Chapter 1251 - Random Intrusion (1/2)

Just as Rhode said, there weren’t too many means right now. The core of the issue was that the Dark Dragon’s soul power hadn’t been awakened completely. If not, no matter how rampant Chaos was, it wouldn’t be this flagrant. And now, what Rhode’s group had to do was assist Erin in passing the trials as soon as possible and eliminate the Chaos creatures that infiltrated the sacred trial grounds.

But…

“Your Majesty the Void Dragon, this is really dangerous.”

The dragon young ladies stared sternly at Rhode’s group, which stood on the teleportation ritual.

“In principle, even though this is the only effective way, I need to remind everyone that as we’ve sealed the connection between the trial grounds and Dark Dragon, the teleportation ritual has become unstable. In other words, after we activate the teleportation ritual, you may be sent to entirely different areas.”

“We’re prepared for it.”

Upon hearing the dragon young ladies’ words, Rhode nodded and turned to his group.

“Remember, don’t panic after we’re separated. Send out location signals straightaway and wipe out all obstacles! The trial must still be completed by Erin herself. All we need to do is eliminate as much Chaos as possible and stop it from expanding. Understood?”

“Got it, Leader.”

“Yes, Master.”

Upon hearing Rhode’s command, everyone nodded firmly. As a matter of fact, they weren’t afraid at all. Apart from Angelina who was weaker, the rest was more powerful, so much so that Chaos couldn’t pose too many problems for them. After listening to Rhode’s words, the dragon young ladies didn’t comment much. They exchanged glances with each other and raised their arms quickly. Shortly after, the pitch-black runes that appeared before Erin’s eyes showed up in front of Rhode’s group. They dispersed swiftly, transformed, and fused into the omnipresent dark curtain that enveloped their vision. At the next moment, Rhode felt the ground underneath his feet vanishing in an instant. Then, boundless pitch-blackness enfolded everything in sight.

Darkness scattered.

When Rhode opened his eyes again, what appeared before his eyes was no longer the ceremonial hall, but a pitch-black, gloomy forest instead. Pure black tree branches and snowy leaves emanating spots of gentle light reflected upon one another, unveiling a peculiar and gorgeous sense of beauty.

“I’m considered lucky to end up here.”

Looking at this scene, Rhode heaved a sigh of relief. Back then, even though Starlight didn’t get through Shadow Ravine successfully, they were considered one of the groups that stayed in this godforsaken place the longest. Rhode understood the various places of Shadow Ravine well. And now, it seemed like he had teleported to the ‘Crystal Forest’ within Shadow Ravine, which was one of the more beautiful and acceptable places for players. However, the creatures were more ferocious, elusive, and stronger to deal with. Therefore, unless the group was formidable, one couldn’t possibly dare to arrive here for treasure hunting. Back then, Rhode’s Starlight was one of them. But even so, they couldn’t withstand the terrifying and monochrome environment of the Shadow Ravine. They only managed to get through Crystal Forest once after turning around to return home.

Well, so be it. I still remember the terrain of this forest.

At this thought, Rhode scanned his surroundings. There wasn’t anyone else around. It seemed like it was just as the dragon young ladies mentioned; everyone was sent to a different area.

Rhode arranged his thoughts and clenched his fists. That’s right. His strength was also restrained. On the system interface, his attributes and skills were basically locked. At that moment, he was nothing more than a player at the max level of 85. Of course, with his identity as a dragon soul heir, it was still possible if he were to use his Void Dragon’s power to break the shackles forcefully. But in that case, he would abruptly disrupt the trial and the Dark Dragon’s soul would also receive damage from the impact. That was why unless absolutely necessary or critical, Rhode would never try to break the restraints.

He wasn’t too concerned about the safety of the rest. Mini Bubble Gum and Icy Snow had also been on an adventure here, so they were familiar with the environment. Anne’s instinct in battles couldn’t be better, so she should do fine. On the other hand, Cassidy was the Contrast Deity Warden. If she couldn’t survive in this place, her position ought to be taken by someone else. As for Angelina… Well, she was his card spirit, after all. She should be able to survive…
