Chapter 1498 Format Change For The Trial?

Tang Shaoyang entered the store and found someone else on the counter. A seventeen-year-old boy looked slightly younger than Lu An. He was sitting on the counter, reading a book with a brown cover.

The boy looked up as the sound of the door opening rang. He furrowed his brow, looking at Tang Shaoyang's shoulder.

Following the boy's gaze, he realized the wound from the void arrow had not healed yet. However, he barely felt any pain in it.

The boy came from the counter, approaching Tang Shaoyang. He then took a look at the wound with a frown, "You are infected by void energy." He then looked up as if he were a doctor giving a diagnosis, "Are you sure you don't want to get the cure?"

"It's healing up on its own. It was worse ten minutes ago. I should be fine in five or ten minutes," Tang Shaoyang checked the wound with his energy.

There was energy that tried to make the wound worse. He felt that when he concentrated on the wound. However, the void energy failed to achieve it. The Chaos Energy fought back, but that was the reason why he healed much slower than before.

"Where's Madaki? I have today's quota ready."

"Are you Sir Tang Shaoyang?" The boy asked once more instead of leading him to Madaki. However, he did not force Tang Shaoyang to use a potion for his wound.

"I am."

The boy turned around, motioning his hand to follow him. They went to the workshop where Madaki and ten other workers were finishing dismantling Calamity Mud Dragon and Calamity Mud Serpent.

There was a last pile for Calamity Mud Dragon. It seemed they left Calamity Mud Dragon for the last.

"I thought you were not going back tonight or maybe dead after trying to hunt at night." The burly man noticed Tang Shaoyang and joked.

"I think I'm almost dead," Tang Shaoyang was not joking, "I met a Rank 8 Calamity, something like a tiger but all black…" He told Madaki about the black tiger he met in the dark forest.

Madaki stopped whatever he was doing and looked up at Tang Shaoyang. He tried to see if Tang Shaoyang was joking or being serious, "Is that a joke right?"

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "Nope. I am not joking." He told Madaki about his encounter with the black tiger. How the tiger chose to go for the troll instead of him.

"Is that wound from that black tiger?" The boy stayed next to Tang Shaoyang, but could not help to interject after hearing that Tang Shaoyang escaped.

He looked at the boy, then he looked at Madaki. His face was asking who the boy was.

"He is my son." Madaki showed a big smile, "He is kinda weird with how obsessed he is with the calamity even though he is still Myth Rank." He shook his head with a sigh as he mentioned the last part.

"Hello," The boy suddenly became polite, saying hello and bowed his head slightly toward Tang Shaoyang, "My name is Derekh."

Madaki suddenly laughed, making Tang Shaoyang confused, but then he explained, "It seems like my boy acknowledges you, Tang. Maybe because you escape from Rank 8 Calamity, Void Tigris.

"I see…" Tang Shaoyang nodded, inside weirded that the boy was obsessed with calamity, "Ah, the wound is from The Doom Troll. I was quite careless and let a void arrow hit me. Void Tigris does not even look at me."

"I see…" The boy nodded his head, "That means The Void Tigris is wary of you." He looked at Tang Shaoyang, "Do you know Void Tigris' favorite meal?"

Tang Shaoyang was not interested in the boy at first, but then it looked like he was about to give him new information about a calamity, "Human?"

"That's right! If it did not feel how strong you are. It would choose you over those trolls. The Void Tigris might find you quite troublesome to fight, so it chose the Doom Trolls instead. Not because there are more Doom Trolls. It could chase the troll after killing you, but it did not try to hunt you."

Now Tang Shaoyang could see the admiration in Derekh's eyes.

"I also met a high-rank calamity, not far from the city…" He described the glowing snake.

"Did it attack you?" Derekh immediately asked, more excited than Tang Shaoyang expected. He responded with a shake.

"It's Calamity Blighted Serpent. While it has a beautiful appearance, its power is actually a curse. That one is quite nasty to fight. I don't recommend you to fight even if you are confident in killing a Unique Rank Calamity. While that serpent is Rank 9 Calamity, people still avoided it. It's better to one-shot kill it than take a prolonged fight against it."

The boy was quite serious with his advice.

Madaki furrowed his brow and asked in a concerned tone, "Did you see it near the city?"

"Not too close, but not too far either. If I fly at full speed. It will just take me ten to fifteen minutes. What's wrong?"

"It seems like you are quite unlucky to have nasty main Administrators. You are supposed to meet Rank 8 and Rank 9 Calamity far from the city, far further than the location you meet with the serpent even at night. However, it seems like the Administrator chose this dangerous location so they can hunt some Calamity too."

Madaki explained, shaking his head at how nasty the Administrators who worked in this trial were. For someone who had opened the shop more than ten times for the Trial of God. He even took one trial for himself, and the area near the city was supposed to be safe.

"It's quite dangerous this time. There's a chance that the calamity might attack the city. It's rare, but it can happen."

"What happens to the trial if the calamity attacks the city?"

"The participants will be forced to defend the city. The content of the trial might change. It may be changed into city defense but with the same format. Kill calamity to get the points. However, the city defense is usually more dangerous than the usual hunt. Because the high-ranking Calamity will join too."

Derekh was the one who explained. The boy was familiar with the rule of the Trial of God.

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, "One of my summons was killed, and it was killed in the forest outside the city. He died without being able to see what killed him."

The son and the father looked at him, anticipating what Tang Shaoyang would say next.

"While my summon might be weaker than most participants, he is supposed to be between Demi-God Rank and God Rank if I have to put a rank. He is quite strong, and yet, he died without being able to do anything."

Bam!

Madaki slammed the table where he dismantled the materials. He was visibly upset from his facial expression, "Those damned greedy Administrator! We really might get the city defense trial."

The burly man then looked at Tang Shaoyang, "The Calamity might attack the city. Get ready for the city defense test. In the city defense trial, the administrator will take care of the Rank 7 Calamity and above. Of course, they will get the materials as well. They might want the materials from the high-rank calamity. The easiest way to obtain it was to incur a city defense trial instead of going out to hunt them. Those lazy bastards!"

"Ah, the one that killed your summon. It might be a Unique Rank Calamity. You have to be careful if you want to hunt at night."

That was quite a lot of information for him to digest. He nodded, "I don't know what to prepare, but alright. I have some drops for you."

"Put them in the storage. I will get it done tonight."
