Immortal Hero: I Can See the Success Rate-Chapter 66 - Fire Wolf Pack

Chapter 66: Fire Wolf Pack

At the end of the passageway, the environment suddenly turned into grassland.

In the distance, a pack of fire wolves was roaming in the plain.

There were about thirty wolves in the pack, and each one of them had the cultivation level of an early-stage golden core cultivator.

When the environment stabilized, the alpha wolf howled, and the pack of wolves charged towards Lin An and the other cultivators with their long flaming tails.

If Lin An had entered the passageway alone, it would have been very difficult for him to deal with the thirty fire wolves.

However, with nine peak golden core cultivators beside him, the pack of wolves was not as intimidating.

Lin An immediately pulled out the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword, and in the battle with the pack of wolves, he only killed two fire wolves. The other cultivators had swiftly killed the rest of the wolves.

After the fire wolves had been killed, they turned into illusions and disappeared. This made Lin An’s idea of using his black flames to devour the fire wolves’ corpses come to naught.

Fortunately, the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword had extracted the advanced life energy from the wolves.

One-tenth of the transparent white crystal in the middle of the blade was dyed red. If the white crystal eventually turned red, it could advance to the middle stage of the foundation establishment stage.

After killing all the fire wolves, a box appeared out of thin air in front of the cultivators.

Lin An went forward to open it and found that it only contained a pair of human-rank magic treasure boots.

Since the reward was very ordinary, the cultivators were not interested in fighting over it.

In the end, they held a friendly contest over the ownership of the magic treasure boots.

[The probability of winning with scissors is 80%.]

[The probability of winning with stones is 85%.]

[The probability of winning with scissors is 90%.]

…

Although Lin An did not really want to cheat in the friendly contest, the success rate system’s notification always popped up at the right time, so Lin An subconsciously followed them.

In the end, Lin An won the magic treasure boots after he went undefeated in nine consecutive rounds of rock paper scissors.

After he won the boots, Lin An realized that there were subtle changes in how everyone looked at him, especially Saint Zi Yan.

Was her killing intent decreasing?

Since the cultivators had passed the first stage, five more paths appeared in front of them.

Everyone consciously looked at Lin An, and he even saw an urge in Saint Zi Yan’s eyes for him to choose a path.

Lin An tilted his head and joked, “Saint Zi Yan, are you tired again? Why haven’t you chosen your path yet?”

Saint Zi Yan was especially shameless. However, there was no need for her to pretend anymore. She crossed her arms and threw her head to the side and ignored Lin An.

Lin An couldn’t do anything about her at that moment, so he could only continue with the journey.

The virtual screen promptly popped up in front of his eyes and marked each path:

[The success rate of passing through channel one is 0%, and the success rate of acquiring a treasure is 0%.]

[The success rate of passing through channel two is 0%, and the success rate of acquiring a treasure is 0%.]

[The success rate of passing through channel three is 0%, and the success rate of acquiring a treasure is 0%.]

[The success rate of passing through channel four is 70%, and the success rate of acquiring a treasure is 50%.]

[The success rate of clearing the fifth channel is 50%, and the success rate of obtaining a magical treasure is 70%.]

Out of the five channels, there were two promising pathways.

The success rate of the fourth channel was 70%, and the success rate of the fifth channel was 50%. This meant that the difficulty of clearing the fourth channel was lower than that of the fifth channel.

‘Which channel should I choose? Should I choose the fourth channel to pass the level more safely?’

Lin An glanced at Saint Zi Yan and the other purple-clothed disciples and smirked.

Since they were currently depending on him, they didn’t seem to have any intention to harm him.

However, Lin An would pass the test eventually, and he would have to leave the mystic realm.

Although he could feel that Saint Zi Yan’s hostility towards him had decreased, Lin An had still killed Li Kuang.

There was a life and death feud between him and the Purple Clouds Ancient Sect. If he left the mystic realm and returned to the Jiuxiao Sect without settling the feud, he would inevitably bring destruction to his own sect.

Lin An could not afford to have too much of a good an illusion about his enemies.

He had to assume the worst of his enemies, and he could not ignore the potential threat that Saint Zi Yan and the other purple-clothed disciples posed to him.

After some deep thought, Lin An decided to use the illusionary realm to get rid of the purple-clothed disciples!

He would choose the fifth passage that was even harder to pass.

Instantly, he lifted his feet and walked towards the fifth passage.

Saint Zi Yan looked at Lin An and suddenly felt a sense of unease, and she considered whether she would have to choose her own path.

However, on second thought, Saint Zi Yan reasoned that Lin An didn’t have the strength to harm her. He definitely wouldn’t choose a dead-end path because he couldn’t afford to face her in battle.

Saint Zi Yan wasn’t afraid of an early-stage golden core cultivator. She was a peak-stage golden core cultivator who had fallen from the nascent soul stage, and she definitely had more combat experience than Lin An.

After her deliberation, she led her team and followed in Lin An’s footsteps.

The setting in the tunnel was the same as the previous passageway. As the cultivators continued to advance, the scene kept changing,

However, Lin An immediately discovered something different about the second tunnel.

When he spun around, he discovered that there wasn’t a single cultivator following behind him.

How was this possible?

Lin An had seen Saint Zi Yan and the other cultivators follow him into the tunnel, and he was immediately puzzled.

Could it be that the passage had diverted the other cultivators?

In the process of advancing, everyone had been channeled into different small spaces.

Lin An’s mind spun as he walked through the passage.

At the end of the passage, there were pools of lava everywhere. The weather was gray, and it seemed as if Lin An had encountered a smoggy blue planet.

He walked forward and noticed that there were no living things around him, so he couldn’t figure out the format of the impending test.

It wasn’t until he had wandered around the wilderness for nearly half an hour that Lin An realized that the strange place seemed to be a chess game.

There was an equal distance between each lava pond, and it seemed that the ponds uniformly formed a chessboard.

Beside every lava pond, there was a big rock. After Lin An accidentally kicked one of the big rocks into a lava pond, the pond suddenly dried up, and the success rates of all the other rocks instantly appeared.

Therefore, Lin An finally understood,

He was in a terrestrial chess game.

The ponds were all crisscrossed in equal distance to form a chessboard.

Once a rock was pushed into a lava pond, it amounted to a black chess move, and if the pond dried up, it meant that it was a white chess move.

Since Lin An had pushed the nearby rock into the pond, the game had already begun.

The challenger in the terrestrial chess game always had a slight advantage, but the level was still difficult to overcome.

This was because the chessboard was too big, and the distance between each pond was ten meters, which made it impossible for the challenger to carefully observe the overall perspective of the game.

Therefore, the challenger seemed to play a game of blind chess.

In order to prevent the challenger from observing all the moves, the terrestrial chessboard was filled with smog.

In this way, even if a challenger could fly, they wouldn’t be able to observe the movements of the game from the sky.

Additionally, the smog was also poisonous. Not only could it prevent a challenger from thinking carefully, but it could also cause them to face the threat of slow death.

Therefore, the challenger would have an anxious feeling in their heart, which would further hinder them from playing normally.
