A dark blue drop-shaped spaceship, like a phantom, shuttled at extreme speed in the dark universe at a speed five or six times faster than the speed of light.

In the spaceship, Chu Zhou, under the introduction of Seamus, met five people, including Rambo, Haoyue, Heyu, Adol, and Safi.

"These are not simple characters!"

Chu Zhou sensed a trace of dangerous aura on the six people on Xi Mo and the others, and sighed in his heart.

"This Chu Zhou is not simple."

Almost at the same moment, Xi Mo and the other six people also commented on Chu Zhou in their hearts.

Chu Zhou randomly found a seat and sat down.

Seamus still said enthusiastically: "Everyone, we are from different star fields, and we can meet here, this is fate!" ”

"All the previous adventure king assessments are very dangerous, and ninety percent of the people who participate in the assessment will die, so we should unite as one and work together to help."

Hearing Xi Mo's words, Chu Zhou and the others were expressionless.

The people who participated in the assessment this time are all competitors to each other, so what are you talking about working together?

Seamus said enthusiastically, not caring about everyone's cold faces, as if he really wanted to convince everyone to unite.

At this time, Wu Ka, the person in charge of the Adventure King's assessment this time, stood up, glanced at Chu Zhou and the other seven people who participated in the assessment, and said:

"Now that you've all met, I won't bother to talk about it. Now let me tell you about the assessment task this time. ”

Hearing Wu Ka's words, Chu Zhou and the others' spirits instantly perked up.

Wuka continued: "This time, your assessment will be conducted in the 'Black Mountain Secret Realm'. In the 'Black Mountain Secret Realm', there is a treasure called the Soul Stone. This kind of soul stone, after refining, can not only increase the soul origin of the realm lord, but even for the Universe Venerable, it will be of great benefit. ”

"It can be said that this kind of soul stone is very precious!"

"And the conditions for you to pass the assessment this time are: within ten days, the first to obtain 10,000 soul stones in the secret realm of Montenegro and successfully come out of the secret realm of Montenegro!"

"By the way, the detailed information about the 'Black Mountain Secret Realm' will be sent to you now!"

After Wu Ka finished speaking, Chu Zhou and the other seven people who participated in the assessment immediately became vigilant against each other.

Even Seamo, who was extremely enthusiastic before, looked at the others with a little more vigilance when he looked at the others at this moment.

Wuka's words, they have already understood.

This time, among the seven people who participated in the assessment, no matter what the result was, at most only one person could pass the assessment and become the king of adventure.

This means that Chu Zhou and the other seven people are competitors to each other.

"Is there only one person at most who will pass the test?" Seamus seemed a little unwilling, and opened his mouth to ask Wuka for confirmation.

Wuka nodded calmly: "Not bad! That's the rule! Even if it's me, there's no way to change it! ”

"If someone feels dangerous, or reluctant, give up now!"

Seamus was silent, and only after a moment did he smile and look sunny and cheerful: "Hahaha, even this is nothing!" ”

"Although there were seven of us, only one of us passed the test at most. But we should still stick together to deal with the dangers that arise in the assessment. ”

"After all, in the previous adventure king assessments, after most people failed, the result was death, and very few survived."

"It's all about being alive...... We should try to survive after defeat! ”

Seamus's laughter, echoing through the spaceship.

But neither Chu Zhou, nor Lan Bo, Hao Yue, Crane Yu, Adol, Safi and other five people responded.

They all silently checked the information passed to them by Wuka, and carefully read the information about the 'Black Mountain Secret Realm'.

[Black Mountain Secret Realm, is a strange space secret realm, the main body is a huge black mountain more than 300,000 meters high, and the black mountain is surrounded by a large number of strange gray fog.

The secret realm of Montenegro is rich in soul stones. And the soul stone is an incomparably precious cultivation resource that can increase the origin of the soul.

However, there are three major crises in the secret realm of Montenegro:

1. Strange gray fog. Even the Transcendent Realm Lord, once he falls into the strange gray mist, he is in danger of getting lost.

2. Soul Storm. In the secret realm of Montenegro, mysterious soul storms will appear from time to time and in any location. Once caught in the soul storm, the soul of a person whose soul is not strong enough may be directly torn apart.

3. Soul slave. In the secret realm of Montenegro, there are many realm masters who died in the secret realm in the past, and their souls were manipulated by mysterious forces and became slaves, specializing in hunting and killing creatures who entered the secret realm of Montenegro in the future.

All in all, in the secret realm of Montenegro, there are opportunities and crises, so think carefully before entering. 】

Chu Zhou carefully read the information of the Black Mountain Secret Realm.

There was a heavy weight in his heart.

"This secret realm of Montenegro is not simple!"

He sighed in his heart and looked at the other six people.

I saw that their faces also became solemn.

Obviously, everyone felt the danger of the secret realm of Montenegro.

A month later.

The drop-shaped spaceship, in the dark universe, finally returned to the real universe after a long time of shuttle.

"The secret realm of Montenegro has arrived, let's come out!"

Wu Ka took Chu Zhou and others to appear in a desolate starry sky.

"The spaceship actually flew in the dark universe at more than five times the speed of light for a whole month...... The location of this secret realm of Montenegro is really far away. ”

Seamus spit and stretched.

"Is this the secret realm of Montenegro?"

Chu Zhou, Lan Bo, Hao Yue, Crane Feather, Adol, Safi and others looked up at the gray mist surging starry sky in front of them.

In that starry sky, there was a huge and incomparable black mountain looming in front of their eyes.

The black mountain was so tall that when you looked up, you couldn't see the top at all, as if it had cut through the entire starry sky.

"This is the secret realm of Montenegro." Wuka pointed to the giant mountain of Black Mountain hidden in the gray fog in front of him, and said, "Every once in a while, the gray fog that surrounds the secret outside of Black Mountain will disperse. This is the best time for you to enter the secret realm of Montenegro. ”

"Finally, I would like to give you a warning: when entering the secret realm of Montenegro, you must be highly vigilant and don't fall into the strange gray fog...... Otherwise, you will probably never come back. ”

After saying that, Wuka stood with several staff members and didn't speak again.

Chu Zhou, Simo, Rambo, Haoyue, Heyu, Adol, Safi and the other seven people glanced at each other, and they all flew to the edge of the secret realm of Black Mountain, waiting for the change of gray mist.

An hour!

Two hours!

Three hours!

……

For ten consecutive hours, the gray fog that surrounded the outside of Montenegro did not change.

For Chu Zhou and the others, just ten hours is nothing at all.

Not to mention ten hours, even if it is ten months, or even ten years, they can afford to wait.

They have this patience.

However, they don't have to wait that long.

About eleven hours later, the thick gray fog that surrounded the Black Mountain suddenly rolled up, and a 'passage' without gray fog appeared.

Chu Zhou and the others did not hesitate, and directly rushed into the passage at the fastest speed.

"Lord Wuka, how many of them said they would survive this time?"

Watching the figures of Chu Zhou and the others disappear, a staff member asked Wu Ka.

Wuka clasped his hands around and said lightly, "I can't tell." Maybe it's just one person, or maybe it's all gone, or maybe a few survived...... See their luck! ”

………

After Chu Zhou and the others rushed into the passage at full speed, they immediately found that their spiritual power had been severely suppressed.

In the outside world, if they released their spiritual power with all their might, they could easily envelop an entire planet of life in an instant.

But here, their spiritual power has shrunk severely, and they can only extend a few hundred meters.

Moreover, in addition to the severe suppression of spiritual power, there is also a trace of mysterious power that is infiltrating and invading their souls.

Under the influence of that trace of mysterious power, the spiritual perception of Chu Zhou and the others was even more seriously affected.

Not only the detection range, but also shrinking again.

Moreover, all kinds of hallucinations still appear in my mind from time to time.

"It's not good, the gray mist here contains a strange soul power that can directly penetrate and affect our souls."

Rambo, who looked like a lizardman, said with a frown, and his eyes had unconsciously turned blood-red.

Rambo had just finished speaking, when suddenly a gray mist appeared in the corridor, drowning Rambo's figure.

The next moment, Rambo disappeared out of thin air under the gaze of Chu Zhou and others.

"Let's go!"

Chu Zhou and the others were startled, and hurriedly rushed towards the depths of the passage at full speed.

A moment later, the three of them, including Ximo, Haoyue, and Heyu, were also swept away by the sudden gray mist.

Only Chu Zhou, Aydor, and Safi were left, rushing out of the corridor and landing in a pine forest in Montenegro.

Immediately, they looked back at the gray sea of fog that surrounded Black Mountain.

"Are they dead?"

Athor said, the blue liquid flowing inside his translucent skin, exuding excitement and coldness, and the ground under his feet, a layer of blue frost, was spreading rapidly.

"I don't know!" Chu Zhou said lightly.

The gray fog could not be detected at all, and after Seamus and the others were swept in, outsiders could not know whether they were alive or dead.

"Since you have chosen to come to the Black Mountain Secret Realm to participate in the Adventure King assessment, you must be mentally prepared for death!"

"Let's go our separate ways!"

Safi said lightly, his plump body moved, and with a flick of his long blue hair, he immediately turned into an afterimage and flew towards the rest of Montenegro.

Obviously, Safi didn't want to act with Chu Zhou and Adol.

In other words, they are not at ease with Chu Zhou and Adol.

Chu Zhou and Aydol didn't pay attention to Safi's departure.

They are equally uneasy about others.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a gray light suddenly burst over.

The gray light was very fast, and even with the strength of Chu Zhou and Aydol's Transcendent Realm Lord, only a vague afterimage could be seen.

"What's that?"

Chu Zhou Lightning stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and instantly felt a huge force hit his palm.

That huge force was even greater than the normal blow of a Realm Lord's 9th Order powerhouse.

Chu Zhou felt that if he wasn't physically strong enough, his palm would be directly pierced by that rays of light.

His face changed slightly, he spread out his palm, and immediately saw a gray hedroon.

A trace of strong and pure soul power fluctuations diffused from the gray spar, and the whole spar seemed to be compressed and condensed by the incomparably vast soul power.

"Is this a soul stone?"

Chu Zhou's eyes lit up as he looked at the gray spar in his hand filled with strong soul fluctuations.

Almost instantly, he was sure that it was the soul stone that Wuka was talking about.

"Soul Stone!"

Aydol saw the gray spar in Chu Zhou's hand, and a trace of fiery color flashed in his pale blue eyes.

The next moment, a gray light also flew from his direction.

He hurriedly reached out and grabbed it.

However, after he grabbed it, his face immediately changed slightly, but he felt a surging force like a sea crashing into him, and his body was immediately unstable, and he took three steps back, which only then did he urge the force and counteract the terrifying force.

And when he spread out his palm, it was a blur of flesh and blood.

In the center of his palm, there was also a gray spar, or soul stone.

After obtaining the soul stone, Aydor's face was not very happy.

Because of his performance just now, compared to when Chu Zhou got the soul stone, it was a little dwarfed.

There is no doubt that this shows that his physical body is far less strong than Chu Zhou's physical body.

"Just because the body is strong doesn't mean it's strong!"

Aydol said lightly, leaving an inexplicable word, and disappeared in front of Chu Zhou with a light blue light.

"Inexplicable!"

Chu Zhou looked at the disappearing figure of Aitor and muttered, then looked at the soul stone in his hand.

"Wuka said that this soul stone can increase the soul origin, try it!"

Chu Zhou said, and directly began to refine the soul stone in his hand.

A moment later, the soul stone in his hand turned into flying ashes, and a cool trace of pure soul power poured into his soul.

Chu Zhou immediately felt that his soul origin was growing little by little.

"It's true...... My soul origin has increased by about 1/10,000! ”

Chu Zhou felt the change in his soul, and his heart was ecstatic.

Needless to say, the importance of the soul is for flesh and blood life.

But it is very difficult to increase the origin of the soul.

Even if Chu Zhou had an attribute panel, there was no good way to increase the soul origin.

The "Soul Armor" and "White Lotus Secret Method" that he mastered were actually methods for using the power of the soul, not methods for enhancing the origin of the soul.

In fact, not only him, but even many martial artists who focus on comprehending the rules of the soul want to enhance the soul origin, it is not easy.

However, there are many secret methods and mastery to increase spiritual power in the universe.

But the spirit and the soul are not the same thing.

To put it simply, the soul is the bucket, and the spirit is what is in the bucket.

And in the bucket of the soul, in addition to the spirit, there are consciousness, emotions, thinking, and so on.

It is easy to increase the spirit, but it is very difficult to increase the source of the soul.

At the same time, if the bucket of souls is not large enough, then it will also limit the number of spirits that can be loaded.

Therefore, the soul stone that can increase the origin of the soul is definitely an incomparably precious treasure in the universe.

Especially those martial artists who focus on cultivating the rules of the soul, if they know that there is a chance to obtain soul stones, they will definitely work hard for it.

"You have to get more soul stones!"

Chu Zhou muttered to himself, his eyes shining.

Next, he clinged to the surface of the Black Mountain and flew at full speed, searching for the Soul Stone.

Soon after, he was given another Soul Stone.

This time, instead of refining directly, he let the attribute panel transform and obtained 10 billion attribute points.

"Soul stones can indeed be converted into attribute points...... It's just that after a soul stone is converted into attribute points, it is only 10 billion, which is too wasteful, and it is far better to use it to increase the soul origin. ”

Chu Zhou muttered to himself, giving up the plan to convert the soul stones into attribute points, he decided to use all the soul stones he obtained in the future, except for 10,000 to complete the assessment task, to enhance the soul origin.

How dare he have such a plan...... Naturally, it was because it was far easier for him to obtain soul stones than others.

In the environment of Montenegro, he is proficient in the rules of space and gravity, and it is more than a hundred times easier for him to find and obtain soul stones than the other six people.

In fact, the mysterious power that permeated the gray fog and the entire Black Mountain had a far lower impact on him than on others.

His soul armor was superimposed on three layers, and that trace of mysterious power had little effect on him.

But others, however, have to constantly urge their spiritual power to resist the invasion of that trace of mysterious power, so as not to affect their souls.

This makes Chu Zhou undoubtedly have an advantage over others.

Chu Zhou flew fast against the surface of the Black Mountain, and silver-white spatial ripples continued to spread out from his body.

At the same time, there is also a terrifying gravitational pull that permeates from him.

The spatial power and gravitational pull that permeated his body seemed to weave a huge 'net' for dozens of miles around him.

Whenever a soul stone flew around him and fell into the net, it immediately stopped slowly, and then flew towards Chu Zhou, where it was easily collected by Chu Zhou.

In this way, Chu Zhou easily and quickly collected the soul stones in the Black Mountain.

In just half a day, he had collected more than 8,000 soul stones.

Compared to Chu Zhou, Aydor, and Safi, they had worked hard to find it for most of the day, and they only collected more than six hundred soul stones.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day.

At this time, Chu Zhou had already collected enough 10,000 soul stones.

If he leaves the secret realm of Montenegro at this time, he can already pass the assessment and obtain the Adventure King Medal.

But being in the treasure land, Chu Zhou naturally couldn't leave like this.

He continued to frantically scavenge for the Soul Stone.

Suddenly, there was a sound of battle in front of him.

Chu Zhou was shocked in his heart and hurriedly flew forward.

Soon, he saw two embarrassed figures, fleeing at full speed, followed by a group of glazed figures.

"Rambo, and Tsuruha!"

Chu Zhou instantly recognized the two embarrassed figures that ran away, it was Lan Bo, who looked like a lizardman, and the crane feathers with two swan wings on his back.

After these two were swept away by the gray mist, they didn't die.

Immediately, Chu Zhou's face changed slightly, and he found that the group of figures who were chasing and killing Rambo and Crane Feather were a group of realm masters.

Moreover, more than ten of them are still overbounded realm masters.

"Hey, those realm masters and transcendent realm masters are all soul slaves!"

Seeing the dull gazes of those Realm Lords and Transcendent Realm Lords, Chu Zhou immediately understood that they were the soul slaves that existed in the secret realm of Black Mountain.

It's just that seeing so many soul slaves at the realm master level and the transcendent realm master level chasing and killing Lan Bo and Crane Feather, Chu Zhou couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp for a while.

Although he was very confident in his strength, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would survive under the combined attack of so many Realm Lords and Beyond Realm Lords.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to turn around and flee.

Moreover, he fled quickly, and in just an instant, he disappeared in front of Rambo and Tsuruha.

"Damn ......"

Rambo and Crane Feather, after seeing Chu Zhou's figure, a trace of joy flashed in their eyes, and they rushed towards Chu Zhou's direction at full speed, preparing to ask Chu Zhou for help.

They all had a plan in their hearts, whether Chu Zhou was willing to help them or not, they wanted Chu Zhou to help them share part of the pressure.

Who knows, before they could get closer, and without waiting for them to speak, Chu Zhou fled directly in an instant.

And...... It's so fast that they can't catch up at all.

"Chu Zhou ......"

At this moment, whether it was Lan Bo or Crane Yu, they all had a trace of killing intent towards Chu Zhou in their hearts.

"Brother Rambo, please resist the soul slave for the time being, I'll go ask for help from others, and I'll be back soon!"

Crane Feather suddenly launched an attack in the direction of Rambo, forcing Rambo to stop, and then the two swan wings behind him flapped fiercely, and a powerful force exploded instantly, and the whole person suddenly turned into an afterimage and rushed forward.

But

As soon as Crane Feather rushed out less than a hundred meters, his figure suddenly stopped.

His foot, entangled in a green leather whip.

"Brother Crane Feather, don't worry! After all, you have two wings, you are faster, your figure is more flexible, and you are more suitable for dealing with these soul slaves, so you might as well leave it to me! ”

Rambo said gloomily, and with a sudden swing of the leather whip, he threw the crane feather wrapped around his right foot into the many soul slaves behind him.

And he himself turned into a green figure and flew away at full speed.

"Rambo, you yin me!"

Crane Feather roared angrily, but had to deal with the swarming soul slaves.

An incomparably fierce battle broke out in an instant, and the two swan wings that reached into the sky suddenly stretched out to the sky, shattering the void, setting off a wave of energy, and bursting out with incomparably terrifying power.

But.

The two huge swan wings were quickly brutally torn apart by the four soul slaves of the Transcendent Realm Master.

The other soul slaves joined forces to split the body of Crane Feather.

A terrible voice sounded in the middle of the Black Mountain.

"This ...... It's the voice of Tsuruha! ”

Adol, Safi and the others, at this moment, all looked in the direction where the voice came from, and a trace of solemnity appeared on their faces.

"Tsuruha, it's really dead!"

Rambo looked back at the position of Crane Feather, and a hint of luck appeared on his face, if it was him who stayed just now, he was afraid that he would be the one who died now.

At this moment, Chu Zhou was also looking in the direction where the voice came from.

"There was only one scream, and it seemed that only one person had died...... The other person, who used the deceased as a substitute for the dead ghost, took the opportunity to escape? ”

Chu Zhou muttered to himself, his face slightly solemn.

He knew that from this moment on, the danger he would face was not only from the secret realm of Montenegro, but also from the people who entered the secret realm of Montenegro with him.
