Chapter 520: Chapter 55 Aced!
Flames were burning.
Soran saw the bunch of Dretch rus.h.i.+ng over and ran without any hesitation.
Without strength, weapons, or equipment, he was just an ordinary person today. He would have some difficulties in dealing with one Dretch, let alone a large group of Dretches. For some reason, he couldn’t tell others. He now had a fairly clear understanding of the strength of the Dretch. With his current status, he couldn’t even take one hit of ‘Stinking Cloud.’
“Strength around 10!”
“Const.i.tution around 10!”
“Dexterity seems a little higher, but it wouldn’t be higher than 14!….”
After running a few steps, Soran already made a general judgment of his own attributes. He was now only a little better than a normal person. As for running away from the village, Soran basically ruled it out directly. First, he was quite repelled by that idea. Second, it was already dark outside. When he saw the road in the village, he knew that this village was nowhere near a city.
With his attributes right now, a wild beast would be able to kill him easily.
Without his night vision ability, he could not see anything in the night!
“Weapon!”
“I need a weapon first!”
It was impossible to kill the Dretches with his bare fists; those sharp claws would cut his stomach open easily. He had experience fighting, but without a weapon, it was impossible to kill these Dretches. There was fire everywhere, and the fighting continued on the other side of the village, but the voices of resistance had weakened a lot. The area of the village was not small, probably hundreds of people lived here. Many houses were on fire, so Soran couldn’t rush in to look for weapons.
“There must be a blacksmith shop around!”
Soran quickly looked around and said, “With this kind of village, they must have a blacksmith to make their tools!”
He moved quickly.
After only about 100 meters of running, Soran already felt tired; however, he had found a blacksmith shop.
Indeed!
There was a blacksmith shop in this village.
Soran quickly went into the shop, but he was shocked!
Cooking knives, sickles, hoes.
There were no long swords or curved swords. The sharpest weapon Soran could find was a cooking knife!
The most abundant tool in the blacksmith’s shop were sickles, and then a newly a.s.sembled hoe. Even the hammer for making smithing couldn’t be found. It seemed that Soran might have had too high of an expectation. A truly good blacksmith probably wouldn’t be in a village like this; the blacksmith here probably only needed to forge these simple tools.
Soran couldn’t care this much!
He picked up the cooking knife and rushed toward the Dretches.
No more running.
His Const.i.tution was no better than demons, so running more would only be detrimental to him.
“Tang!”
The cooking knife came in contact with the claw of Dretch, and Soran became shocked; the knife he held had a dent.
“d.a.m.n!”
“Shash.”
A gush of blood came out.
Even with a cooking knife, Soran was still able to slash open the Dretch in front of him. If not for the weapon, even with his current strength, he still could end these Dretch in seconds.
“Whooo!”
The blood attracted the other Dretches, and they all crowded on Soran.
“d.a.m.n it!”
Soran suddenly opened his eyes, and an invisible wave came out. He stomped his foot gently, and the ground within 20 meters around him was completely cracked; some stone pillars even fell. With his gentle Stomp, Soran even destroyed the array under his feet.
Tower spirit 13 frowned and said, “Challenge failed!”
“Please do not destroy this place! Or I will take you as an enemy!…”
With a gentle wave of the tower spirit’s hand, the cracked ground gradually closed, the collapsed stone pillars rose again, and the magic array under Sorann’s feet reappeared.
Indeed, this place was completely controlled by it.
Soran was slightly tired.
However, his heart was filled with a burning flame, and he said, “One more time! I wasted some time in the beginning!”
It was a shame that he had died in the hands of Dretches!
With a sword, even a poor sword, he would have easily dealt with the Dretches.
However, there was only a cooking knife!
How would he fight them with that!
The towering spirit was still calm and said slowly, “challenge failed! You are currently in a state of tiredness! Forced entry would cause soul weakness! Please wait 48 hours for another challenge! ”
“However,”
“The ladies may give it a go.”
The teleportation array was glowing once more.
What incredible power!
Even Soran, who had the power of a deity, could not figure out what method the original creator of this place used. Unless solving the secret of this half-plane, it was hard for them to figure out the key.
“Why don’t we give it a try?”
Gloria seemed to be very eager. As a spellcaster, she was very interested in this mysterious method, especially the mysterious knowledge of the Arcane Empire. She was interested in experiencing it herself!
The high-priest shook her head and said, “You two go ahead; I’m not in good condition.”
She was still injured.
If she failed the challenge, she might suffer great damage.
Two glows of magic appeared.
The eager Gloria and the curious fallen witch went into the portal. Everything in front of them changed, just like how Soran saw it.
After only about 5 minutes.
Gloria’s figure appeared in the array. She was speechless and depressed. She came to Soran’s side and said with a sad voice, “I had no magic at all!”
The result of the challenge was obvious.
After around ten minutes.
The figure of the fallen witch also appeared in the array. She came to Soran and said, “there was also no way out. There was a wizard guarding outside!”
Obviously,
Soran and Gloria both chose to stay in the village, while the fallen witch chose to leave.
However, it seemed that the results were the same.
The tower spirit had a calm expression as he said, “Challenge failed!”
“Please go back!”
“You are all welcome to come back for another challenge!… the challenge you all faced was only level 1!…”
“If you succeed in completing the challenge, I’ll give you all permission to the first layer.”
“Of course, if you all have any dissatisfaction with this challenge level, you can also choose to challenge me directly. If you defeat me, you will gain control of the half-plane.”
The tower spirit waved its hands.
With the fluctuation of element power, a huge element pool could be vaguely felt. Then an Elder Earth Elemental, an Elder Fire Elemental, an Elder Wind Elemental, and an Elder Water Elemental appeared. The surrounding stone statues also seemed to move, turning into tall Stone Golems.
