Han Nuo didn't plan to go too far, but sneaked to the bend of the river. Because he found that there was also a very large skeleton here, Han Nuo came to this skeleton and took out the elephant skull that he had put away earlier. The elephant's head and the bones were placed together, and they seemed to be one and the same.

Han Nuo nodded in satisfaction, and then burrowed into the elephant's eye again. It was his bold idea, and instead of going to the trouble of finding a place to hide, he should take one with him.

Han Nuo, who had already set his hide, did not immediately start meditating and cultivating, but began to think. He began to wonder if there was something wrong with him, why he hadn't been in contact with women for so many years, and finally had a chance to save beauty as a hero, why did he leave without even asking people's names?

When Han Nuo was in college, there were more men and fewer women in the mechanical major, and there were five women in the entire major of 300 people. It is this serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women that causes most of the students to give up their unrealistic illusions about love and eventually live as monks, and Han Nuo is one of them.

Because this kind of college life lasts for four years, after graduating from school, Han Nuo basically does not have the ability to communicate with the opposite sex. So after a few years in society, he is still alone. Thinking about it, it seems that contact with the opposite sex of the same age has only happened once or twice in this new world over the years.

He soon understood that he was learning to be single. But compared to being single, loneliness seems to be more terrible than being single, after all, in this world, he is alone.

He began to miss his parents, wondering how their hearts would hurt when his sudden disappearance would be. In fact, the so-called destination of people is the place where there will be people sad without you.

And this is the reason why Han Nuo wants to return to Earth. But let's be honest, I may not be able to spend my parents' lifetime with them. After all, the path of cultivating immortals is full of difficulties and dangers, not to mention that even if you succeed in cultivating, it will be hundreds of thousands of years later. In such a long period of time, the earth may have changed dynasties several times.

Thinking of this, Han Nuo's heart was a little confused, but he quickly adjusted. In life, you can't always stare at the things you can't ask for. Parents will eventually grow old, gain will eventually lose, and people will only have the motivation to move forward when they have their own pursuits. Women, it will only affect the progress of cultivation.

Thinking like this, Han Nuo returned to reality. He began to analyze all the information he had so far, one about the requirements of the trial, and the other about the trial site.

The materials required for the trial were several very rare ores, and according to Elder Yang, as long as they did not return empty-handed, the trial would be completed. This reveals two pieces of information, one is that there are rare ores in this place, and the other is that those ores must be difficult to obtain. So now the key point is to know where those ores are.

As for this trial venue, the information that Han Nuo currently has is that this place is divided into inner and outer circles. As for why there is a distinction between inner and outer circles, he still doesn't know. The threats in the outer circle are mainly demon beasts, while the threats in the inner circle are mainly Taoist friends. In Han Nuo's eyes, those who are alive are the ones who need to be guarded against the most.

These thoughts only passed in Han Nuo's mind for a moment.

At three o'clock, Han Nuo was concentrating on meditation when he suddenly heard a woman's scream. He immediately opened his eyes, and the voice seemed to come from the direction of the nun he rescued, thinking that the person had suffered an accident. Han Nuo was about to go out and take a look, but the sudden palpitations made him immediately dismiss this thought.

The last time I had this kind of palpitation was on that moonlit night a few years ago. Han Nuo subconsciously cast the Earth Hidden Vientiane to turn himself into one with the elephant bone, and just as he finished performing the spell, a lantern-like blue light flashed in front of him. Han Nuo didn't see what this blue light was, and this blue light flashed after a moment's pause, and then a wall full of scales blocked Han Nuo's face.

After a while, this 'wall' disappeared from Han Nuo's eyes, and he realized in fear that the blue light was actually a giant python's eyes. And the wall is the body of the giant python. He couldn't judge the size of the python, but it was definitely not something he could provoke.

He was a little grateful that he had made such a wise decision, and he was prepared not to leave the elephant bone until dawn. Once again, it turned out to be the right decision.

Han Nuo didn't leave until dawn, and he still put the elephant bone in a storage bag and carried it with him. He glanced to the west, then at the sight of the python on the ground, and finally decided to follow the river. One is because the water is really fast, and the other is because from the experience of the previous day, the river seems to be safer.

Therefore, Han Nuo quickly entered the river again, although he went against the current, but because he did not need to seek the enemy, it was easy and fast.

After swimming forward for about five or six miles, Han Nuo was suddenly attracted by a flashing bright spot. After his analysis last night, there was a high chance that there were minerals in the lake in the center of the ancient battlefield. According to the formation principle of pebbles, it is possible for him to see mineral fragments downstream, which is one of the reasons why he chose to take the waterway, so he has always moved against the riverbed.

Hanno stopped his progress and swam backwards for a while, finding the glittering object in the soft sand, a pearl earring. He had seen this thing, and it was the one worn by the nun he saved last night.

Han Nuo picked it up, held it in his hand and observed it carefully, and some doubts rose in his heart. He carefully surveyed his surroundings and found that the bottom of the riverbed was bare, and there were no aquatic plants and fish in the water. He put away the pearl earrings and swam slowly forward for about a mile, only to find something special.

This is a special place, and it is a little more obvious, because there are clusters of lush aquatic plants growing there. Han Nuo's instincts told him that there must be something hidden here. After using his divine sense to probe several times to ensure safety, Han Nuo pushed aside the water weeds and got in.

Passing through the water and grass is a long cave. If it weren't for the dark 'elevator shaft' in the refining room often, Han Nuo wouldn't have had the courage to enter this cave. It took about half an hour for Han Nuo to emerge from this dark cave.

After burrowing out of the cave, Hanno found himself in a much larger cavern. There was no water in the cave, and there were shimmering ores around it. Han Nuo immediately used the Earth Concealment Technique to hide himself and observe the cave.

At first, he found that the ground under his feet was slippery, which he found very unpleasant, because it was often a 'path' formed by some kind of creature over a long period of time. He immediately thought of last night's python, so he used his divine sense to carefully probe it, but found nothing.

But Han Nuo was not stupid enough to believe that this cave was really empty, after all, the snake was a cold-blooded animal, and his cultivation was still shallow, so he didn't even find a low-level demon beast like Meng Huai yesterday. So he cautiously checked forward little by little, and finally smelled a fishy smell not far from the waterway.

Han Nuo found a pile of tattered rags at the source of the fishy smell, as well as various token-like objects, many of which were exactly the same as the disciple jade plates on his body. He flicked through the pile with his claws, and found that there were many storage bags inside.

Seeing this situation, Han Nuo was both happy and afraid in his heart. The good thing is that these things are undoubtedly a windfall for him, and what he is afraid of is that behind this windfall there must be a demon beast that has killed countless people. Han Nuo didn't immediately bown these things, but continued to explore the cave carefully.

After just a few minutes of exploration, Han Nuo finally found the owner of this cave, and sure enough, it was the giant python with a thick body that he saw last night. But luckily, this python is sleeping. Han Nuo thought about it in his heart, and then he had another bold idea.

He quietly withdrew from the python's lair, and then swam down the wide channel and back to the riverbank. He found another giant skeleton, placed the elephant's head nearby, and hid it to cultivate. He hid inside until the sun was about to go down.

He first came to the outside of the waterway, and hid himself thirty feet from the water and grass. Then he waited patiently, and waited, and waited until the time came.

Just after the hour, the water and grass opened in two. The python came out of the cave very quickly and quickly came ashore. Han Nuo didn't show up immediately, but waited a quarter of an hour before burrowing into the cave.

He quickly found the pile of fishy items, and found that there were some more complete pieces of robes in the rags. He put them all away, took another bag and put the rest in one go. Han Nuo put away these things and did not leave immediately, but entered the depths of the python's lair. There is no other reason than that there are still many snake eggs here.

Han Nuo carefully put away the two snake eggs, for fear that two small snakes would suddenly pop out of these snake eggs. After taking the snake's eggs, he walked out of the waterway satisfied.

After coming out, Han Nuo immediately swam west along the river, and his intuition told him that those demon beasts might not be able to enter the inner circle, which may be the reason why all the elders of the sect warned the disciples to enter the inner circle quickly.

Just when he was still ten miles away from the central lake, Han Nuo heard a strange long whistle suddenly coming from behind him, this whistling sound was sharp and long, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a dragon's roar. Han Nuo looked back in the direction where the voice came from, and found that there was a powerful spiritual pressure in the river rushing in his direction.

Han Nuo was terrified when he saw this, this must be the giant python that found out that he had stolen the snake eggs and chased after him. He immediately quickened his pace and swam forward, and when he was still about five miles from the lake, he felt as if he had passed through some kind of prohibition. But he still didn't let go, and continued to move forward at a rapid pace.

Soon after, he heard the sharp whistling again, only now it became impatient and frenzied. He slowed down and looked behind him, and sure enough, he saw that the python was wandering back and forth a hundred feet behind him, but it had no intention of rushing towards him. He breathed a sigh of relief and swam calmly ahead.

However, this state of calm and relaxation did not last long, and Han Nuo soon discovered that the cruelty of this inner circle was not only cruel, but cruel.

He came ashore three miles from the lake, because there were suddenly many unknown fish in the water, and most importantly, there were many more remnants of Taoist friends in the river. He came out of the water and was sick on the shore for a while. Then he looked around and dived towards a forest of trees.

Before he could enter the forest, Han Nuo heard the sound of a fight. Han Nuo took a closer look and saw that there were seven people fighting in the forest. Five of them were the group that had seen Luo Luo Bird kill before, while the other two were wearing white cloud robes. Judging by the situation, it is clear that the side with more people has the upper hand.

I saw that the five of them were frantically attacking Han Nuo's two fellow disciples with their respective magic weapons, while the defenders were struggling to support them with the shield spread out by a gossip mirror.

Han Nuo analyzed the current situation, among the five people, three used flying sword magic weapons, and one person's magic weapon was a logging axe, and the person in the center drove a shield through a bowl-shaped magic weapon to cover the five people. This offensive and defensive formation made Han Nuo feel a little helpless, so he was ready to get up and leave.

At this moment, the sound of a snake in the distance sounded again. "Senior Brother Ram, that voice is here again!" The disciple who drove the logging axe seemed to be a little flustered. Hearing this, the young man in the middle, surnamed Ram, glanced in the direction of the snake's chirping, and the sound was indeed getting closer and closer each time.

The man withdrew his gaze, glanced around again, and looked at the two Tianyun Sect disciples opposite, as if he had made up his mind. He pointed and put the bowl away, and the cyan shield was withdrawn. Then he sacrificed the talisman that Han Nuo had seen before, and injected spiritual energy into it, ready to drive the cyan sword.

As soon as Han Nuo saw this, his eyes rolled, and he immediately put his hands together and started the Ten Thousand Swords Technique. It wasn't until some golden light spilled from his fingertips that he stretched out his arms to the five people. Suddenly, hundreds of lightsabers condensed by spiritual energy appeared in the sky above the five people, and before the five people who realized that something was wrong could react, they were instantly penetrated by these lightsabers.

The two disciples of Tianyun Sect were already desperate, but when they saw the sudden change in the situation, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, but they turned into terrified. Han Nuo removed the exoskeleton armor on his body, changed into a white cloud robe and jumped in front of the two. The two were overjoyed when they saw this, and barely supported their bodies to get up and thank Han Nuo.

Han Nuo smiled at the two of them, and turned his head to look at the five people who had been put down by him. The two fellow disciples immediately understood what Han Nuo meant, and the person holding the gossip mirror immediately arched his hand and said, "Under Feng Xiuwei, this is Senior Brother Wu, I don't know what this fellow disciple is called?" ”

"My name is Han Nuo, and I am a disciple who just started last year, are the two senior brothers okay?" Han Nuo unceremoniously put away the storage bags of the five people in his hand, as for the few magic weapons, he didn't look at them, because these things didn't seem to be very powerful, and the talisman that could summon the green sword was put away by him.

Feng and Wu didn't have any dissatisfaction with his actions, but they were still a little surprised by his status when he had just started for a year, after all, they had all been starting for many years before they came to participate in the trial until they had completed their qi refining. "It's fine, just rest for a while and recover." Senior Brother Wu replied.

"These magic weapons on the ground are not of much help below, please let the two senior brothers take them for self-defense. Before you find the quest items you need for the trial, you'll be one step ahead. Han Nuo said goodbye to the two. The two of them also bowed their hands to them, but their eyes fell on the four magic weapons on the ground.

Han Nuo immediately left, and as soon as he left, he changed into that exoskeleton suit and armor and cast the Nine Illusions of Wood Concealment and disappeared into the forest.

After that, Han Nuo walked through the woods all the way to the edge of the lake. It's not that he didn't want to stay in the woods until dawn, but what he saw along the way was too bloody. Those who killed and looted the treasure didn't even clean up the battlefield, leaving those broken bodies to lie on the ground. Han Nuo felt that every step he took was stepping on the bones of someone who had fallen here at some point, and with each step, his feet creaked, causing a wave of disgust in his heart. But he knew very well that it was not only the cultivators here who caused this situation, but also the high-ranking monks outside who were sanctimonious, and the most fundamental thing was human nature.

He entered the lake in a relatively clean water, and as soon as he entered the water, he dived to the bottom of the lake with a hundred currents. In contrast to the clear surface of the lake, the bottom of the lake is full of undercurrents, the water is extremely turbid, and the visual distance is very short.

is also glad that he happened to choose this chicken rib spiritual concealment technique, and he also has five kinds of spiritual energy at the same time, so he can be like a fish in water in this place of trial. After a while, he found a piece of ore at the bottom of the lake, judging from the texture of the ore, this is exactly one of the ores required by the trial mission, Yunsi Gold.

Since Han Nuo had obtained this cloud silk gold, he naturally wanted to reap some more benefits, so he mined several more ores. It wasn't until he began to feel a little suffocated that he slowly floated upwards. But strangely, as soon as he came out of the murky water, the feeling of suffocation was gone. And he found another phenomenon, that is, there are only fish in the clear water, and there are no fish in the turbid water.

Seeing this, a thought quickly flashed through Han Nuo's heart. He caught a fish nearby and threw it into the muddy water, and what happened next confirmed his thoughts. I saw that the fish quickly turned into a pool of blood in the turbid water, and then instantly merged with the turbid water and disappeared.

It turns out that this turbid water is the poisonous water in the Maoxian River. Han Nuo couldn't explain the reason even if he wanted to break his head, so he gently stretched a hand into the muddy water. This time, he used his mind to feel the turbid water near his hand, and noticed that there was a trace of black aura around his arm, but it dissipated before it could touch him.

Han Nuo felt something like some kind of aura shield at the place where the black aura dissipated, and this unknown shield seemed to wrap around his whole body. He was surprised, he didn't know where the shield that protected him came from, but one thing was certain, the shield had protected him over and over again. It seems that there are some puzzles waiting for Han Nuo to solve, both in the water of the Immortal River and in himself.
