Chapter 131: Chapter 127: General Duo Lai is on Trial (3/3 asking for monthly tickets! )_1
Translator: 549690339
The next day, the sky was clear and suitable for the trial.
Duo Lai, who was packed with various supplies (though they were probably useless), turned back into her round and chubby Slime form. Her big eyes were no longer spinning around but were full of excitement and anticipation.
“Don’t worry, Lord. I, Duo Lai, will push through all enemies and easily pass
the trial-!”
She was full of confidence.
General Duo Lai was setting out.
But, Lord Muyuan had no confidence in her. Besides being able to eat and fight, what else could Duo Lai do? Could she win by acting cute?
Hero Trials also required strategy.
Only those who were brave and strategic could be called heroes.
Dead Bone also showed a worried big brotherly emotion. But it seemed that his experience was not suitable for Duo Lai at all.
As a result, apart from compiling a book titled “36 Steady Strategies for the
Trial” overnight, it seemed he had no other solutions.
It was still not strong enough.
It still had its limits.
Dead Bone fell into deep thought.
Lord Shepherd looked at Duo Lai and was also thinking, “After all, Duo Lai has long awakened her self-consciousness. Although she is pure and a bit silly, she is still far superior to ordinary troops. And her current combat power has reached the ‘Trial Passing Line’ level. Probably, passing the trial is not a
problem.”
Even getting a good evaluation was likely.
However, if one wanted to get a perfect evaluation…
Looking at Duo Lai, who was laughing alone with a silly smile on her face, he really couldn’t figure out how General Duo could pass the trial perfectly.
It was impossible. He really couldn’t do it.
He, Lord Shepherd, couldn’t lead her to it.
“Forget it, at most she’ll lack a specialized weapon and strategic skills. These things can be acquired later.”
Thinking of this, he looked at Duo Lai and said, “You’re prepared. Let’s begin.”
“Ding!”
“Prompt: You have used The Hero’s Proof, target’ Devouring Slime-Duo Lai.’”
“Prompt: Hero Trial has started.”
The badge in his hand shattered with a bang, turning into a mysterious mark falling on top of Duo Lai’s head. The next moment, with a “gurgle” sound of surprise, Duo Lai disappeared.
She had entered the special Trial Space.
At the same time, Lord Shepherd also had a strand of consciousness that was constantly rising, breaking through numerous obstacles, and entering a gray world.
He was Consciousness Descending and acting as an onlooker.
About this, Muyuan felt familiar with it.
“Prompt: During the Hero’s Trial, the Lord can freely watch, but only has three chances to guide the trialist, please…
To get a perfect evaluation, it seemed to depend entirely on the trialist’s own power. The lord couldn’t give any hints.
But not guiding Duo Lai-
Let’s take it one step at a time.
From the spectator’s bird’s eye view, Muyuan saw the vast land covered with a light white mist. On one side of the land was an imposing Human City, with a dozen high Defense Towers standing tall. Armored Halberd Guards, Strong Shooters, and a large number of ordinary troops walked out of the city, along the increasingly desolate and broken road, heading towards the canyon at the end of the land.
Just as they stepped into the canyon,
“Boom—1″
A deafening roar exploded in his ears.
A giant dragon, without wings but with a huge red body and coiling limbs, woke up in the canyon. Its terrifying vertical pupils opened, and it spit out a sky full of hot red flames from its mouth, almost enveloping the entire canyon and evaporating all vegetation and water.
For a moment, the entire canyon was like the mouth of a volcano, flowing with hot lava.
There was a Halberd Guard covered in Energy Armor charging at the Magma Dragon, but before he could rush out a hundred meters, the Energy Armor melted like juice, along with his body.
The dragon-slaying army was completely annihilated.
At this moment,
Outside the Human City, Duo Lai had just woken up.
All alone.
”Gurgle(*O~O)~?”
“Ding!”
“Prompt: The Hero Trial ‘Dragon Slaying Battle’ has begun, Triahsts must vanquish the Magma Dragon before it leaves its valley and attacks the human city.”
“Prompt: The enemy level is extremely high, but this trial has special rules. Triahsts can increase their own levels and accumulate power by killing wild monsters (this power can only be used within the trial scenario). Furthermore, trialists can also acquire gold coins during exploration and use these coins to replenish troops and supplies in Order City.”
“Prompt: During the trial, trialists will have temporary Hero Power.”
The prompt resonated in General Duo Lai’s ears.
She wasn’t surprised.
The procedure was mentioned by the Great Lord ahead of time.
Yet, what about the troops? The troops she commanded? Why aren’t there any? General Duo Lai was a bit lost, not sure what to do next. She urgently needed help. What should she do now?
After thinking for a bit, she took flight and hovered in midair to look around.
Quickly, she figured out her current location—it was north of the Human city, not too far away.
She then mimicked a human form and entered this thriving city.
A crowd was bustling about here. There were many, many things that Duo Lai had never seen before.
“This looks delicious!”
“Oh, this one is pretty good!”
“I wonder if I can take some of this back for the Lord to taste.
Duo Lai’s big eyes were sparkling brilliantly, but once she reached into her pocket to quench her cravings, her initial 50 gold coins had all been spent unknowingly.
Duo Lai: “O„O” Wait, isn’t she in the middle of the Hero Trials!
After eying several troop recruitment stations, she hurried out of the city.
She didn’t dare to face the Boss Dragon. The power displayed in the opening scene was too terrifying. She was afraid of ending up as roast Duo Lai.
“Wild beasts, right, there are also wild beasts!”
“Finally, back on track!”
Mr. Mu, who was hovering in mid-air like a soul body, let out a sigh of relief.
He was barely able to resist using Lord’s guidance.
Having to use guidance because of the gluttony of his troop type would be an unprecedented event in the history of the Hero Trials.
He watched carefully.
Duo Lai had found the first pack of wild monsters, two giant wolves lurking between the trees. But when Duo Lai spotted them, they also noticed her and let out a roar.
A pale grey energy armor instantly covered the giant wolves.
They stepped on the ground, rushing towards Duo Lai like ghostly shadows. These wolves, which seemed to be just beginner grade wild beasts, unexpectedly had elite levels!
Duo Lai took to the sky, blasting one Fireball after another with her raised hands.
The raging flames turned the entire forest into a sea of fire, crackling and popping with vigorous burning sounds. The giant wolves roared in the flames, each spewing out one energy cannonball after another.
After dozens of exchanges, Duo Lai was only able to kill the two giant wolves with a combination of thunder, fire, and wind powers, expending quite a lot of effort.
“If average wild beasts are this strong, how can we deal with the Boss, the Magma Dragon? Sounds tough,” pondered Mu Yuan.
Under the special rules, the slain wild beasts only dropped about a dozen gold coins, but a handful of pure energy surged out and flowed into Duo Lai’s body.
Her level instantly rose to ‘Profession Level Complete.’
Her initially somewhat depressed and bewildered eyes suddenly lit up.
“Can’t waste those either.”
Under the heat of the flames, the aroma of charcoal roasting oozed from the wild giant wolves, making them look very appetizing.
Duo Lai returned to her original form, slowly enlarging and expanding her entire body, then opened her enormous mouth and gulped down a whole wolf. Looking at the faintly glowing energy coins in her hand, she was slightly hesitant, slightly noncommittal. However, in the end, she grabbed them all together and stuffed them into her mouth.
Her ability to devour was fully activated.
By the burning fireside, Duo Lai’s body expanded and contracted, then expanded again, a series of surging energy tides radiating out from her. Possibly due to the uniqueness of the trial space, all of Duo Lai’s devouring effects transformed into the purest level-up energy.
After awhile,
Accompanied by a soft “pop”, the energy that Duo Lai emanated all flowed back into her, with her aura climbing steadily, having reached the elite level..
