Chapter 778: Bloody Temptation, Fear
"In other words, can you cross this big river only through the passage at the bottom of the guò river?" After carefully probing the situation on the fifth layer, Lie Yan finally came to this conclusion helplessly.
In fact, compared to the previous layers of the Refining Tower, the area of the fifth layer they were on now was actually not very large, and apart from this big river, there was basically nothing to worry about. The elite scouts of the Red Flame Dragon Legion didn't even need much time to be able to find out the general situation of this layer.
But because of this, Lie Yan feels very uneasy in his heart now. After the previous lessons, especially the previous experience in the third and fourth layers, to be honest, Lie Yan really didn't want to continue to follow the steps formulated by Yun Feng to break through this layer of trials one after another.
In this way, what was the difference between them and those adventurers who came to participate in the trial? What's more, compared to those adventurers, they didn't have the talisman of the Sword God Temple, something that could save their lives at critical moments. Of course, the most important thing is that Lieyan and the others came here this time, not just to participate in the trial, they simply came directly to the trial tower itself!
In this case, as before, honestly, layer by layer, this is completely following the rhythm of the enemy! Lie Yan can now be regarded as coming back to his senses, in fact, the previous layers of trials, they were originally completely based on ability, through guò other ways, more calmly, and more quickly, there is no need to make so much trouble at all, and even not to pay so many casualties for this at all!
And now I have come to my senses. But it seems to be a little late. At least when facing this big river, apart from honestly, according to Yun Feng's arrangement, from the bottom of this river channel to guò, Lie Yan really couldn't think of any other way. It can make the army of the Red Flame Dragon Legion all be able to pass through this huge river with huge waves!
A small number of strong people above the legendary realm may still be able to do it, but as long as they have not reached the legendary realm, it is almost impossible to rely on other methods to open the big river guò on their own. You know, the big river in front of you is not just as simple as a huge wave rolling. Of course, with the ability of the scorching flame, it can be seen that there are obviously more and greater dangers hidden in this great river! Even the powerhouses of the Legendary Realm, under the condition of being rejected and suppressed by space, it may not be easy to calmly cross this great river, let alone those ordinary soldiers of the Red Flame Dragon Legion.
After thinking about it, in addition to honestly following the steps formulated by Yun Feng. Blaze couldn't think of any better way. But Lieyan himself knows that this channel at the bottom of the river. It is absolutely impossible to be as calm as it seems on the surface now, since it is a trial, then there must be a considerable risk, about this, as early as in the trials of the previous layers, Lie Yan actually has a very clear understanding. Because of this. That's why he didn't want to always follow the pace arranged by Yun Feng, but now it seems that he has no other better choice.
A team of 100 people was the first to enter the passage at the bottom of the river, and without figuring out the situation, it was certainly impossible for Lie Yan to let his soldiers under his command. All of them poured in, and who knows what kind of danger there is in it. What's more, although the passage at the bottom of the river in front of me is indeed quite wide, compared to the army of nearly 10,000 people, the passage capacity of such a passage is actually quite limited.
Even if they didn't encounter any accidents, the Red Flame Dragon Legion under Lieyan's command would probably need to delay a lot of time before they could fully access the Guò River Bottom Passage. Lie Yan himself knows that it doesn't matter if he is anxious now, he can only take one step at a time.
It didn't take long for the scene that Purple Blade and Su Tu had encountered at the beginning to appear in front of these people. After walking in a hundred steps, the overwhelming rain of swords, without warning, just poured from the top of these soldiers' heads, sides, and even the rear, this is just the first wave of sword rain, the power of a single water sword may not be too strong, but the number of these water swords is too much, so many that these soldiers who can't reach it have no way to deal with it, they can only rely on their own instincts and subconsciously dodge the defense.
But it is obvious that under this kind of Cheng Dù's attack, it is basically meaningless to do this, with the strength of these soldiers, even if they are prepared in advance and burst out with all their strength, they may not be able to survive a complete wave of sword rain. In the final analysis, what these soldiers are best at is always fighting in arrays, and the personal strength of each of them may not be too strong, but if they join forces with each other, as long as they can form a military formation, they can often exert quite good combat power!
But the problem is that Yunfeng's trial is obviously not just to test the teamwork ability of the trialists. In the final analysis, this Tower of Trials is more about testing the strength of individuals. Like these soldiers of the Red Flame Dragon Legion now, although they are indeed able to exert quite good combat power after forming a battle formation, the problem is that in this way, the sword rain triggered by each of them is also superimposed on each other!
Not only has the power of the water swords obviously become much stronger, but the speed and frequency of these water swords have also increased by a level!
Regarding this, Lie Yan obviously saw it, although he still hadn't really figured out what kind of way those sword rains were triggered, but it was obvious that in the face of this kind of sword rain, it was obviously more advantageous to act alone than to act collectively. But now, even if Lie Yan wants to save the situation, it is already a little too late. Although the sword rain lasted for a long time, with the strength of those Red Flame Dragon Legion soldiers, it was really impossible to last until the end of the sword rain. It can be said that there is not much suspense at all, when the sword rain has completely stopped, the hundred soldiers who have taken the lead have all turned into a rain of blood, and then they were swept by the torrent, washed away to the slightest.
Blazing Flame, these powerhouses above the legendary realm are better. But the others were deeply shocked by the scene that happened in front of them! They couldn't imagine how such a terrible scene could exist in this world. As long as you can't survive a wave of sword rain, even if you want to keep a whole corpse, it's completely impossible. For a moment, even the well-trained Red Flame Dragon Legion couldn't help but fall into a dead silence at this time.
No matter how brave and fearless a warrior is. In the face of mortality, it is difficult to keep your face unchanged. And the scene that happened before, for those ordinary soldiers, was indeed too shocking. That wave of sword rain, it can be said that the vast majority of people present are absolutely not the slightest bit sure that they will be able to survive it with their own strength.
Perhaps, in the Red Flame Dragon Legion. There are indeed some genius-level characters who are sure to be able to survive the wave of sword rain just now. But the problem is that this is just the first wave of sword rain that has just appeared! At this time, even a fool can see that the trial content of this river bottom passage, if nothing else, is probably that wave of sword rain! And it is predictable. The power of these sword rains is absolutely impossible to be static, and most likely, it will definitely continue to increase again and again.
In the face of the first wave of sword rain, perhaps there are indeed some powerful soldiers now. is sure that it can survive, but as for whether it can be passed through the bottom of the river safe and sound in the end, I'm afraid that no one can be completely sure!
But this is also a normal thing. You must know that it has been so long since the Tower of Trials was officially opened, and so far, Su Tu is the only one who can really follow the trial of the fifth layer! Even a genius like Purple Blade, when he first came here, he hadn't even been able to reach half of the journey in this river bottom passage!
You must know that with the talent of the purple blade, even if it is not as good as Su Tu, but it is definitely the best choice, at least in the Red Flame Dragon Legion, it is definitely difficult to find someone who can compare with him, not to mention that talent alone is obviously not enough, the education and experience received the day after tomorrow are also crucial for the growth of a strong person. Even the original Purple Blade returned in front of this river bottom passage, not to mention these ordinary soldiers of the Red Flame Dragon Legion.
What's more, even if there were really a few geniuses who were lucky enough to get through the trials at this level, it didn't really mean much to Lie Yan at all. Unless the entire army can be brought across this great river, otherwise, if only a few people pass through guò, it will not change the overall situation at all.
If Lie Yan was willing, he could completely leave the Red Flame Dragon Legion behind and lead those strong men forward on his own. The passage at the bottom of the river in front of him, although it was indeed quite weird, and the burst of sword rain that appeared just now did look amazing, but it was not enough to pose too much threat to the powerhouses of the legendary realm.
Even if there is really a more powerful sword rain behind him, Lie Yan believes that the strong man under his command is definitely capable of passing through it. After all, the powerhouses who participated in the attack on the Tower of Trials this time, even if they were only in the Legendary Realm, were at least Legendary mid-level powerhouses, and in terms of combat power, they were even quite close to the powerhouses of the Legendary High-Rank. Lie Yan absolutely didn't believe that just the trial of the fifth layer would be able to stop a powerhouse of this level. If this is really the case, then wouldn't these tests set by Yun Feng be completely meaningless?
Of course, Lie Yan knew that under normal circumstances, the Tower of Trials established by Yun Feng would not allow the powerhouses above the Legendary Realm to enter, that is to say, the opponents of the trials could only be people below the Legendary Realm. If the previous fourth-layer trials had not exceeded this difficulty, then the current fifth-layer trials would definitely be able to block the trialists above the ninth layer!
Although Lie Yan actually knew very well that the sword rain that appeared just now had not actually reached the legendary realm, it was definitely not something that ordinary high-level professionals could compete with. Even those high-level professionals with slightly weaker forces, once they are caught in this sword rain, the possibility of dying on the spot is definitely quite large!
But when I think of the Golem Canyon on the fourth layer before. Lie Yan somewhat understood, a trialist who had the ability to pass through the fourth layer of guò, without considerable strength, it was obviously impossible to do it. Even if it is not possible to follow the trial of the fifth layer, at least from the wave of sword rain just now, it should still be very sure that it can be done. Not to mention. Most of the other adventurers who entered this Tower of Trials through the normal way still possessed the amulet of the Sword God Temple, and from this point of view, the safety was actually very secure.
But obviously, these soldiers under the command of Lie Yan obviously do not get such treatment, in fact. Not to mention the talisman of the Sword God Temple, until now, they have not really encountered a direct attack from the Sword God Temple, which is definitely a very incredible thing for Lie Yan! Originally, in Lie Yan's expectations, as the territory of the Sword God Temple for a long time, the clergy of the Sword God Temple. Even if you don't plan to force resistance in the deep-water port, but after entering this Tower of Trials. They should do something about it, right?
But up to now, apart from the slight obstacle they had encountered when they were on the second layer, Lie Yan had hardly seen the group of people from the Sword God Temple show up! This kind of abnormal situation had actually alerted Lie Yan a long time ago. But the other party still refused to show his face, and Lie Yan didn't have any good way to deal with it, except for telling his subordinates to be on guard, he actually had no other better way to deal with it.
It's just that Lie Yan still can't figure it out, the people of the Sword God Temple. Why, in the end, there has been no action yet, is it possible that they really think that this Tower of Trials alone is enough to withstand their tens of thousands of troops? As soon as he thought of this, Lie Yan couldn't help but want to sneer, if he only brought the Red Flame Dragon Legion this time, maybe he really didn't have much confidence that he would be able to capture this Tower of Trials, but with so many powerhouses above the Legendary Realm, if they couldn't capture one and lost the protection of the gods, it would really be a big joke!
What's more, in addition to those powerhouses above the legendary realm, Lie Yan also has other hole cards in his hand, since it is attacking the Tower of Trials built by a true god himself, if he is not prepared in advance, it is obviously impossible. Since Lie Yan has the courage to accept this task, he naturally has enough certainty!
If Lie Yan only has this strength on the surface, then this predicament in front of him may not be easy to overcome, but in fact, Lie Yan knows better than anyone that this river bottom passage seems to be very scary, but if he is willing, in fact, at any time, the entire Red Flame Dragon Legion can calmly cross this big river in a very short time!
It's just that what makes Lie Yan feel a little hesitant is that the number of hole cards in his hand is still quite limited after all, and now it is only the fifth layer, if he starts to turn over the hole cards so early, will it have an impact on the next battle? Lie Yan himself is not completely sure about this. If possible, Blaze really didn't want to turn over his hole cards so early, and even if it was possible, if he could still have one or two hole cards left after completely conquering this Tower of Trials, it would really be better.
But now it seems that there is not much hope for such a scenario. Now it's only the fifth layer, he has actually been forced, and he has to start thinking about whether to start turning over the hole cards, it is conceivable that in the next few layers of trials, the situation they will encounter will definitely be more severe than now!
Because of this, the group of people from the Sword God Temple have not officially appeared until now, and Lie Yan has never been able to completely let go of it, those priests of the Sword God Temple are definitely a huge hidden threat to them, if they can't find them out, it will definitely be a huge trouble, even if the other party always refuses to show up like this, Lie Yan has to be on guard all the time.
But the problem is that this Tower of Trials, after all, is someone's territory, Lie Yan can be said to be completely unfamiliar with this place, if the other party really resists and refuses to show up, Lie Yan may really not have a good way. And there is another thing that Lie Yan is quite concerned about, that is, the sword qi that broke through the passage at the bottom of the river before, until now, it still makes Lie Yan feel jealous.
The thought that there was still a level of power of this level in this Tower of Trials made Lie Yan feel uneasy. He wasn't sure whether the previous sword qi was automatically triggered by the Tower of Trials itself, or if it was controlled by the clergy of the Sword God Temple. If it was the latter, then it would definitely be a huge disaster for the invaders like Blazing Flame!
However, judging from the current development of the situation, the former is probably more likely, think about it, if those people in the Sword God Temple really have such a terrifying means of attack, then as early as after they enter the Tower of Trials, they can attack at any time, and there is no need to show such a terrible means in front of them without reservation.
But even so, Lie Yan still didn't dare to take it lightly in his heart, although he did have a lot of hole cards in his hands, but who knows, in the hands of those priests of the Sword God Temple, what kind of killer weapon does he hold? (To be continued......)
