Chapter 636: Test of Survival
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The second layer of mythical realm gradually appeared in everyone’s vision. It was a desert with scorching sun and an ocean of sand stretching as far as the eye could see. Just a look at it could frighten people!
How could they walk out of this sort of illusion that confronted with a ruthless desert?
In the first layer of the mythical realm, they had to face vicious beasts, while in the second layer they had to deal with a vile natural environment. There was no water, so how could they hold on for several days? And if that wasn’t enough, even trying to find the direction was easier said than done in a desert!
The supreme transcending level experts were all in complete despair!
They had the ability to fight, but confronting a vile natural environment left them helpless.
They would rather deal with some vicious beasts than fight against nature, because nine out of ten times, they would lose. After all, only when they reached deity realm could they survive in the desert without eating or drinking.
And they clearly hadn’t reached deity realm. Speaking frankly, they were still considered to be mortals. Then how could they move forward while facing such vile environment?
This was the old man’s test for everyone!
Previously, when someone cleared the first layer of mythical realm by a fluke and entered the second layer, they were buried in the ocean of sand and turned into a yellow sand with time. That way, they lost the gamble with the old man and remained in the mythical realm eternally without being able to leave.
But Lin Yuerou wasn’t someone who was willing to give up easily. She kept looking at the scorching sun in the sky and tried to find the right direction in the desert.
“City Lord, we should renounce this layer!”
The supreme transcending level experts were gasping for breath and already willing to give up. Their mouths ran dry from talking in such an environment, but they still persisted. This had turned out to be the biggest test for them.
Most of their lips had began to crack, and their complexions were pale.
Illusion God was at the center of the mythical realm at that moment, playing chess with himself. He said with a slight laugh, “Little girl, luck won’t always help you. At some point in time, it is bound to run out! Properly enjoy the torture of this dangerous environment!”
But Lin Yuerou was still trying to find some flaw, certain that she would be able to do it.
She raised her head and looked in the direction of the scorching sun once more. It was moving toward the west. Although this told them one of the cardinal directions, their path was still a road to ruin if they didn’t know where they could find water!
Most of the supreme transcending level experts were already finding it difficult to manage. As mortals, they were unable to prevail for long in such an environment. If they couldn’t find a way to leave, they would be trapped until death claimed them.
If that truly happened, Lin Yuerou wouldn’t be able to give an explanation to Li Yunmu and fail to live up to his expectations for her.
“This won’t do... I have to uplift them. Others can collapse, but I can’t.”
Lin Yuerou suddenly became even more determined. She took a deep breath and said to everyone, “We need to save our energy for the time being while I try to find a way out of this desert. You all must persevere.”
“City lord, what exactly should we do now?” the supreme transcending level experts asked in unison.
They entrusted their final hope to Lin Yuerou, since she was everyone’s pillar of support. If she gave up for even a moment, then the supreme transcending level experts who followed her staunchly would also lose all hope.
Lin Yuerou felt some dizziness in her brain, but she tried her best to calm herself and began to go over all the information she had gathered.
Soon, she said, “Based on the angle formed between the direction of the sun and the ground, I can make a rough guess about the location of a water source. The only problem in front of us is finding it, but as long as we can find it, this desert will collapse!”
Upon hearing Lin Yuerou’s words, the morale of the supreme transcending level experts was lifted, and their determination to persevere became exceptionally strong.
“We all... are convinced that city lord can lead us out of here!”
Hearing everyone’s praise, Lin Yuerou’s trust in herself also increased greatly. She then said to them, “Walk in the direction I pointed out. I’m certain of it based on the angle between the desert and the sun. As long as we can find the coordinates of that location, we will find the water source!”
All the supreme transcending level experts tried to find the water source along the direction pointed out by Lin Yuerou. But what made them feel despair was that the direction pointed out by Lin Yuerou only contained more desert.
The water source which she had mentioned never appeared. Could she have made a mistake?
The female Zhuge Liang had finally made a mistake while challenging the mythical realm!
But Lin Yuerou was unwilling to accept defeat. It was impossible for her to have been wrong. She was sure that they should be able to find a water source in the direction she had calculated earlier.
Illusion God found Lin Yuerou more and more interesting and said with a faint smile, “Little girl, you should surrender and accept defeat! Staying in this mythical realm to accompany this old man will also be quite pleasurable. What do you say?”
Heavy responsibility burdened Lin Yuerou’s shoulders, so it was impossible for her to waver because of a few lines from Illusion God. Not only would she have to answer to Li Yunmu, there was also that woman Ling Shuang.
Sometimes, Lin Yuerou was quite stubborn. Whatever was said, she would struggle to finish the task even if it was deemed impossible by others!
Lin Yuerou seemed to have sensed some hints from the old man’s words. Why would he suddenly ask her to surrender? Before this, he hadn’t said anything, let alone asked her to surrender.
But now, the old man spoke up and asked them to accept defeat. There could only be two possible reasons for that. First, he felt that the people on her side wouldn’t be able to last much longer, and because he didn’t want any of them to be killed, he came to stop them! But the possibility of this being true was extremely low, because the old man hadn’t ever met any of the supreme transcending level experts, so why would he care about their fate?
On the contrary, the death of those people would probably make him rejoice, since they would add to the pieces of art in his mythical realm.
Then the other possible reason for him advising them to surrender was because they were close to clearing this level. The old man hoped that they would have grown desperate enough to take an easy way out by surrendering right before the finish line.
“City lord, shouldn’t we renounce? At least we would be able to leave this layer. Afterwards,we could look for a way to escape the old man’s mythical realm!”
Lin Yuerou shook her head. How could it be that simple? If it was, wouldn’t it be like a dream come true?
“Senior, I have already found the location of the source of water. You don’t need to continue urging me. I know that I can immediately clear this layer, and that’s why you are panicking.”
The old man burst out laughing, “Then why don’t you try to leave this layer!”
Lin Yuerou narrowed her eyes. “The water source should be underneath the desert, which is why you are nervous. You got afraid that we will discover this secret and urged us to surrender, right?”
