Chapter 64: Forced Killing
Zhang Yang and Wu Yuan were guarding a rocky hill. Not far away stood a 'Gai' wearing a warthog mask, at least in appearance, he looked very similar.
That was the prop that Guy used to lure the Sabretooth King. It was stained with his blood and a conch horn with a strange flame pattern painted on it. With this thing, he would definitely be able to lure the Sabretooth King.
These are Guy’s exact words.
"Village chief, are you sure you want to let that guy go? I bet that even if we kill this saber-toothed tiger king, he won't stay here and wait for us. This guy is more cunning than a fox."
"We can't make things complicated. To be honest, if it weren't for the purpose of sealing the fire spirit, I wouldn't even want to waste time killing this saber-toothed tiger king. The most urgent task now is that we must complete the trial as soon as possible and return to the village."
Zhang Yang said calmly. He had not told Wu Yuan some of his guesses, because he doubted that there would be other trial participants in this movie world, just like Gai's parents. Who taught them Mandarin? It couldn't be a time traveler.
So the water here is very deep, there is no need to get involved, just complete the trial quickly and leave.
“Ouch!”
Suddenly, a huge roar came from a very far place, and the saber-toothed tiger king was really attracted again.
Even though he couldn't see any shadow, Zhang Yang felt that the atmosphere of the whole world had changed, as if the sky was originally clear, but was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
What a terrifying murderous aura!
At this time Zhang Yang turned around and ran without saying a word. He had already experienced the power of the murderous aura erupting from Wu Yuan, and knew how abnormal this kind of close combat that simply strengthened physical strength was, so he didn't expect to be of any help, just not to be a drag.
He ran several hundred meters in one breath and hid behind a big rock. Then Zhang Yang looked out.
There was no sign of the saber-toothed tiger king yet, but Wu Yuan had already roared towards the sky. The same terrifying murderous aura burst out and condensed onto the heroic spear. The sharp aura was so real that it seemed to poke a big hole in the sky.
Obviously, Wu Yuan himself is not that powerful. It is his own strength plus the top-grade magic weapon that produce such an effect.
"good!"
Zhang Yang cried out secretly. Even though he was an amateur, he could feel it at this moment, because the terrifying pressure brought by the saber-toothed tiger king had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Ouch!”
There was another roar in the distance, and the saber-toothed tiger king seemed to feel some pressure. Then Zhang Yang finally saw its shadow. It was not running fast, but coming in a straight line. It seemed a little hesitant, but finally sped up.
In just a few seconds, it turned into an afterimage in the field of vision, which could not be captured at all, and the sound of violent wind began to be heard from the distance.
But what came faster than the strong wind was a vast, unruly, wild and brutal aura. In just a moment, all the hairs on Zhang Yang's body stood on end and his heart beat violently uncontrollably. This was because his keen talent was affected by the dangerous aura, and then in this way it told him that it was extremely dangerous and he should run away quickly.
Of course Zhang Yang couldn't run away. He could only hide behind the boulder desperately, not even daring to stick his head out to look. At this moment, he seemed to be facing a huge terror. Even though he tried his best to control himself, the sensory changes brought about by adrenaline almost made him collapse.
It was so terrifying! Almost when Zhang Yang couldn't hold on any longer, he finally heard the sound of a spear breaking through the void. Or maybe it wasn't just the sound of air whistling, because he instantly sensed the bloody sea and corpses everywhere, and also the scene of thousands of armies fighting each other in the endless wilderness.
He even had a vision of rumbling drums and marauding cavalry.
It was too horrible. Fortunately, Zhang Yang was still able to keep his mind clear. He realized something was wrong and immediately activated the soul force field, compressing it to the critical point of materialization to protect himself. Only then did he clear all the illusions.
Letting out a long breath, Zhang Yang, regardless of the fact that he was sweating profusely, quickly leaned over to take a look, only to see that the man and the tiger were still confronting each other, more than a hundred meters apart.
Damn, who is the close combat and who is the long-range combat? This kind of murderous confrontation is almost comparable to the flying sword battle between immortal cultivators.
Just as he thought of this, Zhang Yang suddenly felt a huge suction force in front of him, like an invisible black hole, which almost made him lose his mind again.
When he came to his senses, he saw a ray of starlight. Wu Yuan, including the spear, launched the attack with a lightning charge. Because the speed was too fast, or because of the terrible amplification brought by the heroic spear, the scene seen in the distance was like this.
Even people can't be seen.
Of course, this is more likely because their murderous auras overlapped with each other, forming a more complex force field, so -
"boom!"
It was like a fuel-air bomb. First there was an intense light, then a thunder-like sound, and finally smoke and dust were stirred up in all directions and turned into a huge mushroom cloud.
Zhang Yang was almost blinded by the light at that moment.
For a few seconds he could see nothing.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that everything had returned to normal. The murderous aura was gone, and the extraordinary phenomena were gone. The heroic spear in Wu Yuan's hand had disappeared. The whole person was like an eighty-year-old man, spitting blood and coughing violently, holding his chest, as if he was injured.
The majestic saber-toothed tiger king on the opposite side still maintained a fierce attacking posture, but a long spear pierced through the tiger's mouth and came out from the back, it was so tragic.
Wait, dead? The battle is over? This is not right. When two powerful men meet on a narrow road, shouldn't they fight for 300 rounds? I haven't seen you dodging and moving around, using your ultimate moves.
This is the result of the final battle that has been brewing for so long.
I want to refund the ticket, no, I want to tear it up! But before Zhang Yang finished complaining, messages popped up like snowflakes.
"Your soldier Wu Yuan successfully killed a legendary beast in the nightmare-level trial."
"You have successfully captured a 300-year-old human ancestor spirit. You can sell it."
"You have successfully obtained a white-quality fragment of hope."
"You have successfully obtained the spirit of a broken beast."
"Do you want to upgrade your soldiers to heroes? Friendly reminder, your soldiers still need to kill a legendary beast before they can get the rewards of the nightmare level trial. If they upgrade now, they can only get the rewards of the horror level trial."
Zhang Yang didn't even bother to look at him, he jumped off the rock and rushed over like crazy, because compared to the reward, he was more worried about Wu Yuan's injury.
"Wu Yuan, are you okay?"
When he rushed closer, Zhang Yang was shocked to see three huge cuts on Wu Yuan's chest and stomach, with his internal organs faintly visible. With Wu Yuan's strong body, an ordinary person would have been dead, but even so, he would not live long.
There is no doubt that Wu Yuan knew very well that he was still no match for the saber-toothed tiger king, so he chose the simplest method, which was to use the special features of the hero's spear and engage in the simplest life-and-death battle!
"Sir, Wu Yuan, I have accomplished your mission."
Wu Yuan was still laughing, and Zhang Yang was almost going crazy. Without saying a word, he took out the white fragment of hope and placed it on Wu Yuan.
"I want to control his injuries to the greatest extent possible."
"I want him to advance immediately!"
"The soldier is being promoted. Since the trial level is Horror Level, the soldier will be given a two-star hero template."
"The soldier has fallen into a coma and is unable to make a choice. Please choose for him."
"A: Barbarian King template, fit 85%, strength B+, agility C+, defense B+, soul D+, gain the talent burning, great strength, gain the additional skills war roar, wild collision, gain the heroic aura sweeping thousands of troops (specific effect is that the strength gain of the team led by the leader is increased by one level, up to 100 people)."
"B: Spearman King template, fit 98%, strength B+, agility B+, defense C+, soul C-, gain the talent Great Strength, Critical Hit, gain the additional skill Battle of All Directions, gain the enhanced skill Soul Breaking Thorn, gain the heroic aura Shaking Like Thunder (specific effect: the attack power of the soldiers in the team you lead is increased by 10%, capped at 100 people)."
"C: Shield King Template, fit 89%, strength B+, agility C+, defense B+, soul D+, obtain the talent Giant Strength, Iron Wall, obtain the additional skills Heaven and Earth Double, Flying Cloud Shield, obtain the heroic aura to defend like a mountain (the specific effect is that the defense attribute of the soldiers in the team led by you will be increased by one level, with a maximum of 100 people)"
——
"I choose the King of Spears template."
Zhang Yang didn't think too much about it, because Wu Yuan had always been a spearman, which could be seen from the fact that the degree of compatibility was as high as 98%.
However, the high degree of fit between the other two templates is enough to prove Wu Yuan's growth potential.
It’s a pity that this trial was too rushed and I couldn’t leave the village for a long time, so there was no way to complete the nightmare-level trial. Otherwise, Wu Yuan would have been able to obtain the three-star hero template.
In an instant, a white light enveloped Wu Yuan. Through the white light, one could see his injuries healing quickly, and then nothing could be seen.
