The timing for the opening of the Volcano Trial was fixed. It would only open once every 36 hours. Usually, this kind of multi-player trial would not be open at any time but would follow a certain time limit.
Many people had already gathered at the bottom of the volcano. This was the starting point of the trial. It looked like all of them were here for the volcano trial.
They faced various monsters in the previous Ice Cloud trial. One-third of the difficulty this time would come from the competitors.
Tentacles’eyes flashed. He saw a few people from the Shadow Group. He also did not know what method they would be using to handle Black Charcoal.
But what was surprising was that Tentacles still saw quite a number of famous powerful players from the Acolyte level. Also, there were a few people whose auras were concealed and their origins could not be guessed. It was most likely that 80-90% of them were powerful players from the Saint level!
Upon inquiry, Tentacles was stunned. The rewards for this time’s volcano trial was actually a trial opportunity stone for the 32 Point Blade Technique!
Trial opportunity stone? After hearing, Wang Zheng was also stunned. He did not really care for the powerful players. He came here to challenge himself. It was like giving a breather to his brain which was occupied by the Atomic Burst. But, the trial opportunity stone for 32 Point Blade Technique?
Wang Zheng was determined to acquire it.
As for the other people in the World of Saints, the Blade Technique was just a basic fighting style. The other special cultivation techniques were better than the Blade Technique. But to Wang Zheng, the importance of Blade Technique to him far surpassed the others. The Blade Technique and the Primordial Regression Technique had an accidental commonality, or rather… a connection.
At the moment he still was not very clear, but if he could get the complete Blade Technique, perhaps he could figure out what was going on.
Weng…
At this moment, deep within the volcano, the land shook and sounds of lava surging could be heard. The volcano was like a fierce beast which came alive, emitting the threat of death.
Volcano Trial, Officially Open.
Volcano Trial: to reach the target location, collect specimens of volcanic plants and retreat safely.
Trial rewards: First place would get 100 hours of time and 1 trial opportunity stone for the32 Point Blade Technique…
The rewards were very generous. Basically, as long as a player could complete the trial, they would earn many rewards. But only the player in the first place could get the trial opportunity stone for the 32 Point Blade Technique.
At the starting point, instantly, over hundred people rushed out. Wang Zheng’s eyes flashed. Within the crowds, there were many special lights that could only be emitted by special cultivation techniques.
Obviously, while the Blade Technique had average power, this was after all a 32 Point Blade Technique. It had an extraordinary attraction to powerful players.
Wang Zheng rushed out calmly at his own pace. From the intelligence card, the key in the Volcano Trial was not in speed but how to handle all sorts of unexpected situations. He maintained a constant speed and preserved enough energy to handle unexpected situations.
The sudden situations in the Volcano Trial were different each time it opened. Some would involve Flaming Zerg nests which were exposed when earthquakes in the volcano split the ground, otherwise there would be some terrain obstacles. There was a huge variety of strange unique situations. The intelligence card even specially recorded a special mission to rescue hostages.
All in all, there were numerous difficulties that would appear and one would have to solve these difficulties. At the same time, you had to restrain your competitors to prevent them from going one step ahead.
Wang Zheng just started and realized that he was surrounded by 4 people.
Almost at the same time, pa, a loud crack and a black whip suddenly shot out, landing towards Wang Zheng’s neck.
At the same rhythm, the other three launched an attack together.
Wang Zheng smiled and lighted shifted. A high frequency step – missing by a small distance but it was as good as resulting in a moving a thousand miles. Instantly, all attacks missed.
At this moment, Tentacles also rushed in. His movements were even quicker, a gush of violent wind rolled pass and cut in quickly. He stood back-to-back with Wang Zheng and glared at the four people.
The four people exchanged a look and quickly retreated. They missed one shot and immediately retreated far away. Only lone players were their true target.
Under the temptation of the 32 Point Blade Technique, there was no shortage of groups of powerful players joining the Volcano Trial this time. This fighting style was not worth being the main focus of training, but it could be a supportive cultivation technique. Furthermore, it could guide on in bridging the difference between 16 Point and 32 Point Techniques. Hence it was relatively high-level material.
There was no need to form agreements. It was routine to get rid of all those without a team and then decide who could get the final victory.
Tentacles smiled at Wang Zheng. “Brother Charcoal, let’s form a team. It can save you a lot of trouble at the start. When you get the Blade Technique trial opportunity stone, you must let me touch it and then take a picture.”
Wang Zheng chuckled. Actually if Tentacles had not arrived, he could instantly escape from the 4 people and then quickly reach the front. Even if someone wanted to target him, they would not find him.
But, Tentacles had good intentions, so Wang Zheng slowed down. He took it as bringing Tentacles along to pass the trial. At the early stages of the Volcano Trial, speed was not important. The key was in the second half stage, on how they could complete the trial goals under dangerous difficulties.
Hong long!
A terrible earthquake caused a crevice to open.
The volcano had not erupted yet but one could feel the ground tremoring more and more.
A streak of flames shot out from the ground and sprayed towards the sky. Deep red lava followed closely, flowing out like viscous sugar syrup and covering the ground, forming a lava lake.
The four people who attacked Wang Zheng previously were a little unlucky. They stepped directly on the spraying point of the ground fire and were directly burned into charcoal, exiting from this time’s Volcano Trial.
“The volcanic activity is starting to become more violent. We have to speed up.” Tentacles took out a Volcano Trial intelligence card. The intelligence card exploded and in Tentacles’ mind, a map appeared. “I’ll walk in front and guide the way.”
“Okay.” Wang Zheng nodded. The intelligence card was a good way to accumulate experience.
Along the way, they faced multiple difficult obstacles. The biggest danger came from the sudden burst of lava from underground. There were almost no signs at all. Even if you had a higher ability, one spray of a streak of lava would turn one into ashes.
Fire attribute ability X users were like fishes in water. Their teams advanced with cooperation and at this moment all of them could avoid smoothly the burst of lava. Unless of course if they were really unlucky. Basically, those teams passed this stage with no injuries.
At this moment, it showed how special that piece of intelligence card on Tentacles’ hands was. All the way, they actually totally avoided all the paths with bursting lava spouts. It was extremely easy. This was also the importance of having prior intelligence. Hence, the tougher the trial, the more expensive the intelligence card, and there was no doubt that the sale of intelligence was a considerably profitable business. Of course, the better the intelligence, the harder to get. Basically all good intelligence was monopolized by big organizations.
Halfway up the mountain, those single player trial participants were basically all gone at this moment and the double player groups were starting to get targeted.
Flames suddenly burst out!
Wang Zheng quickly grabbed Tentacles and pulled him towards the left suddenly. This time, it was not the lava from the trial but from the attacks of other trial participants.
Two people blocked their way and looked at Wang Zheng with surprise. “Oh? This guy actually can discover my flame trap. A talent.”
A voice sounded lightly. The two people broke some sort of illusion in the road ahead. One was dressed from head to toe in fiery red and the other was so muscular, it felt as though his muscles were like metal.
