Chapter 249 -249: Great Responsibility

Shi Hao’s gaze met the little pig’s, neither servile nor overbearing.

“Young man, are you ready to take on a great responsibility?” the little pig asked, with a serious face.

Uh, why did being asked by a pig make Shi Hao always feel like laughing?

“If you want to laugh, just laugh,” Knight Sanye encouraged from the side.

“It’s fine, at worst we’ll be flung away,” the Jade Horse also said, “You see, we’re not in trouble at all!”

Shi Hao had no strength to retort. Damn you, you’re all from the same Ganoderma Spirit!

And also, not in trouble at all, look at you, with green blood seeping from your bodies, why are you still cheerfully on the path to death?

Wait, isn’t this green blood the essence of Ganoderma Spirit?

It’s a big tonic.

Immediately, Shi Hao’s eyes lit up, and his entire being seemed to radiate.

The little pig was dumbfounded. Under its oppressive aura, Shi Hao was still able to shift his gaze to think about something else, simply unbelievable.

It felt its whole world view was being destroyed. What kind of contestant was this?

“Cough cough!” It reminded Shi Hao.

Only then did Shi Hao return his gaze, thinking since he had come here, he must take back some essence of Ganoderma Spirit anyway.

“What great responsibility?” He looked at the little pig.

Huh?

He discovered that this pig was truly extraordinary because it not only had red skin but also its skin was covered with scales, like battle armor, protecting its body.

Also, there were little protrusions next to its ears, looking somewhat like horns.

Shi Hao flipped through his memories but couldn’t find any corresponding ferocious beast.

Strange, what breed is this?

The little pig was even more astonished. Shi Hao wasn’t the first person to enter here, but he was the first to hear this and ask back what the “responsibility” was, instead of agreeing immediately.

You should know, agreeing without even asking, that’s either perfunctory or too self-confident. What if you were asked to assassinate an Almighty of the Sky Ladder, could you do it? Would you dare?

It’s a joke.

So, Shi Hao not agreeing immediately but asking instead was the correct reaction.

Others who came here would surely try their best to flatter it, obviously it looked like a Divine Beast guarding the Secret Treasure, thinking that if they pleased it, it would produce the Secret Treasure.

“This task is very arduous,” said the little pig seriously, feeling confident for the first time.

So many years had passed, could it finally be about to meet someone who might succeed?

Indeed, time was running out.

Shi Hao smiled, “Let’s hear it, I’ll act according to my capabilities.”

The little pig stretched out a hoof and pointed at Shi Hao in the air.

Hum!

Shi Hao immediately felt darkness before his eyes and passed out.

When he awoke, he found himself in a wilderness.

Huh, there’s an additional memory.

In his mind now was the location of a treasure filled with Nine Stars level items, waiting for him to unlock.

Was this given to him by that pig?

Had he been sent out?

Shi Hao got up and tried to discern his direction to confirm his current location.

However, this place was too desolate, without a tree in sight, how could he use this to judge his position?

The sky… was also overcast, with no sun visible, so, east, west, north, south were also indistinguishable.

Clop clop clop, just at that moment, he heard the sound of horse hooves, rapidly approaching his direction.

Quickly, nine tall horses appeared, each with a black horn on its forehead, emitting a bloodthirsty and ferocious aura.

Forming the shape of the character ‘品’, they charged like the wind, quickly arriving in front of Shi Hao.

“It’s him!”

“Take him down!”

The nine knights on horseback swiftly dismounted and charged toward Shi Hao.

Shi Hao quickly counterattacked, but the knights were astonishingly strong, and his resistance was as futile as a mayfly shaking a large tree.

He was captured.

“Hand over the heritage, and you may be spared from death,” a knight shouted at Shi Hao.

In an instant, Shi Hao’s thoughts raced.

How long had he been unconscious?

As the lead runner, anyone who saw him would surely suspect that he had received the heritage of a powerful figure, but these nine people were completely unfamiliar to him.

So, how much time had passed that even outsiders knew about it?

“Won’t talk?” The knight sneered, “Under my God Extinguishing Spell, I don’t believe you can withstand it!”

The knight pointed a finger at Shi Hao’s forehead, and immediately, an indescribable agony exploded in Shi Hao’s mind, causing him to break out in cold sweat and want to scream out loud, yet he could make no sound.

“Speak out the location of the Secret Treasure, and you won’t have to suffer like this!” the knight said coldly.

“Give up your pointless resistance, no one is coming to save you!”

“We can keep this game going, time is on our side.”

Such a reality could drive anyone to despair.

Yet Shi Hao was plotting, not brought down by the predicament before him.

All of this had happened too quickly.

When had the pig given him the treasure location?

At the same time he lost consciousness?

Hadn’t the other party mentioned there was an important task for him?

Where was the task?

Now, he had mysteriously appeared here, and just as mysteriously, nine knights had captured him as he had just come to, pressing him for the location of the Secret Treasure.

This was all very strange, and too much of a coincidence.

He already had a suspicion in his mind, and he quietly released his Soul Force, activating the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture.

No reaction.

As expected, this was a test from the pig, and he was in an exceedingly realistic illusionary realm. If he couldn’t endure the torture and revealed the location of the “treasure,” then he would naturally have failed.

Shi Hao didn’t speak, merely gritting his teeth and bearing it.

This was an illusionary realm, but the pain was incredibly real, enough to break even those with iron wills.

One could say, many would surrender to such appalling torture, even knowing it was false.

Nevertheless, Shi Hao saw it as a test, pondering what if one day he truly fell into the enemy’s hands and was tortured in this manner?

He had to stay calm, and then figure out how to escape.

One day, two days, three days… as the knights had said, they had plenty of time and were in no hurry, content to simply watch Shi Hao suffer.

“What a tough nut,” one of the knights muttered on the fifth day, “Seems like we need to step it up a notch!”

He pointed his finger at Shi Hao again.

“Ah!” Shi Hao couldn’t help but roar in pain, it was too painful!

“You lunatics, I have no idea about any Secret Treasure, you’ve got the wrong person!”

“Let me go this instant!”

“Behind me stands an Almighty who built the Sky Ladder, don’t you believe that he could slaughter you all?”

He purposely made a threat.

The nine knights all sneered coldly, completely unmoved, and continued subjecting Shi Hao to harsh torture.

“Ah!” Even with Shi Hao’s resilience, he couldn’t help but scream miserably as his body convulsed uncontrollably like a fish out of water.

“Admit it, and you can be free!” the knights said with seductive voices.

“Go to hell!” Shi Hao cursed.
