I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian
Chapter 35: Trial of Valor: Advancement of the Queen's Test
The end of the passage suddenly opens up, revealing a wide area.
It’s more like a huge trap than a venue!
There are mechanisms everywhere, and flamethrowers are hidden in the cracks of the walls. The blue flames flicker, as if ready to burst out at any time.
On the ground, sharp spikes are densely packed, flashing cold light, making people shudder.
"Oh my god! This is too exciting!" Chen Yong exclaimed, but involuntarily took a few steps back. This is not a trial field at all, it is clearly a death arena!
Dancer Wei clung to Chen Yong, her face pale. "Warrior... I'm scared..."
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you!" Chen Yong patted his chest and pretended to be calm, but he was very panicked in his heart.
Before he finished speaking, several deafening roars resounded throughout the trial field.
Several huge ancient monsters rushed out from the darkness, covered with hard scales, with ferocious faces and bared fangs, and rushed straight towards the crowd.
"Protect the Queen's guests!" Luo Yongshi roared and rushed forward first, waving the spear in his hand and piercing the monster's eyes.
However, the monster had thick skin and tough flesh, and Luo Yongshi's attacks were like scratching an itch.
One of the monsters swung its claw and knocked Luo Yongshi away. He fell heavily to the ground and spit out blood.
"Warrior Luo!" everyone exclaimed.
"I'll do it!" Seeing this, Chen Yong's blood boiled. He didn't care about being afraid. He picked up a fallen wooden stick and rushed forward with a roar.
"Hey! Be careful!" Wei Dancer shouted worriedly.
Chen Yong was fighting with the monster. Although he was not as strong as Luo Yongshi, he was more flexible. He dodged left and right and barely dealt with the monster.
"The monster's weakness is in its abdomen!" Zhaoyang Ruyue observed for a moment and reminded loudly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yong seized the opportunity and stabbed the monster's belly with a stick.
The monster screamed in pain, and its movements slowed down significantly.
"Well done!" Wumeng Tianlong exclaimed, but his eyes were fixed on the surroundings of the trial field, as if he was looking for something.
He always felt that this trial was too deliberate, as if someone was manipulating it from behind.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I see..."
Wu Meng Tianlong's smile deepened. He pointed to an inconspicuous stone pillar on the side of the trial field and shouted, "Everyone, look there! The color of that stone pillar is different from the others. It should be the key to the control mechanism!"
"Oh my god! Brother Tianlong has good eyesight!" While dodging the monster's attack, Chen Yong took the time to take a look and found that the stone pillar was indeed darker in color and had some strange symbols engraved on it.
"Ruyue, you go and try it!" Wumeng Tianlong said to Zhaoyang Ruyue.
"Okay!" Zhaoyang Ruyue responded, nimbly dodged the attack of a monster, and rolled to the side of the stone pillar.
She picked up a wooden stick and tentatively poked the symbol on the stone pillar.
"Rumble--"
There was a sudden earthquake, and the ground of the trial field began to vibrate. Countless sharp spikes popped out from the ground and walls, as dense as bamboo shoots after rain.
The monsters were caught off guard and were stabbed one after another. They screamed in pain and finally fell to the ground, motionless.
"We won! We won!" Chen Yong jumped up excitedly and hugged dancer Wei, his excitement beyond words.
Dancer Wei gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the two smiled at each other, their eyes full of affection.
"Thank you Brother Tianlong for the reminder, otherwise we would be in great danger." Zhaoyang Ruyue walked to Wumeng Tianlong and said gratefully.
Wumeng Tianlong smiled slightly and waved his hand modestly: "It's just a coincidence." His gaze drifted to Xiao Moushi who was hiding in the dark, and a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, "The good show has just begun..." He whispered, his voice so low that only he could hear it.
At this time, Minister Mo walked up to the crowd with a flattering look on his face and announced loudly: "Congratulations to all the warriors for passing the test of courage! Please follow me, Her Majesty the Queen is waiting for you!" He made a "please" gesture and pointed to the depths of the palace. However, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept over the place where Strategist Xiao was hiding, and a barely perceptible sinister smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Tactician nodded slightly and hooked his finger lightly...
Everyone followed Minister Mo through a winding corridor. The walls were carved with strange patterns that were dazzling to the eyes.
Chen Yong couldn't help but grumble, "Are you sure this isn't some ancient QR code? Can you scan it and travel back in time?" Dancer Wei gently hit his arm and scolded him, "Stop talking nonsense!"
At the end of the corridor is a huge bronze door with ferocious animal faces carved on it, which is chilling.
Minister Mo pushed the door open with force, and a sharp "creak" sound came out, as if it was a whisper from ancient times.
The moment the door opened, Zhaoyang Ruyue keenly sensed something strange—a faint smell of blood filled the air, mixed with an indescribable chill.
She calmly grabbed Wumeng Tianlong's sleeve and whispered, "Be careful, something strange is happening!" Wumeng Tianlong nodded and looked around vigilantly.
A low roar came from overhead. Everyone looked up and saw a huge stone slab slowly falling, about to smash them into meat patties!
In a flash, Wumeng Tianlong pushed Zhaoyang Ruyue away, but he had no time to dodge and was about to be crushed underneath... At the critical moment, Zhaoyang Ruyue suddenly grabbed Wumeng Tianlong's hand and pulled him aside, and the two of them barely avoided the fatal blow.
"Oh my god, this is too ridiculous!" Chen Yong patted his chest in shock and complained.
Zhaoyang Ruyue's eyes were as sharp as torches as she quickly scanned the surroundings, finally locking her gaze on an inconspicuous shadow in the corner.
She pointed in that direction and said coldly, "Master Xiao, come out! I've seen through your little tricks!"
From the shadows, Strategist Xiao walked out slowly with a sinister smile on his face: "You are indeed very smart, but unfortunately, you are still too naive!" As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly cracked, and countless sharp wooden stakes emerged from the ground, heading straight for everyone!
"Hmph, a mere trifle!" Zhaoyang Ruyue sneered. She had already seen through Mr. Xiao's scheme and had made preparations in advance.
She took out a dagger from her waist and threw it towards where Xiao Moushi was hiding. The dagger hit the rope of the control mechanism accurately. With a "click", the mechanism failed and the wooden stake stopped attacking.
When Xiao Moushi's conspiracy was exposed, the empress was furious and immediately ordered Xiao Moushi to be imprisoned and await his punishment.
When everyone saw this, they felt very happy and praised Zhaoyang Ruyue's wit and bravery.
Just when everyone thought the test was finally over and they could breathe a sigh of relief, Minister Mo suddenly spoke up: "Congratulations to all the warriors for successfully passing the test of courage! But..." He deliberately prolonged his voice, a mysterious smile on his face, "The real test has just begun!" He paused and continued, "Her Majesty the Queen has prepared the final ultimate test for you - the ultimate question and answer on your understanding of ancient culture!"
