Mo Shuwan took a deep breath, suppressing her discomfort, and stepped onto the last teleportation array. Soon, their figures disappeared from the teleportation array in the second fortress.
Mo Shuwan collapsed to the ground almost immediately after emerging from the teleportation array. Staring at the ceiling, she gasped for breath and couldn't get up for a long time. Although she couldn't stand up, she could immediately feel the murderous aura emanating from the fortress. A chill crept up her back, and for a moment, Mo Shuwan even felt that this aura alone could kill her.
The soldier who was clearly the leader of the ten soldiers could no longer contain himself and roared, "Get up! This fortress is not a place for you to play around!"
Mo Shuwan said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to get up, it's that I can't. Could you please give me a bottle of recovery potion? Thank you."
Unexpectedly, Mo Shuwan dared to make demands. The young man's forehead veins bulged, and he was about to get angry. But suddenly a tall figure appeared in his line of sight. Shocked, he quickly stepped aside and stood with the soldiers, respectfully giving a standard military salute to the man who walked in.
"City Lord!"
The man nodded to them, walked to Mo Shuwan's side, looked her up and down for a moment, and then his gaze finally fell on the silver bow and black arrows in her hand. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Are you Song Yu's chosen successor?"
Mo Shuwan didn't know who Song Yu was, but she thought of the cloaked man and guessed that this must be the cloaked man's name.
"I don't know if I am or not."
The man smiled and said nothing more. He turned to the ten soldiers standing respectfully beside him and instructed them, "Send her to the trial site as quickly as possible."
"Yes!" The ten men shouted in unison. After watching the city lord leave with reverence, they prepared to escort Mo Shuwan to the trial site. But they were stunned for a moment and looked at Mo Shuwan with incredulous eyes. "This... we have never had such a precedent before."
"Since the city lord has given such an order, there must be a reason for it. We just need to do as he says."
Lying on the ground, Mo Shuwan noticed that the group's attitude towards her had become even more bizarre. She felt somewhat helpless, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she could guess the reason for their bad attitude towards her: they simply looked down on her because she was too weak.
Fortunately, this time they finally gave Mo Shuwan the medicine to restore her strength.
After drinking the potion, Mo Shuwan recovered slightly, but the life force that had been devoured by the dark power had not yet been restored. She was still as thin as a rake, and when she walked out of the teleportation array with them, she could immediately feel the gazes coming from all directions.
Of course, those gazes disappeared in an instant, and Mo Shuwan was not able to stay in the fortress for long. If it weren't for the trial, she would never have been able to come to this fortress.
At the headquarters of Time Bus, everyone couldn't help but feel tense when they saw Mo Shuwan finally heading to the trial site with the soldiers.
"I hope she can live up to expectations and not embarrass Mr. Song!!!"
"I think it's unlikely..."
Mo Shuwan's performance along the way had been so poor that they couldn't have any confidence in her at all. The thought that she might not even survive if she failed, the disappointment on Mr. Song's face, and the reactions of those who were hostile to Mr. Song made them sigh involuntarily.
Meanwhile, some of the passengers watching in the square where the competition was held laughed mockingly. Some even believed that Mo Shuwan had failed and turned away, not intending to see the outcome with their own eyes.
"This time, my little cutie is probably in grave danger."
I don't think so.
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at his older brother with disbelief. "Didn't you always say that Little Cutie was weak? How come you suddenly have so much confidence in her now?"
"The past is the past, the present is the present."
Lin Yu wanted to say a few more words, but on the screen, Mo Shuwan had already arrived at the trial location, which was a huge valley. The black demons inside seemed to sense someone's arrival and all raised their heads.
"Hehehe, another meat delivery has arrived."
"Brothers, save some for me this time. I didn't even get a single bite of that guy last time!"
"Come on, this little girl doesn't look like she's made of any meat. If we save her for you, what will we eat?"
They didn't lower their voices; in fact, they mischievously increased their volume so that Mo Shuwan and the others above the valley could hear them clearly.
Mo Shuwan silently looked at the horns on their foreheads, and breathed a sigh of relief. If the next opponent was this guy, then she wouldn't be worried. After all, the arrow she had condensed with only a little dark power last time had already unleashed terrifying power, and this arrow would be no weaker.
"Your mission is to survive in their clutches. If you are still alive by midnight, we will send you back."
After saying this, a hint of guilt appeared on the young man's face. In fact, the city lord had instructed them to protect this guy's life after he left. They had been thinking about the city lord's intentions all the way, but in the end, they could only conclude that there was some kind of deal between the city lord and Mr. Song.
Mo Shuwan peered down into the valley and suddenly asked, "Survive in their hands? Is there any other option?"
The young man snorted coldly, "As long as you can kill them all, you will have completed the trial."
"good."
Hearing that Mo Shuwan actually agreed, the young man frowned. Just as he was about to reprimand her for underestimating the invaders from beyond the borders, he saw her take two steps forward, point the bow at the valley below, and suddenly loosen her fingers, which she hadn't let go of all the way.
