Chapter 1692 The real purpose of the trial of fate
Just as Tang Zhen and the two men were heading towards the edge of the battlefield, the tester who had just gathered with Tietou unexpectedly followed them.
The dozen or so trialists looked a bit embarrassed. When they cooperated to resist the enemy, Tietou was still the main output force, which showed that their strength was nothing more than this.
After having their strength sealed, not all trialists can perform freely. Due to their own experiences, it is common for them to have high ambitions but low intentions.
Tang Zhen glanced back and didn't pay much attention. He just waved his spear and kept clearing the way.
"Brother, why did you leave? Did you find something?"
A trialist rushed to Tang Zhen's side and asked him loudly, seemingly puzzled by Tang Zhen's behavior.
"I don't know, I just feel something is wrong, so I'm going to evacuate first.
The number of enemies is increasing, if we continue to waste it, we will all die here!"
Tang Zhen picked off an enemy and looked at the enemy reinforcements rolling in from the distance, frowning tightly.
Now he is more and more certain that he will definitely die if he stays on the battlefield. The more testers kill, the more reinforcements the enemy will send.
Since arriving on the battlefield, I haven't received any prompts yet. Instead, I have been killing more and more enemies, and my strength has not improved at all.
In this case, why hesitate if you don't run, waiting to be stabbed into a hornet's nest by random gunfire?
When the tester heard Tang Zhen's answer, he frowned slightly and showed hesitation.
Although Tang Zhen did not explain the specific reasons, he also knew that this was not the time to go into details.
In fact, it wasn't just Tang Zhen who felt something was wrong, other testers were also aware of it, but they couldn't be sure.
The enemy's will was too firm, and the subjects were killed with corpses all over the ground. However, their morale did not weaken at all, but became more and more fierce.
The number of reinforcements was even more frightening, as if there was an endless stream of floods pouring into low-lying areas.
When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Now that they saw Tang Zhen wanting to retreat, they felt something was wrong and didn't want to persist any longer.
While these trialists were hesitating, Tang Zhen and Tietou had already rushed out to the edge of the battlefield, then controlled their horses and ran towards the depths of the grassland.
The enemy also rushed out with dozens of cavalry and chased them closely, as if they were determined to kill them all.
Dozens of riders were galloping on the grassland, getting further and further away from the battlefield, and the pressure on their bodies also eased slightly.
Tang Zhen and the others ignored the pursuers behind them. As long as they left the battlefield, it was no problem to kill these enemies.
Perhaps due to excessive fatigue, the speed of the horses the two of them rode became slower and slower. After running no more than a few thousand meters, they were already sweating profusely and refused to move forward any further.
"That's it, kill them!"
Tang Zhen picked up the spear in his hand, jumped off his horse, and rushed towards the pursuers.
Although infantry did not have an advantage over cavalry, it still depended on the situation. Tang Zhen did not take these enemies seriously at all.
The same goes for Tietou, holding a horse-cutting knife full of gaps, grinning fiercely and swiping it fiercely, cutting the oncoming horses and cavalry into two pieces.
The cavalry attacked together. Although they knew that the testers were extremely ferocious, they were confident that they could kill Tang Zhen and the other two due to their large numbers.
Unexpectedly, the ensuing battle was a one-sided massacre. Dozens of cavalry cooperated with each other, but no one was a match for Tang Zhen and the two of them.
After killing the last cavalryman, Tang Zhen and the others gathered their supplies and continued running towards the distance.
After running for nearly thirty miles this time, until they were completely away from the battlefield, Tang Zhen suddenly heard a reminder in his ears.
"The third level begins. Trialists please go to the imperial city and assassinate the emperor. Those who succeed will be qualified to compete for the Son of Destiny."
After hearing the prompt, Tang Zhen sneered, and that was indeed what he was thinking.
If they continue to fight on the battlefield, they may not receive the reminder until they die, and they will lose the qualification to continue participating in the trial.
This is a trap. If you always follow the prompts, the final outcome can be imagined.
It seems that the trial of the Wheel of Fortune is not only a test of force value, but also the ability to adapt to changes. Unfortunately, Tang Zhen did not realize this from the beginning and wasted a lot of time.
However, after learning this lesson, Tang Zhen will definitely think more about it when he encounters trouble, so as not to fall into the trap of the wheel of fate again.
After knowing the next step of the mission, the two of them naturally went straight to the imperial city, but when they did, they had to change their clothes to avoid being interrogated by interested people.
After choosing a dense forest on the roadside and throwing away all the conspicuous things on their bodies, the two of them took their personal weapons and embarked on the road to the imperial city.
Tang Zhen and the others lost not only their weapons and armor, but also their war horses, which they could no longer ride and could only travel on foot.
Because there are marks left by the branding iron on the horse's buttocks, the flaws can be seen at a glance and reveal their identity.
If nothing else happens, the tester will now be the enemy of everyone in the world, and it will be even more difficult to move forward after his identity is exposed.
On the way to the imperial capital, Tang Zhen kept thinking about what the real purpose of this trial of fate was, was it simply to kill the emperor?
If that's the case, why go to all the trouble and just throw the tester to the destination?
With hundreds of thousands of trialists participating, even an iron wall can be demolished!
Judging from the situation in the first two levels, the role played by the trialists should be that of a rebel. Otherwise, there would be no requirement to attack the city and assassinate the emperor.
The rebels rose up, presumably to seize the throne and then control the entire world.
The mission of the Son of Destiny is also to control the world. Of course, this kind of control is real control, which can make the world's will surrender and then be controlled by the wheel of destiny.
After the control is completed, the people in power in this world will be puppets of the wheel of fate, and no descendants will be able to escape.
So does Wheel of Fortune intend to use this mortal world to test the adaptability of the trialists to see if anyone can learn their true purpose through the content of the mission?
Princes, generals, and prime ministers have nothing to do with anything. Everything depends on human efforts. As long as you control the world, it seems to be no different from assassinating the emperor.
Although this inference is somewhat arbitrary, judging from the way Wheel of Fortune calculates testers, this possibility is not impossible.
Tang Zhen can be sure that the road to the Imperial Capital must be full of risks, and there are many experts in the Imperial Capital, all waiting for the testers to fall into the trap.
As for the forbidden area in the deep palace where the emperor is located, it is a key area of defense. No matter how many trialists go there, they will probably be trapped in it.
With his cultivation level sealed, it was difficult for Tang Zhen to escape unscathed from more than a hundred martial arts masters. There was really no need to take a trip into this muddy water.
"Tietou, what do you think of the mission of Wheel of Fortune?"
Tang Zhen looked at Tietou beside him and asked in a low voice.
"Hey, you're asking me in vain. I've never used my brain before."
Tietou touched his head and smiled at Tang Zhenhan.
"I have an idea. Instead of going to the imperial city to assassinate the emperor, I will do something else. Are you willing to follow me?"
Tietou was stunned for a moment, wondering why Tang Zhen didn't follow the task requirements.
"I will go wherever you go. My family knows my own affairs. Anyway, I never thought about becoming the child of destiny. I participated in the trial just because I don't want to leave any regrets."
For the residents of Destiny Island, as long as they are qualified to practice, they will never miss the trial of destiny. This has become their belief and seems to be a matter of course.
Hearing Tietou's answer, Tang Zhen smiled: "Don't worry, although we are not going directly to the Imperial Capital, our ultimate goal is still there, it's just an extra circle."
After making up their minds, Tang Zhen and the two walked in the opposite direction to avoid the imminent chaos.
After the battle on the grassland, the surviving trialists will inevitably head to the imperial capital collectively after receiving the mission prompts. The journey will inevitably be bloody.
He just wanted to take a gamble, but his ultimate goal was still to kill the emperor. Even if his method proved unworkable, Tang Zhen still had a chance to make amends.
