Chapter 355 - Other Trial-takers

At this moment, the commotion in the ghost swamp was not only affecting Jerry and the others. It could be said that all the trial-takers in the ghost swamp were affected.

And the ghost swamp could be said to be in all the labyrinths on the second floor of the endless tower. It was the safest place for rookies. It was not easy to find an exit.

However, it was definitely the least dangerous labyrinth. Therefore, it became the best choice for rookies and weaker trial-takers to complete the endless tower’s mission.

Furthermore, for those who were strong, what they wanted was not as simple as surviving in the labyrinth for a few hours. Instead, they wanted to either find all sorts of treasures in the labyrinth that could increase their strength or find an exit.

However, in order to achieve these two goals, the ghost swamp was definitely not a good choice, because most of the treasures were in the swamp and some were even under it.

To the trial-takers, there was no place to land their foot.

Moreover, these places were guarded by monsters. To the monsters in the swamp, the swamp was the battlefield where they were most familiar with and the perfect place to unleash all their strength.

And to the trial-takers, the swamp was undoubtedly an extremely troublesome place. The miasma in the swamp was constantly eroding them, forcing them to constantly use their divine power to resist the surrounding miasma.

When fighting the monsters, they also had to be careful not to be dragged into the swamp by other monsters, or they would be as good as dead.

Even if they were lucky enough to come out of the swamp alive, the miasma would have already entered their bodies and they would not be able to fight anymore.

Hence, the ghost swamp naturally became a place for the rookies to gather. After all, these rookies would not be interested in the treasures for the time being. Naturally, they would not provoke these powerful monsters under the swamp.

The remaining ones were those who were infected with the miasma of the swamp and unconscious. Such as the corpse sharks, they were purely relying on their instincts to move, because they were already corroded beyond recognition by the swamp.

The things they swallowed would spill out from their rotten stomachs, causing them unable to fill their stomachs no matter how much they ate. However, under the erosion of the swamp, they only had the instinct of hunger.

It was also the reason why corpse sharks roamed the swamp in search of food.

However, these monsters did not pose much of a threat to the trial-takers. These monsters acted purely base on instincts. Their only way to attack was to charge forward and bite.

As long as they were careful not to get contaminated by the miasma on their bodies, it was fine. Of course, if they were accidentally bitten by the corpse sharks in the swamp, they could only pray for their own good.

It was not that there were no cultivators who had been killed by the corpse sharks. After all, the corpse sharks were only relatively the least threatening to cultivators. It was not that there was no danger.

At that moment, at a certain spot in the Phantom Swamp, a few cultivators gathered on a small boat.

Forming a team! This was the most common method that rookies used.

After all, for rookies who had just entered the second level of the endless tower, their strength was insufficient. When facing the maze of the second level of the endless tower, which was filled with middle-stage and late-stage third-stage king of the gods, their strength was truly difficult to resist.

Forming a team would allow the 2 newcomers to help each other, and increase their strength and chances of survival.

Just like the newcomers on the small boats, they were the ones who had barely passed the 1st level of the tower. However, they were still lacking in strength, other than the trial-takers who had broken through to the Type 3 divine King Realm.., the subordinates that they brought from the Empire era were actually at the type 2 divine King Realm. There were even a few type 1 divine kings among them.

If Jerry were to see them here, he would probably shake his head and say who gave these people the courage to climb to the second level of the endless tower with such a cultivation level. wasn’t this strength courting death?

Back then, when Jerry first entered the second level of the endless tower, he only brought his subordinates who had broken through to the Type 3 divine King Realm and above. Later on, because he knew about the situation at the second level of the endless tower.., he had brought all the people from the Sky dynasty who were at the Type 2 divine King Realm.

After all, the spiritual energy on the second level of the tower was much stronger than the Sky City.

However, considering the size of the space Jerry controlled and the density of the spiritual energy, he did not bring everyone from the sky city. Instead, he only brought his subordinates who were at the mid-to late-stage of the Type 2 divine King Realm.

After all, those who were weak in the endless tower would only cause trouble if they entered the maze. They would not be of any help and might even be a hindrance.

For example, the two trial-takers who formed a team had their followers showing abnormal grayish-white color in many parts of their bodies. Some of their skin and flesh began to fall off, revealing their flesh and blood.

However, there was not a single drop of blood flowing out from the wounds. The flesh and blood looked like rotting flesh.

Without a doubt, these people had already been corroded by the miasma. If this continued, they would sooner or later become like the creatures in the swamp.

Don’t forget, even someone like Brenda who had reached the intermediate stage of the third stage godly monarch realm would not easily be contaminated by the miasma in the swamp. It was enough to show how terrifying the miasma was, let alone these people who had not reached the third stage.

However, at this time, one of them was holding a water-blue pearl, which was emitting a faint light, enveloping the entire boat.

It was as though it was covered by a layer of water-blue bubbles, and the bubbles seemed to be able to defend against the miasma. However, there were many cracks on the water-blue shield, and the cracks were increasing.

It looked as though it would shatter at any moment, and the miasma had entered the boat through the cracks.

“Boros! What do we do now?”One of the golden-haired elders was staring at the surface of the swamp with a pale face, he was one of the 2 Type 3 divine kings on the boat, and he did not look young. He was the participant who had just arrived at the 2nd level of the tower of endless.

The other trial-taker’s face was flushed red. Countless beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. At this moment, he was pressing his palms together as he urged the small boat beneath their feet with all his might. It was as though something was chasing after them from behind.

And now, cracks were appearing densely on the small boat. It looked like it would crack before long.

At this moment, a black color appeared in front of them. It was actually a dense forest. Immediately, everyone on the small boat felt joy in their hearts. The small boat suddenly increased its speed and charged towards the forest.
