Chapter 115: Bai Ling Fuses! Trial Content Updated!

~7 min read 1,392 words

After thinking about it, for the sake of safety, Teacher Jiang Lan chose a Profound Heaven Iron Maiden to lead the charge.

Even if they encountered danger, it would only be one Profound Heaven Iron Maiden, not enough to cause the entire exploration team to fall here.

Before long, that Profound Heaven Iron Maiden went in.

Don't let the fact that this was just a palace suspected to be a study fool you; the interior was actually very large, and what they saw outside was only the tip of the iceberg.

Through the shared network of the smart brain chip, Teacher Jiang Lan saw the perspective of this Profound Heaven Iron Maiden.

Everything here had long since decayed, but under the blessing of some mysterious power, it seemed to be frozen in time; even using violence, one could not destroy anything inside the palace.

The Profound Heaven Iron Maiden walked every step with extreme caution, afraid of triggering any traps.

After ten minutes of exploration, unfortunately, there was nothing to show for it.

Teacher Jiang Lan raised her arm, looked at the little white snake coiled on her arm, and asked, "Are you sure it's really here?"

Bai Ling nodded, and the certainty in its eyes made Teacher Jiang Lan believe it.

After a moment of hesitation, Teacher Jiang Lan said, "Then we'll take you in for a look. You guide us, and remember not to run around."

As the strongest in the team, to ensure the safety of the little white snake, she couldn't just let one Profound Heaven Iron Maiden follow.

She and the others could be resurrected if they died, but because Bai Ling was not a hero or troop type in the territory, it could not leave a reflection in the Magic Mirror; if it died, it was truly gone.

Bai Ling was overjoyed; it could feel a very familiar sense of intimacy here, as if something very important inside was calling to it.

Surrounded by the Profound Heaven Iron Maidens, Bai Ling, coiled on Teacher Jiang Lan’s arm, entered.

The study was dim, with various messy furnishings that were old and faded, and dust covered the floor.

Calling it a study, it was actually more like a library. The semi-cylindrical ring-shaped bookshelves were dozens of meters long, and a large number of books were not neatly arranged but had fallen from their original positions who knew how many years ago, piling up into a small mountain of books at the bottom.

Under Bai Ling’s guidance, Teacher Jiang Lan and the others walked into a room suspected to be a study and bedroom.

A bed was located in an ancient corner of the room, and the faded quilt on it was piled with books and notes.

Under Bai Ling’s swallowing, the toxins in the air were all swallowed, and the air in the room was filled with the scent of yellowed pages and ink, as if time had stopped here.

Suddenly, Bai Ling darted out excitedly, aiming for the direction of the bed, but was grabbed and pulled back by Teacher Jiang Lan.

"What's the rush?"

Teacher Jiang Lan snorted coldly, not in a good mood. She had promised Yun Shen; what would happen if this little white snake had an accident?

Bai Ling’s head was still probing toward the bed, as if there was something it couldn't refuse tempting it.

Teacher Jiang Lan approached slowly, only to find that what was attracting Bai Ling was a crystal ball placed on the nightstand.

This crystal ball was too big to be fully gripped by one hand and had a flat white metal base. Inside the crystal ball stood a little girl with white hair.

Her eyes were tightly closed, and if one observed carefully, one could see those pure white eyelashes. Her long hair fell like a waterfall, and her hands were clasped together in front of her chest, as if she were praying.

"Hmm? This little girl..."

Teacher Jiang Lan felt something was wrong and subconsciously leaned in to look with suspicion.

Just then, the little girl in the crystal ball suddenly opened her eyes!

They were a pair of pure blood-red eyes, clear and cute while also slightly evil.

Teacher Jiang Lan only felt her palm go empty; the Bai Ling she had been holding tightly suddenly disappeared, turning into a white light that drilled into the crystal ball and merged into the little girl’s body.

Afterward, black gas suddenly grew inside the crystal ball, coming from who knew where, wrapping the little girl tightly.

Teacher Jiang Lan picked up the crystal ball with an ugly expression. She couldn't react to the sudden change just now, and even if she had, it would have been useless; she simply didn't have the corresponding means to stop it.

And just now...

Why did she suddenly lean in?

Teacher Jiang Lan stared fixedly at the crystal ball in her hand, wanting to see something, but unfortunately, she couldn't see anything. She only knew that the crystal ball was, like the Snake Pearl from before, greedily and constantly swallowing the surrounding toxic gas.

She didn't yet know that, at the same time, all the Lords had been alarmed by the changes on her side.

[Trial Announcement: "His Pearl" has undergone an abnormal change. This clearance method is cancelled, and the trial content has been updated.]

[Primordial Era · Toxic Domain Survival (Simulation)]

[Theme Background: On the day of coronation, His territory turned into a toxic domain, and billions of living beings became poisonous creatures.]

[Trial Content: All toxic gas and poisonous creatures here are strengthening every moment.

Killing poisonous creatures can obtain a special limited-time item: Detox Pill.

Every 24 hours, there will be a siege of poisonous creatures.

Surviving in the toxic domain until the end, that is, when only one Lord remains, is considered a pass.]

[Trial Restriction: Cannot probe information.]

"What's the situation?"

Yun Shen, who was still working hard, suddenly paused. The message that popped up suddenly gave him a shock; he didn't know what had happened on Teacher Jiang Lan’s side.

However, he didn't receive a notification that Teacher Jiang Lan and the others had died, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Ten minutes later, after Yun Shen finished the battle as quickly as possible, he opened the trial channel and pulled the message to the very front.

"What's going on? The trial content actually updated..."

"There's a problem; maybe someone got the clearance item."

"But if they got it, shouldn't they have cleared the trial directly?"

"Probably an accident happened on the way; although they got it, the quest item was damaged or something."

"Now it's a competition of who has the most detox pills. Geniuses of all races, let's rely on our own abilities!"

Many Lords of various races who hadn't appeared before were also blown out by this news.

Everyone had a consensus: the clearance item was ruined.

Even Yun Shen himself guessed the same; it must have been that Teacher Jiang Lan and the others made a mistake while obtaining the clearance item.

"I hope Bai Ling is okay."

Yun Shen suddenly became a little worried.

Because Bai Ling’s protection was gone, the territory had once again been covered by toxic gas, even if Yun Shen was hiding in the alloy safe house; the toxins in the air seemed to be able to penetrate the metal barrier and transmit from the spatial level.

Fortunately, there were enough detox pills, and everyone in the territory didn't need to worry about being poisoned.

Time passed quietly. When the trial time reached forty-eight hours, the second wave of poisonous creature siege arrived.

Because Teacher Jiang Lan and the others hadn't returned, all the troop types stationed in the territory went to battle, and the Profound Heaven Research Institute also fired at full power.

Although they couldn't probe the information of the poisonous creatures, from the feedback of the troop types, the strength of these poisonous creatures was stronger than the first wave, and the number was also larger.

Up to now, of all the Lords participating in the trial, not a single one had left, and the number was still one hundred.

While the Profound Heaven Iron Maidens were dragging the corpses of the poisonous creatures, Teacher Jiang Lan and the others returned.
