Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Liang Houyun Senses the Disparities of the World

[Task: Adventurer who has survived poison and cleansed both body and mind with pure water, please offer a Little White Flower at the Nameless Tomb in the maze, and you will receive your deserved reward.]

Looking at this task prompt, Lin Ye couldn’t help but feel a bit silent.

The entire sequence before this has to be a hundred percent accurate to reach this point and trigger the task.

If you haven’t experienced the poisonous gas or cleansed with the pond water before picking the flower, even if you have the Little White Flower, the task cannot be triggered.

What Lin Ye went through before was basically akin to the prerequisite tasks needed to trigger this flower-offering task.

Only by completing all of them can this task be successfully triggered.

Moreover, the passageways of this maze change every time, with a different path waiting for you each time you enter.

In such a case, triggering this task without special means is as difficult as climbing to heaven!

The probability, well, only those who try will know.

Otherwise, no one would have been able to conquer this maze for so many years.

“Damn… a task! You’ve actually triggered the task!”

Next to him, Liang Houyun clearly saw the task information appear and couldn’t help widening his eyes, extremely surprised!

Even though he was willing to follow Lin Ye inside, somewhat believing that Lin Ye might actually have a way to conquer the maze,

he was still a bit shocked now that he actually saw Lin Ye trigger the task.

On this journey, no one understood what they went through better than Lin Ye, except for Liang Houyun.

He could only say that if it weren’t for following Lin Ye, he might have tried until his death without managing to trigger the task.

Yet Lin Ye succeeded in one go!

This truly made Liang Houyun feel the disparity in this world.

“I’ll go wash too!”

Liang Houyun was a bit excited and also wanted to learn from Lin Ye by washing away the poison gas on his body before picking the flower.

However, Lin Ye stopped him.

“Don’t! Keep this poison gas, what if it’s useful later?”

Even if it wasn’t useful, having the stinky smell might draw the monsters’ aggression… Lin Ye thought.

Upon hearing this, Liang Houyun immediately stopped, nodding in full agreement: “Makes sense, let’s do it your way!”

Liang Houyun actually had no bad intentions; in short, he was just a brawny guy with a somewhat simple mind…

As for Lin Ye, he looked at the Little White Flower in his hand and said, “Moreover, this flower is very precious…”

[Little White Flower: A fragile little flower that cannot be stored in a Spatial Bag, only a pure person can keep it, and while holding this flower, no large movements should be made]

At this time, having another person by his side was advantageous.

If it were just Lin Ye, taking on this task would indeed be difficult.

After all, there would still be combat scenarios coming up.

Clearly, holding this Little White Flower, one cannot freely engage in battles; otherwise, the flower would wither in an instant.

This kind of task is somewhat torturing.

In dangerous situations, temporarily laying down the flower is probably not allowed either.

After all, the flower can only be kept by someone ’pure’.

The so-called ’pure person’ is evidently someone who has washed in that pond water.

In short, if Lin Ye hadn’t brought Liang Houyun with him, conquering this maze would indeed be quite difficult.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Ye, holding the Little White Flower, proceeded forward.

Liang Houyun followed closely behind without any slacking.

…

Time flew by, and about two days had passed since Lin Ye and Liang Houyun entered the maze.

Meanwhile, the Alliance Army’s stronghold had repelled the Abyssal Demons’ attack for the third time.

But the military had paid a heavy price, with many warriors sacrificing their lives in this battle.

As for the injured, they were countless.

It seemed that the Abyss Demon God was aware of the importance of this area to humans, so the attacks were particularly fierce.

Yet the military had long prepared for a long-term defense here.

Such intense attacks couldn’t last forever, at most three months.

Thus, as long as they endured this period, the stronghold would be secure.

Most crucially, given the selfish and short-sighted nature of the Abyss Demon Gods, once they saw the Alliance’s forces holding the stronghold at all costs, they might give up the attack in less than a month.

After all, deploying any power in the human world would deplete their origin power.

For the Demon Gods, origin power is extremely important.

They wouldn’t waste it lightly and would conserve as much as possible.

Instead of spending their origin power on an unending war, it’d be better to save it.

Of course, short-term human perseverance wouldn’t be enough to show their determination to the Demon Gods.

At least a month of arduous fighting would be needed to shake the demons’ resolve.

However…

Humans had another hope.

Within the stronghold, medical staff worked tirelessly, around the clock, treating the wounded.

This scene was distressing for many commanders.

Each soldier carried the ambition of driving out demons and reclaiming lost ground when they came, but under brutal battles, a large part might face retirement.

They could not only be unable to return to the battlefield but might even struggle to continue as Professionals in human society.

“If only Lin Ye were here now…”

A young officer sighed.

Even without using the Holy Healing Technique, Lin Ye’s mere use of the Holy Light Feather would quickly restore the soldiers.

This would greatly reduce the medical team’s pressure and massively boost troop morale!

No doubt, Lin Ye’s arrival two days ago had boosted morale, surprising the returning demons.

But as two days passed, morale waned with the continuation of battle.

“I don’t want to hear such words again. Lin Ye is just fighting on another battlefield. If he succeeds, future casualties will be greatly reduced!”

Yan Xun interjected.

The young officer lowered his head, feeling ashamed.

Indeed, his earlier words were short-sighted and narrow-minded.

If Lin Ye could conquer that maze, it would be undoubted that the Abyss Demon Gods would immediately cease attacking this stronghold.

We wouldn’t even need to look far, just a few days ahead.

However, two days have passed without any news…

It is truly worrisome.
