Chapter 4: Trials

"Test, how can there be a test?" Chen Yu's face suddenly became bitter.

Ming Canghai rolled his eyes and said: "Isn't what you said nonsense, just now I said that I wanted to accept you as an apprentice, you hesitated, but now you want to apprentice, how can it be so easy!"

Chen Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then secretly slandered in his heart: "This person looks so serious, why is he so naïve......" Is this not clear that he is taking revenge on Chen Yu's hesitation just now!

But no matter how much slander he had in his heart, Chen Yu didn't show an angry look on his face, the master acted eclecticly, not to mention that he was suspicious of others just now?

The main thing now is to figure out exactly what the test is.

"What kind of test?" Chen Yu asked directly.

Seeing that Chen Yu did not complain, nor did he have a trace of impatience, Ming Canghai nodded with satisfaction.

However, he did not answer Chen Yu's inquiry directly, but changed the topic and said: "It's still early before dawn, let's sleep for a while, this test can only be carried out during the day......"

With that, he extinguished the flames and turned and walked into the shadows where he had been.

Seeing this, Chen Yu had no choice but to press down on the question, returned to the smooth stone where he was lying before, lay on the stone, and looked at the bright starry sky, Chen Yu clenched his fists and closed his eyes with hope for the future.

......

"Hey, wake up, our mission is about to begin!"

The deafening sound kept echoing in Chen Yu's ears, which made Chen Yu, who was sleepy, frown, he turned over, changed to a more comfortable position and fell asleep again.

But the voice in his ears was still chattering, it seemed that Chen Yu didn't open his eyes, the sound didn't seem to stop, and finally, Chen Yu opened his eyes suddenly, sat up directly, and roared: "What is the noise, so that people don't sleep...... What's going on?"

Chen Yu was stunned before he finished speaking, his surroundings were already completely different, he was originally lying on the stone and was put on the ground at some point, he was still in a forest yesterday, but now he is on a flat mountain.

Chen Yu's sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden, he stood up and looked at the huge mountain that suddenly appeared in front of him.

The giant mountain is dozens of zhang high, the mountain shape is steep, thousands of ravines and thousands of cliffs, but this is not the place for Chen Yu to stay, what he is really shocked is that as the sun rises to the top of the mountain range, the sun shines directly on the mountain, and a shining halo surrounds the giant mountain, just like a silver ring directly on the giant mountain, which looks extremely strange.

"How's that, shock. Just when Chen Yu was secretly surprised, Ming Canghai's voice came from his side.

Chen Yu turned his head to look, Ming Canghai, who was wearing a purple shirt, stood beside him at some point, Chen Yu's eyes were a little strange, why did this old man change his clothes after only one night?

"Shock is shock, but why are you bringing me here?" Chen Yu didn't care about these questions, but asked curiously towards Ming Canghai.

When Ming Canghai heard this, he put his hands behind his back and said, "Didn't you say it yesterday? If you want to worship me as a teacher, you must pass my test first, otherwise I won't accept you as ......an apprentice."

Chen Yu looked around, except for the mountains and forests in front of him, there seemed to be nothing else, could it be that the test was in this mountain range?

As if seeing what Chen Yu was thinking, Ming Canghai raised his head at the forest in front of the mountain range and said, "You're right, the test I prepared for you is in this Silver Ring Mountain Range?"

In this mountain range, Chen Yu frowned and looked at the Silver Ring Mountain Range, except for the somewhat peculiar landscape, there seemed to be no other special features in this mountain range.

"Senior, can you give me a specific explanation of what this test is?" Chen Yu asked, licking his face.

"Don't worry, I'll give you things first......" Ming Canghai waved his hand and interrupted Chen Yu's words. I saw that the golden ring on his right hand lit up slightly, and two things appeared in his hand, a jade box and a piece of paper that looked a little damaged, which made Chen Yu's eyes light slightly, the hidden ring, this is a good thing.

Ming Canghai handed these things to Chen Yu, and Chen Yu took them with a puzzled expression, not knowing what Ming Canghai meant.

After Ming Canghai handed the things to Chen Yu, he opened his mouth to explain: "Listen, my test is very simple, you just need to find me a fruit called Snake Yang Fruit in this Silver Ring Mountain Range, the paper in your hand indicates where the Snake Yang Fruit is, you just need to follow the instructions on the paper to help me get the Snake Yang Fruit, even if you pass this test." ”

Listening to Ming Canghai say the test in an understated tone, Chen Yu was a little numb in his scalp, this Yinhuan Mountain Range is not only a wonderful landscape, from the mountain range faintly heard the sound of beast roaring, Chen Yu knew that there was definitely the existence of demon beasts in this Yinhuan Mountain Range, this demon beast is also like human cultivation, with a hierarchy, but their level division is extremely simple, from the first order to the ninth order, corresponding to the cultivation realm of human beings, the first-order demon beast is equivalent to the cultivation of the human mortal realm, the second order corresponds to the spiritual mirror, and so on。

Chen Yu knew in his heart that such a large mountain range was likely to have high-level demon beasts, and it was no different from looking for death if he entered the fivefold cultivation of his mortal realm!

Ming Canghai saw that Chen Yu didn't speak, so he patted Chen Yu's shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't worry, there won't be a problem, this snake yang fruit is on the periphery of the mountain range, and it is very secretive, there will be no high-level demon beasts, oh, by the way, this one forgot to give it to you......"

Chen Yu watched blankly as Ming Canghai took out a sharp long knife from the hidden ring, and then handed it into his hand. In this regard, Chen Yu could only secretly scold in his heart: "I believe you are a ghost, you are a bad old man, don't you say that there is no danger? What are you doing with this long knife for me......?"

Ming Canghai saw that Chen Yu hadn't set off yet, thinking that he was scared, so he said lightly: "The path of cultivation is extremely difficult, and if you are not careful, you may not recover, which requires you to have perseverance and the courage to not be afraid of danger, if you have been so cringe, it will be difficult for you to go far on the path of cultivation in the future......

Chen Yu was silent, he was indeed a little scared, there were countless demon beasts in this mountain range, and he could only compete with the demon beasts in the middle of the first order at most, and even the demon beasts in the late stage of the first order could easily kill him, when he was hunting in the spring, he was accompanied by guards, but now he was let walk into this mountain range alone, could he not be afraid?

Just when Chen Yu was still a little hesitant, Ming Canghai's next sentence made him decide.

"The exercises I want to teach you need to be cultivated with some herb fruits, and the Snake Yang Fruit is one of them, so this is not only a test of your courage, but also a matter of whether you can practice this exercise in the future, you can make your own decisions......

In the end, Chen Yu still carried the long knife behind him and walked into the forest in the mountains alone, he didn't care how far he could cultivate in the future, but as long as it was something that could avenge himself and help, he would do whatever it was, and Chen Yu, who was a little naïve and cowardly before, should not appear in this world again.

......

After entering the forest, watching the sunlight leak through the gaps in the leaves, forming dots on the ground, smelling the fresh air, Chen Yu sighed in his heart, if it weren't for the roar of the demon beast in his ears, there would be a different flavor here.

Although Chen Yu made up his mind in his heart, he inevitably had a trace of uneasiness in his heart, he followed the marks on the paper, and did not dare to deviate a step, it was better for him to be honest in this strength, if he accidentally stepped into the territory of a high-level demon beast, he would not know how to die, although cultivation requires the courage to move forward, but bravery does not mean recklessness, and Chen Yu will not do this kind of stupid thing rashly impulsive.

According to the marks on the paper, Chen Yu didn't touch any demon beasts, it seems that the marks on the paper avoided all the demon beasts, which made Chen Yu breathe a sigh of relief, Chen Yu walked for about half a pillar of incense, and then arrived at the place marked on the paper, but he didn't see any snake yang fruit, Chen Yu scratched his head, and carefully looked at the place marked on the paper, yes here, but there is nothing here, the paper also painted the appearance of the snake yang fruit, if there is, Chen Yu can see it at a glance, but there is indeed nothing here。

Chen Yu cautiously probed around, and when he pushed aside a bush, Chen Yu's eyes lit up and he found it!

Behind the grass there is a dwarf tree that is only the height of Chen Yu's calf, the dwarf tree is bare, without a leaf, but at the tips of the two branches of the dwarf tree hang two vermilion fruits the size of half a fist, this fruit is really gorgeous, the color is vermilion, and the skin of the fruit has layers of golden python patterns, which looks extremely bewitching, and it is extremely conspicuous in this green sea.

The breeze was blowing, the snake yang fruit shook slightly, it seemed that it would fall to the ground in the next second, Chen Yu looked around, and made sure that there was no danger, so he carefully walked to the dwarf tree, ready to pick off the two snake yang fruits and put them in the jade box, but just when Chen Yu's hand just touched the snake yang fruit, a change occurred.

Shout!

I only heard a sound of breaking the sky, a black shadow rushed out of the grass on the other side of the low tree, and slammed into Chen Yu, Chen Yu's pupils shrank, and his reaction was extremely fast, his body quickly turned to the side, and the black shadow that would have directly hit Chen Yu's chest grazed his left arm, Chen Yu suddenly felt a hot pain in his left arm, the black shadow seemed to have an extremely sharp thing, and his left arm had an extremely deep wound, and blood also spilled out of it.

Chen Yu looked at the black shadow coldly, the black shadow also landed and stopped, Chen Yu saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly, the black shadow was as tall as half of Chen Yu's body, with gray hair all over his body, similar to a cow, but there was a sharp tentacle on his forehead, it seemed that the wound on Chen Yu's left arm was caused by this tentacle!

Chen Yu recognized this demon beast, this demon beast was called Shi Xuan Beast, it was a third-order demon beast young beast, but now looking at the size of the Shi Xuan Beast, it is estimated that it is still underage, at most it only has the appearance of a first order, and it looks similar to his strength, in the middle of the first order, otherwise just now, Chen Yu would not be able to hide at all.

Shi Xuan's front hooves rubbed vigorously on the ground, his nose was panting, and he stared at Chen Yu viciously, this guy dared to enter his territory without authorization, he was really looking for death.

Chen Yu had some knowledge in his heart, it seemed that the test that Ming Canghai said was this, but fortunately, it was still in the situation that he could deal with, Chen Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, he put his hand on the handle of the knife behind him, and moved his right foot forward, while paying attention to the actions of the stone beast, the battle between the two was about to break out!
