Chapter 3485: Peak Master’s Challenge (Part 1)

Locke's plan to challenge the Ninth Peak Master ended in failure.

It's not that Locke is not strong enough, it's that he didn't catch up with the good times. He didn't even see the face of the Ninth Peak Master.

The Ninth Peak is the starting point for the challenge of Jiuchong Mountain's rules. Every year, countless desperate people try to challenge the peak owner and become one of the real beneficiaries of Jiuchong Mountain's rules.

It is also because of this that countless battles have taken place on the ninth peak of Jiuchong Mountain in the past hundreds of thousands of years.

In order to ensure relative fairness and to prevent the master of the Ninth Peak from being tired of dealing with challenges from below all year round, the challenge of the master of the Ninth Peak is limited to once every 200 years.

The most recent Peak Master challenge took place 50 years ago.

This means that if Locke wants to challenge the Ninth Peak, he will have to wait at least 150 years.

Moreover, the current peak leader of the Ninth Peak is also a desperate person who has only been in the position of peak leader for 250 years. He had just successfully defended the base 50 years ago and it was too late for him to recuperate. How could he agree to accept the offer from Locke? challenge.

In addition, the water in the dangerous area of ​​Jiuchong Mountain is very deep.

Although on the surface, there are four peak despairers and five half-step peak creatures in charge of the rules of Jiuchong Mountain, standing at the apex of all despairers.

In fact, the truly powerful people Jiuchong Mountain possesses are not limited to the above.

On the ninth peak alone, Locke felt that in addition to the peak master on the main peak, there were three other half-step peak creatures!

It is difficult to see so many super powerful life forms gathered together in ordinary areas.

"Those three half-step peak creatures should also be trying to challenge the position of the Peak Master. It seems that the challenge for the Peak Master's qualifications after 150 years will not be too easy." Locke sighed and said.

"With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat them. Come on, I'm waiting to go to the main peak to get a glimpse of the true secrets of Jiuchong Mountain's formation." Lilith patted Locke on the shoulder and encouraged him.

...

In the dangerous and dangerous place of Jiuchong Mountain, hiding one's strength is not a wise move.

The desperate world's absorption of energy elements from living organisms has already worsened the world's environment to the extreme.

And Jiuchong Mountain has added a pinch of frost on top of this harsh environment.

Absorb the energy from living things and gather it into essence. This approach is very much like some kind of magic, but as the recipients, they are creatures of level four or above who are known as gods in the star world.

What is even more surprising is that these existences above level four are still willing to become a part of the rules of Jiuchong Mountain.

The moment he arrived at Jiuchong Mountain, Locke released his aura of a desperate person who was half a step closer to his peak.

And by setting his temporary residence as the Ninth Peak, even a blind man can see Locke's plan.

For survivors like Locke who have just arrived and are trying to challenge the position of the leader of the Ninth Peak, survivors who have lived in the dangerous areas of Jiuchong Mountain all year round have experienced it countless times.

Observing the Ninth Peak Master Qualification Challenge has gradually become a way for those desperate people to kill time in their free time.

Locke's arrival brings up to four candidates to challenge the qualifications of the peak master 150 years later.

Many desperate people and survivors in the Jiuchong Mountain settlement are very curious about the strength and ranking of Locke and the other four half-step peak desperate people.

Perhaps influenced by the long-standing rules for ranking the first to ninth peaks of Jiuchong Mountain, the survivors in the Jiuchong Mountain settlement always like to rank the strong ones they know well.

At the beginning, they were not familiar with Locke, the newly arrived half-step peak despairer.

Until this half-step peak despairer, on the tenth year after arriving in the dangerous area of ​​Jiuchong Mountain, accidentally had a conflict with another half-step peak despairer, 'Poisonous Clam', and... After almost destroying the opponent's Sui Pearl, the survivors in the Jiuchong Mountain settlement finally got to know Locke.

It was also by virtue of his battle with the 'Poison Clam' that Locke became the second-ranked existence among the four potential challengers of the Ninth Peak.

The guy ranked first is called 'White Cattail Willow', which is an intelligent plant-based creature that is rare in the world of despair.

The reason why it ranks first is because this old willow tree has served as the master of the Ninth Peak for more than 600 years before. Even the old guy of the Eighth Peak also tried to challenge, but ended in failure.

After Locke, they are ‘Poisonous Clam’ and ‘Weird Power’ Johnson.

Locke will specifically look for poisonous clams, mainly to make a name for himself and prepare for the challenge of the Ninth Peak more than a hundred years later.

The poisonous clam is stronger than the strange force Johnson. Locke can knock the opponent over and save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

As for the poisonous clam, it is not unfair to lose to Locke. First of all, this guy is extremely bulky. Two huge shells limit its speed. In front of Locke, who has mastered the power of the storm, this guy can only be beaten passively. .

The other two specialties of the poisonous clam - defense and toxins - are also tightly restrained by Locke.

In the face of the extremely powerful force of destruction, any defense is just a decoration.

The poisonous clam's toxin was easily cracked by Locke, who had a 'plug-in' like Lilith.

So much so that the battle between Locke and the poisonous clam lasted less than half a year.

From the beginning to the end, Locke was suppressing the poisonous clam. In order to prevent his Sui Bead from being destroyed and suffering more losses, the poisonous clam showed a very bachelor at the end.

To admit defeat.

The battle with the poisonous clam completely established Locke's reputation on the ninth peak of the Jiuchong Mountain settlement.

Even in the first eight peaks, Locke's reputation has spread. After all, someone like him could easily defeat another desperate person who was halfway to the peak within half a year. There might not even be one in the Jiuchong Mountain settlement for thousands of years.

Many survivors in the settlement area speculated that this was another 'dragon crossing the river'.

The reason why I say ‘again’ is because the master of the Eighth Peak who came to Jiuchong Mountain a thousand years ago was such a fierce man.

He challenged many beings of the same level in one breath, and in just five hundred years, he rushed to the position of the master of the eighth peak.

And over the years, the master of the eighth peak has never stopped challenging the seventh peak. Many survivors speculate that this master is not far away from climbing the seventh peak.

After the battle with the poisonous clam, Locke has been looking for opportunities to find trouble with the 'white catkin willow'. He has even prepared various strategies and plans for the battle with the white catkin willow.

But the old willow tree was very cunning. It was always unwilling to have too much contact with Locke, and seemed to be avoiding Locke specifically.

Locke's strength felt like it was hitting cotton.

This situation lasted until more than a hundred years later, on the eve of the official launch of the Ninth Peak Challenge.
