, forming a circular formation and standing ready.
The entrance…
A group of players peeked out from the gate nervously, eager to glimpse what was inside the hall but too afraid to enter fully.
Seeing this, Yao Shi Wan Neng swiftly placed the four Heavenly Demon Tokens into the recesses of the four Dharma Avatars, fitting them perfectly one by one.
Snap! Snap snap snap!
As the fourth token was placed, clear spring-like sounds immediately came from the hall…
Under the breathless gazes of everyone, the first Dharma Avatar suddenly turned eastward!
The second turned 180 degrees north!
The third remained still!
The fourth turned west!
Snap!!
The moment all four Dharma Avatars faced the four directions—east, south, west, and north…
Boom!!!!
The Dragon-Shattering Stone at the entrance crashed down with a loud noise. Amidst the players’ screams, it hit the ground with force, shaking the entire area and making it clear just how heavy and solid it was.
“Damn!”
At the entrance, the players were terrified by this unexpected situation. Some rushed in, while others quickly retreated outside.
“How did it get blocked?”
“Damn it! I’m trapped outside!!”
Those outside kept pounding on the Dragon-Shattering Stone, but soon realized that no matter how hard they attacked or knocked, it didn’t budge—there wasn’t even a crack.
But…
This might just be a form of luck!

About twenty players entered the front hall of the Heavenly Demon Gate. Realizing they were trapped inside, they panicked and gathered together, touching the Dragon-Interrupting Stone with pale faces.
“Damn, we can’t get out.”
Turning their gaze, they looked toward the altar. Then they gradually understood that the legendary Heavenly Demon Secret Caves were about to open.
The group was both shocked and excited.
They were shocked to be trapped inside, while excited to be together with Happy and the others—uncertain whether they would attack them.
They were excited to have the chance to see the secrets of the Heavenly Demon Secret Caves!
But the next second…
As the sound of mechanisms grew clearer and more frequent, stone doors began to rise one after another on both sides of the hall.
The rising stone doors put the troops from the Mu Family and the Xifeng Tower on high alert.
Looking at those dark doorways, the group grew extremely solemn and tense—there were twenty-four stone doors in total, with only one exception: the striking black iron door that remained closed.
“Why hasn’t it opened yet?”
“Look! Something’s coming out!!!” “Damn!!”
Over there, a group of reckless players who had rushed in took cover in the center of the front hall as the mechanisms activated, becoming the first to notice what was inside the stone doors.
When the doors opened, eerie green eyes appeared inside. A few of the more timid ones couldn’t help screaming and rushed toward the altar.
Whoosh!
The first shadow rushed out of the stone door.
Happy and the others, quick-witted and observant, quickly realized that the shadow leaving a trail in the air was a fierce beast—but its entire body emitted a faint metallic glow. It wasn’t a living spirit beast but a mechanical puppet, a Puppet Beast.
In terms of speed, it was far more advanced than the puppet guards in the royal tomb!
It was a Mechanical Puppet Beast at the Liberation Realm!
One after another, over a dozen leopard-like mechanical beasts rushed out of the stone doors. With twenty-four stone doors, there were hundreds of such beasts, instantly filling the once-empty hall to a crowded state.
Everyone except Happy turned pale.
Screams arose from the center of the front hall.
