Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 739 - 232: Five-Colored Cloud Crisis
Inside the Beast Blood Realm, the clouds in the sky are red. When the Five-colored Clouds appeared, both Lu and Zi raised their eyebrows.
Upon seeing the Five-colored Clouds, Lu revealed a somewhat unnatural expression.
"Tsk, looks like the others have arrived too."
"Let’s go, if we don’t catch up, we’re going to be overtaken by that woman Hei Linlin again."
The two figures vanished in a flash, disappearing into the morning light at an inconceivable speed.
Three days and nights passed by very quickly.
In the end, only fifty-six Magic Badges remained on Second Elder’s board for newcomers, meaning forty-four people had lost their lives during this trial for newcomers.
At this moment, Yun Sheng had just completed the three-day and three-night trial.
Before leaving the cave, Yun Sheng counted the soul stones in her Beast Language Ring, totaling one thousand one hundred.
One thousand one hundred soul stones in three days and nights.
The Blood Teeth Crocodile is a seventh-eighth rank Demon Beast, and because it is a Blood Cloud Beast, its soul stones are more expensive than ordinary demon beasts’. All things considered, these soul stones could sell for a million Gold Coins.
Yun Sheng didn’t know how Feng Tian was doing on his side, but she had already done her best.
On the very first day, she used several Martial Artist Elite Camp members from the Mainland who were marching to their deaths to lure and kill nearly five hundred Blood Teeth Crocodiles.
Just excavating soul stones and harvesting meat took her an entire day.
At night, she stayed in the cave, and during the day, she continued to poison and kill Blood Teeth Crocodiles using the bodies of the dead ones she had poisoned.
In the following two days, whether it was because of her frenzied poisoning or not, the Blood Teeth Crocodiles became wary and wouldn’t easily surface from the water.
The number of Blood Teeth Crocodiles arriving to meet their deaths became fewer and fewer, and on the last day, there were only a little over three hundred.
It could be said that she had almost exterminated all the Blood Teeth Crocodiles in the river area within a ten-mile radius.
Further down, one would have to go to the downstream of the Feiyue River, or even the middle regions of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm.
There, clearly, weren’t places that a newcomer like Yun Sheng could venture into at the moment.
After getting everything in order, Yun Sheng headed toward the Dutian Inn.
In the inn, Second Elder and several trainees who had returned earlier were already waiting.
Many looked as if they had been through fierce battles, with wounds on their bodies to varying degrees.
Compared to them, Feng Tian was in much better condition. Without uttering a word, he waited on the side for everyone to return before Second Elder announced the final results.
When Yun Sheng walked in, she looked relaxed and comfortable, as if she had just returned from a holiday over these three days.
Upon seeing Yun Sheng, Second Elder couldn’t help but cough awkwardly, his expression somewhat strange.
By nightfall, more than twenty trainees had still not returned.
Second Elder glanced at the board for newcomers and found that the more than twenty trainees who should have returned had suddenly disappeared halfway.
The Magic Badges that represented them had simply vanished without a trace.
There were also no signs of any formidable Demon Beasts around where those trainees disappeared.
Second Elder’s heart suddenly grew heavy.
"It’s bad, someone’s been eaten, the Blood Cloud has taken someone," several Martial Artists covered in blood burst into panic, rushing into the inn.
Those Martial Artists had just passed through the middle region of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm, aiming to reach the inn before the night fully set in.
Little did they know that at this moment, they heard a sharp, whistle-like sound.
Looking up, they saw a bizarre cloud in the sky, flashing with vibrant, multi-colored light.
Suddenly, the cloud belched, and several martial artists who were too close, caught off guard, were swept up by a mysterious force and devoured in an instant.
The cloud continued to move unstoppably, heading towards the central area of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm.
Upon hearing this, the Second Elder realized why more than twenty trainees had disappeared all at once.
It seemed that these trainees had also encountered that bizarre cloud on their way, and were swallowed and carried off by it.
The Dutian Beast Blood Realm is the birthplace of the continent’s Beast Blood Clouds, and the areas where Beast Blood Clouds arise are located within the central part of the Blood Realm.
The Blood Cloud Beasts that roam there are much more formidable than the Demon Beasts at the periphery.
But now, the fates of more than twenty new trainees are unknown, and the Second Elder must ascertain their whereabouts.
As the Second Elder contemplated, there were only thirty new trainees under his command at present.
Although these trainees had completed their initiatory trial, they were still wholly unprepared to venture into the central area of the Beast Blood Realm.
It seemed that they had no choice but to contact the Great Elder and the others to find a group of senior trainees with experience in entering the central area, in order to locate those who had disappeared.
Just as the Second Elder was hesitating to make a decision, a martial artist resembling an elder rushed in.
The man was over seven feet tall with a flushed face, followed by several new trainees who had sustained serious injuries.
"Xiao He, I knew you’d be here. Quickly give me some life-saving elixirs," the martial artist said as he entered, spotting the Second Elder and immediately grabbing him without explanation.
"Teng Leigang, those are your trainees, not mine. What are you shouting about," the Second Elder was already annoyed at having to deal with the unexpected incident.
He became even more irritated by this outburst.
This man, Teng Leigang, was the Sixth Elder of the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp, who, like Elder Helian, had a loud voice and a rash temperament, which the Second Elder found quite displeasing.
"You old coot, if you don’t save them now, don’t expect me to tell you the whereabouts of those missing trainees," Teng Leigang bellowed with eyes wide, urgently needing to rescue people as if putting out a fire, while this old fogey kept dawdling, which infuriated him.
"What, you’ve seen my trainees? Where are they?" the Second Elder asked, promptly producing some elixirs and then ordering the trainees nearby to help treat and bandage the injured.
"Hmph, that unlucky bunch, all swallowed up by that Five-colored Cloud," Teng Leigang recalled the earlier encounter, his back breaking into incessant cold sweat.
"Good for you, Teng Leigang, watching our trainees being devoured and yet not lifting a finger to help," the Second Elder said upon hearing this, enraged to the point of grabbing Teng Leigang’s Martial Artist Robe without regard for the trainees present.
"Old man, you dare to yell at me? If it weren’t for saving that useless bunch, would I have lost several trainees?" Teng Leigang seethed with fury, like a bull seeing red.
This time, the Second Elder had misunderstood the Martial Artist Elite Camp.
Likewise, Teng Leigang, like the Second Elder, led the new recruits of the Martial Artist Elite Camp to participate in the three-day and three-night Blood Refining trial.
As Teng Leigang gathered his trainees, preparing to return to the inn, they encountered more than twenty trainees from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp along the way.
Suddenly, a Five-colored Cloud appeared on the horizon.
The martial artists couldn’t help but take a few more glances due to the peculiar colors of the cloud, which were different from the usual Beast Blood Clouds.
Out of nowhere, the bizarre cloud exerted its power, unleashing a mysterious force like a tornado.
The twenty-some Magic Elite Camp trainees screamed in horror as they were all swept up into the cloud, their fate uncertain.
Thinking that the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, after all, shared a common heritage with the Martial Artist Elite Camp, Teng Leigang found it unacceptable not to assist in the face of death, and thus he ordered several elite trainees to proceed with the rescue.
Little did they know, the Five-colored Cloud was incredibly powerful, and the few martial artists attempting the rescue failed to do so, getting injured or swept away, until he stepped forward and barely managed to save a few with missing arms and broken legs.
