My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268: The Dark Zone

"Don’t worry, I can handle it." Lin Wushuang activated the Heart Method, initiating the Powerful Qi to protect herself. This way, even if attacked suddenly, she wouldn’t face death.

During these days, being with Chen Tianlong brought Lin Wushuang happiness. She didn’t want to die inexplicably, so she must cherish life. As long as she wasn’t killed instantly, she believed Chen Tianlong could find a way to save her.

Chen Tianlong nodded; Lin Wushuang was slowly growing.

Initially, she was just a spoiled and willful young lady, but now she was maturing into a stable and composed girl. It truly wasn’t easy.

Looking at the dark area not far away, without a trace of light around, Chen Tianlong could guess that the problem undoubtedly lay there.

"Chen Tianlong, it’s so dark ahead, it feels so scary." Lin Wushuang held onto one of Chen Tianlong’s arms, following him slowly forward. However, for others, the place might seem dark, but for Chen Tianlong, it was brightly lit.

He used the Heart Method, closed his eyes, and began to see clearly.

This pass was initially very dangerous; even Chen Tianlong felt pressure, but that wasn’t the case. Chen Tianlong saw the dark area was filled with densely packed thin lines.

Chen Tianlong didn’t know the material of these thin lines. However, he discovered that only someone with his kind of vision could see them clearly. With normal visible light, they would be intermittently visible, triggering mechanisms.

"Wushuang, jump up." Chen Tianlong didn’t explain; he opened his arms.

He didn’t explain for a reason. If he told Lin Wushuang, she might get nervous, easily triggering those mechanisms outlined by the thin lines.

"Ah? Jump... Jump up? You want to hold me?" Lin Wushuang’s cheeks flushed as she asked, slightly puzzled.

"Hehe, indeed, I like holding you this way. Even if there’s danger, I don’t have to worry." Chen Tianlong chuckled.

Lin Wushuang nodded and directly jumped up. The action seemed ambiguous, but at this point, Lin Wushuang didn’t overthink it, simply holding onto Chen Tianlong’s neck.

Chen Tianlong deliberately supported Lin Wushuang’s buttocks and then smiled: "Remember, don’t move. This way, we can pass safely."

"Mhm mhm." Lin Wushuang didn’t know what Chen Tianlong intended, but she knew there was definitely danger. Since Chen Tianlong didn’t make it clear, she didn’t ask further.

After securely holding Lin Wushuang, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath. Although he could see the thin lines clearly, passing easily required some skill.

He took two quick steps forward into the dark area, then gently lifted his right leg and stepped across. The thin lines were akin to infrared rays, designed randomly and haphazardly, making it very challenging for Chen Tianlong.

More importantly, holding someone meant navigating some tricky areas required calmness and cooperation from Lin Wushuang.

"Wushuang, listen to me, tuck your head into my chest, take a deep breath. When I tell you to lift, then you lift, don’t do it prematurely." Chen Tianlong advised.

"Mhm."

Lin Wushuang answered.

Even with Chen Tianlong’s agile moves, anyone else would likely trigger the mechanisms because the situation was too risky; a slight misstep could touch the thin lines.

The last few meters of thin lines were too dense. Chen Tianlong thought he might as well stand still, as there was no way forward. It was like a spider web; from above, below, left, or right, there were no gaps to pass through.

"Damn, what kind of crap traps are these? It’s clearly a dead-end, yet they set up so many ahead." Chen Tianlong cursed inwardly. This guy was too much, leading people in only to leave them in despair.

"Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong?" Lin Wushuang sensed Chen Tianlong had stopped, somewhat puzzled.

"Mhm, there’s some trouble. The traps ahead have become confusing, no idea how to proceed." Now wasn’t the time to hide things; it was ridiculous.

"What kind of trap? Can you tell me?" Lin Wushuang asked.

Chen Tianlong smiled wryly, thinking he had no solution to the puzzle. So he might as well explain; perhaps Lin Wushuang had an idea. Hence, Chen Tianlong said, "Ahead are many thin lines; I suspect they’re all connected to traps. If we touch them, the traps will activate."

"Oh?" Lin Wushuang glanced, then asked, "Can we trigger a trap first to see what it is? If it’s a one-time trigger, we could pass right through, right?"

Hearing this, Chen Tianlong realized that considering he had unique abilities, others couldn’t see a thing in this darkness. Thus, the traps were likely one-time and lethal.

Realizing this, Chen Tianlong wanted to test it.

But suddenly, he thought he didn’t have any long-range attack moves. If he threw the Dragon Slayer Sword directly, and it was a trap, he’d lose his sword.

"Chen Tianlong, now let me try." Lin Wushuang suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Chen Tianlong remembered Lin Wushuang’s cultivation technique was long-range. Her Fiery Flame Telekinesis Wave could directly burn through all the thin lines, triggering the trap once.

To be safe, Chen Tianlong retreated several steps with Lin Wushuang, crouching slightly. This way, if there was an attack, by lying down, they still had a chance.

Seeing Chen Tianlong nod, Lin Wushuang immediately initiated her Heart Method, gathering power in her hand for a moment, then pushed it out. Since it wasn’t a fight with an opponent, there was no need for dramatic flair. Burning those lines would suffice.

Without a doubt, after being hit by Lin Wushuang’s Fiery Flame Telekinesis Wave, all the lines burned. Instantly, countless sharp weapons poked from the ground, knee-high.

Indeed, it was a one-time mechanism.

But the scene left them dumbstruck. If attacked from above or behind, they could still block, but emerging from the ground in such dark conditions, even Chen Tianlong might not dodge.

Fortunately, testing it saved them from getting caught.

"Nie... Chen Tianlong, that’s terrifying!" Lin Wushuang couldn’t help but gasp. Naturally, a girl faced with such a situation couldn’t help being scared.

"Mhm, Wushuang, release another move to check for hidden weapons." To be extra careful, Chen Tianlong instructed Lin Wushuang to unleash another Telekinesis Wave.

Lin Wushuang nodded, gathered power, and unleashed it. But this time, there was no reaction, indicating the area was safe.

"Wushuang, it’s fine now. Come over, I’ll hold you and jump across." Though the danger passed, the ground still had spikes knee-high. Lin Wushuang could leap over them herself, but she preferred the feeling of being held by Chen Tianlong.
