Although Lu Ye hadn't been in the Asura Field for long and had only experienced one trial before, he could still keenly sense that something was wrong with the current situation.
What he was experiencing now was completely different from the first time he entered the trial scene.
Lu Ye's first thought was that there was something wrong with the Asura Field, but then he thought about it. The Asura Field was a Starry Sky treasure and had been maintained for tens of thousands of years before he came here. How could it be so easy for something to go wrong? Moreover, the timing was so coincidental. But if that wasn't the case, then how could the current situation be explained?
As his thoughts changed, the thick darkness suddenly faded and Lu Ye suddenly found that he could feel his own existence.
There was a faint light in front of him from a crack.
He blinked and raised his hand to push forward.
With a soft creak, light shone in front of him.
He took a few steps forward and in an instant, the fragrance of birds and flowers rushed to his face.
He turned his head to look around and found that this should be some kind of deep mountain forest. There were thick trees all around him with fluffy canopies like open umbrellas.
Not far in front of him was a sparkling lake, and the fragrance of grass mixed with the soil lingered at the tip of his nose.
He turned his head to look behind him and found that he had walked out of a straw hut.
The small straw hut in the middle of the mountain had a sense of being hidden in the wilderness.
It seemed that he had unknowingly entered the trial scene, but … why didn't he get any information or information about this scene?
Thinking back to his strange experience just now, Lu Ye felt that something was not right.
After a moment of thought, he raised his hand and took out the Asura Command. He immersed his mind into it, but there was no feedback.
What did this mean? Why did the Asura Arena throw him into such an obscure place? Then what was the mission of his training this time?
* Rumble … *
Just as Lu Ye was pondering, a soft sound suddenly came from his feet. He looked down and saw something the size of a baby's fist rolling on the ground. This thing looked extremely familiar.
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat. Knowing that this was bad, he quickly raised his foot and stepped on it!
He frowned and his whole body froze in place. His expression was tangled, and he looked like he had a deep grudge.
After a long while, he sighed. He knew that if it was a blessing, it wouldn't be a disaster. If it was a disaster, it couldn't be avoided. Only then did he slowly move his foot away and look down with narrowed eyes.
A large "Unlucky" character instantly appeared in his vision!
How could it be the word 'unlucky'?
Lu Ye moved quickly, using the sole of his foot to cover up the character, but it was useless. The character turned into a dark beam of light that pierced through the sole of his foot and into his forehead.
Lu Ye's heart sank, and he immediately had a bad feeling, as if his whole body was covered by a layer of invisible weight.
He removed his foot, bent down, picked up the object on the ground, and threw it into the lake in front of him.
It was a bad start!
Without any information or clues, he had no idea what he was supposed to do during this training. That was one thing, but the Dice of Fate had even added Bad Luck to him.
He clearly remembered that he had tied up the Dice of Fate and hung it at his waist. Moreover, the rope he had used was extremely tough, so it was impossible for it to break for no reason. But now, it had broken. Could it be that he was really unlucky this time?
In the treasure vault, he had personally witnessed a late-stage Moon Jade being killed by the power of the Asura Field's rules. Thus, Lu Ye knew that the Dice of Fate was an extremely mysterious thing. He didn't plan on casually using it again, especially in such a situation.
But now, it had fallen down on its own …
But thinking about it, was it better to be unlucky than to be unlucky? If the Dice of Fate really did turn out to be unlucky this time, Lu Ye didn't know what kind of danger he would encounter.
He immersed his mind and inspected his Talent Tree. Sure enough, a gray fog rose up from the Talent Tree, burning away the power of the Dice of Fate. But with his previous experience, Lu Ye knew that this process would continue for several days.
He secretly decided that he wouldn't go anywhere for the next few days. He would live here in seclusion to avoid any mishaps.
Moreover, looking at the environment in which he had appeared, it seemed that he really was a secluded expert.
Looking at the lake in front of him, Lu Ye sighed and jumped in. He had thrown away the Dice of Fate in a moment of anger. This thing was a supreme treasure, so how could he throw it away so casually?
Diving deep into the water, he easily found the Dice of Fate and stuffed it into his clothes.
But as soon as he emerged from the water, Lu Ye frowned. This was because two figures had appeared in front of his grass hut at some unknown time.
One was tall and the other was short. The tall one was like a bamboo pole, and the short one was like a round ball. Their appearances were indescribable. They didn't look like anything good.
As expected, he was really unlucky. Even if he decided to live here in seclusion for a few days, he still wouldn't be able to find peace.
At this time, these two uninvited guests were coldly sizing up Lu Ye. The tall one asked, "Boy, do you see an old guy with a child?"
"No," Lu Ye decisively replied.
The tall one seriously sized him up, as if trying to see if he was lying. But, Lu Ye really didn't see any old guy with a child. His expression was honest and sincere.
"Kill him." After saying this, the tall one took the lead and flew forward. He spread out his powerful divine sense, clearly searching for something.
The short cultivator rushed toward Lu Ye. Magic power surged from his body. He was actually a Moon Jade Intermediate Stage cultivator.
Lu Ye was helpless. He had already decided to live in seclusion for a few days and wait for the Talent Tree to resolve his bad luck. Why … did they have to force him?
This bad luck … Was it his bad luck, or was it the bad luck of these two uninvited guests? He really couldn't say for sure.
With a clang, a long saber was unsheathed.
The tall cultivator, who had already flown a distance away, suddenly turned his head back. His eyes suddenly narrowed. He actually saw the scene of his companion's head flying high into the air, while the young man who had just appeared from the lake was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, a sense of danger rose in his heart. The tall cultivator immediately looked to the side and saw a bright saber light.
With a splashing sound, Lu Ye passed by him. Blood spurted out from his body, and his bamboo-like body was cut in half, falling into the lake.
In the next instant, the lake's surface was dyed red.
Standing above the lake, Lu Ye swung the Mountain Plate Saber and sheathed it.
At that moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction. There was a sound coming from that direction. It seemed to be the crying of an infant.
He immediately rushed in that direction. In the blink of an eye, he arrived behind a large tree. Sure enough, he saw an infant in swaddling clothes.
At that moment, the infant was being held in the arms of an old man. Blood flowed from the old man's body, and a huge wound on his chest and abdomen could be seen. His five internal organs had already been pulverized.
His eyes were dim. If he wasn't strong enough, he would have already died from such injuries.
Lu Ye immediately thought of the tall cultivator's question. He understood that those two people hadn't found this place by chance. They had most likely chased after the old man and the infant.
Not only were the old man's injuries serious, but he also seemed to have been poisoned. This was because his face was black. Lu Ye couldn't help but think of the two cultivators from before. When they activated their magic power, they seemed to be surrounded by this aura.
Needless to say, the old man was injured by those two Yue Yao.
Lu Ye's sudden appearance caused the old man's dim eyes to tremble. However, when he saw that Lu Ye wasn't one of the two cultivators chasing after him, his eyes became much brighter. He shakily lifted the crying infant and said with difficulty, "Fellow Daoist, go … to the Cloud Radish … Sacred Ground!"
Lu Ye looked at him and a thought flashed through his mind.
This experience was different from the last time. He didn't obtain any useful information. However, at this moment, he encountered a dying man who had entrusted his child to him. Thinking about it, was sending this infant to the so-called Cloud Radish Sacred Ground his current mission?
If it was under normal circumstances, Lu Ye wouldn't hesitate. However, with his current bad luck, Lu Ye didn't know whether he should agree or not.
Without any time to think, the old man spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with pieces of his internal organs. Then, his head tilted to the side and he died on the spot.
The infant in his arms fell straight to the ground. He was already crying loudly, but now he cried even more fiercely.
Just as the infant was about to hit the ground, Lu Ye caught him with a single hand.
When he looked at the old man again, he had already turned into specks of light and disappeared. This made Lu Ye understand that this old man was undoubtedly a shadow.
The two Yue Yao he killed just now didn't seem to be shadows. He also didn't know where they came from.
Holding the infant in his arms, Lu Ye's face was filled with worry. This experience in the Asura Battlefield was really strange. Someone like him, who killed people like scything flax, actually had to escort an infant to the so-called Cloud Radish Sacred Ground.
In comparison, Lu Ye felt that killing people was much more enjoyable. Sure enough, this trip didn't go well. Bad luck was everywhere.
However, since this was a training mission, there was no reason to refuse. After all, it was related to obtaining the Asura Seal.
His plan to live in seclusion was ruined.
The infant's crying wasn't loud. Instead, he seemed to be weak. Lu Ye released his Divine Sense and quickly discovered that this was because the infant was too weak.
Looking at the infant's appearance, he seemed to be less than a month old. What kind of background did he have to attract the pursuit of two Yue Yao?
Then, the first thing he needed to do was … find something to eat for this child!
Thinking of this, Lu Ye leapt up. He didn't know where the Cloud Radish Sacred Ground was, so he could only choose a random direction.
Half a day later, in a small village at the foot of a mountain, Lu Ye stood at the door of a house. Next to him was a rough man squatting on the ground. From time to time, the man would glance at Lu Ye, his eyes filled with fear.
Inside the house, a woman held an infant in her arms and gently patted him. Her eyes were filled with kindness, and the sound of sucking and swallowing came from the infant's mouth.
Lu Ye felt that he wasn't too unlucky. It didn't take him much effort to find a woman who was breastfeeding. He handed the infant to her and asked for her help. The woman readily agreed. (End of Chapter)
