Chapter 1211: The Series of Traps


    "A trap formation! It really is a trap formation!" Chris Shelby eximed in shock as he entered the stone gate.


    Before his eyes, the scene changed dramatically. A vast desert appeared, with endless yellow sand and no vegetation in sight.


    Tiger curiously asked, "Boss, how is this formation different from the one we encountered in Manson Jefferson''s tomb?"


    When they had entered Manson Jefferson''s tomb, they had also faced a trap formation. Only Chris Shelby, Guardian Tim, and a few other practitioners had sessfully navigated it. Otherwise, everyone else would have been trapped inside.


    Tiger scratched his head, wondering if they were about to go through the same ordeal again.


    Chris Shelby thought for a moment and said, "It should be different. But since it''s a trap formation, there must be simrities. Let''s observe carefully first and then break this formation."


    Chris Shelby wasn''t an expert on formations, but his master, Archer Wintersong, was a formation grandmaster. Under his master''s guidance, Chris had learned some basics about formations. He knew that every trap formation had a w. If he could find it, they could escape.


    "Boss, Peterson Abernathy and the others are missing!" Tiger suddenly shouted.


    Chris Shelby snapped out of his thoughts and looked around. Indeed, Peterson Abernathy and the others were gone.


    "It seems this formation is quite peculiar," Chris Shelby said as he stroked his chin.


    They had entered the stone gate together with Peterson Abernathy and the others, but now they were missing. Clearly, the formation had transported them elsewhere.


    "Boss, this formation isn''t simple! I''ll take a look around," Tiger said before wandering off like a curious child.


    Suddenly, Chris Shelby shouted, "Don''t move!"


    But it was toote. The environment around Tiger changed drastically. He found himself no longer in the desert but in a barren wastnd.


    Tiger screamed in terror at the eerie scene. Just then, a hand grabbed him, pulling him back into the desert.


    Tiger''s face was pale, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Meanwhile, Chris Shelby''s expression was grim. When he had pulled Tiger back, he had glimpsed another world-a world filled with barrennd and white bones everywhere. Even though it was just a momentary nce, it made him break out in cold sweat.


    "This ce has clearly trapped countless people before," Chris Shelby thought grimly. The despair before death was more terrifying than death itself.


    Tiger regained hisposure and said fearfully, "Boss, it seems like this ce is dangerous at any moment!"


    Chris Shelby nodded. "It appears so. We need to leave this ce as soon as possible."


    After resting for a while to calm down, Tiger saw Chris Shelby walking around aimlessly.


    "Boss, what are you doing?" Tiger asked curiously.


    "I''m exploring the path," Chris Shelby replied.


    After some time, Chris returned drenched in sweat. He had ced stones along the path he walked on to mark it.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    "This trap formation is veryplex," Chris said with a bitter smile. "Within a hundred meters around us is desert; beyond that lies other regions."


    "Boss, are we going to be stuck here forever?" Tiger asked with a frown.


    Chris''s face was serious. "There are sixteen routes around us; only one is safe. Even if we get through it, we''ll fall into another trap."


    This was arge series of interconnected traps formed by numerous smaller ones. Chris couldn''t help but admire the ancient grandmasters who set these formations. "Tiger," Chris instructed, "take our men and explore all the routes."


    "Yes!" Tiger led the royal guards to explore all the routes. Fortunately, there was no immediate danger; they could return if they took a wrong path.


    Finally, after much effort from


    thousands of royal guards, they


    found a safe route. Following it ted them to another dramatic change in scenery-a massive pce with


    eighteen identical stone gates.


    "We''re still in the formation," Chris said with a bitter smile. "Only one of these gates is safe."


    Chris instructed Tiger and others to


    test each gate. Some opened to fiery infernos; others to icy wastnds. After testing all eighteen gates, they found only one safe route among them. ,


    Entering the safe gate led them to yet another massive pce with sixteen stone gates identical to before.


    "Boss," Tiger eximed in surprise, "are we back where we started?"


    Chris shook his head. "It''s not that simple! We''re in another trap within this series of traps."


    To confirm his suspicion, Chris had


    Tiger draw arge pattern inside the


    pce before they left through the


    safe gate again and arrived at another hall without the previous pattern.


    "The pattern disappeared!" Tiger eximed in shock.
