Chapter 162: The Road of Trials
A moment later, the three-way drum sounded, and under the expectant gaze of everyone, the huge wall directly behind the inner gate square suddenly cracked open, and a far-reaching stone passage appeared, and a faint light could be seen in the deepest part of the darkness in the passage, which obviously should have an exit.
At this time, the Seven Elders who walked down the stone platform said aloud to everyone in the square: "Everyone has seen it, this year's test method has not changed, it is still through this 'trial road', the first to reach the end is the winner, and those who have not reached the end more than an hour will be eliminated......
The voice of the Seven Elders was not loud, but under the infusion of the inner vitality, the "buzz" vibrated and spread all over a radius of hundreds of zhang, and every word was clearly audible.
After the speech of the Seven Elders, all the people in the inner gate immediately walked into the dark passage one after another under the guidance of several deacons.
As the last man stepped into the passage, the thick wall behind them "rumbled" shut, and the passage was plunged into darkness for a moment.
In the darkness, everyone couldn't help but be excited and nervous, not knowing what they would face.
Although every year is exactly the same "Path of Trials" test, the content of the tests on the road of trials is different every year, so even the old people who have participated in several trials of the road of trials have no idea about the tests they are about to face, and their eyes are blackened, which is not much better than that of newcomers.
The darkness in the passage lasted only for the blink of an eye, and the walls around the passage were lit with fire, and a row of untold numbers of oil lamps on both sides of the wall were lit at the same time, and the dim light dispelled the darkness of the passage.
At the same time as the lights came on, everyone saw a conspicuous red straight line on the ground almost at the same time, and this straight line was obviously the starting line.
Although they saw the starting line, everyone looked around, and no one crossed the starting line first. After all, they are all disciples of the family, the elite of the elite, and they will never be stupid, they all know very well in their hearts that if they cross the starting line first, they will become the focus of everyone, and they may face the indiscriminate bombardment of the group attacking.
"Hahaha! Everything hasn't changed, it's still the same! I'll take the lead and leave first!"
In the chic laughter, Ning Zihou shook the golden jade folding fan, flicked the dust on the brocade robe, strode forward, and was the first to raise his legs and stride across the starting line, walking towards the depths of the passage. He walked easily, without the slightest vigilance, and did not mean to look back, as if he regarded the people behind him as air.
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't act rashly, Ning Zihou's strength was there, and no one dared to shake the position of the chief disciple of the inner sect for many years, naturally no one would be stupid enough to take the initiative to step forward and lose face. Everyone tacitly agreed that Ning Zihou was qualified to be the first to cross the starting line.
While Ning Zihou walked across the starting line, Ning Chong raised his eyebrows, did not hesitate any longer, strode out of the crowd, and crossed the starting line in one step. Since he had already regarded Ning Zihou as an opponent, he also planned to snatch the position of the first person of the younger generation of the family from Ning Zihou, and after the competition began at this time, he naturally could not lag behind Ning Zihou.
It's just that, compared to Ning Zihou, even if Ning Chong has the reputation of defeating Nalan Weak Snow, most of the people have not seen it with their own eyes, so naturally they don't have that much deterrent power. He followed Ning Zihou closely, and the second one crossed the starting line, which immediately aroused the anger of all the inner disciples.
"What a boy who doesn't know whether to live or die!" Hidden in the crowd, the most hopeful Ning Chong's unlucky Ban Cuntou was the first to speak out and add fuel to the fire, "Senior Brother Ning Zihou can go first, that's because he has such strength, and you are a waste with a Five Elements Root Bone qualification who is also worthy of the second to go?"
"That's right! This kid is just a newcomer who has just entered the inner door of the family, but he is so arrogant, not only does he dare to hit the old man who has entered the inner door, but now he dares to cross the starting line before us old men! It's just lawless!"
"Let this newcomer boy know how powerful the old people in our inner door are! Let him know how to write the word 'death'!"
...... Although the momentum was overwhelming, the inner disciples were still a little afraid of Ning Chong, who had defeated Nalan Weak Snow, and roared excitedly, seeing that Ning Chong had already walked five or six steps beyond the starting line, and finally someone took the lead in rushing up.
Someone took the lead, and there was a chain reaction immediately, everyone roared angrily, and the target was directed at Ning Chong, and a group of wasps rushed across the starting line. They were afraid of Ning Chong, and their idea was basically to overwhelm Ning Chong with a numerical advantage.
Ning Chong was calm about this, among the inner disciples of this family, except for one Ning Zihou, no one's strength could be put in his eyes, no matter how many people there were in front of him, they were just a group of rabble, vulnerable!
"Kill him!"
Ban Cuntou shouted urgently, rushed up first, and attacked towards Ning Chong. The rest of the people also took the opportunity to rush forward, smiling and pounced on Ning Chong, as if they had seen Ning Chong paralyzed on the ground like mud under their chaotic fists and feet.
"This group of fools is really blind, dare to provoke Ning Chong, do they really think that Ning Chong can defeat Nalan Weak Snow by luck?
Ning Mofeng didn't follow the crowd, he stared boredly at the upcoming battle ahead, grinning and shaking his head. Next to him, Ning Queyue pursed her lips and smiled, she naturally believed in Ning Chong's strength, and she was not worried about Ning Chong at all, but she felt a little pity for this group of fools who were about to lose face.
Ning Zihou had already gone away, Ning Chong didn't want to waste time, and in the face of the people who rushed up, he chose to fight quickly!
Suddenly!
There was a wind sound under his feet, and Ning Chong stepped on the "wind step", and the whole person was like an elegant wind, plunging into the crowd.
Bang Bang Bang!
A series of dense blows sounded, mixed with the screams of people, and when everyone rushed up, they were violent, but they all came at a faster speed, and they all came to a trick of "butt backwards flat sand and geese" style, which was so ugly that they screamed and fell back, smashing up the dust on the ground.
For a while, only a dozen or so people who didn't join in the fun and followed the action stared at them, most of them had seen Ning Chong's battle with their own eyes, and they knew Ning Chong's strength, and they had foreseen the fate of the people who rushed up. But they never expected that the people who rushed forward would be defeated so quickly! Dozens of people, almost with a few moves, fell back with bruises and swollen faces!
Perverted! It is worthy of a strong rise and an unstoppable genius, this Ning Chong's strength seems to have improved a lot compared to a month ago! Several people exclaimed and sighed, looking at the people rolling on the ground, they were secretly glad in their hearts for their cleverness.
