Chapter 32: Into the Abyss of Purgatory
Dawn broke, clouds were thick, and rays of dawn appeared in the darkness.
The Qingyun Mountains are full of mountains, strange mountains stand tall, verdant and steep, and the clouds cover the mist.
On the huge Purgatory Square, the smoke was filled, the figures were shaking, and the 20,000 freshmen were ready to go, all of them full of vigor and high morale.
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"
The sound of the morning bell came from the distant mountains, melodious and tactful, resounding through the sky, like the sound of heaven.
The noisy sound in the square fell silent, and tens of thousands of new students listened attentively, immersed in the beautiful rhyme.
Suddenly, streamers flew in all directions, and dozens of figures of fairy wind bones appeared on the high platform behind the square, and everyone had a divine light lingering on their bodies, and the Dao rhyme fluctuated all over their bodies.
Among them, there are white-haired old men in Hedao, sharp-eyed kendo powerhouses, stunning women with fairy appearances, and handsome men with crane hair and childish faces......
These big names in Cloud Palace Academy have a strange and extraordinary momentum, and their Taoism is unfathomable, and their mysteries are indescribable.
All the freshmen looked sideways, stunned, as if they had seen a true immortal.
"New students, welcome to Cloud Palace Academy, the old man is the vice president of Hutt, who is responsible for presiding over this freshman trial."
A handsome man with crane hair and a childish face walked to the front of the high platform, with a faint smile on his face, his eyes were as bright as stars, and his every move was world-shattering, faintly permeating a shocking coercion.
At a glance, it gives people the feeling of seeing a fairy, and many girls show fanatical eyes, as if they are guilty of nymphomania.
"Next, the Purgatory Trial is about to begin, everyone should pay attention, after arriving at the Purgatory Abyss, you can only move in the area displayed on the map, don't run around, there are still many unknown areas, there is a great risk."
"I can tell you clearly, the Purgatory Abyss is a small underground world, and it is connected to the underworld, the degree of danger can be imagined, I won't say much about the rest, I wish you good luck."
The underworld? Many freshmen were shocked to hear this astonishing secret for the first time.
Only a few of the children of the ancient family understood that there were three thousand worlds in the primeval period, and after the Ragnarok Havoc, most of the worlds had been shattered, and some worlds remained, and there were even some immortal ruins.
"Please, elders, open the gates of Purgatory." Vice President Hurt looked at the middle of the Twin Peaks.
I saw that the six white-haired elders formed a small circle, all solemn and solemn, each holding a strange magic weapon in their hands, and the ground was covered with order flags, forming a strange magic circle.
As the chanting sounded, the black mist inside the circle steamed, gradually rotating in three dimensions, and faster and faster, endless black gas, forming a bottomless vortex.
When the freshmen were stunned and dumbfounded.
An illusory teleportation light gate quietly appeared in the magic circle, and the black light patterns rippled and swirled, appearing incomparably deep, as if there was an aura of reincarnation of time, full of mystery.
"The gate of purgatory is open for three days, how much Yuan Spirit Essence can be obtained, it depends on each person's ability, everyone must return within three days, and if they do not wait for the deadline, they will bear the consequences."
The sound of stern warnings, like thunder on the ground, suddenly sounded in the ears of all the new students, making people deafening and can't help but remember it.
"Taoism follows the law?" Shu Yi's eyes froze, and he felt something in his heart.
It is said that those who are powerful and profound, with their words and deeds, can affect the heavens and the earth, call for wind and rain, and move mountains and seas......
"The time has come, and the mentors organize the new students to start the trial."
Subsequently, under the methodical guidance of more than a dozen mentors, small teams of freshmen stepped into the Purgatory Light Gate one after another, disappeared one after another, and entered the purgatory abyss for trials.
"Shu Yi, there are more than 20,000 freshmen participating in the trial this time, and my requirements are not high, as long as you get the top 100 and can be on the freshman list, you have no problem, right?" Nangong Yu said with a smile.
She came to the freshman team of Wushi City early in the morning, and repeatedly told the freshmen to pay attention to the rules of the trial.
"Top 100? I'll try my best! Shu Yi frowned and smiled bitterly.
It is not an ordinary difficulty to get the top 100 places from the 20,000 freshmen!
You must know that those freshmen are not vegetarians, all of them are outstanding top students, and there are many freaks who are born with supernatural gods.
"Not as much as possible, you have to be in the top hundred, understand?" Nangong Yu couldn't deny it, and said solemnly: "Hmph! You're my first student, don't let me be ashamed! Otherwise you look good. ”
I'm dizzy! This is also a yarn...... There is no right to refuse!
Shu Yi felt very depressed, when he met such a rude mentor, what else could he do to bite the bullet!
The other personnel in Wushi City all looked at the young teachers and students, silently watching the excitement.
"Alright! I promise you. Shu Yi gritted his teeth and nodded, staring at her and teasingly: "My mentor, dare to ask me if I enter the top 100, what reward can you give me?" ”
Nangong Yu Zhanyan chuckled: "Hehe! Well, this one! Don't worry, when the time comes, the teacher will reward you. ”
After hearing this, the flower butterfly next to her hurriedly hugged Nangong Yu's arm and said coquettishly: "Sister Nangong Master, I want it too, I also want to reward you!" ”
"Good, good! Fluttershy, as long as you can make it to the top 1,000, there will be a reward. Nangong Yu turned around and touched the little head of the flower butterfly.
When he was in Wushi City, Nangong Yu had been living in Hua's house, and had a very close relationship with Hua Xiangrong and Hua Butterfly, and he talked about everything.
"I'm going to be in the top 100? She just needs to be in the top thousand? This is a preference for women over men......" Shu Yi was speechless for a moment, secretly resentful.
"Team Wushi, it's your turn to go." There was a shout from ahead.
Each squad is almost always named after the original city.
At this moment, there are a lot fewer freshmen on the Purgatory Square, and more than half of them have already entered.
The trial of purgatory has finally arrived......
The nine freshmen of Wushi City strode forward, and under the gaze of everyone, they stepped into the Purgatory Light Gate one by one.
When teleporting, I felt plunged into endless darkness, as if I had entered a space-time tunnel, and I felt dizzy for a while, and after a while, I returned to normal.
When he was grounded again, Shu Yi couldn't help but stumble and appeared in a dim wasteland.
Looking up, in the darkness, you can vaguely see white bones everywhere, humanoids, beasts, and even monsters, mountains of bones, quietly towering in the wasteland.
There were also some skeleton monsters scattered around, some squeaking and biting something, and some moving slowly and aimlessly.
In the distance, ghost fires are lit, like stars in the sky, flickering everywhere, and there is an indescribable horror.
A gust of wind blew, making a whining sound, and it felt cold and made the hair stand on end.
Everything has a way to survive, yin spirits and ghosts survive in a unique way, they belong to special life, and they continue to devour the surrounding aura, so as to improve their own strength, and as their cultivation grows, their spiritual wisdom will become higher and higher.
"Inside the Purgatory Abyss, it is really unusual, there are some eerie places, strange and scary." When Shu Yi was shocked, he took out the Qingling jade card and checked the map first.
The red dots above show that he is currently in the Bone Wasteland, and there are several green dots around him, showing the locations of several teammates in Wushi City, which are actually in several different areas.
Ghost City, Guyin Mountain, Ghost King Palace, Dark Forest, Lake of the Dead, Huangquan River, Bone Dragon Lair, White Bone Wasteland, Soul Burial Ridge......
If you look closely, you can't even have teammates in the same place, and this luck is enough to carry it.
At this time, the noisy and frightened voices of teammates came from inside the Qingling jade card, and the others didn't have to worry, Shu Yi skipped it directly.
"Mom! I'm on the banks of the Yellow Springs River, and there's a lot of dirty stuff, ah...... Help! Brother Shu Yi, come and save me! Woowoo woo ......"
The heart-rending screams of the flowers and butterflies are repeated, and the listeners are sad and the listeners cry.
"This little girl, she's too timid, and she makes a fuss and shouts for help as soon as she comes in."
Shu Yi laughed, couldn't help but be a little worried about her, and quickly checked the map again.
It was found that this side was far away from the Huangquan River, and it was necessary to cross several dangerous areas to reach the ......
"Fluttershy, you don't matter, do you? I'm too far away from you, I won't be able to catch up for a while, you can find a way to hide first, and I'll come over as soon as possible. Shu Yi said helplessly.
"Woo...... Brother Shu Yi, I'm so scared, you must come quickly......" Hua Butterfly was so frightened that she couldn't cry.
"I see, you can try your skills too, don't scare a few gadgets......"
Just as Shu Yi was speaking, not far away, a skeleton monster quietly approached him.
The skeleton monster also has the ability to perceive, Shu Yi's body is full of blood, and his aura is different from here, and he is still talking loudly, it is easy to find his existence.
Shu Yi was keenly aware of the abnormal movement and turned his head to look over.
A humanoid white skeleton, exuding powerful aura fluctuations all over its body, its eyes were dark red, revealing a demonic and bloodthirsty light, and a sharp bone knife in his hand was moving towards him.
"First-order skeleton monster, it's good to come!"
The corners of Shu Yi's mouth rose slightly, and he was about to try what the strength of the skeleton monsters here was.
According to the internal information of the academy, all the Yin Spirit monsters in the Purgatory Abyss have a detailed division of their strength, and there are several kinds of skeleton monsters on the White Bone Wasteland, which can be distinguished by the color of the skeleton.
First-order skeleton guards, white skeletons.
Skeleton Leader of the Second Order, Blue Skeleton.
A third-order skeleton general, a silver skeleton.
Fourth-order skeleton elves, blood-colored skeletons.
Skeletron of the fifth order, golden skeleton.
At the same time, each rank also has a high and low level, identified by the color of the skeleton, the skeleton guard of the first order, the strength may not be inferior to the monk of the first heaven, if you don't have some real skills, don't think about winning easily.
"Quack Quack ......"
The skeleton guard's teeth kept biting, making a strange demonstration sound, and his whole body shook into layers of ripples, and his feet kicked violently, and he flew towards Shu Yi with a knife, his speed was fast and his momentum was quite strong.
Shu Yi's eyes froze, and his figure flashed to the left.
Woo –
There was a sound of breaking the sky, and the afterimage was cut in half by the bone knife, and the knife qi fell to the ground, drawing a two-meter-long crack, setting off a burst of ashes and dust.
Shu Yi was taken aback, this kind of power was obviously not weaker than a full-strength attack in the middle of Qi refining, and it should not be underestimated.
The skeleton guard did not hesitate to miss, and then rushed over again, the bone knife was bright and white, piercing through the void and slashing down, overflowing with a terrifying energy.
Shu Yi's figure moved away, and with a crisp sound, the Yin and Yang Wuji Knife suddenly came out of its sheath.
The skeleton guards followed them and quickly pursued them.
Shu Yi cast a phantom light step, and his figure turned into a streamer, staggering with the skeleton guard.
I saw that a blazing flame suddenly lit up in the darkness, and the scimitar slashed like lightning, leaving a piece of fire element in the air.
The skeleton guard's body was cut in half, his body trembled, and he only heard a click, and finally broke into two and fell to the ground, his breath quickly collapsed, and he opened his big mouth, and ended unwillingly.
Suddenly, a white ball of light the size of a walnut slowly floated on the chest of the skeleton, exuding pure aura fluctuations.
Essence of the Spirit?
