Chapter 317 Participating in the Trial
Within the palace, the deep, bell-like sound echoed endlessly, each word carrying awe-inspiring majesty, as if it came from an unparalleled being between heaven and earth.
"Welcome to the world within the cauldron, those who are destined to enter!"
Mo Ming was stunned. His hand was still on the edge of the bronze cauldron, feeling the continuous and profound power emanating from the cauldron.
Lin Ye was also astonished. He looked around warily but could not find the source of the sound.
"Who's speaking?" Lin Ye asked in a low voice, his hand already instinctively gripping the spear.
Mo Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly asked, "Who are you? What is the world within the cauldron?"
After a moment of silence, the deep voice rang out again, carrying an undeniable solemnity.
“I am the guardian spirit of this place, and the place beneath your feet is within the bronze cauldron.”
"A bronze cauldron? Could it be the Bronze Heaven-Refining Cauldron?" Mo Ming's heart was filled with shock, but he suppressed his excitement and asked earnestly.
"Hehe... You'll have to find the answer yourself!"
"..."
Not receiving a definite answer left Mo Ming somewhat disappointed. However, he still believed that this might be the Bronze Heaven-Refining Cauldron.
The sound then rang out.
"Only those with the right destiny can enter this place, but this is not the end of your life, but the beginning of your trials."
"Trial?"
Mo Ming and Lin Ye exchanged a glance, their hearts surging with awe, yet also filled with a vague sense of anticipation.
These trials found in ancient ruins often come with astonishing rewards, but at the same time, they also carry enormous risks.
Lin Ye took a deep breath, suppressing his doubts, and asked, "What trial?"
A faint blue light flickered on the bronze cauldron, and the voice continued slowly:
"The world within the cauldron is formed from the remaining core power of the bronze cauldron. The trials are divided into two categories, and the rewards differ depending on the trials."
"The first type is the ordinary trial. Anyone who is destined to step into this place can participate."
Mo Ming frowned and continued to ask, "What is the second type of trial?"
The voice paused, then became even deeper and more authoritative: "The second category is the Core Trial. Only those who have activated the Bronze Sanctuary through a special upgrade are qualified to participate in the Core Trial."
It's important to note that while the trials can bring you great rewards, they also come with certain dangers. Please consider carefully before participating!
Lin Ye frowned slightly. He had heard other survivors mention the special upgrade during the subsequent development of the shelter, and he had felt regretful for a while.
I never paid attention to the veiled remark mentioned by the mechanical voice from the very beginning:
[Please note! The cabin is your base. You can upgrade your dilapidated cabin by finding materials. In addition to basic materials, adding different materials will have different effects on the cabin, and you might be pleasantly surprised!]
He simply assumed that the shelter could be upgraded, but that sentence contained a hidden possibility of a special upgrade!
There's nothing I can do; it's my own fault for not noticing at the time!
"Mo Ming, what do you think? Should we participate in the trial?"
"join!"
Mo Ming didn't think too much about it. Now that he had come here, how could he be satisfied without figuring things out? Besides, it was very likely related to bronze artifacts.
"Haha, that's what I was thinking too! We can look out for each other if we're together!" Lin Ye laughed heartily when he saw that Mo Ming was willing to participate.
"Um... well, the one I need to participate in is... the Core Trial!"
Mo Ming scratched his head and smiled slightly!
Lin Ye was completely dumbfounded!
Damn, this guy's combat power is off the charts. He can use spiritual power at the Crimson Purple level, and he can beat up the Radiant Orange level. Not only that, but his shelter is also specially upgraded.
And what a coincidence, it's a bronze shelter!?
Comparing people to each other is so annoying!
"Mo Ming, please, please tell me you're joking, okay? Please!"
Lin Ye looked pitiful as he clung to Mo Ming's arm.
"Uh... I was just kidding!"
Haha, really?
"Fake!"
"Aaaaaah... I'll never forgive you..."
Watching Lin Ye howl like a little kid, Mo Ming felt both amused and a little cute!
It's hard to imagine that Lin Ye, who can unleash a spear like a thunder dragon in battle and land like a tyrant, has this side to him!
"I'm participating in the core trial!" Mo Ming stretched out his hand and shouted to the sky!
"I'll participate in the regular trial!" Lin Ye dropped his idiotic act and shouted, mimicking Mo Ming's style!
"Qualification check in progress, please wait..."
Mo Ming and the other looked at each other, wondering what kind of test was being conducted. Could it be that you have some connection with the backing of the Misty World?
"Qualification check complete, qualifications verified, trial to begin!"
As the sound abruptly stopped, a light suddenly appeared beneath Mo Ming and Lin Ye's feet.
A burst of light suddenly rose from beneath their feet, quickly enveloping Mo Ming and Lin Ye. The two felt a slight loss of weight, and the scene before them began to be filled with a thick mist of light, blurring everything around them instantly. The ground beneath their feet seemed no longer solid, as if they were in an endless void.
"I feel like something's not right. What's going on?" Lin Ye couldn't help but ask Mo Ming, but his words seemed abrupt in the eerie silence around them.
"Don't panic, it should just be the teleportation process during the trial." Mo Ming's tone was firm, and his eyes were sharp. Although his expression was calm, his body was subtly tense, ready to deal with the unknown at any time.
A moment later, a deep voice echoed in their ears again: "The trial participants have confirmed the trial path, and the trial is about to begin. Please adjust your mindset and concentrate—you are about to step into your respective domains."
The next instant, a sudden burst of light appeared! What followed was a completely different scene.
Lin Ye suddenly felt an intense heat before his eyes. The moment the light faded, he found himself standing on an endless plain of flames. The ground was covered with cracks burning with crimson flames, and the air was thick with scorching heat; even breathing felt like being burned!
"Where is this? It feels like I've fallen into a furnace." Lin Ye frowned, glancing around with intense wariness in his eyes. He gripped his spear tightly, and a pale blue aura of spiritual energy suddenly spread around him, shielding him from the scorching heat.
A deep voice suddenly rang out in this scorching world: "First Trial: Infernal Hunt. Trial participants must kill five Infernal Fire Wolves within the specified time and obtain their spirit cores before they can proceed to the next trial."
As soon as he finished speaking, several deep roars suddenly echoed in Lin Ye's mind.
He looked up and saw several pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly light up in the fiery crack not far away. The next second, several wolf-like creatures with dark red flames all over their bodies leaped out of the crack.
