Chapter 492: Sword Island
The appetite of the Sword Hall is too great! Lu Ming couldn't help frowning, but after this assessment, I don't know how many swordsmen have fallen here, and how many people can go to the ring and come down in the future?
These are elite swordsmen, not only representing national strength, but also the future kendo inheritance.
If most of them die in battle, or if they can no longer hold swords, the splendor of the way of the sword will be mastered by only one or a few sects, but it will lose its diversity.
As the saying goes, there are thousands of avenues, and even if there is glory in the future, it cannot make up for this loss.
Lu Ming didn't have the heart to care about these things, he just couldn't help but think, this may be the keen insight of a top killer.
Lu Ming waved away his thoughts, and let the brothers start to prepare, and he also returned to the room and began to cultivate.
The night passed quickly.
When the sun sweeps away the last traces of darkness and brings warmth, the rainforest ushers in a new day.
The early morning on Sword Island is undoubtedly beautiful.
Lu Ming stood on the beach not far from the camp, the sea breeze with a wet face slowly blowing, the wind has a unique smell, which makes people feel very comfortable, and the joy of the seabirds indicates the beginning of a new day.
One after another, there were already swordsmen with their equipment to gather in the central square, and Lu Ming was also notified by the staff: bring all their equipment and go to the square to assemble.
Lu Ming was not in a hurry, he liked the tranquility at the moment, because after the gathering, he didn't know how many days he would not be able to enjoy this tranquility.
Tens of thousands of swordsmen had already gathered in the square, and the crowd was surging. It is as boundless as the sea, and the noise is more like the tide of the sea.
Lu Ming couldn't help frowning again, he instinctively didn't like such an occasion. However, as Lu Ming walked into the square, a small circle was automatically let out, and in this kind of place, everyone had their own small quiet place.
Lu Ming didn't feel any sense of this isolation, he looked at the swordsmen around him and smiled, those people either turned their heads or bowed their heads. Or suddenly I started talking to the person next to me. It's as if everything in Fang Cai has nothing to do with him.
But Lu Ming still saw threat, fear, unwillingness, and waiting for an opportunity from the depths of their eyes.
Instead of thanking themselves for removing the threat of the tsunami sword at that time, they threw all their negative emotions at themselves who did not take advantage of the danger......
This is human nature! Lu Ming sighed speechlessly, and then felt a fierce gaze again. It's like a sharp blade. I want to smash myself.
No surprises. Lu Ming saw the tsunami sword body Fang Tian smiled, his face was still a little pale, but it was fine. You can still get ready to go.
Regarding Fang Tianxiao's hostility, Lu Ming didn't care. Like Fang Tianxiao, who has a strong talent and a fairly good background, he has grown up in the envy and praise of others since he was a child, and in Lu Ming's eyes, he can only be regarded as a greenhouse flower with a few small thorns at most.
But no matter what, it is impossible to grow into a giant tree in a greenhouse.
At this time, a tall middle-aged man walked onto the high platform at the top of the square. He whispered a few words to the staff next to him, and then looked at the swordsman in the square.
Lu Ming clearly heard this person ask if the number of people had arrived, but the moment he looked at the square, those eyes that were not too big immediately included the entire square, and his seemingly empty eyes made everyone present feel that he was looking at himself.
In Lu Ming's perception, this person is like a sea, vast and boundless, under the calm sea, but he doesn't know what kind of power he has.
Judging from the several Sword Hall Sword Venerables he has seen, their strength is even worse than this person, so it is inferred that he must have the strength of an intermediate Sword Venerable!
On the pyramid of the Sword Qi Continent's swordsmen, it is definitely an existence at the tip.
However, Lu Ming knew that his middle-aged appearance was just a signboard, and he was actually more than two hundred years old, but he was also a fairly young Sword Venerable.
"You, whether men or women, are all swordsmen, the elite of the elite!"
The middle-aged man spoke, his tone was very low, but it had a strange charm, as if it was ringing in everyone's ears. The swordsmen in the field were all shocked and energetic, and the eyes of several female swordsmen became more and more shining.
The scene of tens of thousands of people was so spectacular, but it was also very noisy, but the middle-aged Sword Venerable was very patient, and he waited for the swordsmen's mood to stabilize a little before continuing: "You have your own dreams and your own pursuits, although you are all elites, although elites are also differentiated. But I don't think you're any worse than anybody!"
With a buzz, the swordsmen shook again, as swordsmen, and to be able to come here, who would admit that they were bad? They all looked at the more famous swordsmen, their faces full of pride.
"Okay! Very good! Then now on behalf of the Sword Hall, welcome everyone to Sword Island!"
"Lord Xie!" the swordsmen shouted in unison as if they had been rehearsed.
Self-confidence is indeed a powerful weapon, although excessive self-confidence can only bring destruction, but without self-confidence, it is self-destruction.
Lu Ming smiled slightly in his heart, although the words of the middle-aged Sword Venerable were very simple and simple. But it aroused the expectations in everyone's hearts, making everyone energetic and confident, instead of being held down steadily by a few famous swordsmen.
"Then, I will announce the first assessment. ”
With the middle-aged Sword Venerable's words, the two young staff members carried a huge scroll of paintings, and then unfolded them, with a sword painted on it, a broken sword.
Broken sword? Lu Ming's heart jumped immediately, this kind of broken sword is simply too familiar, he has it, and there is more than one!
It's just that why does the Sword Hall show such a broken sword to everyone? Could it be that this assessment is related to the broken sword?
Lu Ming's heart was full of doubts, but judging from the style of the Sword Hall's history, they must have mastered the mystery of the broken sword, and it was quite useful to their plan, so they would be so troublesome.
And now it seems that this so-called assessment is actually to search for broken swords with the help of almost all the elite swordsmen in the entire continent.
In the entire Sword Qi Continent, this is also the unique human resources of Sword Island to act like this!
Lu Ming was a little excited in his heart, it seemed that this time, he might be able to pass this so-called assessment and learn more about these broken swords.
The staff walked around holding the image of the broken sword, so that everyone could clearly see the broken sword and remember what it looked like, and then hung it up.
"Everyone must keep this broken sword in mind, and I can tell you a very good news, that is, as long as you find a broken sword, this assessment will be qualified, if you find more, then the sword hall will have a very rich reward waiting for everyone. I hope that each and every one of you will deliver your spoils into my own hands. ”
The middle-aged Sword Venerable smiled and watched as each swordsman eagerly remembered the broken sword, and then waved his hand again.
The other two staff members brought a scroll again, and when it was time to open it, everyone suddenly gasped.
It's clearly a portrait of a monster on the screen!
To everyone's shock, this is not a real monster, because their appearance is no different from that of humans, at most they have a larger mouth, two canine teeth have grown, and their eyes are very fierce.
But this is not surprising enough, the real reason is because the person in the portrait has three heads and six arms, and holds three swords at the same time......
It looks like a conjoined body, Lu Ming knows that from the perspective of a normal human being, this is a complete monster, and looking at the colorful portrait, he knows that this kind of monster is no different from a beast.
This time, the middle-aged man didn't let the staff go down for a walk, because almost everyone would remember the appearance of this monster as soon as they saw it, and his voice with a strange charm sounded again.
"This monster contains a sword bone with metal characteristics, which can be made into weapons, so the second task of this assessment is to obtain the sword bone in the body of the three-headed monster. Then go now, and in fifteen days, I'll be waiting here until you hand over the loot to me!"
As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, a staff member came out to lead the way, and each swordsman was given a pocket the size of a foot that was just enough to hold a broken sword, as well as a booklet, and then the staff who led each squad began to explain the environmental characteristics of the destination and the problems that the swordsman needed to pay attention to.
Most swordsmen were still immersed in excitement or nervousness, and many people began to fantasize about the moment of returning, but Lu Ming was listening carefully to the introduction of the staff, for a killer, being able to grasp a little more information is a guarantee for the success rate of the mission.
The destination was a place called Illusion, and Lu Ming wasn't interested in the name, after all, it was just a code name. However, the environment inside is quite harsh, it is said that only two hours in the morning and evening are normal temperatures, and after this time period, the temperature can reach 200 degrees during the day, and it can even be as low as minus 100 degrees at night, which is enough to freeze the steel to pieces!
What kind of environment is this, and what kind of creatures can survive there?
Lu Ming was very interested in this environment, but he didn't know if it was opened up by the existence of a special case such as the Sword Demon?
Lu Ming felt that Ouyang Luo, Zhuo Li Getu, and Nangong Huajian beside him were all faintly excited, it seemed that the three years spent in the Sword Ruins had given them quite strong confidence.
It's a pity that Leng Jian can't participate in the competition this time, Lu Ming is a little gloomy, if someone still doesn't know the current affairs, Lu Ming definitely doesn't mind taking the opportunity to avenge Leng Jian. (To be continued......)
