Chapter 197: The Trial Tower
Chapter 197: The Trial Tower
Within the Legacy Ground, Li Wu had just given his ring to Dudu.
The golden light enveloping them began to intensify.
Then, the sensation of Cosmic Shift, as experienced when entering the Mystic Realm, occurred again. With a blink and a struggle, Li Wu's surroundings transformed.
He found himself inside a massive structure.
Unsure of the building's purpose, Li Wu couldn't discern its nature from within.
Scanning the building, he muttered, 'Oh Wood,' after observing it for a while.
"It's huge. What place is this? Judging by its size, it's probably a few thousand square meters.
And as expected, Dudu and the others are gone."
Even before entering, Li Wu had worried they might be separated.
Now, his fears were confirmed.
Fortunately, Li Wu had given his ring to Dudu, so he didn't need to worry about her encountering any dangers.
As for his side and Lin Jianying's? Li Wu believed there shouldn't be significant issues.
After all, his rich lady had given him the ring, surely aware of the challenges within the Legacy Ground. She wouldn't leave him unprotected, causing his teammates to suffer.
Thus, Li Wu wasn't overly concerned about his safety.
"Let's first figure out where we are. Hey, there seems to be something over there! Let's go check it out!"
Scanning the surroundings, Li Wu suddenly spotted something resembling a monument inside the building.
Li Wu's eyes lit up. Holding the fish with one hand and the bird with the other, he let the little skeleton take the lead.
The trio, one human and two beasts, approached the monument.
This large monument was inscribed with dense, intricate characters, and at the top were the words 'Trial Tower.'
"Trial Tower?"
Li Wu quickly scanned it and realized the monument served as an instruction manual.
"It says that this is the challenge instance within the Legacy Ground.
Upon entering the Trial Tower, it will arrange opponents from low to high levels. Defeating each opponent grants rewards.
Successfully clearing the tower also offers additional bonuses. From this, it seems this place isn't dangerous at all? It appears to be a hidden benefit within the Legacy Ground."
As Li Wu muttered to himself, a spark of fire flew towards him.
The little skeleton reacted swiftly, blocking the fire with its bones to protect Li Wu.
"Oh, the trial begins now?"
Li Wu looked in the direction of the fire, spotting a Fire Rat.
He further assessed the opponent and found it to be a one-star difficulty.
The trial's opening seemed a bit disrespectful, and Li Wu shook his head, releasing the bird from his embrace.
"Hahaha, this opponent is yours."
Pride (Let Hahaha handle it. Hahaha can't be beaten by humans!)
The silly bird's demeanor changed, and with confident strides, it approached the tiny Fire Rat that had suddenly appeared five meters away.
On one side stood the fifty-centimeter-tall Hahaha, and on the other, the twenty-centimeter-long, five-centimeter-tall Fire Rat.
As they faced off, Hahaha's aura surged, and with a flap of its wings, it knocked the Fire Rat to the ground.
It followed up with two kicks, stomping the pitiful Fire Rat into the ground, then wildly attacking the rat from both sides.
This wasn't a fight; it was a brutal beating! Soon, the poor little Fire Rat was reduced to a beam of light.
As the Fire Rat dissipated, a glow appeared on Li Wu's Hahaha.
Clearly, this was the reward for completing the trial.
However, due to the opponent's weakness, the reward was also underwhelming.
The moment the light appeared, it vanished, and Lu Wu opened the attribute panel of the little skeleton, only to find no changes.
As soon as the light on the little skeleton disappeared, the second stage promptly commenced.
This time, it was Fire Rats again, but their strength had increased to 2-Star, and their number had doubled from one to two.
This time, the little skeleton didn't have it so easy.
Although its skills were decent, its actual combat power wasn't particularly impressive.
It could bully 1-Star opponents, but against 2-Star ones, it could only manage an even fight.
Now, with two 2-Star rats facing it, the little skeleton was immediately overwhelmed by the duo.
These rats were vicious when attacking the bird, scratching with their claws, biting with their teeth, and occasionally swatting with their tails, which were lit with small flames.
The bird was getting a thorough beating.
However, the more pitiful the bird looked, the happier Lu Wu felt it was.
"My eyes are burning! Why did I ever choose this bird?"
Lu Wu felt that when he had picked this bird, something must have blocked his vision, otherwise he would never have chosen a bird so incompatible with his style as his little brother.
But regardless, since it was his little brother, Lu Wu couldn't just watch it get pummeled.
So, he had no choice but to direct the little skeleton in its fight.
With the attributes of the Fire Rats laid bare before Lu Wu, there were no secrets. When Lu Wu took action, the outcome was a foregone conclusion.
Under Lu Wu's command, the little skeleton swiftly defeated the two Fire Rats, causing them to disappear in a flash of light.
However, the bird seemed somewhat unhappy.
It appeared that being beaten by its opponents brought it more joy than defeating them.
After defeating the two opponents, the harvest arrived, and this time, the light lasted a little longer than before, but it still didn't last three seconds, remaining fleetingly brief.
Despite its brevity, the effect was still impressive.
As the light enveloped the little skeleton, its strength skyrocketed from 2-Star to 3-Star, and all the injuries it had sustained during the fight were instantly healed.
The little skeleton immediately declared that it was feeling great and ready for another thrashing.
The trial tower quickly granted its wish.
Soon, the third wave of summoned beasts arrived.
This time, the opponents were not Fire Rats but Goblins.
Their strength had increased from the original 2-Star to 3-Star, and their numbers had risen from two to three.
Lu Wu frowned at this change.
"The difficulty of this trial tower seems to be increasing unreasonably. Not only does the strength of the opponents increase, but their numbers do too. At this rate, will I have to face four Elite summoned beasts next time?"
If it were just four Elites, Lu Wu's side could manage.
But if this pattern continued, by the seventh wave, he would have to confront seven 1-Star Overlord-level beasts.
By the ninth wave, Lu Wu would be up against nine 3-Star Overlord-level beasts.
What was even more worrying was that the monument didn't specify the number of trials or how to stop the trial.
If this trial couldn't be halted, they would be in serious danger!
"So, this is the so-called danger!"
Lu Wu narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, on the little skeleton's side, a fierce battle between a bird and three Goblins was underway.
