Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

Chapter 286: Chapter 268: Beast Taming Civilization!_2

First, it meant that they essentially had no chance of competing for the top ranking!

They would lose out on the substantial rewards.

Secondly, for such a formidable civilization to be matched to the same Trial Battlefield meant that the difficulty of the Trial could very possibly far exceed their expectations!

“The top priority now is to find this civilization, or at the very least determine which civilization it is!” another voice chimed in, this time a woman, standing at an astonishing height of five meters.

Moreover, she had a stunning slender upper body with a cold demeanor and unequaled charisma, but her lower half was that of a gigantic scorpion! Behind her trailed no fewer than nine barbed scorpion tails!

She was known as the Scorpion King!

“This should not be difficult,” someone else spoke; his appearance was rather normal, at a height of three meters, with a lean build, and every breath he took seemed to exude a cold aura. “Such a performance value boost is not just about strength; intelligence gathering is even more crucial. This civilization must have had contact with the indigenous civilization. We can just ask the Company Alliance which ‘Hidden Civilization’ has been actively seeking and killing Dimensional Creatures today, and then we will know. But after finding them, if they are a cruel, cold, and greedy civilization, should we expose ourselves and invite disaster?”

Indeed, this was the main reason for this gathering of “Divine-level Beastmasters”!

Against an indigenous civilization, they could intimidate them with their various resources and foundation from the Civilization Trial, unlike anything in this world.

But the Trial Civilizations were entirely different.

Their developmental potential, foundation and strength, everything could surpass them!

Furthermore, the rate of point growth seemed a bit too terrifying!

Faced with the malice of such a Trial Civilization, they had no confidence, not even with their hidden cards!

“We’ll have to come into contact sooner or later,” someone else voiced, “Since we cannot avoid it inevitably, we might as well understand and grasp their intelligence beforehand.”

“Otherwise,” someone objected, “the background of this Trial is so vast, if we each hold our own, we may not necessarily come into contact.”

“Naïve! When has a Trial ever been simple? Like the third Trial, if we hadn’t made contact with all the civilizations and formed an alliance, we would never have been able to pass with minimal sacrifice!”

“Have you all been scared out of your wits? You’re blindly afraid without knowing anything.”

…

Each of these individuals was a Big Shot, each presiding over their own territory and had reached the Extraordinary Fourth Stage, a level that the entire Beast Taming Civilization hadn’t seen in the last ten thousand years. Their power was earth-shaking, almost god-like.

And yet, at this moment, they were arguing incessantly, and their voices were not without fear.

After all, in the face of the Civilization Trial, the stronger one was, the more they could feel their own insignificance.

Even if they became powerful enough to effortlessly destroy planets, within the Trial, they still walked on thin ice.

Finally, everyone turned their gaze to the strongest one among them.

The President of the Beast Master Association!

Named Mo Wen.

He appeared to be extremely aged, with his face covered in wrinkles and his frame somewhat stooped.

However, even before the Civilization Trial had begun, he was already one of the strongest, and after the Trial began, he had fortuitously acquired a Golden Legendary Talent!

It was thanks to him that the Cangling Civilization had safely navigated through as many as four Trials, playing the most crucial role in their survival.

Seeing the discussion quiet down, the powerful figure who had been half-closing his eyes and taking in everyone’s opinions silently finally spoke, “Let’s request information about the other ‘Hidden Civilizations’ from the Company Alliance and the Justice Federation, not just asking about one civilization, but all of them.”

Indeed, this was a compromise proposal that had been suggested before.

There was no guarantee that they would learn about the other civilization through such inquiries, considering the strength of their opponents; both the Company Alliance and the Justice Federation would surely be cautious.

However, once Mo Wen spoke up, it was the final word.

This was the role of an authoritative figure in the Trial.

“Besides, whatever the other civilizations may be, whether they are friend or foe, the most important thing for us remains to rapidly enhance ourselves!” Mo Wen spoke again, “There’s no need to hide our strength anymore; let everyone strike full force, sparing no effort to accumulate points!”

“This…” The others hesitated for a moment.

They indeed had been concealing their strength; the entire civilization actually had fifty-four Chosen Ones that had reached the Fourth Rank, but only twenty were known.

This was the usual choice.

After all, this trial has just begun; not to mention the Trial Civilization, even the information on the indigenous civilization is barely understood.

If we don’t hold back, we could be in danger at any time.

But now, to make a full-force attack? Without any reservations?

“Our trump cards are exposed, then we accumulate new ones!” Mo Wen seemed to see some people hesitating, and spoke again, “From now on, I’ve decided to take half of the points we earn to gamble on treasure chests!”

Gamble on treasure chests!

Everyone’s heart was struck by the announcement, looking at Mo Wen with some disbelief.

After the store reached Level 31, a new feature appeared.

[Treasure Chest Draw]

The function, as the name suggests, allows one to invest a large number of points to draw different quality treasure chests by chance!

Once a Mythical-level treasure chest is drawn, it will undoubtedly contain Mythical-level items.

This would vastly increase the foundation of our civilization.

But at the same time, if luck is not on our side, a massive amount of points will be wasted!

Before this, everyone agreed that there was no need to be a gambling fool, not until a dire moment.

But now…to use half of our points for gambling?

This meant they no longer had much confidence in safely getting through this trial.

“Half, even if we lose the gamble, it won’t bankrupt us,” Mo Wen looked around at everyone present and said solemnly, “I made this decision because of the pressure from the civilization currently ranked first, and also because of the threat from the Dimension Space—I suspect the most powerful enemy in this trial has a Golden Legendary Quality ability and has reached the Fifth Stage!”

Everyone’s mouths fell open.

This statement was even more shocking than what he had said before!

Golden Legendary abilities, the Fifth Stage?

If such an enemy really existed, even if there was only one, they could easily destroy their entire civilization!

This was no exaggeration!

On the Extraordinary Path, the higher the stage, the greater the gap between each level.

Not to mention the Fifth Stage, even at the Fourth Stage.

A Level 30 Chosen One with a Purple Epic Talent, if lacking in foundation, would have difficulty defeating a Level 31 Non-Chosen One!

Purple Epic Talent, Purple Epic abilities, equipment, cultivation techniques, elixirs…only by combining this series of advantages could one barely bridge the gap that this mere “one level” brings!

If it’s an enemy at the Fifth Stage with low status, then as long as President Mo Wen’s level rose close to Level 40, it would not be impossible to fight.

But the Fifth Stage, with a Golden Legendary Rank?

—Betting the entire civilization, there would be no hope whatsoever!

Could one possibly break through to the Fifth Stage within this mere trial?

“…” Everyone fell silent, feeling a suffocating pressure.

“I’m not exaggerating the danger,” Mo Wen breathed out slowly and continued, “You all know, I have a Level 33 Space Attribute Pet Beast—the Illusion Dream Beast. I have been researching Dimension Space for some time now, especially that ‘pollution’, and have vaguely grasped its essence, which definitely reaches a Golden Legendary quality!”

Cangling Civilization does not have a database cheat.

Everything must be discovered on our own.

The focus of this trial must lie within the Dimension Space, it’s not surprising to have some results given the direction of the research.

However, the results brought not good news but rather the opposite.

Mo Wen continued, “With the quality being apparent, you should also vaguely feel that, although I was not sure about the level of the enemy with this ‘Pollution Ability’, given the emergence of such a terrifying Trial Civilization…”@@novelbin@@
