Chapter 288: Ming Dong's Summoning
Listening to everyone's discussions, Jian Chen also stared curiously at the huge statue in front of him.
Suddenly, an old man in a cyan robe descended from the sky, the old man was very ordinary, and there was nothing unique that could attract people, and when the old man first appeared, the qi of heaven and earth that was constantly flowing between heaven and earth suddenly fell into a static state, and an indescribable pressure permeated the heaven and earth, making everyone in the field feel a dull feeling blocked in their hearts.
As soon as the old man appeared, the chattering crowd around him also quieted down at the same time.
The old man was suspended between heaven and earth, standing proudly above the heads of the many Sky Saint Masters below, looking down on everyone, and said in an old and flat voice: "Now I announce that the mercenary tournament once every fifty years has officially begun, and the participants in the competition will stay where they are, and the rest will immediately retreat. ”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the crowd below suddenly stirred, and those who were elderly and those who did not plan to participate in the competition retreated to the back.
"Jian Chen, take care!" Ming Dong said to Jian Chen with a solemn face, and then retreated with the flow of people.
As they left, the number of people who remained in place also decreased considerably, but there were still tens of thousands.
Seeing that the crowd below had gradually stabilized, the old man suspended in the air continued to speak: "The mercenary tournament is only allowed to participate in the mercenary tournament, once those who are over fifty years old enter the competition, they will be mercilessly bombarded by the power of the enchantment, and they will be wiped out in an instant, and those who are younger than fifty years old will immediately withdraw from the competition now, this is your last chance." ”
Subsequently, hundreds of tens of thousands of people retreated slowly, their faces full of unwillingness.
Seeing that no one retreated, the old man's sleeve robe waved, and countless almost black tokens poured out of the sleeve robe, and were wrapped by an invisible force and accurately fell in front of the tens of thousands of contestants below.
Jian Chen reached out and took the black token floating in front of him, the token was the size of a palm, made of unknown materials, very hard, difficult to damage by external forces, and there was a mysterious force flowing inside.
The old man looked down at the people below, and said in a flat tone: "This is the participation order arrow, the first step of the elimination competition will be held in an independent world realm, after entering the realm gate, you will be teleported to any place, the duration of the elimination competition is one year, in this year, the top five hundred finalists in the collection of order arrows, and the rest are all eliminated." As he spoke, the old man arched his hand to the sky and said respectfully, "Please open the boundary gate." ”
There was a strange silence between heaven and earth, and more than 100,000 people gathered together, and surprisingly not one of them made the slightest sound, only the faint sound of breathing.
Suddenly, there was a strong energy fluctuation in the sky, which attracted everyone for the first time, everyone looked up, only to see that the energy in the sky was fluctuating in a very unstable manner, and the whole space was violently distorted, so the scene lasted for Mo about two breaths, a little colorful light suddenly appeared, and quickly spread around it, and soon expanded into a giant multicolored hole with a diameter of 100 meters, which presented a chaotic and could not see anything clearly.
The pitch-black token held in everyone's hands suddenly emitted a faint black light, and then everyone was wrapped in an invisible energy and slowly rose into the air, flying towards the colorful giant cave.
"Ahh
Suddenly, a desolate scream came, and I saw that the entire body of a middle-aged man who had just approached the edge of the giant cave was rapidly melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and completely disappeared between heaven and earth in just one breath, leaving nothing behind.
"Once a person over the age of fifty passes through the gate of the enchantment, he will be mercilessly strangled by the power of the enchantment, and completely dissipate into the heavens and the earth, so you don't need to panic, as long as you are under the age of fifty, you can pass through this gate safely. The old man suspended in the sky said expressionlessly.
These words suddenly made many people's faces show a panicked look, and immediately someone struggled in mid-air, shouting: "I want to go out, I want to go out, I give up participating in the competition..."
"I gave you a chance before, and now it's too late. The old man stared at those people indifferently and said coldly.
"Ahh
Another desolate scream came, the voice was filled with endless pain, a middle-aged man was refined, and the power of the enchantment was refined alive in front of everyone's eyes, and there was no scum left, completely dissipating between heaven and earth.
"Please, let us go..."
"Let's get out of the way, let's give up the game...."
Some people over the age of 50 who were planning to fish in troubled waters begged for mercy.
The old man suspended in mid-air frowned slightly, his face showed a trace of impatience, and with a wave of his hand, an invisible force emerged, and he actually supported those people to speed up and fly towards the colorful giant hole.
"Ahh
With a desolate scream, dozens of people over the age of fifty were directly wiped out by the power of the enchantment, and the hearts of everyone who watched this scene were shocked, while the elderly who had retired before were secretly happy.
Subsequently, tens of thousands of contestants were also carried into the colorful giant cave by the invisible force and disappeared.
"Let me in, let me in, I'm going to go to the race too. A voice suddenly came, and I saw Ming Dong suddenly rush out of the crowd and quickly run under the colorful giant hole, and said loudly to the old man suspended in the air with a pleading face.
The eyes of everyone in the field suddenly focused on Ming Dong, and everyone looked at Ming Dong like idiots, the time for the issuance of the order arrows has ended, and now all the participants are ready to enter an independent space for the elimination round, how can the strong man suspended in the air issue the arrow again because of him.
Jian Chen, who had not yet entered the colorful giant cave, also discovered Ming Dong's abnormality, and stared at Ming Dong with a strange expression, his face was full of puzzlement, and he couldn't understand why Ming Dong suddenly wanted to participate in this competition.
The old man suspended in the air frowned slightly, and looked at Ming Dong who was shouting below with some impatience, and just wanted to wave his hand to drive him away, when suddenly his expression moved, and then he waved his hand and shot out a black arrow that fell into Ming Dong's hand, and said softly: "You go in." ”
In just a short moment, the old man's attitude towards Ming Dong immediately became friendly, and the tone of his voice was not as indifferent as before, but very soft.
The old man's attitude towards Ming Dong made the strong people around him who knew the details of the old man open their mouths wide one by one, and their faces were full of disbelief.
"It seems that this young man's background is not simple. Someone whispered to himself.
Jian Chen also looked at Ming Dong who was wrapped in a mysterious force and slowly rose from below, his heart was full of doubts, and he couldn't figure out what Ming Dong was doing. And there was also a hint of worry on his face, the old man said clearly before, after entering the boundary gate, he would be randomly teleported to any place, and it was indeed very dangerous for Ming Dong to stay alone in it with the strength of a junior great saint master, but in the current situation, Jian Chen was powerless to stop it.
After Jian Chen's black arrow was sent into the multicolored giant hole, he was randomly teleported to a jungle, surrounded by very quiet and dense trees.
Suddenly, the space around Jian Chen's eyes fluctuated slightly, and a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
When he saw this figure clearly, Jian Chen's face suddenly showed joy, and he exclaimed: "Mingdong, it's you, it's great, you have been teleported to my side." The figure that was suddenly teleported to Jian Chen's side was relieved to be Ming Dong.
Ming Dong was startled by the sudden sound and shadow, and reflexively sacrificed his holy soldier, but when he heard the familiar voice, his face was also full of excitement, and he immediately withdrew the holy soldier, and said happily: "Jian Chen, I actually teleported together with you, this is really good, the two of us join forces, we will definitely be able to stabilize our foothold here." ”
"By the way, Mingdong, didn't you not participate in the competition, why did you suddenly change your mind at the last moment, and that mysterious and powerful old man, he actually made an exception to allow you to join halfway. Jian Chen's face was puzzled.
Hearing this, Ming Dong's face showed a trace of confusion, and said: "I don't know why I will suddenly change my attention to participate in the knockout round, just now I felt that something was calling me here, and the feeling of summoning was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed to be able to control my will, and I couldn't control myself, and then I came in in a daze." ”
"What, you said something is calling you here, can you still feel it now?" Jian Chen's face was surprised, this thing that Ming Dong encountered was strange enough.
Ming Dong closed his eyes and felt it carefully, then nodded, and said, "I can still feel it, but the power of the summoning has become much weaker." ”
Jian Chen frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Then can you feel which direction the summoning is coming from?" ”
"In the East!" Mingdong gestured ahead.
Jian Chen glanced at the direction that Ming Dong was pointing, pondered for a while, and said, "Let's go, let's go over and see what is calling you." Immediately, Jian Chen and Ming Dong marched towards the east together.
This is an independent world, and the location of Jian Chen and Ming Dong is a primeval mountain range, and the environment here is very harsh, full of poisonous mosquitoes and insects.
Suddenly, Ming Dong, who was walking behind Jian Chen, his whole body was short, and he quickly sank to the ground, and he actually stepped on a swamp that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
Ming Dong slapped the swamp with both hands, trying to fly out with his own strength, but the next moment, Ming Dong's face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "My legs were bitten by something, Jian Chen helped me." ”
Jian Chen's heart was shocked, and he immediately turned around and grabbed Ming Dong's shoulder, and his arm suddenly exerted force, directly throwing Ming Dong out of the swamp into the air, and at the same time, he was thrown out of a poisonous snake the size of a bucket, covered in mud, and a pair of huge mouths were biting Ming Dong's legs tightly.
A sharp light flashed in Jian Chen's eyes, and the Light Wind Sword instantly appeared, and as a sword shadow flickered, the poisonous snake the thickness of the bucket was directly cut into countless pieces, and bright red blood mixed with foul-smelling sludge splashed everywhere in the air.
Jian Chen's soft force caught Ming Dong who fell from the sky, although the body of the poisonous snake was cut off by him, but the snake head still bit Ming Dong's legs tightly, and Ming Dong cracked his teeth in pain.
Jian Chen's arm waved, only to see a silver-white light flash away, the snake head that bit Ming Dong suddenly split into two halves from the middle, and Ming Dong's legs had been bitten, bloody, and toxins entered his body, making his skin around the wound dark blue, and it was still rapidly expanding around.
Ming Dong immediately took out a white vial from the spatial belt, poured out some white powder from it and sprinkled it on the wound, and muttered: "Fortunately, I have prepared an antidote in Valorence City, this antidote is very famous in the Tian Yuan Continent, it can cure all kinds of poisons, the only drawback is that the price is too high." ”
Jian Chen looked at the wound on Ming Dong's leg and said, "Can you still continue walking?"
After the antidote was applied, Ming Dong stood up and moved his legs, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the wound is not deep, the problem is not big, you can move on." ”
"Be careful, let's move on, this world doesn't know how big the Dao is, so many people were teleported in and didn't see a single one. Jian Chen said.
"Wait a minute!" Ming Dong came to the broken body of the poisonous snake, sacrificed and unfolded a piece of the body, took out a demon core from it, and said with a smile: "This thing can't just be thrown away, how much Lang Fei." ”
Jian Chen smiled helplessly, this poisonous snake has third-order strength, and now a third-order demon core really can't enter his magic eyes.
After this incident, the two of them were more cautious on the next journey, even so, but the hidden on the ground and difficult to detect the provocation still made the two of them suffer a little, some of the ground looks like inductive soil, but when you step on it, it suddenly becomes a swamp, or like quicksand in the desert, dragging the human body to sink downward, even the sword dust has suffered several losses, but there is no danger in the past.
And in this primeval mountain range, there are also demonic beasts from time to time, all of them are some third-order and fourth-order demonic beasts, almost all of them are highly poisonous species.
After Jian Chen and the two walked cautiously in the forest for a long time, Jian Chen suddenly stopped, his ears trembled slightly, catching the movements around him.
After a while, a smile appeared on Jian Chen's face, and he said: "After walking for most of the day, I finally met a living person, this world is really big enough, tens of thousands of people have been teleported in, and it has only taken so long to meet one." ”
"Jian Chen, is there anyone near here?" Ming Dong heard the meaning of Jian Chen's words, and asked, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow.
Jian Chen nodded and said, "Yes, there is one, not far ahead, and the sound seems to be coming in our direction." ”
"I just don't know what his strength is, if it's the Earth Saint Master, then we'll be in trouble. Ming Dong's face became a little solemn.
Jian Chen patted Ming Dong's shoulder, and said indifferently: "Let you go, there are not many people who can reach the Earth Saint Master before the age of fifty, how can it be so easy to meet, let's go, let's take a look at who the person in front of us is, maybe we can still get a competition arrow." ”
