Chapter 18: Passing the S-Class Trial Mission
The roots, as thin as a thumb, quickly sprang up in golden flames, and then turned into charcoal.
Climbing all over the wall of the tree roots, all of a sudden stimulated, all "live" over, like a dense, crawling on the wall of the snake group.
Banyan tree spirit did not expect this foreign mortals, actually have such a not bad wisdom, see their own lies were demolished, it simply do not pretend, said sternly:
"Since you are unwilling to come over, then go to hell."
The ground of the grotto cracked in response, the broken pieces rumbled, and a thick tree root broke out, like a twisted tentacle, curling towards Zhang Yuanqing.
At this distance, even without the Red Dancing Shoes, Zhang Yuanqing was able to escape.
Sure enough trying to trick me into getting closer ...... Instead of retreating, Zhang Yuanqing advanced, a sliding shovel dodged the entanglement of the tree roots, closing the distance between himself and the banyan tree, and then popped up, bouncing up a few meters high, dodging the sweep once again.
More and more roots broke through the surface of the ground and danced wildly in the grotto.
Zhang Yuanqing pranced and jumped among the tentacles with an elegant posture, and no matter how hard the tree roots tried, they just couldn't catch him.
If he hadn't taken in the Red Dancing Shoes and relied on the Vorpal Pestle alone, a novice facing this level would have an extremely high mortality rate.
Thud ...... The Red Dancing Shoes sprinted across the wall, avoiding the tree roots' entanglements and slaps, and with a flick of his knees, propelled Zhang Yuanqing arrow-like through the tree roots' siege and crashed into the tree trunk.
At the sight of the human who had shot up, the tree trunk's face showed obvious horror.
The rocks at the bottom of the tree roots cracked open, and more roots erupted like a well, forming a wall of wood.
Zhang Yuanqing chiseled the Vorpal Pestle hard.
Golden flames spread across the surface of the wooden wall, burning the banyan tree spirit as it screamed in rage.
Zhang Yuanqing smoothly crashed through the carbonized wooden wall and sent the three-pronged spikes of the Voodoo Pestle hard into the tree trunk.
The three-pronged spikes dug deep into the tree trunk, and a round of flourishing blazing sun erupted from the pitch-black cavern.
The golden light twisted the tree trunk and distorted the human face, causing it to emit a mournful scream and breathe snorting green smoke.
In an instant, the souls that were hidden in the tree trunk also turned into green smoke in their miserable screams.
All the ghosts and monsters disappeared, dissolving into the golden light.
As the golden light dispersed, the cave returned to darkness, but all of a sudden, it became clean and clear.
The first thing Zhang Yuanqing did was not to check if the Banyan Tree Spirit was dead or not, but to hurriedly remove the Red Dancing Shoes from their wearing state and put them into the item bar.
It had been almost five minutes since he entered the cave.
After storing the Red Dance Shoes, Zhang Yuanqing then turned his attention to the large banyan tree, which was withered, its bark cracked and losing moisture, and its roots scattered all over the cave.
An icy voice rang in Zhang Yuanqing's mind:
Ding, congratulations on completing the S-rank trial quest, the character card is open and the rewards are being settled.
Acquired item/props: voodoo mortar and pestle.
Rewarded experience value: 100%
You have become a Nightwalker.
Rewarded experience value: 20%
Character card reward activated. Rewarded prop: Red Dancing Shoes.
Getting out of the spirit realm in five minutes ......
It's finally over ....... Zhang Yuanqing only felt physically and mentally exhausted, as if his entire body was deflated.
He had cleared the She Spirit Tunnel, accomplishing what no one had been able to do in decades.
As the beep sounded, the black moon mark on Zhang Yuanqing's forehead protruded, and a strange and mysterious power was released from the scalding mark, rushing into his body in an almost barbaric and irrational manner.
His skin was red as if he was a boiled shrimp, and the bizarre and mysterious power rushed through his body, integrating into a single cell and into a single bone, his arm injuries recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He couldn't help but twitch, two illusory black moons protruding from his eyes, followed by concealment.
The pain quickly disappeared, followed by a hot spring-like comfort that hit him.
So comfortable ....... Zhang Yuanqing only felt lethargic and comfortable, wanting to stretch, he instinctively looked down and was taken aback to see his body standing in place.
My soul is out of body?
Panic flared up in his heart, and he subconsciously wanted to return to his physical body, and as soon as he thought about it, his soul immediately sank down and merged into his body.
After regaining control of his physical body, Zhang Yuanqing realized that there was something more to this body, something called talent.
He naturally accepted this talent as if he was born with it.
At the same time, it only felt like his body was filled with boundless energy and strength, and he even had the illusion of blowing up a planet with one punch.
Zhang Yuanqing opened his character attribute panel:
Name: Yuanshi Tianzun Race: Human Occupation: Nightwalker Level: 1
Skills: Night Journey, Devouring Spirit, Spirit of Taiyin Experience Value: 20%
Moral Value: 60 (initial value)

Devouring Spirit (Active): devours souls to enhance one's spirituality.
Spirit of Taiyin (Passive): The Night Wanderer is physically strong, possessing exuberant vitality and strong self-healing power, and in the night, the Night Wanderer's abilities will be greatly increased.
He had officially become a Night Wanderer God, and with 20% more experience value, plus the prop rewards, the harvest from this trial of the Spirit Realm was a rich one.
Zhang Yuanqing opened the item bar, and the Red Dancing Shoes were quietly lying in the first compartment, and the half hour countdown had disappeared.
He had officially become the owner of the Red Dancing Shoes.
Two minutes later, he initially adapted to his physical state, and the wounds on his arms had healed.
Then, Zhang Yuanqing cast his gaze towards the sarcophagus.
The end of the quest meant that the exploration level had reached 100%, so the sarcophagus was empty?
"It seems that the Banyan Tree Spirit is the Temple Blessing, in this case, all the "characters" have appeared, how did he turn into a tree spirit, and is the sarcophagus his physical body?"
Thinking this way, Zhang Yuanqing came to the sarcophagus with faith, intending to lick the bag, maybe there are treasures buried in the coffin.
There were still more than two minutes to exit the Spirit Realm, enough time.
Just to be on the safe side, he summoned the Red Dancing Shoes again and chose to wear the mode.
The sarcophagus was wrapped by dried tree roots, Zhang Yuanqing waved his voodoo pestle and chopped off these roots that had lost their moisture one by one, and only then could he see the full picture of the sarcophagus.
It was about two meters in length, the coffin body was carved with delicate patterns, and the lid accumulated a light layer of ash.
"Zaza ....."
He slowly pushed open the lid of the coffin and fixed his eyes towards the inside of the coffin, as a Night Wanderer, he could easily see through the darkness even without the help of the divine power of the voodoo pestle.
Inside the sarcophagus lay a female corpse, wearing a long-decayed ancient dress, arms crossed over a flat belly, waist as thin as a willow, graceful body, no rot.
Female corpse looks beautiful, cheek lines outline the perfect face, agar nose straight and delicate, lips sexy and pale lips, eyes closed, eyelashes thick interlaced.
Absolute beauty.
This ...... Zhang Yuanqing backed up in shock, with just one thought in his mind:
It really is the Three Dao Mountain Nyonya?
Compared to the sculpture in the main hall, this female corpse was less charitable, more cold and colorful, less rounded, and more thin as a wonderful woman.
However, the brows definitely had a seven or eight percent resemblance.
"Could it be that the banyan tree spirit is telling the truth? The source of the temple disciples' disappearance is the Three Daoist Mountain Maiden?"
For a moment, he was terrified, doubting his own judgment, which was inevitably accompanied by a great crisis.
"No, no, my mission has indeed been accomplished, which means that my speculation is correct. So, the maiden in the sarcophagus belongs to the hidden quest?"
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly regretted opening the sarcophagus with a cheap hand.
Since the sarcophagus contained the Three Daoist Mountain Maiden, the Mountain God Temple was bound to hide a deeper plot.
It was highly likely that this would trigger a series of bad chain reactions, such as triggering a hidden quest.
He was just about to cover the sarcophagus back up when he suddenly saw a dark sheen from between the lips of the female corpse.
There was something?
After a slight hesitation, he pinched his pointed jaw and pried open the plump and sexy lips to get a better look at the dark luster.
It was a dark and pure bead.
Name: Spirit Body Crystals Type: Consumable Function: None Introduction: Soul crystals that have been purified by the power of the Sun God, containing a huge amount of spiritual power, the most desired tonic of the Night Wanderer.
Remarks: The Three Daoist Mountain Maiden has purified the distractions in the crystals, so please feel free to consume them.
Zhang Yuanqing stretched out two fingers and clipped out the bead.
The bead quickly dissolved into a viscous energy that fled into the center of his brow.
Ding, you have gained 22% experience value.
Zhang Yuanqing's strength soared, once again creating the illusion of blowing up a planet with a single punch.
He felt that he was clearly stronger by a hair, and without checking the attribute panel, he could clearly notice the improvement in his skills.
Night Journey's delay time had increased by three seconds, from six seconds to nine.
Unexpectedly got stronger, Niang Niang you just rest in peace ........ Zhang Yuanqing silently covered the sarcophagus back up, pretending that he had never opened it.
Next, while waiting for the seconds to be read, Zhang Yuanqing was a bit restless and anxious, fearing that something bad and unusual would happen, such as touching the hidden quest and interrupting the return.
Luckily, nothing happened, and Zhang Yuanqing watched as the timer on the fluorescent blue panel began to count down:
5, 4, 3......
Suddenly, a long exhaling sound rang out in the dark and silent cave.
Zhang Yuanqing: "......"
The lid of the coffin was pushed open from the inside, and a pale and beautiful hand poked out and grabbed the edge of the coffin, and immediately, the beauty in the sarcophagus sat up.
The female corpse's deep pool-like eyes swept across the grotto and locked eyes with Zhang Yuanqing whose expression was stiff.
She gazed at Zhang Yuanqing, and the corner of her mouth lifted.
This smile almost caused Zhang Yuanqing to die on the spot from fear.
At that moment, the scenery was like a reflection on the water being ripped apart by the wind, and the reading ended.
The sky and earth were a blur.
In a few moments, the picture gradually stabilized, bright snow-white incandescent light shone down from overhead, clean white walls, desks, computers, televisions, double beds .......
The curtains swayed in the wind, and outside the window was the crisp chirping of birds.
He had come back to earth.
.....
ps:No more today, even more feel the plot has coherence, so that you have a better reading experience. Typos are now corrected after the change.
