Chapter 148: Lightless Maze, Ghost Mother Giving Birth!
Lin Xuan looked at them and reminded, “Pay attention to the small vortex. The cold hand is definitely going to be under the small vortex. Pay attention to the middle of the river. The river flow is much faster there.”
Feng Zhuang was stunned and nodded repeatedly. “Thank you!”
They had arrived relatively late and did not hear what Cold Domain had said. If Lin Xuan casually gave them pointers now, they might be able to save their lives!
The martial artists behind Feng Zhuang also nodded in admiration. “Thank you!”
Lin Xuan waved his hand and continued forward. “This is what Cold Domain told me. If you want to thank someone, thank him.”!!
In any case, it was just a reminder. It was nothing.
Moreover, Feng Zhuang was a good person. Previously, when he was competing with Mu Yang in the medicinal market, Feng Zhuang had given him information several times.
It was only right for him to help.
Soon, Lin Xuan also arrived on the other side.
Before heading to the open space, he heard Feng Zhuang shout, “Everyone, remember to share Cold Domain’s tip to the martial artists in the back!”
“Alright!”
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry.”
“After all, we’re all comrades who survived the city defense battle. Try not to die. Let’s all try to survive.”
The martial artists said one after another.
Lin Xuan chuckled.
Most of these martial artists were not bad.
In the open space, Lin Xuan swept his gaze around but did not see Xiang Tianxiu.
Ye Yuqiu casually said, “He was feeling energetic and continued forward.”
Lin Xuan nodded. At this moment, the fog enveloped him again.
The reward for passing the third trial was a sniper rifle.
The effect was not bad. It could even automatically form frost bullets every once in a while.
Lin Xuan casually threw it into his consciousness space. Perhaps it would be useful in the future or he could use it to trade with others.
“I’ve rested enough. I’ll go first.” A few minutes later, Ye Yuqiu stood up and entered the fourth trial.
Soon, the martial artists behind also arrived at this empty space.
After obtaining the rewards for the third trial, they all gave up.
Feng Zhuang also smiled apologetically at Lin Xuan. “I don’t dare to continue forward. This is the end. Lin Xuan, do you still want to continue?”
Lin Xuan made a conflicted expression. “I still have some strength left. I’ll try again. Perhaps I’ll stop after the fourth and fifth trials.”
Feng Zhuang nodded. “Since you can make so many potions, you have to make sure you don’t die.”
With that said, he also stepped into the light screen and left the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple.
After passing through the Floating Ice River, the number of martial artists that left was the highest. Lin Xuan alone saw more than 1,000 people leave.
He estimated that another 200 people had died in the Floating Ice River.
“Let’s continue forward.”
Lin Xuan stood up and also entered the fourth trial after his avatar.
The fourth trial, the Lightning Pool.
This was a huge pool. It was not deep and its depth only reached one’s knees.
However, the water density here was very high, causing one’s speed to decrease as they passed through.
What was even worse was that there were lightning snakes and electric fish swimming everywhere underwater. From time to time, they would release lightning.
If a martial artist was electrocuted, he would be paralyzed.
Moreover, if he was targeted by a large number of Lightning Snake Lightning Fish, he would be stunned on the spot for a long time. In the end, he would have to watch as his health decreased bit by bit until he finally died!
However, for people with high lightning resistance, there would be no problems
Shield Ghost could directly stroll here and even jog.
Xiang Tianxiu looked envious.
This trial was not dangerous for Lin Xuan at all. He passed it safely.
The final reward was an electric fish the size of an arm.
The meat was fat and tender, fresh and juicy.
After eating it, one could permanently increase lightning damage by 10% and exceed the upper limit.
Silver Fox and Bai Xinghe suffered a lot of injuries when they passed this trial. It was only with Brother Milk’s recovery technique that they could complete the last part of the journey.
They pondered for a moment and chose to give up and leave the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple.
The two of them were rather depressed.
With their strength, logically speaking, they should be able to at least reach the sixth trial.
Now, they had stopped at the fourth trial.
This time, the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple was indeed a little difficult.
The fifth trial, Smoky Lake.
Although it was called a lake, the lake water had long dried up.
There were holes of various sizes everywhere, and smoke would come out of them without any pattern.
This caused the entire Smoky Lake to be pitch-black and filled with thick smoke.
If one’s Constitution was low, their health would continue to decrease from the moment they entered the Smoky Lake.
Xiang Tianxiu suffered greatly here.
Brother Milk still pulled him back and used a recovery spell from time to time.
Xiang Tianxiu was extremely touched.
The thick smoke was not the most dangerous.
The dangerous thing was the black smoke monsters hiding in the thick smoke!
They were unobstructed in the thick smoke and took advantage of the smoke to attack the martial artists.
Lin Xuan had heard the screams of martial artists more than once.
Many screams stopped abruptly, and even the sound of fighting could not be heard.
Lin Xuan sighed helplessly.
The martial artists who could come to this trial were almost all above level seven Seventh Realm.
They felt that they could do it, so they gritted their teeth and entered.
Unfortunately, they had still overestimated themselves.
Because the Smoky Lake was too large and their vision was blocked, Lin Xuan and his avatar could only help those who were closer to him.
More than two hours later, the fifth trial ended.
Just the number of screams Lin Xuan heard alone had surpassed forty.
This did not include the screams his five avatars heard.
Clearly, many martial artists had died here.
In the empty space after the fifth trial.
Lin Xuan and the others recovered from their injuries here.
Before coming out, he had deliberately let the black smoke monsters scratch him to obtain some injuries.
Because his health recovered too quickly, he had no choice but to deepen his injuries.
Otherwise… the injuries would be healed.
The reward for the fifth trial was a pair of jade eyes.
After using it, one’s night vision could be increased.
This was also rare among attribute items. It was quite good.
“Next is the sixth trial. Why do I feel that this sixth trial is filled with danger?” Ye Yuqiu frowned slightly and stared at the fog in front of her.
Xiang Tianxiu was still fearless. He waved his hand heroically. “What are you afraid of?! If you don’t dare to enter, let me go first!”
With that said, he directly walked in.
Black held his forehead. “This guy is still too rash.”
With that said, he said helplessly, “I know my limits. I won’t enter the sixth trial. Do you still want to continue?”
Flame Explosion coughed lightly. “Ye Yuqiu, what do you think?”
A trace of struggle flashed across Ye Yuqiu’s face, but she finally decided. “I want to go in. I want to become stronger.”
Black shrugged. “Then I wish you guys luck. I’m leaving.”
Black also left the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple.
Lin Xuan and his avatars entered the sixth trial.
It was extremely dark in front of him.
He could not see the sky above. Looking down, it seemed to be an abyss.
The only glimmer was the mushrooms growing on the wall.
Lin Xuan looked around. There was no one beside him!
“Lightless Maze? Wait, isn’t this the ninth trial?!”
Lin Xuan was stunned.
Logically speaking, the sixth trial should be the Mountain Climbing Step.
With every step upwards, the gravity would increase.
It was neither difficult nor simple.
Given that the difficulty had increased by 200, he only expected various demon beasts to attack them on both sides of the mountain path.
However, why were the sixth, seventh, and eighth trials directly removed?
At this moment, wails sounded from the darkness in all directions.
A cold wind blew, bone-chilling!
Lin Xuan suddenly thought of something and looked at the news of the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple.
[News from the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple: The first Ghost Mother has started giving birth.]
Lin Xuan’s heart sank.
The Ghost Mother seemed to be stronger than he had imagined.
It actually affected the operation of the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple.
It had actually taken them to the ninth trial from the fifth trial!
“The others and I might have also been affected by the Ghost Mother’s power and scattered.”
“In that case, this Ghost Mother definitely wants to harm us. However, why does it want to increase the difficulty? If it wants to eat people, it should reduce the difficulty and let more people appear in the Lightless Maze.”
After all, Lin Xuan had never seen the Ghost Mother before and did not know its intentions.
He thought for a moment and immediately looked at the perspective of the five avatars.
Flame Explosion, Cold Domain, and Brother Milk were all ambushed by three ghosts.
The sneak attack method was also similar.
The moment they appeared, they attacked from behind.
These ghosts were not the humanoid and beast-shaped ghosts from when the city was attacked, but the sutured ghost monster.
They originally thought that they could kill the three of them with a single attack.
After all, two of these three people were mages, and the third was a healer.
They were all weak and fragile. Wouldn’t it be very easy to kill these guys?
However, this ferocious attack only sent the three of them flying with a headache.
“These three ghosts are very powerful. They’re at least level seven Seventh Realm! Fortunately, my avatar inherited 100% of the main body’s attributes. Otherwise, they would have been instantly killed.”
After a short moment of thought, Lin Xuan immediately decided to retrieve all his avatars and recreate them beside him.
In this way, he could immediately maximize his combat strength.
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happened, he would also be attacked by three ghosts!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Shield Ghost and the other four avatars immediately threw all the equipment into the consciousness space under the puzzled gaze of the ghost. Then… they disappeared on the spot!
The ghosts were dumbfounded.
Lin Xuan could tell many things from their gaze.
For example, he could tell that they were very dumbfounded.
Moreover, he could tell that their intelligence was relatively high!
At this moment, Lin Xuan felt a dense killing intent behind him.
Clearly, more than one ghost was about to launch a sneak attack!
High-level Avatar Technique!
Shield Ghost, Flame Explosion, Cold Domain, Brother Milk, and Poison Blade.
They all appeared at the same time!
Of course, they were all naked.
Shield Ghost directly blocked in front and used his body to buy time.
Boom!
The sneak attack of the three ghosts landed on Shield Ghost without any obstruction.
In an instant, Shield Ghost’s health points decreased by a third!
Lin Xuan was rather surprised.
Ever since he advanced to the Seventh Realm, neither his avatar nor his main body had lost so much health!
Indeed, the level suppression was still ferocious.
The other four avatars immediately took advantage of this time to put on their equipment as quickly as possible.
Brother Milk immediately used a recovery spell on Shield Ghost.
Lin Xuan and Poison Blade stepped forward to share the pressure.
The death of an avatar and the removal of an avatar were very different.
His avatar could indeed be revived after dying.
However, the High-Level Avatar Technique would enter a long cooldown time.
“Now, it’s time to counterattack!”
Lin Xuan directly took out the Giant Thunder Spear and threw it over under the shocked gazes of the three ghosts.
The other five avatars immediately followed and also attacked.
The three ghosts were very dumbfounded.
Weren’t they about to ambush this potion maker?
Why did five people suddenly appear?!
