Chapter 384: 139?
Pulp Farmer and company exchanged looks once again. Shi Xiaobai could always surprise them, astonish them, to the point of leaving them aghast. Therefore, when Shi Xiaobai said that he was immune to poison, there was nothing much left for their hearts to be stirred. However, they still found it unbelievable. It was really odd to have a reason of eating tree leaves because of hunger caused by anger.
However, Pulp Farmer and company did not harp on this topic. Regardless if it were true or false, it would be impolite to probe further.
Liu Yu immediately changed topics by saying, “The encounters of Benefactor Shi Xiaobai are truly enviable. If This Penniless Priest didn’t guess wrongly, the holy tree’s fruit should be one of the heritage items in this land of trials. It is something like the Level Lords that cannot be replicated. It was left behind as opportunities for future generations by the creator of the trials. The Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower’s heritage is relatively rare compared to other trials, but each of them is extremely valuable, or even priceless. Over the millennia, most of the heritage has been discovered by our predecessors, so the ones left behind are extremely well-hidden, or the way to obtain them is inexplicable. To be honest, the greatest goal This Penniless Priest had when joining this trial was to obtain one of the holy heritage items of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, but unfortunately to no avail.”
Shi Xiaobai laughed for he found his luck pretty good. In fact, he had previously used ten thousand points to exchange for Holy Radiance back on the second level. That sword was currently lent to Sunless, and it was apparently one of the holy items of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower.
Shi Xiaobai and company trudged through the Silent Desolate Lands for a long period of time. The road ahead was long and monotonous, while the scenery was repetitive, with yellow sand and gray rocks, a bleak and desolate scene. Thankfully, Liu Yu was quite a talkative person. He was always capable of finding a topic to defuse the boring situation.
Along the way, Liu Yu mentioned a lot of the background stories of the world in the seventh level. The world was very large, with the Infernal domain and Transcendence only taking up a tiny part of the world map. There were many trial-takers throughout history that teamed up to tour and explore the world. They shared the culture and origins of this world with the human world at a later date.
After all, this world was a replica of a real plane of existence. Although it was an ancient era, and its level of civilization was not high, the splendid culture was still worth studying and learning from.
Shi Xiaobai liked to hear a wide variety of stories from a young age. Regardless if they were epic legends or simple and naive fairy tales, Shi Xiaobai was always able to imagine the scenes of the story, immersing himself in the story and experience its ups and downs.
Shi Xiaobai believed that even if he managed to kill the Infernal King and completed the mission from the Absolute Choice, he would still fail to obtain the approval of the assessment program. It would be even better in that case.In that case, he could explore the world with his own feet like many other people.
After trudging through the Silent Desolate Lands for an unknown period of time, even the burning sun gradually turned warm and soft.
Pulp Farmer suddenly stopped at some point in time.
He said, “It’s about time. Let’s finish it here.”
Liu Yu and Feng Yuanlin stopped as well, and nodded at Pulp Farmer.
Shi Xiaobai was somewhat puzzled by Pulp Farmer’s sentence. He asked curiously, “What do you mean?”
Only then did Pulp Farmer recall that he had a ‘noob’ beside him that did not know anything about the seventh level. He said helplessly, “In the seventh level, trial-takers would experience a calamity every three days. We call this ‘Surviving the Calamity’. Overlord Ji Feng managed to survive a hundred days, undergoing thirty-four calamities before finally obtaining the approval of the assessment program. As for me, my first calamity was three days ago at approximately this time. So, my second calamity is coming very soon! The second calamity is still rather easy, so I’ll settle it myself.”
Shi Xiaobai immediately remembered how he and Speechless had encountered the assault of gigantic black scorpions, the steel rhinoceroses and the stone dragons. That was probably the calamity Pulp Farmer was referring to?
It was unknown whose calamity it was the other time, his or Speechless’s.
Shi Xiaobai nodded his head to express his understanding. Therefore, he stood quietly by the side, waiting for Pulp Farmer’s second calamity to befall him.
A minute later, there was a rumble from the west.
