129. The Covenant of the Forest of Death
Under the leadership of examiner Mitarai Red Bean, 20 groups of candidates entered the Forest of Death - Training Base No. 44.
10 Tianzi scrolls and 10 earthly scrolls were randomly assigned to these 20 groups of candidates.
Each group must obtain at least one pair of Heaven and Earth Scrolls, and must pass through the Forest of Death within 5 days, entering the Central Tower, which is 10 km from the entrance.
Those who can't do it, or those who die or can't continue in the middle of the process, or those who peek at the scrolls in advance are considered failures.
For Lu Mang, this test is not too difficult, but it is not simple either.
Because his current situation is different from the original plot.
In the eyes of everyone, Lu Mang, who was wrapped in the dense air, fluttered like an earth immortal soaring and dancing like a god descending to earth, making everyone invisibly feel irrepressible envy for him.
Even the highest-ranking Great Elder among the people couldn't help but stroke his beard and his jaw, and praised in a low voice: "Lu Mang's talent is really amazing, and it seems that this time the source fire is about to be ignited!" ”
Immediately, someone greeted him and said: "The Great Elder's eyes are like torches, and my Xu family wants another source power warrior, and it is just around the corner to dominate the East China Sea from now on." ”
Someone else praised in an extremely exaggerated voice: "This is extremely true, Lu Mang is fifteen years old, and he ignites the source fire in the year of his hair, and it is an extremely rare thunder attribute source fire, such a talent is unmatched in the East China Sea." ”
Some people even flattered and agreed: "Not only that, with Lu Mang's talent, don't talk about the small East China Sea, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to find a few of the billions of people in my Great Xia." ”
There are also people in the distance who say sour words: "If this kid Lu Mang really ignites the source fire this time, I'm afraid that some people's tails will be lifted to the sky, and even the second elder won't pay attention to them." ”
When Xu Hongyuan, Lu Mang's father and head of the Xu family, heard that someone was provoking, he immediately took a smile on his face, and retorted in a low voice: "Where did the ninth brother start, when did I, Xu Hongyuan, do such a disrespectful thing?" ”
After saying that, he turned to face a few elders sitting on the high platform, bent down slightly, and said humbly: "It's all cultivated by all the elders, otherwise where would Xiaoliang achieve today." ”
Sitting in second place on the high platform was an old man with crane hair and white face, who smiled gloomily and sneered: "There are really people who dare to cheekily admit that his son is a genius, what a joke!" ”
Xu Hongyuan's face changed, and he shouted angrily in a low voice: "Second Elder, what do you mean by this, my son Lu Mang ignited the source fire at the age of fifteen, how can he not be called a genius?" ”
The ninth brother in the distance sneered: "Xu Hongyuan, you are so embarrassed to say!" Who in the entire Great Xia didn't know that the success rate of lighting the source fire for the first time was the highest, and the success rate of the second time was only one percent of the first one.
As the patriarch of the Xu clan in the East China Sea, you know that Lu Mang has failed once last year, but this year you still insist on going your own way, and throw huge resources on Lu Mang to help him forcibly rush through the level.
If Lu Mang fails to ignite the source fire today, the wind flashes your Xu Hongyuan's tongue is small, and it wastes the resources that my Xu clan's source power warriors have hunted across various planes, hum ......"
Speaking of this, the ninth brother said angrily: "That's it, it's a big deal!" ”
Xu Hongyuan was far inferior to this ninth brother in terms of words, and when he heard this, he immediately blushed in anger, and pointed at the ninth brother and scolded angrily: "Old Jiu, you can't say that, the resources used on Xiaoliang are all obtained by the three of us father and son who personally conquered the plane, and they have nothing to do with the public property in the clan." ”
The ninth brother fanned the flames and said: "If you say that you are not involved, then you are not involved, anyway, you are the patriarch of the Xu clan, and you are the president of our Xu Defense Group."
Don't talk about the resources wasted on your son, you just say that the entire Xu family is the private property of your father and son, who can help you as the president? ”
These words sound simple, but in fact, the thoughts in them are extremely vicious, not only the foreign surname source force warriors who work for the Xu family, but even four of the five elders on the high platform cast suspicious glances at Xu Hongyuan.
Where did Xu Hongyuan dare to let everyone continue to be suspicious, he immediately had to open his mouth to argue.
But before he could speak, the majestic-looking Great Elder on the high platform made up his mind: "Hongyuan, Xiao Jiu, there is no need to argue about this matter. If Lu Mang ignited the source fire this time, everything before would be stopped. If not, the elders will judge justly! ”
As soon as the Great Elder's words came out, the faces of everyone under the high stage were different.
The ninth brother and the second elder smiled slyly, showing smugness in their hearts.
The expressions of the foreign surnamed Yuanli soldiers were different, and some of them knew that they were sympathetic to Xu Hongyuan, Lu Mang's father and son, and their faces were unbearable; There are also those who are attached to the second elder line with the same pride; There is also resentment against the Xu family who has infighting and worries about his future.
Only Xu Hongyuan's father and son are in charge of the relationship, but they have nothing to do, and can only hope that Lu Mang in the quiet room can successfully ignite the source fire.
If Lu Mang can't ignite the source fire, the fate of their family will immediately fall into the abyss.
……
In the quiet room at this time, Lu Mang, who was the center of everyone's attention, still sat with his eyes closed, like an unconscious 10,000-year-old iron pine, and like a rock that had existed since ancient times.
If it weren't for the continuous intensification of the rolling intensity of the purple-blue misty qi that represented the source power of the thunder attribute above his head, there would even be those shallow people who thought that he was just cultivating normally, rather than impacting the most difficult level.
After everyone in the observation room was quiet for a moment, the dense qi changed violently again, and they began to slowly rotate around the center of Lu Mang's head, forming a huge spiral with countless spiral arms in the blink of an eye.
After a moment, the center of the spiral gradually began to glow with a soft milky white glow, and a large number of tiny blue lightning bolts were emitted from the spiral arms towards the center.
In the observation room, someone looked at Lu Mang in a daze, and muttered: "It's like a galaxy in the sky, and it's like the first scene of life, is this the scene of the source fire being ignited, it's really spectacular!" ”
There are also people whose faces are flushed, and their expressions are excitedly suppressed and roared: "It's coming, it's really coming, the source fire is about to be ignited!" I am fortunate to be able to witness the birth of a great source power warrior, and I have no regrets about life and death! ”
Xu Hongyuan's ninth brother saw that his nephew Lu Mang could ignite the source fire at any time, and stepped into the proud realm that he couldn't step into as an uncle for the rest of his life, so he was so anxious that he couldn't choose to speak: "No, Lu Mang, you little lady must not ignite the source fire!" ”
If it was a weekday, Xu Hongyuan, who loved his wife deeply, would definitely have to duel with the ninth brother, but at this time, he only had Lu Mang in the quiet room in his heart, and he was afraid that the observation room would collapse and he would not be able to detect it, so he would not hear the curse of the ninth brother at all.
He folded his hands together and prayed sincerely, "Gods and Buddhas, please bless my son and help him to ignite the source fire smoothly......"
In the quiet room, the spiral spiral arm of the source force above Lu Mang's head rotated faster and faster, and the dotted thunder attribute source power approached the center at an extremely fast speed, and in a few moments, it almost condensed into a substance and continued to squeeze towards the center.
