Strongest Soldier

The stone tablet was written in Luo Manwen, so Lee Hongtian had to translate the contents to Wang Yue.    

    

Even though the date was clearly stated, both of them still did not know how much time had passed since they entered the formation. However, since they were still alive, they should still be in the three days of the trial.    

    

"What do we do now? Do you want to continue exploring here or chase after them? " Wang Yue looked at Lee Hongtian and asked.    

    

Right now, they weren't sure how much time was left until the smelting trial ended. If they continued to explore this place, then if they encountered another array that was stuck here, they would die after three days.    

    

Lee Hongtian also hesitated. He had already experienced the power of formations before, and what the host said earlier was definitely not empty words. If time passed and the opponent really started the killing array, he was not confident that he could survive.    

    

But the shrine was right in front of them. If they didn't go in and take a look, they would feel a sense of unwillingness.    

    

However, after thinking for a while, Lee Hongtian said: "Let's catch up to them first. At least let's determine how much time we have left."    

    

After Lee Hongtian's side had only gone in for half a day, Wang Yue said that a month had passed and the monuments outside showed that they had gone in for at least a day and a night. By the third level, the two of them were really at a loss.    

    

Wang Yue also agreed to Lee Hongtian's suggestion, nodded and said, "Let's go, although there might be some heaven defying treasures in the temple, we still need to be alive to take them. This place is too magical, it's not wrong to be careful."    

    

After the two of them made their decision, they immediately left the range of the formation and came to the center of the Floating Island. There was also a stone tablet here, the kind that had a map carved on it.    

    

When they were on the first island, the crowd had already decided on the way to the palace. So now, Lee Hongtian and Wang Yue had already confirmed the way to Abe Qingchuan's group. Now, all they needed to do was follow their footsteps.    

    

After confirming, the two of them started moving at full speed towards the other island. However, because Wang Yue had used up a lot of energy previously, he couldn't really move at his fastest speed.    

    

The two of them continued their chase and passed three islands in a row. They didn't find Abe Qingchuan and the others, but their direction was always the right one. That was because Abe Qingchuan left a message for Lee Hongtian on each island.    

    

On the fifth island …    

    

"No no no, I'm not going to chase them anymore. Stop for a moment." Wang Yue waved his hand and said as soon as he got on the island.    

    

"What's wrong?" Lee Hongtian was confused.    

    

Wang Yue found a place to sit down and panted, "I'm tired."    

    

Lee Hongtian: "..."    

    

However, he didn't say anything. Wang Yue being able to last until now was already out of his expectations. Now that Wang Yue couldn't move anymore, Lee Hongtian would not abandon him. He could only stop and rest on the spot.    

    

"It looks like the sky is about to turn dark. Since we are still alive, there should still be a day left." Lee Hongtian said.    

    

Wang Yue said, "It should be, but this group of people can really leave. We've been chasing them for a long time, but we haven't seen any of them. This is the fifth island right? Did they not search the island again?"    

    

"Perhaps someone already came here so they quickly headed towards the next island. There are still five or six islands before the final palace. If we don't use all of our power to go there, we might not be able to make it within the allotted time."    

    

"Forget it. Since we still have one more day, let's rest here for the night. The rest of the journey won't be easy." Wang Yue said.    

    

In the beginning, there were many routes they could take, so the chances of encountering humans was still very small. But now, there were only a dozen islands left, and there were only two or three that led to the final palace. According to their original route, there were at least three routes that overlapped each other on the last three islands.    

    

Especially for the last island, only this island had access to the palace. If all squads arrived at the palace at the same time, it was very possible that everyone could gather on this island.    

    

And now, in such a tense situation, the chances of the two teams fighting each other were quite high. If everyone gathered on the island, no one knew what would happen.    

    

Lee Hongtian also understood why Wang Yue was resting here. This guy was using the night's worth of time to recover his physical strength and zhenqi in preparation for the upcoming battle.    

    

While they were talking, Wang Yue had already sat cross-legged and entered a state of meditation.    

    

Lee Hongtian glanced at him and started to walk not far away. Finally, he found a water source on the island and hunted a rabbit. The two of them roasted the rabbit to replenish their energy.    

    

The night passed in silence.    

    

When they got up the next day, Wang Yue had pretty much recovered, so the two continued on their way.    

    

They passed another island and found that there were traces of a fire on the island. It seemed that someone was sleeping here at night, and it was highly likely that it was Abe Qingchuan's group.    

    

"After another island, we might be able to reunite with them." Wang Yue squinted his eyes and said.    

    

Lee Hongtian said, "Alright, then let's hurry up."    

    

As they spoke, the two of them sped up again. After a night of recovery, Wang Yue's speed was much faster than yesterday. Soon, they arrived at the next island.    

    

As soon as he landed, he heard the sounds of fighting coming from the front.    

    

The two of them looked at each other, then they sped up again and went into hiding.    

    

They were not going to show their faces until they knew what was going on.    

    

Soon, the two of them arrived at the place where the fight was taking place. It was a clearing in the forest. In the middle of the clearing, there was a stone door. There was nothing in front of the door so it seemed very lonely.    

    

And this battle was being fought around the stone door.    

    

There were a total of eight people fighting, including Lee Hongtian and Wang Yue's old friend — Shen Ruhai.    

    

At this moment, Shen Ruhai was besieged by a group of people shrouded in black robes. From Shen Ruhai's appearance, it seemed that he was guarding the stone door.    

    

As for this group of Man in Black, they were the same group of Western Magi who had entered the trial in the first group. Originally, there were nine of them, but now, there were only seven people left.    

    

"Do you need help?" Wang Yue frowned.    

    

"Let's keep watching." Lee Hongtian said in a deep voice.    

    

It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but he didn't understand why Shen Ruhai didn't want to leave even if he had his all because the stone door looked so ordinary.
