The Miracle Throne
Chapter 172
They simply could not see the other side of the stone bridge!
They knew the bridge was dangerous, but they had no choice but to move forward because other than this, there was no other way for them to leave.
We can't go back anyway. I don't want to be turned into a meat patty by those giants! Nangong Yun had a disposition that was never afraid of challenges, and he boldly walked onto the bridge. “Come go! I will lead the way!
“Wait a minute!” Chu Tian stood in front of the bridge and inspected it, There is a problem with that bridge. Problems will arise if you walk on it carelessly.
That extremely strong armored giant and the rapidly growing cyclop were all fine!
But is this bridge not a problem? Isn't that a big joke!
If Chu Tian said there was a problem, there would definitely be a problem! Everyone stopped moving to look around. The stone bridge was very small compared to the black void, but to humans, it was actually quite large.
It was ten meters wide and was paved seamlessly with crystal stones. There was an array of source energy engraved on the crystal stone that sent out powerful source energy fluctuations.
Lin Mu was a mercenary, so he was quite sensitive to things like this, This bridge seemed to be covered in traps. If we make one mistake, the consequences are unimaginable.
“That's right, we can't activate the trap at all.” Chu Tian carefully observed the stone bridge for several minutes, The stone floor runes will not continue to change. As long as you follow my footsteps closely, you should be able to cross the bridge safely.
Yun Yao turned her gaze there.
The fine crystal was covered in runes, but even with his experience and knowledge, he could not understand it at all. It was clearly an ancient rune from an ancient civilization.
Chu Tian did not dare to say he understood everything, but he understood enough to know where the trap was.
“Focus your mind and don't make mistakes.”
Chu Tian stepped on one stone slab, and it started to light up, but Chu Tian ignored it and stepped onto the second, third, and fourth slabs of the Plates that Chu Tian stepped on lit up, blazing, but nothing came from them.
The other six were overjoyed in their hearts.
It was fortunate that they had Chu Tian, otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for them to take a small step forward in this trial room!
The six of them carefully followed Chu Tian. Whichever plate of stone he stepped on, they would follow right behind him. They did not encounter any problems on the way and they slowly started to move faster.
After half an hour, they had safely crossed more than half of the stone slab.
But something nobody expected happened!
Whoa, weng, weng!
The sound of wings flapping at high speed came from all around them!
Around the stone bridge, floating above the ravine was a three meter tall giant monster! These monsters were black and yellow in stature, looking like insects. Not only did they have a scythe on their hands, they also had a long black needle attached to their stomachs.
Their numbers are too many!
There are over a hundred packed up!
Yun Xiao shouted in shock, Fuck it! I finally understood why this place was called a giant nest! This is where the giants raise bees! We've hit a beehive! What we do!”
Nangong Yun hit his head, Stop yelling! You're embarrassing! It's just some insects!
Yun Xiao shouted in an exaggerated manner, Insect? Please big brother, how can you consider these insects! Have you ever seen an insect weighing several hundred kilograms! Ever since we entered this labyrinth, we have become insects!
Everyone expressed a bitter look.
The giant bees did not look friendly, and the bridge was covered in traps, so they could do nothing. If they had to fight the bees in this situation, it would be a more difficult task than ascending to heaven!
Yun Yao instantly clenched her hands, and the Thunder Spirit Bead floated around her body.
When a buzzing sound is heard.
Countless giant bees started attacking on the stone bridge!
“Take them!” The sword qi Chu Tian slashed down a gigantic bee, splitting it into two. When he saw that the strength of the bee was not as great as he had imagined, Chu Tian let out a sigh of relief.
Who would have thought the two parts of the bee carcass would fall right on the stone bridge. A piece landed on one of the thirty-meter-wide stone slabs.
Hong!
The trap has been activated!
Lightning fell from the sky, instantly turning the corpse of the bee into ashes..That's right, it has turned into ashes. A breeze blew fiercely, and the crystal stone plate was as smooth as before, leaving not a single trace!
The other part of the corpse fell into another trap. Energy is released when the other half is turned into stone before it is crushed into powder.
Too scary!
The whole bridge is covered in death traps!
Under the attack of the giant bees, they were unable to make a single mistake or they would be instantly killed by a trap!
The Thunder Spirit Bead floated in the sky and unleashed a giant net of thunder, instantly covering the seven of them. When the giant bees hit the net, they were instantly blown away by lightning with no way to attack.
My spirit energy is limited and with a defense of this magnitude, I will not be able to last long! Yun Yao shouted while knitting her brows, Get rid of them quickly and do not let them get close, otherwise we run out!
“Song of Wind and Sword of the Clouds!”
In a dangerous moment like this, it was time for Feng Caidie to show his skills. He was a cultivator who was associated with the wind and could attack from afar with quick attacks. With how powerful the Wind and Cloud Sword Song was, facing this kind of large-scale monster attack, he was the best candidate!
Countless blue sword qi lines surged forward in waves, slashing down the giant bees one by one.
This doesn't solve the problem. The giant bee was too far away, and other than Feng Caidie, no one could attack the giant bee. The number of giant bees far exceeded their estimates, and densely circling the bridge like this, they actually slowed down their speed.
Rows of jet black needles raised.
Each tail of the needle gave off a green glow, just like the color of the poison.
Yun Xiao wiped his sweat, “It's not like this!”
Su, su, su, su Several hundred needles fell like raindrops, shooting at the stone bridge. The speed of each needle was as fast as the sound itself, completely invisible to the naked eye, forming a pitch-black shadow.
The sound of frying beans came from the thunder nets around them.
It was a stinging sound sent back by the net of thunder.
Yun Yao's face turned ugly, This is bad, too many poisonous needles. My thunder net is not a complete defense and cannot stop this kind of high-frequency and dense attack!
Thunder and fire are not substances.
So once a defense is formed, it is not as solid as that formed from gold, earth, or ice.
Every needle that fell on the thunder net was sent flying back by the thunder energy. It expended a lot of energy, and the defense had to be replenished constantly, so with this kind of dense attack, it was impossible to keep a net of thunder.
Finally the poisonous needles passed through the net of thunder, shooting at them!
“Ice Mountain Shield!”
A white aura came from Fang Han, and a huge shield condensed in the air. When the poison needle meets the shield, it becomes deeply embedded, but unable to destroy the shield.
“Go!”
Fang Han's giant shield flew in the rain of needles.
The giant shield exploded, and countless chunks of ice flew in all directions. Many giant bees do not dodge in time and are thrown to the ground after being exposed to ice.
However, it was not strong enough!
Fang Han's cultivation was not high and he had no way of dealing with serious injuries, so a pile of poison needles flew towards them. Everyone quickly increased their own defenses.
There was one poison needle that fell onto the stone slab beside them.
The crystal stone plate was activated, and a poisonous green mist was released from the trap array. It was like a cloud as it enveloped them.
Everyone's faces fell!
Goddamn bum!
The stinger can activate traps on the ground. Not only do they have to stop the stinger from hitting them, they also have to make sure that the stinger does not fall into any of the scary traps near them!
“Absorb!”
Lin Mu summoned his Willow Tree Source Spirit. It had been a long time since it was last used, and the Spirit Source Willow Tree had recovered most of its energy. Willow leaves touch the poison and fully absorb all the toxins released by the trap.
Chu Tian saw this and shouted, Don't hold on! Make a full attack! Destroy them!”
If they continued to fight like this, it was only a matter of time before the enemy finished them off. They have to go all out and destroy the giant bees as quickly as possible.
“No other choice!”
“Thunder Brackets!”
Yun Yao fused her hands together and a net of thunder gathered together with the Thunder Spirit Bead as the focal point. It turned into a seven-eight meter long giant bird that attacked the giant bees.
After Yun Yao attacked, dozens of Feng Caidie sword qi followed her. Since the others did not have strong ranged attacks, they would only use their strength to create a shield.
Yun Yao was worthy of becoming an Illustrious Soul Realm cultivator. Wherever the Thunder Bird went, the giant bee was swept away.
In just a few moments, he had killed several dozen of them.
“Good!”
Nangong Yun cheered loudly. With their speed being killed, it didn't take long before all the giant bees were taken care of!
However, at this time.
A jet-black bee suddenly appeared. This giant bee was clearly different from the others, as its body gave off a metallic glow. It was like a meteor as it launched a sneak attack against them. The scythe of his front legs was swept away, and the lines of sword qi were sent to the stone bridge.
“Shoppers!”
If this attack were to land, it would at least trigger five-six traps. Moreover, it was very close to them, so who knew what would happen.
Nangong Yun quickly pressed down.
The peng!
The red spirit energy broke the sword qi and smashed into the body of the giant bee. Nangong Yun was pushed back a few steps and he stepped on the edge of the stone slab he was on.
If he moves another centimeter!
He'll step on another stone plate!
Nangong Yun was filled with cold sweat. He thought he was safe, but the black giant bee he sent flying suddenly lifted his butt and let out a black poison stinger.
Nangong Yun subconsciously avoided it, but the stinger landed on the stone slab and countless runes began to shine.
“This is bad!”
Wild energy exploded.
Yun Xiao wanted to grab it.
“Go!”
Shouted Nangong Yun, but it was too late.
A shockwave was sent with Nangong Yun, Yun Xiao, and Feng Caidie nearby. Carrying the brunt of the attack, they were sent flying twelve to fifteen meters away from the stone bridge and fell into the abyss.
Some giant bees chase after them, capturing the injured. They then plunge first into the abyss.
“Sial, save me ....”
The pitiful cry of Yun Xiao disappeared into the darkness.
The giant bees could no longer resist and suffered heavy casualties, so they had no choice but to retreat.
“Shoppers!” Yun Yao knit her brows as she looked at the shattered stone bridge. His eyes were filled with anger as he clenched his fists tightly, “The trio had been captured by the giant bee, it seems like they must have died!”
Lin Mu and Fang Han's hearts were filled with fear, “Trials like this are impossible to pass!”
It's too loud!
This bridge was not something that normal people could cross!
In the entire Central State City, perhaps only Chu Tian had the ability to see through this trap. If anyone else were to meet this stone bridge, they could only try their luck and would not have the chance to reach this far.
Who knew that this trial room not only had a dangerous bridge like this, but there were also several hundred large monsters blocking the way. This kind of difficulty is too hard!
How many hours have passed so far?
Nangong Yun and the others are dead!
How long will the remaining people survive?
“It's too early for that conclusion!” Chu Tian looked at the black void and said, These bees are demonic beasts that live in the crowd, so they will not directly kill their prey. They might keep it in their nest. As long as we can catch up to them, maybe we can still save the three of them.
“Hive?” Lin Mu spoke with a bitter smile, “A few hundred of them are already this strong, it might not be good for us to get into their lair.”
Fang Han also nodded, The one sent to catch food is the lowest ranked beast. Inside the hive, there might be a queen bee or a higher ranked creature!
With their current situation, not to mention reaching the beehive, if they were to be attacked on the road with their current strength, they would probably not manage to survive this attack.
“I have a way!”
“Bring some giant bee corpses!”
Lin Mu and Fang Han carefully collected the two intact corpses of the giant bees.
This was a demonic beast called a giant bee. It has very basic senses and does not have high intelligence. Chu Tian spoke while using his sword to cut the corpse of the giant bee. He took out a dark yellow-colored waxy liquid that smelled strangely, It's called beeswax. As long as we cover ourselves with this, giant bees will not attack us!
Lin Mu and Fang Han revealed amazed expressions.
They were mercenaries so they knew nothing about this area, but Chu Tian once again showed how learned he was. If they could use this method to dodge attacks, then not necessarily they would be killed in a giant beehive!
They can't just leave the three of them, right?
Even if they knew it was extremely dangerous, they still had no choice but to leave!
