Chapter 016: The Inevitable Eliminator
Nian Yang stopped, the boundless darkness put more and more pressure on him, making his sense of time and space begin to deviate, vaguely as if he heard a voice calling, but he couldn't tell who was saying what.
Before he could be rescued, he himself was driven crazy first.
"Hey, anyone?" Nian Yang shouted into the void. There was no response, no response, nothing but nothingness in the darkness.
"What should I do?" Nian Yang sat down and muttered to himself.
The long silence and waiting did not bring the so-called rescue, but the silent space gradually cleared his mind.
The aftermath of the noise has dissipated, leaving only a lonely empty sound.
He thought hard about everything that had come before, trying to find clues in the details, and he couldn't sit still like this anymore. The endless darkness made him very uncomfortable.
"The trial won't be difficult, you haven't started cultivating after all, it's just a test, testing all aspects of your body and mind......"
Tang Yiyang's words echoed in his mind, becoming clearer and clearer word by word.
Since it is a test, there must be a way to pass.
"Just do what they do. Ge Lian's words popped into his mind.
These people may know how to pass, but they don't do anything.
Maybe doing nothing is the best course of action. Nianyang's mind slowly grasped something, and he stood up solemnly, closed his eyes and began to feel everything around him.
If the darkness around represents nothingness, then it represents existence in itself. To return to reality, one must find existence in existence.
If everything that the eyes see is not real, and everything that the body feels is not real, then the only way to find the true truth is to use the heart.
Nian Yang, who closed his eyes, fell into chaos, and the surroundings were still dark, but they became different. He saw a little light in his heart, and although it was not clear, he could feel the presence.
"You don't need your eyes to see. Nian Yang muttered.
He struggled to concentrate on the elusive point of light, which gradually turned into a halo of light, becoming more substantial to him.
Suddenly, everything suddenly became clear. What appeared in front of Nian Yang was a dark green forest, the chirping of birds flickering far and near, and the sunlight spilling in through the gaps in the leaves, which seemed soft and serene.
There were still a few people standing around Nianyang, all of them were part of this group of newcomers, one by one towering like piles, their eyes closed.
"Who, wake up, hurry up, the road is still long. The speaker was an old man in a blue linen suit, with messy hair, a knotted beard, and wrinkles on his face that reminded him of the vicissitudes of life. He smoked a dark green pipe, his mouth was turning clouds and spitting mist, and he held it behind his back with one hand, looking at Nian Yang.
"Oh, oh. Nian Yang came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward. On the side, a little brother in white seemed to wake up a little earlier than him, and after greeting the old man, he was about to move forward, and he didn't care when he saw Nianyang, and waved the folding fan in his hand with a smile.
"The next level is from here to the beach. The old man said casually.
Nian Yang looked into the depths of the forest, nodded, and was about to set off,
I couldn't help but look back behind me, there were still four people standing in place, and Ge Lian and the girl next to him were gone. The little boy who attacked the enchantment at first had the most painful expression, but his body was stiff and unable to move, not knowing what he had been through. The expressions of the other three were not much better, and Nian Yang could most of them understand the torment in the darkness in the hearts of these people.
"And mind to care about others. I'm telling you, the last one to go to the beach will be eliminated. If you don't want to be eliminated, hurry up, don't rub it in. The old man looked at Nian Yang and said with a little impatience.
"Will it be eliminated?" Nian Yang couldn't believe that this trial would really eliminate newcomers, which was completely different from what Tang Yiyang said.
The old man glanced at him. "It's an exam, what do you think? Also, watch out for the woods. ”
Nian Yang didn't dare to ask more, so he ran into the depths of the forest with a humming sound, and the clearing gradually disappeared behind him until he was the only one left.
"How did I come here?" Nian Yang wondered in his heart, he was still outside the Great Hall of Mountains and Rivers just now, how could he come to this ghost place for a while.
Which direction is the seaside that the old man is talking about?
He knocked off his head and scolded himself for being stupid, since he didn't know the way, why didn't he ask the old man to point the direction just now. He thought about it again, this was a test, maybe the old man wouldn't tell him the right direction at all.
His heart retreated, for him who was not familiar with the Canghai Realm, this trial was too strange for him.
At this moment, Nian Yang suddenly heard an unusual noise around him. He looked around alarmedly, and a man suddenly jumped from a tree. This man was the little brother who had set off before him in the clearing in front of him.
"Your name is Nianyang, right?" said the little brother with a smile.
Nian Yang took a step back vigilantly and hummed softly.
The little brother opened the folding fan and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't be nervous, I have no malicious intent." My name is Chen Wenshan, the text of the article, the mountain of mountains and rivers. I saw you at Elder Gu's residence the day before yesterday, and you probably haven't seen me. But it doesn't matter, hehe. I think we can walk together at this level. ”
"Partner?" Nian Yang repeated Chen Wenshan's request.
Chen Wenshan shook his fan and said, "You have also heard that the last one in this level will be eliminated." And, some of us may not be friendly, so teaming up brings convenience and advantage. ”
Nianyang thought for a moment. "You mean, we might be in danger?"
Chen Wenshan nodded. "It's not just this forest, it's also the same attack, so be careful with everything. ”
"Why did you choose me to be your companion?" Nian Yang said.
Chen Wenshan touched his head, "I'm ashamed to say that the previous level took too much time, and you are the most convenient person for me to find at this stage." ”
Nian Yang asked again, "Aren't you afraid that I will attack you?"
"You won't. Chen Wenshan closed his fan and said, "There is no murderous aura in your eyes." ”
"Yes. Nian Yang smiled, relaxed and said, "Where are we?" ”
Chen Wenshan looked around, "It should be in the turbid forest, and there is only this one forest in the Canghai Realm." ”
"Turbidity? Didn't we start out. How did you get here. ”
Chen Wenshan thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, the first level just now was just a change of formation of a large teleportation array. The purpose of the test just now is just to observe our ability to solve problems. ”
"Teleportation array? I don't quite understand. Nian Yang smiled bitterly, "In short, it's not a pleasant thing." ”
Chen Wenshan smiled. "Let's solve the problem in front of us first. He looked around. "We've been targeted. ”
