Nausica's eyes turned gloomy.
Even a wizard-level item had been revealed in this battle for the purification garden. It seemed like there was more to this than meets the eye. It was getting more and more unrealistic for her to rely on brute force to survive. Perhaps, the key to survival was her quick reflexes and a little bit of luck.
Of course, if one was strong enough to defeat ten people with brute force, they wouldn't need to worry about such details.
The winged woman hovered in the air for half a circle. The aura of her wizard-level wings was like a mountain, making it hard for people to breathe.
"She's … Maine from Elysium!" Someone recognized the newcomer and spoke with a trembling voice.
Maine didn't linger in the air for long. Instead, she slowly landed in the center of the crowd. Out of instinct, everyone moved away from her. Those wizard-level wings were too intimidating for them to approach.
She didn't say anything after landing on the ground. Instead, she retracted her wings and glanced at Jebra on the other side.
At the same time, Jebra also looked at Angor from a distance of almost a thousand meters.
"I'll kill you in the Purification Garden." Maine rolled her eyes. She looked seductive, but her words were filled with murderous intent.
"I'll be waiting." Jebra chuckled as he played with the little whales circling around him.
Maine humphed and hopped onto the top of a nearby tree without saying a word.
Following that, the number of apprentices who walked in through the metal door decreased. Most of them leaped over the tall metal wall and landed in the valley with elemental waves or imposing auras.
Especially when the ten apprentices wearing the same silver-white uniform descended from the sky, everyone turned to look at them.
Because they came out directly from the inside of the metal wall, they could vaguely see the shadow of the Mechanical Beast Emperor Lawson through the shadowy door.
"Why is Mister Beast Emperor here?" "They're all geniuses from Floating Mech City!" "That's Deira!" "Why are they here?"
They were the ten core apprentices sent out by Floating Mech City this time. They were the chosen ones who would survive until the end and obtain the final law of purification.
They didn't seem to care about the others at all. To them, these people were just small fries who were paving the way for them. Of course, there were also people they couldn't ignore, such as Jebra and Maine.
After the ten apprentices landed, they each took a side. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, as if he didn't care about the world.
In the following period of time, all kinds of people came.
There was a green wanderer with a bow and arrow on his back, a graceful woman with flowers and butterflies around her as she walked, a short and fat monster covered in marsh algae, and a man with closed eyes who held a bird clock in his hand …
The arrival of these people caused the atmosphere to become even more silent.
It wasn't that they didn't want to make a ruckus, but that they didn't dare to. The strength of these people completely exceeded their imagination.
There were even a few people who came. Not only did the eyes of the elite acolytes who occupied the empty space flash with solemnity, but even the sorcerer enforcers in the sky slightly raised their eyebrows.
Because there were more and more elite apprentices, the space occupied by the others started to shrink. The unluckiest ones among them were the ordinary apprentices, but they had nothing to say. They couldn't beat them, so in order not to cause trouble for themselves, they could only endure it. They began to consciously gather to the left, leaving the right side of the valley to the elite apprentices with a small stream as the boundary.
However, as more and more geniuses showed up, many apprentices began to have doubts.
These geniuses were rarely seen in public. Why would they gather here for a simple purification garden?
More importantly, there were even level-3 apprentices among them!
What could a purification garden do to level-3 apprentices? Did they come here for some other purpose?
Everyone began to have doubts in their minds. When someone tried to sneak away but was stopped by a group of acolytes on duty, they began to get angry.
But no matter how angry they were, they couldn't do anything in front of the thunderous enforcers. The enforcers in the sky picked a dozen of them, chopped off their limbs, and hung them on the surrounding cliffs. "No one is allowed to leave. Anyone who leaves will die!"
"What the hell is going on? Didn't you say purification? Why are you restricting our freedom?! "
"Isn't Floating Mech City a neutral organization? Are you trying to start a war with the major organizations?"
No matter what they said, the enforcers in the sky didn't care at all. If anyone dared to make a move, they would use their wizard-level aura to suppress them, preventing them from moving.
Plus, there were several "human sticks" still dripping with blood. Everyone began to panic.
Why didn't Floating Mech City allow them to leave? Was there something fishy going on?
At this moment, someone with a wicked sense of humor sent a message to the acolytes …
"Blood sacrifice! The people from the purification garden are going to sacrifice us! "Screams and tears began to spread like a virus.
At first, they thought it was fake news. But when they saw the enforcers in the sky ignoring them, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be true?
No one knew why the garden wanted to sacrifice them. But if that was the case, wouldn't everyone here be turned into a sacrifice? Without a doubt, they would all die!
Panic, fear, fear … But no one dared to yell or scream. Those who tried to resist were still hanging on the cliffs with broken limbs and bleeding profusely.
The valley fell into silence again. But this time, it wasn't because of the strength of the elite apprentices. It was because they were afraid.
They still had a glimmer of hope. Those elite apprentices were either strong or had powerful backgrounds. If they could lead the other apprentices to fight back, they might still have a chance.
But when they looked at the other side of the river, they all went silent.
On the right side of the river, the other elite apprentices were minding their own business. They didn't care about them at all. They simply looked at them with cold eyes and even mocked them.
At this moment, everyone understood.
The elite apprentices must have known about this already. They were the idiots who were kept in the dark.
Of course, there were also some apprentices who didn't know better. Among the regular apprentices, there were also some who were as strong as the elite apprentices. Just like Nausica, they all waited patiently for the garden to open.
"Don't be sad. If the elite apprentices are willing to stay here and try to get into the garden, there must be something we don't know yet. There's a great danger ahead, but there must be a great opportunity!"
Maybe it was to comfort themselves, or maybe it was the will to survive in this desperate situation, but this idea quickly spread among the apprentices.
Everyone quieted down again and waited for the garden to open.
Inside the valley, it was much quieter for a moment. Only the low whispers were still spreading in the valley.
Snowflakes were fluttering in the air.
More and more people gathered in the valley. The distance between the elite apprentices on the right side of the river used to be hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters. But as more and more elite apprentices arrived, the distance between them was shortened to a hundred meters or even a few dozen meters.
Nausica estimated the number to be at least five digits. But judging from the way the crowd was pushing against each other, it was probably close to six digits.
"Fewer and fewer people are coming in. Looks like the main event is about to begin." Shan put on a serious expression. "But why aren't those Supreme Cult madmen here yet?"
As soon as Shan's voice fell, a group of people in black robes appeared in unison.
"They won't come if you don't tell them." Shan pursed her lips. "You should've just kept it to yourself."
The Supreme Cult's arrival made the atmosphere even more tense. Saladin saw Gank as soon as he landed on the ground. His eyes turned bloodshot, but he didn't go up to him right away since there were so many law enforcers in the sky. Instead, he glared at Shan and finally fixed his gaze on Shiliew, who was still sleeping.
"What are you looking at, Saladin?" A cold voice came from behind him.
"Nothing." Saladin lowered his head.
The man glanced at Gank's direction and humphed. "A barbarian from another world. What a disgusting smell. After entering the purification garden, if you encounter it, remember to kill it. "
Saladin didn't like the idea. He would kill the barbarian, but he didn't want to be ordered around by someone else. But he didn't say anything to the man in front of him. He just nodded.
Not long after the Supreme Cult's arrival, they heard someone running outside. "Hey, Whitey! Brother Hermes, hurry up and catch up! "
A naughty boy who looked no more than ten years old rushed in on a white rhinoceros. Behind him was a young man. However, the man he called Hermes was eagerly following beside a bronze-skinned woman.
"Tana, I've already left a psychic mark on Alan. Don't worry, I'll find him as soon as we enter the purification garden. I'll make sure to bring him out safely." Hermes's eyes were filled with amazement as he looked at his childhood sweetheart, Tana. Tana's body was bronze-skinned, and her body was curvaceous. Hermes's heart, which had been restrained for many years, was beating fast.
"How about I leave a mark on you too? I'll bring Alan to you. You're a girl, after all. You need my protection … "
Before Hermes could finish his words, Little Urchin, who was sitting on the back of the rhinoceros, sneered, "Forget it, Hermes. Haven't you been taught a lesson by Sister Tana? You're not strong enough to protect others. Why don't you leave him to me, Tana? "
"Rocky, you're the one who understands." Tana giggled for a moment, "But I don't need you to protect me. Just take care of Alan. That brat only knows how to eat and sleep every day. He hasn't even learned all the basic tricks. He's such a weakling. I don't know why the mentor let him in."
Alan pinched his chubby hands and didn't argue with Tana.
"Alright, leave Alan to me! As long as he roasts meat for me, I'll make sure he'll be fine! "Rocky laughed.
The group of people walked into the valley and attracted the attention of the crowd. Compared to the solemn expressions of the others, their laughter was quite unique. However, everyone knew that those who dared to joke at this time were definitely not to be trifled with.
Rocky and his group walked to the right side of the river. The elite apprentices on the right side didn't say anything when they saw them. Instead, they quietly made way for them.
It was obvious that their strength was worthy of their relaxed attitude.
However, they did not know that on their way to the right, a hooded black-robed man in the crowd suddenly exclaimed and said with a slightly hesitant and uncertain voice, "That person … is Allen?"
