Chapter 5: The Trial of Truth and Falsehood
But he said that in this world, only people yearn for cultivating immortals, and no one wants to fall into demons.
Born in a small ravine, Yi Xiaonian had only heard that demons were a group of people who represented murder, bloodthirstiness, greed, and hatred. No one has ever seen what the demon looks like. I don't know that demons also have a set of cultivation systems, an organized group.
When immortals and demons come to people at the same time, as long as it is not the era of looking at faces, people can't tell the difference.
In their eyes, as long as they can practice, it must be a good thing.
There is still some time before the time, and Yi Xiaonian is ready to go. Packed the elf egg and put it in his arms, and ran wildly towards the Eclipse Forest with the oil lamp.
Approaching the forest immediately, Yi Xiaonian looked around and didn't know which road to enter, because there was no road in this forest at all. I had to run straight forward little by little, go in first, and look for it as I went.
After walking about two kilometers, Yi Xiaonian felt that it was almost there, it should be nearby, so he picked up the oil lamp and looked around, but found no holes. After another kilometer to the north and another two kilometers to the south, I began to sweat.
This brick-moving face won't deceive, right?
Haha, anyway, the elf egg didn't ask for money, so let's look for it.
The Eclipse Forest is a primeval forest, overgrown with tall trees, many streams and ravines, damp, covered with moss at the lows, moss at the roots, and vines, all of which grow very tall and grow around the trees.
Yi Xiaonian walks in the mountains all year round, and is familiar with the roads of the mountains and forests, and it is easy to run.
Yi Xiaonian was running and jumping while walking in the forest, and occasionally the vines stumbled and almost fell.
After walking a kilometer north, he found that he had returned to the original point, and when it was already past the moment, Yi Xiaonian looked up at the gray and couldn't see anything, and he didn't find anything special, so he stayed in a daze.
Suddenly, a black shadow came out from the southwest, like a person but couldn't see clearly, and three seconds later, it ran to the northwest again, and I didn't know what to do. Yi Xiaonian looked at it, threw away the oil lamp, and chased all the way towards the black shadow.
After chasing for about a few minutes, Yi Xiaonian fell into a pit with a plop, reached out and grabbed a vine in a hurry, and hung in the hole.
Yi Xiaonian took a look at the entrance of this cave, which can accommodate three people, and the hole is very deep, and it is impossible to reach the end.
This is the coral cave, Yi Xiaonian climbed down, and he didn't work hard to climb more than ten meters before hitting the bottom.
There is a faint light in the cave, it may be that someone has placed the oil lamps in advance, there is a lack of air, each oil lamp is not bright enough, and they want to extinguish it sickly, and they stick to the wall, and place one every three or four meters, leading to the depths of the cave.
Yi Xiaonian touched the wall of the cave and walked more than ten meters inside, turned left and right two corners, and arrived at a brighter place, this place is relatively spacious, you can hold a small party, there is an iron door next to it, there is no lock, and the chain is discarded aside. Yi Xiaonian opened the iron door and found that it was a larger hole, which was a little brighter than the outside, still darker, but much better. There is a circle of oil lamps hung on the four walls of the hole, there is a pool of black water in the middle of the hole, the size of a small swimming pool, there is a round platform in the middle of the black water, and there is a wooden cage standing on the platform, more than one person high, and the cage contains a living creature, covered with a white cloth, and it is moving.
This is the trial. Yi Xiaonian didn't say a word, took out his slingshot, wrapped 3 projectiles in his four-eyelid pocket, only heard three swishing sounds, the white cloth was blown away, and the living creatures covered by the white cloth were also exposed.
It's a person! or a human form!
Covered with bruises and shaggy hair, he lay on the ground, dying, like a prisoner.
Since it's a trial of cultivating immortals, it must be a monster, the note said, the wolf demon, transform into a human form, it won't be wrong.
"Hey, that's not right!" he muttered in his heart, "Why was this wolf demon locked up? Could someone be robbing me of business? Haha, master, I'm so lucky, as soon as I came, I was locked down by others and hit him directly, whoever hit him!"
Kill him, and the trial is complete!
The humanoid "ah" shook and began to moan, Yi Xiaonian didn't use much force, the pain was not to death, if it was a wolf demon, it would be time to show the prototype.
Ahh
Scammed!
It was too late, and the platform in the middle of the black water began to collapse, and the man fell into the black water and disappeared in an instant. It turned out that the wooden cage was hung on the platform by a thin rope, which was not visible to the naked eye in the dim cave, only 0.01 cm away from the platform, and it looked like the box was standing on the platform, and the base of the cage had been sawed off part of it in advance, as long as the person used a little force, the base would fall. The platform under the cage is made of a layer of papier-mâché foam, which breaks when touched.
Yi Xiaonian was terrified, "Mom, I killed someone!" Hurry up to save people, Yi Xiaonian put on a swimming posture and jumped down, but the black water has condensed into a gelatinous shape, Yi Xiaonian fell a dog and ate, but it didn't hurt so much, he shot a few times with a slingshot, and the projectile hit the black water, without any waves.
Yi Xiaonian fell to his knees, grief-stricken, and cried loudly.
Although he did not kill the man directly, but the man died because of him.
At this moment, I only heard the red elf egg in Yi Xiaonian's arms with a "creaking" sound of breaking the shell, turning into a flying blood-red elf and flying out, emitting fluorescence, the two wings flickered, and the elf's appearance was a little fierce, with a few sharp and slender teeth.
The shape and size are no different from the white elves, the size of the palm.
Yi Xiaonian watched the blood elf fly, fly over his head, fly over this pool of black water, stay above the person who fell into the water, use its tiny arm to cast a spell, form a glowing silk thread, probe into the black water, and then there is a steady stream of red blood sucked up, this elf opened its fangs and mouth, and sucked it greedily.
This is by no means an immortal cultivator, this is a demon!
Anger didn't come anywhere, Yi Xiaonian picked up a slingshot and shot at the demon elf unscrupulously, but the elf easily dodged it, and he didn't stop sucking at all, which made him helpless.
This elf was full, his face was crimson, and he was satisfied, so he flew to Yi Xiaonian's shoulder, dancing with his hands, and circling in a leisurely circle, no matter how Yi Xiaonian drove away, it was useless.
The angry Yi Xiaonian blew at it, and she also learned from Yi Xiaonian to puff up her cheeks and blow at Yi Xiaonian.
At that moment, a dark figure emerged from outside the iron gate with applause and walking. There should be a few more oil lamps at the iron gate, and the light was brighter, Yi Xiaonian could see clearly, and his clothes were the black shadows he encountered in the forest. The black figure was black, wearing a hooded trench coat that covered his face, and all he could see was a white chin and red lips like rose petals.
"Welcome newcomers...... Join the Demon Realm!" was a man's voice, with a slight pause in the middle of his voice, and as he spoke, he reached out and lifted his hat, this man was about 25 years old.
I saw that he had a pair of black pupils like eagle eyes, sharp eyes, and a high nose bridge.
