Chapter 102 Trial
Parker, who is always talked about by Uncle Ben, is still walking alone in the endless gray land.

The soil under my feet has cracked into countless tiny cracks, like scars left by time on the earth. Every step seems to be stepping on the pain in my heart.

The wind blew up dust and blew towards us, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill that made people shiver.

It was eerily quiet all around, with only the sound of the wind whistling in my ears.

Parker tightened his thin white shirt, feeling an indescribable sense of loneliness in his heart.

With every step he took, he could feel the helplessness and confusion in his heart growing larger and larger, as if it was about to swallow him whole.

The tall tower in the distance seemed to be getting closer step by step, gradually becoming clearer and larger in his vision.

Originally just a tiny dot on the skyline, it now took up most of the picture in his eyes like a giant beast.

The sharp outline of the tower top flickered with a faint light, as if waving to him, attracting him to move forward.

"It should be soon. I'll leave here as soon as possible, otherwise Uncle Ben and Aunt May will be worried."

Parker calmed himself down and continued moving forward.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally arrived in front of the tower with unsteady steps.

When viewed up close, the tower appears even more majestic and magnificent.

The tower rises high into the clouds, as if it will pierce the sky. The stone bricks are closely connected, revealing an ancient atmosphere, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.

What attracted Parker's attention most was the spider web logo printed on the gate at the bottom of the tower. The mark on the chest seemed to be getting hotter and even emitting a red light, shining through the white shirt and reflecting on the land shrouded in shadows.

At the same time, the single eye on the spider web mark on the tower gate moved, as if waking up from a deep sleep, slowly turning, and finally staring at Parker.

The one-eyed gaze seemed to have a kind of magical power that penetrated Parker's soul and reached deep into his heart, causing his heartbeat to suddenly speed up, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping his heart.

Parker involuntarily took a step back, his eyes filled with fear and confusion. The tension in his heart made him panic and blurt out everything he thought of.

"Hey, Mr. One-Eye, you look a little scary, can you speak? Can you tell me where this place is? How can I leave here? Oh, I am really stupid, how can an eyeball speak? But, what if? Well, Mr. One-Eye, why don't you try to squeak?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the one eye suddenly flashed, as if conveying some message.

Immediately afterwards, Parker felt a severe headache, as if countless fragments of information flashed in his mind.

He clutched his head tightly, trying not to lose consciousness, but the force grew stronger and stronger, almost tearing him apart.

"what!"

Parker held his head and his howls of pain tore through the silent wilderness.

He pressed his hands tightly against his temples, as if trying to squeeze the unbearable pain out of his head.

The world in front of my eyes began to blur, and the surrounding scene seemed to be shrouded in thick fog.

His knees went weak and he fell heavily to the ground, his body shaking violently as if every nerve was on fire.

Gradually, Parker's screams became weaker and weaker, from the initial heart-wrenching sound to like a whisper drifting in the wind, and finally disappeared into the air.

His eyes gradually regained clarity, no longer confused and fearful, but revealing a long-lost sense of enlightenment.

"This is the Shadow Wilds."

Parker murmured, standing up again.

He received a lot of information. He not only knew the name of this place, but also knew that this was a trial place where the gods bestowed power on believers.

Only by passing the trial and truly becoming a god's favored one can you leave here.

However, making him a believer of an evil god is a terrible thing no matter how you think about it. He doesn't want to become as fanatical as Anna and lose her mind.

In confusion, Parker looked towards the gate of the tower. As if his identity had been confirmed, the gate slowly opened and the spider web mark on it lost its original magic and became ordinary.

As the door gradually opened, the shadow inside became thicker and thicker, as if to swallow everything. Parker sighed deeply, and finally decided to go in and take a look. After all, he couldn't stay here forever.

He moved his feet and walked over carefully.

Standing in front of the door, Parker's hands trembled slightly and a thin layer of sweat seeped out of his forehead. Hesitation was like an invisible shackle that made him unable to move for a moment.

He took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, he clenched his teeth, took a big step forward, and was instantly swallowed up by the darkness.

At that moment, he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. The shadows around him surged in like living creatures, completely submerging his figure.

As the darkness in front of his eyes gradually faded, Parker's vision slowly became clear.

He blinked and found himself in a quaint room.

The room was empty, the only piece of furniture was a familiar laboratory table that stood quietly in the middle of the room.

The experimental table was piled with all kinds of strange materials, some of which flickered faintly, some gave off a faint fragrance, and some were filled with an unsettling odor.

These materials come in various shapes, some look like rare plants collected from the depths of a mysterious forest, and others look like strange ores dug out from ancient mines.

Judging from the information received, this should be the place where the trial is to be taken. The so-called trial is to mix the things on the laboratory table according to the extra recipe in his mind to make a bottle of qualified potion, and require Parker to drink this bottle of potion.

Immortality is success.

Well, that doesn't sound difficult.

Parker was eager to try. When he worked in Osborne Building, he didn't have many opportunities to touch experimental instruments, let alone do experiments himself.

Forget it, let’s talk about it after we get out.

As long as he stays true to himself, he won't necessarily become like Anna.

There was determination in Parker's eyes. He took another deep breath and walked to the experimental table.

Now that he had made the decision, he had to try his best to do it. He tried hard to identify the strange-shaped materials in front of him, matching them one by one with the information in his mind, and simulated the experimental steps several times in his mind until he had a clear understanding of them.

Judging from the amount of materials, he only has three chances. If he fails all three times, he will have to stay in this hellhole forever.

Fortunately, his major is suitable for him, so he is very confident.

Parker flexed his finger joints and began to prepare the potion according to the recipe.

"First, heat and melt the Starlight Stone, then add the Screaming Grass and Screaming Flower."

As a result, I failed the first time.

When Parker picked up the screaming grass, it really started screaming suddenly, which scared him so much that he added the wrong amount due to shaking hands.

After preparing himself mentally, Parker started over.

This time it was very smooth, and soon there was a tube of strange sticky liquid emitting blue smoke in his hand.

"Is this really drinkable?"

Parker's face was full of disgust, but for the sake of the long-awaited freedom, he had to bite the bullet and face the challenge.

The potion bottle trembled slightly in his hand. The liquid in the bottle seemed like some kind of dark food, emitting a disgusting smell.

Parker closed his eyes, mustered up his courage, and poured the disgusting potion into his mouth.

The liquid slid across the tip of his tongue, and the bitter taste instantly exploded in his mouth, almost suffocating him.

"Ugh, this is too hard to drink."
