Chapter 85: Clown
Underdark Treesea Secret Realm, Sixth Level
[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.01]
[Beep, extraction successful…]
While walking in the lush forest, Heath continued to extract the visible substances around him.
The milky white fruit that looked like a woman’s breasts, the Gold Coin Grass that looked like gold coins, the coconut-shaped coconut fruit that was indeed filled with alcohol after being cracked open, the angry flower that would get angry after being casually teased…
These substances, which Heath had only read about in books before, were everywhere here.
Heath was confident that once he extracted all the species in the secret realm, his strength would definitely increase significantly.
Unfortunately, this secret realm was too big. It was not something that could be extracted in a day or two. Although he did not know how long the trial would last, it was not realistic to sweep through this place during the trial.
Moreover, the Wizards had previously said that they would monitor the entire trial. If he deliberately looked for new species to extract, it would attract too much attention.
“Official Apprentice…”
Once he obtained the identity of an official Apprentice, he could accept missions that allowed him to enter this secret plane, and he could freely enter and exit this place.
Because of this, if Heath had only participated in the trial with an interested attitude, then he was now determined to win this trial.
Soon, he arrived at the entrance of a valley that looked like an entrance.
According to the map, the sixth level was shaped like a disc. He was at the edge of the disc, and the end of the sixth level was in the middle of the disc.
Heath passed through the entrance of the valley and continued forward.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly called out to him, “Hey! Hey! Wait!”
A cloud of smoke suddenly rose from the valley. The smoke distorted in the air and quickly turned into a red and white clown.
Floating in the air, it was translucent, like a ghost.
Heath stared at the clown. “You are?”
From his mental reaction, he was also an illusionary spirit.
The clown said with a smile, “I am your friend. I will go forward with you on your next journey.”
Heath raised his eyebrows. “Will you help me too?”
The clown raised a finger and shook it. “No, no, no. Friends can’t help you. They can only give you advice.”
“But sometimes my advice is right, and sometimes it’s wrong. You have to figure it out for yourself.”
“I’m useless most of the time, but maybe I can help you at some critical moments.”
It sounded like it was useless.
The clown continued, “First, take this.”
He threw a Magic Stone pocket over.
Heath opened the pocket and saw that there were 300 Magic Stones inside. However, each Magic Stone seemed to have a special space mark on it.
The clown said, “I will now give you the first suggestion. You need to make your own choice. Please listen carefully.”
Heath nodded. “Say it.”
Clown said, “These Magic Stones are your capital. After you pass through this valley, you will enter the killing ground. You will be attacked at any time there. Of course, you can also attack others to plunder other people’s Magic Stones.”
“But when you fail, all the Magic Stones and resources you have accumulated will fall.”
“And if you retreat now and return to the cliff before, you can leave the secret realm through there. These 300 Magic Stones can also be taken out.”
“What do you think? Make a decision.”
Without any hesitation, Heath said, “Let’s go.”
After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the valley.
“Haha, I like you!”
The clown laughed loudly and turned into a cloud of smoke to follow Heath’s footsteps.
Soon, the two of them passed through the valley and entered the killing ground.
The moment they stepped into the killing ground, Heath immediately felt a sense of danger approaching him. This was a natural reaction of the body to danger after walking down from the battlefield.
As if it was a conditioned reflex, he quickly moved aside according to the danger his body had sensed.
Whoosh!
The moment he moved aside, a sharp sound of wind breaking exploded in his ears. A red arrow shot out from the bushes by the road and headed straight for Heath. It brushed past his head and hit the ground beside him.
Boom!
With a loud sound, a large crater was instantly blasted into the ground.
Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, the ambusher hidden in the bushes tensed up. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and left.
The clown roared, “Get him!”
Clang!
A loud sword cry rang out.
Behind him, Heath was like a cheetah chasing after the Apprentice. However, he saw a cold light flash in the air. Following that, another stone statue appeared on the ground.
A few Magic Stone pockets were scattered in front of the stone sculpture.
Heath picked them up and counted them. There were four Magic Stone pockets in total, each containing 300 Magic Stones.
“Four? Does that mean that four Apprentices were attacked by him?”
Heath walked into a nearby bush and looked around. As expected, he found four stone sculptures that had been petrified in the bush next to him.
Obviously, these had been successfully ambushed by the previous Apprentice.
At this moment, the clown said, “Stay here. We can also stop at the valley and ambush another person who passes by. Believe me, we will be rich!”
Heath ignored him and asked, “Why didn’t I see his clown?”
The clown said, “Everyone’s clown can only be seen by himself.”
So that was the case.
Then, he put away his Magic Stone pocket and continued to advance towards the finish line.
Along the way, he encountered a few more attacks one after another. At this time, the clown would always shout, “Kill him!”
These ambushers were all turned into stone sculptures in the forest without exception.
One of them was a beautiful female Apprentice. After the ambush failed, she decisively used her fastest speed to strip herself clean.
She said without hesitation, “I’m still a virgin. If you’re willing to let me go, I’ll do anything.”
The clown was like a baboon in heat. He said excitedly, “Quick, quick, get her.”
Heath chopped the Witch with his sword.
Clown’s eyes turned red and he shouted, “Oh! Damn it! What did you do! What did you do!? Didn’t you see? That’s a rare beauty! Didn’t you hear? She’s still a virgin!”
“I asked you to f*ck her, not kill her, damn it…”
The clown was indeed like what he said. The advice he gave could be very misleading at times, but of course, it was also quite useful at times.
For example, when he was crossing a seemingly calm river, the clown had advised him to take a detour because there might be monsters in the river. In the end, there was really a big fish in the river that was equivalent to a high-level demonized beast, a nightmare in the river.
Just like that, as he continued to advance toward the destination, Heath was extracting the materials he found along the way.
A few days later, Heath came to a somewhat strange forest.
He did not expect to meet an acquaintance here…
