Chapter 155: The First Floor of the Labyrinth
After Xiao Chen jumped onto the stone bridge, Xue Wei Xuerui, as well as Anya and others also jumped on the chain bridge.
A dozen people were left on the stone platform, and the remaining fifty or so people went up to the chain bridge, and they walked towards one end of the chain bridge, and soon fell into thick smoke.
Black smoke and dust billowed and erupted from the magma below, and a strong sulfur smell permeated the surroundings, and these fifty or so people walked forward in the thick smoke, everyone was very vigilant and cautious.
After all, on the chain bridge in front of them just now, those terrifying flame crows made their hearts palpitate.
Who knows, there are still dangers waiting for them on this bridge, so everyone's hearts are broken, and there are several layers of protection on their bodies, and the mana in their bodies is also on the verge of exploding at any time.
Xiao Chen followed behind the bald head, his eyes flashing with white light.
His spiritual sense permeated all around him, and he could sense any change in this dark environment.
To his surprise, no matter how much his thoughts spread, there was nothing out of the ordinary...... This gave him a strange look in his eyes.
Everyone walked farther and farther, and after I don't know how long, the smoke in front of them suddenly dispersed, and everyone found that they had reached the other end of the bridge.
A huge hole was right in front of them, and the end of the chain bridge was at this hole.
The fifty or so priests all passed the stone bridge unharmed, and there was no obstacle at all, except for the thick smoke.
The priests stepped onto the ground, still unconvinced.
"What's going on, it's over the chain bridge, there's nothing. A priest looked left and right, still skeptical.
"How can this be?" and some of the other mages were also watching around cautiously, still wondering if there might be some danger popping up.
"Hey, come and see, there's a door here. One of the priests shouted.
People walked over and found that on the left side of this huge hole, there was a metal door frame, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like a harp.
"It's like the jamb of any door. "The priests present recognized it.
Just when everyone was talking. The door frame was buzzing, and purple light appeared in the door frame, causing everyone to take a few steps back.
As an oval-shaped purple corrugated light door emerged, I saw a voice coming from inside the door: "Students, I am Mentor Cole of the Inner Courtyard, here, I congratulate you in advance, after the second round of assessment, you have officially become a student of the Inner Courtyard." ”
"What?" the students present looked at the purple door of light in amazement.
"Are you still skeptical, don't doubt ......" The voice inside the purple light gate chuckled: "The first chain bridge just now is to test your ability, being able to pass through such a chain bridge under the attack of countless flame crows has proven that your ability is outstanding, and you have a strong ability to adapt." And the second chain bridge, there is no danger, set up the second chain bridge, is to test your courage and faith, if the courage is insufficient, the belief is not strong, even if you are lucky to pass the first chain bridge, do not have the courage to step on the second chain bridge, because they will be afraid, afraid of the unknown danger ahead, afraid of losing their lives. And you, who have successfully passed the double test of ability and courage, are qualified to enter the inner courtyard and become the most elite students of our Tianxing Academy. ”
The voice spoke.
Everyone present was stunned for a moment and cheered.
Unexpectedly, they passed the assessment.
Some of the students were secretly glad that they had just hesitated on the stone platform in front of the second section of the chain bridge, but finally walked up to the second section of the chain bridge.
"Haha, those idiots, didn't get on the second bridge. There were also students, laughing at the dozen or so students who had just stayed on the stone platform.
Those students never thought that the second chain bridge was not dangerous at all, and they would come over so easily.
"Sister Anya, you said that this would be a lie. Xue Wei looked at the purple light gate and asked in a low voice.
"Probably not," Anya said: "Generally, the pass rate of the second round of the inner court assessment is about half, which is actually very small, compared to so many people in the outer court." ”
The Intermediate Ministry of Magic was close to 100,000 people, and more than 400 people entered the second round, and then half of them were brushed off, leaving only about 200 people, which is indeed very few.
At this time, the voice sounded again: "All the students who have passed the second round of assessment, you can have two choices next, one is to pass through this arbitrary door and come to the third layer, which means that your assessment has ended." In addition, we have also set up a third round of assessment, in fact, this is an additional assessment, which does not affect your entry into the inner courtyard, but this assessment is very dangerous, so I will make a statement in advance.
First of all, this underground palace is the underground ruins found by our courtyard, and it is real. The tomb of a ** division used to be a master, with a total of three floors, after the exploration and transformation of our hospital, the chain bridge you just passed, in fact, is only the periphery of this underground labyrinth, and did not enter the inside of the labyrinth, and those magma and the like are just illusions, so the students who fell into the magma in the assessment just now will not really die......"
"But the third round of assessment we set up is to really enter the first layer of this underground labyrinth and find the most central door to come out, this is very difficult, and it will really die, I can tell you that even if a nine-star mage enters the depths, he will die if he is not careful, even a mage may be injured. Of course, relatively speaking, there are also a lot of treasures in it, so you have to think clearly, whether to continue the third round of assessment, my suggestion is to at least reach the strength of eight stars before entering, otherwise you will definitely die. I'll give you ten minutes to think about it, and in ten minutes, this arbitrary door will close. ”
"And a third round of assessments?"
Everyone present screamed and discussed.
"Those were all illusions, such real illusions?" some of the students were visibly shocked.
"Didn't you hear? This is the tomb of a ** teacher, ** teacher, that kind of existence, what's so strange about making a fantasy. Someone said disdainfully.
"Bran, are you going to do the third round of assessments?"
"I, I'll forget it. I'm still a seven-star, didn't you listen to what the voice said just now, the next thing is to enter the first layer of the labyrinth, and if you don't have the strength of an eight-star to enter, you will inevitably die in a lifetime, anyway, now that I have passed the assessment of the inner courtyard, there is no need to take such a big risk for a little treasure. A priest named Bran said.
Then he walked through the purple arbitrary door and disappeared into it.
As soon as Bran walked in, some of the mages who were obviously still seven stars walked through the door.
Of course, there were some people who didn't believe it at all, and the bald mage stood aside with a sneer, obviously not intending to enter any door. There are also some people who claim to be strong, but they also did not enter the door. Among them, the flame woman Anya did not move.
"Young Master, are we still going to have a third round of assessment?" Xue Wei Xue Rui looked at Xiao Chen.
"The underground labyrinth, the tomb of the ** division. Xiao Chen was already a little attracted at this time, and he said, "Go on." ”
He knew from the voice just now that this underground labyrinth has three layers, and if the first layer is as the voice said, even the mage will be at risk, then what about the second and third layers.
Xiao Chen was a little moved.
Ten minutes passed, and the voice came again: "Finally, I would like to remind you that any door is about to close, and if you want to come out, come out quickly." ”
After waiting for a few seconds, the voice saw that no one responded, and his voice was a little serious: "It seems that you remaining students have made up their minds to go to the third round of assessment, since you are so confident, I can't stop you, and I still admire your courage." But courage is not a substitute for strength, one thing I want to warn you about, there are many dangers on the first floor of the underground labyrinth, if you feel that you can't deal with those dangers, it's best to stop, don't go blindly deeper, after a day, someone will come in and take you out. The entrance to the first floor of the underground labyrinth is in this huge hole, okay, that's all I have to say, good luck to everyone!"
With that, the purple light door flashed and disappeared, leaving only a metal door frame.
There are a total of twenty-three people left, each of whom is a person with outstanding strength, among whom there are many eight-star powerhouses, even if it is a seven-star, these people probably also have some hole card means, and their strength cannot be determined by a simple star rating.
Anya was not surprised to see that Xiao Chen and the others were still there, on the chain bridge, the strength shown by Xiao Chen and the others made her know that the strength of these three youngest people was very strong.
She walked up to Xue Wei Xuerui and whispered, "Let's go together!"
Xue Wei Xue Rui nodded.
These more than 20 people all walked towards the cave, the huge cave was dark, everyone walked hundreds of meters inside, and a stone step down appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone went down without saying a word. The stone steps stretched all the way down, and everyone walked hundreds of meters to a square platform, the ground was inlaid with huge rock plates, and a huge skull-shaped stone sculpture stood on the platform, this skull was ten meters high, I don't know what beast's head was carved, the face was hideous, there were barbs on the head, the mouth was wide open, and in the mouth, circles of purple ripples rippled.
The purple ripples, like the purple light in any door, it was obvious that this huge beast's mouth was an entrance.
Seeing this weird, strict, and dark environment, everyone couldn't help but tremble.
But it didn't take long for the bald mage to be the first to walk into the beast's mouth, and with a wave of purple ripples, his man disappeared into the beast's mouth.
"Let's go, let's go in. "Since they came, there was no reason to retreat, and the people present entered the mouth of the beast one by one.
Xiao Chen also stepped into the beast's mouth......
