When everyone heard the whistle, they couldn't help but get nervous, and they all wondered whether the result was a failure or a success.

Dugu Xiao couldn't wait to jump up, opened the door, the joy on his face immediately appeared, and he looked at Situ Fan and nodded with satisfaction.

Although Situ Fan was exhausted, he still managed to show a victorious smile.

When he came to the bottom of Jiudou Tower, Situ Xue ran over in a panic.

"Brother Fan, are you okay, what's the result?"

Li Xiaopang was also waiting for Situ Fan's answer.

Situ Fan secretly snickered, then looked sad, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry everyone, I didn't succeed in the challenge." ”

Principal Dugu Xiao looked very puzzled at the moment, when he went up, the monster had already been knocked to the ground, and he couldn't help but wonder what this kid was doing?

When Situ Xue heard this result, her heart was really cold, but she still reluctantly smiled and comforted: "Brother Fan, it's okay, failure is a common thing in soldiers." As for the secret of the qi in the scroll, we can find other methods, and it must be recorded elsewhere. ”

Li Xiaopang didn't speak, just nodded vigorously on the side.

The principal Dugu Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "I really don't understand what you little ghosts are playing, Situ Fan's challenge has been successful." ”

Hearing this, Situ Xue was still skeptical and looked at Brother Fan. Personally confirmed: "Is what the headmaster said true?"

Situ Fan laughed out loud at this moment: "Hey, hey, uh-huh, it's successful." I didn't expect Sister Xue'er to take it seriously. ”

Li Xiaopang patted his chest again and again, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Situ Xue seemed to be a little angry, and raised her voice: "As long as it is what Brother Fan says, I will believe it." So, next time, please Brother Fan don't lie to me again. ”

For what happened on the seventh layer, there were still lingering palpitations in my heart, and the pain of being attacked by Brother Fan's illusion had always remained in my heart.

Situ Fan was overwhelmed by Sister Xue'er's reaction, and apologized repeatedly: "Sister Xue'er, I'm sorry." Not next time, so don't be angry. ”

Situ Xue nodded, did not speak, and then looked at the principal Dugu Xiao: "Principal, can we enter the last layer together in half an hour?" Because Brother Fan has just finished challenging the eighth layer, and he needs to reconcile his breath. ”

Dugu Xiao touched his chin, and then nodded: "It makes sense, otherwise it will definitely be dangerous to go in now." Then you should rest for half an hour. ”

Situ Fan was also relieved, and he had half an hour to recover. Although it is not possible to recover all of it, it is enough to recover more than half of it. Then he meditated on the ground.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Situ Fan's expression became less tired than before, and now he looked like he was fine.

Dugu Xiao was secretly taken aback when he saw such a resilience, it was really terrifying.

Situ Fan and the three of them looked at each other and nodded to indicate that they were ready to go to the last layer.

"Headmaster, the three of us are ready. Situ Fan stepped forward and spoke.

"Are you sure??The ninth layer may be even more terrifying than all the monsters encountered in the previous layers, and it may be life-threatening. ”

Dugu Xiao's eyes did not have the slightest sense of joking, but were extremely serious.

There is no need for Principal Dugu Xiao to remind them, Situ Fan and they all know in their hearts that there must be something unexpected waiting for them in the last layer.

Situ Fan didn't hesitate for a moment, and said, "Headmaster, we are all ready, please take us up immediately." ”

Dugu Xiao observed the expressions of the three of them, and everyone had no intention of flinching, and they were very pleased.

"Good. Come with the old man now. ”

After saying this, Dugu Xiao took Situ Fan and the three of them to the ninth floor, the ninth floor where no one had entered since the school was established.

Situ Fan and the three of them couldn't help but clench their fists, took a deep breath, and waited for the principal Dugu Xiao to open the Xuantie door.

As soon as I opened the door, sure enough, the atmosphere inside was different from that of all the previous floors.

It was completely dark in front of them, and Situ Fan and Situ Xue immediately closed their eyes to sense whether there was any monster aura around them.

After fumbling for a while, it was very strange that I didn't feel anything. Intuition told Situ Fan that not feeling anything in this way was the most dangerous. It's like the eighth layer, which seems simple and monster-like, but there is a deadly danger inside.

Situ Xue couldn't help but be vigilant, for fear that there would be an illusion.

Li Xiaopang has been dragging the corners of Situ Fan's clothes since he came in, hiding behind his back, looking around.

Situ Fan dragged Li Xiaopang forward, walked a distance, really couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and looked down at Li Xiaopang.

"Chubby, I said can you be a little promising, how many actual battles have you experienced, how many dangers have you had, and you are still so timid?"

When Li Xiaopang heard this, he instantly felt that his face couldn't hang up, so he immediately let go of the corner of his clothes, pretended to stand up calmly, and said, "I'm observing the enemy situation behind you, and it may be different from other perspectives." ”

Situ Fan shook his head helplessly: "On making excuses, Xiaopang, you can be the first." ”

At this moment, suddenly a figure not far away walked over, with a long beard, looking like an old man.

Situ Fan noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly lucked, a fireball appeared in his hand, and the pitch-black ninth layer became clear.

Looking at the figure again, a white-haired old man appeared in front of him, dressed like an ancient, and his face was very kind.

Situ Fan immediately asked, "May I ask the old man, who are you?"

The figure just smiled, didn't speak, and kept walking back and forth in place.

Situ Fan and the three of them were deeply surprised, they didn't know who this old man was at all, and looked at each other.

"Chubby, go up and see what's going on. ”

Hearing this, Li Xiaopang's eyes widened, and he hurriedly stammered: "I? Why me?"

"Do you want to eat my food for a month? If you go up, I'll give you a month's food." ”

Li Xiaopang always felt that this gambling contract was so familiar, and suddenly realized, and said: "You haven't settled the gangster's dinner contract last time." ”

Situ Fan really wanted to beat Li Xiaopang, and he had always been so concerned about eating, so he was convinced.

glanced at Chubby: "Okay, good, add another month." ”

Li Xiaopang's smiling face squeezed a piece of flesh at the moment, and smirked: "That's okay, I'll go." ”

After speaking, Li Xiaopang walked slowly and leisurely towards the old man, and retreated several times halfway, for fear of being suddenly attacked.

Just a handful away, Li Xiaopang asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, old man, can you speak?"

The old man still did the same thing, repeating it in the same place.

Situ Xue sensed something strange, couldn't it be another illusion?

Immediately reminded: "Chubby, try to touch that figure." ”

How dare Li Xiaopang go over and touch it, if he offends the other party, plus in this ninth layer, the old man in front of him is definitely not a simple person.

Situ Xue saw Li Xiaopang hesitate for a while, and said, "Don't worry, Brother Fan and I are here, the three of us will definitely be able to deal with it." ”

Li Xiaopang thought about it and made some sense, so he tried to touch it. The hand slowly approached, and just touched the arm, and suddenly there was a beep, and the old man had a different reaction.

Then he finally spoke, "May I ask who is here?"

Li Xiaopang was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, looking at the old man in surprise, he had not reacted before, and he didn't expect to be able to speak at all.

Situ Fan stepped forward and clenched his fists and replied respectfully: "Grandpa, we are the challengers of this layer. May I ask you, old man, who are you?"

"Me, you don't have to know. However, congratulations on making it to the ninth floor safely, which also means that you are the person you can trust from Doucheng School. The old man replied in a very leisurely tone.

"Then you must know about the Mystery Scroll. Situ Fan didn't want to beat around the bush here, and ran directly to the goal.

Situ Xue and Li Xiaopang couldn't help but care, waiting for the old man to speak.

"The scroll does exist, it's just a map, nothing special. If you want, you're behind me. The old man pointed behind him.

Hearing this, Situ Fan and the three of them looked behind the old man at the same time, only to find that there were two scrolls on a dragon-patterned wooden table, which seemed to be covered with dust.

"Grandpa, we're here today for this scroll, so no matter what, we have to get it. ”

"It's fine to take this scroll away, but you have to pass my level to get there. ”

The old man's eyes suddenly became sharp, and a ring wave of light spread away, and a sense of oppression surged towards Situ Fan and the others.

Intuition told Situ Fan that the old man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person, and his strength might even be above his grandfather. Thinking of this, Situ Fan's heart couldn't help but tighten.

"Sister Cher, Chubby, come to me first. This old man is not something that the three of us can win easily. Situ Fan's face became solemn and shouted in a low voice.

The old man didn't have any pressure, and kept brushing his beard on the other side.

Situ Xue also vaguely felt the strength of the old man, and had never seen Brother Fan react like this.

"Brother Fan, what should we do now?"

"Now, we have no way out, we have to go straight on. Now there must be a battle plan. Situ Fan turned around and analyzed.

Li Xiaopang didn't have too many concerns, and said directly: "Brother, the three of us, what else is there to worry about, dealing with that old man, don't make such a fuss, right?"

In the face of Li Xiaopang's true day, Situ Fan simply replied: "Listen to me." ”

"Three children, you have to think about it, you can only get the scroll after passing my level. From behind Situ Fan, the old man's voice came again.

Hearing the clue from the voice, the old man seemed to be telling Situ Fan that it was impossible to get the scroll.

Situ Fan felt pressured at the moment, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.

His eyes were very firm, and he said, "How can you know if you don't try." ”
