"I didn't expect that there is such a big underground palace here!"

Xiao Hei couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Oh my God! It's a bit of a shock, isn't it? ”

Mu Quan exclaimed.

Except for Xiao Hei and Mu Quan, whose expressions were particularly exaggerated, the expressions of the rest of the people were actually quite surprised, after all, this place was really shocking.

This is a huge underground palace more than ten zhang high and nearly 100 zhang wide, with four huge stone pillars standing in the four corners of the underground palace, as if guarding.

All the roofs and surrounding stone walls are covered with all kinds of carvings that resemble strange beasts. Step into it and feel mysterious! The carvings of those strange beasts seem to tell you about the long years of this underground palace.

If it weren't for the fact that the old man in front of him was still human, everyone wondered if they had come to the wrong place, after all, this underground palace looked like a place where fierce beasts lived.

What makes people even more shocked is an altar in the center of this underground palace.

The entire altar is made of huge stones several feet wide, giving people an invisible solemnity and mystery.

The yin aura in the depths of the altar seemed to be very thick, and people couldn't help but be afraid.

"Senior Dong Mingzi, how can there be such a big altar here?"

Jin Yang waved his fan and stepped forward to ask.

Dong Mingzi narrowed his eyes and replied lightly: "Under this altar, there are all buried disciples of the academy who have come to the Hell Palace to challenge and die. ”

As soon as these words came out, Jin Yang's hand holding the fan couldn't help but start trembling.

At the same time, the screams of Mu Quan were heard from the side of the altar.

"That's a lot of bones!"

Mu Quan was so frightened that he sat down directly on the ground.

After hearing Dong Mingzi's words, he was immediately startled by the wooden spring next to the altar, and everyone also gasped.

"You kid! What's the fun! Kill the cat with your curiosity! ”

The burly Tuchuan pulled Mu Quan down. Compared to Kizumi, who was already trembling, Tokawa seemed much calmer.

However, it is no wonder that Mu Quan is like this, after all, he has lived in a big family since he was a child, and he has the best cultivation mentor by his side, as well as the best pills to take, so naturally he has never seen the killing outside.

In addition, when Mu Quan came to Cangyun Academy to practice, he was directly introduced by people from his family.

Unlike Luo Chen, I don't know how much blood is on my hands along the way.

Then, Luo Chen and Xiao Hei swept towards the altar one after another.

Looking at the white bones piled up in the depths of the altar, it was like a mountain of bones.

"I didn't expect that in the depths of this altar, so many senior brothers were buried."

Luo Chen was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

As for Xiao Hei on the side, he didn't have much expression, after all, as a fierce beast black armor rock dragon, he was covered with the lives of many humans in the alien beast forest, and the alien beasts alone ate hundreds of them raw.

"It seems that, as the Great Elder said, this Hell Palace is a killing battlefield."

Ouyang Qianhui on the side also sighed.

"I have to admire these disciples of Cangyun Academy, their courage is really commendable!"

Lingyin on the side didn't seem to think so, as if the white bones in front of him were like ordinary things.

"Haha!"

Dong Mingzi next to the altar carefully observed everyone's expressions.

"I wonder if you all formed a team before you came?"

Dong Mingzi asked lightly.

"Well, senior, on the way here, we have already formed a team."

After Luo Chen came back to his senses, he responded to Dong Mingzi.

Although Luo Chen was also shocked by the white bones of this altar, the expression he showed at this moment was still relatively calm.

It seems that Dong Mingzi is quite satisfied with Luo Chen's reaction.

"In that case, let me announce the rules of this year's Inner Court Selection Competition. Come here, listen carefully, this rule is still very important. ”

Dong Mingzi said lightly.

Dong Mingzi's voice was very calm, but it did not affect everyone to gather towards this side, as if the scene of the altar just now had shocked everyone into submission.

In addition, Dong Mingzi said so, how dare everyone not listen carefully to the rules! After all, if you let yourself fall here because you didn't listen to the rules clearly, it's too late to regret it.

Seeing that everyone had already come to his side, Dong Mingzi slowly said: "Little guys, the Hell Palace is divided into two floors, and the place where we are now is the first floor of the Hell Palace. The so-called Inner Court Selection Contest in your mouth is completed at this level. As long as you successfully pass the challenge, you will be eligible to enter the second level of the Hell Palace, and that is where the inner court can really start cultivating. ”

With Dong Mingzi's words, everyone was amazed.

"Unexpectedly, after a long time, this floor is not the real core of the inner courtyard?"

Xiao Hei sighed.

"You black-armored rock dragon, don't underestimate here, you must know that in the white bones of this altar, there are also many ...... of your kind"

Dong Mingzi said seriously.

This stunned Xiao Hei for a moment, and immediately quickly shut his mouth.

"No wonder, I saw some white bones that are different from human cultivators just now, it turns out that those are the bones of alien beasts......"

Luo Chen said silently in his heart.

"Senior, I don't know what the challenge of this layer is?"

Ji Feng asked softly.

Jin Yang on the side also couldn't hold back for a long time, and after Ji Feng asked, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Yes, senior, I don't know what we have to do to be considered a successful challenge?" ”

"The rules of the inner court selection are actually very simple, but they are not simple."

Dong Mingzi said lightly.

"Senior, don't sell it, you see that they are all dying."

Lingyin stepped forward and said deliberately.

It's hard to come here with so many young people, Dong Mingzi inevitably talks a little more, who told that the day of the inner courtyard selection only starts once every three years!

Dong Mingzi smiled, and then said slowly: "On this level of the Hell Palace, there are a total of four underground palaces, namely Tianshu Palace, Tianxuan Palace, Tianji Palace, and Tianquan Palace. You can choose any of the four dungeons to enter the challenge. Once you enter the dungeon, it means that this challenge has officially begun. At that time, there will be a total of three waves of beasts to attack you, and the number of beasts in each wave is three, which is why it is best to get three people when you are forming a team in the first place. Then the next thing you have to do is to destroy the attacks of the three waves of alien beasts in succession. As long as you still have a breath under the attack of these three waves of strange beasts, then the challenge will be considered successful. ”

"So just now the old man said that the rules for the selection of the inner courtyard are actually very simple."

Dong Mingzi said lightly.

"What do you mean to have a breath ......?"

Hearing this, Jin Yang couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and seemed to have begun to be a little timid.

"Senior, I don't know what level the cultivation of these three waves of strange beasts is? You might as well tell us in advance, we can be prepared. ”

Tuchuan said as he carried the mountain-breaking hammer on his shoulder.

At this time, Ouyang Qianhui and the others also came over one after another, and it seemed that everyone was very concerned about the strength of these three waves of alien beasts.

Dong Mingzi stroked his beard and said earnestly: "The cultivation of these three waves of strange beasts is the cultivation of the Demon Venerable Great Perfection, the early stage of the Demon Saint, and the middle stage of the Demon Saint. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped.

If it is said that the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Demon Venerable is a little more normal, but the cultivation of the second and third waves of alien beasts is a little too strong.

"I didn't expect that the number of these three waves of strange beasts is not much, but this cultivation is so powerful that people are afraid of it!"

Luo Chen cupped his cheeks and meditated.

In the face of the huge gap in cultivation, Luo Chen really had to think twice, he couldn't just send him to death.

"Good guy, the strength of these cultivators is even higher than mine!"

Xiao Hei was also shocked.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems, is it? Not to mention the cultivation strength of the middle stage of the Demon Saint, just the cultivation strength of the early stage of the Demon Saint, even our Phoenix clan was only a few people at the beginning. ”

Ji Feng frowned and said with some doubts.

"Oh my God! This cultivation is higher than mine, and the other party is still a strange beast, how can this be beaten? This is simply sending us to death! I guess in the first wave, I'll have to lie down......"

Even Tokawa couldn't help but complain at the moment.

Jin Yang and Mu Quan couldn't help but shiver a few times, their faces were pale and they no longer spoke, and they were completely loveless.

"A strange beast cultivated in the middle stage of the Demon Saint? I'm afraid this can be considered a fierce beast......"

Ouyang Qianhui frowned and said.

"It's kind of interesting, it looks like I've come to the right place this time."

Lingyin muttered silently in her heart, as if she thought she had found a clue.

However, Dong Mingzi's next sentence extinguished the hope that Lingyin had just ignited again.

"But rest assured, these beasts are lifeless. Therefore, they are just like you, and naturally they will not cast any spells. Unlike you, the beasts can only fight with their own bodies, and you still have weapons in your hands to use. ”

Dong Mingzi said earnestly.

"No life?"

Xiao Hei exclaimed.

"Yes, these beasts were slain by the Dean when he traveled. Later, in the hands of the adults of the courtyard, they became a group of alien beasts with only powerful bodies but no souls. In order to improve the cultivation of the disciples in the academy, the dean simply put them in the Hell Palace and regarded them as opponents of the disciples' cultivation. But even so, there are still many disciples who die at their hands every time. ”

Dong Mingzi looked at the altar next to him and sighed.

"I see! It seems that the strength of this dean of Cangyun Academy is simply terrifying......"

Luo Chen was amazed in his heart.

"In this way, this first wave of alien beasts can barely fight, but the second wave of alien beasts is probably very difficult. Therefore, after such an analysis, I don't think I need to participate in the inner court selection this time. ”

Tokawa frowned and said loudly.

There seemed to be some emotions mixed in the words, after all, it seemed that he had come all the way from afar.

"Qianhui, it seems that we have one less teammate, which is a pity."

Lingyin said lightly.

"yes, Lingyin, so what do you think at the moment?"

Ouyang Qianhui replied.

"Let's listen to what Dong Mingzi's predecessor said first, I feel that the senior hasn't finished talking yet."

As soon as Lingyin's words fell, Dong Mingzi's side spoke again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there have been more and more disciples who have died on the challenge over the years, and several elders in the academy have also made some appropriate adjustments to the rules of the Hell Palace."

Dong Mingzi said with a smile.

"What's the adjustment?"

Tuchuan, who was originally a little deflated, instantly became interested.

It seems that he still wants to give it a try, if there is a glimmer of hope.
