Neurotoxin?
After being infected by a neurotoxin, would someone be assimilated into a zombie?
The three of them, Xiao Ye and the others, did not know much about poison, but they were very shocked and found it strange, since they had been here for over ten minutes without feeling even the slightest discomfort in their bodies.
Cheng Bingxi said worriedly, "Usually with poison, it goes from mild to severe. At first, you don’t feel anything, but it’s like being a frog boiled in warm water. By the time you realize it, it’s too late to detox. What if we’re already poisoned?"
Nangong Siyao became extra cautious in her heart, and seriously said, "It’s possible."
Xiao Ye comforted her, "Don’t worry, after our templates upgraded, our bodies evolved, and our life level made a huge leap. We can be immune to many negative factors, poison included."
Just like in the underground crystal ore before, his body was completely immune to the Charming Poison, didn’t even need to take an antidote. The Charming Poison at Great Venerable Level had no effect on him at all when he was at the Venerable Realm.
Even now, with this terrifying-looking neurotoxin, Xiao Ye was confident that his body could naturally resist it.
At that moment, from above came two loud thuds, "Boom! Boom!"
The pair of Contractors who were flying toward the sky suddenly crashed into a barrier—a barrier that limited high-altitude flight.
They ran smack into it, and just hearing the sound made it obvious how painful it was.
"Awoo!" "Hiss!"
The two gasped in pain, feeling like their heads were about to split open.
"It’s only two hundred meters up! Those zombies have no mind, can’t fly, can’t use Venerable Realm energy, their attacks are primitive as hell, yet if all these zombies can leap this high, we’re screwed!"
"Don’t breathe, and don’t go head-to-head with the zombies either. Use Light Attribute Factors to drive out the poison that’s seeped through your skin."
This pair of Contractors seemed to have studied the Bronze Hall strategy through and through—they were very familiar with how to pass the trial and were incredibly confident.
But in the second they stopped, the massive wave of zombies came rushing over, trying to tear into them.
At this critical juncture, both of them shifted into light form.
The light form turned their bodies into light elements, which was totally different from Phantom Spirit Form.
[Light Elemental Body Conversion, transform self into light]
The two of them were Contractors with Light Attribute Templates, so they turned into light.
The Light Elemental Body could also resist attacks of various attributes to a degree, but unlike Phantom Spirit Form, it didn’t go invisible, couldn’t disappear from perception, and couldn’t hide from divine sense. So the sharp-sensed zombie horde could still sense their presence and location.
The dense mass of zombies clawed and lunged at them, but ended up hitting nothing but air, sweeping right through.
The zombies that fell to the ground didn’t pause for even a second, immediately leaping again to bite at those two beams of light.
But none of it inflicted any harm on them in Light Elemental Body.
"Tsk tsk!" Xiao Ye and the others watched from the side, "So you turned to light, not bad, but it’s still way inferior to Phantom State."
Cheng Bingxi and Nangong Siyao had never seen Contractors with Light Attributes before and couldn’t help but feel amazed.
"We came first, so we’re the ones who’ll finish the trial first, right?" Nangong Siyao asked.
Xiao Ye nodded, "Of course."
Time kept ticking by since the three entered, and before they knew it, it was almost an hour—just five minutes to go.
Xiao Ye and his group still lounged in midair watching the show, waiting for the trial to end.
But that other pair of Contractors, they were really neck-deep in trouble now.
As more and more zombies poured in from the periphery, zombies at the level of Great Venerable Five-Star started to arrive. These ones could actually harm Light Elemental Bodies.
That pair, at Venerable Realm Eight-Star, could only keep running around inside the barrier.
[Light-speed Movement, ultra-high speed movement, speed correlates to Realm]
The two beams of light darted crazily over the swamp, moving super fast. But it wasn’t real lightspeed, not even a thousandth of it, although it was still fast enough to cover several kilometers in a blink.
But, compared to the speed of Great Venerable Five-Star zombies, it was way too slow.
All the attacks from those Great Venerable Five-Star zombies landed straight on the two bodies of light.
Even though the Light Elemental Body could resist some damage, being chased and mauled by tens of thousands of Great Venerable Five-Star, Four-Star, Three-Star zombies, their bodies were barely holding together. Even maintaining Light Elemental Body was tough—they were about to break down.
"Damn it, seriously, damn it!"
"I can’t hold out much longer, what do we do?"
"Doesn’t matter, you hold out anyway. Just fifteen more minutes and we finish the trial!"
"The time limit for Bronze Hall’s second floor trial is exactly one hour. Every person gets one hour; as long as we stay here for a full hour, we’ll enter the platform barrier and be safe from the zombie horde."
"Roarrr!" Furious howls erupted.
Great Venerable Six-Star demon beast zombies and human zombies showed up in overwhelming numbers—tens of thousands of them.
Xiao Ye and his friends, still watching, actually broke a sweat for those two.
Luckily, their templates were Mythical Level, and the [Illusion-Reality Conversion] Innate Skill’s authority and rank were incredibly high— even Great Venerable Six-Star zombies couldn’t detect them at all.
*Time’s up!*
Xiao Ye and the others, still in Phantom State, didn’t move, but a force teleported them to the platform surrounded by a barrier.
Nangong Siyao cheered, "So, does this mean we passed the trial?"
Xiao Ye nodded again.
The three soon exited Phantom State, returning to their physical forms.
They turned their eyes toward the two boxes overhead.
"Buzzzz!" "Buzzzz!"
The boxes opened slowly, and two Supreme Treasures appeared before their eyes.
One was a Supreme Level soul-type healing treasure; the other was a Supreme Level body-reconstruction treasure.
Cheng Bingxi picked up both treasures, cradling them carefully in her hands with pure joy on her face, "With these, Sister Yun Bing’s soul body can recover, she’ll wake up soon."
"Xiao Ye, put them away," she said, passing both treasures to Xiao Ye without a hint of greed.
"Supreme Treasures in hand, Sister Yun Bing’s saved!" Xiao Ye took them with a grin—the first goal of their Bronze Hall adventure complete.
Next up was the Emperor Level Medical Dao inheritance.
After glancing at the two beams of light still running for their lives, Xiao Ye’s group stepped into the Teleportation Array and took off for the third floor of Bronze Hall.
"How is this possible? Didn’t they leave using the Boundary-breaking Talisman?"
"Yeah, so why are they still here!"
"Damn it, every time the Bronze Hall opens, only the first to clear the trial gets the reward. We worked our asses off for nothing."
"Not necessarily! I don’t believe they’ll always pass the trial first. There’s no way they’ll always beat us!"
Finally, after a few more minutes, the two beams of light were forcibly moved to the platform by a power from the Bronze Hall. The platform was sealed by a barrier, so the zombie tide couldn’t detect or approach them. They were safe, they had completed the trial!
But when they looked at the two now-empty boxes, veins bulged with anger—they’d fought tooth and nail through the trial only to find nothing. Anyone would be pissed.
They both dropped from Light Element State, returning to human form.
"Ah! Your face—your hands—what happened to you?" the girl shrieked.
The guy’s expression went blank, his face covered in bulging black veins, his limbs reeking and rotting like a zombie.
The young man also panicked, "You—get away from me! You stink!"
They were both poisoned—badly poisoned, at that!
