128: Chapter 128 Using Hubei to Kill

When Ye Yisong discovered the Giant Crocodile, it gave him quite a shock; this round of the trial was too exciting!

It was one thing for the arena trial to turn into a scene blind box challenge, but now, even a Grade 4 Demonic Beast had appeared in the trial. How could this still be considered a trial? Wasn't this murder?

If not for the fact that Ye Yisong's strength had greatly increased over the past two months and he was confident he could withstand a blow or two, he would have crushed his admission ticket and fled this place long ago.

As for fighting a Grade 4 Demonic Beast, forget it!

Ye Yisong's Nine-Colored Green Lotus was imbued with red light, and its attack power had indeed reached the threshold of a Martial Ancestor, but every attack from the Grade 4 Demonic Beast was also at the level of a Martial Ancestor's strike.

If Ye Yisong were to take even a few attacks from the Giant Crocodile, he would likely be finished.

However, Ye Yisong guessed that the rules for this scene challenge must still have many unfixed loopholes; for instance, wanting to be teleported out might require a relatively stable environment, and one could not be teleported while under attack.

Although this was just Ye Yisong's guess, he did not want to risk trying it out.

Right now, Ye Yisong did not have the two great experts, Ye Xiaosan and Ye Xiaowu, by his side to protect his safety, so it was better not to attempt any dangerous behavior lightly.

A Grade 4 Demonic Beast was a fatal existence to a Nine-Star Martial Master like him, let alone the other four.

If this Grade 4 Demonic Beast were utilized well, Ye Yisong wouldn't even need to make a move; Wei Jiaxing, Wei Jiadi, and Wang Xianzhu would all lose their lives in this trial.

Moreover, he could take the opportunity to explore the various hidden rules of the scene challenge after the Prefecture Examination reform and verify the conjectures in his heart.

What Ye Yisong did not know was that while he was dodging the sneak attacks of the Giant Crocodile, the other four had grasped a piece of information that was very unfavorable to him.

"Look!" Wang Xianzhu had somehow already converged with the two members of the Wei Family and was currently displaying his admission ticket to Wei Jiaxing and Wei Jiadi.

When Wei Jiaxing and Wei Jiadi saw that the previously blank back of Wang Xianzhu's admission ticket now displayed a topographical map of mountains and rivers, and that there was a red dot flickering on it, they were stunned.

The two immediately took out their own admission tickets and flipped them over, discovering that they were exactly the same as Wang Xianzhu's.

"On the way here, I already made a preliminary comparison with the mountains and terrain marked on the map; this map should depict the pocket dimension we are currently in," Wang Xianzhu said, sharing his discovery. "I just don't know what this constantly flickering red dot represents?"

"The Great Master who designed this scene challenge has finally done something useful," Wei Jiaxing remarked while looking at the map in his hand.

"Have you noticed that this red dot is rapidly approaching us?" Wei Jiadi said to the other two after comparing it with the surrounding terrain.

According to the map, the scene they were transported to this time was a vast lake area, with only a small piece of land in the north, which was the place they were currently occupying.

After being reminded by Wei Jiadi, the other two also discovered this problem, and their hearts could not help but become nervous; could the red dot be marking the big BOSS of this scene?

"I think this red dot either shows Ye Yisong's location, or it is a huge danger we need to avoid in this scene trial," Wei Jiadi analyzed.

"I think so too," Wang Xianzhu agreed. "I am more inclined to believe that it is showing Ye Yisong's location. Among the five of us, Ye Yisong has the strongest strength, and it is a gap-widening strength at that; this might be our only hope to defeat Ye Yisong."

"The red dot is getting closer and closer to us," Wei Jiaxing warned. "Should we hide? Whether it is Ye Yisong or something else, it is not something we can withstand."

"Let's go there," Wei Jiadi pointed to a peak not far away. Standing high would allow them to see far, and they would be able to see exactly what the red dot represented at the first opportunity.

"Good," Wei Jiaxing and Wang Xianzhu agreed.

"Damn it, why are the three of them coming this way?" Ye Jiewang's back was already completely soaked, though he did not realize it.

Originally, Ye Jiewang had been hiding on the peak, quietly watching the few people down in the valley, secretly rejoicing that he had occupied a good position.

Before he could be happy for too long, his lair was about to be raided.

Ye Jiewang did not dare to delay and hurriedly retreated to the other side of the peak; if he were to encounter these three alone, he would likely be the first of the five to be eliminated.

Finding a hollow on the back side of the mountain, Ye Jiewang buried himself inside. A Martial Master's Mental Energy had not been tempered by the Lightning Tribulation and was not yet strong; as long as Ye Jiewang practiced turtle-breathing and did not use his Spiritual Qi, Wei Jiadi and the other two would not be able to find him for a while.

Wei Jiadi and the other two, relying on their cultivation, climbed to the highest peak without any effort, looked down, and quietly waited for the result.

When Ye Yisong's feet touched the land, the breath of frustration in his heart was finally released.

On the run, Ye Yisong had been trying to contact Ye Jiewang using a Talisman, but the Talisman had no reaction at all; it was probably ineffective here.

Ye Yisong was not counting on Ye Jiewang to be of any help; he mainly wanted to remind him that a Grade 4 Demonic Beast was active in this trial and to let him proceed with caution.

It would be best to withdraw early; if Ye Jiewang were to encounter the Grade 4 Demonic Beast, Ye Yisong would not be able to protect him.

Looking around, Ye Yisong immediately took a fancy to the peak not far ahead; this peak was the highest in the vicinity and a good place to observe the surroundings.

"The red dot really marked Ye Yisong," Wei Jiadi's pupils shrank. Did even the System consider Ye Yisong the greatest threat?

"He is coming towards us," Wei Jiaxing said, his face deathly pale with fear.

"What are you panicking about?" Wei Jiadi glared at Wei Jiaxing; this cousin was old enough, yet still so unbearable, truly disgracing the Wei Family. "Hide. When he comes up, the three of us might just be able to defeat him."

"We..." Wei Jiaxing wanted to say something out of worry, but was frightened by his cousin's gaze and swallowed the rest of his words.

Let alone Wei Jiaxing, even Wang Xianzhu was full of worry; a Nine-Star Martial Master was not someone they could resist. Three against one?

Hopefully it won't be a case of one tiger killing three pigs!

"What are you afraid of? If we can't beat him, at worst we can just crush our admission tickets, and we will naturally be teleported away from this place," Wei Jiadi raised the admission ticket in his hand, providing a little confidence to the two who had been scared out of their wits.

"That's right, we still have our admission tickets," Wei Jiaxing encouraged himself.

Ye Yisong stopped at the foot of the mountain, looked back at the Giant Crocodile following him without leaving a trace, and whispered: "I don't know if you will like this big gift."

If the three from the Wei Family and Wang Family wanted to prepare something, this peak was the best choice; it was high enough, steep enough, and dangerous enough.

It was just a question of whether it could stop a Grade 4 Demonic Beast.
