To put it bluntly, the mass grave is an artificially built, intricate cave, which is in the mountain under the feet of the show girls. There are a total of 12 entrances, such as Zi, Chou, Yin, and Mao, and the show girls enter randomly according to the lottery results.

The whole labyrinth is like a huge ant hole, with many branches, and it is difficult to discern the direction. Although there are twelve entrances, there is only one exit, which is located at the foot of the mountain directly below the labyrinth, so once you enter the labyrinth, you just need to keep walking down.

Once all the show girls enter the labyrinth, the entrance is closed, and only the exit is the only way out. The entrance will not be reopened until ten days later, when a team of the Imperial Guards will be responsible for transporting the wounded out and cleaning the labyrinth of corpses.

All the food, supplies, and even weapons and medicines that may be used to break through the level have been stored randomly in various parts of the maze in advance, all over every corner. Some are in obvious locations, while others are hidden in hidden places, and the number is very limited, and only those who are lucky and capable can grab it. It is said that it is normal to not be able to eat a bite for two or three days, so everyone brings their own dry food.

The lottery will be carried out according to the order of registration, and Shen Yaner and others will be ranked at the end. In fact, this is very disadvantageous, because they are taking the same path that many people have walked before, and the supplies on the road may have been robbed long ago. Those with bad intentions will also lay traps on the road, causing those who come after them to lose their troops.

"Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to share resources and work together to get out of the labyrinth? Why do we have to kill each other? While waiting in line to enter, Ah Zhen muttered uneasily.

The mass grave is different from the subsequent duel system promotion, the show girls are not faced with a choice of death or death, and it stands to reason that there should be no phenomenon of attacking each other. But according to the practice of previous years, in fact, the mass grave is the one with the largest number of casualties in the draft process.

Shen Yan'er told her: "You don't know this." Hundreds of folk girls participate in the draft every year, but not all of them go to the position of concubines, but ......"

Because there were other show girls waiting in line around her, Shen Yan'er deliberately lowered her voice when she said this. “…… It's a scavenger who helps the master clear the obstacles, and it's called 'sweeping the mother' in the black language. ”

Seeing Ah Zhen's puzzled expression, Shen Yan'er continued: "Do you think those famous beauties who rushed to participate in the draft for the queen's position from the beginning will fight alone?" As the saying goes, a good man has three gangs, and a fence has three piles. Behind a prospective queen, there are many helpers with unique skills. ”

The purpose of these helpers, known as sweeping girls, to participate in the draft is not to enter the palace as concubines, but to have two other main tasks: one is to help the master explore the way and let the master reach the exit as much as possible; The second is to eliminate the show girl who may become the master's rival after being eliminated in the mass grave.

The draft of the Phoenix Dynasty is a matter of life and death for the show girls, and all the show girls from famous families will be fully prepared in advance. The imperial court was also well aware of this, but acquiesced in this behavior. After all, there is an inseparable connection between the wealthy family and the royal family, and the imperial court also hopes that more celebrities and beauties will enter the palace.

These stories were all overheard by Shen Yan'er when she listened to the chatter of the restaurant guests in the past. She doesn't know how much is true and how much is false, so she just talks casually.

"It's so unfair!" The simple and kind Ah Zhen was surprised.

Shen Yan'er said indifferently: "Being reincarnated is also one of the skills." ”

Seeing that she was about to reach the entrance, Ah Zhen grabbed Shen Yan'er's arm and asked anxiously, "Then miss, do you have any countermeasures?" We're followed by a Hu man. Besides, she had already revealed her bottom when she signed up, everyone knew that she was as light as a swallow and her martial arts were world-renowned, and she must have been targeted by Sweeping Niang to be killed! ”

"You see he's not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Shen Yan'er grabbed Ah Zhen, who was screaming and pale, and pointed to Xiao Hei, who was calm and calm beside her.

After listening to Shen Yan'er's words just now, Xiao Hei was still expressionless, unflustered, and knew at a glance that he was confident, which was not the psychological quality that ordinary people have, so Shen Yan'er decided to believe in his ability.

"Ah Zhen, listen to me, after entering the mass grave later, we will follow behind that woman......" Shen Yan'er pointed to the big beauty in front of them, who was more than ten people away. She is the most gorgeously dressed, the most delicate in appearance, and the most arrogant in the nearby crowd, Shen Yan'er guessed that she must be the daughter of the family.

This kind of aristocratic lady participates in the draft, and the family must have helped her a long time ago, not only is there bodyguards around her, but there are spies on the periphery to explore the way, and there are more than ten or twenty sweepers who jump out and charge into battle, maybe even the map is memorized.

"Uh-huh." Ah Zhen nodded vigorously and secretly gave a thumbs up and praised, "My eldest lady is a jack of all trades, and there is no problem that can be difficult for you." ”

At this time, Xiao Hei, who had been silent, glanced at them with a slightly disdainful gaze, and the look in the language was clearly translated as a sentence "This woman is very adulterous."

After sending off the last batch of show girls, only the majestic Imperial Forest Army and King Ning Phoenix Nanhua were left in the open space outside the entrance. It darkened faster in the mountains, and before evening the sky became gloomy, and the howling mountain wind blew cold and painful on the face.

The registration deadline is closed, and the martial arts test begins. It stands to reason that Phoenix Nanhua, who has completed the task, should go home, why is it still blowing cold wind on the mountain? The Imperial Guards were also in full array, standing tall and straight, like a pole stuck on the top of the mountain, without a trace of slackness.

And so it went by. When the sky was already dark and there was not a ray of sunshine, suddenly a small team of horses galloped along the mountain road. The sound of horses' hooves echoed in the empty mountains and forests, spreading into the distance, adding a little bit of loneliness and murder.

As soon as the leader of the horse team flashed the sign, the guards immediately gave way. The horse team galloped straight in front of Phoenix Nanhua, and the leader dismounted and saluted, carrying a birdcage-shaped thing covered with black cloth in front of Phoenix Nanhua.

"Lord Qiqi. I have already brought the Beast of Trials from the Wizard, and I ask the prince to take a look. The leader respectfully presented the black cage.

Phoenix Nanhua gently lifted the corner of the black cloth with his fingertips, tilted his head and looked inside. Perhaps stimulated by the light, a small black shadow inside immediately squeaked.

The cry was sharp and fierce, and the black shadow kept beating the cage with its wings, as if it was about to rush out. Phoenix Nanhua couldn't help but take half a step back, waved his hand in disgust, and said, "Okay, okay, hurry up and put it in." ”

"Yes." The leader turned and walked to the nearest entrance to a mass grave.

One of the guards stepped forward to open the stone door for him, opening a small crack. He aligned the opening of the cage with the gap and gently pulled it apart. Hearing the sound of "fluttering", the black shadow in the cage flapped its wings and flew into the dark cave.

The eerie "squeak" screams echoed through the cave and were chilling. This is where the real trial begins......
