BXBX NOVEL Chapter 147 - Third Trial, Floating Ice River
Chapter 147: Third Trial, Floating Ice River
Lin Xuan and the others each used their own abilities to advance.
About five to six minutes later, they suddenly discovered that the falling rocks on the ground had suddenly disappeared, and the bumpy ground had also returned to normal.
The falling rocks on the tall mountains on both sides continued to fall.
Silver Fox, Black, Bai Xinghe, and the others’ surprised voices sounded from behind.
“Did the ground actually recover?” Silver Fox said in surprise.
Bai Xinghe pondered and said, “Actually, after thinking about it carefully, this is normal. If the ground doesn’t recover, the situation on the ground will become worse and worse. It will be very difficult for the people in the back to pass through the One-Line Sky.”
Black nodded in agreement. “That makes sense.”
Hearing their words, Lin Xuan also nodded slightly.
“Let’s quickly pass while the ground is flat!” Ye Yuqiu said loudly.
Xiang Tianxiu chuckled and hurriedly activated a Lightning Shield for himself, wanting to rush over in one go.
Shield Ghost, Flame Explosion, Cold Domain, and the others immediately used their own methods.
Soon, everyone passed through the One-Line Sky safely.
Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Before he could speak to the surrounding people, the fog appeared out of thin air and surrounded him.
A golden treasure chest appeared in front of him.
Lin Xuan stepped forward and opened it. A skill book immediately appeared, and the golden treasure chest disappeared.
“Seventh Realm skill, Roar. Roar and increase the attack power of yourself and all the nearby allies.”
Lin Xuan could not help but laugh. This skill was not bad. Although he could not use it, he could give it to his avatar.
For example, Shield Ghost and Brother Milk were rather suitable for this skill.
He looked at the treasure chests his avatars had opened again. They were also strange.
Poison Blade’s item was the best. It was an Eighth Realm golden rune that was suitable to be embedded into melee weapons. High-strength warriors would like this rune very much.
Li Weiguo was an Eighth Realm high-strength warrior. Lin Xuan planned to exchange this Eighth Realm golden rune with Li Weiguo after leaving the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple.
Perhaps he could exchange for what he needed.
Among the five avatars, Flame Explosion’s treasure was the most trashy. It was a teacup, and in the teacup contained fragrant black tea that could be refilled automatically.
The effect of black tea was that one could quickly fall into a deep sleep within 5 seconds after drinking it.
This thing was actually a golden item.
He could only use it when he could not sleep.
“If it were before I transmigrated, I would need this very much. However, now…” Lin Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
It seemed that the rewards for this trial were very random.
He had accidentally obtained such a thing.
At this moment, the fog dissipated.
As soon as the fog dissipated, Lin Xuan heard Xiang Tianxiu yell out happily.
“Everyone! I actually obtained a blueprint for a Seventh Realm mage set! It’s even better than the one I’m wearing now!”
Xiang Tianxiu did not hide the joy in his heart at all and even stretched out the blueprint in front of Ye Yuqiu. “Look, look at how powerful it is! How does it compare to the one on you?”
Ye Yuqiu glanced at it. “Not bad. It’s only slightly inferior.”
Xiang Tianxiu laughed loudly as if he was very smug. He took out his set blueprint and showed it off in front of Flame Explosion and Cold Domain.
Lin Xuan also looked at it with a strange expression.
Xiang Tianxiu’s mage set had seven parts, but Ye Yuqiu’s Frost Valkyrie set had nine parts.
It was actually much worse and not just slightly inferior.
It seemed that Ye Yuqiu really understood Xiang Tianxiu’s character. She could easily brush him aside.
Lin Xuan turned around again. After looking for a while, he also discovered the pattern of the One-Line Sky.
Every 30 minutes, the ground would automatically level off.
If he could accurately capture this pattern and use this time to advance quickly, he could reduce his consumption as much as possible and naturally avoid danger.
Silver Fox, Black, Bai Xinghe, Feng Zhuang, and the others also accurately grasped this opportunity and soon arrived at the empty space.
Silver Fox sat on the ground. “I’m so tired. This One-Line Heaven is really not friendly to mages.”
Xiang Tianxiu chuckled. “Senior, that’s not true. It’s only unfriendly to you. Look, I’m also a mage. Do I look tired?”
Silver Fox rolled his eyes at him and simply stopped talking.
As a senior, he could not even compare to his young junior.
The other party was like Alexander the Great.
Soon, the martial artists behind also arrived one after another. These people were not comparable to Ye Yuqiu, Xiang Tianxiu, and the others in the first group. They were more or less injured.
Some people were even worse. They directly lost an arm and a leg.
Some of them were covered in flesh and blood. Those who did not know better would think that they were meat paste.
“No, no. I’ll quit after receiving the reward.”
“I’ll give up too. The second trial is already so difficult. It wasn’t like this five years ago.”
“That’s right. Five years ago, I heard that martial artists who were only better than ordinary people were able to get to the fourth trial and obtained at least three golden items.”
The martial artists had helpless expressions. Many of them chose to give up.
Some people did not give up and wanted to take advantage of the rest time to recover and try the third trial.
After passing each trial, one could rest for at most 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, one would be forcefully thrown into the next trial.
They would not give the trial-takers a chance to cheat.
“I’ve already recovered! Everyone, I’ll leave first!”
Xiang Tianxiu was not injured after passing the One-Line Sky. He recovered to his peak state in a few minutes and immediately entered the third trial.
Lin Xuan also pretended to be recovering. Soon, he also entered the third trial.
The third trial was the same as the one five years ago.
A vast river about 500 meters wide.
On the river were large and small floating ice.
What the cultivators needed to do was to reach the other side.
The solution was already placed in front of the cultivators, which was to step on these floating ice.
Lin Xuan had just arrived when he heard Xiang Tianxiu mutter, “Damn, this trial is not too friendly to me.”
The third trial, the Floating Ice River.
Ice mages or people who had mastered ice skills could all shine in this trial.
The others could only slowly cross the river bitterly.
Cold Domain still maintained his persona and did not show any emotions. He came to the river and casually chose an ice floe under Xiang Tianxiu’s envious gaze. He used ice magic to strengthen it before stepping on it.
Along the way, he continued to strengthen the floating ice under his feet with spells and continued forward.
On the way, a small vortex suddenly appeared on the river. Cold Domain instinctively felt that something was wrong and immediately used its ice magic to strengthen the floating ice a meter away as a backup.
Indeed, in less than three seconds, a cold hand stretched out from the small vortex as it tried to shatter the floating ice under Cold Domain’s feet.
Cold Domain frowned slightly and quickly walked onto the new floating ice.
As expected, the floating ice he was standing on just now was struck until it lost its balance. Although it did not completely shatter, the area was reduced by more than half!
However, thanks to this, Cold Domain quickly pulled away from the cold hand. Then, with the help of the river water, he arrived on the other side in a few minutes.
Seeing that there was no one survivor on the river, the cold hand hid and did not continue to attack.
The appearance of that cold hand shocked everyone.
Xiang Tianxiu was shocked. “What the hell is that?! I can’t see its information with my Observer skill.”
Ye Yuqiu frowned slightly. “This thing didn’t appear in the records five years ago.”
Black stopped drinking and said solemnly, “In the records from five years ago, there were no piranhas in the Gale Bridge, and there were no metal or elemental rocks in the One-Line Sky.”
Flame Explosion slowly said, “This all shows that the difficulty this time has increased greatly.”
Lin Xuan was even more surprised.
It was fine if Xiang Tianxiu could not see the information with his Observer skill.
Even Lin Xuan could not see any information despite having the High-Level Observer skill!
Clearly, this was a part of the trial and the trial had its own rules.
Xiang Tianxiu shouted, “Cold Domain! You’ve already passed. Can you tell us how fast the river is flowing?”
Cold Domain stopped and said indifferently, “The flow of the river is rapid, and the speed on both sides is relatively slow.”
“Also, before the cold hand appears, small vortexes will appear on the river. That’s a sign.”
With that said, he directly left the third trial and headed to the empty space to rest.
Ye Yuqiu smiled and said, “Cold Domain looks cold, but he’s actually quite a good person.”
Xiang Tianxiu nodded. “This Cold Domain is indeed capable!”
Everyone used their own methods to cross the river.
Ye Yuqiu’s method was similar to Cold Domain’s. After all, she also had many ice skills. However, their cooldowns were not as fast as Cold Domain’s, and the magic consumption of her skills was also higher. Therefore, it took a long time for her to release each skill.
If anything went wrong, she could easily fall into the river.
Lin Xuan did not need to think to know that there was something strange about this river.
If he fell in, he might not be able to get out.
As Lin Xuan and the others crossed the river, the martial artists behind had already caught up.
A martial artist with relatively high Agility jumped back and forth between the floating ice. His speed was actually faster than Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan glanced at this person. This guy was the one who had tried to hide behind Shield Ghost on the Gale Bridge. After that, he even shamelessly asked Brother Milk to use a recovery skill on him.
This person quickly surpassed Lin Xuan and was about to catch up to Shield Ghost.
Under Lin Xuan’s control, Shield Ghost was not as fast as Poison Blade.
This person passed by Shield Ghost and snorted. “Previously, you were unwilling to help me on the Gale Bridge. Now, you’re so slow. Serves you right! No one will help you!”
He did not notice that a small vortex had appeared in front of him.
A large cold hand had already quietly stretched out.
As soon as the other party finished speaking, the floating ice under his feet was slapped fiercely by a cold hand!
The martial artist shouted and was about to jump onto the nearby ice floe.
However, before he could jump, the cold hand suddenly stretched out from the river and grabbed his ankle tightly.
This martial artist did not even have the time to react. With a tragic cry, he was directly dragged into the river, and his body gradually disappeared.
The martial artists on the riverbank all felt their scalps tingle.
Five years ago, there was nothing in the river!
What kind of demon was this?!
Crash.
After this martial artist was dragged into the river, there seemed to be a fight under the river.
As a result, ripples appeared on the river.
More and more small vortexes appeared.
The other martial artists all swallowed in unison.
Damn.
There were so many!
“There’s no way out. I’ll bite the bullet and charge forward!” Feng Zhuang gritted his teeth. He also wanted to take a gamble. He did not expect the difficulty of the Floating Ice River to increase so much.
