Chapter 5 - Trial Begins, The Fear Demons ' attack

The other five people hadn't gone far. Not long after, everyone returned to the place they first appeared.

Cheng Shi looked at Chen Chong and found that he had already converted the greatsword in his hand into a shield.

The Warrior of Order is one of the few professions known for its defense, making it very suitable for survival Trials.

The Shield Sword is a weapon that can transform its shape at will, an A-Level item that can only be dropped above Ladder 1600.

Chen Chong just broke 1600 and already got the Shield Sword. It seems his luck is good.

"I found today's Order Anchor Point. A bar was buried under the ruins. I dug through the rubble and found a rule of the bar: Today, only fruit wine is served."

Saying that, Chen Chong flipped his hand and took out another bottle of fruit wine, a brand he hadn't seen before.

This time it was obviously not found in the ruins, but came from his storage space.

Every Player has a personal space the size of a safe, used to store the most important things.

Cheng Shi also had one, filled with many strange and wonderful things, but what he didn't expect was that someone else liked to keep drinks in it, just like him.

The others were clearly more puzzled than Cheng Shi. Seeing everyone looking at him, Chen Chong smiled and explained:

"The pressure is too great. If I don't have a couple of drinks normally, I can't sleep at night, so I always keep a few bottles handy. Take a sip each, and the glory of Order will protect you. Don't worry, the alcohol content is very low and won't affect the upcoming battle."

The Edict of Order is to seek Order. Only those who follow certain laws and rules can receive blessings.

And those who want to receive the protection of Order must also abide by the Order that has been found.

Simple rule anchor points can obviously increase everyone's safety index, and everyone was very happy. They took the wine bottle in turn and took a small sip.

Only Cheng Shi, after taking it, guzzled down half the bottle.

Chen Chong's eyebrow twitched. He suddenly felt that this Priest was a bit unreliable.

Cao San Sui, who was next to him, seemed to have a smooth Edict as well. He took out several golden pocket watches and began to distribute them to everyone.

"I have anchored time and calibrated all the pocket watches. This watch will chime 5 minutes, 3 minutes, and 1 minute before the hour. Please pay attention to maintaining your own state. Time Walkers can only decide when the Time Battlefield begins and ends, but they cannot decide your state within the Time Battlefield."

Cheng Shi took the pocket watch from Cao San Sui's hand and began to examine it carefully.

It was clearly a pure gold pocket watch, even the hands were glittering gold, looking very valuable.

Unfortunately, in the current world, gold is not something valuable.

Trials that require gold are even less difficult than Trials that require food.

But this does not prevent some Players from still valuing gold to fulfill the regrets of their previous lives.

Seeing everyone examining the pocket watch, Cao San Sui said again:

"To prevent anyone from being unclear about the Time Battlefield, I need to remind everyone again:

The Edict of time is precision and punctuality.

When I set up the Time Battlefield, we must activate it on the hour and end the battle and conflict at another hour.

If we fail to do so, we will be trapped in an eternal time loop until we succeed.

But each loop will dissolve our concept of time!

Excessive looping will cause us to get lost in the long river of time. As for the result, I'm sure I don't need to say more.

Therefore, if you are confident that you can solve the problem in one go, do not activate it.

time reversal is not omnipotent."

Players who have lived until now have basically come into contact with various combinations of different professions and Faiths, and are already familiar with this set, so they all nodded.

After that, the other four people, including Cheng Shi, also spoke up, saying that their Edict was smooth.

Chen Chong saw that everyone was ready, nodded, and suggested:

"There are still some buildings in the east of this ruin that haven't been completely destroyed. To be safe, let's go there to hide until we encounter one side of the War or are passively engaged, and then make plans. How about it?"

"I have no objection."

Xia Wan's tone was still cold. She continued:

"I found the corpses of the Bomet people under the surrounding ruins. This is probably a Town in Hope Continent. In the chat records of the Hunter channel, someone said that Hope Continent was destroyed by the Skeleton Army."

Cao San Sui took over the conversation:

"That's right, our location should be near Secret Forest County. There are more people in the Mage channel who study Trial history. If we are really facing the Hope Continent counterattack, then what we are about to face is probably the right flank of the Skeleton Army."

Cheng Shi admired these people who studied Trial history, because he never studied it and had no patience to study it.

In this strange world, living had already exhausted half of his energy.

As for the other half, it had to be saved for deceiving people.

Half a month after Faith Game began, some people noticed that in every Trial, Players seemed to be teleported to a world that had once existed.

Many people were curious about this world that only existed in Trials, so they began to collect background information and organize it, sharing it with the public in the professional and Faith channels.

Unfortunately, in Cheng Shi's Faith channel, there was no useful information to be seen at all.

All the historical fragments about the Trial background were seen from the professional channels.

He was indeed a Priest.

Chen Chong was clearly not a historian either. He frowned and asked:

"So?"

Xia Wan continued: "There is very little information about the right flank battle. If I remember correctly, the most recorded should be..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the sky in the distance.

Everyone was startled and quickly turned their heads to look.

They saw that the sky in the distance had turned inky black at some point. Dense black wings flapped, covering the sky and sun, approaching like a storm.

...Fear Demons."

Xia Wan's face was gloomy as she spoke the answer.

Fear Demonss are a type of hell demon with fleshy wings on their backs, specializing in feeding on fear and excelling at creating chaos. They are followers of corruption and mortal enemies of Birth.

Fear Demons

Looking at this terrifying number, if they really engaged, the six of them would probably not be enough to fill the teeth of the great army.

"This is... too many!"

Cheng Shi frowned and glanced at his pocket watch, finding that the hour had just passed, arriving at 9:01. The Time Battlefield seemed to have not had time to open.

Cao San Sui's face also changed. It was clear that he also didn't expect the pace to be so fast this time, and they encountered a flying army right from the start.

"Brother Cao, is your 1900 match this scale??" Song Yawen said in shock.

Cao San Sui felt a pang of bitterness inside. Bullshit, I've never seen this either.

"Retreat, quickly, before we are discovered, retreat into cover. They are marching, we need to avoid direct engagement, let's go!"

Chen Chong shouted, took off the huge shield on his body, covered the light on the shield, and led everyone to crouch down and run to the east.

Song Yawen took the lead. As he quickly rushed out and came into contact with the shadows in the ruins, his whole person turned into a wisp of smoke and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Assassin's professional skill, Shadow Shuttle.

Assassins move in the darkness, shuttling under the shadows. Within a short distance, they can change positions by relying on shadows and can conceal themselves with the help of shadows.

This concealment is not physical hiding, but entering the shadow plane and disappearing directly.

Xia Wan's speed was no less impressive. As a Hunter, agility was their synonym.

However, she did not run forward blindly like Cheng Shi and Nangong, but scattered something on the ground as she ran.

Cheng Shi glanced back and found that she was throwing Creation Grass Seeds.

This kind of thing would definitely not be real grass seeds, but the blessing of Birth to the Hunter profession.

This is a life trap. life forms touched by the grass seeds will be influenced by the will of Birth, thus beginning to desire reproduction and rapidly gestating independent individuals that deviate from the main consciousness within their bodies.

Just like the pregnant woman who desired to become a mother that Cheng Shi dealt with earlier.

This method is almost the main attack method of Birth followers.

They never directly destroy enemies, but twist them and make them destroy themselves.

Although the God of the Fate of Life leans towards Order, the Order in will does not affect the distortion in matter. In some specific forms of expression, the orderly True Gods are not much different from the chaotic Evil Gods.

Even more so.

"I need at least 57 minutes and 42 seconds to reset the Time Battlefield. During this time, I can only affect your time Domain. Pray, my friends, and hope they haven't found us."

"Stop talking nonsense, use it now, give us acceleration!"

Chen Chong low roared, and his forward charging speed increased by another third.

Time Walkers can control time, which is very useful in the speed phase.

Cao San Sui actually didn't want to consume too much mental energy too early, but there was no better way now, so he clenched the pocket watch in his hand and shouted to all his companions beside him:

"Area, Fast Forward!"

As soon as the words fell, the figures of the five people accelerated as if they had been pressed with a double-speed button, and in the blink of an eye, they ran nearly a hundred meters.

On the contrary, in another area next to the accelerated area, the flow of air seemed to have frozen, and the entire area was as if the pause button had been pressed, even the dust that had been kicked up stopped in mid-air.

The potential energy of time is always balanced within a certain range. When one side is fast, the other side naturally slows down.

Cheng Shi only felt the wind under his feet, and he was extremely comfortable. What would have taken several minutes to run to, he reached in just over ten seconds.

Unfortunately, this acceleration effect could only take effect within a certain area. After leaving the area, their speed immediately dropped back to their original state.

Although Cao San Sui's rank was very high and his condition was significantly better than everyone else, accelerating such a large area at once still made him somewhat tired. Chen Chong saw that he was a bit exhausted, grabbed him, and threw him on his back to continue running forward.

"Assassins go first, clear the ruins, find a stronghold!"

"Nangong, restore the Mage's mental energy! Priest of Birth, don't move around randomly, it's not your time to exert force yet."

"Lay more traps for the Creation Hunter. The Fear Demons scouts won't always march in the air. When they land, drag it out as long as possible!"

Chen Chong had good judgment and his command was calm. He clearly reached 1600 based on his strength.

But the current situation was too bad, leaving him with no other choice. As he ran, he carefully selected ruined walls that could accommodate six people, hoping to escape disaster.

However, the change in the battle situation was much faster than expected.

Before they could even run into the building that was still standing in front, the dense fear Demon Army had already pounced towards the ruins.

Their scouts had already discovered the presence of the Players.

"Yah--Sa--"

The terrifying roar spread throughout the entire ruin, and the Fear Demonss' excitement was clearly felt. They seemed to have found an unexpected surprise during their march.

"It's too late, the grass seeds have been triggered! Engage!"
