Chapter 314: Wooden Formation
There were nine Shining Silver Gate elders waiting in the square, eight men and one woman, all of whom were in the early stages of Nirvana, and they sat on a high platform at the end of the square.
Nine flags were planted on the stage, representing the nine palaces of the Shining Silver Gate, and the audience was full of middle and high-level disciples from the nine palaces, who came to select disciples.
While the little martial cultivator in charge of registration was reporting to those elders, Huang Ming and Xiao Hua carefully checked the surrounding environment, in fact, not only them, but all the little martial cultivators who had passed the first level of trial were looking around.
There is a row of very wide and long steps on the right side of this square, and at the top of the steps is a large castle similar to the Potala Palace, which should be the sect of this flash silver gate.
There is also a row of steps on the left side of the mountain that leads to the top of the mountain, and the mountain is full of houses, and countless paths and forks that connect the entrance of the subordinate hall of the Shining Silver Gate also extend from all sides of this step, and it seems that this Shining Silver Gate is very large.
Five or six minutes later, a bell rang in the square, "Bell ......", a total of nine rings, and then from the steps on the right side of the square, that is, the main hall of the sect of the Shining Silver Gate, four high-level martial cultivators walked down.
These four martial cultivators are in the middle stage of Nirvana, and among them is the city lord surnamed Zhu in Bell City.
The other two were middle-aged men in leather armor, long hair, shawls and beards, and one of them also braided his beard and hair, and these two were the deputy sect masters and law enforcement elders of the Shining Silver Gate.
As for the old man in the late stage of Nirvana, he was not tall, wearing a silver helmet and pheasant tail, wearing leather armor and linen robes, his face was like red copper, one eye was full of white beard and sideburns, and he hung a short-handled double-edged sword on his waist, and a murder knife was obliquely inserted behind his back.
Ah, how is it like a copper eye? Don't people have two eyes?
Because this old man wears an eyepatch on the other eye, he is a one-eyed dragon, and this old man doesn't have to think about it, he must be the owner of the "Flash Silver Gate".
The four men did not descend to the square, but only to a platform in the middle of the steps, where tables and chairs were already placed.
"Elder Hong, let them start"
The one-eyed old man said a word to the elder who had braided his beard and hair into pigtails, and sat down.
"Yes", Elder Hong took a few steps forward to the edge of the steps, he was the law enforcement elder of the Shining Silver Gate.
"I announce, the second level of trial has begun, and the wooden formation has begun"
As Elder Hong announced in a loud voice, the more than 300 humanoid wooden stakes in the middle of the square moved, and one by one they began to rotate in place like tumblers, swaying from side to side, and the wooden hands and feet danced whirring.
"Hey, this wooden human array actually has some famous halls", Xiao Hua frowned.
He found that although this wooden array composed of more than three hundred wooden people was not as mysterious as the immortal cultivation array, and it could not be changed from virtual to real, it was difficult for ordinary martial cultivators.
This wooden formation has three entrances and three exits, but the three exits cross each other, and some are still dead ends.
If the wooden man array is not activated, it can still discern the direction and move all the way, but once it is activated, the wooden man begins to rotate and shake, and it is impossible to distinguish the direction at all, as if entering a labyrinth.
The most important thing is that the position of these wooden figures is not placed in a horizontal row and vertical column, once activated, these wooden figures will rotate and shake their hands and feet to form a kind of offensive complementarity, making it impossible for people to pass quickly.
"What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to knock down the wooden man and push it over directly", Huang Ming didn't care.
"You push it, don't forget, we are here to inquire about the news, and now we are just low-level martial arts cultivators"
"Then pretend, it's a big deal to let the wooden man beat a few times"
Huang Ming still doesn't care, he has alchemy, even if he doesn't fight back just by being beaten, he can safely get out of the wooden man formation.
At this moment, Elder Hong, who had announced the start of the second level trial, said something again.
"The wooden man array enters in batches, 100 people each time, the passer enters the next trial, the loser is eliminated, the wooden man position is a safe area, and those who are invincible in the formation will crawl out of the ground"
After that, the breakthrough officially began, Huang Ming and Xiao Hua were in the third batch, and they had to wait for the first and second batches to break first.
The first batch of Xiao Wuxiu who broke through the level had no experience, and as soon as he heard about it, he rushed towards the three entrances in a swarm.
As a result, it caused congestion at the entrance, and it was impossible to squeeze together, and many people were beaten by the wooden people at the entrance and their noses were swollen, and a few unlucky eggs were knocked out directly.
After that, it was also very chaotic, and in order to pass quickly, Xiao Wuxiu who entered the formation basically did not confront the wooden people, most of them dodged directly or took a hard beat, and rushed forward vigorously.
But the wooden man's spinning and shaking attack basically has no dead ends, these people dodged the sticks and hit him, many people couldn't hold it before they broke through halfway, they were either knocked to the ground by the wooden people, or they took the initiative to fall to the ground, and finally they were eliminated.
It took more than an hour, and the first batch of people all broke through, and there were only more than 30 successes, all of which were bruised and swollen noses and swollen faces, and bruises all over their bodies.
"Brother Huang, Brother Xiao, it'll be us in a moment, can we follow you?"
Na Jun, Bao Zhaohong and others, who had been paying attention to the trial of the wooden formation, suddenly squeezed in front of Huang Ming and Xiao Hua.
"Why follow us? The wooden people array will not stop, and it is impossible for us to break the wooden people, you still have to fight by yourself, what's the use of following us", Xiao Hua was very curious.
"We definitely have to fight ourselves, we just don't want to take the wrong path", Na Jun smiled.
"Don't want to take the wrong road? What do you mean? ”
Huang Ming forked, he didn't understand what Na Jun meant.
"Hehe, two big brothers, I found that most of the people who were eliminated just now took the wrong path in the formation and consumed a lot of time and physical strength, if they can find the right way out, at least half of them can pass the test, so we want to follow behind the two big brothers"
"How do you know we can find the right path?" , Huang Ming was also a little curious.
"The two eldest brothers are mountain people with excellent cultivation talents, and Brother Huang is already in the initial stage, and even the two city lords of Bell City are optimistic about you, so I think this kind of trivial matter can't help but be difficult for the two eldest brothers, hehe"
Na Jun didn't know that Huang Ming and Xiao Hua were immortal cultivators, but the legend of the mountain people was too mysterious, and Huang Ming had attracted the city lord of Bell City at the registration site before, not only was he okay but also valued, even if Na Jun was stupid, he knew that Huang Ming and Xiao Hua were not simple.
"Hey, Na Fatty, don't you see it, you are so discerning? Okay, then follow us"
Huang Ming doesn't care, anyway, he and Xiao Hua mixed into the Flash Silver Gate just to facilitate the inquire, and it won't take too long to stay for Na Jun, and they can be regarded as helping him and Xiao Hua, and it is not a big deal to help them.
As one of the deacon's disciples shouted "The second batch begins", the second group of one hundred people entered the wooden human formation.
