BXBX NOVEL Chapter 503: 503: Found Ao Yan
But after careful examination, they found no traces of any formations. They couldn’t figure out what was going on.
But just like that, Jiang Xiaobai disappeared into thin air without warning!
“What do we do?” Mo Yu anxiously looked at Zhuang Huanling.
For a moment, Zhuang Huanling clenched her teeth, “What can we do? Our strength is inferior to Jiang Xiaobai’s, and the desert is full of those sneaky, aggressive scorpions. Going back is not an option. We can only press forward.”
With that, Zhuang Huanling gritted her teeth and cursed Jiang Xiaobai in her heart.
Damn it, he could’ve waited for us before rushing ahead. Now that he’s gone, what are we supposed to do?
Although furious, Zhuang Huanling had no choice but to press forward with determination.
If the two of them stayed here alone, they would soon be overrun by the scorpions.
After taking a few steps forward, they too suddenly vanished into the desert.
Their surroundings began to shift rapidly, giving them a roller-coaster-like feeling.
When they came to their senses, they found themselves in a massive hall, where Jiang Xiaobai was standing with Ao Yan and others.
It wasn’t just the six of them, there were many others from different factions, all eyeing the newcomers suspiciously.
Seeing that Ao Yan and the others were safe, Jiang Xiaobai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“What’s the situation here?”
Looking at the dark hall before him, Jiang Xiaobai frowned, scanning the scenery around him as he spoke.
But this seemed to be a fully enclosed hall, he couldn’t see any doors or even cracks!
It was quite bizarre!
“I have no idea. We’ve been here for about half a day, nothing has happened, but people keep showing up.” Ao Yan said.
They too were suddenly transported into this mysterious dark hall while they were walking.
But nothing had happened since they arrived, which was extremely bizarre.
There was nothing inside the hall, and they had tried every possible way to leave but to no avail.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai frowned. He exchanged a random teleportation talisman from his system and found that it worked, which relieved him.
No matter what dangerous event occurred, as long as he placed everyone in the Pagoda, he could escape with the talisman.
So, they were safe for now.
Just when he was thinking about this, the voice of the system suddenly rang out.
“Successfully upgraded to System 3.0!”
“After this upgrade, the triggering conditions for choices will be simplified; one choice will be triggered randomly every three days. The task rewards have also been simplified. The option to increase the lifespan will no longer appear, reward options will focus on enhancing the host’s power.”
“Reminder: you have completed one layer of depiction. You still have one opportunity to draw lots. Please remember.”
“Congratulations, you have triggered a choice!”
“Choice 1: Use the teleportation talisman to leave the Nightmare Hall. Reward: 100 celestial stones.”
“Choice 2: Choose one person and kill him within three minutes. Reward: 10,000 celestial stones, a strand of meritorious service.”
“Choice 3: Pass the Nightmare Trial. Rewards: A Strand of Merit, the power of a law, ten soul paintings, and ten reputation points.”
“Reminder: The Nightmare Trial is different from other trials. This trial will test the host’s psychological resilience. If the host can pass the trial within one day, a random reward will be granted.”
The system’s voice suddenly appeared in his mind, startling Jiang Xiaobai at first. But soon, his surprise turned into excitement.
The system was upgraded again, secretly?
He had wondered why the system had been silent recently. If it wasn’t for the fact that he could still enter the War God’s space and exchange items from the system’s points mall, he would have thought the system had crashed.
And with every upgrade, Jiang Xiaobai gained a lot!
This time, the choices were also exceptionally good. Generally, the third choice offered the best rewards, but also came with the most terrifying difficulties.
Jiang Xiaobai admitted that he always wanted the best reward, but sometimes he had to consider the circumstances. For example, this time, he was definitely going to choose the third option!
Joking aside, the third option seemed tailor-made for him. These rewards would greatly help his cultivation!
Whether it was the power of law or the soul paintings!
“The third one!” Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself in his heart. Afterward, he decided to check the status of the first layer of depiction that he had completed.
However, the system prompted another choice.
“Congratulations, you have triggered a choice!”
“Choice 1: Kiss Ao Yan. Reward: the celestial level body technique ‘Cloud-Stepping Dragon Dance.’
“Choice 2: Choose one person and kill him within three minutes. Reward: 10,000 celestial stones, a strand of Merit.”
“Choice 3: Kick the wall directly in front of you. Reward: one-tenth of the ‘Grand Master Elixir Art’.”
Jiang Xiaobai looked at the three choices before him and his eyes sparkled.
Are you kidding me? The ‘Grand Master Elixir Art’ again?
He hadn’t seen this item in a long time. He only had about three-tenths of the art so far, including the incomplete version given as a reward for Huseng’s training.
Now he had another one?
If he could complete this choice, he would be very close to learning the complete ‘Grand Master Elixir Art’!
Truth be told, Jiang Xiaobai was very tempted!
He knew full well, though, the more tantalizing the reward, the more challenging the task was likely to be!
The ‘Grand Master Elixir Art’ would not come easily!
“Damn, system, are you trying to corner me?” Jiang Xiaobai was torn.
He wanted the reward from the third choice very much. But can it be as simple as kicking the wall?
“That can’t be right.”
“The system specifically mentioned the wall directly in front and was so specific about it. This definitely has to mean something.”
“Maybe, completing the task will get me the reward, but the consequences could be dire!”
Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes, considering his current situation where he didn’t know what was going on, being reckless was inviting disaster.
If unforeseen dangers arose that he could not handle, he would have to use the talisman to escape and miss out on this secret location.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Xiaobai took the safe option and chose the first option. As for the Grand Master Elixir Art, he believed in one thing.
As long as he survived, he would eventually obtain it!
Yes, that’s the spirit!
Then, he suddenly turned and in the stunned gaze of Ao Yan, held her face and planted a kiss on her lips.
In an instant, the room fell into a deathly silence!
