Pulp Farmer and company looked at each other once again. Shi Xiaobai was always able to surprise, amaze and even horrify them. As such, when Shi Xiaobai said that he was impervious to poison, they did not feel much of a stir in their hearts. However, they still found it unbelievable that he had become hungry from anger and then secretly ate the tree leaves. It was because it was too strange.
However, Pulp Farmer and company did not harp on this topic. Regardless of whether what Shi Xiaobai said was true or not, it would be impolite to probe further.
Liu Yu immediately changed the topic and said, "Benefactor Shi Xiaobai's opportunities are truly enviable. If This Penniless Priest didn't guess wrongly, this holy tree's fruit is one of the holy relics of the trials. Just like the Level Lord, it cannot be respawned. It is an opportunity left behind by the trial's creator for future trial-takers. The Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower's heritage is considered extremely rare compared to the other trials, but every one of them is extremely precious and priceless. Over thousands of years, most of the heritage has been discovered by the predecessors. The ones that are left behind are either extremely well-hidden or the methods to obtain them are unbelievably difficult. To be honest, the greatest goal of This Penniless Priest in participating in this trial is to obtain a Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower's heritage, but he has yet to obtain it."
Shi Xiaobai smiled. He also felt that his luck was indeed not bad. In fact, he had used 10,000 points to exchange for Holy Radiance on the second level. That sword was currently being lent to Sunless, and it was apparently one of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower's sacred relics.
Shi Xiaobai and company proceeded through the Silent Desolate Lands for a long period of time. The scenery along the way was monotonous and desolate, as though they were constantly repeating the scene of yellow sand and gray rocks. However, Liu Yu was an extremely talkative person. He could always find a topic to resolve a boring situation.
Along the way, Liu Yu told them the background story of the seventh level. The world was very large. The Infernal domain and Transcendence were just a tiny portion of the world's map. In history, there were many trial-takers who traveled together to explore this world. They then shared many of the world's culture and stories with the human world.
After all, this world was a fictional version of a real plane of existence. Although it belonged to the primordial era and the level of civilization was not high, there was still much to study and learn from with its colorful culture.
Shi Xiaobai enjoyed listening to all kinds of stories from a young age. Be it a magnificent myth or a simple and innocent fairy tale, Shi Xiaobai could always imagine the scenes in the story, immersing himself in the ups and downs of the story.
Shi Xiaobai thought that if killing the Infernal King allowed him to complete the Absolute Choice's mission, but he was still unable to obtain the trial or the recognition of the program, then it would be even better. This was because in that case, he could be like many people, using his own footprints to explore the world.
After advancing in the Dead Silent Wasteland for an unknown period of time, the originally scorching sun had gradually become warm and gentle.
Pulp Farmer suddenly stopped in his tracks at a particular moment.
Pulp Farmer said, "Time is almost up. Let's settle it here."
Liu Yu and Feng Yuanlin also stopped and nodded at Pulp Farmer.
Shi Xiaobai was somewhat puzzled by this sentence. He asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Only then did Pulp Farmer realize that there was a 'hothead' beside him that did not understand the seventh level at all. He said helplessly, "When trial-takers stay in the world of the seventh level, they have to experience a calamity every three days. We call it 'Transcending Calamity'. Overlord Ji Feng lasted for a hundred days and experienced thirty-four calamities before finally obtaining the recognition of the assessment program. And my first Transcending Calamity was three days ago at this point in time. Therefore, my second calamity is about to arrive! The second calamity is still relatively easy to transcend. I can settle it myself. "
Shi Xiaobai immediately recalled that he and Speechless had recently encountered the gigantic black scorpions, steel rhinoceroses and stone dragons. That was probably the Transcending Calamity that Pulp Farmer was talking about, right?
It was unknown if that Transcending Calamity was his calamity or Speechless' calamity.
Shi Xiaobai nodded to indicate that he understood. He stood there quietly like them, waiting for Pulp Farmer's second calamity to arrive.
A minute later, a commotion suddenly came from the west.
Black shadows appeared at the end of the horizon.
Focusing his eyes, Shi Xiaobai was somewhat surprised. Weren't those gigantic black scorpions?
The gigantic black scorpions were crawling over from afar. They were densely packed and numbered in the hundreds.
"The second calamity, 139 black scorpions. It looks like the assessment program's evaluation of me is pretty good."
A smile suffused across Pulp Farmer's lips as he raised his spear and walked forward. He said in high spirits, "All of you wait here. I'll be right back. I'll transcend this calamity myself!"
Pulp Farmer charged at the hundred black scorpions that were crawling over like a tidal wave. He thrust his spear forward in an awe-inspiring manner as he began an intense battle.
Shi Xiaobai surveyed his surroundings and was immediately even more surprised. Why were there only gigantic black scorpions? Where were the steel rhinoceroses and stone dragons?
At this moment, Liu Yu's somewhat wistful voice sounded in his ears. "The assessment program will evaluate the trial-taker based on their performance. Then, it will determine the difficulty of each calamity. The second calamity is 139 black scorpions. Pulp Farmer is considered above average among all the trial-takers in history. His future is limitless!"
Upon hearing Liu Yu's words, Shi Xiaobai fell silent.
He and Speechless had been attacked by the gigantic black scorpions, steel rhinoceroses and stone dragons not long ago. Just the number of gigantic black scorpions numbered more than ten thousand.
If 139 gigantic black scorpions was considered above average, then what was the level of the calamity he and Speechless encountered?
It was unknown if the calamity was his first calamity or Speechless' second or third calamity.
Pulp Farmer fought the gigantic black scorpions for more than ten minutes. Pulp Farmer was not immune to poison like Shi Xiaobai, so he needed to constantly be wary of the venom of the gigantic black scorpions. As such, he was more careful in his battles, so he spent more time. However, Pulp Farmer's strength was indeed not bad. Defeating the gigantic black scorpions was only a matter of time.
Shi Xiaobai suddenly thought of a problem. He looked at Liu Yu and asked, "If we were still in Transcendence, how would these gigantic black scorpions appear?"
Liu Yu said with a smile, "These gigantic black scorpions would appear outside Transcendence and then attack Transcendence. In fact, many trial-takers would choose to hide in Transcendence or other places to avoid the calamity. It would be effective in the beginning, but as the difficulty of each calamity increases, no country would be able to protect the trial-takers. Furthermore, no country would choose to protect them. The legendary thirty-fourth calamity can easily destroy the entire Transcendence. No one can protect it. Therefore, no one dares to attempt what Overlord Ji Feng did back then. "
Shi Xiaobai nodded and immediately understood the difficulty involved. If the thirty-fourth calamity could easily destroy Transcendence, it meant that King Leonis could not withstand it. It was obvious how difficult it was.
At this moment, Pulp Farmer had finally finished off the last scorpion. He slowly walked over.
"Sorry for making all of you wait. Let's go. The Door of the Bravehearts isn't far from here! "
