“Half Abyss Demon Cave?” Ye Zhongming and Pao Bai exclaimed simultaneously.
They had already confirmed that this place was on this planet, but they did not expect it to be right next to their base.
“Why are you so sure?” Ye Zhongming asked.
Jie Su clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, “When I advanced to a great master, my spiritual power was in an extremely abundant state. It automatically spread outwards, and nothing here could obstruct it.”
“So I saw the parasites in the cave, the two strange life forms, and I also saw the… Armor Pressure Sky Cover outside.”
This explanation indeed clarified the geographical location of the place.
The group fell silent for a moment.
Although they now knew where they were, it didn’t seem particularly helpful to them since the trial was not yet over, and they couldn’t leave at all.
However, this news was ultimately a good piece of information, as it meant that if they returned outside of the Half Abyss Demon Cave, it would be like going straight home.
“Take some time to adapt to your body,” Ye Zhongming said to Jie Su before looking at the energy gate, which was currently displaying his image.
Previously, Ye Zhongming had a total of 1856 remaining points, as he had spent some on purchasing equipment and potions, but now his points had become 3888. This time, Ye Zhongming had gained 2032 points from the trial!
In one battle, he had earned over two thousand points, and everyone turned their astonished and envious gazes toward… the white dragon horse.
Yes, the white dragon horse definitely gained the most from this fight. Since Ye Zhongming, who ranked second in contributions, could earn over two thousand points, how much must it have gained!
Ye Zhongming ignored his two friends, contemplating what he could choose this time.
Now that Jie Su had become a great master, his transformation cooldown had ended, so he should be able to pass the next trial.
But what about the trial after that?
Could they rely solely on Jie Su? Given the increasing difficulty of the trials, that seemed unlikely.
After the white dragon horse had consumed that potion, it could only focus on providing defensive support for everyone, and could no longer offer powerful firepower assistance.
The third trial at this stage would not be easy.
So now, he should consider redeeming some things to enhance their strength, preferably something that would allow him to save his transformation ability for the third trial.
The rewards pool was filled with a dazzling array of items, each of which could almost enhance strength, but under Ye Zhongming’s current reward points, there was nothing that could significantly boost his power.
At least after looking for a long time, he hadn’t found a single item.
“Actually, we can choose again after the next trial. Since I have become a great master, I’ll try to hold on. That way, when it’s over, you will have more points to use, and there will be more and stronger items to choose from.”
Ye Zhongming nodded, knowing that Jie Su was suggesting a viable strategy.
However… could Jie Su, as a great master, really hold on? Just look at the last trial. Even the white dragon horse, having ascended to an adult state, barely managed to win. Jie Su alone, it seemed, would not be able to manage.
If they weren’t prepared, any danger that arose could leave them with no way to remedy the situation.
“Then this one.”
After thinking for a while, Ye Zhongming chose an item.
It was a scale-like object, very delicate but not large, looking more like a toy.
“Eternal Gift?”
Jie Su and Pao Bai had never seen such an item before, and they were puzzled as to why they hadn’t noticed it before. After checking its function, they understood.
It was a piece of equipment used between a master and a battle beast. Since they did not have a battle beast here, they hadn’t considered this aspect at all.
But when they saw the explanation for this item called Eternal Gift, they all sighed and looked at Ye Zhongming, saying, “Are you sure?”
