BXBX NOVEL Chapter 896 The Dark Raptors Of The Third Trial
Once Ji Yuan, Zhao Gao, Heng Wujian and Sun Dashu had entered through to the shimmering black portal, they could himself in a similar big massive hallway.
The entire place was dimly lit by profound lights at the sides of the hallway and it was as though they were in a dark maze.
As soon as they were inside, Sun Dashu asked Ji Yuan and also the rest. "Erm, do we have any team strategies?"
Zhao Gao smiled, "We are 4 and Hunter Snow Black is only one. Do we need to fear from a mere hunter? After all, our team has 3 great saints."
Even Heng Wujian was saying coolly, "If Hunter Snow Black comes, we just have to kill her. If she spawns 10 times, then we shall kill her 10 times."
Zhao Gao was smiling as he turned to Ji Yuan to ask, "I wonder what is the strategy that Brother Ji Yuan has in mind?"
Ji Yuan looked a little awkward; he was actually about to say that each time they see Hunter Snow Black coming, they should all run as fast as possible.
But when questioned by Zhao Gao all of a sudden, he put on a thick face by laughing. "We are indeed 4 and have nothing to fear from a mere Hunter Snow Black. Like what Brother Heng Wujian has said, if she comes 10 times, we shall kill her 10 times. If she spawns 10 times, we make her respawn 10 times!"
Sun Dashu lifted his thumb to say, "Excellent strategy!"
Zhao Gao smiled broadly, "You know Brother Ji Yuan. Probably all the divine consorts and even most of speculators will be watching our battle imagery in this arena. Therefore thanks to you, we have a chance to impress our divine consort too."
Heng Wujian was even grinning, "I shall make my divine consort proud of me and I can up my Trust Points with her too."
Ji Yuan noticed that when Heng Wujian was talking about his divine consort, he looked less haughty than usual.
"Haha, Brother Heng Wujian. Who your patron divine consort?"
The golden eyes of Heng Wujian softened and he smiled slowly, "Divine Consort Fu Rong. She\'s a kind maiden… I have to get into the top 6 places for her sake."
Ji Yuan was surprised to see there was actually a tender emotion in his eyes.
But he quickly laughed aloud, "Then this is the plan that we have decided. Haha…"
After he had said that; Ji Yuan, Zhao Gao, Sun Dashu and even Heng Wujian were all laughing together that this was really such a good plan that they had devised.
Soon, they were walking along the dark corridors of the great hall; the entire place was like a maze and it looked a little empty. They could even hear their footsteps in this place.
There were many passages to pick from and soon it was apparent to the team that Ji Yuan was walking too slowly.
Zhao Gao asked him, "Brother Ji Yuan, do you think that we are moving a little slow?"
Even Sun Dashu and Heng Wujian were nodding too.
Zhao Gao saw that Ji Yuan had a blank expression so he smiled, "If we hurry a little, we may find well find some hidden chambers that have some cultivation treasures in it. In this way, we can all also benefit from this trial."
Sun Dashu and Heng Wujian nodded again; they completely agreed with Zhao Gao on this.
Ji Yuan said slowly, "I have a sudden uneasy feeling about this place. Listen, we can even hear our own echoes in this place and also our footsteps. If it is Hunter Snow Black, then won\'t she be able to find us and hunt us down quite easily?"
Zhao Gao laughed, "But we have many and there is no way for her to hide in this great hall…"
All of a sudden Ji Yuan had turned around and he had suddenly materialized 9 flying divine swords to fly to the top of the dark ceilings and a large dark raptor with deadly jaws had suddenly dropped dead in front of them; this was a 6th rank profound beast but when it died, it had also suddenly exploded into a ball of acid.
Zhao Gao, Sun Dashu and even Heng Wujian were all startled; it was because their divine sense had not sensed the presence of any profound beast in this great hall!
Ji Yuan was not sensing with his divine sense but he was looking at the shadows with his keen eyes and he saw a shadow moving subtly.
It may be only a slight movement but it was quickly noticed by Ji Yuan because he liked to ambush in the darkness as well.
Ji Yuan sighed softly, "It seems to me that this foul profound beast is invisible to our divine sense. I think it is because they are primeval beasts rather than desolate beasts. So they have a stronger spirit shielding than what our divine sense can sense."
When Ji Yuan had said this, the other 3 cultivators Zhao Gao, Sun Dashu and Heng Wujian had all turned ashen.
If what Ji Yuan had said was correct then this place was even more dangerous than it looked…
The dark raptor that Ji Yuan had just killed may only be a 6th rank profound beast but its deadly claws were deadly enough to rip apart their profound animus and even ripped their bodies to pieces if it had successfully ambushed them.
Ji Yuan said slowly as he looked up to inspect the tall ceilings, "Not only do we need to worry about the Hunter Snow Black but we also have to worry about these dark raptors that may be more numerous than we think it is."
Then he pointed at the deadly acid next to the corpse of the dead raptor as he returned his flying swords to him, "We must also be wary of them when they are dead. These acids are deadly."
Heng Wujian had unsheathed his divine sword, "Brother Ji Yuan is right. We must not be careless and we must maintain our vigilance."
Zhao Gao and Sun Dashu slowly nodded but there were now fears in their countenances.

Elsewhere, many of the teams were already ambushed by the dark raptors as they were moving too careless or too fast.
Needless to say, the shock of being attacked by the dark raptors led to many casualties and even great shock, especially when the dark raptors could explode even when it was killed.
Many of the divine consorts were shocked because they had never seen a trial like this where the cultivators could get slaughter without even knowing why.
It was as though their divine senses had all failed them completely.
Even when the dark raptors were dropping on them, the cultivators were not even aware or were guarding against it.
It was too unbelievable.
Usually for a cultivator to ambush another, there was still a little time of reaction even when they got ambushed due to their powerful divine senses.
What was going on here?
Even though Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei saw that for now Ji Yuan and his team seemed to be alright but there was an unspeakable fear in her heart about this trial.
In fact, she was trembling because it was as though she could sense something extraordinary about this place.
Tang Manni saw her reaction and she asked, "Sister Yifei, what\'s wrong?"
Xu Yifei shook her head gently, "Nothing…"
Tang Manni looked fearful and so did Ding Jie\'Er, Dongfang Xin and Sun Dingjun as they watched the battle imageries.
While their concerns were primary Ji Yuan but they had suddenly lost quite a few champions to these dark raptors in a hurry and many of these champions were cultivators that could even kill a 7th rank profound beast.
But now, these champions were killed by mere 6th rank profound beasts instead!
The Goddess Destiny had completely stopped sipping her tea now and she was staring at the battle imageries that were flashing in the Divine Temple.
And she was saying silently: Profound darkness…
Elsewhere in the colosseums, the speculators were gasping with shock as the cultivators were getting slaughtered and what was more, when these dark raptors could even explode into burst of acid when killed.
"This trial is too perverse…"
"This is only the 3rd trial?"
"The trials this time seems too hard…"
"How many of the champions can survive to the 4th Trial?"
"Have anyone seen that Hunter Snow Black yet?"
"So far, it is only the dark raptors…"
