While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System
Chapter 329 - Poison Traps"I now have four of these stones, have taken down all the Goblin Kings, have improved my combat capabilities and should be able to take down the rest of the Goblin Beasts easily. It will take quite a while to do so, but it is doable and I will leave that to my summons. For now, I should focus on exploring the castle and finding out whether these stones have something to do with the castle" decided Adam.
He had done so much battle and was confident in his capability against all of the goblin beasts that were left after taking down all of the Goblin Kings in long, arduous battles, but it was time to begin investigating ad exploring the castle.
Since the castle seemed to be indestructible, Adam wouldn't be able to break out if he was trapped or caught by something, so he was being very careful as he approached the entrance of the giant castle.
Adam didn't like wearing much armour despite the stat boost, as it was uncomfortable and restricted his movement, but had his daggers in hand and was ready to take out his spear at any moment.
He also had a shield in his inventory, which he had taken off a Tank Goblin Beast and could come in use in the castle.
The entrance was a large wooden gate and despite it seemingly being made out of wood, Adam's daggers barely damaged it and unless he used his Killing Move, it was unlikely he could break through the wooden gate, let alone the walls of the castle.
As soon as he reached a few metres away from the entrance, the castle seemed to be able to sense its presence as the large wooden gates began to slowly creak open.
The loud creaking sound that the gate made gave Adam an eerie feeling, but he was also excited and curious to see what he could find in the castle as he walked towards it and spread his spiritual sense.
As soon as his spiritual sense neared the castle, it was instantly blocked off, which disappointed and worried Adam slightly as he was planning on relying on his spiritual sense to navigate around the castle and sense any incoming surprise attacks.
However, his reflexes and physical senses were still extremely sharp and fast so there was no need to be scared or nervous as Adam walked into the castle confidently, but also cautiously.
As soon as he entered the castle, the gate slowly closed behind him, and although Adam could have easily gone out before the gate closed, he decided against doing so as he was unsure whether he would be able to enter the castle a second time.
There was a long path before him and the entire castle was made out of large grey stones that were all held together to form an unbreakable castle.
The pathway at the start of the castle was dark after the gate closed, but then torches were lit on either side of the walls and the corridor become dimly lit.
Before heading any further, Adam had picked up some of the rubble that was found all around the castle from the broken towers and was planning to use it to check for traps.
Although it was likely that the traps had heat sensors or were able to sense Adam's presence, if there were any, he had nothing to lose by using rocks to try and activate the traps.
Throwing rocks forwards, there was no reaction and since the ground was made up of large tiles, Adam could guess that some of the tiles would activate traps if he put weight on them.
He was unsure how many of the large tiles activated traps and what the traps were, but he was confident that he wouldn't activate any of the traps if they relied only on him stepping on the tiles.
With Adam's speed, he would be able to quickly dash through the corridor and should be able to get past and dodge any traps using his Step Skip Skill, but he also had another idea that he wanted to test out.
He was going to step on every single tile and wanted to test whether he could control his muscles and body just as well as the Weapon Master Goblin King did.
The Goblin King was able to fall from high heights and despite all the power it unleashed, would never damage the ground beneath his feet and it was as though his body had no mass, which wasn't true.
It was all due to his great control and Adam wanted to test out whether what he had observed and learnt was enough for him to try and use it himself, as it would be very useful for him in the future.
Not only would great muscle control increase his skill in combat and efficiency when using techniques, but it would also be very useful when it came to stealth and increasing his running speed.
Adam had come to realise that although the Speed Stat showed how capable one could be in terms of speed, it didn't represent their actual running speed as running speed also needed good form and technique.
Calming down, Adam returned his daggers into the inventory and imagined that he was weightless as he attempted to sync the timing of the contraction of his muscles to make it so that he ended up putting no pressure on the ground beneath him.
Without wasting any time or hesitating, Adam began moving over the tiles but quickly came to realise that it was much more difficult than he thought as he felt one of the tiles he stepped on, sink in the ground slightly.
As soon as that occurred, a few small holes in the wall that Adam didn't even recognise as a threat began firing small pins towards Adam.
However all of the pins were laced with poison and if they penetrated Adam's body, would quickly spread and weakened him massively.
Adam was barely able to see the pins coming, but he sensed danger and as soon as he felt the tile move, flipped backwards and was only narrowly about to avoid the pins as he felt one fly past his face.
