Chapter 412: Third Level (One)
Chapter 412: Third Level (One)
As soon as the third level began, the old pupils rushed separately towards the top of the mountain.
As soon as Yu Qing Qian and Che Tong Tong entered the mountain, they found that the pupils before them were blocked by a wave of vine-like demonic plants.
This type of demonic plant wasn’t very powerful in terms of offence, but its defence was very strong and very difficult to deal with. Once one was entangled by it, it took a lot of effort to get out.
The vine demonic plants continued to extend from the ground, automatically weaving into large nets to block the foot of the mountain.
The pupils ahead used various means to attack, including spiritual energy, fire attacks, freezing and such. Although they were effective, but it was very slow progress.
“These demonic plants are too difficult to deal with. I’d rather encounter a group of magical beasts like I did last year during the challenge, even if I get hurt, it’s better than fighting in such an annoying way like this.” An old pupil complained.
“Yeah! And this is just the foot of the mountain, who knows what kind of demonic plants we’d encounter up the mountain.”
“Let’s attack the same place together, this should get twice the result with half the effort.” A pupil suggested loudly to everyone.
The others also discovered that attacking independently was too slow, so they agreed to cooperate.
Although the demonic plants had strong defence, and were very difficult to deal with, but the pupils who had made it to the third level weren’t weak in strength. After attacking in unification, they still managed to break through.
Yu Qing Qian and Che Tong Tong didn’t act independently at first either, but instead joined forces with the other pupils to attack.
Walking not far away, there were once more demonic plants appearing one after another, either with strong defence or strong offensive power. The speed of the pupils going up the mountain also slowed down significantly.
However, when everyone joined forces to attack, the results were still pretty good.
After about half the time had passed, all the pupils who had joined together rushed to the position close to the peak of the mountain.
However, everyone was stunned by the scene ahead of them and stopped in their tracks.
At the bottom of the mountain peak, densely packed demonic plants were seen swaying continuously, and shrill screams echoed on the mountain.
Each demonic plant possessed the strength of a Spirit King. If one encountered a few alone, the pupils present could still kill them.
But now, looking around, one could only feel that there were various demonic plants in undulating layers, unable to be counted, and there were probably at least more than two thousand of them.
The total number of pupils who passed to the third level was only less than three hundred, which meant that the number of demonic plants was nearly ten times that of the number of pupils who broke through to this level. Even if the three Spirit Emperor pupils fell into the group of demonic plants, it was still possible for them to perish.
Even ants could bite elephants to death with numbers, let alone the fact that the strength of these demonic plants weren’t weak either, and they were even on their main battlefield. Whatever the case, it was the Red Peak’s pupils who suffered the biggest loss.
Not to mention the pupils who rushed to the top of the mountain, even the pupils from the Seven Peaks outside the Holy Land were amazed.
“The amount of these demonic plants is too considerable, even if they still joined forces and rushed forward together, it’d be difficult for them to pass.”
“If they charged together, even if they passed, they’d probably suffer numerous casualties. It’s better to charge separately, this level is too difficult.”
“Yeah! Have you noticed that those demonic plants all have spiritual intelligence? The front row is filled with the vine-type demonic plants with strong defence, followed by various offensive demonic plants. It’ll be very difficult to break through to the top of the mountain.”
“This time, the Red Peak’s levels are harder than ever! In the past, levels of this difficulty would’ve been set at the last level, but this is only the third level.”
“I wonder how difficult the next two levels would be, I’m even doubting whether there’d be ten pupils left to pass the final level.”
“The challenge in the Red Peak’s this difficult, the challenges on our other Peaks will probably be even harder this time than before.”
“Aye! Let’s see how they pass this level first, maybe they can take some shortcuts.”
“Let’s hope, there’ll definitely be someone who can rush to the top of the mountain.”
