Chapter 625 - 625: Sage (1)
Everyone stared at the noticeboard in front of them with solemn expressions. The uniqueness of this area made it impossible for them to turn back. They could only head to the Holy Land. However, there was only one path to the Holy Land, and there was no way to take a detour.
This was very troublesome.
“How many exclusive items do you guys have?” Chu Tong asked in a low voice.
Although it seemed like there was no hope of passing this checkpoint, they could only continue forward no matter what. Now, they had more people. If they used all their exclusive items, perhaps there was still some hope. After all, their exclusive items could affect Sages.
However, when passing the third level, most people had used the exclusive items accumulated from the first two levels. Currently, they do not have many exclusive items on hand.
Just as everyone’s hearts were heavy, Xiao Shi, who had been silent, suddenly said, “I think the situation might not be as bad as we think.” As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s gazes focused on him. “1 don’t think any Sage would put up such a noticeboard outside their domain to warn everyone. This is unreasonable in itself.” Xiao Shi said calmly.
“You mean,” Everyone was deep in thought. With the status of a Sage, it was indeed unlikely for him to set up a noticeboard outside his domain.
“I feel that such a method is actually an act of deceiving oneself.” Xiao Shi voiced his opinion. The purpose of this notice board seemed to be to warn everyone. Xiao Shi felt that its true intention was instead worried that they would enter this area.
Everyone knew that. Sages were usually invincible existences in their domain. There was no need to put up such a notice board to warn them. Many people nodded in agreement. This was indeed a little like burying one’s head in the sand.
“Then what do you think will happen in this domain?” Chu Tong looked at Xiao Shi seriously, as if he regarded Xiao Shi as the brain of them.
Xiao Shi shook his head. “Currently, we have too little information and can’t deduce the situation inside. However, 1 think… even if this level is relatively difficult, it’s not to the extent that we can’t clear it. Even if there are really Sages inside, they won’t be invincible Sages in their own domain under normal circumstances.”
In fact, Xiao Shi still had a guess in his heart. But because he couldn’t be sure, he did not say it out loud. However, his words had already won everyone’s approval.
Chu Tong thought for a moment. He said, “I agree with you. No matter what, we can only enter this round. There’s no way out.” As he spoke, he looked at the three Martial Demon Realm experts from the three domains. “The three of you, walk in front.”
The three Martial Demon Realm experts from the three domains were stunned. Anger appeared on their faces. They realized that the other party clearly wanted them to be the pawns to scout the way next. As a Martial Demon Realm expert, they were already big shots in the three great domains. Now, they were being used as scouts. To them, this was a huge humiliation.
Moreover, this domain was not as difficult as they had imagined. But it would not be simple. Once they encountered any danger inside, they would definitely be in the most danger.
They were all very angry and resistant. However, under Chu Tong’s threatening gaze, they could only grit their teeth and compromise.
The group of them passed through the signboard and began to enter the domain ahead. Because each of them controlled an Iron Refined Corpse, they stood closer to them. If anything went wrong, they would let the Iron Refined Corpse attack immediately.
After the previous speech, Xiao Shi had obtained Chu Tong’s favor and was arranged to sit closest to him. As they entered this domain, everyone realized that the trees in this domain were clearly taller than the trees outside.
Not only that, a huge and dense mouth actually appeared on these trees. Its mouth was filled with fine and sharp teeth, and there was poison on them. A pitch-black vertical pupil with an evil aura opened on this huge mouth. It stared coldly at everyone with strong hostility.
The trees in this domain were not ordinary trees. While they had intelligence, they also carried a certain threat. However, they seemed to be unable to take the initiative to attack. As long as they did not approach, there would be no danger. This allowed everyone to maintain a certain distance from these trees as they advanced. This could prevent them from attacking.
Xiao Shi advanced. Apart from constantly observing the surrounding trees, he would also look up at the sky from time to time. He was even more certain of his previous guess now.
“What do you think?” Chu Tong looked at Xiao Shi. The others also listened attentively.
“These trees here are quite hostile to us. They want to eat us alive, but because they can’t move, they can’t do anything. If I’m not wrong, these trees can move under normal circumstances. The reason why they can’t move now is because they’ve been suppressed by a powerful force..”
