Chapter 14: The Land of Trials
Zhang Liang stayed quietly in the darkness, and he couldn't feel where the people who went in front of him were. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The silence around was terrifying, there was no sound, and Zhang Liang could only hear his own breathing.
After a while, a dazzling white light suddenly lit up all around. Zhang Liang was stimulated by the bright light and subconsciously closed his eyes. When he felt the light no longer so intense through his eyelids, and carefully squinted his eyes to look around, the scenery changed world.
Zhang Liang found himself standing on a grassy field, the height of the tender grass was no longer than the upper of his shoes. The breeze blew his bearded face, and the sound of murmuring water beside him was also carried out. He looked around, and a small river not too wide on the left was crystal clear and meandering into the distance.
The sky is high and the clouds are wide, and the green grass is boundless.
Zhang Liang stretched out his fingers and pinched his face, it was quite painful.
Faced with this sudden change in the scene, Zhang Liang rubbed his eyebrows and sat on the ground and began to think.
Zhang Liang is actually a person who likes to use his brain. There were quite a few people of his age who were stronger than him in the village, after all, he was not very strong. There are many more experienced people than him in touching the forest, because Zhang Liang is not a pure mountain man - he has been studying in the county town for five or six years. But Zhang Liang knows how to use his brain, and he is very good at thinking. He didn't know where this habit came from, but it did make him win everyone's unanimous approval and become the core of his peers' admiration.
He was now carefully calculating his strengths and weaknesses.
First, he felt that he was the most confused trialist, and he knew almost nothing about the world of this "special person".
Second, he doesn't know what everyone's abilities are, if he can fight like a cadre or manipulate space like Mr. Xiang, then there is no fight, and he has almost no chance of winning.
Third, he didn't know what level his ability to manipulate the Chixiao Sword could be. What will be the effect. After all, his physical fitness seems to be inferior to that of an extremely unconfident little monk.
Fourth, he didn't know what the jade gold fruit was, and he didn't have a clue where to get it.
Fifth, he summed up so much that he didn't find any point that counted as his advantage.
Zhang Liang lay on the grass with his face on his back crying, he felt that his future was bleak. Lying down, Zhang Liang felt a trace of abnormality in his heart.
Something seems to be wrong. What's wrong? What made him feel a little disagreeable.
Zhang Liang lay quietly motionless, but his eyes were wide open and flashing. Blue sky, white clouds, rivers, green spaces, earth.
Earth!
Zhang Liang's heart pounded. He sensed that he didn't smell the slightest smell of earth. As a person who has been dealing with mountains all year round, he smells this smell no less than the smell of rice.
Zhang Liang turned over with a carp, pouted his ass and began to dig up the soil.
Sure enough, the soil didn't have the slightest flavor it should have. Incidentally, he discovered that the green grass growing on the soil did not have any herbaceous taste.
Zhang Liang's expression changed quickly.
Either the soil and grass here are special,
Either that, or the world isn't real!
Zhang Liang came to his own conclusions. The little villager was a little excited, and he felt that he was accumulating some advantages. In order to verify how unreal the world really is, he immediately did several more things.
First, he summoned Chiyo to cut his fingers.
Then he plunged his head into the river.
In the end, he buried himself alive!
Zhang Liang, who had finished doing it one by one, continued to sit on the ground with his legs open like a dustpan. His heart was filled with excitement.
Cutting his finger made him feel a little stupid. After all, he had already pinched himself when he first arrived here, proving that he could hurt himself completely.
However, the results of the two experiments of choking water and burying him alive made him very excited. The river and mud would make him feel a little uncomfortable when they first entered his body, but it was only uncomfortable, and it didn't turn into terrible consequences.
Zhang Liang's eyes were clear. It seems that only the trialists can cause harm to each other, and the danger created by taking advantage of this environment does not cause any damage.
He thought about it for a while and understood the intention behind this, the intention of the mountain introduction trial is to select talents, and it is not a dangerous place of life and death, there is no need to do even the extent that illusory water can drown people.
In front of the Phantom Gold Tower.
Lu Zun and Zhuge Xi were looking condescendingly into the distance. Dozens of people who had entered the tower appeared sporadically on the vast plain at the foot of the mountain.
"What is that kid doing?" Zhuge Xi suddenly noticed Zhang Liang's strange behavior. He pulled out a hexagonal crystal from his bosom and threw it out. The crystals suddenly dispersed in the air with a faint halo, and suddenly connected into a half-human-high light curtain, in which Zhang Liang's figure was delicately revealed.
Lu Zun squinted his eyes, and the turtle was plunging into the river, and he didn't look up.
"Hell knows. Practice breath-holding? Lu Zun replied angrily.
Not much, under the gaze of the four people and one demon, Zhang Liang began to dig a pit in the ground again. Just when everyone didn't know why, they saw this dirt bun pouting his buttocks, slowly sticking his head into the soil pit he dug, and quickly pulling the dirt mounds on both sides with both hands, and burying his head tightly.
"This 。。。。。。" A man behind Zhuge Xi was dumbfounded, "Is he playing with his head!" ”
"Are you crazy?" The other man shook his head in disbelief, he couldn't guess why a person who participated in such an important trial would have the heart to do such a strange act.
Lu Zun's eyes were straight at first, but slowly it had other ideas. Lu Zun's clear eyes flashed with a little disbelief: "This kid! ”
"This kid seems to have seen through your phantom array." Zhuge Xi suddenly opened his mouth and exclaimed, "I really don't know how he guessed that the phantom array didn't hurt people. But this test is really 。。。。。。。 ”
Zhuge Xi looked at the ass that was still pouting in the air, and his eyes smiled into two curved crescents.
Lu Zun snorted coldly and muttered, "There's a fart." The trial is a phantom golden fruit, not a brain. ”
"I remember that in the past mountain introduction Xiaobi, he was the first one who could find the phantom array so quickly and not hurt people." Zhuge Xi looked at Lu Zun playfully.
Lu Zun snorted and didn't comment, and Zhuge Xi smiled and didn't ask anymore.
Zhang Liangxing was busy in a hurry, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned while being happy. It seems that knowing that this world is illusory, it doesn't help much to find the Jade Gold Fruit right now! Zhang Liang shook his head with a wry smile and looked into the distance.
In the distance, where the river meanders, a few tall trees can be faintly discerned. Zhang Liang's eyes condensed, and he walked over there with his legs.
The trunk of a three-man tall tree was pulled out of the dirt, and its branches were green like a huge canopy, dotted with a few golden rays of light scattered on it.
Zhang Liang stood under the tree, secretly guessing that the thing that shone with golden light was probably the jade gold fruit. He was not pretentious, spat on his palms and rubbed a few times, and then climbed up the trunk.
He did this a lot, and he crawled very fast. In a few breaths he was on the canopy.
The jade gold fruit is the size of a ping pong ball, and the whole body is turquoise, but it shines with a brilliant golden light. Zhang Liang took one off, and when he pinched it in his hand, it was still soft and elastic.
"I don't know if I can eat it." Zhang Liang muttered to himself. He didn't have the courage to really eat it, after all, everything here Zhang Liang was very unfamiliar with. If this thing is highly poisonous, then it is too late for him to regret it.
He gently pressed the jade gold fruit in his hand on the golden talisman on his chest, and the jade gold fruit slowly melted into it and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief in admiration, and immediately turned around and began to pick other fruits. There are not many jade gold fruits on the tree, and there are only more than ten of them, and Zhang Liang has already picked them in less than three minutes.
Looks like we're going to find the next fruit tree. Zhang Liang thought happily secretly. It doesn't seem like this trial was too difficult.
Just as he jumped down with his hands hanging on the thick branches, a man with an excited face ran a few meters away and rushed to the bottom of the tree, and met Zhang Liang who fell from the sky, looking at each other.
The excited look of this uninvited guest instantly sank, and Zhang Liang's heart tightened suddenly.
"The jade gold fruit was accepted by you?" The man asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Liang leaned against the tree and nodded slightly.
The man's eyes became cold, and he clasped his hands into fists and said coldly: "That's really sorry, I am bound to get the jade gold fruit." Sanyin Zhao Mingyang, please advise! ”
