After all, before he had divined his fate, Haili Chenguang had followed behind Shentu Weiran. Otherwise, with his cultivation of the seventh or eighth level of Qi Condensation, how could he have passed through the two passes unscathed?
That was why he only needed to spread out his divine sense to come to this conclusion.
The person who had brought so many trial takers to this mountain path was undoubtedly Shentu Weiran.
However, it was different from the lively scene of them standing next to the beast horde and cheering for Shentu Weiran.
Now, these trial takers who had relied on the strength of an expert to pass through the first half of the trial without any difficulty all had strange expressions on their faces.
Apart from a few who had ill intentions towards Zhen Xiaoxiao.
The remaining people either had ashen faces, or expressions of righteous indignation, or simply lay sprawled on the ground, staring at the sky with their eyes wide open. It was as if their willpower had suffered a destructive blow.
What was going on?
When the Black Sand Poison Centipede reached the beast pass, Zhen Xiaoxiao's expression darkened.
The fifth trial he was about to face was a group of Nine Eyed Wild Scorpions.
These beasts had a fiery temper. Although they were not as aggressive as the Long Chen Bees, as long as an intruder dared to step into their territory, they would not rest until they were dead.
Furthermore, what was even more terrifying than the Long Chen Bees were the black beasts hiding in the trees and crevices. Every one of them was at least at the tenth level of Qi Condensation, and every twenty of them had a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In order to ensure their own safety, an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator would probably be exhausted in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Not to mention the huge risk of being attacked by beast generals and beast kings while crossing the entire pass.
Looking into the distance.
There seemed to be a person trekking through the sand.
From the wild hair behind him, Haili Chenguang recognized Shentu Weiran's back.
Different from his previous image of massacring the beast horde, this time Shentu Weiran was very careful. He suppressed his pressure to the extreme and opened the path with his bare hands. His movements were quick and simple, seeking to end the battle quickly!
What he had been worried about had finally happened.
It was not just Shentu Weiran.
The young masters of the twenty-four sects who had crossed the four passes all made a similar choice.
From opening the path boldly to keeping a low profile.
They mercilessly abandoned the cultivators who followed them along the way in the middle of the first round.
Only then did these fanatical followers realize that they seemed to have missed out on something important.
In the first three passes, there were many low-level beasts to choose from.
But now, facing the Nine-eyed Wild Scorpion army, they were powerless.
If he wanted to defeat one of them on his own, he would have to deal with the interference and attacks of ten or even twenty or thirty poisonous beasts at the same time.
Without the protection of a high level magic treasure, without the support of a main battle soul beast, this was simply an impossible problem!
What to do?
Berating Shentu Weiran for being sinister and shameless?
There was no point in cursing. After all, from the beginning to the end, he did not make any promises to his followers.
Should he go back and look for low-level beasts to form a contract with his own beasts?
Sure.
However, more than two days had passed since the start of the competition. No matter how fast they were on their feet, making a round trip would mean wasting nearly four days of time. If they were to start all over again, how confident were they that they would be able to make it to the assembly point in the remaining six days?
Most of the people who had made the difficult choice had their own contract beasts. Even if there were no experts opening the path, after trekking through the relatively safe Forbidden Mountain Range, sixty to seventy percent of them would be able to successfully complete the mission after ten days.
Those who had made the easy choice suddenly realized that they had been eliminated in advance and immediately fell into great despair.
