This bizarre scene left everyone looking at each other, none daring to respond.
Although everyone had been through many trials, they had never encountered such a strange trial before.
Jiang Xue’s face turned pale, clearly frightened.
Many people cast their eyes towards Chu Xiu.
The previous events had established quite a bit of prestige for him among everyone.
He sighed softly, stepped forward, and said, "Indeed, Elders, do you know any information about this God?"
"Hehehe," another Elder chuckled dryly.
"This is a great God who has bestowed upon us food, power, and everything we need to survive."
"In exchange, you perform the sacrifice ritual to worship Him?"
Chu Xiu voiced his guess.
"Information isn’t free, young man," one Elder replied in a hoarse voice to Chu Xiu’s question.
"What do you want?"
"It’s simple, help us with sothing, and I’ll tell you everything you want to know about Az Ilituay Mgos’s origin and identity, whatever you want to ask."
Chu Xiu did not respond.
He wasn’t even interested in asking what these three strange individuals wanted him to do.
The reason was simple: following their plan offered no guarantee they would keep their word.
Chu Xiu preferred to have control in his own hands!
His eyes flickered as the Nether Demon Eyes activated quietly.
Under the Detection of the Nether Demon Eyes, two of the three Elders were Level 9 Mortal Tier, while the Great Elder in the middle was a Warrior Tier existence!
However, Skills, Traits, and Talents were all marked with question marks!
Even the three-dinsional attributes only showed the Constitution line.
Although the three averaged a pathetic 2.0, this in fact made Chu Xiu even more wary, as it likely ant these three elders possessed so special abilities!
The unknown always makes one hesitant.
But...
"Because they are confident in their own strength, there are no other guards here?" Chu Xiu glanced around subtly, besides the three Elders, there was only the man in black armor.
This situation was worth taking a gamble on; it was better than sitting and waiting for death!
"I have a better proposal." Chu Xiu’s lips curled into a smile.
"What?" the Elder inquired.
"Why not tell what I want to know right now, and in return, I won’t smash your heads, how about that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xiu spun and thrust his hips, and the Bone Spear concealed under his black robe stabbed out without warning!
The black-armored man beside him hadn’t even made a move before being pierced by the Bone Spear!
"You..."
He seed not to have expected Chu Xiu’s sudden attack, failing even to dodge before he felt a trendous shock in his brain!
Trait [Soul Piercing]!
And in that brief mont of disorientation, Zhou Juncai leapt up, and with the buff of his Profession Skill, his longsword moved with unbelievable speed. In a flash of Sword Aura, the black-armored man’s head rolled to the ground!
With their tacit cooperation, this powerful Warrior Tier existence was killed in an instant!
[Task Contribution Points 150]
The notification sound rang in Chu Xiu’s ears, filling his heart with joy!
In the trial task, because the experience had already been maxed out, everything was calculated in Task Contribution Points, which would affect his reward bonus after passing.
However, most people wouldn’t consider deliberately farming Contribution Points, as smoothly passing the leveling trial was already like a blessing.
"It seems this trial does offer a way out for people, the people in this village may be strong, but perhaps they aren’t frequently exposed to battles in the village, so their combat awareness isn’t high!"
"If that’s the case, then there’s a chance!"
anwhile, the other trial takers, as if pre-planned, simultaneously launched an attack on the three Elders!
Chu Xiu concentrated, watching expectantly; the strongest Warrior Tier among them had been preemptively killed by him, leaving three Elders with two at Level 9 Mortal Tier and one Warrior Tier, surrounded by the trial takers, they should be able to take them down!
However, he was disappointed to see that, in the face of the ambush, the three Elders showed not a trace of fear on their faces.
The Great Elder sitting at the center let out a disdainful sneer:
"Outsiders, you are courting death."
As his indifferent voice sounded, one of the elders chuckled, and the thorns within the helt on his head suddenly ejected, piercing directly into his skull!
A large amount of blood gushed out, almost completely covering his face, yet the elder let out a blissful moan as his aura visibly strengthened. Under the watch of the Nether Demon Eyes, his Level soared to the Warrior Tier in the blink of an eye!
He then pointed forward, and in that instant, overwhelming flas surged from his fingertip!
Seeing these flas, the faces of all the Trial Takers changed dramatically!
"Dodge quickly!"
Chai San halted his advancing stride in horror, shouted in rage, and blocked with the Great Shield, triggering a dazzling Spiritual Light from the shield that ford a Spirit Shield several tis the size of the shield itself!
The Defense Skill of the Royal Shield Guard Profession, Rock Barrier!
"Boom!"
The surging flas crashed against the Great Shield, sweeping around, turning the prison into a sea of fire in just a breath’s ti!
So behind him escaped disaster, but two or three Trial Takers were too slow to dodge and got caught by the flas!
The flas spread like they had a life of their own; even if only touched slightly, they rapidly burned along the human body, causing burned areas to carbonize swiftly, and soon after, new mutated flesh rose from the depths!
This resulted in a bizarre scene where those engulfed in flas scread in agony while continuously growing new flesh, resembling an unending cruel torture!
Even Chu Xiu shivered at this horrifying scene!
And the worst part was, the progress of the ritual began to surge!
[Current Ritual Progress: 18%]
[Current Ritual Progress: 22%]
[Current Ritual Progress: 27%!!!]
The bizarre statue behind the three elders glowed, and the painful expression of the man in the middle seed to carry a hint of pleasure!
"These ordinary Trial Takers are making it bloody harder for !"
Chu Xiu felt like cursing, but at this mont, sothing even more terrifying happened: besides the elder who initially attacked, the other two elders stood up as well.
As long needles pierced their skulls, their originally withered bodies swelled rapidly, becoming tough and powerful. The straps restraining them emitted alarming creaks and snapped one by one under the strain, and the wooden chairs were forcibly burst apart!
"Crack!"
With the clear sound of breaking wood, the three elders rose in succession, their height exceeding three ters almost instantly, nearly reaching the prison ceiling! Their skin remained deathly pale, resembling tyrants from a biochemical crisis. The Great Elder in the middle chuckled: "Since these pitiful sacrifices have discovered us, let’s begin the ritual early."
Saying this, he pointed at Chai San.
Chai San imdiately alerted, raised the Great Shield in front of him, and activated his Defense Skill!
But a terrifying thing occurred without any warning; Chu Xiu did not see any attack launched. Just a casual point, and Chai San’s face suddenly changed drastically as he clasped his burned hand, eyes reflecting extre fear!
"Ah!!!"
Amidst his imnsely frightened cries, a mass of mutated flesh surged from his wound, while the solid shield failed to provide him any protection!
This horrific scene made everyone stare wide-eyed in terror, and Chai San’s ntal defenses completely collapsed!
He never imagined that the shield he had always relied on for survival couldn’t provide any protection! Completely consud by fear, he scread desperately, losing his forr composure!
Fortunately, a Trial Taker beside him retained so sanity, swung a long sword, and directly chopped off his hand!
However, a more horrifying event occurred—the severed hand on the ground seed to beco a new lifeform, crawling like a spider, while continuously growing mutated flesh from the severed stump!
Chai San, face pale, turned to flee, but after taking just one step, mutated flesh began to surge again from his newly severed stump!
"No! Ah!!!"
Chai San fell to the ground, watching in terror as new flesh extended continuously from his wrist, his skin trembling violently in fear!
"Help , help ! Ah! I surrender! Spare !"
At his cries, the three elders laughed sinisterly as the red light from the statue behind them grew more dazzling, as if absorbing so kind of substantial nourishnt, and the eerie face of the middle man beca increasingly pleased.
The horrific scene before him was completely beyond Chu Xiu’s comprehension. With just a gesture, without any warning, without any defense chanism, death was instantaneous!
How the hell are we supposed to fight this?
"Calm down! Calm down! There must be a limitation to using this eerie thod! What is it? Is it the wound? Yes, that’s right; Chai San’s hand was burned earlier!"
Just as Chu Xiu was speculating, the Great Elder at the center pointed again at Wu Xiujie, who was attempting to flee at the end.
In the instant he was targeted, Wu Xiujie’s body froze, he clasped his throat, eyes bulging in agony!
The next mont, countless mutated flesh spurted from his mouth, tearing his body apart completely!
