Chapter 531: The Strange Stone Bed

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

Klein didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard James cursing without any form of expression.

Klein looked at James and said, “Stop cursing. That fellow seems to have heard your cursing and is already flying over here...”

“Ah?”

As expected, the Fire Dragon had given up on attacking the floating boards and began to cause trouble for the two of them.

Klein knew that a Fire Dragon that was burning at high temperatures would turn them into ashes the moment they came into contact with it.

Now that the situation was special, they couldn’t face it head-on. They had to quickly escape from this place.

.

As he thought about this, Klein instructed James to open the door behind him.

He used a water-type spell to temporarily block the Fire Dragon’s attack.

Klein’s water-type spell was the most powerful. The water current swirled in the air like a tornado, completely surrounding the fire dragon.

Water could counter fire. This was a principle that had never changed since ancient times.

Other than the true fire that Klein had mastered, there was no fire in the world that could withstand an attack from water.

The Fire Dragon seemed to have sensed the powerful strength of its opponent. Its body circled in the air, avoiding the entanglement of the water.

A portion of the flames that soared into the sky were extinguished by the water.

At this moment, Klein realized that the Fire Dragon didn’t have a physical body. It wasn’t a dragon that was filled with flames.

The entire dragon was made of flames. Once it was extinguished, it would completely disappear!

Upon receiving this information, Klein immediately felt confident.

His hands danced in the air, and a few more water currents rose into the air.

They formed a perfect picture of water and fire in the air.

At that moment, James had already run to the door on the wall, attempting to open it.

However, he discovered that the door was tightly shut. It was neither a mechanical lock nor a mechanism. He couldn’t open it even if he used his body to slam it.

James even suspected that this was a fake door placed here for decoration.

“This won’t do. It can’t be opened at all. Is this door fake!”

Klein felt that it was unlikely.

The entire space was only this big, and according to his observations, there weren’t many resources here.

Therefore, there was definitely a passageway that could lead them to other places.

“It can definitely be opened. Think of a way. I’ll first deal with this big fellow before meeting up with you!”

At this moment, Klein was already confident that he could directly extinguish the fire. By then, they could slowly study how to open the door.

Several more streams of water rose into the air. At this moment, the Fire Dragon’s body had already begun to shrink, and the flames on its body were gradually extinguished.

Seeing that it was about to be extinguished, Klein never expected that the Fire Dragon seemed to be smarter than he had imagined.

Just as it was about to be extinguished, it managed to escape the entanglement of the water streams and instantly sank to the bottom of the magma.

When it came up again, the flames on its body burned again!

What the hell, what kind of operation was this?

This Fire Dragon could actually increase his strength infinitely.

This was simply a legendary home-field battle. If he continued to delay, his energy would be exhausted, but the Fire Dragon would be able to continuously restore itself.

“How’s the situation on your side?”

At this moment, James was already sweating profusely.

“No, I can’t open it. No matter what method I use, it won’t work!”

“This door seems to be tightly shut. There’s no method at all!”

At this moment, Klein turned his head and saw a bed made of stone beside the door.

He found it strange. This place looked gloomy, and there was a bottomless abyss beneath the feet of ghosts. What was the meaning of having a bed here?

It couldn’t be that someone was really sleeping here, right?

Klein instantly felt that there was definitely something wrong with this bed!

He turned to James and said, “James, go and take a look at the stone bed beside it!”

Only then did James realize that there was indeed a bed beside the door. It was about the height of a person, and one needed to climb up to lie on it.

James also jumped up out of curiosity and lay on the bed.

When he was officially lying down, with all his weight on the stone bed...

The door that had been tightly shut and not moving at all suddenly opened!

James widened his eyes. He didn’t expect that the method to open the door would be like this?

Klein stopped fighting with that fellow and quickly left. The door has already been opened.

James jumped down from the stone bed with his heart.

But immediately after, the door rumbled and closed.

James was dumbfounded. He instantly reacted. It turned out that the door would only open when he lay down, and it would immediately close when he came down.

‘What should I do?’

At that moment, Klein also realized that something was amiss. He wrapped the dozens of streams of water tightly around the Fire Dragon and ran back.

“What’s going on?”

James sighed softly and explained the situation.

“I come down and the door closes, which means someone needs to be on it to open it, so only one person can get in.”

Klein frowned. He had never seen such a strange mechanism. It was a test of human nature.

In such a dangerous space, there was a high chance that no one would come alone,

If more than two people were to team up, they would be faced with a very cruel choice when encountering such a mechanism.

One person had to be left lying on the bed before the others could leave. That person would eventually be sacrificed.

No one wanted to be the sacrificial lamb left behind.

If no one volunteered, the final outcome could be imagined. Klein couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle.

“How long is the delay of the mechanism?”

James knew what Klein meant, but he shook his head. It was too fast.

Although the distance between the mechanism and the door wasn’t far, once the weight on the bed was reduced, the door would immediately close. There were less than 0.5 seconds in between.

Unless he could teleport, it would be too late with human speed.

Klein sniffed and fell silent. If that was the case, it would really be a difficult problem to solve.

He flew onto the stone bed and fumbled around in his treasure bag. He found something that was about the same weight as an adult human and pressed it on the stone bed.

There was still no movement...

It looked like the mechanism was carefully designed,

Not only was its weight within the normal range, but its size and height had to be that of an adult. If the door was replaced by something else, it wouldn’t open!

They finally encountered a problem that had never existed since ancient times,

Could it be that one person had to be sacrificed before the other person could get out?

At that moment, the Fire Dragon broke free from its restraints and roared as it attacked the two of them!

Klein realized that they were now in a dilemma.

They could either quickly destroy the Fire Dragon and come up with a plan.

Or they could sacrifice one person while the other ran out to think of a way to come back to rescue them!
