Towards Eternity
Ch 560's. Hallways
While the audience was talking about the death of the male student who was attacked by two tigers, Weng Lou who had started to advance was now also faced with the umpteenth time wild beast.
*buy!!*
Weng Lou's fist that had a giant creature-like power successfully crushed the bodies of several white-haired wolves before him and instantly made the guts of other wolves instantly shrivel. They immediately ran to save their lives once they knew the power that Weng Lou had. But will Weng Lou just let them go?
He currently needed something that could really make him stand out among the other Test Participants. And he had thought about it a moment ago. According to him, if he could kill all the ferocious beasts and demons that cross paths with him, it could slightly give him a reputation even if it wasn't too great.
*Shelf!!*
"Catch this!" Weng Lou threw some stones that he took from the labyrinth wall and fiercely hit the bodies of the wolves that had run away from him.
It's not just a regular stone throw. When one of the stones hit the body of a wolf at the front, the wolf bone was immediately shattered into pieces and a hole that was as large as the stone was created on his body.
"AUUUUU!!!!!" A howl of pain was released by the wolf, but it did not last long as another stone had come and smashed its head like a balloon breaking into pieces.
The same fate came to the remaining wolves. The stones thrown by Weng Lou also hit them one by one until finally there was nothing left of the white-haired wolves. The spectators who saw this incident could tell clearly that it was a one-sided massacre perpetrated by Weng Lou.
Weng Lou did not waste his time and immediately continued his journey while passing through the bodies of wolves that were now lifeless.
***
Time passed and it was dark now, but there was no sign that the spectators would leave their seats. The expressions on their faces were a little more excited than before.
They were all Basic Martial Practitioners of foundation level 11 and above who could endure without eating for days or even weeks, therefore they could watch this Labyrinth Examination from beginning to end without moving from their seats in the least especially those in the realm of Soul Cleansing and Soul Unification.
"It should be about to begin, soon" said Elder Meigui who was watching from the chair located in a special place for the Core Sect Elders.
The other elders nodded at Meigui's words, they understood what he meant. Before long, when the sun was exactly sinking in the west and the darkness of the night began to arrive, the sounds of howls and terrifying roars echoed from within the labyrinth that could make the feathers of everyone standing.
Smiles and enthusiastic faces began to be seen from the spectators who heard it, the moments they were waiting for finally arrived.
Inside the labyrinth, the attacks from the wild beasts began to decrease as the day grew darker. But this did not make the Test Participants happy or relieved, instead they seemed to look more worried than before.
"Damn it, the night has finally come! I can't stay in this place, there are too many corpses of ferocious beasts here!" A male participant cursed frantically as he hurriedly left his place where there were countless beasts that had died from being killed by him.
However, his footsteps soon came to a halt as he felt a piercing cold sensation from the back of his neck.
Without even turning around in the slightest, he hastily spun to the side and dodged a long claw that a second ago had just slashed where his neck was before. Cold sweat immediately poured down from his forehead when he saw the figure of the perpetrator who had just attacked him. It was the figure of a Wind Wolf Demon that was famous for its light and wind-fast steps.
"Wolf Wind! I'm fucking shit!" The participant cursed while lamenting his very unlucky fate.
Among the many famous Demons in this Labyrinth Examination, the Wind Wolf is arguably one of the most famous because it has made many test takers have to fall from the exam.
The demon that came from the Wind Wolf ferocious beast was arguably a very powerful assassin in carrying out stealth attacks. And most of his victims won't know of his presence until he commits his attack.
The Demon's eyes stared intently at the male participant and a second later he had already pounced forward. Obviously he didn't want to procrastinate on eating his dinner.
"Hmp! You think I don't have the slightest preparation to deal with you?! Feel this!!"
Five talismans that had the same pattern were thrown out by the participant from behind his clothes which then immediately released a bright red light and a large fire immediately burned the Wind Wolf Demon to the ground turned to ashes.
His success in killing the Demon almost made the male participant cheer with joy, but the sharp gaze from behind the shadows immediately stopped him. There were several pairs of glowing eyes on him. The participant immediately got a bad feeling because of this and he immediately ran away from it.
"Aaauuuuu!!!!!!!" The howling of the wolf was heard from behind the participant.
From behind the shadows, several black figures darted out very quickly. Within seconds, the figures managed to chase after the male participant and immediately jumped into the air to pounce on him.
That participant, in his final seconds turned around and saw the four figures of the Wind Wolf Demon that were above him.
*Shuuusshh-!!!! The karggh!!!*
One of the demons had reached him first and directly inserted the entire head of the participant into his mouth, which instantly killed the male participant just like that.
Blood splashed everywhere, and the participants' bodies began to be eaten voraciously by the Demons who seemed to be very hungry. This incident made some spectators exhale slowly because they had realized that such a thing should not happen at this time.
Through the surge of Soul Power sent to the Jade Bamboo Sect Patriarch, a panicked and confused voice sounded in the Patriarch's head.
Hearing this, the Patriarch simply yawned and immediately replied in a trance, "I'm just 'a little' raising the difficulty level alone, nothing more."
The answer from him immediately made the owner of the Soul Power wave speechless where he was at this moment and unable to say anything. How could just a slight improvement make the difference the difficulty to this extent? He is not a child who is easily fooled by adults.
The eyes of an old man gazed into the labyrinth and saw the figure of Weng Lou who was currently tearing apart the bodies of the fifteen Demon Beast Forest Dogs with great ease and even caused fear and fear the horror of the demons who were watching the incident.
Like a thread finding a hole in a needle, the man instantly realized the cause of the increased difficulty on the Labyrinth Examination conducted by the Patriarch of the Bamboo Sect.
"Patriak....don't tell me you're doing this because of Elder Meigui's student? Isn't what you're doing too much to just test it? Is sacrificing the lives of dozens of Participants comparable to that?" The man spoke telepathically to his Patriarch, clenching his hands together so hard that little blood flowed out of him.
The patriarch just kept silent and did not answer anything, he chose to continue watching Weng Lou regardless The man who spoke to him telepathically was cursing himself from behind.
While the man was cursing his patriarch with some insults, the Jade Bamboo Sect Patriarch was dissolving in his own thoughts which was far more important than the discussion the man had talked about earlier. The ability and strength shown by Weng Lou in facing the beasts and demons up to this point had completely rendered him speechless.
The accuracy of each attack given by Weng Lou to his opponents was so deadly that they would definitely die in one attack.
For example, like today, Weng Lou's hand that was shaped like an eagle claw tore the necks of the Beast Forest Dog Demon that he was facing and immediately made them die horribly after receiving the attack. There were also some demons that were hit on their heads that made the contents of their heads scattered everywhere because of the attack by Weng Lou.
"That boy, how far is his power that he's hiding? I'm pretty sure he can even finish this exam in one day if I don't raise his difficulty level!" he cried inwardly, but his facial expression seemed to remain calm watching the exam.
"Luckily the Emperor is not here, I still have hope of hiding it if indeed this child is not a spy sent to our sect...."
This startling thought made a small smile appear on his face. His old dreams that had been buried deeply in his heart suddenly started to rise again and a glint of hope was seen in both of his eyes. He looked at Weng Lou like he was looking at a lucky angel who appeared in the form of a teenage boy.
***
Inside the labyrinth, Weng Lou's body suddenly shivered in fear as the gaze of the Jade Bamboo Sect's Patriarch was fixed towards him.
A wry smile was seen on Weng Lou's face as he sneered at the Jade Bamboo Sect's Patriarch for not trying to cover up the slightest emotion directed at him.
"What do you expect from me, old fucker? I'm even trying here, and you're expecting something from me."
*TSAK*
In one sweep, one of the stealth heads instantly detached from his body as soon as Weng Lou pulled him with a 'slow'. The head of the demon was then thrown at the two demons that jumped towards him from behind, and made the bodies of the two demons shatter apart because the impact of the throw of Weng Lou was so large.
Not until five minutes, Weng Lou had finished cleaning up the demons and now he arrived at a crossroads that led to two different roads and looked the same in the eyes of Weng Lou.
Weng Lou closed his eyes, then began to take a slow breath. He began to feel objects around him, ranging from the air, the wind that blows, the sound of breathing of wild animals and demons, until then some footsteps from other participants. The dreadful Weng Lou senses something in one of the streets in front of him and immediately opens his eyes again and immediately takes the path where he feels it.
His footsteps were so light, yet each step he took instantly cut over five meters, so within a span of a few seconds, he had passed tens of meters.
Right after he covered a distance of 200 meters, he was faced with a hallway in each wall planted by hundreds of flowers that have a variety of shapes and colors. The maze hallway planted by the flowers was nearly a hundred meters long, and around it were hundreds of insects flying to and fro every flower.
Weng Lou's footsteps came to a halt seeing this, and his eyes narrowed upon discovering that the air inside the flower-filled passage was filled with a poison that was quite strong.
"What the fuck? They really intend to kill me or what?"
Quickly Weng Lou could know that this hallway was one of the obstacles to the Exam created specifically for the participants like him. But the thing he couldn't digest was, how could they possibly place this deadly passage a few kilometers from the starting point of his test.
When Weng Lou was busy paying attention to the flowers and insects in the labyrinth hallway, his eyes accidentally stopped on something at the end of the hall where there was a bonsai plant that had bright yellow flowers.
At a glance, the plant does not look strange in the slightest, but after careful attention, the plant, it could be seen that there was not a single insect within a five-meter radius of the plant which made Weng Lou's curiosity rise. He scratched his non-itchy head, before then laughing softly.
"Hahaha.I will definitely regret this."
As soon as he said that, he immediately focused his gaze forward. A short knife was taken out from behind his shirt and in his grasp tightly in his left hand.
His eyes stared one by one at the insects in the passageway and muttered indistinctly. A serious aura was suddenly released, and in a single deep breath, Weng Lou shot straight into the passageway.
He did not let out his full speed but instead just ran at a normal speed that could still be followed by an ordinary human eye. This is done so as not to hit the insects in this hallway.
The reason, the poison that spread throughout the passageway came from these insects, and if he accidentally hit these insects, there was a possibility of poison entering his body. Although he did not know if this poison would impact him, it did not hurt to be careful. After all, his life was his number one priority.
