White Emperor City.

In the hall of the Liu family, where the atmosphere was somewhat heavy, several figures sat in it, each of these people was the core figure of the Liu family.

At the head of the hall sat a middle-aged man with a slightly gloomy face, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop, and he was the first to speak to break the silence in the room.

"I just received news that among the team sent to investigate the periphery of the Demon Beast Mountain Range today, there is a two-person team that has lost its trace at the intersection of the periphery and the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range. ”

The middle-aged man's hoarse voice sounded slowly in the room.

"House Master, maybe they should have encountered the attack of demon beasts, right?"

Smiling casually, a man in the next seat said, This kind of thing when encountering the death of a demon beast is normal in the huge demon beast mountain range.

Listening to this man's name, this middle-aged man is the head of the Liu family, and the current city lord of White Emperor City, Liu Chen.

"If you encounter a monster attack, there should be some traces left, however, the person who went to pick up, after searching the area that the two people were responsible for, did not find the slightest trace of battle, if you exclude the mistake that only rookies will make when they fall off the cliff, I think, they should have been attacked by others, and those disappeared traces of battle, I'm afraid it was also done by that person. ”

Shaking his head, Liu Chen said lightly.

"What does the head of the house mean that someone has done something to us?"

Hearing this, the man was slightly stunned, and then shook his head.

"This doesn't make sense, let's send someone to the Demon Beast Mountain Range to investigate, only those big families know about this matter, do you suspect that those big families did it. ”

"Hmph, they don't have the guts, but the forces behind them don't necessarily, anyway, tomorrow I will send some people to that area to search cautiously, and then a few of you will give me a good look at the forces behind those big families." ”

Liu Chen said in a deep voice, he is as cautious as a poisonous snake by nature, and he will not let go of any small loopholes.

"Well, that's fine,"

The man nodded slightly and replied.

......

The rushing waterfall crashed heavily against the rocks, and suddenly, with a thunderous sound, it reverberated in the small valley.

Standing beside the lake under the waterfall, Ying Hao looked at the ten huge wooden stakes that were inserted under the impact of the waterfall, and couldn't help but make a bitter face, and then smiled bitterly.

"Alas, if you want to reach the eight-star bronze monk as soon as possible, you can only increase the intensity of the trial like this. ”

Ying Hao's eyes looked at the bottom of the waterfall, where the water crashed on the boulder, and the rumbling sound made him shudder, and he laughed dryly.

"Forget it, I can only blame myself for being too weak, and I'm going to go hard. ”

Gritting his teeth and roaring, Ying Hao took off his clothes, and then jumped on a boulder vigorously, jumping towards the first stake with his teeth and claws.

"Boom!"

His feet were just next to the stake, and before he could stand firmly, the huge impact of the water hit his body fiercely, Ying Hao only felt a pain in his back, and the ferocious momentum washed him unceremoniously into the lake.

Drilling his head out of the lake, Ying Hao spit out a mouthful of lake water poured into his stomach, and shouted with unwillingness.

"Hey, I'm going to spend it with you today!"

After roaring, Ying Hao climbed out of the lake, jumped onto the boulder again, and then viciously rushed onto the stake.

"Boom..."

"I'll go to your uncle's. ”

"Boom..."

"Ahhh ”

"Boom..."

“......”

"Boom..."

The sound of a huge waterfall resounded in the valley day after day, and the moist water vapor made the small valley almost completely isolated from the heat of the outside world.

Under the waterfall that is like a silver dragon, the naked boy with his upper body is gritting his teeth, clenching the long sword in his hand, constantly stabbing the torrent in front of him, and every time the long sword is swiped, it will splash all over the sky.

His feet were like the rhizomes of a shrub, sticking to the stakes, and on the surface of Ying Hao's body, a faint golden spiritual power loomed, and whenever the water hit his body, there would always be a faint mist rising.

If the long sword wants to slash into the water, it must take a lot of strength, and the young man who has been holding on to the stake for a while will now have a sharp pain in his arm every time he swings the long sword.

Gritting his teeth, Ying Hao's heels gradually softened, and finally, in the next split, the fierce water flowed, and finally with a bang, he was close to the limit, and knocked him from the stake into the lake below.

"Poof. ”

Drilling his head out of the lake, Ying Hao spat out a mouthful of lake water, shook his dizzy head, and then swam his almost numb body and swam to the shore with difficulty.

After arriving on the shore, his whole body collapsed on the cold stone surface, and his muscles were so numb that he didn't want to move at all.

Lying on the ground, the beast meat roasting on the fire next to him came from a tempting aroma, which was a fatal temptation for Ying Hao at this time.

When he opened his eyes and took a deep breath of the aroma, Ying Hao's stomach suddenly growled, and he moved his body with difficulty, leaning against the boulder, and then picked up the barbecue on the fire and devoured it.

It didn't take long for a wild boar to be eaten up by Ying Hao, and he lay on the ground satisfied, his eyes swept over the ten wooden stakes under the waterfall, and he smiled with satisfaction.

"Five days, that's how long you can hold on to these stakes. ”

Then, Ying Hao's gaze was expected to be in the dense forest, and his expression suddenly became a little solemn.

"However, the frequency of the people sent by Liu Chen from the Demon Beast Mountain Range appearing nearby is getting higher and higher, so they must have noticed something. ”

After eating and resting, Ying Hao continued to walk towards the wooden stake under the waterfall.

"It is estimated that it won't be long before Liu Chen's people will find here, and it seems that they have to speed up and strive to reach the eight-star bronze monk before those people have already found this place in the berserk battle group. ”

Then, Ying Hao's figure flashed, and he jumped towards the stake.

......

One day a month later, Ying Hao was already able to hold on to the stake for more than an hour and move freely, then Liu Chen's people finally found this place, and a one-star silver monk broke into this quiet small valley indiscriminately.

Standing at the mouth of the valley, the monk looked at the young man who was cultivating under the waterfall in a daze, and after a while, he was awakened by the cold wind.

Then he looked at the young man with some doubts in his eyes, and was about to walk towards the young man under the waterfall, when a sharp wind breaking force suddenly hit from the front.

The power carried by the strength made the one-star silver monk's heart sink, and the soles of his feet kicked on the ground, and his body retreated sharply.

Clang!

The black shadow that broke through the air slammed heavily on the dirt floor, and suddenly, the mud was scattered, and a long sword glowing with a faint golden light was deeply inserted into the stone in front of him.

"The people of the Liu family, just leave them for me. ”
