Chapter 165 Trial Realm (4)
Seeing the Wind Chaser Demon General recover from his injuries, Gu Yuchuan showed no surprise or fear. The difference in their strength was too great; even if he were given another life, it wouldn't significantly change the course of the battle.
The Wind Chaser's expression turned extremely grim. He looked up at the sky; it was already too late, and finding the next safe spot was proving difficult.
At this moment, the Flame-Tailed Fox in the safe zone spoke up. They had a cooperative relationship with the Demon King behind them, so the two of them had some face to save.
"Chasing Wind Demon General, I advise you to admit defeat and move to another place. If you move now, you'll still have a chance of survival. You can't defeat the Azure Scale Demon General. You should retreat."
In fact, he had already considered admitting defeat, but since everyone was a cultivator of the same level, admitting defeat would be too embarrassing. Now that someone had given him a way out, he immediately accepted it.
"Alright, I concede defeat in this arena battle."
After he finished speaking, the arena disappeared. "The arena battle is over. Azure Scale Demon General is the winner and has gained one point. Wind Chaser Demon General, please leave this safe zone immediately."
This incident still gave Gu Yuchuan some experience and lessons. The challenge in the safe zone can only be done once. If you lose, you have to leave. Therefore, when choosing a person, it is best not to just care about saving face. You have to be sure of winning. If he had chosen a cultivator at the eighth or seventh level of Foundation Establishment, his chances of winning would have been much higher, and he would not have ended up like this.
Just as the Wind Chaser Demon General was about to leave, suddenly, a long spear pierced through his heart. The one who did it was Gu Yuchuan. He wouldn't let go of the points that were delivered to his doorstep.
The Wind Chaser Demon General couldn't believe his eyes, but his life force was already fading away, and there was nothing he could do but watch his life come to an end. After he turned into fragments, he didn't drop anything, indicating that he had used it all up in the battle just now. This was not good news, as Gu Yuchuan's score had reached five points.
"Congratulations to Qinglin Demon for defeating three cultivators and reaching five points, thus earning the title of War God."
A golden light flashed, and above his head were two large golden characters: God of War. This title of God of War wasn't just for show; it did actually have some effect.
Firstly, it allows him to know the location of the nearest safe point, giving him more time during the day to search for resources and kill people, which is definitely helpful for accumulating points. Secondly, he has a special ability that he can use once a day: teleportation, which allows him to leave the battlefield, making it a very good way to save his life.
After Gu Yuchuan returned to the safe zone, Flame-Tailed Fox spoke sourly: "The Azure Scale Demon General is indeed incredibly resourceful and ruthless. I admire him."
Gu Yuchuan didn't care about the other party's opinion: "This secret realm is for killing. If you can't even change this mindset, I'm afraid you won't be able to obtain the qualification to leap over the dragon gate in the end."
Outside the secret realm, the Demon Lord and the Fox Fairy nodded slightly upon seeing this scene, and then the Fox Fairy spoke.
"This is the little snake demon that the Venerable One values. It does have some comprehension and can see what we mean. Many people still can't see that we created this illusory secret realm so that they can kill without any scruples. If they cared about their status and position, why would we spend so much? Sigh, they still have a lot to learn."
The Demon Lord nodded in agreement: "Indeed, although Yunhaize has been thriving in recent years, our policies and laws have protected them too well, causing them to gradually lose their predatory instincts typical of demons. There are advantages and disadvantages, but it's alright. This time, we'll give them a strong dose of medicine, and we'll surely cultivate a few powerful figures. This is just a piece of cake. We'll learn from this experience and avoid some detours when it comes to the Golden Core stage selection."
The two of them watched and discussed the people inside.
At this moment, darkness finally fell, and the sounds of ghosts wailing and howling came from outside the safe zone, as if countless ghosts were roaming the night. It seemed that this was the danger of the night. There were countless ghosts. Although he could probably defeat them one-on-one, there were just too many of them. Gu Yuchuan calculated that even if he activated the Golden Light Spell, he might not be able to survive the night. However, he should be able to run from one safe zone to another in the near future, which would put him at ease.
He sat in the safe zone all night, as did the vast majority of people. Only a few slept, because such a place was really unsettling. Finally, dawn broke.
"The second day will begin. After three hours, the area of the secret realm will shrink by one-tenth. Cultivators still on the outermost edge will be eliminated. Please remember to keep moving."
A small map appeared in front of Gu Yuchuan. A purple circle marked the safe zone. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. This was PUBG! A fantasy version of PUBG. No wonder it felt so familiar. Now he had to run from the poison gas, but he was inside the safe zone and safe. He could continue searching for supplies without any pressure from running around the map.
After the safe zone that had protected them all night disappeared, everyone ran away in a panic. After all, they could kill each other now. If they didn't run, would they just wait to die?
Gu Yuchuan didn't immediately pursue the enemy. His immediate priority was to gather more supplies. He had learned a valuable lesson from yesterday's battle: resources were paramount. Without the blue talismans he had yesterday, he might not have been able to deal with the Wind Chaser Demon General. And these were just blue supplies; what if they were purple? He didn't even dare to think about it. There might even be a chance he could defeat him. So today, he wanted to see if he could obtain a purple supply.
He hadn't gone far when he entered a small river and found two blue supplies: a talisman to weaken the opponent and a pill to restore 60% of one's condition. They were quite useful, but not what he was looking for. He decided to continue his search.
He had been searching all morning without much success, and he hadn't even found any more blue ones, which made him a little upset. But then his map suddenly changed, and a gradually brightening golden circle appeared near him.
"One hour later, five golden toads will drop in the secret realm. After killing them, they will drop purple resources. The golden toads are at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment."
Good heavens, isn't this just an airdrop? Gu Yuchuan now has reason to suspect that the person who designed this secret realm was also a time traveler, or even a teenager addicted to the internet. This really is too much like PUBG.
He absolutely has to try and get his hands on this golden toad. Anyone who's played PUBG knows that having resources early on is crucial for winning in the final showdown. And since there will definitely be a lot of people looking for the golden toad, he can also rack up some points along the way. Isn't that a great thing?
