Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul-Chapter 527 - Monster Nest_1

Otherwise, killing them wouldn’t be too much!”

Leng Hao nodded in agreement, then suddenly noticed the massive figure of the Giant Stone Monster flying over from not far away.

“Let’s get out of here first.”

Ling Xiao told Dai Yuling and Leng Hao, not bothering with the reactions of Bai Feifei, Tantai Lingzi, and the others as he charged straight ahead.

There were eleven people left now.

Ling Xiao, Dai Yuling, Leng Hao, Bai Feifei, Tantai Lingzi, Wu Yang, Qin Wu, Shang guan Lei, as well as Wang Nan, Liu Lie, and Situ Jun.

Wang Nan, being a Transcendent Realm Third Layer martial artist, was comparable to Dai Yuling, but he was more timid and had never attacked Ling Xiao, thus preserving his life.

Liu Lie and Situ Jun were both at the Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer, with strength comparable to Leng Hao.

They had been following Tantai Lingzi closely, and with such a cunning leader, they hadn’t run into trouble either.

The rest were all acquaintances and needed no introduction.

Soon, everyone reached the entrance to the second trial, and the Giant Stone Monster ceased its pursuit.

This indicated that the Giant Stone Monster targeted only those in the first trial and would not enter the second.

Standing at the entrance and looking at the huge sealing runes, Ling Xiao knew that the results of the first trial were still being tallied, which meant the second trial had not yet started.

But with the danger gone for now, it was a good time to recover.

Leng Hao returned the gourd of pills to Ling Xiao, as he and Dai Yuling had mostly recovered already.

On the way, Ling Xiao had secretly given two pills to Shang guan Lei, but he didn’t care about the others, so he wouldn’t waste them.

There were still forty pills left in the gourd, and he would have to use them sparingly.

Under the current circumstances, the eleven people had clearly divided into two factions.

Ling Xiao, Dai Yuling, and Leng Hao stood together.

Bai Feifei, Tantai Lingzi, Qin Wu, Wu Yang, Liu Lie, Situ Jun, and Wang Nan, plus the undercover Shang guan Lei.

Seeing the gourd in Ling Xiao’s hand, Bai Feifei felt extremely discontented.

“Are you even a disciple of the Moon Hua Sect?

New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.

Since you have the pills, why not share them with everyone?

If more people complete the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony, then our sect’s strength would also increase!”

She seemed to have forgotten again that Ling Xiao had a hold over her.

“Annoying!

Would you be willing to do that?”

Ling Xiao retorted, “Besides, this is a trial, not a charity event.

Why should I care about people who have nothing to do with me?”

“Let’s focus on recovering, Senior Sister Bai.

The second trial might start soon, so there’s no use dwelling on these matters,” Tantai Lingzi said with a smile, advising.

This woman was indeed clever; she knew Ling Xiao wouldn’t give up the pills, so naturally, she wouldn’t waste energy arguing with him here.

“Hmph.”

Bai Feifei snorted coldly and also sat down cross-legged.

About a quarter of an hour later, that icy voice sounded again.

“Congratulations to everyone for completing the first challenge.

Regardless of performance, you will all receive one hundred Yuehua Points as a reference for the final tally.”

Yuehua Points are awarded only during the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony, with one Yuehua Point being equivalent to one hundred Sect contribution points.

That is to say, even without obtaining the final reward, one hundred Yuehua Points could be exchanged for ten thousand Sect contribution points, which also counts as a considerable reward.

Suddenly, the sealing inscription shattered, and the passageway to the second challenge opened.

“The second challenge has begun.

Unlike the first, the second challenge is fraught with crises at every turn.

What you will be entering is a Monster Nest.

Although the level of the monsters has been reduced, their numbers have greatly increased.

Survive and make it out alive, and you will pass!

Starting now, if anyone doesn’t leave the first challenge within three minutes, they will be considered eliminated!”

Upon hearing the last sentence, everyone’s faces changed.

They had wanted to rest a bit longer, but now it seemed impossible.

The road they had traversed could not be retraced.

What had been missed was missed, and it was too late for regrets.

“Yuling, Leng Hao, come with me!”

Ling Xiao activated his Mountain and River Martial Soul, and the entire Monster Nest’s terrain and details were instantly etched in his mind, leaving him in awe.

This Monster Nest wasn’t simply a nest.

It was an actual labyrinth.

Within it, there were a total of ten formidable monsters, five of which were Sinful Beasts that should not be provoked, equivalent to experts of the Heavenly Man Realm.

Entering there meant a slim chance of survival—almost certain death.

However, these five Sinful Beasts were guarding extremely valuable treasures, likely intended for experts of the Heavenly Man Realm.

The other five monsters could still be dealt with, but only one was guarding a treasure.

Killing the other four would have little significance.

Inside the Monster Nest, it was pitch-dark and damp, with water flowing on the ground and the sporadic roars of beasts echoing through, sending shivers down the spine.

The participants in the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony were all Transcendent Realm Martial Artists; otherwise, just the intense spiritual pressure alone would be enough to cause a mental breakdown.

“As fellow disciples, I must remind everyone that this Monster Nest is far more dangerous than the first challenge.

There are many creatures inside that we should not provoke.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Though they were competitors, as long as the others hadn’t attacked him, they were still members of the same Sect.

Issuing a casual warning like this was a small courtesy.

Dai Yuling and Leng Hao followed closely behind Ling Xiao, not straying more than a meter from his side.

Shangguan Lei also followed quietly after them.

While he was currently posing as an affiliate of the Demonflame Celestial, this didn’t prevent him from following Ling Xiao.

The rest also followed behind.

Actually, their thoughts were identical to Shangguan Lei’s—they all felt that following Ling Xiao would likely be to their advantage.

After walking for a while, Ling Xiao suddenly stopped.

Ten diverging paths appeared in front of them.

“Senior Sister Bai, which way should we choose?”

Ling Xiao turned around and asked with a smile.

He certainly didn’t have decision paralysis; to him, this so-called Monster Nest, no matter how complex the labyrinth might be, held little significance.

With the analytical ability of his Mountain and River Martial Soul, the moment he had entered the place, there were no more secrets to uncover.

Everything was clearly marked on the Mountain and River Map.

Essentially, whatever he wanted to find, he could find.
