âWho are you?â The blonde man in the lead asked, his face full of vigilance.
âBefore asking others, shouldnât you tell us your name first? This is the most basic social etiquette, isnât it?âJerry answered with a smile.
âI am the Lord of the Imperial Emblem Dynasty, Alex Jastano.â Seeing that Jerry and the others did not show any hostility, the blonde manâs attitude also slowed down.
âJerry Edward, the Sky Dynasty!â Jerry was not that unreasonable. It was obvious that the other party had not changed his identity from the owner of the fragment in the Empire Era.
Who could not be the lord of the dynasty!
But so what? Whether it was in the Empire Era or in this trial ground, strength was respected.
Whoever was stronger would have the final say.
Hence, the title of Lord of the Dynasty had no influence here.
Alex heaved a sigh of relief. Since they chose to stay at the entrance of the maze instead of going deeper, it was naturally because they knew that they were not strong enough. They did not have the confidence to pass through this complex and dangerous maze jungle.
Now, the appearance of Jerry and the others had indeed given him a big fright. However, now that he had calmed down and observed carefully, Alex realized that Jerry and the others were actually much weaker than them.
Other than Jerry, who was the leader, the two women behind Jerry had only just reached the level of a tier 2 King of the Gods, and even Jerry was only at the peak of a tier 2 King just like him.
He naturally thought that Jerry and the others were also like them, having come to the maze to train and were just looking for a place.
âIn fact, the spiritual energy in the outer area of the maze is not very different. If you want to choose a place to train, that is a good,â Alex said while pointing to the other side.
âArenât you going to continue moving forward?â Alice looked puzzled. Didnât they say that there would be a lot of rewards in the maze?
Why were these people staying at the outer area of the maze in peace.
Hearing this, Alex and the others looked embarrassed, but that expression soon disappeared as if they had accepted their fate.
He used to be the Lord of a Holy Dynasty. He was high-spirited and arrogant. When he first entered the trial field, all of this was nothing. However, when he entered the maze, he only knew how terrifying the maze was.
Back then, he had brought his trusted aides and barged straight into the maze. In the end, he was the only one left. The others were all killed by this terrifying and strange maze.
One had to know that this was only the first level of the endless tower. If it was the next few levels, how terrifying would it be.
That was why they were willing to stay here and train. Sometimes, living was more important than anything else.
âWhat did you say? ?â Although Alex did not care, Aliceâs words were undoubtedly mocking him.
This made the followers of Alex furious.
âThis is the truth.â Alex reached out his hand to stop the followers behind him and said with a bitter expression, âThis maze is much more terrifying than you think. I advise you to find a random place to cultivate at the entrance of the maze like us.â
âOtherwise, Iâm afraid you wonât be able to come out alive!â When he thought of what happened back then, Alex felt a deep fear.
That fear was deeply engraved in the depths of his soul and became his nightmare.
âThank you for your kind intentions, but we do want to look inside.âJerry smiled and rejected their suggestion. Everyone had their own aspirations and could not be compelled to act.
This was also their choice. To enter the depths of the maze without strength was not called bravery, but stupidity.
Looking at the backs of Jerry and the other two leaving, Alex sighed helplessly. He had seen many such people.
As the leader of a Holy Dynasty, everyone had their own pride and glory. It was impossible to say that he would stop with just a few words of advice.
Only after witnessing that kind of hell did they know that there was always someone better than them.
âLook at them, all relaxed, they will definitely die miserably in the end.âThe one who spoke was one of the followers who just defended their leader.
âThat has nothing to do with us. Letâs train hard. After we become stronger, we can go deeper into it. Moreover, everyone has their own fate. Who knows, they might be able to walk out!â
Saying this, Alex shook his head subconsciously. It was obvious that even he did not believe what he said.
After saying that, the few of them sat quietly on the spot and began to meditate and train.
Everything here slowly fell into silence again.
âWhatâs the use of leaving those few people at the exit? Isnât this a pure waste of time?â Alice had a disdainful look on her face. She was a fragment of the will from the Empire era, so naturally, she hoped that these trial-takers from the Empire Era would be able to actively participate in this trial.
Instead of watching them passively hide there, holding on to dear life.
âDonât say that. Everyone has a choice. Although living in the city is safer and has more spiritual energy, the daily expenses arenât small. Thereâs basically no expenses here, and you can stay as long as you want,âAthena replied with a smile.
As the manager of the Sky Dynasty, Athena was obviously more considerate. After saying that, she looked at Jerry with some worry. After all, those people just now were not weak.
Even so, they were still completely wiped out. Especially Alex, the leader of the dynasty. The fear in his eyes could not be faked.
There must be a great terror in this forest. It did not matter whether he lived or died, but if his majesty met with any danger here because of him,
Then he would become the biggest sinner of the Sky Dynasty.
âYour Majesty?â
âWhatâs wrong?â Jerry was a little confused.
âI think itâs not as peaceful as we look, and thereâs great danger inside.â
âIsnât that obvious? Of course thereâs a great danger. Otherwise, those people wouldnât be so scared that they wouldnât dare to go deeper,âJerry said matter-of-factly.
âNo, I think we have too few people. Should we call the others over?â
âThereâs no need. Itâs useless for them to come now. This place isnât better with more people. On the contrary, the more people there are, the more dangerous it is.â Jerry said with a serious face.
According to the description in the Eternal Flower Register, the danger in this dense forest wasnât like the last time in the underground mausoleum. It was even more strange.
âThe dangers here are even more bizarre than the ones in the tomb last time. Maybe thereâs something wrong with the surrounding trees, and if Iâm not careful, Iâll be tied up by these trees and killed,â Jerry said as he looked at the towering trees around him.
