After splitting up, Yue Yang followed Ye Kong, Li Qie and Li Ge, leaving the first floor's teleportation point, Chen Xi Town, and hurried towards Yu Long Valley.
Yu Long Valley had nothing to do with dragons.
It was just a dangerous gorge that was 50 kilometres long, with a high mountain ridge that was as sharp as a blade.
The mountain walls were filled with countless spikes, strange rocks and cliffs, making it impossible for warriors to cross from the top of the mountain. At the same time, there were countless Level 3 Rock Eagles living on the mountain peak. Trying to ride a flying beast to cross the mountain ridge was simply courting death.
The valley floor was the only path.
However, there were countless Giant Demon Insects living inside, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. There were thousands of different kinds of ugly Demon Insects. Although they were not strong, they were able to display shocking battle power in the special terrain of Yu Long Valley. No one was able to completely eliminate them. Furthermore, the reproduction rate of the Demon Insects was extremely terrifying. In just ten days or so, the ground of Yu Long Valley, which had been cleaned clean by all the human martial artists, was once again occupied by Demon Insects of all sizes that had crawled out of the underground worm holes and cracks in the rocks, densely covering the ground like before.
Unable to eliminate the Demon Insects, the Warrior's Guild decided to use this place as the first trial for warriors.
"F * ck!" When they reached Yu Long Valley, Yue Yang could not help but frown when he saw the Demon Insects that covered the entire mountain.
With his strength, of course he was not afraid of these Demon Insects.
However, these Demon Insects were so ugly that they made people feel disgusted. Their shapes were extremely strange, and they were aggressive, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, making Yue Yang feel a little nauseous. This was not strange. No matter who saw the densely packed sea of Demon Insects in the valley, they would also feel a chill down their spines.
As for passing through Yu Long Valley, Ye Kong had two plans.
The first was to follow the other warriors and light a long torch. While chasing away the Demon Insects that were afraid of fire, he would advance step by step, following the safe route that people had taken before. Under the condition of not alarming the large group of Demon Insects, he would kill a small number of Demon Insects that he had to pass through. His speed would be slow, but it would be relatively safe to pass through Yu Long Valley. If he could find a team that could work together, he estimated that he would be able to pass through in at most two days.
The second was to use the stupidest, craziest and fastest method. That was to run madly all the way through the Demon Insects without stopping for even a second.
"If we use the first method, it's relatively safe, but it consumes a lot of time. Moreover, staying in Yu Long Valley for one night is the most dangerous. We must find a hiding place or else the number of Demon Insects will explosively increase by more than ten times at night. There may even be many powerful Rank 3 Demon Insects appearing. The chances of us being eaten are extremely high. The second method seemed to be very dangerous on the surface, but the reaction of the demonic worms was relatively slow during the day, and the sunlight made their vision very poor. If we target their sense of smell and lure them with strong smells along the way, then clear a small number of demon insects blocking the way, the success rate of passing through will be higher … The only downside is that this method requires a lot of physical strength. The fifty-kilometer long canyon is actually uneven and full of strange rocks, which will consume a lot of our physical strength. We can't rest in the middle of the canyon, we have to move forward in one breath! If there's a swarm of insects chasing after us, and we miss the hiding hole in the middle of Yu Long Valley, it's extremely likely that we'll lose our lives in the latter half of Yu Long Valley due to physical exhaustion … "
When Ye Kong said this, he looked at Yue Yang.
He wasn't worried about his body that had been starving for a few days. Starving had become his habit. Ye Kong was more worried about whether this Yue Clan's Third Young Master, who was called trash by the world, had enough physical strength to pass through the canyon in one breath while being chased by the Demon Insects.
The two brothers Li Qie and Li Ge looked at each other. This was also the problem they were worried about.
From a battle perspective, the two of them agreed to run forward in one breath, because before the Demon Insects could react, it would reduce a lot of unnecessary battles.
On the contrary, if they walked slowly and were entangled by a large group of Demon Insects, with just the two of them, it would be disastrous … The problem was, this choice had to be made by the employer, Yue Yang. Ye Kong was afraid that he didn't explain it clearly enough, so he added: "If we choose the first plan, then we should first prepare the necessary items, find other teams that want to pass through Yu Long Valley, and work together to advance forward. If we choose the second plan, we should immediately move, because the Demon Insects are at their weakest at noon, and now is already past the best time … In the past, the fastest time to run through Yu Long Valley was five hours. We need to be faster, or else once the sky turns dark, we'll be in an extremely dangerous situation."
Yue Yang felt that even the pitiful guy who had trained in battle skills would have no problem running through this 50 km mountain road, let alone himself.
He decided to use the second plan.
Nodding his head at Ye Kong, he said: "Run. I've trained in a bit of my family's battle skills, so there's no problem in terms of physical strength. I'll give you half an hour to prepare the necessities."
Hearing this, Ye Kong, Li Qie and Li Ge nervously swallowed their saliva.
Although they had hoped that Yue Yang would choose the second plan in their hearts, when they really made the decision, they felt that this was actually gambling with their lives. Li Qie and Li Ge immediately laid down on the ground. They were prepared to recover their physical strength to its peak within half an hour.
Ye Kong, however, did not. He immediately ran to the nearest grocery stall, took out the silver dollars that Yue Yang had given him in advance, and bought all kinds of necessities from the Warriors who set up the stall. About ten minutes later, he brought back a large bag of items, and also brought back a piece of good news. Two days ago, there were a few strong teams that had killed quite a number of Demon Insects to pass through. Now, the number of Demon Insects was slightly less than usual.
In Yue Yang's eyes, even if the number of Demon Insects was ten times less, it would still be innumerable.
Li Qie and Li Ge, on the other hand, were extremely encouraged. Although they understood that this would not be of much help, hearing good news was still better than hearing bad news.
"Why don't we leave the Ironback Demonic Wolf here? No matter how tame it is, it will still defect when it sees the Demon Insects that cover the entire mountain." As Ye Kong sprinkled 'Insect Loathing Powder' on Yue Yang's body, he softly advised Yue Yang to leave Hui Tai Lang behind.
"There's no need. It's fine if it defects and runs. This is a test for it." Yue Yang casually kicked Hui Tai Lang.
If Hui Tai Lang would defect even when it saw the Demon Insects, then what was the point of keeping it?
Ye Kong was a little dumbfounded when he saw Yue Yang's casual action of kicking his beast. He had never seen a Warrior who would punch and kick his own beast. Wasn't he afraid that the Ironback Demonic Wolf would defect and run away like this? However, when he saw Hui Tai Lang's wretched appearance after getting beaten up, he almost fell to the ground. He had never seen a beast that had no self-respect at all. Could this wolf be a natural masochist?
As Yue Yang and his group prepared to force their way through the Yu Long Valley, the few teams that were queuing up outside the valley to discuss cooperation were all dumbfounded.
Two team leaders shouted one after another, "Hey, are you guys preparing to give the Demon Insects their dinner?"
There were also people who cried out in shock, "Crazy, these four fellows are crazy."
"It's afternoon now, the sun will set soon. Within five hours, you guys definitely won't be able to run through Yu Long Valley. Even if you guys are lucky and don't encounter Level 3 Nest Spiders and Bird Catching Mantises, or large groups of Level 2 Giant Black Iron Ants and Ghost-Faced Centipedes, you guys won't be able to run through Yu Long Valley in one go. It's 50 kilometres long, and with the complicated terrain, you guys will probably die of exhaustion before you even get halfway through. " A few Warriors who set up stalls advised in good faith, "Stay here and team up with everyone. That's the safest way."
"There are more than a hundred Warriors who try to run through Yu Long Valley every year, but less than 10 people can pass through safely. You guys better think about it." Even the Silver Armoured Guard Captain who was guarding the entrance of Yu Long Valley advised Yue Yang not to be rash.
"You guys can stay …"
Yue Yang opened his mouth. He was testing Ye Kong and the others' reaction.
If Ye Kong and the Li Qie brothers hesitated, then Yue Yang would leave immediately and never trust them again. Even if they were hired, they had to maintain a sense of loyalty. Otherwise, he wouldn't hand over a mission to someone who hesitated in the face of difficulties. This world could have weaklings. Yue Yang didn't deny the status of weaklings, but he wouldn't choose weaklings as his companions, even if they were temporary companions.
Ye Kong and the others' reaction was resolute and resolute, "No, we're hired by you. As long as you make a decision, even if it means death, we'll carry it out."
The Li Qie brothers didn't say anything, but their resolute attitude had already shown everything.
Looking at Yue Yang and the others who were madly running towards Yu Long Valley, almost all the Warriors were shaking their heads, "These four idiots are dead for sure."
However, the Silver Armoured Guard Captain objected, "No, they might succeed."
Everyone didn't understand.
Towards this, the Silver Armoured Guard Captain said in an enigmatic tone, "Their eyes are very similar to those who have successfully passed in the past. They're all full of confidence."
"Nonsense, having confidence doesn't mean everything." All the Warriors were sweating profusely when they heard this.
"Having confidence doesn't mean success, but without confidence, you'll definitely fail." The Silver Armoured Guard Captain threw out another sentence.
"Cheh, who doesn't know how to talk big?" No one believed that Yue Yang and the others would be able to pass through Yu Long Valley safely. Everyone felt that these four fellows would at most run halfway and run out of energy. In the end, they would fall to the ground and become snacks for a large group of Demon Worms.
Two days later.
When the mercenaries had experienced a nightmarish battle, all of them had broken through the Yu Long Valley with injuries. When they arrived at the outskirts of the Star's Domain, they discovered that Yue Yang and the others, who had already died a long time ago, were lying comfortably under a big tree at the entrance of the Mercenary Guild, leisurely drinking iced ale. This result made them all dumbfounded, "You guys didn't die?"
"Do you think that dead people can drink?" Yue Yang was speechless.
He didn't think that running through Yu Long Valley was a difficult task at all. To Ye Kong, Li Qie and Li Ge, it might be life-threatening, but to an Innate Ranker like him, running through Yu Long Valley was no different from taking a stroll in his own courtyard. It was just that the distance was a little longer and the ground was a little more rugged.
As soon as Yue Yang arrived, he found out about Yue Bing's news in the Warrior Guild.
She was fine, her life was not in danger.
This little girl was currently going to the Star Domain's' Black Stone Labyrinth 'to complete her Trial Quest alone. It was estimated that she would need at least three days to come out. This made Yue Yang feel at ease, but at the same time, he felt extremely bored waiting.
"I've decided, I'll also go and participate in the Trial Quest." Yue Yang felt that it was too boring to live like this. On the first day he arrived, he toured the outskirts of the Star Domain. On the second day, he familiarized himself with the various information in the Tong Tian Tower's first floor. On the third day, he already had nothing to do. It was really unbearable. Unfortunately, there were still three days before Yue Bing could return. Hence, Yue Yang made a decision. He also wanted to participate in the Trial.
"What?" Ye Kong and the others, who had finally lived two good days with great difficulty, felt as if they had been struck by lightning when they heard this.
"Cough, cough. To participate in the Trial, you need at least one contracted beast. In the Star Domain, you must use beasts to pass the trial. It's useless even if you know martial arts. Beasts like Hui Tai Lang that have no contract cannot participate." Ye Kong originally didn't want to give Yue Yang a blow, but he had no choice. This was the cruel reality.
"Contracted beast? Who said that I don't have one? "Yue Yang was furious. He thought to himself, do you guys still think that I'm trash?
"Your beast is …" Ye Kong didn't have any hope at all. Because even a Bronze-ranked Ironback Demonic Wolf like Hui Tai Lang couldn't sign a contract, he reckoned that the number of beasts that Yue Yang could contract would be very few. Even if he could sign one, it would definitely be a very weak beast.
"Thorny Flower." When Yue Yang said this, everyone fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Using a Thorny Flower to pass the Trial of the Star Domain? This difficulty, my god, I'd rather run around Yu Long Valley naked ten times. "When everyone heard this, they all had the urge to bang their heads against the wall.
"What is difficulty? This is difficulty. "Ye Kong's face was full of tears.
