Chapter 101 - 101 The First to Jump In
101 The First to Jump In
Slowly, a hole large enough for several people to enter and exit at the same time appeared in front of them.
Liang Yan kept the scroll and turned to the group of new disciples. “Alright, once you enter, you can begin the trial. Hurry up and go in.”
Everyone looked at each other. No one was willing to be the first to jump in.
Dong Xi, however, did not hesitate at all and quickly entered the cave. She thought to herself, ‘Why aren’t these guys picking up treasures for free? There must be something wrong with their brains!’
Chi Yan and Ke Xin were both beside Dong Xi. When they saw Dong Xi rushing in, they were both stunned. When they came back to their senses, they quickly followed behind Dong Xi and rushed into the newly opened Dimensional Rift.
When the crowd saw the three of them enter, they began to feel anxious and shouted one after another.
“Don’t push!”
“Argh! Who touched my butt!”
“Don’t push! I don’t see anyone in front!”
…
Liang Yan looked at the chaotic crowd and finally could not help but wave his sleeves and stuff all of them in.
After a moment of silence, Liang Yan once again cast a spell, and the Dimensional Rift closed bit by bit. In the end, it disappeared as if it had never existed.
Liang Yan sat down cross-legged. These new disciples would only be able to come out after ten days, so he could have ten days of peace and quiet.
Dong Xi entered the door and felt a strong suction force. Then, she felt the world spin, just like she had played with a swivel chair in an amusement park in her previous life.
Not long after, she felt a sense of weightlessness.
“Ah!” Dong Xi covered her butt and stood up from the weeds. She looked around and started to feel a little dazed.
Dong Xi, who had landed, stood in the middle of the swamp. She was surrounded by swamps, and only this place was clean.
Dong Xi immediately took out her little leaf and tried to fly out, but the little leaf had just flown up when it fell to the ground, swaying.
Dong Xi was really stunned this time. He muttered to himself, “What’s the situation? Could it be that there’s a flying-restricting array formation?”
However, wasn’t this trial rumored to be a place for picking up treasures? Why was she trapped here the moment she entered?
Based on this, Dong Xi could also be considered a ‘Child of Destiny’.
…
Dong Xi pondered for a moment. She remembered that in a survival video she had watched in her previous life, it had explained that to safely cross the swamp, one had to tie a wooden board to the soles of their shoes to increase the area they could withstand the force.
However, there was no wooden board beside Dong Xi. there were only two scales given by the big snake.
Dong Xi took out the scale, but it seemed to be a little too small.
She frowned and was in a dilemma.
Since the snake could change its size, this scale should be able to do the same, right?
Thinking of this, Dong Xi wanted to try inserting spiritual Qi to see if she could make it bigger.
After Dong Xi injected spiritual Qi into it, he realized that there was no reaction at all. It was fine, Dong Xi still had the snake’s inner core!
Dong Xi carefully used the spiritual Qi in her body to wrap the green spirit Qi, guiding a trace of it to inject into the scale.
Bang bang bang!
The scale in Dong Xi’s hand was like an inflated balloon, instantly becoming much bigger. Dong Xi was instantly happy and continued to inject spiritual Qi.
Dong Xi only stopped when the scale had become as big as a basin.
The snake’s scale was a treasure, like a spirit tool!
If Su Cheng knew what Dong Xi was thinking, he would probably laugh in disdain. This little girl had not seen the world at all.
Dong Xi attached spiritual Qi to her feet and stepped on the scales. She tried to walk to the swamp at the side. After confirming that she really did not sink, she continued to try to walk into the distance.
Dong Xi had just taken a few steps forward when a string of bubbles suddenly appeared in the swamp not far away, as if they were escaping.
Dong Xi’s mind was completely focused on her feet, so she did not notice this at all.
When Dong Xi realized that she really did not sink, she immediately became happy. The snake’s scales were quite useful!
Surveying her surroundings, Dong Xi chose the direction of the forest. However, just as she entered, she seemed to have discovered something and stopped.
She turned her head and looked at the patch of weeds where she had been standing.
This was clearly a swamp, so how could there be a patch of weeds there?
Especially when Dong Xi had only taken a few steps, how did the weeds become so far away?
Dong Xi immediately pretended to leave. Then, she quickly turned her head and saw a tail sticking out of the weeds before sneakily hiding away.
Only then did Dong Xi react. What weeds? That was simply a feint used by a certain demon beast to prey on other prey.
Lowering her head and looking at the endless swamp, Dong Xi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. It was hard to say when or where something would come out.
Dong Xi raised her spirits and walked out of the swamp step by step.
Fortunately, no one dared to enter the swamp all year round. Dong Xi had also picked up some very old spirit pearls along the way, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Along the way, Dong Xi also received messages from Ke Xin and Chi Yan. Dong Xi could only honestly say that she was trapped in the swamp. She estimated that she would need more than 20 hours to get out.
