It was approaching evening.

Zhao Changzhong reviewed the last document and wrote his name in the signature area.

After doing all this, he put the completed documents in one place as usual, as if today was just an ordinary day.

Following the Federation's last internal blood change, all the disciples of the Gu School were expelled from the Federation except for Zhao Zhiru.

In order not to destroy the ancient school in his own hands, he became a victim of the struggle between various factions.

For so many years, he had never contacted his disciples scattered all over the world.

The first is to protect them, and the other is to paralyze the Federation and give the opponent the illusion that the ancient school is difficult to achieve.

In fact, his practice just protected those disciples to the greatest extent, and also protected the continuation of the ancient school.

What the Federation didn't know was that even if they were far away, as long as there were mountain ghost copper coins, it would not be difficult for Zhao Changzhong to establish contact.

And today, it's the perfect time to restart.

Those disciples will also enter the trial area with him at 0:00 tonight to drive away evil spirits together.

For the sake of insurance, before every major decision, Zhao Changzhong has the habit of divination.

Today is no exception.

With a flick of his hand, the copper coins on his wrist automatically slipped off the red rope, and then lay in his palm one by one.

You can only hang it up to once a day.

When asked about how his trip was going and the future of the ancient school, he chose the latter.

After the copper coin was thrown, it settled again.

Zhao Changzhong looked at it intently, it was a decent hexagram.

He was already satisfied with this result.

Individuals will eventually perish, and hope can only be continued from generation to generation only by guarding the torches that have been passed down from generation to generation.

That's why he asked about the future.

Just as he flicked his wrist and re-put the copper coins into the red rope and put them on.

But the vision happened.

The originally solid red rope was broken without warning.

Rao is no matter how fast he reacted, he reached out to catch it, but he couldn't catch all the copper coins.

A few slipped from the cracks in his hands and fell straight to the ground with a crisp aftersound.

It wasn't until he bent over to pick it up that he realized:

There were no more copper coins that fell to the ground, just three.

His eyebrows jumped subconsciously.

When his eyes fell on the final hexagram, a scene that worried him still happened:

It's actually a hexagram.

This hexagram symbolizes a lot of dangers, and it also means that the house leak coincides with overnight rain.

In short, it is extremely dangerous and does not bode well.

Zhao Changzhong picked it up quietly and put the scattered copper coins and broken red ropes into his pocket.

Then, as usual, he carefully wiped down the ornaments in the room.

These ornaments and their placement have a special meaning.

Its biggest role is to suppress evil and keep one side safe.

Even if he can't return triumphantly, with these towns, he can buy some time for those who come after him.

After wiping the treasure clean, he went to the wall where the two bronze coin swords hung and stopped for a moment.

In the end, he only took one of them.

Waving and dancing, there is still the same posture as it was back then.

It wasn't until night fell that he left with the bronze sword.

Zero, 6-1 Trials Zone.

This time the trial area is different.

In Qin Yu's words, it is weird, and it is quite weird.

The entire area was shrouded in a thick fog, and even with the help of the gods and ominous, she still couldn't find out what was hiding behind the fog.

The sensitivity of the bracelet and its own perception ability have also been greatly reduced after entering here.

The distortion values that can be detected by the device are sometimes high and sometimes falling, even if the values are inaccurate, and even the positioning function of the catastrophic chemical is jumping around irregularly.

On one occasion, the bracelet was positioned directly on his head.

She was speechless.

Together, they were identified as a catastrophe by the bracelet?

Later, she turned off the bracelet directly, so that it would not affect her judgment.

There was almost no visibility here, and she could barely see the ground beneath her feet when she tried to distinguish it, and no matter how much she could, she couldn't see through it.

Because of her obstructed vision, she was walking much slower.

Sometimes you can only judge your environment based on the terrain and soil under your feet.

Strangely, the changes in the surrounding environment are just as mind-blowing as the crazy bracelet.

Obviously, she was in a lifeless wasteland a second ago, and when she stepped forward, she realized that the border with the wasteland was actually an oasis full of mess.

These two areas are like two pieces on a huge jigsaw puzzle, and the other parts are not half-dime related except for the marginal fit.

Split and weird.

She didn't rush into the seemingly harmless oasis, but walked along the dividing line.

Because of the existence of the dense fog, she ignored something.

Her instincts told her that there was something hidden in the area.

The dividing line is the best landmark.

She walked all the way forward, the mist covering her body, with a sticky wet feeling.

It was wet, as if a basin of cold oil had been poured on it.

If you stay in the fog for a long time, your body will inevitably feel an indescribable heaviness.

She could feel the steps getting smaller and smaller, as if something was stumbling over her.

Suddenly.

The shadows of the trees appeared in the thick fog ahead.

Although it was close at hand, Qin Yu could only vaguely distinguish its rough outline.

Judging from the branches of the fangs and claws, it seems to be an ancient tree that has been dead for a long time.

Dead trees growing in the wasteland, seemingly unusual.

When she looked at it for a moment, she felt that this tree had a strange smell everywhere.

Ever since she came to the trial area, she has found a problem:

The fog itself can isolate the human senses and has its own distracting effect.

Hearing, sight, and intuition are gradually deprived of prolonged solitude.

Right now, the sense of uncertainty from the dead tree itself is eating away at her will like insects and ants.

After some struggle, she stepped forward, using the Stygian in place of her hand, and leaned towards the tree.

The next second.

A muffled sound came from the blade to her tiger's mouth.

Although the dead tree was just a dead thing, the shock in her hand made her feel a little painful.

Qin Yu was no stranger to the touch of trees, but the muffled sound just now and the shock after the stabbing of the blade were obviously not something that a tree could emit.

Other words......

In front of me was nothing more than something that looked like a tree, but was not a tree at all.

After realizing this, she suddenly became a lot more vigilant.

She just wanted to reach out and meet this guy who pretended to be a tree.

Suddenly.

Click-

Something rolled off the tree and slid straight to her feet.

The thing stopped rolling as it hit her foot.

She subconsciously took a step back, just about to flick the knife and nail the thing.

The whole picture of the thing actually appeared round in the moment she lowered her eyebrows.

It turned out to be a white skull!
