Chapter 408 The Powerful Golden Horn Rhinoceros
Chapter 408 The Powerful Golden Horn Rhinoceros
"Ah, Third Junior Brother Ding, how did you get injured too?"
When Su Jin saw Ding San's empty right arm and his blood-stained shoulder, she covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed.
Ding San gave a bitter smile.
"I was tricked, getting injured is normal, right? It's just that you three are powerful and stick together, so they didn't dare to attack. Otherwise, your fate might not be better than mine."
"But I didn't come out empty-handed either. I've already killed all twenty-something people who plotted against me."
Ding San truly lived up to his Gold Core strength. Even when he was ambushed, he had some counterattack power.
Unfortunately, his combat ability was greatly reduced after losing an arm. At least this time, he probably wouldn't have a chance to compete in the Tianji Trial.
"Are you still planning to continue the trial? With your current condition, even if you participate, you probably won't achieve good results."
Lu Yu looked at Ding San's empty right arm with some concern and asked.
Although he wasn't familiar with Ding San, this guy had made a wise choice to retreat when they encountered him before, leaving a good impression on Lu Yu.
And he even came to remind them voluntarily, so at least for now, he couldn't be considered an enemy.
Ding San shook his head.
"The Tianji Trial is my dream. Even with just one arm, I will carry on to the end!"
A determination shone in his eyes, which made Lu Yu look at him with newfound respect.
"Keep it up."
Lu Yu casually threw a healing pill towards him and said.
Ding San instinctively caught the pill and glanced at it. He could still smell the strong medicinal power from the healing pill.
Feeling the potent medicinal power contained in the pill, he bitterly smiled.
He was truly too poor. Almost all the resources he could obtain were invested in cultivation, which allowed him to not fall too far behind.
It was precisely because he had no money that he didn't bring much healing medicine with him to the Tianji Tower this time.
The few healing pills he had were scavenged from the bodies of the enemies who ambushed him.
The effectiveness of healing pills from ordinary disciples of the Greedy Wolf Hall could be imagined.
Lu Yu himself was an alchemist, and almost all the pills in his hands were top-grade.
Once the healing pill entered his stomach, Ding San felt his wounds rapidly healing.
Originally, he needed to use some of his spiritual power to suppress the wounds, but now it was no longer necessary.
Although his severed arm couldn't be regenerated, at least his injuries no longer affected his movements.
Feeling the changes in his body, he looked meaningfully at Lu Yu and then lowered his head.
Lu Yu didn't have the time to guess what he was thinking.
Because when the three of them entered the trial ground, they heard the voice of the Tianji Tower.
"The Tianji Tower trial officially begins. Disciples who did not arrive at the Tianji Tower on time will be teleported out. Prepared disciples, please get ready..."
Just as the Tianji Tower announced the official start of the trial, a figure stumbled in from outside.
Yes, he flew in.
Only after he flew into the trial ground did the gate slowly close.
"Phew, ha, I made it!"
Cui Tianming gasped for breath while casting a resentful glance at Lu Yu and the others.
Obviously, his injuries hadn't healed yet, and the charred area on his chest from Lu Yu's attack was still conspicuous.
After he entered, everyone's gaze fell on him.
But Cui Tianming didn't care at all.
While sitting cross-legged on the ground, he swallowed two pills and began to restore his strength.
It is not allowed to engage in real combat in the trial field, which is why he dares to come openly in front of Lu Yu and the others.
"It seems like he just won't give up."
Lu Yu glanced at Cui Tianming and sneered.
"Don't underestimate him. It is said that the second elder gave him a heavenly-grade treasure to bring into the Tianji Tower. He is not easy to deal with."
Ding San, who received the pill from Lu Yu, kindly reminded him.
"He must have brought a treasure, otherwise my punch earlier would have taken his life."
Lu Yu had no doubt about this.
To withstand his full force attack and even teleport away, it is definitely impossible without a treasure.
"It should be the second elder's life treasure, the Nine Stars Pearl. It probably blocked your attack with its defensive bead."
Su Jin knew quite a bit about the elders of the Greedy Wolf Hall, especially the second elder's famous Nine Stars Pearl.
Lu Yu just chuckled lightly upon hearing this.
No matter how powerful a treasure is, it requires corresponding strength to activate it. Obviously, Cui Tianming's current strength cannot fully unleash the power of the Nine Stars Pearl. Otherwise, it would have been him who was injured last time.
"The 21st level of the Tianji Trial, begin!"
A cold voice resounded in the trial field.
Immediately, a golden figure suddenly appeared in the center of the trial field.
The disciples who were waiting in the center of the trial field were startled.
One of the disciples happened to be in the position where the golden figure appeared and was directly crushed into a meat patty.
"So tragic..."
Just a moment ago, that disciple was standing fine, but in the blink of an eye, he was crushed to death. Everyone closed their eyes and took a step back.
At this moment, someone recognized it.
"It's the Golden Horn Rhinoceros! How could such a thing appear? It is a powerful spirit beast with the bloodline of Xuanwu, comparable to a Gold Core stage expert!"
"Why is it the 21st level? The last time I reached the trial, it started from the 16th level. Shouldn't it start from the 17th level?"
These disciples were extremely terrified, as the current difficulty of the trial completely exceeded their imagination.
Several disciples who were obviously weaker or injured made a decisive decision and directly withdrew from the trial, turning into streaks of light and leaving the Tianji Tower.
At the beginning of the trial, nearly half of the participating disciples had already left.
"A spirit beast with the strength of the Gold Core stage? Quite formidable."
Lu Yu looked at the Golden Horn Rhinoceros in the center of the trial field and took two steps back.
Although he could withstand this Golden Horn Rhinoceros, he didn't want to be used as a pawn by others.
Obviously, this is a collective trial. As long as someone defeats the Golden Horn Rhinoceros, everyone can pass.
But why should he take action? The disciples of the Greedy Wolf Hall already regarded him as an enemy.
Not only him, but Ling Tianxin and Su Jin also subconsciously took half a step back. Even Ding San didn't immediately show any intention to fight.
The remaining disciples of the Greedy Wolf Hall looked at each other and then gathered behind Cui Tianming.
Compared to Lu Yu and the others, they were more familiar with Cui Tianming.
"Xiaomei, come over here."
At this moment, Su Jin saw a familiar figure and waved to Xiaomei.
Xiaomei hesitated upon hearing the voice, but then leaped over to Su Jin's side.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Su Jin."
In the trial field, there were only a few Gold Core stage experts who could withstand the Golden Horn Rhinoceros.
The other disciples, even if they could fight beyond their level, could only sigh in the face of such a powerful Golden Horn Rhinoceros.
