Chapter 552: Chapter 426: Trial Temple (First Update)

A group of "Steel Giant Apes" was charging towards Su Yu and Zhang Zhongmou’s party, causing Qin Jiagui to feel a sense of panic. In a sudden frenzy, he charged forward, his shoulder-mounted cannon towers firing rounds one after another in a torrent of madness.

His "Double Shoulder Cannon Tower" typically could only fire two rounds at a time with a five-second interval. But in his heightened emotional state, Qin Jiagui broke this rule, firing ceaselessly, one round after another.

Ada yelped in surprise, sensing the unusual changes in Qin Jiagui’s body. A thought flashed through her mind: "Could this be..."

Zhang Zhongmou, transformed into a rock monster, stomped his feet and "thud," lands next to Qin Jiagui to avoid any mishap.

The shells fired by Qin Jiagui landed amidst the Steel Giant Apes. Pulsating cascades of earthshaking explosions followed, causing the Steel Giant Apes to roar in pain. Although these beings were seventh-level beasts, the shells fired by the "Double Shoulder Cannon Tower" were extremely powerful. Taking a hit, the apes were scorched and bleeding. They weren’t critically hurt but nonetheless sustained injuries, and their roars grew more ferocious.

Ma Ziye stomped her feet, her right hand clutching the ’Starry Blade’. The "Heaven and Earth Net" had silently spread out. Dozens of steel wires crisscrossed each other, quickly forming a steel web several tens of meters wide in front of them.

Once the Steel Giant Apes stepped onto this steel web, not only would their feet be entangled by the wires, the poisonous aura accompanying the web would invade their bodies, causing a gradual paralysis. Incapacitated by the venomous intrusion, they soon lost all their power and could no longer move.

Qin Jiagui bellowed and pounced on a "Steel Giant Ape" that had just lost its strength due to Ma Ziye’s poisonous invasion. His arms transforming into metal, he violently assaulted the ape.

The "Iron Fist Double Explosion" unleashed astonishing power. However, it was still difficult to penetrate the sturdy bodily defenses of the "Steel Giant Ape".

"Die, die!" Qin Jiagui roared hoarsely, giving his all, his metallic fists bombarding the body of the Steel Giant Ape. A harsh metallic clanging noise echoed as sparks flew. The Steel Giant Ape’s eyes widened, wanting to retaliate, but it was powerless and could not fight back.

Zhang Zhongmou, in his incarnated form as a rock monster, squared off against a Steel Giant Ape. His stone arms were entangled in the metallic arms of his opponent. Zhang Zhongmou released a long roar and summoned an unparalleled force which lifted the ape and forcefully slammed it to the ground with a "thud".

The ground beneath split open as the internal organs of the Steel Giant Ape were jarred, oozing blood from its mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.

Following them, Gu Lingshuang, Ren Honglin, and Murong Dingyuan went on the offensive. Covered in white bandages, Gu Lingshuang flung bands of hard, wire-like cloths toward a Steel Giant Ape at high speed, ensnaring it in an instant.

Gu Lingshuang yelled, pulling the wires with both hands.

Amidst the screeching sounds, Gu Lingshuang, despite exerting all her strength, was flung away by the Giant Ape instead of managing to pull it.

Gu Lingshuang was startled and finally realized the gap between sixth order and seventh-level monsters. Ren Honglin, seeing the danger Gu Lingshuang was in, rushed to help without a word, hurling his Dragon Spear.

With a "whoosh," the Dragon Spear struck the Steel Giant Ape, the impact causing a piercing noise. Ren Honglin used his left hand to wield his square shield and hammered it down, "thump," on the head of the Steel Giant Ape.

Instantly, the Steel Giant Ape’s forehead was covered in fresh blood and issued a hoarse cry. It swiftly snapped the white cloth strips on its body and flung its arms forward.

Ren Honglin grunted in surprise. His square shield barely held up against the crushing force from the Giant Ape’s arm, and its impact shattered the shield. His body was sent rolling and tumbling away.

Su Yu, sitting on Ada’s back, watched as both sides clashed and the others quickly got into peril, apart from Zhang Zhongmou. He had no choice but to leap down and join the skirmish.

Su Yu Springing to his feet, moved at a speed much faster than the seventh-level Steel Giant Apes. As the ape just finished flinging Ren Honglin away and was about to pursue, Su Yu had already extended a hand and grabbed one of its arms. With a sudden pull, the gigantic Steel Giant Ape, standing at an impressive two and a half meters, was yanked off its feet and hurled into the air by Su Yu as easily as if it were a puppet.

With a thunderous "boom," Su Yu let go, and the Steel Giant Ape was sent flying into another of its kind by an overwhelming force. Screaming miserably, both Ape’s bodies impacted with a sickening crunch, collapsing to the ground, unable to rise again.

Faced with Su Yu, who had attained the power of the seventh-level peak, the Steel Giant Apes were completely outmatched in terms of speed, strength, and reactions. With a casual display of Su Yu’s power, the ferocious Steel Giant Apes wilted: they were no more threatening than a group of chickens and dogs.

Zhang Zhongmou saw Su Yu take action, and in the blink of an eye, ten Steel Giant Apes fell, unable to withstand his attack. He couldn’t help but laugh, raising both hands and yelled out, "Rock Wall—"

As he raised his hands, suddenly, a giant rock wall rose from the ground before him. Following that, he slammed his hands hard against this rock wall.

With a "boom" that shook the Earth, the entire wall was knocked over by him, immediately pressing down on three Steel Giant Apes that had just pounced. Then, Zhang Zhongmou leaped onto the wall, laughing gleefully, looking very pleased with himself.

At the same moment, Su Yu had already completely dealt with the remaining Steel Giant Apes.

Coming back from the scattered bodies of the Steel Giant Apes, Su Yu did not linger, saying in a deep voice, "Let’s go. We’ve already wasted a lot of time here, we don’t have much left."

In order not to delay any further, Su Yu was ready to attack directly as soon as he saw monsters on the route. No matter whether they were ordinary Level 7 monsters, or Elite Level 7 monsters, or even Boss Level 7 monsters, none could withstand a strike from Su Yu. They were all annihilated instantly, until everyone broke out from this pile of ore, a temple as vast as a city and lightly gilded appeared before them.

The "Trial Temple" of the fourth level of the "Gold Elemental Space" had arrived.

Su Yu had experienced a trial before, but this fourth "Trial Temple" of the "Gold Elemental Space" seemed far more vast and majestic than the second level’s Trial Temple of the fire element.

Outside the temple, there were erect ancient columns. When Ada stopped, everyone gasped, and Zhang Zhongmou asked, "Is this the temple?"

Su Yu hummed in agreement and then leaped down. Immediately, Ada shrunk down into a tiny thing again and jumped onto his shoulder.

Thinking of his last encounter outside a temple, Su Yu reminded everyone to be cautious. Then he took the lead and walked inside the vast temple. Among the columns were entrances. Su Yu chose one and went inside without encountering any danger.

Everyone followed behind Su Yu and went in one by one. Just after entering, there was a sudden "boom", the giant door behind them closed, and in front of them was a long, wide, and deep corridor. And Su Yu, who was at the head, stopped.

A Steel Giant Ape, with mottled skin, stood silently in the middle of the corridor, staring at the people who had just entered.

The Perception Eye on his left hand fired up immediately, and a piece of information appeared in Su Yu’s mind.

Name: Golden Giant Ape Beast, a seventh-level golden beast evolved from a Steel Giant Ape consuming Golden Blood. Its skin is harder than steel, and its strength is boundless. It is an unrivaled existence among seventh-level beasts, and is extremely terrifying.

Su Yu frowned, he hadn’t expected that there were no dangers outside this temple, but immediately upon entering there would be a seventh-level Golden Beast.

"Everyone, retreat." Su Yu raised a hand. He didn’t know whether this golden beast was only in this corridor or in all of them. A lot of them were Sixth-order Black Iron Warriors in this trial. If there are these seventh-level golden beasts in all corridors, wouldn’t these sixth-order Black Iron Warriors be walking to their deaths?

As he was processing this, the golden beast in front of him roared and began charging towards them.

Zhang Zhongmou laughed, "Su Yu, let me try." Zhang Zhongmou was full of confidence in himself. Even though the opponent was a golden seventh-level beast, he would still dare to fight it. The others, however, retreated one after another. A seventh-level Golden Beast, for them, was a creature of utter destruction.

As Su Yu hesitated for a moment, Zhang Zhongmou had already activated Rockification all over his body and opened the third eye on his forehead, shooting out the "Medusa’s Eye" evolved from the "Petrifying Eye".

"Medusa’s Eye" also has the ability to petrify enemies. Its effects are significantly longer, and the time between shots is shorter.

The light of petrification from the "Medusa’s Eye" shot out in an instant, but the Golden Giant Ape dodged it with a flick of its figure. Its right hand, covered with yellow mottles, extended out and landed on Zhang Zhongmou’s chest.

Immediately, amidst the sound of "creak, creak," the sections of the rocky chest materialized by Zhang Zhongmou’s transformation broke apart piece by piece. He grunted, spat out blood, and was knocked backwards.

Su Yu sighed, shook his head, and caught Zhang Zhongmou. With a pat on his shoulder, he moved in a flash, suddenly colliding with the Golden Giant Ape. (To be continued, to see what happens next, go to www.qidian.com, where there are more Chapters, support the author and read the official version!)
