    Third day of the Trial.


    Ji Yuan and Heng Wujian had doubled back to the split passageways to look for Sun Dashu and Zhao Gao shortly after the Hunter Snow ck was killed.


    During this time, they had encountered three more battles with the dark raptors. But the numbers were no more than 3 and they easily finished off the dark raptors.


    It took them a while to find Sun Dashu and Zhao Gao again, which was like 14 hours after they had been separated.


    Unfortunately for them, they could only find their dead corpses.


    From their wounds, Ji Yuan and Heng Wujian could easily tell what had killed them; Sun Dashu was killed by a dark raptor and as for Zhao Gao, there were several spear marks on his body.


    It was obvious to them that Zhao Gao had been killed by the respawned Hunter Snow ck.


    Ji Yuan and Heng Wujian did not stay for too long and 10 hourster, they had found a deserted ce with two passage way to rest.


    This time round, Heng Wujian had no objections about finding a ce with split passageways to rest.


    In fact he said to Ji Yuan, "If Hunter Snow ck shows up again, you run first. I follow you."


    Ji Yuan merely grinned but said nothing.


    He knows that it was awkward to Heng Wujian''s face for him to run away first, especially when his divine consort and so many others were all viewing their battle imagery. And that was why he had said that to him.


    If the ''Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan'' run away first then he was merely following his lead.


    Ji Yuan was thick face anyway and he did not put much thought in running away when needed unless it was a martial duel that he had agreed upon.


    Against an unkible foe like the Hunter Snow ck, he had no grudges about fleeing away from her because his objective was in surviving this trial to the next trial and it was not about defeating her anyway.


    But then, he did kill her once already.


    He was capable of killing her but it would be too exhausting for him.


    Moreover, what if this Hunter Snow ck would revive to be a stronger opponent like in the cultivation stories?


    Then won''t he be screwed for testing the limits of this Hunter Snow ck?


    Also, he did not have unlimited profound strength to keep killing her too and he was cautious that the table would be turned against him once his moves be too familiar to this Hunter Snow ck.


    As Ji Yuan and Heng Wujian sat down with their exhausted bodies, Heng Wujian began to sigh heavily. "We are the only two survivors in this team now…"


    Then he quietly asked, "Do you think that it is possible for us to evade this Hunter Snow ck for the next 2 days?"


    Ji Yuan chuckled, "Nope. It is impossible."


    Heng Wujian frowned, "This ck pyramid is so huge. Finding us is not easy at all. Moreover, for the couple of hours, we have been making sure that our profound animus are invisible to the divine sense. No way that this Hunter Snow ck can track us down so easily."


    Ji Yuan grinned, "But you have forgotten two things…."


    "Huh?" Heng Wujian muttered a look of disbelief at Ji Yuan.


    "… One. The dark raptors that we have killed is giveaway clue to our general direction…"


    Heng Wujian snorted, "That is why we have been running away from ourst known location."


    "…Two." Ji Yuan grinned as though he was merely just a spectator. "We shouldn''t have attacked that Hunter Snow ck in the first ce. Because by doing so, we have left behind our profound signatures in her and she can use that to track us down. Hahaha…"


    Heng Wujian was shocked, "Why didn''t you warn us of this earlier?"


    Ji Yuan shrugged his shoulders before he stared with a grin at Heng Wujian, "I''ve just thought of this actually. Moreover, did the team all agree with the strategy of killing all oppositions in the first ce? Didn''t we say, if this Hunter Snow ck spawns 10 times then we shall kill this Hunter Snow ck 10 times?"


    "Or rather," he chuckled. "You are the one that said that."<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    Heng Wujian began to smile bitterly, "I did say that."


    This was awkward to Heng Wujian''s face especially when he was a great saint as well.


    He tried to defend himself by adding, "I didn''t know that this Hunter Snow ck is such a formidable opponent. That is why I got careless."


    Ji Yuan looked at him and grinned, "Do you think that Hunter Snow ck will be an easy opponent when she is only one while we have 4? Or you think that the trial is assuming that everyone is as weak as Sun Dashu or were at an even lower cultivation realm."


    Heng Wujian answered awkwardly, "No…"


    Ji Yuan was not out to embarrass Heng Wujian on purpose; it was because he was quite worried about the safety of Xiao Muhan who was even weaker than this Sun Dashu.


    Or even Spirit Consort Miao Humei who was only at the 6th Spirit Realm and even Saintess Yi Ling that were with his same team during the first trial.


    It was likely that they were goners now.


    Brother Xiao Muhan, I shall burn you more incense sticks in the future…


    But the truth was he was even more worried for his Senior Sister Chu Lixue the Smiling Divine Maiden, Shui Xisi, the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu and Zhi Jiugong who were also champions inside the trial.


    Maybe some of them may have even perished by now.


    This was the consequences of being a cultivator.


    Even for Ji Yuan, he could not stop them from trying to be stronger nor could he shelter them.


    Everyone has to take their life and death trials; the more trials that they had faced, the less chance that they would be killed by their own cultivation breakthroughs.


    Ji Yuan began to sigh woefully…


    He wondered if they may be thinking about the same too in this most difficult trial.

    In another ck pyramid.


    The Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu had just killed a dark raptor which exploded upon death but she was nimble enough to avoid the explosive acid that spewed everywhere.


    Just as her team which consisted of 3 other male champions were celebrating, she got a sudden shock when Hunter Snow ck had appeared right at the arch of the passage door and her long ck spear was almost pointing at her.


    The Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu had turned ashen immediately; it was because she had been too careless and today, she would be the first victim of this Hunter Snow ck as she saw the dark light of the ck spear began to move with great profound power.


    To her startled surprise, the death ray of the Hunter Snow ck was quickly upon one of the champions and he was swept aside by the profound energies that had just exploded on him.


    Then the Hunter Snow ck had simply shed past the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu to pursue the other two male champions.


    The Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu gasped, "I am saved?"


    It was as though she waspletely invisible!
