Chapter 265 - Chapter 265: Chapter 255 Path of the Dead (2/2)

Byrne couldn’t help but look at the people around him and noticed that Chris and Aldrich were constantly gesturing for silence, warning those nearby.

It was clear that in this world, one absolutely must not speak; one had to maintain a state of tranquility.

They had stepped onto the Path of the Dead!

The group kept moving forward on the white Path of the Dead, trying to find the exit from this realm of the dead to reality. However, it seemed that their surroundings never changed; everything remained so peaceful and tranquil.

Suddenly, Byrne had a feeling. Since the Path of the Dead was the place for the trials of the Words of Tranquility Order, then there must be obstacles and dangers!

They might encounter some horrific monsters!

And in this silent place, creatures adept at stealth attacks were the most troublesome!

“Ah!”

Just at that moment, Zayne let out a startled cry!

He had been attacked by some invisible creature!

And after Zayne made a sound, his slim body vanished from sight, as if erased from this world!

As expected, in the silent world of the dead, one must not make any sound at all!

The rest of the group immediately spread out, remaining fully vigilant in the white sea of flowers, for the attacking creature was invisible, which made it difficult to guard against, and one had to stay completely focused.

As for Zayne, surely he wasn’t dead, was he?

No one was quite certain, and there was no way to be sure for the moment.

Byrne’s brows furrowed tightly. Indeed, just as he had guessed, monsters appeared on the trial of the Path of the Dead.

Hmm, that’s right, this is the Path of the Dead.

Perhaps many of the dead were there to hinder their progress?

Marzo’s eyebrows furrowed as she suddenly saw many dead creatures emerging from all around, many of which resembled skeletons, pale all over, and they were moving steadily towards them.

She quickly took out her bow but was shocked to find that she couldn’t summon the power of Nature at all.

Does this world completely reject the force of life?

Byrne, seeing the dead, knew the situation was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Then he saw something very astonishing—a huge spherical monster suddenly appeared in midair. It was tens of meters tall, completely black, covered with terrifying red skulls and purple tentacles.

Marzo was stunned, trembling all over, her eyes filled with disbelief.

“Why?”

The elf made a sound.

The next moment, she disappeared.

Byrne and the others could feel it—the last-appeared spherical tentacle monster exerted an incredibly frightening pressure, wielding a power they absolutely couldn’t contend with!

“Let’s leave this place first!”

Byrne took a deep breath.

He had to make a sound, and then he too disappeared.

Aldrich stared at the many monsters, deep in thought.

Hmm.

Why did these creatures suddenly appear?

And, the expression of that emerald elf earlier was somewhat off.

She looked as if she recognized that creature.

Could it be?

Lost in deep contemplation, Aldrich conducted a mental experiment and, the next moment, his theory was confirmed.

“So that’s how it is.”

After speaking, Aldrich too vanished from sight.

At this moment, only Chris was left here, facing the approaching monsters alone.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, his words even slightly hesitant, for it had been a long while since he last spoke.

“Farewell.”

Finally, they all returned to White Bones Canyon, enveloped in the thick white Fog.

Aldrich took a deep breath and, frowning, immediately asked, “Who just now couldn’t help but let their mind wander?”

Byrne was taken aback and said, “Ah?”

The next instant, he had an epiphany, finally understanding what the trial of the Path of the Dead was all about.
