Chapter 2014 - 1534: Devil's Trial, Second Stage! (Part 3)

When he saw Qin Tiannan earlier, Qin Fang had already used his Scouting Skill to inspect him. His father had indeed stepped into the Great Grandmaster Level.However, the advancement was not long-standing, likely within the last year or two, which corresponded with what the Bloody-handed Demon Tu San had said.

Having only advanced for a year or two, he had just solidified his strength at the Early Stage of the Grandmaster Level...

That Scarface was about the same, roughly on par with Qin Tiannan... Of course, if the two were to genuinely clash, the outcome would depend on their individual skills!

This Scarface is just a common Grandmaster-level expert, and there may be many experts on Devil's Island who are stronger than him...

It is precisely because of this that Qin Fang understood why his father Qin Tiannan did not help him just now.

Because the timing wasn't right...

Not to mention, although Qin Fang's mini-map surveillance range extended to nearly a hundred meters, that was just a blink of an eye for an expert of the Great Grandmaster-level tier.

If Qin Tiannan were to make a move, not only would Scarface definitely block him, but it might also attract even more terrifying experts to intervene.

If that were to happen, although the father and son would reunite, escaping from Devil's Island would be as difficult as reaching the heavens.

Don't think that Qin Fang's Stealth Skill is that formidable; it is formidable relatively speaking. Perhaps an average Grandmaster-level expert can't see through it, but there are definitely people on this island who can... possibly quite a few!

Qin Fang had already scouted this area. The distance to the sea was quite far. Even if he and his father were to run at full speed, it would take at least several minutes... and that's assuming there were no obstacles.

If they were blocked by experts, the time would be endlessly extended... which basically spells failure in their escape.

The result of failure is evident; the punishments they would face would be the harshest imaginable... possibly even more gruesome than death.

"We have to think of a plan..."

Qin Fang took a careful look. At the moment, his route was heading not towards the sea but inland, directly towards a mountain.

Escaping from the sea was the escape plan that Qin Fang had already devised, and it was the only way to safely get his father Qin Tiannan off Devil's Island.

However, how the father and son would reach the sea is indeed a rather troublesome issue, especially since they hadn't even exchanged a word yet.

"A month... there will definitely be opportunities!"

For now, Qin Fang could not act on his own and had to take things one step at a time.

Fortunately, time was still relatively abundant, as the Devil's Trial lasted a month. It's only been two or three days now; there is still plenty of time for Qin Fang to plan.

"Hmm, isn't this..."

Just as Qin Fang's mind settled and he prepared to endure the current trial, he noticed that their group had arrived at a mountain area.

When Qin Fang saw that a portal had opened on the mountain surface, a strange glint appeared in his eyes.

He glanced briefly at the other trialists around, seeming to notice nothing out of the ordinary, but still couldn't help but show a faint smile.

This door was hidden on the rocky surface of the mountain, almost indistinguishable from its surroundings, matching the mountain's color perfectly.

However, this door wasn't made of stone but rather crafted from special alloys, much stronger in hardness and thickness than rock.

"This is your next challenge in the Devil's Trial, also known as the Elite Trial... Only those who complete this trial are true elites!"

The leader began his briefing in front of the door, while the eight Enforcement Disciples stood scattered, still surrounding the trialists at the center.

"Inside is a giant mountain maze, filled with many cultivation treasures, such as various Genius Earth Treasures, Martial Arts Manuscripts, and even rare Elixirs... If you're lucky enough to find them, they will be yours..."

The leader gave a simple introduction to the mountain maze, and just mentioning these benefits instantly made the trialists' eyes light up.

"Hiss~~"

Some couldn't help but gasp, their breathing becoming rapid, eager to rush inside to find the treasures.

"However, opportunities and risks coexist. Inside are not only mechanisms and traps galore but also various poisonous insects and fierce beasts... If you're unlucky, heh... you know!"

However, the leader's next words made everyone shiver, their brows furrowing slightly.

It seemed as if they had anticipated this. Although their expressions were not as excited as before, no one showed signs of retreat or fear.

Anyone daring enough to participate in the Devil's Trial is pretty much a renowned figure in the Underground World, having survived countless life-and-death situations. How could they fear such a trial?

"Alright, I won't say much more. Enter according to the numbers on your cards... Once everyone is inside, this door will be completely sealed!"

After this introduction, the leader did not bother to say more. He was also too lazy to talk further with the trialists and started counting people for entry directly.

"Three days! You only have three days... After three days, I will open this door and bring you out... I wish you all good luck!"

Of course, when letting people in, he also briefly mentioned the time limit. If they were locked inside for ten days or half a month, they'd likely not survive even if they weren't killed...(To be continued.
