Deep Corridor ......

Empty, dim......

All the light sources come from the unknown stones that emit this faint light source embedded in the top of the passage!!

That's right!!

It's stone......

People, when you see something new, you can't help but be curious!

Xia Jian is naturally no exception......

Especially this kind of stone, which looks like a pearl of the night!

For this reason, Xia Jian even deliberately climbed to the top of the passage and carefully studied these glowing stones!

The answer is that there seems to be a kind of bacteria parasitic in these stones, and these bacteria will secrete some unknown materials that can emit light during the metabolism of the new layer!

So......

To put it bluntly, it's not the stone that's glowing!

It's the bacteria that are really shining......

This finding......

also dispelled Xia Jian's original plan to pry off a few stones from the passage and take them back!

After all, the environment is different......

When he really changed places, Xia Jian didn't dare to guarantee whether these microorganisms parasitic on the stones would be able to survive and attack!

I am also worried......

Xia Jian wasn't sure if these bacteria were harmful to the human body!

Adhering to the principle of being cautious and not making a big mistake, Xia Jian naturally had no choice but to give up his plan to take a few stones back to collect!

……

As we go deeper into ......

The air in the passage is starting to get a little stuffy, a little humid, so take a closer sniff. I can faintly smell a faint, indescribable odor from the air......

And what made Xia Jian even more strange was ......

The moment I smell it. He felt something familiar......

Looks like I've smelled this somewhere before!

But for a while, I couldn't remember where I had smelled it......

Turn around a corner......

Ever since I came in, the trial passage that had been unchanged had finally begun to change......

The space ahead suddenly widened......

The ...... that appeared in front of Xia Jian and Shi Huan's eyes

It's not so much a passage as a huge square!!

How big is it, exactly?

It's always a bit of a stretch for three or four football fields!!

And it seems to maintain the stability of the space!

In this space, it is no longer empty......

Look at it at a glance. In a huge square, there are about a dozen huge pillars with a diameter of about one meter!

Same as the City of Hope......

Every pillar here. It's all made of some kind of yellow stone!

It is also carved with a variety of exquisite, intricate patterns!

Besides......

The ground in this space is no longer flat!

At a glance, Xia Jian was actually in the entire space. Four or five were found, with an area of about four or five square meters. A low-lying area that sinks down a little!

"It's ......"

What made Xia Jian feel even more puzzled......

Next, Xia Jian found a black hole in the middle of a low-lying area, bottomless, like the outlet of a water pipe!

"Is this here for water?"

Low-lying areas......

A water pipe-like object placed in the middle of a low-lying area!

See these configurations......

Xia Jian almost subconsciously thought of the fountains he had seen in the pedestrian street square before......

But is it really used to accumulate water?

"Lord Xia Jian......"

Xia Jian, who was immersed in his thoughts, suddenly heard Shi Huan calling himself, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?" ”

"Look at that ......"

Shi Huan didn't hesitate, and directly pointed to a position on the right hand!

"Hmmm......"

The next second. Xia Jian's gaze suddenly froze......

What do you see?

In the direction that Shi Huan was pointing to, Xia Jian actually saw a shocking bright red......

It was a pool of blood......

Look at it from afar. Xia Jian even seemed to be able to spurt blood from the wound!

But after thinking about it, Xia Jian was relieved......

Since this is a place of trial!

Since there were already five groups of people coming in before he came in, it was really not surprising that there were so few traces left!

After all, this is normal!

"Let's go, go over and see ......"

At that moment, Xia Jian beckoned to Shang Shi Huan and walked towards the bright red......

…………

Wait until it's closer......

Xia Jiancai found that in this area, there were far more than one place where there were blood stains......

not only on the walls, but also on the ground......

Everywhere you look, you can see blood splattering and dragging corpses!

Of course......

Today, these blood stains have long since dried up and turned black!

Other than that......

In the corner, Xia Jian also found some bullet marks, as well as some bullet casings left after the firearm vented! On the ground somewhere, Xia Jian even found a bloodstained dogleg knife!

It can be concluded that ......

Not so long ago, there must have been a terrible battle here!

As for the results......

Since there are traces of dragging the corpse, the result is already self-evident!!

Speaking of which, Xia Jian discovered another strange place......

That was when Xia Jian wanted to find the lair of the monsters that attacked this group of people by dragging the corpses along the ground, leaving the blood stains left in the ground......

But a strange discovery......

All the blood marks left by dragging the corpse disappeared without a trace when they passed through the low-lying areas!

It seems to have just disappeared into thin air!

…………

But will the corpses really disappear?

Apparently impossible......

"Lord Xia Jian......"

Shi Huan was a little nervous, and even his voice trembled faintly......

Influenced by him like this. As a result, Xia Jian was also a little nervous!

Xia Jian suddenly glared at Shi Huan angrily: "I'll call the boss in the future!" ”

All right!!

always heard Shi Huan call himself "Lord Xia Jian", Xia Jian felt a little awkward and annoyed when he heard it!

I heard Xia Jian say this. Shi Huan still didn't understand what Xia Jian meant, and nodded again and again, "Boss, what should I do now......

"What should I do?"

Xia Jian said angrily: "Cold salad!" ”

"Oh......"

Shi Huan, who knew that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, was immediately silenced!!

It was at this time that ......

"Step on ......"

In the empty, dimly lit hall, there was a faint sound......

But in the halls. There was silence!

No matter how small or weak the sound is, it is impossible to be in this situation. Hide from Xia Jian and Shi Huan......

Both of their ears moved at the same time......

They all turned their eyes to the direction where the sound sounded......

At this time......

"Step on ......"

The voice sounded again......

This time, under the attention of Xia Jian and Shi Huan, the voice suddenly became much clearer!!

"It's footsteps!!"

Just a little bit of thought. Xia Jian had already judged it. This is the sound of the sole of the shoe stepping on the ground!!

"Someone!!"

The two of them immediately became cautious, and at the fastest speed, they each flashed behind a stone pillar!!

"Step on ...... Trample...... Step ......"

Next, the footsteps got closer and clearer......

Later, through the faint light emitted by the stones above his head, Xia Jian was even able to reach the end of this space. See a blurry black shadow!!

To be precise, it's a humanoid black shadow!

But is it really human??

Or or. Like the Bloodline and the Dark Chaser, just a monster in human form?

This question has always haunted Xia Jian's mind......

Pity......

Due to the distance!

And Xia Jian's spiritual perception couldn't detect that far away!

For this point, Xia Jian did not dare to draw conclusions for the time being!!

…………

And what happened next made Xia Jian, who planned to stay here, wait for the rabbit, wait for the humanoid figure to approach, and take a good look, so he was depressed for a while!!

The humanoid figure, after showing its face slightly......

After a long distance, he turned a corner again and entered another passage in the distance!

"What the ......"

Xia Jian suddenly burst out!!

I waited for a long time, looked forward to it for a long time, and I didn't come after the worst! Isn't this pure fooling just playing with people!!

After waiting for an empty Xia Jian, he was unwilling to give up......

"Let's go, keep up......"

Without saying a word, after dropping this sentence, Xia Jian was like a ghost, and quickly rushed towards the direction where the humanoid figure disappeared just now......

Can Shi Huan have an opinion on this?

Dare to have an opinion?

Even if he really has an opinion, Xia Jianren has already left, and he doesn't want to ask him at all, and if he has an opinion, he can only hold it in his stomach!!

I could only use my strength to eat, and I broke out as fast as I could and chased after him......

………………

But then, something even more strange happened to Xia Jian......

From his observation just now!

That humanoid figure is actually not moving fast!

Thinking that he came over so quickly, it stands to reason that he should have caught up a long time ago......

But the result is ......

When Xia Jian felt the entrance of the passage where the humanoid figure disappeared within a few seconds, the long passage was empty, and he didn't see half a ghost shadow at all!

And that's not all......

Even the footsteps that still echoed in my ears before have completely disappeared!

Give Xia Jian a feeling......

It's like what he saw and heard just now, but in fact, the fight is just his own illusion!!

Thinking so......

Xia Jian couldn't help but cautiously look around......

But it's okay not to think about it......

After a closer look, Xia Jian found an even more unbelievable situation......

That's ......

As far as the eye can see, except for the passage in front of him, all Xia Jian sees are solid walls! I can't find the shadow of the channel at all!!

But just now, Xia Jian saw it clearly. The humanoid figure came out from the other side of this passage!!

Case......

Where did that humanoid figure come from?

Is it really a hallucination?

Or maybe hell you??

"The ...... of the Female Horse"

This moment......

Even Xia Jian began to have a little doubt!!

Since even Xia Jian is already like this......

Shi Huan, who came over later, also discovered this situation. The performance is even more unbearable......

This will make him subconsciously shrink near Xia Jian!

Seemingly......

Shi Huan, this kid, now has taken Xia Jian as a backer!!

……

"That's not right!!"

"This is the Passage of Trials......"

But fortunately, in an instant, Xia Jian remembered what kind of place he was in now!!

As a place of trial......

In this passage, even if you encounter something strange, it can only be regarded as a part of the trial!

Case......

"Keep up!!"

In just an instant, Xia Jian made this decision!!

And what happened next. also confirmed Xia Jian's judgment once again......

Wait until he enters the passage......

In less than a minute, I realized again that the one in front of me looked from the outside. It seems to be a very deep passage, but in fact it is less than three or four hundred meters long!!

And this passage is still a dead end!!

"Looks like this is the first trial......"

"You should only be able to go deeper into ...... if you pass the trial"

What you have seen and heard along the way. Immediately made Xia Jian make the above judgment......

I have to say......

Xia Jian's judgment on this. It's fairly accurate!

It's not ......

waited until Shi Huan was out of breath and finally caught up......

"Click......"

In the surrounding stone walls, there was a sudden sound of a mechanism turning......

Followed by......

At the end of the passage that was originally a dead end, a gate began to slowly rise on the stone wall that originally looked like a whole!!

Revealing a dark passage!!

The moment this dark passage appeared......

Xia Jianjian felt a dangerous aura even from it......

"Is it finally coming!!"

Seeing this scene, Xia Jian dared to conclude that the real trial content must be coming!!

While being excited......

There is still a faint expectation of that!!

"Woo ......"

It seems that in order to verify Xia Jian's guess, the next second. In the dark passage, a low, beastly roar was clearly heard!

"Back ......"

At the moment of hearing this low roar. Xia Jian's face immediately became solemn, and he pointed at Shi Huan into the distance, asking him to quickly flash far away, so as not to hinder himself here!

I can't help Xia Jian not be cautious!!

Through Shi Huan's introduction before, Xia Jian has learned that the monsters in this place of trials will be much more powerful than the monsters of the same level outside!!

And now......

From the aura emanating from the monster that emitted a low roar in this dark passage, Xia Jian could be sure that the strength of this monster should be around the general level!!

If it's just a survivor whose strength is around the general level, or a blood clan and a demon clan!

Xia Jian may be okay without worrying!!

But if it is against a general-level hunter with considerable talent, even if it is as strong as Xia Jian now, if he doesn't want to be injured, he must definitely be up to twelve points!!

…………

Facts have proved that it is very necessary for Xia Jian to be so cautious......

Really......

The Ten Gates have just risen!

Without waiting for Xia Jian to see clearly, what kind of monster was hidden in this dark passage......

"Whoosh ......"

There were two powerful sounds in the air!

Forthwith......

In the dim space, two black rays were as fast as lightning, flashing away, and they flew towards Xia Jian without warning......

"What the ......"

"Sneak Attack ......"

At the moment when the stone gate had just been raised, Xia Jian had already used his spiritual perception to cover the area of 100 meters around his body!

How can I not know what happened to the road......

Don't say a word!

In the face of this hidden weapon flying towards him, in a hurry, Xia Jian rolled around like a lazy donkey, rolling to a meter away!!

Meanwhile......

"Woo ......"

"Buzz ......"

Two javelins made of unknown materials, all black, about the thickness of a thumb, were deeply rooted in the ground where Xia Jian was standing just now in the splashing sparks!

Due to the excessive strength......

At the end of the javelin, the ground vibrates, making a noisy buzzing sound!!

Seeing the two javelins that had sunk into the ground for more than ten centimeters and trembled, Xia Jian's eyes froze......

"Javelins?"

"Could it be that it was a human who attacked me?"

However, Xia Jian just thought so......

"Hiss ......"

In the dark passage, a strange sound suddenly came from again!!

Next Second......

A black figure with a height of about three meters began to crawl out of the dark passage, and the figure quickly became clear in the process......

That is, at the moment of seeing this figure!

Xia Jian's pupils contracted suddenly......

What did he see?

The swarthy, slender, streamlined body stretches backwards, emitting a little phosphorescent light in the faint light!

But this doesn't give Xia Jian any beauty!!

On the contrary, Xia Jian felt a burst of nausea!!

Why?

Because what appeared in front of him at this time was a snake at all!!

A huge snake monster to be exact! And this monster still has a pair of arms, and when it swims, the upper half of its body is still standing tall like a human!!

As for the two javelins......

After carefully observing the basilisk in front of him, Xia Jian also instantly understood what it was!!

Behind this basilisk, there is clearly a whole row of dense bone spurs that shimmer with sharp and cold light!!

The appearance of these bone spurs is exactly the same as the two javelins just now!

"Hiss ......"

Seeing Xia Jian......

The basilisk had a pair of blood-red vertical pupils, overflowing with fierce light, spitting snake letters at Xia Jian, arms like eagle claws, skillfully reaching for his back, quickly pulling out two bone spurs from his back, and throwing them at Xia Jian again......

"What the ......"

"Come back ......"

This time there was preparation......

Xia Jian naturally wouldn't be as embarrassed as he was just now......

Facing the two bone spurs that shot towards him, Xia Jian didn't dodge in any way, but just waved the dagger in his hand casually......

The two bone spurs that flew from them were knocked away by Xia Jian one by one!!

"Woo ......"

"Woo ......"

However, at the moment when the dagger in Xia Jian's hand came into contact with the two bone spurs, with Xia Jian's strength, not only did he not break the two bone spurs, but two sparks were emitted in mid-air, emitting two crisp and metal-specific crashing sounds!!

Thus......

These two bone spurs pulled from the basilisk's back have become so hard!!
