Mountainside.

Thousands of apprentice wizards stared intently at the light curtain in the air, reluctant to look away for even a second.

As the participants began to explore the maze, the maze gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

When they saw the endless monsters and traps that sprang up in the labyrinth, many wizard apprentices couldn't help but be stunned.

"There are even shapeshifting spiders and spirit beasts, isn't this a human life?"

"This labyrinth is too dangerous, but it's good that I didn't go to the trial, otherwise I would have died!"

"Look, there's another person teleporting away."

"It's the twenty-third."

The crowd was full of chatter.

Less than an hour after the trial began, more than twenty wizard apprentices had to activate the teleportation ring to leave the labyrinth.

Most of them were so badly injured by the sneak attacks of assassin-type magical creatures such as shapeshifters and zombies that they left the scene in disgrace.

There were also two or three unlucky eggs who didn't even have time to activate the teleportation ring, and died on the spot under the sneak attack of the monster.

Looking at the situation in the picture, many people were secretly glad that they didn't have a fever to participate in the trial.

However, while the participants were leaving the venue one after another, many people also shined.

Among them, the most eye-catching are Meng Wei, Sang Fan and Su Shouhai.

As soon as Meng Weifu entered the labyrinth, he immediately cast a spell to summon more than a dozen giant wolves with frosty white hair and sharp fangs.

"It's the winter wolf of the Meng family!" Knowledgeable people immediately recognized the origin of the giant wolf.

The bloodline of the Meng family comes from an ancient creature called the Frost Plague Silver Wolf.

It is a powerful creature born with the ability to manipulate the ice elemental and dominate the wolf pack.

Therefore, the descendants of the Meng family, who inherited this bloodline, were born close to wolf creatures.

They can make contracts with all kinds of powerful wolf beasts and drive them into battle.

The Meng family's wolf pack tactics are famous throughout Dawn City.

In the picture, relying on the winter wolf's powerful sense of smell and tracing ability, Meng Wei's pathfinding process is much easier than that of other participants.

On the other side, Sang Fan and Su Shouhai also showed their respective pathfinding methods.

Sang Fan directly transformed into a giant dog with fiery red hair, and used his powerful sense of smell to explore his way.

Su Shouhai opened a third eye in the middle of his eyebrows.

The strange eyes seemed to have the ability to see through obstacles.

With this third eye, Su Shouhai can often easily find the right path and avoid monsters in advance.

In addition to these three people, there are two others who have also received a lot of attention.

One is a blonde teenage girl.

The girl has delicate facial features and a hot body, and when she first appeared in the picture, she also attracted the fiery attention of many male apprentices.

However, when I saw her disintegrate at the fork in the road and turn into countless flies and insects, flying to different rooms, those fiery eyes disappeared in an instant.

Wizard apprentices are more receptive than ordinary people, but no matter how heavy they are, they can't accept a woman who has transformed her body into a hive.

Even if she looks like a rare beauty.

The other is Pei Ze.

Originally, Pei Ze was inconspicuous under the cover of Sang Fan and others.

The reason why it became like this was because of Gu Rin and Meng Kai's bet.

Many people want to see who can win the huge sum of 500 Magic Stone Coins in the end.

However, when they saw that Pei Ze didn't even cast spells, and easily killed many monsters with just one long sword, many apprentices showed a look of shock.

"What a strong melee ability!"

"This speed, this strength, and physique have definitely reached the peak level of a great knight."

"Is this really a first-year student at Tower Academy?"

"You don't know, do you? I heard that this student named Pei Ze, last month"

Under the narration of those in the know, Pei Ze's record of killing legendary knights quickly spread.

Everyone suddenly realized.

Dare is a strong man who has the strength to kill legendary knights.

It's no wonder it's the object of high stakes.

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Meng Kai snorted coldly.

He frowned slightly when he saw Pei Ze summon a fog crow to explore the way, but he quickly relieved himself and chuckled.

"Demon pet tokens, interesting, but this wayfinding method, how many magic pet tokens can he consume?"

Hearing this, Gu Rin and Yin Guang invariably showed strange looks.

Others don't know, but they know very well that there are at least two or three thousand of the demon pet derivatives in Pei Ze's hand.

At the beginning, the crows took off in the sky, and the scene of covering the sky and the sun is still vivid.

Sure enough, as he continued to look, the smile on Meng Kai's face gradually disappeared, and his eyes turned to a look of consternation.

These are all four or five hundred demon pet derivatives dead, and there are still any?

How many Demon Pet tokens does Pei Ze have?

Just as Meng Kai was in doubt, Gu Rin's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"It seems that Pei Ze's demon pet derivatives are quite numerous, and they should be able to last for a while, what do you think, Yin Guang."

Although Yin Guang didn't have much of a good impression of Pei Ze, he also understood that this should be unanimous to the outside world, and chuckled when he heard this: "I think that's the case too." ”

As he spoke, he cast a mocking glance at Monkai.

Meng Kai's face was slightly gloomy, and he sneered coldly: "So what, can he still use this method to reach the center of the labyrinth all the way?" ”

Gu Rin pursed his lips and was about to refute, but suddenly saw that the situation in the picture had changed, so he ignored Meng Kai and hurriedly looked into the air.

In the picture, Pei Ze began to attack the wall.

A sharp and piercing voice quickly came out of the picture, attracting a lot of attention.

"Revitalize the walls?!"

"I'll go, it's disgusting."

"There's something wrong with the sound, it feels a little like the cry of the grass for help."

"Cry out for grass? What is that? ”

"A plant that screams when it encounters danger, luring nearby beasts to gather and attack enemies."

"And this plant?!"

"Look, there's a monster gathering!"

Seeing the dense monsters on the corridor, many apprentices suddenly felt numb.

Just when everyone watching the battle felt that Pei Ze was in trouble, they were stunned by the latter's actions.

"What's that?"

"It's an elemental rune, a derivative secret technique of enchantment!"

"I heard that this kind of secret technique is very difficult, and ordinary enchantment apprentices can't do it, but I didn't expect Pei Ze to master it."

"That's right, if you want to learn elemental runes, you must first be proficient in enchantment, it is impossible for people who can't enchant to master elemental runes, Pei Ze looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, he can master lightning runes at this age, he is already very powerful, etc.! Earth Runes! And the Wind Rune! How could this guy have so many elemental runes?! ”

The person who spoke was stunned and could no longer speak.

Yin Guang stared at the light curtain with a stunned expression for a while, and then came back to his senses and muttered to himself with a puzzled face:

"Isn't Pei Ze a pharmacist, how can he even enchant?"

Gu Rin: "."

If nothing else, Pei Ze's elemental runes should come from the gem enchantment knowledge she lost to the other party in a bet.

It's just that what shocked her was that Pei Ze had only been able to get the gem enchantment knowledge for more than a month, and in such a short period of time, he had mastered the elemental runes!

And not just one, but three!

What kind of demonic talent is this?

Gu Rin set off a monstrous wave in his heart.

She knew that Pei Ze's talent in pharmacy was very good, and he had been praised by Mo Weng himself.

But now it seems that Pei Ze's enchantment talent is not much inferior to his potion talent.

"Is this guy a monster?"

Gu Rin took a light breath, his mood was indescribably complicated.

Whenever she thought that she had a clear enough understanding of Pei Ze's talent, the latter would show even more outrageous talent in the blink of an eye, and the 'surprises' that gave people were endless.

At this time, Gu Rin had a feeling that his qualifications were actually very mediocre and ordinary.

The only thing she could console herself with now was that the better Pei Ze performed, the higher her hopes of winning the five hundred magic stone coins.

"This kid"

Meng Kai was secretly surprised, and his eyes were fixed on Pei Ze.

At this moment, a trace of bad feelings suddenly arose in his heart.

Soon, however, he shook his head violently again, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart.

It's just elemental runes, and it doesn't mean anything.

Pei Ze has some means, but the overall strength is still inferior to the three of Meng Wei, and there will be no surprises in the results of the competition.

Before he knew it, Pei Ze had been in the maze for nearly twenty hours.

As you go deeper into the labyrinth, the terrain becomes more and more complex.

There are often two exits in a room, and the exits in each room are occasionally connected to each other.

In this case, even if there is a fog crow to explore the way, Pei Ze's travel speed will inevitably slow down a lot, and sometimes he will go in the wrong direction and go back to the original place.

"Fog crows alone won't work."

Pei Ze frowned slightly, and there was a contemplative look in his eyes.

It stands to reason that this trial is a stage for the participants to show their strength, and the theme should be the confrontation between the participants.

The labyrinth is just a stage, and it shouldn't be overpowered.

The design of the maze is extremely intricate, and it is completely upside down.

After all, the main purpose of the Dawn Council is to select three elite apprentices with high strength, not those who are good at exploring mazes.

Thinking in this direction, it is likely that the Dawn Council has prepared something in the maze to help participants overcome the difficult terrain and reach the center of the maze.

"The question now is, where is this thing?" Pei Ze frowned in contemplation.

After a moment, he shook his head, no longer dwelling, and continued to explore.

Anyway, as long as this thing does exist, then he will find it sooner or later if he explores it.

With this in mind, Pei Ze stepped into a new room that had not been explored, and the next moment he saw a treasure chest placed squarely in the center of the room.

Well, he feels like he's probably found what he's looking for.

In order to prevent the cat from getting tired, Pei Ze gave an order to the ferocious boar man to come forward and open the treasure chest.

Otherworldly creatures summoned by the Level 1 Summoning Monster Spell can only accept simple orders from the caster - unless the caster happens to master the language of the otherworldly creature.

As a result, the ferocious boar people are unable to carry out the 'difficult' work of pathfinding.

As Pei Ze gave the order, the ferocious boar man took heavy steps, came to the treasure chest, rudely grabbed the copper lock on it, and prepared to use brute force to tear it off.

But as soon as it touched the treasure chest, an invisible wave instantly spread.

In the void five meters away from the ferocious boar man, the air suddenly twisted and twisted.

A large black oval hole appeared out of thin air, and a tall humanoid creature emerged from the black hole with heavy steps.

It had a huge bull's head, a pair of black curved horns proudly cocked on both sides of the head, and white gas erupted from its thick nostrils.

The muscular body was covered in reddish-brown hair, and he wore no armor, except for a dark yellow leather belt around his waist.

If its upper body looks barely human-like, but excessively thick, its lower body is completely corbels, with two golden ankles on its ankles, and a pair of hard hooves with forked hooves like black and heavy pieces of iron.

Minotaur!

Pei Ze's eyes were slightly condensed.

The minotaurs of this world are not fantasy monsters.

Rather, it is a powerful creature whose combat power is comparable to that of a first-order legendary knight.

They are strong, powerful, vicious, bloodthirsty, and hot-tempered, and will violently kill any creature that dares to invade their territory.

And at this moment, this room is obviously regarded as their own territory by the Minotaurs.

As soon as it landed on its feet, it let out a roar that shook the room, and then with a huge two-sided battle axe, it charged murderously towards the nearest ferocious boar man.

Pei Ze grinned, obviously, there was a trigger spell set on the treasure chest, and anyone who opened the treasure chest would trigger the summoning circle on it and summon the minotaur out.

In order to obtain the contents of the treasure chest, you must defeat the guardian monster of the Minotaur.

The ferocious boar man's combat power is not as good as that of the minotaur, in order to prevent the hard-summoned striker from being killed, Pei Ze put on a mage armor without saying a word, and then gave the minotaur a weakening ray.

After receiving a gray ray, the minotaur had a noticeable delay in his movements.

It finally noticed the 'little dot' next to it.

Although the minotaur was savage and irritable, his IQ was not low, and he quickly recognized the identity of Pei Ze's spellcaster, and immediately left the ferocious boar man and turned to kill Pei Ze.

Pei Ze was not used to it, and when he raised his hand, it was a freezing ray, which directly caused a layer of frost on the surface of the bull's body, and the speed of the wild run slowed down visibly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pei Ze directly did not explain the combo.

Spell Missile, Fireball, Burning Hand.

After three attacking spells, the minotaur was bombarded and howled miserably, and finally understood that this little bit in front of him was more dangerous than the ferocious boar man.

However, it was too late, and under the combined siege of Pei Ze and the ferocious boar people who caught up from behind, the minotaur was soon covered in bruises.

After only two or three minutes, it fell to the ground with reluctance and despair, and lost its life.

Looking at the huge corpse of the minotaur, Pei Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

In the past, he had to use almost all his means to deal with Huo Nan, but now he didn't even need to use Fog Feather, and he only used a few spells to kill a legendary knight-level powerful monster, what a big difference.

Compared to that time, his current strength seems to have improved a lot.

After settling down, Pei Ze stepped forward to cut off the horns of the minotaur, which was a good material for enchantment and could not be wasted.

Putting away his horns, he let the ferocious boar man continue to open the chest.
