Three people lay on the ground, staring blankly at the lid that was constantly sparking, allowing the sparks from the energy gate to heal their bodies.
They had been eagerly anticipating this experience and felt a thrill when they discovered a shortcut to quickly gain strength.
This miraculous encounter made them feel it was their fortunate affinity.
However, the trials had only just begun, and in the second round, they nearly met their demise.
The creatures that resembled toads, with their impressive jumping ability, not only had excellent defense but were also quite troublesome. After encountering them, their weapons and fists became coated with a sticky substance. The accumulation of this slime dulled their weapons and slowed their speed.
There was also poison.
For the three of them, this poison was not lethal, but it caused side effects such as dizziness, weakness, confusion, and even stomach pain...
Under such torment, facing continuous attacks from all around, their predicament was understandable.
If it weren't for Jie Su using the adaptable formation, they probably wouldn't have even made it past the second trial.
The white dragon horse was also in a dire situation; those jumping parasites posed a significant threat to it. Its constitution made it immune to the poison, but when those creatures hidden in the water attacked, the white dragon horse was the first to suffer.
Bundles of white silk wrapped around the white dragon horse, dragging it to the ground and ravaging it.
Currently, Ye Zhongming's battle beast had one of its wings torn off by others, and its abdomen had a large wound. If it hadn't received treatment, it would likely be dead by now.
"This is really not something a human should do."
Pao Bai sat up, his body quickly recovering under the healing sparks, making him feel much better. However, only his body had recovered; the tension and shadows lingering in his mind were not something that could be dispelled in a short time.
This was also a form of exhaustion, or rather, torture.
Ye Zhongming also sat up. He looked at the white dragon horse and noticed its broken wing beginning to regenerate, which relieved his mind.
Although he hadn't had the white dragon horse for long, he had invested quite a bit in it.
Once the three people and the dragon fully recovered, everyone's gaze turned to the energy gate, which was the part they had been looking forward to, including the white dragon horse.
This time, the first to appear was the white dragon horse, with a reward value of 34 (27 this time, 7 remaining from the last). Fuleira's value was 55,600.
This battle had allowed the white dragon horse's fuleira to increase by two points.
This was not an unusual occurrence; in a life-and-death experience like this, it would be abnormal if fuleira didn't increase at all.
"I can't create any armor for you right now; perhaps you should choose some protective gear," Ye Zhongming suddenly said.
Most of his materials were left at their base, and he had brought very few with him. They couldn't take any materials from here after passing the trials, so Ye Zhongming found himself unable to create equipment for everyone despite his skills.
The others were okay facing the challenges since they still had various abilities and remaining equipment available, but the white dragon horse relied solely on its body. If it encountered a strong attack capable of breaking through its defenses, it would be in a very passive position. Without being able to provide much help, the white dragon horse was in a precarious situation.
During the second trial, Ye Zhongming was quite startled; if it weren't for the creature's strong physique, it could have been disastrous.
The white dragon horse pondered for a moment, then stood in front of its reward pool and selected an item.
It was a Dragon Saddle!
It could be ridden and also protect the critical chest and abdomen areas of the white dragon horse.
Ye Zhongming was very satisfied with its choice. This little guy has high emotional intelligence.
