Volume 1 Rebirth of the Southern Yuan Empire Chapter 14 The Dark Forest Trial of the Ten Thousand Beasts River (1)
The Southern Yuan Empire is a place where there is basically no immortal cultivation power in the immortal cultivation world of the Eastern Continent, where there are many mortals and the aura is thin, which is not suitable for monks to cultivate. It was precisely because this place was not suitable for cultivation and lacked resources that it was not favored by several major forces, and people were directly sent down from above to lead mortals to take power. And the immortal cultivation sects in this country are basically sent from other countries to make money. It is also because of some reasons in history, such as the sudden disappearance of the Seven Star Society and the power of the city lords of the city gates, the immortal cultivation sects of the Southern Yuan Empire are very complicated, and the local sects are extremely rare, and they are basically the sects sent by the other four countries to do business.
I heard that this Dark Forest Trial was also directly organized by people sent down from above. The reason why he chose this place that was abandoned by many forces was to cultivate and select outstanding talents from all forces, and secondly, because many immortal cultivators here looked down on him, and high-level immortal cultivators basically did not come to grab resources, and it was more suitable for low-level cultivators to hone themselves. If a low-level monk can stand out, he will become a target for various sects to compete for and focus on training.
In fact, there are a total of 5 major forces in the Immortal Cultivation Realm of the Eastern Continent: the Dominator Association, the Five Poison Valley, the Blue and White Holy Sect, the Netherworld Dynasty, and the Seven Star Society, which once disappeared after a moment of glory in the Southern Yuan Empire. Among them, most of the members of the Dominator Association are the top existences in the world, and they restrain the five major empires of the Eastern Continent. Ghost cultivators, corpse cultivators, and demons are generally not born, but a small number of them are mixed in these five major forces, so as to get the secret support of these major forces. This plays a role in the counterbalance of the righteous path of the devil.
On the outskirts of the Southern Yuan Empire's Soul Estimation City, there was a basin that occupied almost one-fifth of its area. Most of this basin is covered by leafy forests. In the center of the basin, there is an endless river, which is called the "Ten Thousand Beasts River" by the locals.
This river is shrouded in perennial black miasma, and where the miasma is shallow, there are all kinds of demon beasts in groups. So don't go on a killing spree here, the smell of blood will attract hordes of monsters, and don't go deep into the river, so as not to poison the miasma.
In a hidden place raised in the middle of the river, there is the forest island "Forest of the Dead", which is known as the first murderous place in the Southern Yuan Dynasty, and as the name suggests, most of the monks who came here have become undead.
This forest of the dead has existed since the dawn of mankind. So far, I don't know how many Jindan and Yuanying monks have entered. After so many years, it is still rumored to be bloody and cruel, terrifying and terrifying, and it is still daunting. Therefore, this is a forbidden place for this cultivation, and no participating monk can enter it, otherwise he will bear the consequences. It's just that every time I participate in the competition, there are some high-level monks who are not afraid of death sneaking in with the low-level monk trials, but I haven't heard of anyone coming out so far.
However, relying on the reputation of the Forest of the Dead alone still couldn't stop the cultivators from exploring this island. But I don't know if it's affected by the forest of the dead. I don't know when this Ten Thousand Beasts River has been shrouded in black miasma for many years.
These miasma is like hell, dark and bottomless, dense and heavy, basically reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, once inside, it is as if entering a maze, lost direction.
In this environment, even if an immortal cultivator can survive the miasma, he will not be able to discover any rare treasures, heaven and earth spirit grasses, and cherished demon beasts. You can only try your luck in some small places in the outermost part of the miasma.
Of course, every twenty years or so, the miasma of this river will dissipate, and during this time, the dark forest trial will begin, and the low-level monks who participate in the trial will seize this short three days to go into the forest to hunt for treasure.
The dark forest is vast, and even if there are many elixir spirit beasts, there are only a small number of immortal cultivators who can gain something. But every now and then, many immortal cultivators gather here, waiting for the people above to open the formation for the low-level cultivators to snatch rare beasts and exercise their abilities.
On April 6, the miasma of the Wanshou River was completely eliminated. I saw a large number of immortal cultivators gathering in the Scarlet Crossbow Black River on the outskirts of the Nine Miles of Soul Estimation City.
Qianqian and Wenren Ye Han are already among the many monks. Li Yuankui, a Yuanying-level monk sent from above, sat on a chair raised high, looking at the monks condescendingly.
Li Yuankui's sharp eyes swept over everyone present, his long white hair fluttered in the wind, and he wore taekwondo-style clothes that made people feel like a fairy.
Everyone consciously lowered their heads under this powerful coercion, not daring to look at Li Tiankui's eyes, this is a kind of awe for the strong, and it is also an irresistible under the oppression of a powerful aura.
"No problem, they are all monks in the foundation building period and below. The circle has been opened, so let's line up and go in turn. "After making sure that no Jindan monk had gone in to touch that forbidden place, Li Tiankui announced that they had let them in.
Qianqian followed behind Wen Ren Ye Han without leaving an inch, completely ignoring any cultivators who came to talk to him. Especially when Dayang Zhenren came to ask to form a team together, Qianqian just smiled and said hello and chased after Wen Ren Ye Han.
"Where are we going first?" asked Qianqian.
"Ten Thousand Beasts River. Wen Renye said lightly.
"Didn't you say that there is a forbidden place where you are not allowed to enter, and there is a miasma in the Ten Thousand Beast River, what can we encounter there?" asked Qianqian puzzled.
"The more dangerous the place, the safer the place, there shouldn't be too much fighting, and then we can look for treasures on the periphery of the miasma. Wen Ren's cold tone was still very cold.
Qianqian knew that it was useless to ask, so she followed Wenren Yehan and shuttled around the forest. As if they had heard that Ye Han had come, they would avoid all obstacles, and the two of them came to the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Beasts River after a while.
"Shhhhh Wen Ren Ye Han motioned for Qianqian to squat down and hide in the grass.
I saw a behemoth sleeping by the river not far away. Snoring came into the eardrums one after another. I saw that this giant beast was about 2 meters tall, with a big head full of fiery red tentacles, gray-white tusks about half a meter long on both sides of the mouth, and combined with the body of this elephant, it was unseen and unheard of.
"What kind of monster is this? It looks so strange. Qianqian asked in a whisper.
"The thousand-year-old mutant octaphal body image can be safe and sound in the miasma, but when it encounters strange creatures, it will become manic, and it is extremely territorial. We went down to avoid it. So Wen Ren Ye Han led Qianqian down the direction of the river.
Qianqian cautiously got up and slowly shuttled through the grass, seeing that she was getting farther and farther away from this chapter figure. A gruff male voice appeared in front of them.
"Qianqian Xiaoyou, why have you been hiding in the grass!" asked Mao Sanzhen suspiciously.
I saw that Mao San Zhenren and Dayang Zhenren quietly followed Qianqian and Wenren Ye Han over.
"Coax, coax, coax...", the giant beast opened its eyes, and shot its furious eyes at Mao Sanzhen and Dayang Zhenren, and the two shiny fangs rushed towards them.
Hearing this, Ye Han signaled Qianqian to go quickly, don't meddle in your business, Qianqian is also afraid that this mutated behemoth will run away if she follows. Who knew that Dayang Zhenren and Maosan Zhenren were also following closely behind, only to see that the mutated chapter body was getting closer and closer to the four of them, as if they were about to crush them.
At this critical moment, the real person rose into the air, swung his sword and slashed at the giant beast, the strength of the late stage of foundation building was really powerful, I saw the giant beast roar wildly, and several tentacles had been cut off.
At this time, the mutant chapter image went completely crazy, and all the tentacles were wrapped around the real person. The impersonation of the real people could not avoid it and was entangled. Dayang Zhenren slashed palm after palm on the tentacles that were entwined with the Mao Scattered Zhenren, but it was obvious that the fight continued.
Qianqian instantly sacrificed the Falling Dust Sword and slashed it over like a tentacle. With a "smack", the mutant chapter body released a few tentacles in pain, and the real person fled quickly when the tentacles were loosened.
"Run, leave it alone, it will release miasma!" Wen Ren Ye Han told everyone to retreat quickly.
When the real person heard that it would release the miasma, he just picked up his life and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Dayang Zhenren roared: "Wait for me." He ran away.
It's unlucky, the mutant octopus finally ran over with Qianqian.
"If you dare to hold a grudge, I will cut off a few of your tentacles and will not forgive me. Qianqian watched the mutant octamod get closer and closer, and suddenly turned around and brewed 3 swords and threw them directly.
I saw that the Golden Phoenix Sword slashed towards the belly of the giant beast, the Teng Snake next to the Wooden Phoenix Sword was the tentacles that wrapped around the giant beast, and the Water Phoenix Sword turned the ground under the giant beast's feet into ice and then spread on the giant beast. And so the beast was trapped. Suddenly grinning his teeth, so unhappy.
At that moment, a black round bead swooped into the beast's mouth. Suddenly, there was a bang in the beast's body, and the flesh exploded.
Qianqian looked at Wen Ren Ye Han in disbelief: "What are you throwing, so powerful." ”
"The Body Explosion Pill, once it is entered, will explode, and it is generally only useful for physical mortals. Jindan monks and above are useless. You go and take out its demon pill, you can sell it for money. Wen Ren Ye said calmly.
Hearing that she could sell it for money, Qianqian ran towards the giant beast at a speed like the wind, and it was tumbling in the black flesh. It didn't take long for a blood-red bead to come out.
"Judging by this appearance, it should be a sixth-level demon pill, which is equivalent to a monk in the later stage of foundation building. Wen Ren Ye Han said.
"Do you want to grade the demon pill?" tell me how many levels there are?" asked Qianqian curiously.
"It's hard to say clearly, it is estimated that after this trial competition, you will be known by the elders of those sects, after all, you killed a sixth-level demon beast. But sometimes someone will invite you to enter their sect to cultivate, and anyone will teach you anything you want to know. I think you can give it a try, after all, it's not easy to do casual practice. Wen Ren Ye Han said seriously.
Qianqian thought that this was an ordinary trial, but it was actually a competition, and when the time came, did you want to see the loot reward? Elder Yuanying didn't say a few words at first, nor did he say the rules, no wonder Qianqian didn't know.
In fact, this trial is a competition, and the leaders of the sect have already acquiesced, and after everyone comes out, they will win or lose according to the spoils. Then those who won the first place were given priority to be included in the sect, and the rest were selected in order according to the size of the force.
