Chapter 345

"Boss, let me slaughter this vine!" Number One said, stepping forward.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Jiang Li said: "First of all, never mind whether you can kill such a thing!"

"If you do kill it, you will be ruining my plan!"

Seeing the many Golden Skeletons with faces full of shock.

Jiang Li explained slightly: "Normally, this is a trial, a royal trial for my current identity. Passing it is extremely difficult. The Norland Kingdom has existed for ten thousand years, yet there are so few Imperial Princes; most of the others failed the trial and were forced to die in this valley during the trial!"

"And a large portion of the royal family members simply fell into the common folk, becoming the most ordinary citizens of the Norland Kingdom."

"And the biggest problem with this valley is that the people in this dungeon do not have the potions for replenishment that we Professionals have. Even if I enter here, I dare not use potions for replenishment casually; if I do replenish, it might cause major problems!"

"But don't you think the situation right in front of us is a great opportunity?"

"This last living vine, I could slaughter it easily, but—why should I slaughter it so easily?"

"Can't I wait until my spirit, blood qi, and mana are all restored before I slaughter it? Then I can face the next challenge. Isn't that great?"

The skeletons looked at each other, and each other looked at them.

Next, these shameless skeletons began to flatter one by one.

"No wonder you're the boss; you really have more wisdom than Big Brother. Awesome."

"The boss is the boss; there's a reason we are forever the little brothers!"

Jiang Li also felt somewhat intoxicated, as if floating on clouds.

He felt that in the history of Norland, perhaps no one had been able to reach his level.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth would all spawn different trials.

"If I am not mistaken, this Wood-attribute trial is the most difficult for ordinary people!"

"Because they cannot be destroyed; one must use special methods to suppress these vines that whip wildly, strike wildly, and stab wildly!"

"After all, not everyone possesses a Mythical-level weapon like the Ice Wheel!"

No outsiders were in the valley.

Only his absolutely loyal summoned creatures.

Jiang Li also spoke freely.

"Wow, the weapon in the boss's hand is actually Mythical-level; no wonder it was like slicing melons and chopping vegetables just now!"

Afterwards, Jiang Li created distance between himself and those vines.

Those vines possessed a trace of intelligence initially; they knew Jiang Li was not to be trifled with and did not dare to attack rashly and proactively.

Jiang Li came to an open space and said: "When I first arrived here, it was a lake of molten lava!"

"Then—shortly after, it was attacks by Gold Crystals, then I summoned you—followed by the Wood-attribute vines, and all the Gold Crystals and such in the entire valley disappeared!"

"So I guess—the valley is undergoing the Five Elements trials!!!"

Having said this, Jiang Li glanced at the warm molten lava in the distance.

"Then, Boss, does that mean after passing the Five Elements trials, you will be able to temper your body with the warm molten lava?" said Number One Golden Skeleton.

Jiang Li frowned and thought for a while, saying: "Not necessarily!"

"When we came down, Lance has already said that the current Crown Prince of Norland also passed the trial of this valley—and gained the approval of many ministers, but the only thing he did not pass was the tempering of the body with warm molten lava!"

"Lance said that only after passing the trial and passing the tempering of the body with warm molten lava can one be considered to have completely passed the trial!"

"That is to say, passing the trial does not necessarily mean one can pass the tempering of the body with warm molten lava!"

"So where exactly is the key?"

Jiang Li's gaze drifted to Skeleton Number 95; the golden skeleton frame shimmered with light; those frames were the reinforced skeletons...

He seemed to have grasped something, then looked again at the single remaining plant vine inside the valley!!!

"I think—"

"My Five Elements trials do not necessarily require complete slaughter; it is possible that each Five Elements trial will grant a certain benefit."

"If that is the case, then what benefit would the Wood-attribute Five Elements trial grant?"
