The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3411: Falling into a trap
You Kun looked at the lush green mountains before him, then looked up at the billions of stars in the sky, his eyes filled with awe.

After entering the portal, he was teleported here.

A starry island filled with lush vegetation.

The entire island was enveloped by a light curtain, silently floating in the starry sky. The light curtain was transparent, and if you turned your head, you could see the dead end and the bottomless cliff behind you.

This trial ground seems to have been directly taken from some other world and placed here. There are no birdsongs or beast roars, only endless greenery that blots out the sky.

At the highest point of the entire island stands a towering tree, which is incredibly eye-catching from afar, its enormous canopy covering most of the island.

At You Kun's feet, there was a narrow path that twisted and turned, stretching all the way up the mountain and finally leading to the towering tree.

Although there are no signs on this road, it is obvious that this is the Road of Trials.

Follow this path straight ahead until you reach that big tree; that's what every trial participant needs to do.

Before You Kun could even take a step, a flash of light appeared behind him, and a burly man appeared behind him. He was the trial participant who had followed him in earlier.

The burly man's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, his gaze filled with shock: "This is a man-made star island!"

You Kun sized up the burly man: "Aren't you going to wait?"

The burly man laughed and said, "I don't know if they'll wait, but I'm not going to."

You Kun laughed and said, "Are you afraid I'll beat you to it?"

The burly man answered frankly, "Yes... Fellow Daoist You, let me introduce myself. I am Wu Heng from the Hun Tian Sect."

You Kun cupped his hands and asked, "Fellow Daoist Wu, what are your plans?"

Wu Heng glanced at the giant tree atop the distant mountain and pondered, "We don't know the details of the trial yet. Why don't we set off together first, and discuss any disagreements later?"

You Kun readily nodded: "Okay!"

"Then let's not delay any longer, let's go!"

Wu Heng took the lead and walked forward. You Kun looked at Wu Heng's back and a look of sympathy flashed in his eyes.

Lin Chen was looking for lone trial participants, and you couldn't wait to come in. Isn't that exactly what Lin Chen wanted?
Perhaps it won't be long before we become brothers in misfortune.

The two walked side by side, but before they had gone far, they both stopped at the same time, because streaks of light suddenly appeared beneath their feet.

The hidden formation has been activated!

A beam of azure light shot into the sky, instantly enveloping an area of ​​several hundred feet in radius, with the two people at the center.

The towering trees, vines, and grass around them suddenly began to grow wildly, as if they had come to life, and surrounded the two of them.

Wu Heng and You Kun both changed color and each summoned their own magic weapons, instantly constructing a defensive barrier.

The thick branches and vines resembled green dragons, rushing towards the two of them.

A cyan wooden staff flew up and stuck into the ground. Instantly, countless roots pierced the earth, and countless branches sprouted from the staff head. The branches grew rapidly and transformed into giant pythons that stabbed out in all directions.

"Crack!"

"Kaka!"

Countless branches intertwined, then twisted and broke.

The two people appeared quite small amidst the swirling, battling trees and vines.

You Kun threw out a flying sword, which emitted a terrifying light and slashed at the trees that were rushing towards him. In an instant, countless thick branches broke off, like a giant dragon being cut in half at the waist.

After a long and fierce battle, everything within a radius of several hundred feet was shattered, and the offensive finally slowed down and then subsided.

You Kun and Wu Kun both caught their breath, exchanged a glance, and saw the shock in each other's eyes. This was only the beginning, and a single formation already possessed such power. What kind of attacks would they face if they continued?
"Let's recover first!"

The two put away their magical artifacts and, keeping a distance from each other, began to recover.

Inside the Linglong Tower, Lin Chen and the others watched the entire battle unfold.

Sun Yixiao said with a wry smile, "Wood-attribute divine abilities against each other consume a lot of energy."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "High energy expenditure? Great!"

Sun Yixiao guessed Lin Chen's plan: "You plan to take down Wu Kun, and then strike when they are exhausted?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I'm prepared to let him walk right into my trap!"

Sun Yixiao asked curiously, "How exactly does one walk into a trap?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "As we go up, the challenges we face will inevitably become more and more difficult. When they can't hold us off any longer, You Kun will throw out the Linglong Pagoda, and the two of them will hide inside together..."

Sun Yixiao stared in disbelief, then gave a thumbs up: "You're ruthless!"

A place of trial.

After taking the pills and restoring their spiritual power, the two continued forward.

They hadn't gone far when the two activated the formation again.

This formation is different from the first one, but its power is even greater.

The two of them worked together, almost exhausting their spiritual energy, but finally managed to hold on.

Wu Heng's face already showed undisguised worry: "We've only gone so far, and the formation is already so powerful. Will we be able to reach the top of the mountain?"

You Kun looked back and said with a wry smile, "The most important thing is that there's no turning back; we have no choice!"

Wu Heng said in a deep voice, "Does this mean that if we fail to pass the test, we will only die here? This trial ground is too cruel."

You Kun glanced at the giant tree in the distance, his eyes revealing a subtle meaning: "I have a magic weapon with extremely strong defensive capabilities. If we can't hold on any longer, we can hide inside the magic weapon and let it continue to withstand the array's attacks. We can then recover our strength inside the magic weapon and go out to continue our challenge once we've recovered!"

Wu Heng's eyes lit up: "That's excellent."

After they recovered, the two continued along the road.

This trial ground is quite magical. When the two were going through the trial, everything around them was destroyed. But after they passed through, everything sank into the earth. Then, endless vines and trees grew wildly, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original lush and green state.

The two reached the foot of the mountain and passed the third obstacle.

As the two reached the mountainside, the giant trees at the summit became increasingly clear.

The fourth level.

Although they are all wood-attribute formations, each one is more powerful than the last, with increasingly dense spiritual energy contained within them, making their attacks more ferocious.

You Kun and Wu Heng joined forces and held out for two hours before their spiritual energy was exhausted and they could no longer hold on.

You Kun "summoned" the Linglong Pagoda, which floated in mid-air, scattering golden light and enveloping the two of them.

You Kun shouted, "Don't resist!"

Although Wu Heng was wary of You Kun, he simply couldn't resist any longer. He steeled his heart, gave up resisting, and let the golden light fall on him. He let the suction force pull him into the Linglong Tower in an instant.

Wu Heng's vision blurred, and he found himself on the summit of a snow-capped mountain. In front of him, two men and a woman were staring at him, one of whom, a short, stout middle-aged man, had a sly smile on his face.

"Hehe, the fish is in the net..."
