“Okay, I agree.” Jian Ning took out a hundred boxes of durians from her jade pendant space and placed them on the seawater.
"This is my sincerity, what about yours?" The phantom silver fish in front of me flicked its tail and suddenly let out a sharp cry.
Immediately afterwards, two groups of silverfish swam out from the line, each group consisting of about fifty or sixty fish. Then the two leading fish swam to the vicinity of the kayak, wagged their tails, and jumped aboard.
Each fish took a bite of Jian Ning's hand, and immediately, patterns indicating a successful contract appeared on their bodies.
The two groups of silverfish in the sea also simultaneously displayed the contract pattern. It seems these fish are quite particular; at least they keep their word.
Of course, Jian Ning couldn't go back on her word, so she took out the remaining hundred boxes of durians from her space. She didn't touch the durians on the fruit trees, because her two teams of silverfish also needed to eat.
The phantom silverfish in front of them was also very happy; so much fruit would be enough for them to eat for a long time. It called out again, and the silverfish in the sea automatically grouped themselves and pushed all the boxes away.
"Come with me, I'll take you to the exit." Phantom Silverfish led the way, and Jian Ning paddled the kayak across the sea in no time, arriving at the place leading to the third checkpoint.
"Go up from here and you'll receive your reward for completing the challenge. These silver fish, you can release them back into the sea a hundred years from now. I hope you'll treat my people well," the aged voice said to Jian Ning.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely treat them well. Come on in."
Jian Ning took out a spirit beast pouch and put away all the phantom silver fish that had signed contracts.
Then he jumped onto a large, solitary rock in the sea and put the kayak into space.
With a gentle push, a stone door suddenly appeared on the large rock. Following Jian Ning's movement...
The stone door creaked open, revealing a valley filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. Jian Ning turned and waved to the phantom silver fish before striding inside.
An aged voice rang out: "Fifth Liuli, congratulations on passing the second level. You have obtained one Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma and two Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaves. The time limit for the third level is five years."
Jian Ning didn't pay any attention to the time limit for clearing the levels. All her attention was focused on the reward for the second level. Putting everything else aside, this Grade 9 Ganoderma lucidum was a good thing. If she could eat it, she would definitely be able to advance a major realm.
Three more jade boxes appeared before us; these must be the rewards for the second level.
Jian Ningye didn't open it; she simply put it away. She walked into the valley, the air filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Unidentified birds were chirping and chattering on the branches.
On the surface, the place appeared perfectly peaceful and tranquil, with no sign of danger whatsoever. However, Jian Ning dared not let her guard down for a moment.
With the Ruoshui Sword in hand and a spiritual energy shield protecting her entire body, she walked step by step, steadily, into the valley.
They had only taken a few steps when a light drizzle began to fall. The fragrance in the air grew increasingly intense. By the time Jian Ning realized something was wrong, more than half of the spiritual energy within her body had vanished.
Is it this rain or this fragrance that has the ability to corrode spiritual energy?
She quickly took out a small cauldron from her storage bracelet, enlarged it, and crawled inside.
This cauldron is also a protective magical artifact. It's exceptionally sturdy. The space inside is also quite large; three to five people can sit inside without feeling crowded.
He took out the spirit stone and held it in his hand, hoping to restore his spiritual energy, but to his surprise, it had no effect at all. This place was really strange.
She couldn't stay hidden in that cauldron forever, so she took out a disposable raincoat from her space, put it on, and then put on a mask.
I shut off my sense of smell, grabbed a rather large umbrella, opened it, and went outside.
The rain outside is noticeably heavier now. The scene is quite beautiful, but the more beautiful the place, the greater the danger.
He put the cauldron away and continued walking. This time, the loss of spiritual energy was significantly better, so it seemed that his idea was correct.
After walking a while, the scenery suddenly changed. Before my eyes stretched a vast expanse of scorched red earth; ahead lay a volcanic crater.
It was a completely different world from the valley behind us. Standing on the edge of the valley, you could feel the heat rushing towards you.
"What kind of place is this? Why don't we just come directly to the test? All this secrecy, do you think I'm here for an adventure?" Jane
Ning said with dissatisfaction, and took a step forward, feeling a heat emanating from beneath his feet.
It wasn't raining at all here, so I simply put my umbrella away. I was still wearing my raincoat, though. The weather is so unpredictable; it's better to be careful.
Jian Ning was terrified of the rain. Without spiritual energy, she was nothing and had no chance of passing the trial.
I walked carefully forward, feeling that the ground was getting hotter and hotter under my feet, and the soil was noticeably softer than before.
They became even more cautious. They walked all the way to the vicinity of the crater, and surprisingly, nothing happened.
This is rather strange. There's no hint about this level; is it testing her heat tolerance?
After looking around, all that was left was scorched earth and the volcano in front of him. He summoned the Ruoshui Sword, stepped on it, and flew up.
When we reached the crater and looked down, it was pitch black inside, and we couldn't see anything below. Needless to say, we were definitely going down there for training. Otherwise, we wouldn't have put something like this there.
Since it was just a challenge and she wouldn't die anyway, Jian Ning didn't hesitate. She cast a spiritual energy shield on herself, took out a powerful flashlight, and turned it on, illuminating the volcano crater as if it were daytime.
He swooped down on his sword without the slightest hesitation.
The crater widened as you went down, and it was bottomless. Jian Ning felt like she had flown for a very long time before finally reaching the bottom.
It was all fiery red lava, constantly churning, as if it could erupt at any moment.
Jian Ning took a kitchen knife from her spatial storage and threw it. The moment it touched the lava, it turned into liquid. Just how high was that temperature?! Startled, Jian Ning quickly rose a little higher.
I am but a mortal, and if I touch even a little lava, I will be left with scars, which would look terrible.
At this moment, the lava suddenly churned even more violently, probably because her action of throwing the kitchen knife had angered it.
The churning lava coalesced into the shape of a long whip, which lashed out at Jian Ning with a whoosh. Before the whip even reached her, the heatwave nearly knocked her off her sword.
Jian Ning quickly dodged on his sword, but unexpectedly, the magma below missed its target and instantly condensed into countless long whips, which came crashing down on him.
Good heavens, how could she possibly hide? Even if there were a gap, Jian Ning was afraid of being burned by the heatwave. There was nowhere to hide below, so she could only escape to the crater by flying on her sword.
