Chapter 282 - I Want the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Fire Lotus (2)
“Oh!” The Zhu family members seemed to have only reacted at this moment. They hurriedly used their spiritual skills to kill the bugs.
In the secret room, colorful spiritual skills were flying all over the sky. Wherever these spiritual skills went, countless bugs died or were injured…
About half an hour later, they killed all the bugs, but the mechanical voice did not appear.
“Xue’er, there’s something wrong, isn’t there?” Leng Ruohan couldn’t help asking. Logically speaking, that voice should have appeared after they killed all the bugs! But…
“Probably because we haven’t completed the task yet. Everyone, be alert!” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.
Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, countless more bugs emerged from the ground. Moreover, their numbers and strength were at least twice as strong as the previous batch.
“Let’s begin!” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly and attacked first.
“Lass! How long do we have to fight?” Old Zao couldn’t help asking. He had not exercised his old bones like this for a long time. Boohoo… So tiring!
“Fight until that voice appears,” Leng Ruoxue said calmly. If there were no outsiders here, she would have released all her beasts long ago.
“Alas! Fighting is so physically demanding!” Old Man exclaimed.
An hour later, everyone worked together and eliminated all the bugs again, but the voice still didn’t appear.
“Damn it. What’s the meaning of this!” someone from the Zhu family cursed.
“Xue’er, haven’t we completed the task yet?” Leng Qingtian was puzzled. This lousy task was too tormenting. Fortunately, they had pills, and their spiritual power recovered quickly. Otherwise, they would definitely be exhausted to death if this continued.
“Grandpa, don’t worry. We will complete it,” Leng Ruoxue comforted.
After a while, countless bugs swarmed up from the ground again. The number this time was twice as many as before.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the densely-packed bugs and snorted in her heart. Spirit of the mystic realm, this better be the last time. Otherwise, I will destroy this place.
“Let’s do it!” Leng Ruoxue said coldly.
Before Leng Ruoxue finished speaking, everyone impatiently started killing the bugs. They raised their hands and slashed down, and spiritual power flew everywhere. The bugs died one after another. Moreover, everyone attacked ruthlessly. Cleary, they were venting the anger they had been accumulating for a long time on the unlucky bugs.
After a while, when everyone eliminated all the bugs again, the mechanical voice finally appeared. “Congratulations on passing the fourth level. Each of you will obtain five thousand points. Now, you can go to the next level. Hehe, even though there are still two portals, you don’t have to make a choice because they will transport you to the same place. Haha!” the mechanical voice laughed hysterically.
Leng Ruoxue held back her anger and looked at everyone around her. “In that case, let’s go!”
“Let’s go!” Leng Qingtian and the others nodded and stepped into the portal together.
After the light flashed and disappeared, Leng Ruoxue and the others were teleported to the last level of the desert labyrinth.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the environment in front of her. This secret room should be the largest in the entire labyrinth. In the corner of the secret room, there were also two golden portals, and two teams were already waiting here.
The people from the two teams were stunned when they saw Leng Ruoxue’s team. But they quickly recovered and nodded at them in a friendly manner.
After Leng Ruoxue’s team arrived, Ming Huan’s and the Zhu family’s teams also arrived.
“I’m very happy that you all reached the last level of the desert labyrinth safe and sound. This last level is the most difficult one in the entire labyrinth. In addition, only three out of your five teams can leave the labyrinth safely,” the mechanical voice said excitedly.
“What do you mean by only three teams can leave safely?” Ming Huan asked in puzzlement.
“Only three teams can get out alive,” the mechanical voice explained.
“Then those who can’t get out will die here?” Leng Ruoxue frowned slightly.
“Yes, two other teams must die. But it’s up to you who lives and who dies,” the mechanical voice said, trying to shift the blame.
“Do you mean that you want us five teams to kill each other?” Leng Ruoxue asked coldly.
“Yes, haha! This is the rule of the labyrinth. There are only three rewards for the last level!” the mechanical voice laughed irresponsibly.
“What if only one team survives in the end?” the Zhu family elder suddenly asked.
“Then all the rewards will belong to the living team, of course!” the mechanical voice said matter-of-factly.
“Tell me about the rewards first!” Leng Ruoxue said. This was what she was most concerned about.
“Haha! Alright, the first among you will obtain two sacred artifacts, one offensive and one defensive.
“Second place will obtain two divine beasts, and you can contract them directly without needing to tame them.
“Third place will obtain a ten-thousand-year-old fire lotus,” the mechanical voice explained.
There’s actually a ten-thousand-year-old fire lotus! Great! It seemed that the spirit of the mystic realm was not lying to her. It was indeed what she wanted the most. But she only needed a one-thousand-year-old one. Would a ten-thousand-year-old one be a problem?
As an alchemist, she was very clear that the older the medicinal herbs, the higher the grade, and the better the quality of the concocted pills. However, pills of excellent quality might not be what she needed because both pills and spirit fruits had to be at the same level as the consumer to consume them without any danger. Therefore, she was a little worried whether the pills concocted by a ten-thousand-year-old fire lotus would be useful to Freak.
“Xue’er, a ten-thousand-year-old fire lotus will work,” the little silver mink said anxiously. He was so excited. Boohoo… I didn’t expect to find a ten-thousand-year-old fire lotus here. This is great. I finally don’t have to stay in this mink’s body anymore.
