Zhou Yan put away the boots and saw a passage ahead, through which he walked out.
Upon exiting, he found himself in a massive ancient hall. The entire hall was black, exuding a chilling demonic aura and a powerfully malevolent presence.
Li Chungang was already standing ahead. Soon, Xiao Zhao and Zhao Min also appeared. They approached and said to the two, "Why was this trial so simple? I obtained an S-grade skill."
"I got a spiritual artifact armor."
Both women were quite curious. They had expected the trial for this 'Heaven' ranked passage to be very difficult, but it turned out to be a matter of a few moves.
Li Chungang smiled and said, "It's probably because the owner of this cave mansion intentionally set it up this way. If my guess is correct, the 'Human' trial should be the most difficult."
"Hahaha, that Qian Shun thought he was clever, but he ended up entering the 'Human' trial." Zhou Yan laughed.
Xiao Zhao and Zhao Min saw that Qian Shun had still not appeared. Thinking about Qian Shun's situation inside, they couldn't help but giggle.
This was a case of being too clever for one's own good!
'Human' Trial Passage.
Qian Shun walked in with a grin. For safety, he resolutely entered the lowest-level trial passage and then saw dense crowds of monsters.
Qian Shun: "「(°ヘ°)？？？”
"Holy crap! This is the lowest-level trial?"
"Are there so many monsters even in the lowest-level trial? If it were the 'Heaven' ranked trial, wouldn't it be even stronger?"
Thinking this, Qian Shun gave himself a pat on the back for his great intelligence.
"Insignificant monsters, how can you be a match for Qian Shun?"
Qian Shun took out an abacus and began to manipulate it. Energy also emanated from him, with copper coin-like energy appearing from the abacus, emitting powerful force as it struck the monsters.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
The monsters were quickly eliminated by Qian Shun.
Qian Shun, satisfied, put away his abacus and smiled, "Indeed, it was simple."
However, soon after, an even stronger group of monsters appeared in the entire hall. Qian Shun was stunned again; these monsters were not a single wave!
Qian Shun took out his abacus again. This abacus was no ordinary item; it was a spiritual artifact, and a considerably more powerful one than usual. Coupled with Qian Shun's considerable strength, dealing with these monsters was not too strenuous.
But!
Qian Shun's expression became increasingly grim.
Because!
Wave after wave of monsters appeared, as if they were endless, never to be completely wiped out.
Qian Shun's face darkened, and he angrily exclaimed, "Damn it! Is this 'Human' trial truly the lowest-level trial? There are just too many monsters!"
No matter how Qian Shun shouted, these monsters still needed to be dealt with.
The monsters' strength could not harm him; they only consumed a lot of his time.
After all!
Qian Shun's strength was just a step away from demigodhood, so how could he be stumped by these minor monsters?
However, the endless waves of monsters were truly making Qian Shun extremely annoyed.
With his intelligence, Qian Shun quickly realized the flaw in this trial.
"Damn it! This tomb owner was tricked; this is the real 'Heaven' trial!" Qian Shun's face immediately turned black.
Despite his caution and prudence, he was still tricked.
He thought he was the clever one, but it turned out he was the clown.
Qian Shun, who considered himself wise, felt the urge to vomit blood for the first time.
Qian Shun had been tricking others for years, and this was the first time he had been so badly duped. He felt incredibly miserable.
A group of monsters at the seventieth level of martial arts had already appeared. This was not something ordinary people could handle.
Then, the strength of these monsters rose from the seventieth level of martial arts to the eightieth level of martial arts before disappearing.
"Damn it! Tomb owner, I will take all your treasures, rip open your coffin lid, and then whip your corpse! Whip your corpse! And whip your corpse again!"
Qian Shun was furious!
Although these monsters did not cause him any damage or threat, Qian Shun was simply displeased.
He had always been the one to deceive others, but this time he had been deceived.
This was the truth of the saying, "He who walks by the river often will get his shoes wet."
Three rewards appeared, and Qian Shun naturally chose equipment.
However.
Looking at the bronze-grade equipment that appeared, Qian Shun fell into a brief silence once more.
Qian Shun: "”(￣(エ)￣)ゞ”
He had killed so many powerful monsters, and this was the result?
He had fought for so long for a single piece of bronze equipment?
Qian Shun suddenly felt a surge of bile rise in his throat.
By the time Qian Shun left the trial passage, there was no one outside.
"That scoundrel Zhou Yan, he's got no loyalty, actually leaving me here!" Qian Shun grumbled again.
He realized his luck hadn't been good for the past two days. It seemed his luck had been particularly bad since he met Zhou Yan.
Qian Shun believed it was because Zhou Yan had taken his luck away.
Zhou Yan and the others naturally wouldn't wait for Qian Shun; who knew when that old fellow would show up.
With Li Chungang's strength, dealing with the mechanisms and traps here was naturally a piece of cake.
There were traps and mechanisms everywhere. Touching them carelessly would trigger terrifying array attacks.
They were all searching for the spiritual fields here. If their guess was correct, the real spiritual fields must be hidden somewhere in this place.
Those were invaluable spirit herbs, each one extremely precious. Zhou Yan naturally coveted them.
Li Chungang unleashed his powerful divine sense, probing the strange areas.
Zhou Yan also unleashed his powerful mental energy, exploring the surroundings. Soon, he made a discovery.
However, there were barriers everywhere. Pinpointing the exact location of the spiritual fields still required them to explore one by one.
"Let's go this way first." Zhou Yan pointed to a certain spot. His formation skills were excellent, and he didn't trigger a single mechanism or array.
Avoiding the mechanisms and traps, they arrived at a hidden barrier.
Li Chungang, finding Zhou Yan's formation breaking too slow, condensed a sword energy. The terrifying sword energy tore through the heavens and earth, its edges sharp and emitting a stern sword intent.
"Whoosh!"
The attack of a demigod was incredibly powerful. As this sword energy struck the barrier, the entire barrier began to shatter like an eggshell.
Instantly!
A surge of powerful spiritual energy washed over them. Zhou Yan, upon seeing the situation inside, looked astonished. This was not a spiritual field, but an alchemy room.
"What a huge alchemy furnace!" Zhao Min blinked her beautiful eyes, carefully examined its quality, and then exclaimed, "This is actually a spiritual artifact alchemy furnace!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the alchemy furnace.
"Not bad, not bad, not bad. Just for this alchemy furnace, this trip was worthwhile." Zhou Yan smiled, very satisfied.
