Chapter 45: Stand in line
"Although the Demon Hell Curse Valley is the riskiest first-class trial in the Aquila Academy, it is also the trial with the highest rewards. I heard from the senior brother that there will be some heavenly treasures in the Demon Hell Curse Valley. ”
"The premise is to pass the trial and stay in the valley for ten days and ten nights. The Demon Hell Valley simulates a real wilderness environment, and it is not ordinarily difficult to stay here for ten days and ten nights. ”
"Our elite academy is okay, the former pharmacy apprentices have been wiped out every year, and after they came out, they were all in a trance, they couldn't remember what happened, and some people even died crazy inside, it was really miserable. ”
Many elite disciples looked at Zhou Xiao with inexplicable expressions.
"Didi...... The invasion is complete...... Do you want to receive it?"
"Receiving. ”
After breaking through the seventh order of the Daoist, Zhou Xiao's invasion ability improved again, and the remaining part of the trial information was presented in the brain domain.
"I see, no wonder the apothecary apprentices are crazy. Zhou Xiao opened his eyes, and he finally knew the reason for the repeated failures of the apprentices in the medicine workshop.
At this time, Zhou Xiao already had a clear understanding of the process of the regular trial, just like an open secret book, there were no secrets to speak of.
But for the true trial hidden in the depths of the Demon Valley, he still knows a limited amount.
......
A strong wind struck, rolling up the disciples.
The disciples saw a flower in front of them, the wind was whistling in their ears, and their bodies were sucked up in the air, but when they landed, they found themselves in another world.
The dry land forked in the road, and the inky clouds and haze in the dim sky were piled up, like a black-boned beast ready to pounce at any moment, which was breathless.
In the distance of the blood-colored river valley, there is an ancient yellow Gobi, where the wind and sand are raised, and it flies densely towards the river valley.
Thundered!
Purple thunder danced like a demon snake, splitting out of the clouds!
Bang!
The blood-colored water vapor above the river valley fluttered over the yellow sand storm next door...... Even the ink clouds that covered the sky and the sun were blown away by the purple thunder, and under the skylight, the "behemoth" of the creeping Gobi was exposed in front of the disciples.
"It's a bone beast!"
"No...... That's a demon!Ahhh
The elite academy disciples who entered the Demon Hell Curse Valley panicked, but fortunately, the first few people such as Wang Hengyang, Yi Yunxing, and Xiang Yuge all remained calm, and the rest of the disciples were infected and gradually recovered, letting go of their fears, and looking at the huge white bones in the Gobi sand.
It was the bones of a giant creature left behind after its death, the skeleton was very strange, the body was like a deer, the head was like a human head, the mouth had fangs, the forehead had horns, and the sides of the body had bone wings. And its fangs alone are the size of an adult man, and its huge size when it is alive can be seen.
"It was the skeleton of a demon, and I don't know how many lives of monks of the same level were sacrificed to kill it and bury the bones in the valley. Wang Hengyang said in a deep voice.
"In the past, I had only seen demons in picture albums, but I didn't expect to see demon bones today, which is worth the trip...... No wonder it is said that at least ten human monks can cooperate with bone beasts and treasures to be able to kill a demon of the same level. Yi Yunxing sighed faintly: "Only those powerful and peerless titled emperors in the legend can fight against the demons of the same level on their own." ”
Xiang Yuge didn't speak, he was always observing Zhou Xiao on the side.
At this time, Zhou Xiao was like two people when he was outside the valley, he sat quietly, breathed in, refined and refined qi, and was recovering the Dao energy in his body.
The more this is the case, the more Xiang Yuge is a little incomprehensible.
"Human monks and demons of the wilderness, mortal enemies for generations. In any party's cultivation dojo, more than ninety percent of the trials are all aimed at preparing for entering the wilderness to fight demons. However, in the wilderness, it is not only demons that are terrifying, but also a dangerous wilderness environment. It was Wang Hengyang who spoke, and at this time he seemed to have become the backbone of all the disciples: "According to the experience of the predecessors, the Demon Hell Curse Valley Trial simulates the Wilderness Spirit Transformation, and the first wave of evil spirit attacks will last for at least three days. ”
Yi Yunxing said, "Senior Brother Wang and I mean, everyone gets together to resist the spiritual change. All the rewards obtained in the process will be distributed according to the amount of effort. I wonder what everyone thinks?"
Wang Hengyang and Yi Yunxing, the two masters, volunteered to become dependents, and it was too late for the disciples to be happy, so how could they not agree.
At this time, Yi Yunxing saw Zhou Xiao not far away, and frowned: "That's it, you can come over too." Given your strength and your status as an apprentice in the Apothecary, the reward is not yours. “
Zhou Xiao closed his eyes and said nothing.
"Is the shelf quite big? What, are you not satisfied with my conditions? Do you want to get a piece of the pie with your strength?" Yi Yunxing sneered.
Wang Hengyang looked at Zhou Xiao deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has their own ambitions, Senior Brother Yi, forget it." ”
Yi Yunxing shrugged his shoulders, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes: "The apprentices of the medicine workshop participated in the Demon Valley trial, and they were either killed or injured, and none of them were spared. Zhou Xiao, trial rewards are trivial matters, and life is the key. You must not lose your life early for the sake of a reward and become the laughing stock of the academy. ”
Zhou Xiao opened his eyes, then closed them, ignoring Yi Yunxing.
Ignored by Zhou Xiao, Yi Yunxing's face was ugly, and at this moment he saw Xiang Yuge in the crowd.
"Xiang Gongzi, why don't you follow your powerful master and mix with us?" Yi Yunxing turned towards Xiang Yuge and said lightly.
Xiang Yuge raised his eyebrows: "Yi Yunxing, what do you mean?"
"What, pretend you don't understand me?" Yi Yunxing sneered and shook his head: "Since you have a good relationship with Zhou Xiao, and you also gave him the Blood Master Curse and recognized him as a teacher, then you can go to his side." ”
No one opened their mouths to help Xiang Yuge.
Reality is often harsh, and even more so in this doomed trial. In the hearts of all the disciples, the sixth-ranked master of the Elite Academy, Yi Yunxing of the tenth order of the Daoist disciple, was obviously more reliable than Xiang Yuge of the eighth order of the Daoist.
Xiang Yuge was arrogant, where could he stand Yi Yunxing's stimulation.
He looked at Yi Yunxing deeply, didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards Zhou Xiao with a cold face.
"Don't come here. Zhou Xiao didn't raise his eyelids and said.
Xiang Yuge's body stiffened, his expression stiffened, and he looked at Zhou Xiao with his head high, maintaining his last self-esteem.
"That's it. For the sake of your calling my master, come here. Zhou Xiao opened his eyes.
Xiang Yuge gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Xiao, he never expected that at this time, Zhou Xiao was still in the mood to tease him.
His fists clenched and loosened, and after a while, Xiang Yuge walked to Zhou Xiao's side and said in a low voice: "When the trial is over, I will challenge you to retrieve my Blood Master Spell." ”
"Whatever you want. Zhou smiled.
"Zhou Xiao, Zhou Xiao, I thought you didn't want to join us, but you wanted to rely on Senior Brother Xiang. Yi Yunxing's contempt was beyond words.
He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wang Hengyang: "Don't move, it's coming." ”
Hearing this, Yi Yunxing's eyes changed, and he shouted: "The spiritual transformation is about to begin!
The well-trained elite disciples didn't say a word, and quickly put out a martial formation, shaped like a half moon, under the leadership of Wang Hengyang and Yi Yunxing, the martial royal pulse qi faced the front.
Wow!
The flying sand is all over the sky, and the blood in the river valley is rising!
In the roaring thunder, blood-red sand and gravel flew like locusts, overwhelming the sky, and in an instant, they crossed the Gobi and river valleys, and rushed towards the disciples.
"Don't panic! As long as we work together, we will be able to survive!" Wang Hengyang shouted.
All the disciples responded in unison, most of them were pale and their hearts were drumming, but as the elite of the Heavenly Wind Country's veteran cultivation dojo, none of them took a step back.
When the blood-red sand flew closer, it suddenly condensed, turned into a series of figures, and pounced on the disciples.
Rumble!
The five disciples couldn't hold on, they were knocked out of the martial array, and in the blink of an eye, they were entangled by the evil shadow of the blood sand, and in desperation, they shouted the word "one", and their bodies turned into a light and shadow and were teleported out of the demon valley.
