"Young Master Yuan, don't worry too much. I will do my best to protect you. Nothing will happen." The old priest looked at Yuan Xiangzhi, whose eyes were full of fear. Although he knew what kind of person he was, he was still embarrassed by him and his face turned red. He said comfortingly.
The other priests of the Temple of Light who were traveling with them subconsciously took a step back and turned their heads away, almost having the words "I don't know him" carved on their foreheads.
"Then I'll have to trouble Priest Zheng." Yuan Xiangzhi had probably been embarrassed too many times in front of Mu Hanyan and others, and his face had become thicker. He ignored the strange looks from others and said gratefully.
The priest in front of him was named Zheng Anze. He was the leading priest of this trial of the Temple of Light and also one of the twelve punishment priests of the Temple of Light. His strength had reached the seventh level of the Divine Heart Priest. With his promise, Yuan Xiangzhi's uneasy heart finally settled down.
Seeing the relieved look on his face, the priests following Zheng Anze were even more disdainful, and they despised the only son of the Left Priest to the extreme.
Su Baoer originally wanted to go over and say hello to them, but seeing this, she felt ashamed for Yuan Xiangzhi. She simply took two steps forward and used Mu Hanyan to block their sight. She really didn't want to be with Yuan Xiangzhi anymore.
As they got closer to the Black Wood Prison, the beast's roar became clearer and clearer, causing their eardrums to hurt slightly.
Feeling the rage in the roar, even the priests who had been trying to remain calm became extremely solemn.
"It's strange. It is said that the Black Wood Prison is closed all year round. The strange beasts living in it rarely come into contact with humans and are not very hostile to humans. As long as they are not provoked, they usually will not actively attack humans. But why are these strange beasts so furious?" A priest said puzzledly.
"Yeah, that doesn't make sense." Another priest said worriedly.
Mu Hanyan and Gao Weihu looked at each other and saw what the other was thinking: Could it be that all this is related to Zhan Yuan and Ba Feng?
Just as he was secretly guessing, he felt the strange light in front of him suddenly dissipate, his figure became lighter, and Mu Hanyan had already entered the Black Wood Prison.
"Roar! Roar!" Before Mu Hanyan could see the surrounding scene clearly, she heard a furious roar of beasts, and a large group of strange beasts were rushing towards her.
Thousands of other priests also arrived at the same time. Seeing the herd of beasts rushing towards them, everyone subconsciously drew their swords.
With waves of low chanting, thousands of priests' magic spells blasted towards the herd of beasts like a meteor shower.
Thousands of priests, most of whom are powerful men from the five upper temples, whose strength is above that of the God's Heart Priests, cast their magic at the same time, which is naturally colorful and powerful.
However, a hint of surprise flashed across Mu Hanyan's eyes. These thousands of divine figures attacking at the same time were indeed quite powerful, but the power they exerted was obviously not proportional to their cultivation level.
Take Gao Weihu next to him for example. His strength is only one step away from being a second-level Divine Heart Priest. With the blessing of the Wild Fire, his real combat power should have reached that of a fourth-level Divine Heart Priest, or even higher. But in fact, the power of that giant hammer is at most equivalent to that of a first-level Divine Heart Priest, which is one level lower than his real strength.
Su Baoer was even worse off. The Great Light Technique, which was secretly passed down by the Temple of Light, could only exert the power equivalent to that of a tenth-level divine priest.
This is true for both of them, let alone others.
Divine arts intertwined in the sky and fell like meteors, causing sand, rocks and dust to fly among the group of strange beasts. However, when the dust settled, there were very few injured strange beasts. Most of them were just frightened and stood there stupidly.
Thousands of priests were also stunned all around. Earlier, when they were still in the teleportation tunnel, they had been horrified by the sight of the strange beasts waiting outside and had long been prepared to attack. This divine art had been long-built and full of all their strength, but the final power was so weak that even they themselves could not have imagined it.
Fortunately, those strange beasts had little contact with humans and lacked experience in combat, so they did not immediately launch a second round of attack, otherwise these priests who were still in a daze would be in great danger.
"Oh no, the rules of the Blackwood Prison are too strange. Our strength is suppressed too much. Let's go!" An old priest dressed in the uniform of the Frozen Temple exclaimed and turned to run.
Behind him, the priests who had accompanied him woke up as if from a dream and followed closely behind him.
"Let's go!" Zheng Anze made a prompt decision and rushed in another direction with Yuan Xiangzhi and others.
The priests from other temples were not willing to be left behind and fled in all directions.
Although Zheng Anze had previously warned that entering the Blackwood Prison would significantly impact one's strength, he hadn't anticipated such a level of suppression. While the priests present were no fewer in number than the alien beasts, and could still manage a fight, they were new to the Prison and hadn't yet adapted to its laws. Their defenses were far inferior to those of the aliens, and a battle was bound to yield heavy casualties.
They came to the Black Wood Prison to hunt, not to be hunted by strange beasts, so there was no need to fight hard.
Mu Hanyan glanced curiously at the priests who were running like stray dogs. Although she felt that her cultivation was greatly suppressed when she first entered the Black Wood Prison, the suppression became smaller and smaller after she simply circulated her spiritual power a few times, and the impact on her strength was so small that it was almost negligible.
If these priests practiced their skills a few more times, they should be able to adapt to the strange rules of the Black Wood Prison. However, they ran away in a hurry like dogs that had lost their homes. Aren't they too impatient?
"Let's go too." Although Mu Hanyan was complaining in her heart, she still called out, and turned around and ran away with Gao Weihu and Su Baoer.
Even if her strength was not affected too much, everyone else had run away, and the few of them left would not be able to deal with this large group of strange beasts.
I had originally wanted to persuade Su Baoer to return to the Brilliance Temple team as soon as possible, but now I couldn't care less. Given the current situation, it might be safer to stay with her than with Yuan Xiangzhi, who was a complete burden.
Thousands of priests galloped across the mountains, creating a truly spectacular spectacle. However, they were clearly not as familiar with the Blackwood Prison as the alien beasts, and from time to time, some were overtaken by the beasts' innate magical powers, leaving them screaming in agony. Fortunately, each priest team was led by a powerful leader, so even if their strength was suppressed, they were not completely powerless. Thanks to their decisive actions, casualties were not severe.
However, the beasts' pursuit eventually disrupted the priests' formation. Under the threat of death, no one dared to place all their hopes on a handful of powerful individuals. Even if they were formidable, they couldn't protect all the priests. Seizing the opportunity, the priests would flee in groups of three or five toward what they considered to be safer directions.
