Chapter 114 The Test

The Single-Lineage Knight strode forward, kicking open the newly appeared door, and left the room inlaid with mirrors!

Zhang Yuanqing staggered into the corridor, supporting his teammates who had lost too much blood!

Brother Red Rooster leaned against the corridor wall, collapsing to the ground, gasping for breath. Guan Ya, Sun Miaomiao, Tianxia Guihuo, and Zhao Chenghuang either sat weakly or leaned against the wall, trying to alleviate the pain caused by their almost-stripped role cards.

Although Zhang Yuanqing had stopped in time, their souls felt as if they had been stabbed with a knife. Even though the bleeding had been stopped, the injury remained!

Brother Red Rooster took a few breaths, grabbed a vial of concentrated life essence from his inventory, injected it into his carotid artery, and then took out a jade-green bead to hold in his mouth.

He closed his eyes, a look of enjoyment on his face. After a few seconds, white bones grew from his mangled wrist, splitting into fresh flesh, and a fair, tender palm emerged!

The other members also took out healing items to restore their condition!

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing saw Zhai Cai approaching, his clothes fluttering. The Single-Lineage Knight said with a smile, "I seemed to sense the aura of an evil profession just now. Don't deny it. In the eyes of an upright, masculine, handsome, and lucky knight, the aura of evil is as dazzling and distinct as a firefly in the dark!"

Zhang Yuanqing retorted without changing his expression, "So masculine, I didn't see the luck, but I definitely saw the pretension!"

He said this not only to counter the irritating knight, but mainly to distinguish his persona from that of the Free Wanderer Sword Immortal, who had a cool and aloof persona!

But Gou Mang was sweet, cute, aggressive, and receptive, with great flexibility.

Zhai Cai clicked his tongue and sized him up. "You little brat are quite sassy. By the way, what's the Free Wanderer Sword Immortal been up to lately? I miss him quite a bit!"

Zhang Yuanqing chuckled, "He misses you too, and he has a very good opinion of you!"

"What does he think of me?" Zhai Cai asked curiously!

"He said you're the slipperiest of knights!" Zhang Yuanqing said.

"What does 'slipperiest' mean?" Zhai Cai was of Chinese descent but had lived in the Baiyou Federation during his childhood and adolescence. Although he had lived in his ancestral country for a few years, his understanding of its regional culture was limited!

"'Slipperiest' means quick-witted and clever!" Zhang Yuanqing said.

"I don't believe it!" Zhai Cai had a keen intuition and said suspiciously, "Unless you swear under my witness that whoever lies will return to the Lingjing."

You're still quite self-aware... Zhang Yuanqing ignored him!

After a half-hour rest, when everyone had recovered, Zhai Cai clapped his hands to attract the team's attention. "Our goal this time is Room 503 on the fifth floor. We're currently on the fourth floor. We only need to pass through one more room to reach our destination!"

"Everything has gone smoothly so far. If we're lucky enough to encounter a level six checkpoint, I can guarantee your safety! Now, let's discuss which room to choose. I think six is a lucky number, so let's choose 406!"

"Objection!" Everyone said in unison!

The Single-Lineage Knight originally wanted to insist.

Seeing the steely determination in everyone's eyes, he shrugged, knowing when to yield. "Alright, the minority submits to the majority. Whoever has the best luck can choose!"

Brother Red Rooster was the first to speak. "Choose Room 401!"

"Get lost, you're a gangster, you have the worst luck!" Sun Miaomiao spat at him!

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a moment and said, "Passing through the fourth floor will allow us to smoothly reach Old Bernt's storage room. We should be able to accurately locate the level of the fourth floor now using Star Gazing. Six Waters, give it a try!"

Sun Miaomiao nodded and opened her starry eyes to view everyone's astrological signs!

Then, her expression became unusually ugly. "A bloody disaster!!!! For everyone!! And a blood-curdling bloody disaster."

Just like last time, Zhang Yuanqing had expected this result. When entering Room 306, Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang had seen that everyone's faces, including Zhai Cai's, were marked by a crisis of life and death.

However, the crisis of choosing Room 306 did not threaten Zhai Cai!

This meant that the crisis originated on the fourth floor. The Single-Lineage Knight was silent for a moment and said, "So, let's go to 406 first. Anyway, it can't get any worse!"

The atmosphere became tense!

Brother Red Rooster complained, "The crisis and the rewards are not proportional! Can we at least steal a few Dominator-level materials?"

"Do you want to be hunted down by a Dominator?" Zhai Cai narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Old Bernt doesn't know the true face of the Holy Plate fragment, so taking it won't have any repercussions. But Dominator-level materials are rare. They'll notice immediately if even one is missing!"

"After you collect all the Holy Plate fragments and open the Vatican treasure, I believe you will usher in the greatest rewards of your lives!"

These words stirred the hearts of the Saints present!

This was exactly what Yuanshi had promised them before the mission: as long as they obtained the Holy Plate fragments, they would have a share in the Vatican treasure that would be opened in the future.

As the largest organization a century ago, the treasure it left behind would certainly be incredibly rich!

As expected of a boss, a casually drawn pie can inspire so much passion... Zhang Yuanqing silently complained and urged, "We've rested enough, let's go into the room. The sooner we get the Holy Plate fragments, the sooner we can leave this damn place!"

Zhai Cai nodded. "Then let's choose 406. Six is my lucky number!"

He strode toward Room 406, twisted the doorknob, and behind the door was a deep darkness, obscuring the scenery.

Zhai Cai strode forward and disappeared into the darkness!

Zhang Yuanqing and the others quickly followed, and their vision immediately cleared after stepping into the darkness. What came into view was a spacious classroom with a blackboard, a teacher's desk, and ten student desks.

Written on the blackboard was: Welcome to the Wise Man's Playground～～Exam Hall!

Exam Rules:

One: There are twenty seconds left until the exam.

Two: The number of examinees must not be less than six!

Three: No props may be used during the exam. The exam hall will be closed after the exam starts!

Four: Each wrong answer will be punished!

Five: The exam time is ten minutes.

In the upper right corner of the blackboard, a thirty-second countdown appeared!

"Exam?" Brother Red Rooster widened his eyes and said with an expression that said, "My eyes might be playing tricks on me."

"Why is there an exam in the labyrinth? I came to fight monsters, not to take exams!"

He seemed to have an instinctive fear and resistance to exams, and he felt that the appearance of an exam hall in the labyrinth was incomprehensible!

"Pan's Labyrinth has a total of 60 rooms, and each room has different crises. They come in all forms, there's nothing to be surprised about!" Zhai Cai obviously had some understanding of the labyrinth and was very adaptable.

"An exam is better than fighting and killing!" Zhang Yuanqing said.

"I'd rather fight and kill!" Brother Red Rooster said loudly.

"Me too!" Sun Miaomiao muttered.
