Trial Of The Grasses Novels & Stories

The grass was turquoise. Not green, not blue, but a light blend of both. I bent down and grabbed a few blades of it to look at closer, but even that didn't change the coloring of the grass. I pulled it apart and watched it excrete juices that were far milkier than any plant that I had ever seen. The giant in front of me hissed in a tone that was obviously agitation, and I looked up to see him standing at the edge of the tree line looking at me expectantly.

She knocked out Ada beside her. I gasped as I approached them. "Anna, did you find something?" Dr. Helena brushed off the dirt and looked at me. "What is illusion grass?" Holly was still puzzled. "Illusion grass is a green plant that emits pleasant sounds, containing illusion essence, which can affect the body's hearing and thinking, making people obey the grass's commands and ultimately becoming its slaves." "It can unearth the deepest desires in people's hearts. Those enchanted by its sound will be trapped in illusions until consumed by it. In other words, those white ashes are actually the remains of werewolves devoured by illusion grass."

Thanks to his excellent observation skills, Zen gathered a total of thirteen plant types from that meadow. The long grass did nothing, so Zen decided to try the dewy grass. The grass fibre felt sticky in his hand, and Zen didn’t know what sort of effect this grass had. It should be a medicinal grass, but Zen didn’t know anything about it. Heck, he wasn’t sure if real-world knowledge applied to this VR game! Liu Feng wasn’t back yet, and Zen braced himself to test this sticky dew grass. The fifth time has to be the charm!

"It's the only way to become a core member and get access to the swamp." For my child, I would endure anything. In the Trial Hall, five elders sat on a high dais, the most respected figures in the Alliance. "Evelyn White," the lead elder's voice was solemn. "Are you certain you wish to undertake the Triple Trial?" "I am." "First, the Trial of Knowledge." A thick, ancient tome was placed before me. "In one hour, you must recite chapters seven through ten of the Compendium of Ancient Herbs and explain the antidotes for any three poisons within."

Maybe it was because the look on the boy's face just now was too similar—it was like how he looked when he pinned her down on the couch, cold and ruthless. Amelia shook her head and reminded herself to stay focused. Any thought could turn into a demon. She was still in formation. Her reason for coming to the Cultivation Conference was simple too, this time the place for the trial was said to have Ancient Ferocious Beasts around. The book said, wherever there were Ancient Ferocious Beasts, there was Revival Grass. Master's tribulation wasn't necessarily impossible to get through. As long as she got the resurrection herb and won back the heart-protecting mirror, the lightning tribulation could

Matteo said loudly, "Mr. Leeroy won’t part with the Green Plum Grass unless it's a matter of life or death." "I need the Green Plum Grass to save someone," Rozi insisted, "Mr. Leeroy wouldn't be unwilling to help in such a critical situation, right?" Matteo hesitated to speak, knowing that Rozi had no chance of obtaining such potent medicinal herbs since she belonged to the Sun Tribe. The social hierarchy in Debonaire was strict, and the lives of the Sun Tribe members were undervalued. Yet, he dared not voice this out loud. Witnessing Adrian's remarkable strength moments ago, Matteo thought that perhaps Leeroy would make an exception.

The grass before his eyes was turning yellow and dark, to finally become completely silver-gray like metal! "Is this... a sword?" Ding Hao was stunned to find that every blade of grass that had previously formed the endless grassland was actually an extremely delicate and small sword. They were put together densely, becoming a fake grassland and with the tender green color and the endless vitality. "What kind of world is this?"

The Sacred Grove looked different from how it had during my Luna trials. Where before it had felt ancient and powerful, now it felt ominous. Threatening. The stone pillars marking each Alpha's territory seemed to loom over us as judges had already decided on their verdict. The Council had assembled in full—all thirteen regional Alphas, their Betas, advisors, and witnesses. Hundreds of wolves filled the clearing, come to witness Viktor's trial and, I suspected, mine.

“But if you walk away now, you walk away alone.” I feel Ethan hesitate, just for a second, and that second scares me more than anything else. “What kind of game?” I demand. “What twisted thing are you planning now?” Cane glances at his brothers before answering, like this has already been decided long before I ever walked into this place. “A Trial of Binding,” he says. “Old law.” My stomach drops. “Explain.” Gunnar steps closer, his presence heavy, commanding. “It’s simple. A test of will and truth. The game reads intent, loyalty, and strength. Not muscles,” he adds, looking directly at Ethan, “but the kind that doesn’t lie.”
