Chapter 1213 - Trial Ground (1/2)

The few young Sword Saints paled as they thought of those nauseating poisonous insects and they couldn’t help retching. But the four Sword Saints were also rejoicing, they had been fortunate enough to not be poisoned too deeply.

Laibo sighed in relief. He could sense that although Constantine was about to vomit his gallbladder out, his vitality was stabilizing and his deathless aura wasn’t being consumed anymore. This showed that the poison had been completely cleansed out of his system.

“Sir Mafa, this is truly thanks to you. If not for your quick reaction, Constantine would have already died.

“I can’t imagine what I would have felt watching my junior apprentice brother die in front of me, and I don’t know how I would have faced the Abbot upon my return…”

Laibo looked like he was weeping. He had just been terrified when Constantine’s poison burst out. That kind of helpless despair wasn’t something he wanted to go through again.

Lin Yun shook his head.

“Sir Laibo, you are too polite. I would obviously do my best since I promised you.”

Laibo sighed and then pulled the still-retching Constatine up with a solemn expression.

“Constantine, your life has been saved by Sir Mafa this time. Sir Mafa not only rescued you from that damned area, he even cleanse everyone’s poison. Especially you Constantine, if not for Sir Mafa’s quick reaction, you would have already died. You should hurry and thank Sir Mafa!”

The other four Sword Saints sincerely followed ancient etiquette and thanked Lin Yun for saving their lives. As for Constantine, he had a twisted and pale expression as he was carried by Laibo to show proper courtesy.

Constantine’s expression kept distorting, his complexion sullen and weak.

‘This guy absolutely did it on purpose. Right, he definitely did it on purpose to humiliate me. Why else would the basic treatment work on the others but not on me? Those nauseating insects were definitely raised by that guy and are definitely under his control, that’s why they didn’t fully absorb the poison within my body.

‘He then waited for the poison within my body to burst out to make me swallow a bottle of nauseating insects… Heavens, I can’t…’

Constantine’s face distorted as he concluded that Lin Yun did it on purpose to humiliate him, that he used this method to retaliate against him.

But as he thought of those poisonous insects, the scene of those insects entering his mouth and sliding down his throat flashed in Constantine’s mind.

Thinking of this scene, Constantine couldn’t help retching…

How could Lin Yun know what Constantine was thinking of? He was focused on those Ancient Poison Dragon’s parasites. They were even more frightening than his demonic subordinates had made them out to be. Even with such a complicated poison bursting out, they could cleanly absorb all of the poison within a few seconds.

And they were only larvae, how powerful would they be when they matured?

After all, that poison almost poisoned the inheritors of the Secret Monastery to death. These guys were all 9th Rank Sword Saints, and most of them are at the peak of the 9th Rank, their vitality is even more vigorous than most Heaven Rank Sword Saints.

Even they almost died from the poison. The average 9th Rank Sword Saint would have already turned into a pool of waste.

But this poison was only tasty food to a Poison Dragon’s parasite. Having these meant that any poison they encountered in the future could be absorbed.

‘It looks like if I want to nurture them, I have to go to the Raging Flame Plane and return to the valley the Ancient Poison Dragon’s corpse is at. The poisonmist has yet to dissipate, maybe these guys would mature if they could absorb the poisonmist.

‘At that time, any mage under the Heaven Rank would be poisoned to death if bitten, and if a large group appeared together, it wouldn’t be impossible for them to poison a Heaven Mage to death.’

The five young Sword Saints’ injuries were quite heavy. They needed to wait for them to recover a bit before going forward. Lin Yun didn’t feel like wasting time so he gave them five Health Potions. These potions were far more effective on these guys learning Deathless Aura than on mages.

It took less than an hour for the group of Sword Saint to recover, and although their fighting strength had slightly decreased, it wouldn’t take more than a day before they fully recovered.

Laibo’s confidence increased after successfully rescuing his five junior apprentice brothers and he immediately led the group in another direction.

Lin Yun frowned when they reached the area.

“Sir Mafa, my junior apprentice sister carelessly walked over there when an array suddenly activated.

“I’m worried that more changes would occur if I attacked the array again. It would be very troublesome if poison reappeared. Is this array easy to crack?”

Lin Yun took out the crystal ball and looked at it carefully but his face didn’t look good.

“This isn’t an ordinary array, this is a unidirectional alchemy portal. The area behind the portal is the ruins’ trial ground.

“If you want to come out, you can only use another unidirectional alchemy portal. Cracking this array isn’t possible, because I don’t know what’s inside.

“If I forcibly crack it, it would release everything contained within, regardless of what is inside.”

Laibo couldn’t help holding his breath when he heard Lin Yun’s words. He looked at the ten-kilometer-wide area and a scene appeared in his mind.

Over twenty Heaven Puppets leading over a thousand level 39 puppets like a tide of metal. Facing this terrifying power, they all looked like floating trees in a flood, their only outcome was to be torn into pieces.

‘The previous cracked array had two Heaven Puppets, but this place is the trial ground, just how many puppets are inside?

‘No one knows…’

“Sir Mafa, is my junior apprentice sister…”

Lin Yun shook his head and pointed at the alchemy portal.

“No, this alchemy portal is still operating, which shows that the trial hasn’t ended yet. This portal would have already disappeared if the challenge was over.

“If we want to save your junior apprentice sister, we have to go in and complete the trial before coming out from the other portal…”

Laibo urged, “What are we waiting for then? This has already been several days, my junior apprentice sister has yet to come out, she must be trapped inside…”

Lin Yun shook his head and reminded everyone, “I’ll say this ahead of time. You all have to listen to me after entering the portal. Sir Laibo and I have to go in, but leaving you outside is too dangerous. You’ll definitely die as long as a Heaven Puppet leads a group over.

“But the difficulty of the trial will increase after we enter. I’ll be continuously deciphering and altering the array to weaken the trial’s difficulty. Without my permission, you can’t do anything or we will be in danger and might die.”

Lin Yun’s tone was dull, but everyone felt a bone-chilling breeze in the back of their neck.

After saying those words, Lin Yun immediately led them to that alchemy portal, with Laibo guiding his five junior apprentice brothers into the alchemy portal.

Rays of light flickered as they appeared on a several-kilometer-wide square. The earth on the square had been enhanced an unknown amount of times with a large number of defensive runes.

There was also a light barrier enveloping the entire square. They were on a ten-meter-big platform on the edge of the square.

And as they appeared, a platform with two Heaven Puppets and five level 39 puppets appeared ahead of them. But the puppets were all in an inactive state.
