Chapter 5: Trial starts, surprise attack of the terror demons

Trial starts, surprise attack of the terror demons

After the decree execution ended, everyone gathered again.

Cheng Shi looked at Chen Chong and found that he was holding a bottle of fruit wine, smiling at everyone:

"I found today's 【Order Anchor】. A bar was buried under the ruins. I dug through the rubble and found a rule of the bar: Fruit wine only today."

As he spoke, Chen Chong handed the wine in his hand to the teammate closest to him.

The wine bottle was very new, without a trace of dust. This clearly wasn't found in the ruins; it most likely came from his storage space.

Every player had a personal space the size of an insurance cabinet to store the most important things.

Cheng Shi also had one, with many strange things inside, but what he didn't expect was that someone actually liked to put drinks in it like him.

"The pressure is too high, I can't sleep at night without drinking two cups, so I keep a few bottles ready. Everyone take a sip, and the radiance of 【Order】 will protect you. Don't worry, the alcohol content is very low and won't affect the upcoming battle."

The decree of 【Order】 is to find order. Only those who follow certain rules can receive blessings.

And if you want to accept the protection of 【Order】, others must also follow the order found.

Simple rules clearly increased everyone's safety index. Everyone was very happy, and everyone took the wine bottle in turn and took a sip.

Only Cheng Shi, after taking it, drank half a bottle gulp by gulp.

Chen Chong's brow jumped, suddenly feeling that this priest was a bit unreliable.

Cao Sansui's decree execution beside him also went very smoothly. He took out several golden pocket watches and began to distribute them to everyone.

"I anchored time and calibrated all the pocket watches. This watch will report the time 5 minutes, 3 minutes, and 1 minute before the hour. Everyone, pay attention to maintaining your own state. Time Walkers can only decide when the 【Time Battlefield】 starts and ends, but cannot decide what state you are in within the time battlefield."

Seeing everyone examining the pocket watches, Cao Sansui said again:

"To prevent everyone from not having a clear understanding of the 【Time Battlefield】, I must remind everyone again:

The decree of 【Time】 is precision and punctuality.

When I lay down the 【Time Battlefield】, we must open it on the hour and end the battle and dispute on another hour.

If we can't do it, we will be trapped in an eternal time loop until we do.

But every loop will dissolve our concept of time, and excessive looping will make us completely lost in the long river of time and never be able to escape.

Remember, time reversal is not omnipotent."

Everyone responded one after another. Seeing that everyone was prepared, Chen Chong nodded, looked into the distance, and said:

"There are still some buildings on the east side of this ruin that haven't been completely destroyed. For safety's sake, let's hide there first until we figure out what the battlefield is, or do something after being passively attacked. How about it?"

"I have no opinion." Xia Wan's tone was still cold. "There have been few such inhumane town destructions in the history of the Continent of Hope. I guess this trial is most likely the counterattack of the Continent of Hope."

Cao Sansui nodded slightly:

"Not bad. Our location should be near the Forest County. There are many people in the Mage Channel who study trial history. If what we are facing is truly the counterattack of the Continent of Hope, then what we are about to face is most likely the right wing of the Skeleton Army."

Cheng Shi admired these people who studied trial history, because he never studied it, nor did he have the patience to study it.

In this weird world, living had already exhausted half of his energy.

As for the other half, it had to be saved for lying.

Half a month after the 【Faith Game】 started, some people noticed that every trial, players seemed to be teleported to a world that had once existed.

Many people were curious about this world that only existed in the trial, so they began to collect background information and organized this information, sharing it with the public in the profession channel and faith channel.

Unfortunately, Cheng Shi couldn't see any effective information in his faith channel.

All the history fragments related to the trial background were seen from the profession channel.

He was indeed a priest.

Chen Chong was clearly not someone who studied history. He frowned and asked:

"So?"

Xia Wan continued: "There is very little information about the right wing battle. If I remember correctly, the one recorded the most should be..."

Before she could finish her words, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the sky in the distance.

Everyone changed their expressions upon hearing the sound and hurriedly turned to look.

Only to see that the sky in the distance had turned ink-colored at some point, and overwhelming black wings were flapping, approaching like a storm, blocking out the sun.

"... Terror demons."

Xia Wan's expression was gloomy, giving the answer.

Terror demons were hell demons with flesh wings on their backs, specializing in feeding on fear and good at creating chaos. They were believers of 【Filth】 and also the mortal enemies of 【Birth】.

Terror demons

Looking at this terrifying number, if they really fought, the six of them wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of the army.

"This is also... too many!"

Cheng Shi frowned and looked at the pocket watch, finding that the time had just passed the hour and reached 9:01. The time battlefield didn't seem to have time to open.

Cao Sansui's expression also changed. Clearly, he didn't expect the rhythm of this trial to be so fast, and he encountered a flying army as soon as he came up.

"Brother Cao, in your 1900-point match, is this the order of magnitude??" Song Yawen said in shock.

Cao Sansui felt bitter inside. Fart, I haven't seen it either.

"Retreat, hurry, take advantage of not being discovered, retreat into the cover, avoid frontal contact, hurry up!"

Chen Chong shouted, took off the giant shield on his body, covered the light on the shield, and led everyone to run to the east with their bodies low.

Song Yawen took the lead. When he rushed out and touched the shadow in the ruins, his whole person turned into a light smoke and instantly disappeared before everyone's eyes.

This was the assassin's profession skill, Shadow Shuttle.

They wandered in the darkness, shuttled under the shadows, and within a short distance, could change positions by relying on shadows and hide themselves with the help of shadows.

This kind of hiding wasn't physical hiding, but escaping into the shadow plane and disappearing directly.

Xia Wan's speed was not inferior. As a hunter, agility was their synonym.

While running, she was scattering "Creation Grass Seeds" on the ground.

This was a trap item blessed by 【Birth】. Life touched by the grass seeds would be affected by the will of 【Birth】, becoming extremely eager to reproduce and quickly conceiving independent individuals in the body that deviated from the main body's consciousness.

This was also the main attack method of 【Birth】 believers. They never directly destroyed the enemy, but let the enemy conceive to distort the enemy's will and let the enemy move toward destruction by themselves.

Although the gods of the 【Life】 fate were biased toward order, the order in will didn't affect the distortion in matter. In some specific forms of expression, the gods of order were no worse than the gods of disorder.

Even more so.

"I need at least 57 minutes and 42 seconds to reset the time battlefield. During this period, I can only affect everyone's time domain. Pray, friends, hope they haven't discovered us."

"Less nonsense, use it now, accelerate us!"

Chen Chong roared, and the speed of rushing forward increased by three parts again.

Cao Sansui responded: "Area, fast forward!"

As soon as the words fell, the figures of the five people accelerated as if they had been pressed the double-speed key, and they ran out nearly a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Shi only felt that there was wind under his feet, and he was fast. The place that originally took several minutes to reach was reached in just over ten seconds.

Unfortunately, this acceleration effect could only take effect in a certain area. After leaving the area, their speed immediately plummeted back to the original state.

Although Cao Sansui had a high segment, he was exhausted from accelerating such a large area at once. Seeing that he was a bit weak, Chen Chong pulled him, threw him on his back, and continued to run forward.

"Assassin go first, clear the ruins, find a stronghold!"

"Nangong, restore the mage's mental strength! Progeny Priest, don't move around, it's not time for you to exert your strength yet."

"Creation Hunter, set up more traps. The scouts of the terror demons won't always march in the air. After they land, drag them for as long as you can!"

Chen Chong had good judgment and calm command, clearly relying on strength to reach 1600 points.

But the current situation was too bad, leaving him no other choice. While running, he cautiously selected broken walls that could accommodate six people, hoping to escape a disaster.

However, the change in the battle situation was much faster than expected.

Before they could rush into the ruins ahead, a dense army of Terror Demons had already swooped down toward the ruins.

Their scouts had long discovered the existence of the players.

"Ya—Sa—"

The terrifying whistling spread throughout the ruins. The excitement of the terror demons was clearly felt. They seemed to have found a "small snack" on their march.

"It's too late, the grass seeds are triggered! Contact!" ===== CHAPTER 6 =====
