Chapter 397 Why

Chapter 397 Why

After Isabel finished speaking, none of the contestants who came here chose to quit.

Those who were willing to participate in this trial had already prepared themselves for danger.

Moreover, all of these people's strength was at least at the late stage of Uppecia. Being able to reach such a level at a young age meant that their willpower was relatively strong, and they would not be easily scared off by a few words.

Isabel nodded in approval and then handed each participant a mustard seed bag made from an unknown material. This bag was used to store the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that each player collected.

When Lachlan received his mustard seed bag, he couldn't help but marvel at how many good things this hidden sect had. The space inside the mustard seed bag was about two cubic meters.

Next, Isabel called out the names of each contestant one by one as they stepped through the light curtain door into Sacred Medicine Valley. When she called out Lachlan's name, he took a step forward and entered.

Accompanied by a slight tearing sensation in his body and dizziness, when he opened his eyes again after entering through the light curtain door, everything before him had changed drastically - thick white mist! The dense white mist limited Lachlan's vision range to only twenty meters before it became completely white.

Only vaguely could he discern that he seemed to be in the midst of a mountain range. At first glance, beyond an indeterminate distance, there seemed to be a colossal black shadow towering, likely a towering mountain peak. Lachlan greedily took a deep breath, secretly amazed.

"The spiritual energy here is so rich. Are these white mists actually formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?" he thought. "It's just a pity that compared to the spiritual spring in my hometown, the concentration is far from enough to allow me to directly break through!"

Slightly disappointed, Lachlan began to move cautiously, carefully choosing a direction to proceed.

Isabel had mentioned that there were no restrictions on fighting and killing after entering the Sacred Medicine Valley. Besides the threats brought by other participants, Lachlan was unaware of any other dangers, such as fierce beasts, snakes, insects, or other creatures, or dangers from environmental factors.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, Lachlan hadn't encountered anyone.

He realized that after the participants entered, they should randomly appear at any location within the Sacred Medicine Valley.

At this moment, his eyes lit up!

In a depression, a five-colored medicinal herb resembling a lotus flower was growing. According to the records in the Dragon Emperor Sutra in his mind, this herb was called the Five-Colored Lotus. It could be used to refine specific elixirs, and even direct consumption could increase one's strength. It was a rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

Without hesitation, Lachlan walked through the water and headed straight for the Five-Colored Lotus, intending to collect it.

Swish!

However, at this moment, a sharp breaking wind suddenly appeared. A sword radiance seemed to appear out of thin air and shot towards Lachlan.

Lachlan's face changed, quickly dodging aside.

Tapping footsteps followed closely, and two figures rushed over. Seeing these two individuals, a coldness flickered in Lachlan's eyes.

One of them was Hugo from the Wood family, and the other was a young expert resembling a utility pole, also a member of the Wood family with strength reaching the later stages of Uppecia.

"Haha... It's you?" The utility pole youth saw Lachlan and sneered with ill intentions.

Hugo looked at Lachlan, eyes flashing a few times, then coldly snorted, "Landon, the world is small, huh?"

The utility pole guy said to Hugo, "Hugo, this guy killed your brother. Now we can settle scores and grievances. Not only can we kill him, but we can also snatch his medicinal herbs! This feeling of killing with vengeance is really enjoyable, haha..."

He added with a touch of dominance, "But Hugo, let's agree in advance. This Five-Colored Lotus belongs to me. I discovered it first." The tall, thin youth had addressed Hugo as "Mr. Wood" before this.

After all, Hugo and Jackson were real brothers, both in the later stages of Uppecia, and they always stood together in times of trouble.

Other Wood family members naturally dared not offend them.

However, with Jackson's demise, only Hugo was left. Yesterday, Hugo was publicly rebuked and scolded, losing face in front of other Wood family members. They watched coldly, even with some hidden jeers and malicious joy.

This tall and thin youth, also an advanced Uppecia expert, displayed contempt for Hugo. It was evident from his words and actions.

In Hugo's eyes, a trace of gloom flashed, but he quickly concealed it, smiled, and said, "Naturally, Jett, it should be your first."

He stared fiercely at Lachlan, gritted his teeth, and said, "As long as you can help me kill this damned Landon and avenge my brother, I will be satisfied! I came in this time just to kill him!"

Hearing this, Lachlan snorted, "Want to kill me? Let's see if you have the ability!"

The tall, thin youth smirked, "Hugo, you're really worthless now. This guy is just a weakling in the mid-Uppecia stage. You need my help to kill him. You and your brother, both so useless?"

Hugo's face darkened at the words, and he said in a low voice, "Don't underestimate him! Don't forget, he can withstand attacks from the early Core Formation stage."

"So what? Just enduring beatings is useless. I want to see how many he can withstand!"

The tall, thin youth sneered, looking at Lachlan with disdain.

"Good! Let's attack together and kill him!"

"Swift and decisive, to avoid attracting others!"

Hugo nodded and rushed forward with his sword.

"Okay!"

The tall, thin youth nodded and drew his own blade.

"Kill!"

Hugo shouted coldly and charged directly at Lachlan.

The tall, thin youth also revealed a cruel expression, filled with killing intent, and joined the attack.

Seeing this, Lachlan squinted his eyes, already assuming a defensive posture.

However, at this moment, Hugo's forward momentum suddenly stagnated, and he pushed the tall, thin youth to the front. Immediately after, a squelching sound followed, and the blade penetrated the tall, thin youth's back, coming out from his chest.

Hugo's long sword mercilessly stabbed into the tall, thin youth's heart. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jett, who was attacking Lachlan, froze in place, staring wide-eyed. In the next moment, he looked down at his own chest, his expression filled with shock, anger, and grief.

Struggling to turn his head, he looked at Hugo behind him, "H... Hugo, why... would you... kill me? Wh... why..."

Hugo's face was dark, his expression fierce.

"Hugo, is that what you called me?"

"Go to hell! Hahaha..."

Hugo said, and the long sword in his hand stirred a few times inside Jett's body, then ruthlessly pulled it out. With a kick, he kicked Jett's corpse far away.

Watching this scene, Lachlan wore a bewildered expression.

What's going on? Internal strife among Wood family members?
