942 Layer upon layer of doubts (2/2)
They had already met a level three world esper now. It was obvious that with one shout, his underlings would charge in. Is there any situation worse than this?
No!
In that case, why not give it a try?
”Alright, then we will give it a try.” Liu Ping looked at Kintaro, ”Whatever trial is it, come and let us see.”
”Now, that's the right attitude.” Kintaro smiled, ”Everyone, let's go!”
Boom!
Kintaro waved his paw.
Endless golden light flashed. Within the hall, the patterns on the surrounding walls suddenly started to rotate. The huge roulette pattern under everyone's feet also began to slowly rotate. One could see a touch of golden light escaping from the gaps.
The golden light suddenly intensified.
Buzz~
When everyone's vision was restored, the surrounding scene had already changed.
Looking around, one could see yellow sand everywhere. The hot temperature seemed to bake the ground. Under such high temperature, one could even see the air twisting.
”We're out?”
Everyone was stunned.
A world esper knelt down and touched the sand, ”It doesn't look like an illusion.”
”What do you think?” Liu Ping looked at Su Hao.
”Two possibilities.” Su Hao sounded as calm as ever, ”First, this is an illusion created by Kintaro. Second, this is the second part of Huangliang Despairs.”
”Why can't it be we were sent out?” That world esper said in an annoyed tone, ”This is clearly not an illusion.”
”I am just analyzing the possibilities.” Su Hao shook his head, ”As for why we're not sent out, that's because... the shield is still here.”
Everyone came to their senses. Having a closer look, that was really the case.
The shield was still present.
Then, they were still within Huangliang Despairs. If the first possibility was denied, then this place isn't an illusion, so this would be the second part of Huangliang Despairs.
Desert.
After the main hall, the next place actually turned out to be a desert?
How could this place be a trial?
Su Hao suddenly recalled Kintaro. Yes, in the end, he still underestimated the degree of that guy's laziness. Not only was he too lazy to fight against them, but he was also too lazy to move. What's with that nonsense trial, this was simply letting everyone pass.
”If this is the second part, then that wolf...” Someone was reminded of this issue.
”Not sure.” Su Hao shook his head, ”This is one of two doubts regarding Huangliang Despairs. First, where did the members of Nine Snakes go? Second, why did Kintaro help us?”
”Since when did he help us?” Someone grumpily protested, ”It was so obvious that he just threw us out.”
”For a wolf, not attacking us is already considered a help.” Su Hao sneered.
Many people came to a realization.
Yes.
No matter what, Kintaro is a wolf. However, he didn't attack them but sent them out of the hall instead. No matter which angle they looked from, that didn't seem right. Wasn't he afraid that Su Hao and the others would kill other wolves? Or perhaps, he didn't care at all to begin with?
Each step they took, a new doubt would appear.
Su Hao's thoughts were moving like electricity.
Last time in Taihu Territory, as long as one killed all the way down the path, that would be fine. What they needed to worry about was surviving the disasters because there was nothing else.
And now...
Nine Snakes.
Wolves!
Those two powerful enemies were hidden in the dark. No matter how one looks at them, it was clearly not a great occasion. This time, Huangliang Despairs would be even harder.
Nine Snakes, wolves, the exploration team...
This time, it was destined for a battle between these three forces.
”Don't worry about it too much.” Liu Ping gave an order, ”Since we passed that wolf, we will continue to move forward. Under this Great Despair, opportunities are always hidden within a crisis.”
”Grasp it. Maybe you can raise another level.”
”Yes.”
Everyone's eyes lit up.
In the desert, this group of people moved forward once again.
This was an endless desert. One need not worry of a giant wolf's attack here because of the clear visibility, so there was no need to fear a sneak attack. However, based on Su Hao's knowledge, the most terrifying thing about a desert probably isn't a beast, but...
The natural crisis in a desert!
From his experience in Taihu Territory, in a Great Despair, the difficulty of a natural crisis would be increased by a lot!
”Be careful.” Su Hao roughly reminded everyone.
”What's there to be afraid of?!”
A few world espers obviously didn't care. They were already in the world realm, which place had they not gone to before? Whatever nature, after they became world espers, everything was a joke!
What they feared were those world realm giant wolves!
”Speed up!”
Those world espers exclaimed, ”After this desert, maybe there will be another stone statue...”
Before that sentence finished, they suddenly noticed a terrified look from their companions. Then, everyone quickly avoided their position.
”What happened?”
