Everyone's heart tightened upon seeing this...
"I will teleport you to a space. You only need to collect what I need within three months, and then you can leave."
As the Dragon King's voice faded, everyone's vision blurred, and they found that the surrounding scenery had completely changed.
They are now in a lush, green area.
There are many trees and strangely shaped rocks around. Moreover, the trees here are all very tall, and from a distance they look like small hills.
Everyone looked around at the surroundings and was amazed, but they also knew that now was not the time to admire the scenery.
"What you need to do now is gather what I need, and then leave this place."
The Dragon King's voice rang out from the sky.
"Then what does His Majesty the Dragon King require us to collect?"
One of them stepped forward and asked respectfully.
"It's simple to say, but difficult to say... In short, I need three things: water without roots, flesh and blood without bones, and soil without life."
The Dragon King explained calmly.
"Water without roots?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words uttered by the Dragon King.
How come they've never heard of such a thing?
What about boneless flesh and blood, and lifeless soil?
They had never even heard of these things, so how were they supposed to collect them?
Everyone looked at the Dragon King with suspicion, waiting for him to continue his story.
"Water without roots is the most precious water source in the world. It is said that only water from a spring without roots can be produced. Boneless flesh and blood is the hardest bone in the world. Its hardness is such that even a piece of iron may not be able to break it. It is also one of the few things in the world that can rival water without roots."
The Dragon King continued slowly, a hint of anticipation appearing on his face as he spoke.
"As for the Soil of No Life, this soil is soil that fell from the Divine Tree of No Life. Its hardness is such that even if you cut it with a sword, it would be difficult to damage it in the slightest. It is only because this kind of soil is so difficult to find that it is so precious."
At this point, the Dragon King's gaze swept over the crowd.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They also realized the difficulty of this trial...
"Alright, I've explained everything I needed to. Now it's up to you to take action!"
The Dragon King said calmly, and then he disappeared.
As the Dragon King departed, a strange sense of oppression rose in everyone's hearts.
"What do we do now?"
One of them looked at the people around him.
"This test sounds impossible; the Dragon King has no intention of letting us go!"
The other person frowned.
"Then what should we do?"
Upon hearing this person's words, everyone asked questions.
"No matter how difficult it is, we have no choice but to keep looking and see if we can find a glimmer of hope."
The man who spoke first said.
Upon hearing this, everyone else nodded in agreement.
The group began searching their surroundings.
"Hey? Look over there!"
At that moment, one of them suddenly shouted.
Hearing the sound, everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.
In a certain part of the forest, there was a huge rock that was emitting a faint green light.
"Go and take a look!"
The man shouted excitedly.
Upon hearing this, everyone was extremely excited.
They rushed toward the boulder...
Upon reaching the edge of the boulder, the group discovered that it was covered in moss, and around it was a thin layer of dust, which was covered by leaves.
Clearly, something is hidden in this place!
"Quick, let's dig!"
Everyone got up and prepared to dig.
However, just as everyone was about to dig, a strange laugh suddenly rang in their ears, and everyone shuddered upon hearing it.
As everyone looked up, they saw several dark, shadowy things floating above them.
Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that behind the several black monsters, there were also several white monsters, staring at them with sinister and terrifying eyes.
What are these things?
Everyone was terrified and quickly retreated.
However, while retreating, one person suddenly fell to the ground, and the others were all tripped and fell to the ground.
Just then, more than a dozen black monsters fell from above. These monsters were covered in black scales, had bloodshot eyes, two rows of sharp fangs on their heads, and their tails swayed like snakes, making them look extremely terrifying.
Suddenly, the black monsters swooped down and pounced on the people on the ground.
"We are all spiritual practitioners, so don't be afraid. The most important thing now is to unite and defeat them!"
"We can't afford to give up at the very beginning!"
"We are now ready to fight!"
At this moment, the group finally came to their senses, stood up, and prepared to meet the impending attack.
Many of these people are already at the Spirit King realm. Although their strength is still relatively low, they are still able to protect themselves. With their years of cultivation experience, dealing with these few strange black monsters should be more than enough.
However, these monsters are enormous and extremely fast when spiritual energy is abundant. If they are surrounded by them, they will surely die. Therefore, they have no choice but to temporarily join forces to resist the monsters' attack.
