Chapter 1455: Chapter 462: Copper Bone Corpse Demon, Heart-Pounding and Life-Or-Death Sprint, Trial Interlude, Turbulent Waves of Intrigue (Part 6)
After speaking, he paused for a moment and continued looking at Cai Shiqin, "This year, the Cold Beasts seem to have all gathered on the western side, which is less than two kilometers from the trial zone of Chen Cang. If we continue heading west, we should encounter even more targets."
Cai Shiqin heard his suggestion, a trace of hesitation appeared in her eyes, and she turned her head to look west, pondering slightly.
On the other side, Cai Zizheng had no choice after receiving his orders. However, when he saw Su Xing’er and her brothers, his pupils revealed a hint of mockery. As he handed the Blood Jade Pearl over, he pretended to slip and dropped it on the ground.
The Blood Jade Pearl slipped to the ground, and he did not indicate anything, just wearing a slight cold smile, directly turning his head and walking towards Cai Shiyan.
The surrounding people, seeing this situation, all revealed cold smiles and mockery.
Such humiliation greatly angered Su Xing’er and her three brothers.
Especially the hot-tempered Su Jing, who couldn’t help but step forward slightly, clearly wanting to say something.
"Big Brother..."
However, before he could speak, Su Xing’er gently stopped him.
Su Xing’er shook her head at Su Jing, then stepped forward to pick up the twelve Blood Jade Pearls from the ground. She distributed three to each of her three brothers and softly said to Su Jing, "Big brother, bear it for a bit longer, he just wants to force us to leave on our own. There are basically no low-level Cold Beasts in the trial zone, without them, we probably won’t get a single Blood Jade Pearl. Let’s stay in the team, see if we can enhance our strength first, or find other ways to deal with the Cold Beasts, then we can leave."
Hearing his sister’s words, Su Jing nodded heavily, then thought of something and directly handed his Blood Jade Pearls to Su Xing’er.
Seeing this, Su Xu and Su Zhi also responded immediately, handing over their three Blood Jade Pearls as well.
Su Xing’er received the nine Blood Jade Pearls, instantly realizing what was happening. She looked at her three brothers with a touch of emotion in her eyes, then said nothing, directly following the others, and swallowed the Blood Jade Pearls.
"Let’s quickly enhance our strength. I’ve heard that in past trials on the way to the Trial Camp, many people have raised their power by twenty or thirty zong in just two months. If others can do it, so can I. As long as my strength is enough, I’ll immediately lead my big brother and the others away from the team. By then, the Blood Jade Pearls will be as much as we want!"
Su Xing’er clenched her fist, her eyes full of determination.
"Alright, let’s go!"
Cai Shiyan had already spoken, indicating for everyone to continue moving forward.
Though Su Xing’er and her brothers were angry, since they decided to continue following the team, they naturally said no more and just followed the team onward.
Taking the Blood Jade Pearls doesn’t make much difference right now; they wouldn’t hunt forever. They usually find a safe place to rest by late night, and then it’s not too late to use them for cultivation.
Woosh woosh woosh...
The piercing cold wind hit their faces, and Su Xing’er looked up directly ahead, which was the west side. Her face revealed a trace of doubt.
"It seems like the further west we go, the colder it gets..."
Is this an illusion?
.........
The trial zones of Chen Cang and Cai Qiu’s two Feudal Towns are right next to each other.
The reason is simple. The so-called trial zone is the northern outer area of the Blood Miasma Plain cleared by the two Feudal Towns respectively. To ensure the safety of the trial disciples, they set the trial zone as far outside as possible.
Additionally, the spheres of influence of the two families in the Blood Miasma Plain clearly have defined boundaries, so it’s not surprising that the trial zones are next to each other.
If someone could take an overlook at the whole situation right now, they would find that all participants in the trial, whether teams or individuals, seem to be manipulated by an invisible giant hand. The people of Chen Cang are heading east, while those from Cai Qiu are going west, as if they are both intentionally converging towards the central area.
.........
Above the region ten kilometers west of Zhenyuan Camp.
The piercing cold wind howled past, and an old hunchbacked man in a black and white robe was quietly suspended in mid-air.
The old Taoist held a bell in his left hand and a fan in his right, with a gray-white pennant stuck on his back, its surface fluttering in the cold wind.
The old Taoist sinisterly stared in the direction of the western camp. Suddenly, a strange black wind blew in, and his pupils burst with a gleam of light.
"How’s it going?"
The black wind stopped in front of him. Hearing the old Taoist’s hoarse inquiry, it stagnated for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Fighting has broken out on both sides of Zhenyuan Camp and the Melting Furnace. The fifty thousand troops in the trial zone should soon rush south for reinforcements. All Xianyang Level fighters have basically left, and the fifteen thousand troops, those in the Tribulation Body Realm from Cai Qiu, definitely can’t sit still. You can act freely now."
"Hehehe, that’s good!"
The old Taoist chuckled sinisterly a few times, then thought of something and continued to ask, "What about Thousand Face? Did she go to watch over those in the Tribulation Body Realm from the Feudal Towns?"
The black airflow stagnated for a moment, then spoke, "No, I sent her to deal with someone for me. The one I mentioned to you last year, the person with the Yin Yang Mirror."
"The Yin Yang Mirror!"
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist immediately recalled something, his pupils contracting, and then he spoke slowly, "Thousand Face is most afraid of this. With her nature, she shouldn’t deal with that person directly, right?"
"Definitely not. That person has some competence, and with the methods of the Yin Yang Mirror, I couldn’t hold him back last year on the Bone-Eroding Path. Besides, Thousand Face’s strength is not in direct confrontation. She often uses others to kill, surely she’s gathered quite a few helpers!"
"Yes, yes, indeed. Hehehe..."
