Chapter 86: Summer
A few days later, in the Treasure Forest.
The Treasure Forest, as its name suggested, was a forest that hid treasures. It could be Magic Stones, potions, precious materials, or even Wizard tools.
The number and location of the treasures were updated in real-time, and they could change at any time.
At this moment, on a narrow path in the Treasure Forest, Heath was walking forward while looking at the location of the treasure chest on the map in his hand.
He had actually seen the location of the treasure chest on the map a few times over the past few days, but because it was a long distance away, if he went to look for it, he would need to take a detour, so he didn’t pay any attention to it.
But just now, he found that a treasure chest had appeared on the path he was walking on, so he decided to take a look.
Soon, he came to the vicinity of the treasure chest.
However, when he arrived here, he could not help but frown slightly.
He could feel the obvious elemental and spiritual fluctuations in the air. It was obviously a reaction to casting a spell, and it did not come from the same target.
He thought for a moment, turned the Ghost Ring on his hand, summoned the Ghost Scout, and leaned over.
The invisible Ghost Scout successfully arrived at the location of the treasure chest.
It was an empty space. On the empty space, there was a treasure chest. Around the treasure chest, more than ten Apprentices were fighting. The cloaks on their bodies came from different Wizard organizations in the Underdark Treesea, and dazzling spells were flying back and forth.
Their strength was between low-level and low-level, and there was not even a middle-level one.
“Jessica? Jenny?”
Among them, Heath unexpectedly found two familiar figures. They were Jessica and Jenny, who entered the Tower the same time as him. In front of them stood a blue water elemental giant. It was the elemental life form that Jessica had summoned.
The two of them were currently fighting against the other Apprentices with their backs against each other.
In the past two years, there had been more Apprentices who had advanced to the low level, including the two of them. At this time, the two of them were cooperating with each other and fighting side by side. Therefore, they were relatively comfortable in this chaotic battle.
While Heath was observing, two Apprentices had been turned into stone statues by the two of them. If they continued, they might really win.
However, at this moment, an Apprentice suddenly shouted, “Kill the Shadow Tower first!”
This voice seemed to have some magic power, and the chaotic battlefield suddenly became quiet.
Everyone exchanged looks and stopped fighting. They surrounded Jessica and the other two and pointed their wands at them.
“Kill the Shadow Tower first!”
“Kill the Shadow Tower first!”
As if they had found an outlet to vent their emotions, the Apprentices’ facial expressions were surprisingly identical.
The two of them, who were surrounded in the middle, instantly turned pale. Their strength was not much stronger than the Apprentices present. They could rely on their teamwork to gain an advantage in a chaotic battle, but if they were surrounded, they would have no chance of winning.
Just as the trial of the two was about to end in failure, at this moment…
Dong!
A muffled sound came from outside the field.
Everyone turned their heads in unison, only to see a figure suddenly jump down from the tree trunk outside the battlefield.
Black hair, black cloak, black cross-shaped sword.
Jessica and Jenny’s eyes lit up.
An Apprentice who did not know anything immediately said, “Who are you? We are surrounding and killing Shadow Tower!”
Heath replied, “I am from Shadow Tower.”
Clang!
A loud sword chime sounded, and the battle once again drew the curtains.
What was Heath? He was a terrifying existence who had participated in several wars and had made outstanding battle achievements in the meat grinder.
There was no need to mention his own physical strength. He had the strength of a Knight at the peak of the three-dimensional attributes and was proficient in battle magic.
Even if his magic strength was suppressed to the level of a middle-level Apprentice, he was still more than one level stronger than these crooked fellows.
The two sides were not on the same level at all.
The moment Heath joined the battlefield, he was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. With a few sword strikes, he had chopped these Apprentices into pieces in the blink of an eye.
Their spells were not even worth mentioning when they were used on Heath’s Mimicry Shield.
Soon, the chaotic forest was cleared up.
The Apprentices died and ran away, leaving only the stone sculptures, Jenny, and Jessica on the ground.
The two little Witches were standing on the grass in a daze, staring at Heath with their eyes wide open. There was only shock in their eyes.
Although they had always known that Heath was very strong, they had never thought that he would be so strong to such a terrifying extent.
Although they had support in the battle just now, their little support was not even worth mentioning. This group of Apprentices was basically all defeated by Heath alone.
One against more than a dozen, and he was actually unharmed. It was obvious that he was still able to handle it with ease.
On the other side, Heath picked up the scattered Magic Stone pockets on the ground and walked over to ask: “You two, are you okay?”
The two Witches seemed to have woken up from a dream.
Jessica said in surprise, “God! Heath, you’re too strong!”
Jenny said, “So… So powerful!”
Heath shrugged. “Compared to the battlefield, this is nothing.”
At least here, there was no need to worry about life-threatening dangers.
Then, the two sides talked about the experiences of the trial over the past few days.
Unlike Heath, Jessica and Heath were directly teleported to the Moonlight Forest in the middle of the sixth floor after entering the secret realm. The span was much greater than Heath’s.
After knowing that Heath had come up from the seventh floor, the two girls were once again surprised.
“What did you say? You came up from the seventh floor?”
Heath nodded.
After receiving a definite answer, Jenny could not help but ask, “How could you be so fast?”
They had only left the Moonlight Forest after walking for so many days.
Heath replied casually, “I kept walking without stopping.”
Indeed, there was no special technique along the way. He just kept walking forward.
There was no special reason for Jessica and Jenny to walk slowly. It was just that they took a detour to look for the treasure chest a few times, which took a lot of time.
As he answered Jessica’s question, Heath could not help but think.
There should be a purpose and meaning to the trial, right?
Then…
What was the purpose of this Apprentice Trial?
To test the combat ability of the Apprentices? It did not seem to be entirely true. After all, he had not even experienced a single battle on the entire seventh floor.
Heath recalled the rule that Wizard Slater had issued before entering the arena. It was to let them walk all the way to the end, and the one who walked the furthest would win.
He did not even mention the one who walked all the way to the end. Could it be that no one could walk all the way to the end?
There was also that hourglass.
Previously, it was said that once the sand in the hourglass finished flowing, it would be considered a failure. However, up until now, there were still quite a number of sand particles in the hourglass, and they were even increasing…
‘Forget it, it’s useless to think so much. Let’s head towards the finish line first.’
Shaking his head, Heath threw these questions to the back of his mind. In any case, as the trial progressed, he believed that these questions would be answered as well.
Following that, Heath and the other two opened the treasure chest. Jessica directed the water elemental giant to open it. When they opened it, they also encountered a defensive spell. It was an ice arrow that hit the water elemental giant.
This elemental life form, which had the attributes of an intermediate Knight, was instantly destroyed.
After the treasure chest was opened, there was a bottle of Transfiguration Water inside. This was a magic potion that could enhance the effects of transfiguration. It was effective for Apprentices who learned transfiguration. The price was around 600 Magic Stones.
Jenny happened to have learned transfiguration in the team, so according to the rules of a Wizard expedition, she gave 200 Magic Stones to Heath and Jessica each to buy this bottle of Transfiguration Water.
Then, the three of them continued on their journey.
…
On the other side, by the entrance of the lake.
At this moment, there were nearly 100 Apprentices on the lakeside. They were all eliminated due to failure in the trial, and now they were sitting on the river bank with dejected expressions.
Witch Cassandra frowned and said unhappily, “Although it’s said that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear a heavy burden, but these guys are too impolite.”
Among the nearly 100 Apprentices on the lakeside, more than a dozen Apprentices were eliminated from Shadow Tower, which was a little high.
…
In the next few days, Heath and the others encountered a few more battles, and without exception, they were all pierced through by Heath.
In fact, among all the Apprentices in the entire Underdark Treesea, his current strength could only be said to be above average. Even if he did not hide his strength, there were many who could defeat him.
However, if his age was limited to below 20 years old, there really would not be many people who could be his opponent…
The name of the black-haired genius of the Shadow Tower did not come for nothing.
They rampaged through the road and three days later, the three of them arrived at a narrow valley.
The map showed that the name of this valley was the Checkpoint Valley. After passing through this place, they would arrive at a flat land and arrive at the end of the sixth level.
However, at the entrance of the valley, they encountered trouble…
