Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom - Chapter 229

Chapter 229: Chapter229:Enter Death Lair
“Enzo!”

Upon awakening, Eve spotted Enzo standing beside her and exclaimed in delight. She continued, “In the past few days, many have ventured deep into the woods. Has something transpired within?”

Enzo nodded and recounted the events surrounding Steles Amusement Park.

Upon hearing him, Eve’s eyes sparkled with envy.

The mere requirement of reaching the innermost depths of Steles Forest served as a barrier for many aspiring to enter Steles Amusement Park. Lacking sufficient talent rendered them unable to proceed.

Eve found herself in such a predicament.

Despite her talent in Dark Night Forest, she would not have had such strength to serve as the Shadow Corps commander of Ice Moon Royal Family.

Those entered the trial space were often prodigies from mighty clans.

Particularly this time, it affected the whole world.

The most powerful group of geniuses in the world were competing here, and Eve’s performance was naturally somewhat mediocre.

Yet, Eve did not allow herself to feel disheartened.

Curiously, she inquired, “Enzo, where shall we go next?”

After a moment’s contemplation, Enzo replied, “Let’s seek out that fellow Tade.”

Previously, he had accepted Tade’s request to accompany him to Death Lair.

Eve naturally held no objections to this.

Enzo wrapped his arms around Eve and then, with a swift gesture, executed a teleportation, vanishing like mist, only to reappear at the entrance of Steles Forest.

The two made their way through the passage, returning to the trial plaza.

The plaza was now teeming with people, nearly overflowing with the crowd.

Moreover, the strength of the individuals varied greatly.

Among them were several who were not even high-level supernatural beings. However, these individuals did not hastily opt to withdraw but lingered in the plaza, beseeching benevolent souls to guide them through the trials.

Such a notion was undoubtedly foolish.

In the trial space, there were hardly any altruistic figures to be found.

Before long, Enzo and Eve spotted Tade, the bear clan man, who had claimed the central position of the plaza, erecting a massive wooden sign that proclaimed: “Inquiries regarding trial space information, fair pricing, no deceit.”

It must be said, among all their acquaintances, Tade was indeed a peculiar character.

Enzo approached him directly to greet him.

Startled from his contemplation, Tade suddenly looked up and exclaimed, “Mr. Enzo, is that you!”

He continued, “Thank heavens you’ve finally shown up! I thought you were going to remain in Steles Amusement Park forever!”

This remark left Enzo astonished.

Only a few should possess knowledge of Steles Amusement Park, and those who entered it seldom found their way back easily.

Yet, it appeared that not only Eve knew of Steles Amusement Park, but others seemed to as well, leaving Enzo utterly perplexed. He decided to confront Tade directly, asking, “Tade, how do you know about Steles Amusement Park?”

Upon hearing Enzo’s inquiry, Tade cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

Once assured of their safety, he whispered, “This is a secret… Well, Enzo, I can share a bit regarding your question. During the last trial space opening, a member of my bear tribe acquired a treasure that allows glimpses into certain aspects of the trial space.”

“And the information about the Death Lair was gleaned from this treasure.”

Tade’s explanation felt somewhat tenuous and left room for doubt.

However, Enzo did not press further; everyone harbors their own secrets, after all.

“When do we set out?”

At this moment, Enzo asked.

Without hesitation, Tade replied, “The original plan was to depart in eight days, but if you are free now, Enzo, we could leave sooner, allowing ample time for our journey.”

“Very well, let us depart immediately.” Enzo declared.

His decisiveness momentarily left Tade taken aback, but he was not one to hesitate. He swiftly stowed away their provisions into his spatial storage ring and patted his chest towards Enzo, saying, “No problem.”

Soon after, the three traversed the passage to the Death Lair.

As the scenery shifted, and bright light flooded their vision once more, an unpleasant odor wafted through the air, accompanied by a frantic shout. “Run! That beast is coming!”

The cry belonged to a stranger.

He was with a lean figure whose aura, despite his frail appearance, radiated strength—Level 7, and almost Level 8. Yet, he was now in a desperate flight.

Behind him trailed a few individuals.

These people should be teaming up with the skinny man.

Suddenly, the earth trembled.

In an instant, Enzo, Eve, and Tade comprehended the reason for their hasty retreat—a colossal black rhinoceros, resembling a small mountain, was barreling towards them.

Tade’s expression shifted dramatically as he exclaimed, “It’s the Iron Armored Rhinoceros!”

Eve’s countenance also turned grave as she added, “This creature is a social beast, renowned for its formidable defenses and a vengeful nature. Once targeted, it will pursue relentlessly, regardless of location—an absolute nightmare for all wilderness adventurers.”

Upon hearing their explanations, Enzo maintained a composed demeanor.

He scanned the surroundings, contemplating using teleportation to whisk Eve and Tade away, only to sense the intricacy of the spatial fabric beneath the ground. Teleportation necessitated a defined destination, and acting recklessly could lead to disorientation within the Death Lair.

Thus, Enzo was compelled to abandon that plan.

If escape was not an option, then they would have to engage in battle.

The Iron Armored Rhinoceros before them possessed Level 8 strength. Dispatching it would not pose a significant challenge, merely requiring some time.

“Stay back for now.”

Enzo instructed Eve and Tade, instantly materializing before the Iron Armored Rhinoceros. Although the Iron Armored Rhinoceros had no designs on them, Iron Armored Rhinoceros was unmistakably intent on aggression.

The Iron Armored Rhinoceros regarded Enzo with disdain.

A mere insignificant human dared to obstruct its path. This was tantamount to seeking death!

The Iron Armored Rhinoceros charged forward, its hooves pounding the ground.

The earth quaked violently as Enzo summoned Flame Wings, soaring into the air, before retrieving his Flame Spear and lunging it toward the Iron Armored Rhinoceros.

The Iron Armored Rhinoceros grew increasingly disdainful.

Its greatest strength lay in its formidable defense. Although the Flame Spear appeared remarkable, penetrating its armor proved an impossible feat.

Consequently, the Iron Armored Rhinoceros made no attempt to evade.

It emitted a derisive chuckle, allowing the Flame Spear to pierce its massive body.

A ghastly roar erupted thereafter.

Enzo furrowed his brow. The Flame Spear had indeed entered the Rhinoceros’s bulk, yet it too endured some wear, faint crackling sounds emanating from it.

Despite its anguished cries, the Iron Armored Rhinoceros had merely sustained a superficial wound.

“This creature is truly tough-skinned and resilient.”

Enzo remarked, withdrawing the Flame Spear and stowing it within his personal realm.

At that moment, the Iron Armored Rhinoceros was utterly enraged.

It let out a thunderous roar, causing the ground to tremble, and from a distance, several more Iron Armored Rhinoceroses charged forth, all of them Level 8 with an exceptionally formidable presence, panting heavily and glaring at Enzo with bloodshot eyes.

Roar~

The pack of Iron Armored Rhinoceroses bellowed in unison.

Then, the mighty horns atop their heads gathered lightning, unleashing a fierce strike towards Enzo.

“Lightning.”

Enzo murmured thoughtfully.

Having some knowledge of the lightning element, he chose not to evade the oncoming storm. Instead, a crimson armor manifested around him, siphoning the bolts of electricity.

Nearby, Eve watched in concern.

Though she recognized Enzo’s immense power, caution was imperative in the Death Lair, a graveyard for many formidable beings.

Meanwhile, Tade radiated unbridled excitement.

“Blood-red armor, it is indeed blood-red armor! The spell that Father Lord witnessed at the banquet has reemerged, and Enzo is even more formidable than described!”

Tade’s eyes flickered, lost in thought.

What transpired next left everyone utterly astounded; even the fleeing group of frail men halted, gazing in a daze at the terrifying spectacle before them.

They saw…

Before them appeared Enzo, who discarded his Flame Wings and landed amidst a circle of Iron Armored Rhinoceroses. Yet, to his credit, no trace of panic marred his visage; instead, he radiated an unwavering spirit, uttering softly, “Let us see then, whether you are the more resilient, or if my strength prevails!”

As his words faded, Enzo’s form vanished in an instant.

He reappeared at the flank of one Iron Armored Rhinoceros, delivering a decisive punch that caused its massive frame to shudder, though it seemed unscathed, only incensed further.

The lightning coursing along its horn surged throughout its body.

Yet, this tempest of electricity posed no threat to Enzo; rather, he absorbed it, compelling the Iron Armored Rhinoceros to withdraw its lightning.

Consequently, they were left to confront Enzo’s relentless assaults with their own colossal bodies.

With each punch, Enzo held nothing back.

Utilizing his ability to teleport, he seamlessly shifted positions within close quarters. The gargantuan Iron Armored Rhinoceroses, despite their immense strength, lacked the agility to match his movements.

Thus, landing a blow on Enzo proved exceedingly arduous.

One could almost say he was toying with the Iron Armored Rhinoceros.

Finally, after enduring hundreds of relentless strikes, one Iron Armored Rhinoceros could bear no more of this torment, abandoning its brethren in a frenzied retreat.

Other Iron Armored Rhinoceroses bellowed and hastily retreated.

Enzo refrained from pursuing them; although he was confident in his ability to slay these creatures, the time required for such a task was quite considerable.

With the Iron Armored Rhinoceroses gone, Enzo returned to Eve’s side.

Tade, unable to contain his admiration, suddenly looked up and noticed the approach of the frail man and his companions.
