[Episode 11]

Don't kill me!

Don't kill me!

Senior, save me!

This is quite a predicament.

Senior!

Help won't come.

Another one with a death wish?

So, how do you two want to die?

I'll give you a hand!

What kind of artifact is that?

Want a duel with artifacts?

I've never lost one!

Die now!

Who's attacking?

Where are they?

Let me grab the loot first.

It's Feng Yue!

That lunatic from Skyfort Castle!

Since you know who I am,

why aren't you running yet?

Kid,

I gave you a chance.

Why didn't you run?

Turning my back on the enemy means death.

If I ran,

I'd be just like her.

Well, you're a fun one for once.

Then let me have some fun with you!

You really brought out that crappy Primordial Pearl?

You think that's all I've got?

Try this one.

See how it feels!

Not even ashes will remain.

Shame about that yellow umbrella though.

What's this?

Forget it.

I'll take it for now

and study it later.

The boots are still intact!

They must be

something valuable.

Better not stick around!

Looks like Violet Monkey Blossoms!

They really are!

There's another one over there!

Hey, seniors, look!

Violet Monkey Blossoms, right here!

Saying hi to us?

Like we're old pals.

This remote spot really was the right call.

The spirit herbs here may be young,

but no one's competing for them.

See?

It's aged enough now!

When I get back,

I'll hand in a few

and keep the rest

for myself.

Still,

two days have flown by already.

Time to find those three herbs.

Violet Monkey Blossoms!

Han Li?

Senior Chen?

You're hurt?

Why do you have the Qingjiao Banner?

That belongs to Lu Mingyuan!

Oh no...

She saw it.

It's a misunderstanding, Senior.

My artifact

just looks a lot like

the Qingjiao Banner.

A misunderstanding?

No way.

You saved me that day, right?

But you took my Foundation Pill,

so now you don't dare admit it, right?

You're poisoned now.

You may start seeing weird visions.

I have an antidote.

Take it quickly.

Or else...

you may not make it out of the Trial Ground.

Once you're cured,

if you still have questions,

I promise

I'll answer them all.

This pill

really does work.

So are you going to tell me now?

Even if you don't,

I already know.

I...

know too...

I'm sorry.

This Oblivion Pill

will help you get some real rest.

I'll find you a safe spot.

[Bloody Trial Ground, Day 3] That's a huge piece of Jade Marrow Mushroom.

No way it won't draw

much attention!

Keep your voice down.

Don't let anyone hear us.

These two are really going all in,

even using Jade Marrow Mushroom as bait.

I'm tired. I'll rest for a bit.

Keep watch, will you?

Don't worry.

Senior!

What is wrong?

The...

The Mushroom!

Where's my Mushroom?

It's gone in a blink!

Who took it?

After them!

Li!

Who's there?

Who's hiding over there?

I saw him jump in there!

Yu!

Qi!

Where is he?

I saw him run this way!

How'd he just vanish?

Weird...

Where could he have gone?

There's a path that way.

Come on, let's check it out.

Yeah.

This high-grade stealth artifact

is amazing.

Miss Han,

thank you.

What are you doing here?

It's my fault. I was useless.

Right after I entered the Trial Ground,

my mystic pouch and map

got stolen.

I didn't know what to do,

so I just found a place

to hide for now.

This pill

should help restore your strength.

Here, take it.

Thank you, Li.

Honestly,

when I first got here,

I was scared out of my mind.

But if I can't find Solarflame Blossom,

my brother's illness...

I really don't know what else to do.

Aren't those two

your sect mates?

No,

I don't know them.

You don't?

Didn't you all come in together?

I never saw them

when I was at Spirit Beast Mountain.

Li,

don't worry about me.

With this stealth artifact,

I can definitely make it to the fifth day.

Go find what you came here for.

There's not much time.

You're looking for Solarflame Blossom?

Yeah.

That is

the whole reason I came here.

I'll take you.

That's great!

Thanks, Li!

Don't mention it.

It's on my way anyway.

Where can we find Solarflame Blossom?

It's not marked

on my map at all.

But they say

most spirit herbs in the Trial Ground

can be found near the central ring of mountains.

It shouldn't be a problem.

Something's off with that sound.

Cover your ears!

Run!

Jump!

Li,

that flying python looks strange.

It doesn't seem like a spirit beast here.

You're right.

That whistle earlier

must've come from its master.

He's hiding somewhere.

As far as I know,

in all of Spirit Beast Mountain,

only one senior raises that kind of beast.

His name's Zhong Wu.

Zhong Wu?

If he finds out

we killed his flying python,

he won't let us off easy.

Maybe...

we should...

just go around instead?

We're short on time.

You two've got some guts.

You killed my spirit python

and still dared to show up here?

Senior Zhong,

please let us pass.

We won't take a single herb from here.

It's all yours!

Spare me the sweet talk.

If you've got guts, come here.

Let's have a little duel.

Wait a second!

Are those shoes...

Cloud-Riding Boots?

Yeah.

Aren't those Feng Yue's?

Did he lose his mind and give them to you?

What's he wearing now then?

You know him,

so you should know

he'll never give them away.

So you're saying you killed that lunatic Feng Yue

and stole his boots?

What do you think?

That belt on you looks nice too.

Hey, hold on!

I'm not done talking yet!

Step back!

Back off!

I said I'm not done!

I actually think my junior has a point.

It's fate we crossed paths.

Who knows? Maybe later,

we'll need each other.

So what are you offering?

A map.

Each sect's map of the Bloody Trial Ground

is unique.

I happen to have a version

from Spirit Beast Mountain.

You can consider

trading me Yellow Maple Valley's.

Not a bad deal, right?

Spirit Beast Mountain's map?

Miss Han already has one.

We don't need to see yours.

You do?

I forgot about that.

Then how about one

from the Saber-Shearing Sect?

How do I know it's real?

No deal.

How can I scam you?

Tell you what,

I'll throw in

Skyfort Castle's too.

Two for one.

There's no way

I can make so many different ones.

Am I right?

Deal?

Okay then.

I'll count to three,

and we exchange at the same time.

Three,

two,

one!

We agreed to do it together!

What kind of deal is this?

He got away again!

Yu,

where do you think he could've gone?

Who knows.

That kid sure runs fast.

Oh, it's you.

You scared us!

So,

where's my Blood Spirit Flower?

We did what you asked.

Now what else do you want?

Besides the flower,

we're also supposed to take out

elite disciples from the Seven Sects.

Did you forget about that?

The two of us

have already killed plenty of them.

What about you?

On the surface,

I'm still part of Spirit Beast Mountain.

It's hard for me to make a move directly.

That's why I need you two!

Just now,

I ran into a guy and a girl.

The girl's from Spirit Beast Mountain.

The guy's from Yellow Maple Valley.

I saw them both gathering

quite a few spirit herbs.

Now tell me,

you two got any ideas?

Need me to spell it out?

Why don't you

go take them out,

grab their herbs,

then we each get a cut.

You get it now?

What does he look like?

Tall and skinny,

pretty plain-looking.

Plain-looking?

Where are they now?

That girl

was looking for medicine for her brother.

So they're probably headed

to the Solarflame Cave

to hunt for spirit herbs.

Ambush them before they get there.

Their cultivation is weak,

weaker than you think!

That's all from me.

Everyone,

disciples are dying unusually fast.

Did none of you notice?

Now that the Trial Ground opens once every 60 years,

they'll fight tooth and nail for herbs.

The bloodshed this time

will be worse than ever.

Elder Han,

didn't we all go through this back in the day?

Relax, everyone!

They'll be fine!

[Bloody Trial Ground, Day 4]

It's so dark.

I can't see a thing.

In a place like this,

if we don't follow the stars and markings,

we're bound to get lost.

What do we do now?

It's the Solunar Purification Pearl!

Three days have passed.

That Pearl

was made specifically

to cut through the Trial Ground's mists.

With it,

we won't lose our way!

Found it!

That way!

Solarflame Blossoms!

A whole field of them!

Run!

Nowhere left to run, huh?

You want Solarflame Blossoms?

I won't let you have them!

No!

Solarflame Blossoms...

Solarflame Blossoms...

Not a single flower left...

They fought way too viciously.

And their techniques

aren't from the Seven Sects at all.

They're not from Spirit Beast Mountain.

Then who are they?

Stop crying.

There's still one left.

Thank you!

Li,

I saved this flatbread for you.

Take it!

It's dangerous here.

Let's go.

Li,

how can I ever thank you?

Once we're out of here,

make me a few flatbreads!

Flatbreads?

[Bloody Trial Ground, Day 5]

We're almost there.

Let's move.

I've gathered the Violet Monkey Blossom and Jade Marrow Mushroom.

Just need the Celestial Essence Fruit now.

According to the map,

it should be right around here.

But I don't see it anywhere.

Maybe someone else have picked it?

Time's running out.

Let me check this place

for any unripe sprouts.

Even spirit sense can't get through it!

I'll take a gamble.

This should be the stone temple mentioned in the records.

This place actually blocks spirit sense.

Everyone, stay alert.

We'll give it our all, Grandmaster!

Yu, Qing,

you two stay behind

and keep searching for the Blood Spirit Flower.

This concerns Yan Ruyan's life

and our relationship with the Yan Clan Stronghold.

We must not take it lightly.

Yes, Grandmaster!

All others,

stick close to me!

It's so strange.

I can't even scan this place with spirit sense.

There's only one path

all the way through.

If I'm surrounded here,

I'll have no way to escape.

No,

I can't take that risk.

I'll search elsewhere.

No!

Someone's here!

It's a dead end!

What is this?

Grandmaster,

they say the Blackscale Python here

is a Tier 1 demon beast.

Is this place even safe?

Stay calm.

Stick to the plan.

Leave everything to me.

Grandmaster?

A Core Formation cultivator's here?

It's her.

It really is here!

All of you, listen up!

From this moment on,

lock down the area.

Guard all sides.

Form the array!

Yes, Grandmaster!

There really is a Celestial Essence Fruit!

I have to find a way to get it.

Is that the Blackscale Python?

It doesn't quite match the illustrations.

What a fierce fight!

Tough luck

running into me!

I don't care which sect you're from.

If you miss the teleport window tomorrow,

you're stuck here for another sixty years!

This beast's scales are tough as nails.

Regular spells do nothing to it.

At my command!

Activate the array!

Yes, Grandmaster!

Impressive indeed!

It doesn't seem that hard to handle.

Grandmaster,

what kind of demon beast is that?

No...

It's not a Blackscale Python.

It can shed its skin and evolve

into a Blackflood Drake!

It's now Tier 2.

A Tier 2 demon beast?

That's about the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage!

Should I abandon the Celestial Essence Fruit?

No need to panic.

Form up!

Retreat!

You're no match for it!

Grandmaster!

The path is blocked!

We're sealed in!

There's no way out now!

You wretched beast!

Only one left?

Can she take it alone?

If you don't come out now,

you're not getting out at all!

Step outside and I'll die.

Stay hidden and you'll still die!

What are you waiting for?

Run!

You're pretty slick,

hiding all this time and not making a move?

I was afraid you'd kill me for my treasure.

You're so young,

but already this scheming?

Not afraid you'll end up friendless?

If I weren't this scheming,

I'd be dead ten times over by now.

There wouldn't be a later.

I'm low on spiritual power.

This won't hold it much longer.

If you've got something, use it now!

I do have

one more talisman treasure.

Then what are you waiting for?

Hurry!

Senior!

I need time to activate it!

You'll have to hold it off!

I'll do my best,

but you'll have to draw it away first!

You ready yet?

Do I look ready to you?

Why don't you take over?

Now you know how it feels to be left hanging?

Move it!

This is the Golden Brick Talisman,

my shop's finest treasure!

It's a bit slow

to activate,

but it's far

from ordinary.

Senior!

Bear with me!

This is all I've got left!

Faster!

You monster!

Get down!

It's insanely strong!

I can't hold on much longer!

Hurry!

I'm going as fast as I can!

Faster!

Faster!

Go!
