Chapter 278: Zi Jiao's Challenge - Part 7
Zi Jiao spent a few months exploring this part of the forest, she thought it strange that there was no one in that part. When she went to buy some supplies, Zi Jiao went to the Adventurers Guild and bought some information, according to them, the deepest part of the forest was little explored because it was very strange.
According to the reports, there was something in the forest that weakened the strength of those who entered that area. However, Zi Jiao could not feel this presence, for her, it was as if there was nothing and everything was normal.
Liu Yang searched for a few things about this forest in Arthur Pendragon's memoirs and saw that the forest was special, there was a great barrier at the bottom of it, and only those who were below level 50 could enter. A type of special spell that diminished the attribute of the strength was cast there.
In all Nine Worlds, there was a place similar to this and also to the other four attributes. In total there were forty-five sites that had the effect of diminishing the basic attributes of those who entered.
Several influential clans tried to send their younger generation to exploit these sites, but it was all in vain, before level 50, there was no equipment that increased the attributes except the rare items like the Fruit Juice of Reconstruction.
So, whenever these young people approached these special areas, their attributes would diminish. Fortunately, there was an exception to this, which was to have the attribute greater than the power of reduction.
This was the case of Zi Jiao, her Strenght attribute was too high, so she managed to nullify the effects of the spell.
...
After several months walking and destroying creatures through the forest, Zi Jiao leveled dozens of times and was already level 44. This became easy because there was only her in the forest, so the creatures were slaughtered by her.
But after a few more months of walking through the forest, the air was getting heavier and heavy pressure began to press into her body. And the Strength attribute had subsided a bit.
Zi Jiao realized that there was something strange that made no one else dare to enter this place, she saw that their strength had decreased a lot. For Zi Jiao, this loss was not much, but for others, this loss was very significant. The deeper the forest, the more attribute was diminished, but at a certain point.
Zi Jiao noticed a strange thing, in a certain place, she felt two different kinds of pressure. Taking a step forward, the pressure increased, taking a step back, the pressure diminished. This showed that the area in front of her was different.
The curiosity was aroused, Zi Jiao just started walking around the place that had the heaviest pressure. At the moment, she already lost about half of the strength attribute, holding the giant sword was difficult, she had to guard inside the space bag and pick up a common sword again.
After a few days walking, Zi Jiao realized that there was no creature in the place. The strength attribute was already reaching zero, there were only 10 more points.
While walking, Zi Jiao saw a strong light in this dark environment, walking to the place, she saw that there was an ancient temple covered with trees. Getting close, she felt that there was a barrier in place. And a system message is heard.
"Only those who have reached level 50 and have at least 300 points in the Strength Attributes can enter"
Zi Jiao was at level 45 at the moment and had 276 strength, due to her innate talent that was Supernatural Strength, this ability allowed her to receive double strength whenever she level, due to her race, she receives 3 points of strength, but with the innate talent, would go to 6.
When she reaches level 50, Zi Jiao will have 306 strength, six points more than the minimum requirement.
Several thoughts popped into her mind as Zi Jiao thought about what she might have inside the temple. Her motivation was multiplied several times, she started to run back to level as fast as possible.
Zi Jiao began to run back again and killed all the creatures she encountered along the way.
Several days later ...
Zi Jiao returned to the temple, this time, there was no barrier preventing her from entering. As she came closer, Zi Jiao could feel a majestic and powerful coming from the temple, she began to think it might be a place where a great expert lived.
The temple was made of stone, but because of the corrosion of time, each part was worn, cracked, and covered with roots and leaves. But that did not stop the old aura from continuing strong and majestic.
Zi Jiao saw that there was nothing in the entrance, only a path that led into the interior, without any hesitation, she walked with a firm and steady step. By the time Zi Jiao entered, the spell's effect disappeared and the points in the strength attribute returned.
The light stones that were off suddenly lit up, the place that was dark, was totally illuminated. Zi Jiao just followed the way into the interior, the hallway was simple, there was nothing on the sides, just stones of light.
Arriving at the end of the temple, Zi Jiao saw a large stone block with a written text, although it was quite old, the text was still legible to read. Arriving in front of the stone block, she began to read the text.
"I welcome those who can get here if you are reading this message, it shows that you have fulfilled the requirements imposed by me, Hercules, the Berserk, but also known as the God of War.
This place is where I left my inheritance before dying, only those who have the requirements have the right to inherit my inheritance. To begin the process of inheriting the inheritance, put some of your blood on the small platform that is on the side of the block "
After reading the text, Zi Jiao was extremely shocked by the information she had just read, she never imagined that she would find the god of war's heritage site. According to the history books, to get any title that has god in the name, it was necessary to be someone extremely powerful and to have abilities above the geniuses of the super clans, that is, the genius of the genius. This kind of person would be considered a monster.
No matter what heritage it would be, since the person had the name of a god, the inheritance must be something extremely out of the ordinary.
Zi Jiao was extremely excited about it, without hesitation, she cut off her wrist and let the blood run down the small platform. Seconds later, a strong light began to shine within the temple and a system sound is heard.
After the light disappeared, Zi Jiao noticed that she was on a kind of battlefield, but there was nothing on the scene, only armor and broken weapons buried in the ground.
"Welcome to the trial to receipt of inheritance"
"The competitor will have to fight 100 creatures over five stages, at each stage, creature levels will increase by ten. If you want to give up, just say the words: give up"
"Good luck"
"00:59"
After a husky male voice was heard, a timer appeared in the sky. The meter slowed slowly.
Though she was excited about it, Zi Jiao had a solemn face. She had a feeling that if she wanted to become strong and help Liu Yang, she had to pass this test at any cost.
"00:00"
"First Wave: 0/100"
When the timer shadows were seen on the horizon, when they got close, it was possible to see that there were a hundred skeleton warriors, each had armor and broken weapons. It was heading toward Zi Jiao.
