Chapter 205 – The Puppet Trial (2/2)
“Hehe, this damn Puppet Trial! But, anyway, the sceneries are much better than in the Illusion Trial!”
Qinghan could hardly hide his feelings after seeing the vibrant plants and animals. For eight months, he had been imprisoned in the Illusion Trial like a prisoner behind bars, losing the opportunity to appreciate beautiful sceneries. In comparison, therefore, he felt blessed to meet those robust nature beings once again…
“Grrr!”
A horrifying howl came abruptly, which discontinued his meditation. His face instantly turned surly, as he looked around while searching for the dagger on his chest. With the aid of his Battle Qi, he ran as fast as his legs could carry him…
From behind, hundreds of demonic beasts appeared, flooding towards him. He could identify some of the beasts, like the fifth-grade shadow wolf, the sixth-grade triple-eyed hawk, the sixth-grade gigantic thorn dragon… For these normal beasts, Qinghan had the confidence to annihilate them all but the one running in the very front scared him a lot. It was a seventh-grade fire boa.
Although he could reach the peak level of the Realm of the Prince once integrated with his battle beast, he wasn’t sure whether he could bring down the fire boa or not. Usually, a seventh-grade demonic beast wasn’t a threat to him, given his current achievements in cultivation. Yet, this fire boa was highly toxic. Anyone bitten by this boa would face death. Its venom was extremely lethal! As for Qinghan, he just entered the threshold of the Realm of the Prince, thus had no experience in dealing with those kind of beasts.
Most importantly, Ye Ruoshui had told him that the demonic beasts in the Puppet Trial had no soul. They were instead manipulated by an unknown power. Without any self-conscience, all the beasts learned was to chase the invader and tear him up until the unfortunate guy died. Because the beasts were like soulless puppets, any soul-related techniques, like his integration technique, would be proven useless.
It was fair to say, that his previous glory in cultivation mostly relied on his integration technique, the only thing that he was proud of. As a normal Prince-Realm cultivator, he wasn’t anything special…
Figuring this out, he chose to set off at once. The dark cave at the end of the path was considered his best safe haven.
“Grr! Grr!”
Obviously, Qinghan kept a safe distance from the ferocious demonic beasts in the rear. But the seventh-grade fire boa was approaching him at an extraordinary speed.
Instead of using his Mysterious Track Step, Qinghan released some amount of his Battle Qi on his feet and lifted his speed. While at the same time, the Battle Qi in his hands was formed into a purple palm, aiming at the coming fire boa.
The purple palm of Battle Qi was approximately as large as one square meter. The largeness of the palm ensured the hit rate against fire boa.
- Bang! -
No doubt, following the booming sound, the purple palm collided with the fire boa. Hearing the sound, Qinghan was thrilled for he thought the most threatening beast was put under rein. However… when he turned back to steal a glance of the aftermath, he only found the fire boa being safe and sound, except for a dark bruise on its forehead. The beast remained steady with a pair of bloodshot eyes, ready to fight.
“Hehe, one more time!”
He carelessly laughed out, before he forged another purple palm of Battle Qi. The purple palms came one after another, although it did little harm to the fire boa. Yet the chasing speed of the boa could be somehow deterred, which helped Qinghan to win more time as he ran up ahead.
Within several minutes, Qinghan eventually arrived at the cave. The entrance of the cave was like an opening mouth of a ferocious beast. Staring at the darkness inside, Qinghan’s eyes lit up with a hint of shrewdness, as he curved the corner of his lips and wormed into the cave.
