readx; Thorne Pass, the first pass in the Northeast. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info pass across the Iron Thorn Mountains, the towering pass wall is like a moat. Its four gates lead to four nations, each of which is garrisoned. Standing on the highest watchtower of the pass, you can see all kinds of merchants coming and going in and out of the Thorne Pass.

Stepping into the Saône Pass, you will feel that this is a special city, which has both Western retro architecture, Eastern classical architecture, Gothic church architecture, and of course, barbarian tents. All kinds of food, clothes, and all kinds of races.

As the host of the academy competition, as soon as you enter the city, soldiers come to inquire if they are the participants. When Lei Teng and his party submitted their vouchers, the participating teams from different colleges were taken to their respective rest areas.

Back in the rest area, everyone immediately began to practice intensely. Because along the way, too many things have happened, which makes the friends of the cute and invincible mercenary group deeply realize their weakness. Besides, this time, the cute and invincible mercenary group only competes for the first, not the second. It is imminent to improve the strength!

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and today is the day of the competition. In the past three days, the friends of the cute and invincible mercenary group have not gone anywhere, and have been staying in the rest area to practice. During the cultivation period, good news was spread frequently, first Jiawen finally stepped into the second order of bronze, and the terrifying thing was that Li Qing actually touched the edge of silver, and there was a possibility of promotion at any time, of course, the most unexpected was Suanna, because Suanna was too weak, Lei Teng gave her the silver beast core that she won last time, and as a result, she was promoted to the third order of bronze. The rest of the people also stabilized their original strength and improved on this basis.

So far, the ranks of the participants of Lei Teng and his party are as follows: Lei Teng, Bronze 2nd Order, Caterina, Bronze 1st Order, Jiawen, Bronze 2nd Order, Galen, Bronze 3rd Order, Suanna, Bronze 3rd Order, Trist, Bronze 3rd Order, Blind Monk, Bronze Peak!

Early in the morning, the competition committee sent a special person to pick up the cute mercenary group to the entrance of the competition venue - Sunset Forest. The Sunset Forest is the largest forest in the Iron Thorn Mountains, the most dangerous forest, and certainly the most famous. It is famous not because of its large area, but because of the soul beast. The Sunset Forest is a place where there are very few places that can produce soul beasts.

Soul beasts are a type of beast, but unlike beasts, soul beasts have blood-red eyes, and because they are mutated species, their strength is slightly stronger than their peers. The most special thing about soul beasts is that soul beasts not only produce beast cores, but also have a chance to produce horcruxes. The more powerful the soul beast, the more powerful the Horcrux produced.

There are very few Horcruxes, and almost every Horcrux is extremely precious in the Land of Runecraft, so wherever there are a large number of soul beasts, they are strictly controlled by the national army, and civilians are not allowed to hunt privately. If civilians hunt soul beasts without permission, once they are investigated and punished, they will have to cut off the heads of the whole family.

When the nine participating teams arrived one after another, they chattered, and everyone was curious about how the competition would be. In previous years, it was a five-on-five ring match directly played by the eight colleges.

With a magnificent and solemn sound in the air, the arena was silent. The sound was very solemn and infectious, hitting the hearts of each contestant and making the contestants naturally quiet.

"Hello everyone! I'm Seck, the chairman of the competition committee. Let me explain the rules of this competition. The old man Seck said in the air.

Secker, the president of the Piltover Academy of Sciences, is unfathomable.

There were eight other people standing next to Seke, these were several majestic figures, not to say how tall they were, but where the combat power was, in fact, infinitely high, like a mountain, giving people a kind of oppression from the heart.

The nine people stood still, staring into the distance, and the wandering demons were impressively listed.

The cute and invincible little friend stared at this hateful old man, if it weren't for him, they wouldn't have been in danger repeatedly, and Zhao Xin wouldn't have been seriously injured and unconscious.

The wandering mage seemed to be aware of it, and also looked at Lei Teng and the group. Seeing him snort coldly, Lei Teng and his party all felt that they had been hit hard in the chest, and it was difficult to breathe. But Lei Teng and his party did not give in. Still staring intently, the wandering mage ignored them.

But another middle-aged man with a blue-black cloak and a wolf-toothed scimitar in his hand and a gloomy face looked over and saw that his eyes lingered on Caterina for a moment. Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, his pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at Lei Teng beside Katarina. But he shook his head again, as if everything was under his control.

Seker's infectious and penetrating voice came again, "The rules of this competition are that the nine academies enter through the nine entrances, and a body search must be conducted before entering. Except for weapons, nothing else is allowed to be brought in. The person in charge of the body search is the head of the major colleges. Once all the players are inside, the playing area is completely sealed and isolated. “

Then he said: "Your main task this time is to collect nine keys, wait for each of you to have another piece of rune jade, the key will randomly appear on the beasts in the sealing area, once it appears around you, the rune jade will be displayed." It is not until the nine keys are gathered to form the final key that the altar in the center of the tournament can be opened, thus breaking the seal, and the match will be over.

There was a deliberate pause in what Seck said, and then he said sharply:

"And the team with the final key is the number one in this competition. So this competition is different from the past, there is only the first, there is no second. The team that wins the first place will receive a Horcrux for each team member!"

As Sekedi turned, "Search!" ordered the race officer on the side.

I saw that the middle-aged man with a gloomy face moved in a way that ordinary people couldn't see clearly, and came to the entrance of Lei Teng's side.

The middle-aged man of the yin owl stared at every cute member who passed by him, and the moment he looked at it, everything was seen through, and he was creepy.

With the smooth passage of Jiawen and his party in front, only Lei Teng and Katerina remained.

Lei Teng came to the middle-aged man with a gloomy face, only to see the middle-aged man raise his right hand and look at it carefully, but he didn't see any clues, shook his head, handed Lei Teng a piece of talisman jade, and motioned for Lei Teng to go over.

But Lei Teng was very disgusted with the person in front of him, Jiawen and the others in front of him, he just watched it, why did he come to him so thoughtfully. His gloomy countenance and fierce eyes looked like he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. His intuition told him that this man had a great karma with him.

"We've met?" said Retten, who was about to walk forward, but turned around and asked.

"Hmm, boy, what's your name?" the middle-aged man looked at Lei Teng again.

"My name is Lei Teng!" Lei Teng said firmly.

"Retten, Reteng. The middle-aged man of the Yin Owl pondered for a moment, and suddenly said in surprise, isn't this the name of the child who was left by Cassadine fifteen years ago?

Randomly thinking of that plan, the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth showed a hint of weirdness, whether it was or not, it didn't matter anymore.

And then he said, "Okay, good! You can go over." ”

Lei Teng was very confused, but he was not allowed to think much about it at this time.

As Retten enters the Circle, only Caterina remains.

"Uncle Tyrone!" Caterina whispered.

"Hmph, do you know what's wrong?" exclaimed Tyrone.

"Oh, Uncle Tyrone, how are you like my father, I know you're good to me. Caterina said coquettishly.

The middle-aged man in front of him is afraid and jealous, but for Katarina, Tyrone is the most familiar. Tyrone was a fan of her father and her mentor.

"Nonsense!" After saying that, Tyrone was very angry, but the wood was already in the boat, so he had to give up.

"Don't open the seal in the middle, find a place to teleport back to Noxus City before the seal is opened. Tyrone then sent a message to her, and then gave her a jade talisman, which you would find that was slightly different from the others.

Caterina was surprised, she didn't understand why Uncle Tyrone was doing this. But she didn't think much about it, and after quietly taking it, she stepped into the arena.

Walking into the arena, Lei Teng and his party were surprised to find that this is a world where only strong food can avoid becoming weak meat, and the demonic beasts inside are too dense, and the roars are one after another. Bronze beasts can be seen everywhere, and silver beasts also appear occasionally, although there are no golden beasts, but the coercion that can make the silver beast lower its head and pretend to be noble is enough to prove its existence.

Walking in the dense forest, Lei Teng and his friends deliberately bypassed the powerful demonic beasts, but they did not dare to attack the bronze beasts wantonly. Is it the roar and coercion that comes, challenging everyone's tense nerves? Suddenly, the little friend's Fu Yu flickered at the same time, and it seemed that the first key had appeared.

Following the instructions, the little friend's eyes were basically locked on the big guy sleeping in the bushes not far away.

It was a dark demon bear, the mountain pile was the best description of its size, its black hair stood on end, and its huge fleshy palms were intimidating, as if it could tear the earth apart......

When I first met Tyrone, I felt the urge to kill him. --"The Legend of the Void Emperor"
