"This trial is very simple, even if it is completed when it reaches this magic mountain, the first family to arrive will get eight desert road places, the second one will be four, and the third one will only have two. ”

Tang Xu asked people to hand over the Demon Hunting Forest Trial Map to the families and people who participated in the trial, basically making a copy for each person.

Xiao Zhan sat beside Xiao Yan, looking at the map in his hand and frowning, just hearing the Demon Mountain gave him a feeling of shock, thinking of Tang Su's words not long ago, he realized that this Demon Mountain may have some connection with the puppet clan that was sealed by the ancestors of the Xiao family back then.

For Tang Xu's words, many family representatives showed excitement, the first to arrive will have eight places, this is definitely an unimaginable temptation, even Xiao Yan, who was sitting next to Xiao Zhan, also showed excitement, where would the rest of the people have objections.

Xiao Zhan didn't say anything, although his heart was solemn, but he didn't want to talk about his worries at this time, back to the camp, Xiao Zhan couldn't wait to announce the good news, eight places This is absolutely unimaginable for the Xiao family, and the family has only obtained four at most in the past, which is already an extremely remarkable thing.

"Fifth uncle!"

Xiao Zhan stopped Xiao Yan, who was excited, and said with a wry smile: "There is one thing that the little nephew absolutely needs to explain to you clearly." ”

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Yi was stunned.

Xiao Zhan didn't speak immediately, but followed Xiao Yan into the guard's tent, and then lowered his voice and said, "Fifth Uncle has heard of the mystery of the origin of the Demon Hunting Forest?"

"Where did the Demon Hunting Forest come from?"

Xiao Yan twisted his eyebrows and said: "Although I also participated in the Demon Hunting Forest Trial back then, I really haven't studied its origin, but I just know that the Demon Hunting Forest has existed since ancient times, and it seems to have some kind of connection with our Xiao family." ”

Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice: "The Demon Hunting Forest does have a close connection with our Xiao family, in ancient times this was the place where the ancestors of the Xiao family sealed the puppet clan, and it was rumored that the most terrifying race in ancient times, the puppet clan, was suppressed under the Demon Hunting Forest. ”

"Puppets?"

Xiao Wei was a little dazed, the puppet clan was too far away from now, even if they were sealed under the Demon Hunting Forest by the ancestors of the Xiao family, as the children of the Xiao family, few people knew about it.

Looking at Xiao Yan's blankness, Xiao Zhan frowned secretly, the previous generation didn't know, whether anyone in the Xiao family knew about this secret in ancient times was a problem. Xiao Zhan wanted to doubt Tang Su's words, but his intuition told him that the other party was not lying, and all this was true.

"I don't know the specific little nephew, I only know that the puppet clan is extremely terrifying, in ancient times, in order to impact the ninth realm god realm, they had refined countless strong people in the world into puppets, and in order to exterminate them, the god dynasty sent the top powerhouses to suppress them, and the Xiao family is the representative of these people. The little nephew suspects that the destination of this trial, the Demon Mountain, is where the seal of the Xiao family's ancestors sealed the puppet clan back then, and the fifth uncle still remembers the people who appeared in the Xiao family's puppet demon palace not long ago, and the sudden change in this trial is likely to be caused by them. ”

Xiao Yan was very dazed, he didn't know anything about the puppet clan, and now that the trial was about to begin, it was naturally impossible for him to run to ask the old people in the clan to confirm the authenticity of this matter. However, although he felt dazed, Xiao Yan also realized the strangeness of this trial.

"Is your information reliable?"

Xiao Zhan spread his hands and said: "The little nephew didn't know in advance, he learned all this from Tang Su, the son of the state capital. The trial was arranged by them, and the little nephew wanted to be the son of the state capital, so he shouldn't joke about it. ”

Xiao Yan was not a stupid person, he immediately learned a message from Xiao Zhan's words: "You want to say that the people of the Puppet Demon Palace want to get the secret of the puppet clan's godhood, so they made this trial, and our Xiao family is regarded as the key to unlocking this secret." ”

Xiao Zhan said with a solemn face: "Actually, it is very easy to prove this, since the Xiao family is the key to solving this mystery, no matter what, our Xiao family's trial will definitely go smoothly until it is close to this magic mountain." ”

Xiao Zhan's words made Xiao Yan fall into deep thought, and the previous excitement suddenly disappeared, if the magic mountain is really a pit, then the Xiao family may really suffer heavy losses, the younger generation is the future of the family, and it is very likely that it will collapse for a long time. After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Zhan and said: "Regardless of whether this Demon Mountain party is dangerous or not, since the trial has begun and there is no turning back, our Xiao family can only go down." I will send the news back and let the real strong people of the family discuss countermeasures, as for the matter of the trial, you are the young master, and on the premise of ensuring that you can win the trial, you must try to ensure the safety of the family members. ”

Xiao Zhan nodded, he naturally understood that it was impossible to quit, and it was the only choice to bite the bullet, and the reason why he told the danger of the matter was not to retreat, but to make the Xiao family ready. Xiao Zhan knew very well that since the Demon Hunting Forest was a place where the ancient seals the puppet clan, he would never abandon it, even if the Xiao family did not have the ability to protect here, the Divine Dynasty would never let it go. As long as the situation here is spread, there will definitely be a real strong man who will come forward in the end, Xiao Zhan knows very well what his strength is, this kind of thing is definitely not something he can participate in.

Of course, the reason why Xiao Zhan was so calm was that he knew that this puppet clan's so-called god-becoming method was fundamentally wrong, and to take risks for a wrong thing was what a fool would do.

The trial began, and several major families were completely separated, which was customary, even if they had already decided to form an alliance, they would enter the Demon Hunting Forest from different regions. The four major families behaved normally, even the state government officials who had long expressed their willingness to form an alliance with the Xiao family also went their separate ways, and they never sent anyone over to express their intention to cooperate, as if everything had never happened.

Xiao Zhan didn't tell what he knew, although he was the young master of the Xiao family and the leader of the entire team, he hadn't fully mastered the team so far, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary panic and trouble. The Demon Hunting Forest Trial is a completely new terrain, and the previous experience naturally cannot be used at all, even if you have a map, the group is very careful.

The map was completely in Xiao Zhan's mind, and after less than an hour of travel, his brows furrowed, this was the first time he had led a team in his life, but the countless experiences in his mind made him full of dissatisfaction with the Xiao family's team. Laziness aside, the team did not have a sudden cohesiveness at all, and he was sure that if it was suddenly attacked, it would definitely become a plate of loose sand.

Xiao Zhan knew that this was not to say that the Xiao family was undisciplined, but mainly that they were not united in each other, and they were unwilling to cooperate with each other. The Demon Hunting Forest trial was extremely dangerous, and Xiao Zhan felt that it was necessary for him to pinch the entire team together.
