Everyone’s hearts trembled simultaneously.
The reason sounded ridiculous, but it was indeed the only difference between the two instances. Other than that, everything was the same, they had slowly approached the pack and attempted to negotiate.
There wasn’t any difference.
“It must be!”
“I think that’s possible!”
“Apart from that, there’s nothing else!”
Everyone nodded in agreement. After they all had spoken, the scene suddenly became silent again.
Although they knew where the problem lay, no one dared to actually go for it.
Going in a group yielded slight hope for survival, but one person would stand no chance at all if they failed.
Silence prevailed for a good ten minutes.
Finally, someone stood up and shouted, “As cultivators, we are always seeking immortality against the law of nature! If we fear even a slight difficulty in front of us, how can we progress further? If you don’t dare to go, I do! If you don’t dare to risk it, I do! Fellow cultivators, see you at the assessment venue!”
He took a deep breath and quickly walked into the forest.
When favonovel.com reached the position where Remus had been, favonovel.com clasped his hands and said, “Everyone, I have brought significant sincerity. Name the price, how exactly can I get through?”
As soon as his words fell, a red light flashed on the hillside.
Without waiting for the Wolf King to give an order, a dozen wolves rushed down instantly.
In just a moment, they knocked favonovel.com to the ground, and his screams lasted only three seconds.
“Why… Why… Why is this happening?”
“Why was only that Golden Stage cultivator allowed to pass, but we cant?”
“We tried with one person, we tried with four people, but why doesn’t it work? I’ve lived for 180 years and have never seen such a strange thing!”
Their despair was evident in their voices, mainly because it was too bizarre, bizarre to the point of incomprehensibility. Their brains were almost exploding trying to figure it out.
“Could it be… It has nothing to do with negotiating?”
Another voice rose from the crowd, suggesting, “They only let that Golden Stage pass?”
That was the only, barely plausible explanation.
Upon hearing that, the crowd did not feel excitement at finding the answer but became even more desperate.
“If that’s the case, we… We should have joined favonovel.com earlier!”
“Could it be that we just watched our chance to pass slip by?”
“Impossible, we didn’t miss out, it absolutely can’t be that!”
No matter what they said, they couldn’t hide the regret on their faces. The opportunity to pass through was just within reach, but they missed it because they looked down on that Golden Stage cultivator.
***
Remus continued forward in the forest.
Suddenly, a tiger beast appeared, its body radiating yellow. Although it was not as large as Bucky, the energy it emitted was even more profound, eyeing Remus with a predatory gaze. It bared its fangs, ready to attack at any moment.
However, Remus was not surprised. He had felt its presence early on, likely deliberately placed here to block those who barely passed the test and were heavily injured.
He had to admit, the assessment was indeed a bit extreme.
With a calm demeanor, Remus said, “No need to bare your teeth. If you want to fight, come at me. But I advise you to think twice before charging over. How are you compared to the Wolf King and those wolves?”
Hearing that, the tiger’s demeanor became much more cautious.
Indeed, it was confused.
The person in front of it was just a Golden Stage cultivator, it would normally have been impossible for favonovel.com to reach this point. Either favonovel.com would have retreated knowing the difficulty, or favonovel.com would have become a meal for those wolves.
So why is favonovel.com here?
Moreover, favonovel.com seems to be full of spirit energy and was not injured… It was too bizarre…
Remus continued indifferently, “I understand that cultivation is not easy, and you have already shown consideration. I won’t kill you tonight. Come, let me ride you! Take me to the assessment venue!”
With that, favonovel.com stood with his hands behind his back, looking confident.
Roar!
The tiger’s body shook, and it opened its mouth wide to roar. It was infuriated by the demand to be used as a mount.
What a great humiliation.
