Noah crossed the door and was very happy, he never thought that he could manage till here. He was already going crazy.
As he crossed the door, he saw a similar hall like the last one, it was even exact the same. Noah quickly searched for a message from the founder emperor and soon he found it.
"You are good if you managed to enter this hall. Then your temptation did not win over you. If you had tried to take one of the light crystals, you would have been trapped in the tunnel and you could not have managed to reach this point. Now, get a rest. You already passed one third of the tunnel."
Noah looked at message and did not know if to cry or to laugh. He was so close to have taken a light crystal, but fortunately he did not do it. But the last part shocked him the most.
"What?! Only one third? I am walking since weeks here." Noah sighed, but he knew now that there was no return and he had to continue.
But he knew that he could not return, then the doors to go back were closed and even if he could, he would not do it. Then he already spent so much time for the search of the treasure, if he returned now, he would feel like a loser and he was not a loser and he would not give up. If he could spend so much time, he was able to spend more time.
The he climbed out and was happy to be outside again, he began to walk around to get some sunlight, that he missed so much.
"Huh? I was here before! This is as I was near of the tribe, I recall that I hide in that tree for a time." Noah was sure that he was here before. He then realized that the tunnel was bringing him back.
Somehow was he happy, but at the same time he did not know where the tunnel would end and what he would find.
Noah did not go to the tribe, because he did not want to meet with those people again. Not because he did not like them, it was only that he knew that it was inconvenient for him.
So, he quickly hunts some beasts and recollected a few wild fruits and prepared himself to return to the tunnels. He only spent one day outside and then he returned.
Back in the tunnel, Noah quickly continued his journey. He run and run and run for days and nights.
Thanks to the running, he already surpassed the limits of a 3rd Star knight. He was much faster than an ordinary 3rd Star knight and he was very close to the 4th Star knight. But his level of speed was very ahead from every ordinary 3rd Star knight.
He as a dual cultivator was stronger than normal knights and magicians, but with his normal training plus the running he does for hours and sometimes for days, made him grow faster and stronger.
But this tunnel was different from the last one. This time there was no light crystals but there were normal candles. And the tunnel was much wider than the other two.
BANG
Noah felt like he trigged something by stepping on it. Suddenly he saw how fire was coming from the sides and he had to dodge it rapidly or he would have been burnt.
The fire was very strong, then it was not a common fire but a stronger type of it. Even the color was different, then this fire was blood red and could burn a knight and magician in under the 3rd Star to ashes.
"It seems that this time I cannot run blindly, this tunnel should be full with deadly traps."
Noah continued running, but he was very cautious this time. Every Step was made carefully after revising the ground with his reinforced eyes. Thanks to his reinforced eyes, he could see any differences in the ground and could avoid the triggers of the traps.
"What a bastard, how can he build so many traps." Noah was tired of avoiding so many traps and it costs him a lot of Mana and Stamina.
He had to stop to rest after every few hours and make a pause. If he could run before for 10 hours without rest, he could only run for 8 hours. That made him angry, then it was delaying him.
But after a week and a half he reached the next pause point, because he was very excited of seeing the arc of the door, he accidentally stepped on a trigger and an ax came flying from the side and was close to chop his head.
Noah jumped to the door as he saw the ax and could fortunately dodge the ax. This part of the tunnel was very hard, but thanks to the traps he was the whole time concentrated and focused on not stepping on the triggers that he forgot that he was alone with a cat and everything. The time passed very fast and that made it easy for Noah. If not, he could have gone crazy.
This time the hall was differ
rent, then it was full of plants and it looked like little garden. It was somehow beautiful and on the plants were berries growing. Noah approached the berries and wanted to try some, but then he saw a skeleton on the ground.
As he saw the skeleton, Noah jumped and was scared to death by the skeleton.
"Do not tell me that he had eaten the berried and died? This was close." Noah was still shocked, but he guessed that the man died because of the berries. It was sure that the berries were poisonous.
Noah then began to search for the next message, then he did not want to spend time here.
