In front of the Castle Lord's Mansion Wooden Cave.

"This is the wooden cave of my city lord's mansion. Shi Zhongxiong pointed to a dark grotto in front of him.

"I've heard for a long time that the wooden grottoes of the City Lord's Mansion have a unique way to enhance the combat power of martial artists, and today I finally saw it. Someone in the crowd said.

"City Lord, since you have arrived at the Muren Cave, let's start the tryout. ”

The lord of the Supervision Mansion is a middle-aged man with a white face and beard, with a faint smile on his face, and he looks harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but if anyone underestimates him, I am afraid that he will die a miserable death, after all, this is a man who is known as the two giants of Xuanyan City along with Shi Zhongxiong.

Shi Zhongxiong glanced at the man with a light smile on his face beside him, and then said, "Since Mansion Master Li can't wait, our selection competition will begin." ”

Fifty-three contestants stepped forward. Shi Zhongxiong suddenly roared.

Fifty-three young people, including Liu Ling, all stepped out from behind their respective elders and stood in front of Shi Zhongxiong in a neat line.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the Muren Cave is opening the Linghai Cave, that is, the cave that corresponds to the strength of the martial artists of your Linghai realm. One pillar of incense, you only have the time of one pillar of incense, do your best to get more wooden hearts in the body of the wooden puppet, and only the twelve who have the most wooden hearts can qualify for the next round. ”

"There is also the strength of the wooden puppets in the Linghai Cave from the early stage of the Linghai to the peak of the Linghai, if you are unlucky enough to meet the wooden puppet at the peak of the Linghai and escape from the Wooden Man's Cave, then you are also a failure. ”

Liu Ling secretly smacked his tongue when he heard this, most of the fifty-three genius martial artists present were all cultivators in the early stage of the Linghai, and more than a dozen of them were cultivators in the middle of the Linghai, if they encountered the wooden puppet at the peak of the Linghai and failed, I am afraid that they could only ask the sky speechlessly, and secretly swallowed the bitter fruit, after all, sometimes luck is also a kind of strength.

"As long as you get out of the wooden cave, then even if you are over, okay, now come up and draw lots," Shi Zhongxiong said, and with a wave of one hand, a bamboo tube appeared in his hand, and dozens of wooden sticks were placed in the bamboo tube.

Fifty-three genius martial artists began to step forward to draw the wooden stick that belonged to them, and Liu Ling waited for a while and walked up.

"Forty-nine?" Liu Ling said secretly as he looked at the number on the wooden stick in his hand.

"Liu Ling, how many are you?" Shi Chong walked over and asked.

"Forty-nine. ”

"What?" Hearing the number of Liu Ling's answer, Shi Chong was obviously a little shocked.

"What, is there any problem?" asked Liu Ling.

"As far as I know, there are a total of ninety-nine passages belonging to the realm of the Spirit Sea in this wooden cave, and the wooden puppets in the other passages are as high as the monks in the late stage of the Spirit Sea, and the ninth, the nineteenth, each passage with a mantissa of nine, until the ninety-ninth passage, there are some real wooden puppets comparable to the peak of the spiritual sea. Shi Chong sighed.

Hearing this, Liu Ling opened his mouth wordlessly, your sister, this luck is too bad.

"What's wrong?" Li Rui and Qin Ming walked over with each other. Yue Wen and Yue Wu knew that their strength was not enough, so they did not participate in this selection competition.

"Liu Ling, he is forty-nine. "Shi Chongdao.

Li Rui and Qin Ming's eyes widened for a moment, Liu Ling's luck was really bad, so he could only pat Liu Ling's shoulder to show comfort.

"Don't worry, maybe you won't be able to touch the wooden puppet at the peak of the Spirit Sea. Li Rui said.

Liu Ling could only hehe, his luck was so bad, Liu Ling had a hunch that he would definitely be able to meet the wooden puppet at the peak of the Spirit Sea.

"You can only take one step at a time. ”

Liu Ling clenched his fists, if he was really unlucky, he could only use the Wuyan Life and Death Plate, otherwise he really couldn't beat it.

"Alright, let's get ready to enter. Shi Zhongxiong's voice rang out.

As soon as Shi Zhongxiong's words fell, the snake warrior lit a finger-thick incense, and the timer had already begun.

"Shi Chong, don't let me down, I can't even pass the first round. Li Luoyu's voice came.

Shi Chong squinted his eyes slightly at Li Luoyu, and said lightly: "You better take care of yourself, if you can't even pass the first round, then Li Luoyu's son will be discredited." ”

"Huh. ”

"Enter. ”

Shi Zhongxiong's voice fell, and fifty-three young warriors rushed into the wooden cave at the same time,

"Come on. ”

At the entrance of the passage, Shi Chong, Liu Ling, Li Rui, and Qin Ming cheered each other up, and then Shi Chong and the three of them entered their own passage.

Liu Ling looked up at the three words "forty-nine" carved on the rock above his head, and sighed helplessly.

The spiritual power surging under his feet, and he stepped out with light steps, and Liu Ling's body turned into a cloud of green smoke and entered the cave.

Outside the Muren Cave, at this time, the major principals of Xuanyan City were already seated, and they only needed to wait for the result after a pillar of incense.

"Lord City Lord, who do you think will be able to win this first round today?" asked Li Tianlin, the head of the Supervision Mansion, with a smile.

"Shi Chong, Li Luoyu The two little guys are the most likely, after all, the two of them have always been the two leading figures in Xuanyan City, and it is also possible that Li Qian, Qingqing, and Mu Si are not weak, and although Li Rui's niece is relatively weak, because of her own particularity, and the treasures given by Brother Fang, she cannot be underestimated. Shi Chong analyzed.

"The city lord is quite reasonable. Li Tianlin nodded. After speaking, Li Tianlin paused and continued: "But I think that kid Luoyu is always older than Shi Chong's nephew, after all, Luoyu has a hole card, don't forget it." ”

"You mean Li Luoyu's Wind Spirit Sword Body?" Shi Zhongxiong raised his eyebrows.

Li Luoyu's six-grade innate physique wind spirit sword body is a well-known thing in Xuanyan City, but for so many years, he has never seen Li Luoyu awaken, Li Tianlin said so, could it be that Li Luoyu's wind spirit sword body has awakened?

"Don't say it, don't say it. Li Tianlin shook his head with a smile.

"Old fox. ”

Seeing Li Tianlin's appearance, Shi Zhongxiong scolded secretly.

When the principals of the various forces behind the two of them saw the appearance of the two giants, they all secretly said in their hearts: These two people have begun to compete secretly again.

In the dark cave, Liu Ling is walking cautiously in it, the light in this wooden cave is extremely weak, which makes them Linghai martial artists be greatly restricted, and they must be vigilant all the time, otherwise if they are seriously injured by the sneak attack of the wooden puppet, let alone get the hearts of the wooden people, it is possible to die here.

The spiritual power in his body spread, and Liu Ling spread his spiritual power into a spiritual power net of about ten meters, so that if a wooden puppet quietly touches it, he can also react as soon as possible, although it consumes some spiritual power, but as a man who has opened up a spiritual sea of two hundred zhang, Liu Ling said that these are all drizzles.

"Cluck. Boom,"

Just as Liu Ling was carefully searching for the wooden puppet, a string of walking sounds came.

Liu Ling's body stiffened slightly, he was the only one in the forty-ninth passage, but at this time, there were other footsteps, what else could it be besides the wooden puppet.

As soon as he figured it out, Liu Ling felt a strong wind coming towards his face,

Hurriedly dodged over, and slapped his palm towards the place where the strong wind came.

"Bang. ”

A dull sound sounded, and Liu Ling took a few steps back.

With a shake of his hand, a flame ignited in his hand, illuminating the entire vicinity of Liu Ling.

With the help of this light, Liu Ling also saw the appearance of this wooden puppet clearly, this is a humanoid puppet composed entirely of wood, the whole body is cyan, I don't know what material it is made of, it is so hard, his palm is still a little painful.

The wooden puppet was two meters tall, a head taller than Liu Ling, its arms and legs were very thick, and there was a slight green light flickering on its chest.

Liu Ling's eyes froze. "That's the heart of the wood?"

The Great Wilderness Blood Halberd appeared in his hand, and Liu Ling took light steps towards the wooden puppet.

And a red glow flashed in the eyes of the wooden puppet towards Liu Ling.

Liu Ling looked at this female puppet comparable to the middle stage of the Spirit Sea, without the slightest hesitation, he dodged the attack of the wooden puppet, and the bloody battle of the Eight Desolations came out, and a blood line instantly pierced the chest of the wooden puppet.

A fist-sized green stone fell out of the middle.

Liu Ling picked it up and held it in his hand, and there were some runes on the green stone that were connected together, and a strange power permeated it. Liu Ling couldn't understand it.

"I guess it's the formation that stimulates the activities of the wooden puppets,"

"This wooden puppet looks like it has the appearance of the middle stage of the Spirit Sea, but in fact, it only has the combat power of the early stage of the Spirit Sea, which is not difficult to deal with. If you continue to calculate it like this, I am afraid that the wooden puppet at the peak of the Linghai will be about the same as the combat power of the late stage of the Linghai, so it will have the power to fight. "Put the wooden heart into the space ring, Liu Ling said secretly.

"Roar. ”

Just as Liu Ling was thinking, four voices rang out one after another.

Liu Ling looked at it, and four wooden puppets that were exactly the same as before rushed towards him.

A smile appeared at the corner of Liu Ling's mouth, and he greeted him with the Great Wilderness Blood Halberd, and after a while, Liu Ling beheaded the four-headed wooden puppet under the halberd, and put away the wooden heart.

"I'm a little stupid. Liu Ling suddenly patted his head,

"Huo Kemu, I always have the strongest nine heavens in heaven and earth to leave the fire, and nothing is burned. It's not easy to kill these wooden puppets. A fire burned clean. ”

"Haha, killing the wooden puppet after nine days of fire is as simple as eating," Liu Ling's strange laughter sounded in the wooden cave, and Liu Ling finally found his way to open it, looking for the wooden puppet like crazy.

Li Luoyu in the seventh passage, holding a long sword, still seemed to be at ease under the siege of more than a dozen wooden puppets.

"Sword rain, fall. ”

Li Luoyu suddenly stepped on the shoulder of a wooden puppet, the whole person jumped high, and the dark cave was suddenly illuminated by light and shadow, Li Luoyu's body condensed a dense light sword, as his words fell, the sword rain fell violently, more than a dozen wooden puppets were instantly cut to pieces, and the hearts of the wooden people were scattered on the ground.

Li Luoyu picked up the wooden human heart expressionlessly, and his eyes didn't know where to look. muttered in his mouth. "Shi Chong, don't let me down. ”

"And that guy named Liu Ling. ”

In the twenty-third passage, Shi Chong easily defeated a wooden puppet, looked at his wooden heart, and it was close to fifty, with a smile on his face.

In passage 30, Li Ruiyu's hand was on the chest of the wooden puppet, and the wooden puppet was as stupid as it was moving.

"Hmph, a simple formation also wants to hide it in front of Miss Ben. Miss Ben is a second-level formation mage who has condensed a hundred array seals. ”

Every genius martial artist in the passage is using their own means to defeat the wooden puppets, collect as many of their wooden hearts as possible, and become one of those twelve people.

After the pillar of incense burned halfway, the first person finally came out of the wooden cave, this is the genius of a small family in Xuanyan City, seeing that he was the first person to come out, his face turned pale, this is not a speed, see who came out of it first, the first to come out, it is obvious that he has failed.

The patriarch of that family also kicked the young man fiercely.

With the appearance of the first person, people appeared from the passage one after another.

Looking at the pillar of incense again, only about a third of the way remained.

In the forty-ninth passage, Liu Ling stood in the black ashes all over the ground, grinning and smirking, just now with the help of the sharp weapon of the Nine Heavens Separation Fire, he had collected dozens of wooden hearts. And it didn't cost any aura.

Many people fought with this wooden puppet, and in order to get more wooden hearts, they would consume a lot of true qi, which would lead to a big loss in the second round! However, Liu Ling did not lose much because of the convenience of leaving the fire in the nine days, which made Liu Ling undoubtedly take a big advantage in the second round.

However, Liu Ling found that the higher the level of the female puppet, the stronger the resistance to the Nine Heavens Separation Fire, Liu Ling estimated that if he encountered the wooden puppet at the peak of the Spirit Sea, I am afraid that the Nine Heavens Separation Fire would not have such an obvious effect as it is now. It's not that Nine Heavens is not good from the fire, but Liu Ling's current realm can't exert the power that the Nine Heavens from the Fire should have, to put it bluntly, Liu Ling's strength is too poor.

"Collect more wooden hearts, and make sure that you can easily advance to the next round. Liu Ling thought in his heart.

Although he has taken a big advantage, he has hole cards, and others also have them, in case a dark horse pops up and just squeezes him out, then Liu Ling has no place to cry. Be sure to take a little more wooden hearts and be completely prepared.

Well, he is such a man who prepares for a rainy day.

Thinking like this in his heart, Liu Ling searched for the existence of the wooden puppet as he walked.

Suddenly, Liu Ling felt a powerful aura and stopped.

Squinting at the wooden puppet in front of him, which was more than a meter taller than an ordinary wooden puppet, Liu Ling wailed in his heart.

"Nima, I really ran into it. ”
