After walking through the long tunnel, their field of vision suddenly brightened up.

Within the mountain was a vast s.p.a.ce filled with vegetation. Indistinctly, the roars of countless beasts could be heard from within the forest.

“Ahh!”

The herb gatherers widened their eyes in shock.

The elder who was leading the way turned around and sneered.

“You weaklings shouldn’t have been able to enter the sacred grounds. You should be honored that you’re allowed here. This is a blessing from the tribe,” the elder said coldly.

Tang Hao could not help but roll his eyes when he heard that.

‘A blessing? What nonsense!’

The elder took a few steps forward and pointed in front of him. “The trial area is up ahead. There are countless ferocious beasts inside. The elites need to pa.s.s through the area to reach the Sacred Halls.

“Of course, they have another enemy other than the beast, and that is all of you.

“You have to stop those elites by whatever means you can. You will be doing a great deed for the tribe if you can injure them!”

Even though he said that, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

The herb gatherers were too weak, and they were not going to hurt the elites. They were nothing more than nuisances so that the elites would remain vigilant.

At the same time, it also added some fun to the trial.

“Take this. Each of you will have one. With it, the beasts won’t attack you. Remember, you can only move about in the forest. You can go beyond this area.”

The elder took out some herb pouches.

“Beyond this area is the Sacred Halls. That is the true sacred ground that you are not qualified to enter.

“Even if you go inside, you won’t be able to survive the Hall of the Sacred Flame or the Hall of Panaceas, let alone the Hall of the Ancients.”

‘Hall of the Sacred Flame? Hall of Panaceas?’

Tang Hao’s eyes lit up with greed.

‘The Hall of the Sacred Flame is obviously where they keep the sacred flame.

‘The Hall of Panaceas sounds interesting too. There should be some nice things there!’

Tang Hao was almost drooling when he thought about that.

With a smug tone, the elder began to introduce the treasures kept inside those three halls. That was when Tang Hao started drooling.

“Mine, mine! They’re all mine!”

He wiped his drool, and his eyes sparkled.

“Alright, everyone, be prepared!”

After the pouches were given out, the elder waved his hand and walked away.

“What should we do now? We’re going to die!”

After the elder was gone, many of the herb gatherers started to tremble.

“We’ll fight them to the death, of course!” Lei Shou shouted.

“How can we be a match for them? So what if we injure them? That’ll only anger them, and we’ll be dead for sure.”

“That’s right! I think we’d better hide!”

The herb gatherers said.

“Where should we hide? The elites would surely come after us for these,” Lei Shou said while waving the herb pouch in his hand.

Not every elite would need it to fend off the beasts, but there would be some elites who would hunt them down for the pouches.

“Then what should we do?”

Those herb gatherers trembled even more violently.

“Let’s ignore them and go!” Tang Hao said.

If those people could not help themselves, they would only be getting in the way when the fight started.

Including Tang Hao, there were seven of them in total. Each of them was carrying a full load of weapons.

The group of herb gatherers hid themselves well in the forest.

“What should we do?”

Everyone looked at each other worriedly.

They had the courage, but they lacked a solution. They were the weakest among their generation, and there was a big gap between them and the weakest of the elites, not to mention the cream of the crop.

Tang Hao said calmly while chewing on a blade of gra.s.s. “Let’s… pull off a big caper today!”

The people were shocked by Tang Hao’s claim.

“A… big caper?” Lei Shou was stunned.

“That’s right!” Tang Hao nodded.

“How big?”

“As big as you can imagine!” Tang Hao said.

Those people were stunned. How were they going to pull off anything with their strength?

“Do you have a fever, Mu? Or did you hit your head?” Lei Shou said.

“d.a.m.n! I’m totally fine!” Tang Hao muttered.

He was not worried if those people suspected that he was an impostor. After all, he was going to run away after the heist. He was not going to pretend to be Lei Mu forever.

“Then… what should we do?”

“We’ll do this… and that…” Tang Hao chuckled and explained his plan to them.

The people were shocked by what they heard. Tang Hao’s plan had upended their worldview.

“Let’s do it! F*ck them! If they’re going to kill us, we shouldn’t go easy on them either!” Lei Shou shouted excitedly.

“Right! Let’s do it!”

The group of people clenched their fists and cheered each other up.

About ten minutes later, a group of young men and women swarmed in from the entrance. The elites and prodigies numbered one hundred people in total.

“Where are those useless guys? Let’s have some fun with them first!”

Many people shouted and scattered in all directions.

“Hey, Lei Mu, Lei Shou, get out here now! Your grandpa Lei Tai is here!”

A burly young man strode forward in the forest. As he walked, he shouted in all directions.

Lei Tai was one of the people who had mocked Tang Hao and the others outside the cave.

“Show yourselves, you cowards!”

Lei Tai shouted louder and louder.

After walking for a while, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Upon closer inspection, it was Lei Shou.

“Hahaha! You really came out! Prepare to be tortured!”

Lei Tai laughed sinisterly and strode forward, ready to make his move.

Suddenly, several figures dashed out from the side. Each of them was wielding a bow.

“Hmph! Petty tricks!”

Lei Tai looked around and sneered. His body trembled slightly, and his skin glowed with a metallic l.u.s.ter. It had become stronger by several times.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

When the arrows struck his body, it sounded like metal clas.h.i.+ng against each other. They did not leave even a scratch.

“Hahaha, is that all you’ve got? Try harder!”

Lei Tai laughed smugly.

The next moment, there was a thud, and Lei Tai’s body froze. His facial muscles began to twitch violently.

An arrow had struck him between the b.u.t.t cheeks.

He clutched his b.u.t.t as he let out a blood-curdling howl.

His a.n.a.l sphincter was delicate to begin with, and the arrow had pierced it deeply. He was in utter agony.

Whoos.h.!.+ Another arrow struck his b.u.t.t, and blood splattered everywhere.

Lei Tai’s body trembled again. His face was pale, and he convulsed as he fell to the ground.

“Sigh, if only your Achilles’ heel is actually your heel!”

Tang Hao put down his bow and lamented.

Then, he roared, “Quick! It’s our turn!”

Lei Shou and the others came to their senses. They roared while charging forward, pulled out their maces, and began to whale on Lei Tai. Soon, Lei Tai was beaten within an inch of his life.

Then, they stripped off his clothes and tied him to a tree.

“That felt great!”

The group of herb gatherers thought that it was a cathartic experience.

They began to do the same thing to the other elites.
