Chapter 1022: 1022

“What… what are these monsters?!”

The end of the valley was finally in sight . They could vaguely see some castle walls with countless lifeforms climbing over them .

Those lifeforms had upper bodies like humans, but lower bodies like lizards . They were three meters tall with scales covering their entire bodies .

They had human faces, but their mouths were strangely large, the tips almost reaching their ears . They had sharp teeth, and their pupils were vertical like an alligator’s . A long horn could be seen growing out of their foreheads .

Everyone’s pupils shrank upon seeing those lizard monsters . They sensed a fatal threat from each one of them .

Within the broken down castle in front of them, they also saw several huge light barriers . They were round, each covering a hundred-mile s.p.a.ce .

Just as they were bewildered by this sight, Su Mo’s voice rang out in the air, “This is the final step of the trial . These are the strongest monsters from the Devil World that you’ll face in the trial: Bloodthirsty Devil Lizards . Each one of them is extremely powerful, comparable to a late eighth rank Magical Beast . Furthermore, they have no obvious weak points . There’s no trick you can use, and the majority of you will die here…”

Hearing his emotionless words, everyone felt a chill . They could practically smell the bloodthirsty air coming from those lizard monsters .

At this time, Su Mo’s voice rang out once more, “However, this trial is not a path of absolute death . Within this abandoned castle, the Dao Sect has set up several forbidden regions . Those forbidden regions are the b.a.l.l.s of light you see . Each one of them contains an extremely powerful Bloodthirsty Devil Lizard . They are the trials for the commanders . Each faction can choose their strongest expert to challenge the monster inside the light barrier, and if they can kill it within a set amount of time, they will become a core disciple . Furthermore, a few breaths after they kill the monster within, the light barrier will fade . Once it fades, all the disciples in their faction will count as pa.s.sed and be transported to safety .

“Let me warn you, as soon as you enter the light barrier, the countdown will start . During this time, you cannot retreat from the light barrier or it will be viewed as giving up on the trial and will signify failure . That’s all I have to say . The rest is up to you . ”

“The Bloodthirsty Devil Lizards have arrived!”

A fearful shout rang out . People activated their Treasure items to attack the lizard monsters charging at them .

But they were horrified to find that the lizard monsters’ scales simply lit up, and their full-strength attacks were only able to knock them a few meters back . They weren’t injured at all .

“AHH!” A miserable scream rang out as a lizard monster charged its way into the Hegemon Hall, its claw knocking aside a disciple’s weapon and its other claw grabbing him . In the blink of an eye, it ate half of the disciple’s head, and his miserable scream had barely been released before it bit off the rest of his head .

That lizard monster chewed, releasing the chilly sound of bones crunching . Looking at its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth and its sharp teeth, the disciples were terrified .

“Everyone, listen! Tighten the battle formation . Dragonblood warriors, spread out to guard the outside . I’ll leave the flame dragon here to help you . These Bloodthirsty Devil Lizards are too strong, and there’s no time to study them . I will kill the monster inside as fast as possible . Just hang on . ”

Long Chen shot straight toward the castle . He could already tell that these lizard monsters had some kind of special defensive ability . Their scales seemed to be able to automatically release something similar to a defensive magical art .

He had personally seen that when others had activated the true forms of their Treasure items to attack, the scales on the lizards’ bodies had flashed for an instant, and the s.p.a.ce around them had twisted . Those people’s attacks had rebounded .

That was the most difficult thing . Their offense and defense were both so powerful, and their movements were nimble . There really weren’t any particular weak points to them . The only way to kill them was through absolute power .

Even the Dragonblood warriors would be in danger facing them one on one . As for the others, they were pale . These opponents were not ones they could fight simply by putting their lives on the line .

So Long Chen left behind Huo Long to help them while he rushed off . The others also shot over .

Hua s.h.i.+yu, Fan Song, Hu Guishan, Que Xinyan, and w.a.n.g Zhen all moved at practically the exact same time as Long Chen . They could all see that they were in a race against time .

Long Chen was surprised to see that Que Xinyan had also left behind his flame beast to protect his people . But very quickly, his pupils shrank .

Que Xinyan had summoned another flame beast . This flame beast was a giant leopard, and its aura was even stronger than his other flame beast .

“d.a.m.n, he actually subdued two kinds of Earth Flames? No wonder he’s such a poser, he really has the qualifications to do so . ” Although Long Chen looked down on Que Xinyan as a person, he had no choice but to admit that he was powerful .

In the Eastern Wasteland, he had never encountered anyone else in control of an Earth Flame . But here in the Central Plains, he immediately encountered someone with two Earth Flames, both of which were stronger than his Earth Flame . That made him sigh at the difference .
