Yan Lin touched his nose, realizing that he had indeed been overthinking things.
The two walked deeper into a deserted path, encountering several hidden blue pythons along the way.
Although the Azure-Patterned Python Clan sounds more intimidating and far more noble than the Rat Clan or Rabbit Clan, in reality, the Azure-Patterned Pythons are not much bigger than earthworms.
Most of the time, the Azure Pythons maintain a very small snake shape, which not only makes them easy to hide but also easy to gather intelligence. Therefore, the Azure Python clan's intelligence is second only to the Ant Clan and the Rat Clan.
During this assessment, the Silver Dragon Clan Chief required all the Azure Pythons to maintain their serpentine form and hide in the sacred ground. Some of the Azure Pythons were also protected by various trapping and illusion arrays, which put many prodigies in a difficult situation. Only then did everyone understand what the Silver Dragon Clan Chief meant by "it's not that simple."
But this is not difficult for Dongfang Mian, after all, she is human, has the blessing of supreme bloodline, and has mastered god-level skills of various attributes.
Divine beasts do not possess various attribute skills. The only way for them to obtain the badge from the Azure Python is through their cultivation strength. However, the Azure Python is simply too short. Some Azure Pythons would simply burrow into the ground and run away when they saw a divine beast approaching.
After several failed attempts, the prodigies of the four clans finally realized something was wrong. If the Azure-Patterned Pythons were to run away at the sight of people like this, then out of their 120 people, not even 20, let alone 100, might be able to get through.
Soon, some prodigies discovered that the Azure-Patterned Python trapped by the trapping and illusion arrays could not escape. After breaking the illusion array or trapping array, the Azure-Patterned Python would automatically hand over the badge on its body.
This discovery instantly invigorated the spirits of the divine beasts, who charged towards the traps and illusions with renewed vigor.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Mian also noticed something was wrong. Although the Azure Python ran fast, she could catch it even faster. Once the Vine Entangling skill was activated, no matter how fast the Azure Python ran, it could not escape the fate of being bound.
However, Dongfang Mian discovered that these sparsely scattered and wandering pythons did not have any pass badges on them.
Later, after capturing another blue-striped python, Dongfang Mian, who remained tight-lipped, gave it a merciless beating and threatened to cut it in two to see if it would survive like an earthworm.
The Azure-Patterned Python shuddered and then honestly confessed that the badges were all on the trapped Azure-Patterned Pythons, and that these were merely used to create confusion.
Dongfang Mian nodded knowingly, then raised her hand to let him go. As the blue-patterned python ran, it thought to itself that it would definitely give Dongfang Mian a good accusation once it got out.
Regardless of what Cangwen Mang thinks, Dongfang Mian's most important task right now is to ensure that his side has four badges so that everyone can smoothly enter the next level.
Dongfang Mian led Yan Lin back. She had glanced at it a few times before and saw several obvious trapping formations on the main road. Presumably, most of the formations were set up on that main road.
After returning to the main road, several prodigies from the four races entered most of the trapped formations. Dongfang Mian thought for a moment and decided not to compete with them but to continue forward.
After all, both of them had taken the Yi Mai Pill to disguise themselves as divine beasts. Without being able to use their attribute skills in front of these divine beasts, Dongfang Mian was not sure if she could defeat the four races' prodigies present.
Dongfang Mian and Yan Lin quickened their pace and walked forward. After passing one formation after another, they finally found a formation of moderate size in a relatively remote place. There was only one prodigy in this formation, who was now shaking his head and retreating.
