Long Live Summons-Chapter 861 Advancing Alone, The Spirit Beast Great Hall

Chapter 861: Advancing Alone, The Spirit Beast Great Hall

"Welcome, welcome!" When Yue Yang brought the Reaper Mantis to the test hall of the first level, the Toad King was waiting in front of the Great Hall. It slapped its belly and made a laugh that was revolting to hear, compelling others to vomit at the sound. It was no exaggeration to say that others' farts were a hundred times better than its laughter.

"It's you, Toad? What do you want to do?" Yue Yang knew that there must be nothing good about this guy being here.

"I'm being kind, just here to remind you that if you fail the first test, the beast will be punished by the Law and die. The first test is where most challengers fail, young man. Good luck! "The Toad King's ugly lips kept opening and closing, constantly bursting with laughter. It didn't wait for Yue Yang to speak and immediately turned and left, as if it was afraid of Yue Yang's curse. Before leaving however, it turned its head back and kindly reminded him, "Although the Beast Valley's Law will protect the challenger, the Box Hall is not a safe area for the beasts. Consider this my free gift of information for you! If there is something in the Box Hall that attacks when your beast pushes the box, don't say that I didn't remind you, hahaha!"

The Toad King gave one last laugh with a very unpleasant bad breath before it left.

Yue Yang pondered slightly.

Finally, he signaled the Reaper Mantis to enter the hall and take part in the test. Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel, who were hiding in the distance, became anxious. Should they tell him the truth about the Great Hall? If they showed up now and told him the truth about the Great Hall, it would surely be found out by the Toad King and the others; but if they don't go out and tell him, where it results in the little one failing the test.

Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel were in a dilemma.

If this young man fails, how could they talk about freedom?

They hoped that he wouldn't be annihilated just like that, as it wasn't easy to wait for the arrival of such a person either!

Ryoma motioned for the Sickle Weasel to not to show itself. After all, as a resident, he still had another chance even if his own beast died. He decided to stand up and tell Yue Yang about the trap in the Spirit Beast Great Hall.

s

Even if he would be attacked by the Toad King and the others afterwards, he couldn't care less about it.

The Sickle Weasel also gritted its teeth.

It looked towards the direction of where the Toad King had disappeared into. If Ryoma was attacked, it would rush out without hesitation to stop the blow and help him escape.

It was impossible to change the past, but today, the Sickle Weasel and Ryoma were on the same page. Both of them must fight for the hope in their hearts and for their coveted freedom!

"What are you doing here?"

A beautiful and melodious voice rang from behind Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel.

Although the sound was as sweet as the sound of nature, the two only felt a wave of coldness spread all over their frames, as if there was a chilling energy sliding down the back of their skulls along their spines. It was the Poisonous Queen Bee, whose hands were gently pressing onto the backs of both Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel. With her strength, as long as she wanted, she could make the two of their bodies freeze, leaving them with nothing but a step away from death— a ‘Living Corpse'. The Poisonous Queen Bee's stinger tail was an ultimate attack in the Beast Valley; as long as one was hit, it would definitely die!

Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel were both stunned.

For a moment, they were unsure of what to do.

The Poisonous Queen Bee suddenly retracted her hands and snorted, "Fellow friends who hide your heads but reveal your tails, you probably think you two were very well concealed with your Cloaking Skills. In fact, you are not even close— even the blind could see through it at a glance! However, this Queen is in a good mood today. As long as you two don't meddle in things that are not your business, I can temporarily leave your head attached on your neck. Remember, talk less and observe more, don't do anything else. You don't have to speak up here, and there's also no reason for you to speak up, okay?"

There seemed to be a shadow flashing in the distance, and the Poisonous Queen Bee immediately stopped.

She held her breath, as if doing so would make her invisible.

Standing behind Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel, it seemed like she did not exist as her concealment skills were many times stronger than Ryoma.

The Poisonous Queen Bee moved silently and disappeared at an extremely fast speed, as if nothing had ever appeared before.

Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel broke out in cold sweat.

This battlefield will be a conversation between the strong. With their strength, maybe apart from watching, there was really no way for them to change anything. There was a tall shadow coming from a distance which was at a Cyclops[1] that was at the height of six meters.

T/L Note: [1] A Cyclops is a one-eyed giant. The eye is usually in the middle of its head, and it's more like a human, just enlarged.

The Cyclops possessed the strength of the 4th Level Heaven Rank.

Although it was not at a very high level, judging from the gleaming light in its eyes, everyone knew that its wisdom was not low. At the very least, it was far smarter and more cunning than the ordinary cyclops. Without even looking at Yue Yang, the Cyclops rushed directly into the Spirit Beast Great Hall.

"Huh?" Yue Yang felt a little strange.

Did the test of Beast Valley require the challengers to line up? To the extent of someone rushing into it?

Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel knew what was going on. In the Spirit Beast Great Hall, there were hundreds of boxes of various textures distributed in the upper, middle, and lower spaces. Among them, there was a 5-Element Box that was the most precious. As long as one opened it, they could get a sign that represented the identity of the beast. The more advanced 5-Element Box that they opened, the more advanced a sign that they would get.

Of course, the more advanced the 5-Element Box was, the harder it was to find and open as well.

The best box required the aid of a companion. Only then could challengers open up specific locks.

For example, there are some Space Doors that will automatically close when someone enters. And if a single beast enters, it will no longer be able to get out for its entire lifetime. So, a reliable companion was needed to open the door outside. In the same way, there was another kind of Space Door that would not open again as long as someone entered. There was even a specific kind of Space Door that would not operate if someone was standing on top of certain structures. It could be said that the Beast Spirit Great Hall was a testing area that is both very easy to cause harm to enemies and requires the support of companions.

Unless it's just a common sign that was the easiest to obtain on the first floor of the Spirit Beast Great Hall.

In that case, the reward would be the least.

And it would be easy to be punished by law. On the first floor of the Spirit Beast Great Hall, most of the boxes are wooden boxes. Some of these wooden boxes needed to be placed in a certain shape to successfully open the door. If they were placed incorrectly or if a wooden box was broken, the consequences would be very serious. There would be a 50% chance that the Law would randomly usher in ten wild beasts from the Beast Valley, and there was also a 30% chance that thunder would emerge from the sky.

There is only a mere 20% chance that the beast would be safe and free from punishment.

Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel all knew that without even guessing— the Cyclops must be trying to make an ambush on the first floor, deliberately inducing any opponents to break the box.

If this does not kill the enemy, then it will rush to the second floor and stand on some structures to block the way.

To the point where it would even advance to the third floor and scurry beyond the Space Doors.

This would prevent the other side from entering, letting the other party be forced to choose a common sign. These kinds of tricks have long been played in the Beast Valley. Everyone knew how to sabotage another, but no one knew how to solve their own problems.

"Maybe there is more than just one Cyclops. It might just be the target that the Toad King deliberately wanted to expose," The Cyclops was not the one that Ryoma was concerned about the most.

"Maybe, she might have a way to solve it!" The Sickle Weasel said comfortingly.

That little one has an impressive amount of wisdom.

How could an identity test of the Spirit Beast Great Hall stump her? Even if a Cyclops caused trouble, she must be able to pass the test calmly. After all, she could reach the existence of a Holy Beast in ten and a half days! It was not an ordinary beast at all. Besides, this was the easiest test of the first level, which is also the test that had the highest success rate in the Beast Valley!

Yue Yang sat calmly on the steps of the Spirit Beast Great Hall. He took out a summer mat and fell asleep comfortably.

He did not seem like the master of a Battle-type Beast who was going to take part in the test. Instead, he resembled the look of a lazy test examiner.

The Reaper Mantis tilted her head to think.

After a long time, she slowly flew into the Spirit Beast Great Hall.

No one told her what to do, and no one could help her either. In the Great Hall of the Spirit Beasts, everything relied solely on her own efforts!

The huge shadow of theToad King flickered in a very distant direction. It was confirming the actions of the Reaper Mantis, confirming that she had entered the Spirit Beast Great Hall, before it left immediately. Based on the experience of Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel, it was discovered that the ugly Toad King hadn't really left. Instead, it just lurked to the second test of the first level, where this was indeed the case. The Toad King had taken completely destructive measures and placed interceptions one after another, each becoming more and more deadly. This had to be done in order to kill this Holy Beast with infinite potential, in order to wash away its own shame, and in order to re-establish itself as a Beast King. The prestige of the Toad King had already been decided, and he will not give up until he kills the little thing called the Reaper Mantis.

In the Spirit Beast Great Hall.

In addition to the Cyclops who rushed in, there was another shadow poking its head around.

Seeing that Yue Yang was asleep, it also slipped in silently. The Reaper Mantis didn't pay attention to any odd Cyclops; she just kept a cautious awareness and sneaked in quietly.

Inside, the space was surprisingly large. Besides the necessary passages and corridors, it was mostly divided into rooms. These rooms were similarly designed, but they came with different door numbers. In each room, there were boxes of different sizes as well.

When the Reaper Mantis tried to move a big box out with her mind, to her surprise, the door of the other room closed.

And when she put back the large box, the other door opened again.

These should be weight-balanced houses.

The Reaper Mantis arrived at this answer. When she walked to a mechanism bridge, she immediately understood why there were boxes in the room. These boxes were used for weight gain. When she put a big box on the bridge head mechanism, the deck that looked like a broken bridge immediately stretched by a meter. The Reaper Mantis added a stone to the pile, which was ruthlessly electrocuted by a strike of thunder by the Law. It seemed that it would be impossible to get past this mechanism bridge besides bringing in enough boxes.

If she didn't take the mechanism bridge, she could also take another route.

A route with many corridors in it.

Among them, at the end of a corridor, the Cyclops peeked out of the door and glanced at the Reaper Mantis.

Reaper Mantis remembered the master’s teaching in her mind. In any situation, she must be calm and be vigilant. Look around, use her wisdom to formulate strategies, combining brains and brawn, all to defeat the enemy. Compared to defeating the enemy with brute force, this method would be a hundred times easier… Thinking of this, her eyes became firm, and the sunny smile on Yue Yang's usual expression also appeared on her small face.

Any enemy who had seen this smile would feel terrified in their hearts.

s

Because this kind of smile was actually a hundred times more terrifying than the Devil's smile!

"Come on!" The Reaper Mantis clenched her small fist and gave herself a boost. Then, she floated towards the long-routed corridor where the Cyclops disappeared into.

With her master’s instruction, were there any difficulties in this world that could not be faced?

I must work hard!

I have to work harder than Red, Ah Man and Duo Duo. I must catch up with them as soon as possible and I must not let the master down. I've got to work hard, work hard… With a strong will to fight, the Reaper Mantis started to take action.
