Hei Loulan concentrated on the front, the group was advancing in the forest with difficulty.
The intense battle had already lasted for over six hours.
This was the second round, the air was hot and humid, and the terrain was a vast primitive rainforest.
To pass this round, Gu Masters had to cross the whole forest and reach the stone hall at the other end.
However, it was not easy to pass through this forest.
Although there were no beast groups in the forest, there were vast numbers of green vines.
These green vines coiled around the tall trees and accumulated on the damp ground. Every green vine was at least as thick as a bowl, and was at least seventy to eighty feet long.
Ordinary green vines were called green snake vines, and the vines were covered with smooth snake scales. When the Gu Masters got close, the vines would suddenly shoot out and coil around the Gu Masters like pythons, killing them.
In the surrounding hundred steps of the rainforest, there were about a thousand green snake vines, the density was extremely high.
It was extremely difficult for the Gu Masters to advance.
Along the way, green snake vines attacked from all directions; some shot down from the sky, some shot out from the ground, and some broke through the ground to attack, making it hard for the Gu Masters to defend against them.
As the Gu Masters advanced in the forest, they suffered the attacks of the green vines at all times, like they were in a vast sea of green vines.
The attacks of the green snake vines were heavy and powerful, but their movements were fast and fierce. Even more dangerous was that they often had wood path Gu worms on their bodies, and because of these Gu worms, the Gu Masters' group suffered great casualties.
"Report, a green snake vine king has been discovered ahead. Currently, Lord Ye Lui Sang has already fought with it. "After advancing for a while, an investigative Gu Master returned from the front and reported to Hei Loulan.
Hei Loulan nodded, continuing to move forward slowly.
In every green snake vine group, there was a green snake vine king with battle strength comparable to a rank four Gu Master.
But Ye Lui Sang was a rank five peak stage expert, the current tribe leader of a super force, Ye Lui tribe. His fire path cultivation was extremely effective against wood path Gu worms. He even had Ye Lui tribe's fire path supplementary Immortal Gu. Taking care of a green snake vine king. It was not a problem.
Sure enough, after a while, a report came from the front: "Lord Ye Lui Sang has successfully gotten rid of the green snake vine king and has retreated. Lord Chang Shan Yin has taken over and is leading the wolf group to open the way."
"Mhm," Hei Loulan replied calmly.
The wolf pack was good at attacking but not good at defending, so it was not easy to deal with the vines. But in Chang Shan Yin's hands. There were also wolves like the turtleback wolf that were good at defense. There was also the vermillion flame wolf which had fire path Gu worms on its body, in this situation, it could be said to be a great tool to open up the path.
"The Wolf King is very powerful and can be considered the number one combat power. Especially when he had a flying bear phantom Immortal Gu. Hei Loulan pondered as she walked.
"Flying bear phantom Gu and flying bear strength Gu, if the two are used together, it would be perfect. Hmph, let Chang Shan Yin work for me first, when the time is ripe, I will make him hand over that flying bear phantom Gu! As long as I become a Gu Immortal, wouldn't a mere Wolf King be at my mercy? "
"This is the second test. It seemed to be a test of a Gu Master's endurance, but it was actually a test of investigative ability. In the dense forest, there were not only Green Snake Vines but also Green Serpent Vines. The Green Serpent Vine was ten times more powerful than the Green Serpent Vine. It was a strange beast among plants! The route we chose avoided these Green Serpent Vines as much as possible. Only one or two areas were the territories of the Green Serpent Vines. I am sure there will be one or two tough battles, but this is also the greatest difficulty of this trip. "
Hei Loulan felt proud in his heart: "We are getting closer to the end. According to this speed, we will be able to pass this round in another hour! "
Just as he was thinking this, a sudden change occurred.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh …
The Green Serpent Vines around the group suddenly burst out, piercing through the air with incredible speed. There was even the sound of arrows piercing through the air!
The vines' offense suddenly increased by tens of times.
The previous battles were between the Gu Masters and the nearby Green Serpent Vines, the vines outside the range were still. They did not move.
But now, the green vines within a hundred li, no, a thousand li, had all joined the battle, surging up and creating a tsunami like wave, crazily pouncing towards the Gu Masters.
The Gu Masters were caught off guard and immediately suffered disastrous losses. Countless Gu Masters were sacrificed on the battlefield in a short period of time.
"How can this be? The Green Serpent Vines suddenly went berserk! "The experts shouted in shock.
"Quick, save me!" The Gu Masters at the periphery were wantonly killed by the green vines.
"I order the entire army to attack, don't care about expenditure, block them for me! If you don't block them, you will die!! "Hei Loulan shouted, rising into the air and trying to control the situation.
But soon, over a hundred Green Serpent Vines flew into the air and attacked.
Hei Loulan roared in anger, using a dark path method, killing twenty to thirty Green Serpent Vines on the spot before descending to the ground.
But the ground was not safe either, countless Green Serpent Vines and Green Serpent Vines broke out of the ground, causing the entire army to fall into chaos.
"How can this be? We clearly scouted this place, why would we encounter Green Serpent Vines here? "Hei Loulan's eyes were about to split open, unable to understand!
Green Serpent Vines were extremely territorial. But as long as their territory was not invaded, they would be quiet and would not attack.
But these Green Serpent Vines went berserk, attacking the Gu Masters as if they had seen their father's murderer.
Green Serpent Vines had strong vitality, even if they were cut into five to six pieces by the Gu Masters, these five to six pieces could still bite back at the Gu Masters before dying. Hei Loulan even saw many Green Serpent Vines breaking free from their roots and attacking.
"How can this be? What is going on?! "Hei Loulan could not understand, these Green Serpent Vines breaking off their own roots was equivalent to killing themselves.
All living beings had the instinct to survive.
What kind of hatred was there for them to launch such a desperate suicidal attack?
The army was split into several pieces, each fighting their own battles, the Gu Masters retreated step by step, and for a moment, countless soldiers died.
"Could it be that the second stage is actually a huge trap?! This is too strange, this is only the second round, why is the difficulty so high?! "Hei Loulan was dumbfounded, a huge doubt rising in her heart.
This was indeed a huge trap.
But the one who set this trap was not 88 Point Zhenyang Tower, but Fang Yuan who controlled this floor.
He first restrained himself and mobilized the Green Serpent Vines in the round, secretly moving them over. Then he accepted the order and joined the vanguard, taking turns to attack from time to time, purposely lowering his speed and stalling for time.
When large numbers of Green Serpent Vines were mobilized, Fang Yuan did not hesitate. He immediately launched a sneak attack.
The Gu Master army was ambushed and suffered a huge loss!
Fang Yuan was an enslavement master, the Green Serpent Vines that had even lower intelligence than beast groups, under his command, cooperated with each other and did not care about sacrifices, erupting with a terrifying battle strength that was a hundred times stronger!
Especially experts like Hei Loulan, Ye Lui Sang and Tai Bai Yunsheng. He even specially mobilized Green Serpent Vines that could rival mutated beasts to stop them.
"Retreat, let's retreat."
"There are Green Serpent Vines everywhere, if this goes on, the casualties will be even worse!"
"Lord Hei tribe leader, our tribe leader requests to retreat!"
Several large tribes urgently sent representatives.
Anyone could see it. They had fallen into the ambush of the Green Serpent Vines. No one had the time to think about the reason why the Green Serpent Vines became so sinister and vicious.
Hei Loulan gritted his teeth, a struggling expression appeared on his face as he squeezed out a word: "Retreat!"
He also knew that the battle situation had gone out of control, the Green Serpent Vines were not afraid of death and had already penetrated deep. This caused the formation to become chaotic. All the experts were afraid of injuring their own people and were restrained.
If the casualties were so severe in the second round, how would Hei Loulan have the strength to go and snatch the final round's Immortal Gu?
Retreating was a wise move, but it depended on whether Fang Yuan would allow it or not.
He controlled this floor, it was a small matter for him to close the entrance and exit.
Soon, everyone was shocked to find out. They could not get out!
This discovery had a huge impact on their morale.
The entire army was on the verge of collapsing.
At the crucial moment, Hei Loulan sensed something amiss and stood up, his voice echoing over a thousand li: "Hold on, I am going to use grey meltdown killer move. Forcefully break through this round. Persevere is victory, persevere is survival!! "
The Gu Masters who were in desperate straits heard these words and were like drowning people grabbing onto a life-saving straw.
The morale that had fallen to rock bottom. In the end, it did not completely collapse, but stabilized.
The experts immediately fought hard and reopened the passage, allowing all the divisions to form a connection.
Under the heavy encirclement of the army, Hei Loulan led a group of refinement path Gu Masters and formed a circular formation, activating grey meltdown killer move.
"Lord, if we forcefully activate it, we might lose thirty percent of our people." An old refinement path Gu Master who was familiar with the inside information had a pale complexion as he softly advised Hei Loulan.
Grey meltdown killer move naturally had its limitations.
The killer move relied on coordination from the inside and outside, this required — the round's reward had to be a Gu worm purposely released by Hei tribe's Gu Immortals or Xue Song Zi.
But 88 Point Zhenyang Tower would not cooperate, it would only choose suitable Gu worms from the absorbed Gu worms to refine and form the round.
The first round's reward was a Gu worm from Hei Bai. Thus, Hei Loulan could use grey meltdown killer move and use the gap that Giant Sun's will had yet to completely refine to forcefully refine the Gu worm. This way, the first round would be passed with the reward in hand.
But the second round's reward was a wild Gu. Hei Loulan could not communicate with these wild Gu, thus grey meltdown killer move could not be used.
He could only obediently follow the requirements of the second round and complete it.
But now that the situation was critical, Hei Loulan could only forcefully activate grey meltdown killer move and directly skip the second round, communicating with the third round's reward Gu worm.
The third round's reward Gu worm came from Xue Song Zi. The Gu worm was half refined, but most of it was still Xue Song Zi's will.
Hei Loulan had already cooperated with Xue Song Zi, and Xue Song Zi's will had acknowledged him. He could use grey meltdown to communicate with the third round's reward Gu worm and refine it.
This way, the third round would be passed. Once the third round was passed, the second round would have no foundation and would collapse. Because when 88 Point Zhenyang Tower condensed every floor, it would first form the hundredth floor, then the ninety-ninth floor, the ninety-eighth floor …
But if Hei Loulan did this, grey meltdown killer move's power would increase by several times, far surpassing the refinement path Gu Masters' endurance.
Regardless of success or failure, a portion of refinement path Gu Masters would not be able to endure it and die on the battlefield.
"Dozens of refinement path Gu Masters dying is better than the entire army suffering disastrous casualties!" Hei Loulan gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with callousness. The situation forced him to choose the lesser of two evils.
