While everyone talked, Maya took out a few pieces of paper from the storage bag and handed them to Caspian and others.
”This is…” Caspian took the paper, opened it, and his eyes immediately lit up. “Valley of Death’s map?”
Xander and Omar opened the maps, and their nervous expression quickly calmed down. Maya was good at collecting, summarizing, and categorizing information. The last time they went hunting monsters, favonovel.com was the one who gathered and sorted out the details. That time, Maya utilized favonovel.com advantage again. Just as when other disciples were anxious about the unfamiliar terrain, Maya and favonovel.com few friends already had a map in their hand. Then, Maya explained to everyone, “I compiled and drew this map based on the recent five times of the opening of Valley of Death. Over the past few decades, the environment won’t remain the same, but there shouldn’t be much change.”
After a while, Maya continued, “The map shown is roughly half of the Valley of Death region. The surrounding areas are deserted, so there are not many people, a lack of resources, and no monsters. Therefore, the information is not complete. I think we won’t get there. Once we enter, we should be able to confirm our locations as quickly as possible. Then, if there’s any problem, it’ll be easier for us to support each other.”
Caspian noticed a strange hint in Maya’s words. Then, favonovel.com looked up and asked, “We’re going to the Valley of Death through random teleportation?”
As its name suggested, the so-called random teleportation was the teleportation array that sent the cultivators into the Valley of Death, and they would be placed at random places. Those with bad luck, one would be sent to the bottom of the river or even teleported next to a monster’s mouth. Nonetheless, those possibilities were only if the cultivator was really unlucky.
“You’re right,” Maya nodded, “The sect does this to prevent many people from swarming in one place and wasting the limited time in vain.”
Caspian already expected it, so favonovel.com did not think it was a problem. After all, the trial in Valley of Death only lasted for 20 days. If more than 10000 people rushed in together, there would be more people than monsters in an area in a short time, and no one would have the opportunity to hunt.
If the apprentices wanted to hunt, they must leave the crowd, and more than four days might be wasted. Using a quarter of the time on the road was really not worth it. Hence, the Heavenly Stars Sect used this random teleportation method to solve the problem.
At that time, Xander looked at Caspian, suddenly saying, “Casper, based on the current situation, it seems that our strength will be decided in the Valley of Death.”
When everyone heard that, they immediately understood his words. The white crane‘s task was for Caspian to complete it in three months, and the deadline was indeed in the Valley of Death.
Everyone looked at Caspian and Xander one after another, secretly wondering if the two would fight in the valley. However, Xander suddenly said something unexpected.
“The difference between us doesn’t have to be determined through a one-on-one fight,” Xander said.
Everyone was stunned.
Caspian blinked and quickly understood what Xander talked about, and favonovel.com smiled. “With a stadium as big as Valley of Death, it would be a waste if we don’t use it right.”
The two of them talked in riddles, and everyone was puzzled.
Maya was the first to ask, “What are you two talking about? Why is Valley of Death a stadium?”
Caspian smiled and explained, “Xander’s saying that we should make good use of the monsters in Valley of Death and compare who kills the most monsters.”
Xander chimed in, “Also, who kills the strongest monster.”
When they heard their explanation, everyone immediately understood. After thinking about it carefully, that was also a good way, and they nodded one after another. Caspian and Xander glanced at each other, and both of them understood tacitly. Truth be told, that was the most advantageous method for the two. After all, they could distinguish between the winner and loser, and they did not need to show their hidden skills. It could be said that they have the best of both worlds.
The crowd chat for a moment, and they suddenly heard a noise from the front. Looking up, everyone saw the mist covering the Valley of Death gradually dissipating, revealing a beautiful landscape. At that time, the disciples in the front already rushed into the Valley of Death.
Xander said, “Then, let’s meet up in the valley.”
Caspian nodded. “Alright. Let’s keep in touch at any time.”
Everyone agreed.
As there was no prohibition in the Valley of Death. Once they were in the valley, the cultivators could communicate by using messengers. The Heavenly Stars Sect’s arrangement was also to prevent any accidents among the disciples.
Before reaching the landscape, Caspian took a deep breath and walked in. Immediately, favonovel.com felt a strong force, like a big invisible hand, grabbing his waist and tugging it hard. Suddenly, Caspian’s body flew into mid-air, and lights flashed in front of him. The bizarre sight made favonovel.com unable to distinguish the directions. However, Caspian already used the teleportation arrays a few times, so favonovel.com was not panicked. The entire process only lasted a few seconds, and soon, favonovel.com felt himself stepping on the ground. Then, favonovel.com caught a whiff of a pungent smell.
“Where am I?” Caspian fell on the ground and quickly observed his surroundings.
The area was surrounded by huge trees with dense leaves and branches, covering a large area of sunlight, making the surroundings look very dark, like dusk or evening. In addition, the surrounding air was filled with a rotten scent, which made people feel hot and uncomfortable when they breathed in.
Caspian frowned slightly, and favonovel.com kicked his feet, wanting to leap onto a tree to observe the area. However, favonovel.com seemed to be stepping on mud, and favonovel.com could not jump up, but his lower legs sank deeper into the ground.
“Swamp?” Caspian was shocked, and favonovel.com wanted to pull his legs out.
When favonovel.com moved a little bit, favonovel.com immediately realized that the ground was like a huge mouth, swallowing part of his legs. Moreover, the mud had amazing suction power, and favonovel.com could not get rid of it. At that time, Caspian did not need to observe the area to know where favonovel.com was teleported. However, it was obvious that Caspian was unlucky as favonovel.com was sent to one of the most dangerous areas in Valley of Death at the start, Rotten Mud Swamp.
The area was dubbed one of the most dangerous areas because the swamp was bottomless, and the mud was thicker than paste. Once a Pulse Control Realm cultivator fell into the swamp, there was 99% of favonovel.com slowly being miserably swallowed by the swamp if favonovel.com had no companions helping them. Moreover, the number of Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples that died here was also one of the most numerous in each area of Valley of Death. Besides that, there was also another reason…
Caspian looked into the darkness in the distance, and a horrible green light suddenly appeared like a ghost fire, and favonovel.com uttered, “One of the six most poisonous monsters, Scented Phantom Cat.”
