My Disciples are Too Idiotic-Chapter 435 - 300: Delving into the Mountain Range, Wild Boss Appears! (Please Subscribe)
With a shout, Antarctic was the first to rush out of the Ruined Temple. Hugging Chang’e and Roasting Jade Rabbit and the other four barely had time to react before they felt the ground beneath them shake, as if something was erupting from below.
Mere moments after Antarctic dashed out, the Ruined Temple began to shake violently, and dust and smoke filled the air.
Antarctic had already retrieved the Bell from inside the temple.
The violent shaking didn’t last long. As the dust settled, the Ruined Temple returned to its usual quiet state.
The tremor seemed like nothing more than a simple earthquake.
However, Antarctic, standing Outside, wore a grave expression.
His gaze fell upon the Ruined Temple. Hugging Chang’e and Roasting Jade Rabbit and the other four—the five of them who had been inside—had completely vanished.
It was as if they had never been there.
The next moment, a message from Hugging Chang’e and Roasting Jade Rabbit came through.
Hugging Chang’e and Roasting Jade Rabbit messaged, "Brother South Pole, we suddenly suffered a forced death! That Ghostly Place has problems!"
Reading the message, Antarctic re-evaluated the entire Ruined Temple, his brow deeply furrowed.
He was right. This Ruined Temple was also an Item! And it was an Item that killed on contact, with no exceptions!
For some reason, he couldn’t discern the Ruined Temple’s specific properties. Its doors stood wide open, as if inviting someone to enter.
After a long wait, Hugging Chang’e and Roasting Jade Rabbit and the others hurried back, still visibly shaken.
"Brother South Pole, what happened?" A Large Shark asked anxiously. "We didn’t react in time. By the time we realized what was going on, we’d already suffered a forced death."
Rabbit-eared Girl and the others nodded in agreement.
The incident had given them no chance to react, leaving them completely bewildered.
Antarctic explained solemnly, "Do you know about pitcher plants? This Ruined Temple works on a similar principle. I suspect this Ruined Temple itself is a powerful Item, but unfortunately, I can’t see its attributes right now."
"An Item?"
"This Ruined Temple is also a powerful Item?"
"So there are Items in the game with hidden attributes? Did the Game Designer deliberately create something like this?"
"Brother South Pole, do you mean we’ll die just by entering this Ruined Temple?" Hugging Chang’e and Roasting Jade Rabbit asked, their voice laced with lingering fear.
Antarctic furrowed his brow and said, "Not just by entering, but by *touching* it. Walking inside might not kill you immediately, like when you were searching earlier. However, the moment someone touches anything inside the Ruined Temple, it triggers a forced death. When no one is touching anything specific, the temple seems to count the ground as part of itself. This means anyone standing on the ground inside would also trigger the forced death. It’s somewhat like a rule-based Item, but the specifics are hard to determine. After all, this is the first time I’ve encountered an Item with this kind of rule."
It’s a good thing I retrieved the Bell; otherwise, getting it again would have been really difficult. As for this Ruined Temple, I really don’t have a solution right now.
He didn’t know the Ruined Temple’s specific properties, and though he had tried, it seemed impossible to take the Ruined Temple with him.
"Alright, I’m going back to study the Bell. You all be careful."
Antarctic didn’t want to stay any longer. He was now very interested in these Items and wanted to investigate them further.
Seeing this, Hugging Chang’e and Roasting Jade Rabbit and the others watched Antarctic depart.
After Antarctic left, the five exchanged glances.
"Now what? Continue exploring, or go back and rest? It feels pretty dangerous here."
"There’s no need to explore. Who knows if there are more similar Items here."
"I agree. It’s better to head back early, go to the Contribution Hall, and buy some stuff. This version is really not friendly to us."
"It’s more than just unfriendly. It’s infuriating! Hasn’t almost every player died at least once by now?"
"..."
The Fifth Test had just begun, and already, almost every player had died once. This kind of situation had never occurred before. Even in the previous few tests, the players hadn’t been pushed to this extent.
The large-scale deaths at the very beginning clearly demonstrated the difficulty of this version.
「Elsewhere」
The players from Wood Leaf Village, led by Dung Beetle, were forging ahead, killing a large number of Blood Rabbits along the way.
Although the Reward from Blood Rabbits wasn’t as high as that from Nightmares, they still yielded 100 Contribution Points each.
Killing one was like gaining an extra life.
Now, under Dung Beetle’s leadership, the players from Wood Leaf Village had reached the Indigenous Cave.
"Boss, there’s a cave over there, and it seems to have quite a few lifeforms inside."
Starting with a Dog had prominent white eyes, veins throbbing near their temples—a somewhat fearsome sight.
But the Wood Leaf Village players knew this was a reward from the first Martial Arts Tournament.
At that time, the Ao Xiang Squad had claimed almost all the Rewards.
Everyone received either a special Bloodline or a unique Constitution.
These white eyes were ideal for scouting, which was one of the main reasons they could advance so effectively.
"Lifeforms? You mean there are NPCs here too? Do you think these NPCs will be as tough as those strange creatures we’ve been killing?"
