Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 202 Ice and Snow
A few giants burst into laughter, some giants watched the fun, and only a few giants frowned.

Shanheyuan remained calm and Shanhe Oak clenched his fists.

Molten Hammer said helplessly: "This is the ethos of the giants. They are very united to the outside world. If a giant dragon dares to attack Shanheyuan, they will definitely fight shoulder to shoulder without saying a word. But it is different internally. The giants have abundant supplies, but giants can eat and poop, and their consumption is extremely high. In order to compete for resources, they must be brave and fierce. These are all normal things, otherwise they can't cultivate a group of strong people who can fight against dragons."

Zhou Leng nodded, understanding the customs of different ethnic groups.

"I still like the human race." Shanhe Oak still misses the time when he fought together with the united human race in the Tianjie.

Zhou Leng took some tonic pills and marching pills, then went to the Giant Canteen with everyone else.

At the entrance of the cafeteria, there stood tall giants with lifeless eyes and spears in their hands.

When Zhou Leng walked into the cafeteria and saw the giant using pots as plates and buckets as bowls, he felt very familiar with it.

Several people ordered five pots of dishes and ten buckets of rice and started eating with big mouthfuls.

The sound of smacking lips continued. It was the custom of giants that the louder one eats, the better.

Moltenhammer waited for the dwarf to finish eating, put down the wooden spoon, and looked at the others.

Soon, Zhang Xinglie put down the wooden spoon, and there was still half a bucket of rice left, which he put aside.

Zhou Leng was still eating.

I ate two buckets of rice and almost two pots of vegetables and was very satisfied.

The two brothers Shanhe were still eating.

Looking around the cafeteria, I saw that quite a few young giants had already finished their meals.

Zhou Leng's eyes suddenly moved and he turned back.

In the cafeteria, there were actually some people wearing the robes of the Ice and Snow God Cult sitting there. They looked like demon warriors from the demon world.

In the world of demons, some people cannot control demons or use spells.

The magician then uses magic arts to extract the magic spirits, integrate them into his body, and transform them into powerful magic warriors.

The upper limit of the Demon Warrior is not high, at most it is the peak of the innate level.

But they are numerous, and are stronger than humans below the innate level. Once they reach the innate level, they are beaten by humans.

"Has your appetite always been so big?" Zhang Xinglie asked.

“It’s been getting bigger lately.”

"Okay, it means your body is growing at a high speed. When you eat less, it means your body has grown to your current level. Otherwise, it means you have not yet reached the upper limit of your current level. My body often experiences a sudden increase in appetite, and it usually returns to normal in a month."

The examiner stood in the cafeteria, shouting and yelling.

"My little ones, the second trial is the Dreaming Throne. Get ready and go for the trial in a bit."

The whole place was silent, many giants were stunned, and some giants cursed under their breath.

Shanhe Oak cursed a few words under his breath and explained to Zhou Leng and Rongchui.

"Be prepared. The Dream Throne is the most difficult of all trials."

Molten Hammer asked, "I really haven't heard of this trial."

Shanhe Oak continued, "This trial is very simple. All you have to do is sit down."

"Where I sit is the 'Pain Water Lily'. The leaves of the Pain Water Lily have densely packed needles."

"It sounds ordinary, but the Painful Water Lily has the ability to cause hallucinations and amplify pain."

"Those needles may not even be able to pierce our skin, but the moment they touch, they will create an illusion attack."

"How painful is the Painful Water Lily? Let's put it this way, there are giants who died from the pain."

Molten Hammer was surprised and said, "Is it so exaggerated? Can hallucinations kill people?"

"Have you forgotten the magic spell?"

Molten Hammer suddenly realized and said, "I understand. Some magic illusions can make people think they are dead, and then they really die."

"The most powerful thing about the Painful Water Lily is that it not only causes pain, but it can also cause excessive fear, which can lead to amplified pain. This is the reason why hallucinations can cause death."

"Because when everyone gets together, there will be a collective panic, which is also a torment."

"The last battle of carrying stones directly reduced more than 20,000 people to more than 10,000. The Pain Water Lily may only have 5,000 left, or even less."

"Why is it called the Throne of Sleep?" asked Molten Hammer.

"If you feel too much pain, you will pass out and fall into a dream woven by painful water lilies. Then, the most terrifying thing is..."

Shanhe Oak glanced at everyone and said slowly: "If you feel like you are going to faint, give up decisively. Because once you faint and fall into the sleep of the painful water lily, you will fall into an endless cycle of 'death dreams'."

"Then, your consciousness will gradually collapse. At the very least, you will go crazy, and at the worst, your consciousness will dissipate and you will become a fool who has lost his mind."

"See those giants outside the cafeteria? They are the poor creatures whose consciousness was stripped away by the Painful Water Lily."

"Isn't it a bit too cruel?" Zhang Xinglie had never encountered such a trial before.

"If you can't even withstand this kind of trial, how can you be worthy of being protected by the giant ancestors? How can you slay the dragon? Do you really think the giant trial is a benefit?"

Zhou Leng said: "This is the second trial. If the consciousness is tired or even injured, how can we proceed to the third trial?"

"So the Dream Throne Trial is one of the most difficult trials."

Everyone instantly understood that the most terrifying aspect of this trial was its impact on the later stages.

"Can't I take medicine afterwards?"

"You can eat it, but only a few limited kinds. Of course..."

Shanhe Oak leaned down, covered his mouth with his right hand and whispered: "When we enter the third trial, if there are no examiners nearby, no one will care what you eat. Whoever is honest will be unlucky. But don't get caught on the spot, otherwise your legs will be broken and you will be disqualified from the trial."

Zhang Xinglie sighed, "No wonder many of Xiongcheng's friends refused to come to the Giant Trial. It seems that they already knew how difficult the Giant Trial was."

"Yes, it's more difficult than our dwarf trials." Molten Hammer looked helpless.

Zhou Leng said: "How do you deal with the Sleeping Throne? Zhang Xinglie and I both have the phantom of the mountain of martial arts will, which should be able to alleviate the pain."

Mountain Oak said with a smile: "We? Of course we can take it head on." Molten Hammer chuckled: "We dwarves are naturally immune to some minor illusions. I don't know if it's our talent or our good mentality. Those sirens are going to be in trouble, there is no sea water here."

As they spoke, everyone looked at the skinny sirens.

Zhou Leng saw from the corner of his eye that a demon warrior from the Ice and Snow Cult was actually looking at him, and he became alert.

Zhou Leng waved to everyone, and they leaned forward to move closer.

"Do you know anything about the Ice and Snow Cult? Especially in the Demonic World. There is very little relevant information in my database."

Zhang Xinglie said, "I have Yunhua's information. I'll send you some information to take a look."

Zhang Xinglie said, using the magic watch to convey the relevant information.

Shanhe Oak shook his head and said, "We have a lot of business with the Demon World, but not much else. We have more dealings with the dwarves."

Molten Hammer shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Black Barrel said slowly in Dwarven: "I know something. I have a friend who is from the Ice and Snow Cult."

"The Ice and Snow Cult is a secret in other places, but it is not a secret in the Demon Spirit World."

"The Ice and Snow Cult is relatively low-key, but it is widely distributed."

"They have influence in the Demon Worship Cult, demons, sirens, the demon world, and the tree man world."

"Many people misunderstand that the master of the Ice and Snow Cult is the Pale Queen of the Demon Prison, but in fact, she is not."

"The Ice and Snow God of the Ice and Snow Cult has a higher status than the Pale Queen. From what my friend said, the Pale Queen seems to be a kind of deity, a subordinate of the Ice and Snow God. Of course, it's just a guess."

"The headquarters of the Ice and Snow Cult is in the Demonic World."

"Have you heard of the Frost Kingdom?"

Everyone nodded.

Only since Zhang Xinglie was injured, he could not fully understand the Dwarven language even though he had recently made some efforts to learn it.

Zhou Leng said: "In the Demonic World, the Frost Nation is not considered a first-rate country, but it is considered to be the best among the second-rate countries. Its related ice magic items are sold well in all ten realms."

Black Barrel said: "Yes, the Royal Family of the Frost Kingdom and the Frost Magic Association are, on the surface, organizations of ice magicians, but in reality, they are two sides of the same coin with the Ice and Snow Cult."

"It is said that when the God of Ice and Snow disappeared, the Ice and Snow Cult split into two to avoid annihilation, with one group choosing the path of a pure ice magician."

"The purpose of the Ice and Snow God Cult is to revive the Ice and Snow God and reconnect the faith. This is also the reason why the Ice and Snow God Cult is spread all over the Ten Realms."

"They keep a low profile, have a good reputation and have almost no enemies."

"I see." Zhou Leng nodded slightly.

Zhang Xinglie said: "Indeed, although the Ice and Snow Cult is also expanding its influence within the Demon Worship Cult, it rarely directly participates in attacking the human race. Even if it does, it is like a subordinate led by the demons. Therefore, the human race and the Ice and Snow Cult do not have much conflict, and they turn a blind eye to many things."

Zhou Leng looked through the information sent by Zhang Xinglie.

"Have a good rest, and then prepare to sleep on the throne..."

After dinner, everyone rested for an hour and the examiner came in.

"The second trial will begin soon. Come with me."

Everyone followed the examiner, who talked as he walked.

"The rules are simple. Make sure you don't fall asleep, pass out or die. Once the time is up, you pass."

"Unconscious or asleep, with a broken leg."

"If he dies, break his legs and throw him out to feed the dogs."

"Take the initiative to end it and break the leg."

"Of course, we giants are still reasonable. Going up to the Sleeping Throne and admitting defeat shows that you were smart not to break your legs."

The candidates looked at each other and understood each other.

I really want to break the examiner's legs.

The examiner led everyone to the edge of a huge lake that stretched as far as the eye could see.

At the edge of the lake, large patches of thick lotus leaves emerged from the water and spread out on the ground beside the lake.

These lotus leaves are three inches thick and more than two meters in diameter. They are covered with densely packed small spikes about an inch high.

Those spikes are actually sharper than steel needles.

Zhou Leng, Zhang Xinglie and the dwarves looked at each other.

For a giant, these spikes are not very long.

But for humans and dwarves, it's completely different.

"My life is about to begin..." Rongchui learned some human language from the university student.

Zhang Xinglie said: "When we sit on it, be careful to avoid vital parts and large blood vessels, and basically there will be no problem."

"It's easy for you to say that. Don't scream when the time comes." said Rongchui.

Zhang Xinglie said: "I have been in the Lava Hall longer than you."

"Dwarves will never surrender!" Molten Hammer said half self-deprecatingly and half defiantly.

Shanheyuan asked, "How long will you stay in the Lava Hall?"

"Thirty-six minutes."

Shanhe Oak said: "So brutal? When my brother went there for the first time, he only lasted 32 minutes."

Shan Heyuan looked at Zhang Xinglie and paid more attention to this genius from Yunhua.

Rongchui curled his lips and pointed at Zhou Leng and said, "Why don't you ask this beast?"
