Chapter 389: Hell Garden
The small plane named Hell Garden before him undoubtedly relied on Falan Planet and was under the control of the Ancestral Court.
After obtaining some information about the Hell Garden, Tang San had carefully analyzed this place.
First, it had to be an isolated space. Second, this space had to be unstable; otherwise, god-level beings would be able to enter freely.
It wasn’t that god-level beings couldn\'t enter at all, but rather that their entry could cause the space to collapse, destroying the entire small plane.
Additionally, the benefits obtainable in this isolated plane were likely not material objects; if they were, they would have long been exhausted. In that case, it wouldn\'t be used as a battleground for team battles.
In essence, Tang San considered the Hell Garden a dangerous spatial battlefield.
As he pondered, the surroundings suddenly emptied, and he felt himself falling.
The scenery before him returned to normal, and cries of surprise came from around him.
Without looking, Tang San reached out with his right hand and grabbed Du Bai. On the other side, Cheng Zicheng spread her golden wings and grabbed Wu Bingji and Gu Li by their arms.
Tang San stepped on a brilliant white light, using the airflow to descend slowly.
They had appeared in the air but were only about ten meters above the ground.
Tang San instinctively scanned the surroundings while quickly spreading his spiritual power to probe the area.
What he saw was a somewhat magical world.
The sky was dark, as if it were night, but strangely, the ground was bright. Within their sight, the ground was covered with various flowers, each emitting a different glow. The soft radiance of the flowers against the night gave a mesmerizing effect.
They had arrived at the Hell Garden!
Recalling the information he had received from Xu Ziran, Tang San controlled his descent toward a specific location. Cheng Zicheng followed closely, flapping her wings as they landed together.
One crucial piece of information Xu Ziran had given Tang San about the Hell Garden was that warm-colored flowers were safe, while cool-colored flowers were dangerous. However, during the singing, safety and danger would switch. This was one of the Hell Garden\'s rules.
At this moment, they were in a field of warm-colored flowers.
The surrounding flowers were mainly light pink, orange, and pale red. Some taller flower stalks reached several meters, while others were only a few inches high. As they landed in the flower field, they were immediately concealed by the surrounding blooms.
"It\'s so beautiful here!" Cheng Zicheng said softly. As a girl, the sight of glowing flowers all around her was incredibly moving.
Wu Bingji gently tapped her shoulder, and Cheng Zicheng immediately fell silent. Everyone\'s attention focused on Tang San.
Tang San looked at his companions, smiled slightly, and said, "The hunt begins now."
Hell Garden.
Team Battle Rules: The sole objective for all teams entering the Hell Garden is to find the exit. The Hell Garden is vast, and there is only one exit. Whenever singing begins, the direction of the exit can be sensed. At the same time, the safety and danger of warm-colored and cool-colored flowers switch.
The number of cool-colored flowers increases after each song, and the number of warm-colored flowers decreases. Anyone passing through the area of cool-colored flowers, whether in the sky or on the ground, will be attacked.
The Hell Garden opens for a duration equivalent to seven days in the outside world. The number of times the singing occurs varies, but once all the flowers in the space are cool-colored, the Hell Garden closes and no one can leave.
Only half of the entrants can leave. If more than half of the participants reach the exit, some have to be killed to reduce the number to below half before they can exit successfully. The deceased would become nutrients for the Hell Garden.
It is said that the Great Beast Fighting Arena chose this location for team battles precisely in order to maintain the integrity of this space.
When they were in the air earlier, Tang San had observed that the warm-colored flowers occupied about two-thirds of all the flowers in their field of vision. This meant that, for now, the survival space was the largest.
Tang San did not rush to act. Before the first song started, they would not know the direction of the exit or which way they should go.
Du Bai took out two Godly Zhuge Crossbows, holding them in his hands. These were his weapons.
Tang San gently touched a pink flower before him, closed his eyes, and silently felt its aura.
The first thing he felt was warmth. The aura coming from this flower was warm. That faint warmth gave him a feeling of physical and mental comfort, making him want to sleep or even stay here forever.
At the same time, he also felt the goodwill these warm-colored flowers were conveying to him. These flowers seemed to be nurturing a very peculiar energy. This energy wasn\'t of a plant attribute but rather an extraordinary existence that Tang San couldn\'t describe. It had the essence of space and time, but also other indescribable elements were within it.
Tang San squatted down to observe the ground.
The ground was plain soil, black as ink, just like the sky above. Tang San lightly touched it and immediately withdrew his hand as if he had been shocked.
When he touched it, he felt an overwhelming malevolent intent coming from the soil, like a whirlpool trying to devour his spiritual will. Strangely, standing on it with his shoes, he didn\'t feel this.
He also sensed a strange energy interaction between the ground and these flowers. It seemed that the flowers were releasing positive energy to counteract the soil\'s malevolent intent.
Xu Ziran’s introduction to the Hell Garden was limited to the few rules he had told Tang San. Beyond that, there was nothing more. It was not that he didn’t want to tell them more, but that he simply did not know, in spite of the Aetherhorn Deers’ extensive information network. Even those demons and nymphs who had left the Hell Garden alive could not reveal much information. Or perhaps they hadn\'t truly understood what this place was.
Du Bai held his Godly Zhuge Crossbows in both hands, grinning. "In a place like this, it\'s time to show off my skills. Once I activate my Celestial Fox Vision and use luck to guide us, we\'ll be the first team to find the exit. Then we can deal with the stragglers—perfect!"
As he spoke, a misty white light appeared in his eyes, and above his head, the shadow of a three-tailed celestial fox slowly emerged.
What he said made sense—what better guide than luck to determine which direction to go? Additionally, luck might lead them through areas with warm-colored flowers, preventing them from encountering cool-colored ones due to the singing.
Only Tang San frowned slightly, but he did not stop Du Bai. He just watched him intently.
As the three-tailed Celestial Fox was about to form, Tang San\'s pupils suddenly contracted.
Just as it was about to take shape, the three-tailed Celestial Fox above Du Bai\'s head suddenly turned from white to black. Immediately following this, a bizarre scene unfolded—the warm-colored flowers around them almost instantly transformed into cool-colored ones. A chilling, murderous aura enveloped the five members of the Shrek team in an instant.
