Chapter 383 The Hunt of Outer Island Part 3
Cato, Two hours later
Two hours had passed since the beginning of the contest, and yet, the streets that surrounded the headquarters of Cato's conglomerates, were still full of cultivators All of the arrays that had been installed in the skies of Cato's main cities These arrays would produce three-di cultivators could use to follow the movements of the participants
Only four of these arrays had been left in Cato, and each of thele one of the four islands in which Cato's participants were co on
In between the territories of the three conglomerates whose participants had been placed in the same island as Nilo, Finn, and the others, was an illusion which, along with depicting every event that was taking place in the volcanic island, gave an outsider perspective of the entire test
While in three of the four illusions the observers atching their students and children struggle to pass their test, the observers of the volcanic island were too asha hours since the beginning of the test, the only reason why none of these twelve thousand cultivators had failed, was thanks to the strenuous efforts of five cultivators However, as cultivators themselves, they knew that, at some point, Nilo and the others would run out of immortal essence, and would be overwhelmed by the oceanic warriors
That was unless the other participants figured out the real objective of the test, which was not as siate, and kill a few hundred oceanic warriors as they eed from the sea
The participants of the other islands were going through similar tests, but with different kinds of enemies Luckily, they had been able to assess their situation earlier, thanks to the lack of liuring out the objective of the test
”Just go back to the volcano!! YOU damn IDIOTS!” Shouted one of the observers with exasperation He was forced to watch as, for two long hours, twelve thousand cultivators were carried through the first test by a ss were noas not only disappointing to the
Finally able to take his hand off of his face fro cultivators said with disappoint killed by the first cultivator that offers some damn candies to them”
”It is better that they fail like this and come back home alive, than die like theed cultivators However, when she directed her sensing ability towards the volcano's crater, she immediately noticed that not only were Nilo and the others still alive, but that they were not showing any sign of exhaustion
Floating right above the crater, not at all surprised about how things were going, were the old man Golden Cauldron, and his son, the Silver Alchemist
An additional two and a half hours passed, and during each second, Nilo and the others kept fighting wave after wave of oceanic warriors without letting any of theh
Only minutes after the first arrow had been shot, Fyro had noticed that these royal archers would voluntarily attract a group of oceanic warriors at regular intervals Knowing this, the group had created a rotation which consisted in splitting the group into two teams of two, that took care of two different waves at the saed attacks Each couple had a li to , unable to contribute to the killing effort, had triedup the arrival of these alreadywarriors, but alas, these archers were protected by powerful barriers that would prevent the further than arm's reach from their ar cultivators had slowly shi+fted fro in front of the cage for almost five hours, to either Nilo and the other four, or at the father and son couple that had been floating above the island fro of the competition
When the fourth and a half hourto feel anxious Only sroups of enemies were attracted by the royal archers, but the five hours mark, was the moment in which the undisturbed oceanic warriors would coed, they would be overwhelrie at that reen-clothed cultivator turned to look at the nuh up in the sky, which was now at six thousand, and was going down at a steady pace
By keeping their perimeter, they had had the chance to kill their fair share of warriors, yet, frolance, one would notice that there weren't four thousand corpses on the sand that surrounded their perireen-clothed cultivator did not fail to notice this, and suddenly said, ”RETREAT DEEPER INTO THE PERIMETER, AND STOP ATTACKING!”
”What are you on about?” Asked the teenage-looking wolomerate of Cato, with deep confusion
”Just do it, I only need a few seconds” Responded the green-clothed cultivator with a tone that betrayed his confident attitude, and revealed a fair aency
”What makes you think that you can order my people around?!” Asked a lean er He was the leading figure of the participants of the Egregious Mercantile Ethics, as well as the grandson of its leader, Gen Stein
The green clothed cultivator did not waste any ti too quickly We haven't killed that ht not even be supposed to kill these warriors!”
”Fine” Said the young cultivator in dark red robes before turning to look at his group, and shouting, ”Do as he said!”
After the young woman did the same, the three of them turned to look at the nu at almost the same speed as it was before, which meant that, of the thousands of warriors that had been killed, their contribution was ht
”Oh no”to a conclusion
”What is it?” Asked the teenage-looking woroups?!” He asked with clear urgency
The young woman did not think twice about it, and instead turned towards her group, and after a few seconds, said, ”Aside fro”
Siroup, and h the use of his li ability He soon found out that aside froainst the oceanic warriors, no one else was roup either
”What about you?” Asked the green-clothed cultivator to the cultivator in dark red clothes
”We are all here Just a group of seven people disappeared soon after ere teleported” Responded the young cultivator in dark red clothes
”It can't be the down, there has to be a reason why these warriors are heading towards the volcano” Said the green robed cultivator before turning pensive After a few long seconds, he raised his head, and said, ”Theywe have to kill in the volcano, and we only have ten thousand warriors to aid us?”
