Douluo Continent: Transmigrated into Tang San's Younger Sister and Became a God with Two Martia

Chapter 219 The Trial of the Eight Sacred Pillars (Part 1)

Tang Nian didn't know Natasha's true identity, but she was indeed an elusive figure.

At that very moment, as everyone stepped into this mysterious place, Tang Nian's eyes widened in astonishment as she discovered that Natasha had appeared before them like a ghost, seemingly out of nowhere.

The instant their eyes met, Natasha immediately bowed deeply to Tang Nian and said softly, "Your Excellency, the Successor, you have finally returned."

Tang Nian replied expressionlessly, "Yes, I've returned to take my first test. I hope you can do me a favor."

Natasha quickly bowed and replied, "You flatter me. It is my duty to serve you, and it is my honor."

After speaking, Natasha's gaze slowly swept over the group behind Tang Nian, and then she said, "These must be your friends who participated in the first test with you, right? However, they will only be qualified to stay here after successfully passing the test of the Eight Sacred Pillars."

Upon hearing this, Tang Nian nodded solemnly in agreement.

Meanwhile, Dai Mubai and the others standing behind her quickly exchanged glances, each with a different expression in their eyes.

However, at this moment, even though they had countless questions and confusions in their hearts, they knew that this was not a suitable place to ask questions, so they could only suppress their curiosity and not ask Tang Nian in front of outsiders.

Natasha, an outsider: "..."

Following Natasha, just like when Tang Nian first arrived here, they walked through the Yellow Springs Road filled with blooming spider lilies within a time limit and turned a corner in front of the Bridge of Helplessness.

Just then, Tang Nian suddenly felt her vision blur, and the road that was clearly visible instantly became indistinct.

At this moment, Tang Nian was not the only one who shared the same feelings.

Then, Ning Rongrong's slightly worried voice came from behind, "Oh dear! Why do I feel like I can't see anything?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Nian suddenly realized that this was the scene since they entered the place. Natasha must have intentionally kept the specific path to the mysterious castle a secret from them.

Tang Nian quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, hold my hand, we'll reach our destination soon."

"Okay!" Ning Rongrong responded quickly and firmly grasped Tang Nian's outstretched hand.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Zhuqing also grabbed Ning Rongrong's other hand without hesitation, while Dai Mubai took the opportunity to hold Zhu Zhuqing's hand. Seeing this, Ma Hongjun also quickly grabbed Dai Mubai's wrist.

But as Ma Hongjun tightened his grip, Dai Mubai felt a chill on the back of his neck and his whole body went cold. But the situation was special, and he couldn't think about that anymore. In this way, the group of them, like a tightly linked chain, groped their way forward step by step toward the direction of the castle.

Before long, Tang Nian felt the road in front of her, which had been blurry, gradually become clear and visible.

She stopped and looked closely, and was startled to find that they had somehow arrived outside the mysterious and ancient castle.

Tang Nian's expression instantly turned serious and solemn. She lowered her voice and said, "We've arrived."

These words were like a thunderclap in the air, instantly destroying the slightly relaxed atmosphere.

Before he finished speaking, the expressions of the other four people also changed abruptly, becoming serious and tense as if facing a formidable enemy.

Before entering this place, Tang Nian had already made an agreement with them that once she said "we've arrived," it would be a hint to everyone that the situation they were about to face would be extremely dangerous.

Natasha silently took it all in, but she remained silent, only a faint, enigmatic smile playing on her lips.

Without hesitation, she strode into the eerie and terrifying castle.

Seeing this, Tang Nian and the others quickly followed closely behind, not daring to delay in the slightest.

Although Tang Nian wasn't very familiar with this castle, she hadn't visited it many times.

However, she was fully aware of the importance of this place. Therefore, despite the intricate and winding passages inside the castle, she was able to memorize every path and knew very well that she was not far from the legendary location of the Eight Sacred Pillars.

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun are about to face the severe test of the Eight Sacred Pillars. Thinking of this, Tang Nian's heart clenched involuntarily, her worry evident. However, she knew she couldn't let her unease affect everyone, so she took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed her anxiety.

Compared to her inner anxiety, Tang Nian actually preferred to trust her teammates who were fighting alongside her. They had gone through countless ups and downs together and had already built a deep trust and tacit understanding between them.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

At this moment, the group had arrived before the Eight Sacred Pillars. Haier stood there as firmly as a mountain, his back to them. When he heard footsteps behind him, he neither turned around nor showed the slightest curiosity, as if he had known someone would come. Instead, he went straight to the point, saying, "Inheritor, you've returned."

The word "come back" is used quite subtly here, prompting everyone to speculate.

Tang Nian's expression remained unchanged. She simply nodded slightly and replied calmly, "I want to enter the first exam as soon as possible."

Haier seemed unsurprised by Tang Nian's urgent request.

He remained calm and composed as he slowly spoke, "You will all walk to the Eight Sacred Pillars one by one. Yama will convey his decree to you. If any of you do not meet the requirements, I will safely send them out of this place, so you do not need to worry about it." After saying this, Haier slightly stepped aside, making way for the Eight Sacred Pillars, and signaled for everyone to step forward to accept the test.

Upon hearing this, Tang Nian's tense nerves finally relaxed slightly, and her face, which had been pale due to nervousness, gradually regained some color.

It's important to understand that this matter is of utmost importance; the slightest mistake could lead to serious consequences.

However, just when everyone was hesitant, Dai Mubai, the undisputed eldest among the Shrek Eight Monsters, stepped forward without hesitation.
