Volume 2: SAARC Rebellion Chapter 19: The Land of Challenge
After learning about the trial from Wang Ming, Deng Twelve also settled down here.
There are more than 20 wooden houses in total, but not all of them are inhabited.
Many of the cabins were empty, and they had failed in this mantis trial, and the losers were expelled from the dark forest.
The Mantis Trial is very difficult, not only because it involves countless battles, but also because of the most difficult of these requirements, the participants are not allowed to fail in this trial.
In this challenge to the mantis trial of one hundred and eight tribes in the dark deep forest, the participants took their own mantis source beasts to challenge in turn.
In every battle, you face an opponent of the same level, and you can't lose every battle.
If you fail once, the mantis trial is over.
The mantis source pet owned by the source pet master lost the qualification to continue the mantis trial, and no longer had the opportunity to enter the mantis ancestral land to obtain the opportunity.
This rule is quite cruel to the source pet masters and their praying mantis source pets who come from the outside world.
Because this means that every mantis source beast from the outside world has one and only one chance to participate in the mantis trial in its lifetime, and one qualification to enter the mantis ancestral land.
And once such an opportunity is missed, it will never have the opportunity to experience these things again in this life.
It's just that this rule still has relative goodwill for the source pet master.
That is, after the source pet master failed in the first mantis trial, he can actually participate in the second time.
Because in the Praying Mantis Trial, the actual participants are the mantis source pets of the source pet masters, and it is also these mantis source pets who lose their qualifications after failure.
For the Source Pet Master, if you want to continue to participate in the Mantis Trial for the second time, you only need to use another Mantis Source Pet to participate.
Such rules have great drawbacks for those praying mantis source pets.
Then if you meet a source pet master who must enter the mantis ancestral land, then once the mantis source pet who signed a contract with him fails in the mantis trial, it is very likely to be abandoned by the master.
Those source pet masters may re-contract a new mantis source pet in order to enter the mantis ancestral land, and as for the original one, it is very likely that the contract will be terminated by the source pet master.
Although the forcible termination of the contract by the Source Pet Master is also a kind of damage to itself, it will cause the soul eye that was once occupied by the contract to be severely damaged in a short period of time, and it will no longer be able to use the contract position there to sign a contract with the Source Beast.
But this is an active lifting after all, and it will not cause a heavy blow to the entire soul of the source pet master like the death of the source pet.
Therefore, in this case, there are still many people who will be willing to automatically terminate the contract and sign a new source pet contract.
For such behavior, Deng Twelve is not cold, but he will not pay much attention to it.
What others do is someone else's business, and he just needs to take care of himself.
For Deng Twelve, he will definitely not abandon any of his source pets, of course, 1121 must be removed here.
Although the ability that 1121 is showing now makes Deng Twelve a little unstoppable, no matter what, he doesn't know 1121's various information and true purpose.
This is a big hidden danger for him.
Therefore, if one day Deng Twelve discovers that the true purpose of 1121 will be detrimental to him, then he will definitely not scruple about anything, and he must terminate the contract with it on the spot.
Deng Twelve, who knew the rules, also separated from Wang Ming, and chose one of the unoccupied wooden houses in the open space.
There are a total of 25 wooden houses in this area, of which 16 are occupied, and 9 are empty.
And Deng Twelve naturally chose one of the nine empty wooden houses, an empty wooden house near the middle of the entire wooden house.
When you open the door and enter, you will see a wooden bed and a small wooden table, on which there are cups, teapots and other utensils used by predecessors.
Deng Twelve cleaned up the house at will, and simply piled up the useless things left by his predecessors in a corner.
Then he took out the futon, tea set, and a source energy lamp from his spatial ring.
He didn't know where these things came from, but he found them in a spatial ring on his body, so he took them out and used them.
He doesn't care who used it, the source pet master is outside, sleeping in the open is a common thing, and now there is a wooden house that can shelter him from the wind and rain, which is already good.
After tidying up, a pair of patterns embroidered with various small source beasts have been laid on the bed, and these patterns all have one characteristic, that is, cute, buddy.
After getting everything done, Deng Twelve sat on the bed, and in the shadow behind him, a dark figure emerged from it.
At this time, the dark body was still covered with hideous scars and bloodstains, but the blood in those wounds had stopped, and the wounds had begun to scab.
In this way, it won't take long for these injuries to heal, and it must be a matter of the past few days to recover to their peak condition.
This made Deng Twelve couldn't help but sigh, the insect attribute source beast recovered quickly, especially after secretly reaching the four-star insect attribute talent, the recovery speed of the injuries suffered on the body was faster than before.
Such a recovery speed, if it were placed on a source beast of other attributes, would be unthinkable, unless that source beast received some information, or used a high-grade healing elixir.
And Dark, since the battle, has not had time to take healing elixirs or receive treatment, and the time that has passed is only an hour.
In addition to sighing, Deng Twelve still took out a bottle of four-star healing elixir from the space ring and used it secretly.
In this way, Dark's recovery speed will be faster, and in this place of trials that rely on strength challenges, it is the best choice to restore Dark to its peak state as soon as possible.
As for the four-star healing elixir, there are still thirteen bottles in Deng Twelve's hand now, and in his opinion, although the quantity is not much, it can still be used, so he doesn't care about such consumption.
Although a bottle of four-star healing elixir is 50,000 gold coins, this is really nothing to him.
After all, what is the elixir for? Isn't it just for use, and what's the use of putting it there like an ornament?
Besides, whether or not these four-star elixirs cost him money to buy them, he naturally wouldn't care.
These healing elixirs were all obtained from others after the battle of the Flame Auction, a total of fourteen bottles.
Because I just used one bottle for the dark, the current number is thirteen bottles.
After secretly using this bottle of four-star healing elixir and returning to the shadow of his master, Deng Twelve also got up from the bed, pushed open the wooden door and walked out.
Outside the door is still that sunny world, but for Deng Twelve, he always feels that this place is a little out of place with the dark and deep forest.
Next to the clearing, Wang Ming was standing not far in front of the wooden house selected by Deng Twelve, waving his right hand high.
Beside him, it was still the storm mantis that had reached the limit of three stars, standing silently aside.
Deng Twelve, who walked out of the house, walked towards Wang Ming, and when he was beside him, Wang Ming stopped waving his right hand and said with a smile: "How is it, do you have daily necessities or anything?"
Deng Twelve nodded and said, "Everything is okay, let's go, didn't you say that you would take me to the Challenge Land to see?"
Seeing Deng Twelve speak, Wang Ming patted his head and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain, let's go, Brother Twelve, I'll take you to see the core of this mantis trial." ”
With that, Wang Ming turned around and walked towards the east, and from there he broke away from this place of trial and entered the normal dark and deep forest.
Seeing this, Deng Twelve also followed, he also wanted to see what this challenging place for mantis trials would look like.
In this way, the two of them walked one after the other, on a path in the dark and deep forest.
And walking here, Deng Twelve felt that this place was indeed a dark and deep forest, and that kind of damp and cold feeling was the characteristic of a dark and deep forest.
As for the so-called trial place before, no matter how you look at it, it feels like another place, which makes people feel abnormal.
The two of them walked through a path unique to the dark deep forest, and then came to an even more bizarre location.
This place is the same as the previous place of trial, it is composed of a large clearing, but although this place is an open space, it still maintains the unique landscape of the dark and deep forest, and the sunlight or nothing exists.
Deng Twelve looked up, and then he knew what was going on here.
Although this clearing is like the Land of Trials, there are no trees growing in it, so it is impossible to rely on its own branches and leaves to block the sun.
However, the biggest difference between this place and the land of trials is that the trees around the clearing grow taller and more prosperous.
Countless branches and leaves extend in all directions, curvading in a circular arc in the sky above, and finally intersecting the branches and leaves of the trees on all sides, forming a semicircular green barrier in the sky.
This barrier, when viewed from below, is recessed in the middle, like a circle that has been cut open, covering the sky in general.
It is precisely because of the growth of this amazing forest that this place is special.
In a place where there are no trees, the sun is still blocked by the foliage, maintaining the climate that has always been present here.
Seeing Deng Twelve's state at this time, Wang Ming turned around and said with a smile: "It's amazing, when I first came here to see this scene, I was stunned like you for a long time, and I couldn't say anything except the word in my mouth."
If you really respond to that sentence, if you are uneducated, no matter how magical and magnificent the landscape is, you can't describe it in any words except for awesomeness. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Ming couldn't help but smile, as if he remembered what he looked like when he first came here.
Deng Twelve withdrew his gaze from the ghostly scenery above, looked at Wang Ming, and said calmly: "This is the place of challenge?"
Wang Ming nodded, pointed to the open space not far away, and said: "This place is the place of challenge, all of us who participate in the mantis trial, if we want to fight or challenge, we must do it in this place." ”
As he spoke, a tall human was walking towards the middle of the clearing, at the edge of the deep forest, followed by a red praying mantis.
The man and the praying mantis soon came to the middle position, and at this time, a gray mantis shaped like a withered mantis came out of the side, and also came to the middle position.
After the red and gray mantis saluted each other, the tall man retreated some distance behind him.
At this time, there were only these two mantis source beasts left on the field, and they each took a fighting posture and were ready to fight at any time.
But after such a period of time, they did not make a move, and Deng Twelve was a little puzzled.
But it wasn't until he saw a four-star mantis source beast slowly walking out not far away that he knew what the situation was.
Witness of the praying mantis challenge, this is a very important thing here, but I forgot about it just now.
Deng Twelve couldn't help but shake his head, secretly keeping this matter in his heart.
You must know that every mantis battle in this dark and deep forest needs witnesses, just like the previous battle between the dark and the four-star swordsmanship green mantis, there was a five-star swordsmanship green mantis to witness on the side.
And now, the mantis source beasts on both sides of the field are still only four-star, so the four-star mantis source beasts that walked out from the side should be the witnesses of this battle.
Looking at the battle that was about to start on the field, Deng Twelve's eyes were interested.
He didn't know anything about the mantis trial, except for the first battle, he also learned about the battle from Wang Ming's mouth, and he couldn't believe it all.
At this time, there is a live practical tutorial, and he naturally will not miss it.
To be honest, Deng Twelve felt that his luck was a little bit better, because he never thought that the first time he came to investigate the situation, he ran into someone conducting a praying mantis trial.
The battle on the field had already begun with the four-star mantis source beast in place.
The red praying mantis is the source beast that belongs to the source pet master's side, and the gray mantis shaped like a withered mantis is one of the one hundred and eight tribes living in the dark and deep forest.
Deng Twelve looked at their data, and the red one was the three-star race steel pincer mantis, the level was three-star, the complete period, and the talent was ordinary.
And the gray one is the same three-star race, the withered leaf mantis, the complete period, and the talent is ordinary.
This kind of data surprised Deng Twelve, because he didn't expect that the three-star strongest person in the Withered Leaf Mantis clan in this big race would have such an ordinary talent.
Although it is not completely said that the strength of the source beast with strong talent is strong, this is a very important factor after all.
When he was surprised, the battle on the field began.
The steel pincer mantis took the lead in rushing forward, and this speed only felt a little slow in Deng Twelve's eyes, or it was bulky.
The dead leaf mantis did not choose to face the edge of the hand directly, the wings of the dead leaf behind it spread, and the body rose sharply upwards for a distance, dodging the attack, but did not take advantage of this opportunity to attack.
The steel pincer mantis quickly stabilized its body, and the two sides were once again in the same situation.
That's it, the two sides come and I fight, and the fight is so hot, but in the eyes of Deng Twelve, he feels quite boring.
At this time, he no longer had the interest he had just now, perhaps he was used to seeing the battle that was particularly strong in the same level as the dark, and then watching the battle between these two mantis source beasts with ordinary strength, it seemed a little boring.
But when he turned his head to look at Wang Ming, he found that this guy was watching the battle on the field, looking with relish.
Deng Twelve didn't bother him, and looked around by himself.
After he looked around, he realized that the open space of this challenge place was a full circle larger than the open space of the trial land.
I'm afraid it was specially cleaned up to facilitate the battle of the mantis source beasts, waiting for someone to secretly think of it.
Not only that, but then Deng Twelve also saw a lot of mantis source beasts on the edge of this clearing, they belonged to different races, and they all quietly watched the battle in the center of the field.
This made Deng Twelve a little curious, before, Wang Ming had only said that there was a place of challenge, and he didn't explain too much about the details inside.
Therefore, Deng Twelve didn't understand the role of the praying mantis source beasts gathered here, could it be that they were used to guard the guards here?
Just when Deng Twelve was confused about all the things here, Wang Ming's voice suddenly came.
"Why, aren't the twelve brothers wondering why there are so many mantis source beasts gathered here on the side?"
Deng Twelve turned his head to look, and after seeing that the winner had been divided on the field at this time, he knew why Wang Ming replied to himself now.
In the open space of the challenge place, the battle between the two praying mantis source beasts has ended, and the result is that the steel pincer mantis belonging to the source pet master has won, but looking at its appearance, I am afraid that it is not lightly injured.
At this time, Wang Ming continued: "Hehe, let me tell you about the twelve brothers, these mantis source beasts surrounding the edge of the clearing are the essence of this challenging place.
At the edge of this clearing, there are one hundred and eight mantis source beasts of the one hundred and eight clans in order, increasing from left to right.
There are a total of six challenge locations, which are one-star, two-star, and three-star...... Six stars, these six levels of mantis source beasts, a total of one hundred and eight mantis source beasts in the dark deep forest, have all sent the strongest of their clans to stay here.
Therefore, if the Source Pet Master who participated in the Mantis Trial wants to challenge, he only needs to penetrate the challenge of one of the six levels before he can participate in the final level skipping trial. ”
Hearing this, Deng Twelve somewhat understood the reason why this place was called a place of challenge, because here, the source pet master who participated in the mantis trial was able to complete this trial completely.
It's just that he still has a puzzle about this place, but he didn't tell Wang Ming.
That is, if the strongest of these races of the same level stay here and don't go to the outside world to experience bloody experiences, then how will they grow?
But soon, he figured out again, that is, since the strongest of so many races gathered here, they can also grow a lot here by communicating and fighting with each other.
Thinking of this, Deng Twelve couldn't help but walk forward, he wanted to see what the strongest people of the same level in the dark deep forest gathered together looked like.
When Wang Ming saw Deng Twelve's appearance, he chuckled lightly and followed.
When he first came here, when he learned the news, didn't he look like this guy?
The two of them walked towards the places not far away where various mantis source beasts gathered.
