Qi Chen did not know that his sneak attack on the lion-headed man had been broadcasted by the inheritance tower.
After retreating to a safe location, Qi Chen began to calculate the gains from this decapitation operation.
They were a level-three armor that had been destroyed, and a level-three broadsword that was still half-damaged.
Five bottles of red medicine, five bottles of white medicine, and three bottles of blue medicine.
There were quite a lot of things so the harvest this time was quite bountiful.
As for his three teammates, they were all dead.
Qi Chen nodded in satisfaction.
After maxing out the armor value of the level-three armor, Qi Chen continued on his way.
For demon beasts that were not in human form, weapons could also be used. It could directly increase the attack attributes.
However, the characteristics of each weapon were different. For example, the broadsword dropped from the lion-headed man’s hand.
A level-three broadsword had 5 points of attack, but a spear only had 3.5.
In comparison, the spear’s attack range and attack speed were its own advantages.
Of course, for Qi Chen, he did not rely on the characteristics of his weapon to fight.
There was no problem that a Shadow Kill could not solve. If there was, then all he needed was another one!
After organizing his things, Qi Chen continued on his way.
As time passed, the surroundings of the map were already occupied by the poisonous fog.
The trial-takers that stayed in the poisonous fog for a long time would lose their qualifications to enter the trial.
“Dear trial-takers who are still alive! Greetings! Now, the first supply drop will be held!”
Black Dragon King’s voice reverberated in the air. “My treasure? You can have it if you want it. Go find it! I left all the riches of the world there.”
Why does this line sound so familiar?
Countless question marks floated above Qi Chen’s head.
But he had no intention of letting this supply drop go.
He opened the map and saw that there was indeed a landing spot marked on the map. The supply drop would land there thirty minutes later.
However, the higher-power had also said that there would be trials along with the treasures.
“Tsk, just watch me stay here.”
“I’ll be the best camper ever!”
Half an hour was enough to reach the supply drop location.
Qi Chen packed his things and left immediately.
[Prompt: Five hundred meters ahead, three level-five mutated beasts, one level-five demon beast have appeared!]
[Prompt: Nine hundred meters to the right, two level-five mutated beasts, two level-five demon beasts have appeared!]
[Prompt: Six hundred meters to the left, three level-five mutated beasts, one level-three demon beast have appeared!]
[Prompt: Nine hundred…]
When Qi Chen got close to the supply drop location, the system notifications kept ringing non-stop.
At a glance, he could only see a stretch of yellow sand. Only the sacrificial altar that was dropped from the sky stood alone in the yellow sand.
“Shit, everyone is camping, that’s too much.”
Qi Chen muttered in a low voice from afar. After saying that, he hid in the sand as well.
Now was not the time to show his face.
Half an hour passed quickly.
They saw two huge birds dragging a huge crate as they flew across the sky, tossing the crate accurately on the altar.
As the crate landed, the Black Dragon King’s voice sounded again.
“Pandora’s box contains hope and despair! Come, open it!”
As the Black Dragon King finished his sentence, the crate hit the ground at the same time, stirring up a yellow sand.
Charge!
The team closest to the crate shook off the yellow sand on their bodies and rushed towards the box.
Just as they were about to touch the chest, a long spear turned into a huge arrow and flew over from behind, piercing through the person in the lead.
The expressions of the remaining three people changed. They all dodged to the side, but they could not avoid the follow-up attacks.
A few more people emerged from the sand.
In an instant, the four of them were completely annihilated.
The people following up were still rushing towards the box.
Qi Chen remained unmoved as he watched the battle.
He was waiting for all the teams in the system’s scanning range to appear before he went up.
The appearance of the supply drop caused the number of surviving teams in the mystic realm to decrease rapidly.
In just ten minutes, nearly five teams were missing.
Flipping over an enemy in front of him, a man in a gray robe slashed and bathed in his enemy’s blood before checking the situation around him.
Other than one of his teammates, there was no one else standing.
The gray-robed man revealed a satisfied smile.
He pressed his hand against the crate.
A faint purple glow came from the opening of the crate.
This purple light made Qi Chen feel a very familiar palpitation.
Something’s wrong!
Alarm bells rang in Qi Chen’s heart.
Without any hesitation, he immediately pulled himself up from the yellow sand.
However, it was too late. The crate that was as tall as a person left the ground and suspended in the air. The body of the crate opened up, and purple light bloomed!
Beams of purple light enshrouded a radius of over a kilometer, forming the prototype of an arena.
Qi Chen only felt that he couldn’t move and was moved into the arena by an invisible force.
“Ladies and gentlemen!”
The apparition of the Black Dragon King appeared above the sacrificial altar.
It laughed loudly and said, “Now! The Great Escape Mystic Realm, the first competition, Face to Face on the Narrow Road, begins!”
“The participants must kill off all the participants from the other side within the allotted time! Otherwise, both sides will be judged to have failed!”
“Then, the first prize of this competition is—”
The Black Dragon King dragged out the last syllable, and the camera outside the tower moved with his voice.
A lotus flower with eighty-one petals stood on the stage.
“Ten thousand year Nine Reincarnations Soul Returning Flower!”
“!?”
“What’s that?”
“I don’t know, but it sounds like it’s quite impressive.”
The spectators outside the tower were dumbstruck.
Those who were more powerful had bright eyes.
The Soul Returning Flower was said to be a flower that only grew on the bones of utmost powerful beings.
This flower would grow a petal every hundred years.
When it grew to eighty-one petals, it would become the legendary Nine Reincarnations Soul Returning Flower.
The effect of the Nine Reincarnations Soul Returning Flower was unknown, but it was said that it could allow the user to reincarnate nine times with their memories.
Nine Reincarnations Soul Returning Flower… What the heck?
Qi Chen scratched his head.
However, the three words “ten thousand years” had a fatal attraction to him.
With this flower, wouldn’t he be able to level up while lying down?
No matter what, he was determined to get this flower!
“Now, let the competition begin! Let the contestants from both sides enter!”
Qi Chen’s figure appeared in a corner of the arena.
His opponent in this battle was a werewolf.
As both sides entered the arena, the arena began to collapse from the edges.
Qi Chen leaped and the entire egg flew forward like a bullet.
“Oh! It’s starting!”
“Our egg demon contestant attacked first.. Can he defeat the werewolf like he defeated the lion-headed man and create another miracle? Let’s wait and see!”
