Chapter 858: Testing

"Brother Li, you said that we joined this Xuancheng, will they restrict our movements?" Shi Chuankong said first.

"It's not necessarily restrictive, I'm afraid that some things or tasks will be assigned, and it will inevitably delay some time. The living environment here is extremely harsh, and those who can survive must always give something and follow the rules here. Han Li said with a deep groan.

"I'm afraid that there will be a lot of trouble, I don't want to really join any Xuancheng and become a Shunmin. Shi Chuankong pouted and said.

"The situation is forced to take one step at a time. Try to be careful, after all, we're new to the city and don't know much about it. Han Li shook his head and said.

"Brother Li thinks these people will be unfavorable to us?" Shi Chuankong scratched his head when he heard this.

"I don't think anyone who can be treated as a prisoner in your sanctuary and abandoned here is a good kind. If you were soft-hearted, you wouldn't be able to live today. Han Li said with a sigh.

"It's also said that the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. Shi Chuankong said with a smile.

"Li Daoyou, Shi Daoyou, what do you think of Chenyang?" said the crab Daoist suddenly.

"The contact time is still short, but looking at his relationship with his subordinates, and his words and deeds these days, it seems to be not bad. Shi Chuankong said.

"What, Fellow Crab Daoist, what abnormalities have you discovered?" Han Li asked with a slight frown.

"Nope. I just think that he has not known us for a long time, but he is willing to break the rules of Xuancheng for us, which seems to have ......gone too far," the crab Taoist muttered.

"This ...... I don't think it's a big deal, it's just a means to win people's hearts, I've seen too much. Shi Chuankong smiled when he heard this, and said.

"Although there may not be a demon when things go wrong, we must not relax. Han Li said thoughtfully.

......

While Han Li and the three of them were talking, there was a huge hall on the top floor of the left wing of Qingyang City.

On the four walls of the hall hung a huge brazier, which seemed to be made of the skull of some kind of giant beast, and the grease in it burned continuously, emitting a bright light, reflecting the whole hall in a bright light.

In the middle of it, against the wall, was a large stone table, carved with many intricate patterns that were not often seen in the Scaly Skyclave, but they were all night star maps.

Behind the table, there was a large black stone chair covered with the skin of an unknown giant beast, and a burly black-robed man sat on it.

Half of its cheeks had black scales, but the other half seemed to have been burned by flames, and its muscles were all knotted, and its body was twice as tall as an ordinary person, and its muscles were swollen and exaggerated, making it look very vicious and ugly.

However, one of his eyes is very special, with mostly whites, small pupils, ink-like black pupil edges, and a circle of silver-white luster embedded in them.

Not far from the table in front of him, Chenyang was hunched over with a happy face, telling him something.

"Lord Castle, that's basically the situation of those three people. At last, listen to what he says.

The man he called the city lord was none other than Du Qingyang, the owner of this Qingyang City.

"Hehe, a human race, a demon race, and a self-aware puppet, it's a very interesting combination...... The news of these three people hasn't spread, has it?" Du Qingyang leaned forward, folded his hands to support his chin, and said with interest.

"Don't worry, the city lord, I know the stakes in this matter, and I have told my brothers that they will keep their mouths tight and will not spread it. Chenyang hurriedly reassured.

"Well, I heard that Xuancheng and the puppet city snatched a person before, but it failed, which made Lord Eryu very dissatisfied. It is said that the man had entered the exile from the outside world. Now, we have picked up two at once, and if it is known by Xuancheng, we don't want to keep any of them. Du Qingyang glanced at Chenyang and said.

"That demon man doesn't matter, that human race can't be handed over, he has a true spirit bloodline, if someone else gets it, it will be a big loss. Chenyang nodded again and again.

"I'm still relieved that you're doing things. You can do the rest of the work, but don't go wrong. Du Qingyang straightened up, leaned back, and said lazily.

"Yes!" the lord of the castle can rest assured. Chenyang clasped his hands into fists and said respectfully.

......

In the evening.

Han Li was practicing Feather Flying Ascension Gong in his room when a knock suddenly sounded outside the thin stone door.

When he got up and opened the door, he saw Chenyang standing outside the door with an apologetic face.

Han Li let him into the guest room and listened to him say:

"Brother Li, I'm really sorry, I originally thought that with my face, I could get a few people to be exempted from that evaluation, but I didn't think that the city lord not only sold my face, but scolded me. The lord of the city said that the rules of a city are the foundation of the city, and they must not be observed. ”

"It doesn't matter. Since we are going to join Qingyang City, we should have abided by the rules of Qingyang City, and this assessment should be measured how it should be measured. Hearing this, Han Li hurriedly waved his hand and said unhurriedly.

"Although the Lord of the City did not agree to be exempted from the test, he promised that as long as you all meet the standards of the Shunmin after the test, you can join my hunting party together without having to split up to other places. Chenyang said again.

"Oh, I don't know what this standard is?" Han Li said with a slight frown.

This is a measure of the physical strength of the person being measured. Specifically, it depends on the number of mysteries opened up. Those with more than 16 mysteries can meet the standard of obedience to the people, and those who are insufficient are demoted. If the number of mysteries is more than fifty-four, you can serve as the captain of the city defense team, and if the number is more than seventy-two, you can be the leader of the hunting team. Chenyang explained.

Han Li's heart moved slightly, when he saw Chenyang that day, he had revealed only fifty or sixty mysteries, which showed that the mysteries he had really opened up might not be more than that.

"I see. I don't know when the evaluation will be conducted?I just listened to the words of those two reporters, it seems that the first thing after entering the city is to conduct an evaluation?" Han Li's mind turned and he asked again.

"No hurry, no hurry. Brother Li and Brother Shi have traveled a long way and have worked very hard, so today you will rest for one night in a down-to-earth manner, and the evaluation will be put on tomorrow. Chenyang said with a smile.

"It's fine. Then thank you Chendaoyou. Han Li said with his fists clenched.

"Brother Li, don't be polite to me, the exemption from the test was not done, I really feel a little guilty in my heart. Chenyang hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Haha, Brother Chen, don't be like this, otherwise Li Mou should feel guilty. Han Li said with a smile.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Chenyang said goodbye and left.

Han Li returned to the room and pondered for a moment before sitting down cross-legged again, and after taking a beast core, he continued to close his eyes and cultivate.

Day 2.

Early in the morning, Han Li and the three of them descended from the third floor of Qingyang City with the morning sun, from the bottom floor all the way to the right, passing through the black fortress, and coming to the peak on the right.

The pattern is basically the same as the one on the left, and the mountain peak on the right is also divided into four layers.

As soon as he passed the huge doorway on the bottom of the mountain and entered the belly of the mountain, Han Li saw huge beast pens divided by stone walls, almost all of which contained a huge beast of various colors.

Among them were the blue-gray giant beasts covered in scale armor that Chenyang's team had brought with them when they went out before.

In the animal pen, you can also see many people in gray robes coming and going, doing some miscellaneous work of brushing and feeding the strange beasts, and they seem to be quite busy.

The group did not stay on this floor, and went directly to the second floor.

The space on the second floor is slightly smaller than the first floor, and there are also huge stone chamber beast pens distributed inside.

What is different from the first floor is that the strange beasts in the beast pen here are obviously not as obedient as those in the first floor, and they are either showing their jagged giant teeth and roaring, or they are hitting the fence with their bodies.

Most of the people guarding these pens are still servants dressed as servants, but you can also see some obedient people who are responsible for guarding the city, and from time to time they teach those restless beasts a lesson.

Chenyang led the three of them all the way up, and only after coming to the third floor did he stop.

As soon as he reached the third floor, Han Li saw two somewhat familiar faces, one was a round-faced man with sharp eyebrows, and the other was a cold-faced man with a long-eared square face, both of whom were wearing crimson robes, but they were the two reciprocal officials he had seen yesterday.

After Chenyang stepped forward to greet the two of them, he came to an independent stone room under their guidance.

This stone room is not small, much larger than Chenyang's cave area, but there is no room division in it, and there are no superfluous furnishings, at a glance it looks like a school built indoors.

"The puppet doesn't need to be tested, which of the two of you will come first?" the long-eared and square-faced warden glanced at Han Li and the two of them, and said coldly.

"Anyway, it's going to be tested, whoever comes first is the same, so I'll come first. Han Li was about to speak, when he heard Shi Chuankong say.

"Okay, then please this ...... Shi Daoyou, take a step up to the stone platform here. The round-faced warden said with a smile.

On the ground in the middle of the room, there is a black stone platform with a radius of dozens of zhang, only two feet above the ground, and there seems to be a layer of white crystal powder on it, which slightly reflects the luster of the lights in the room.

Shi Chuankong walked up as he said and came to the middle of the stone platform.

"Shi Daoyou, you don't need to have any complicated actions, you just need to stimulate your own mystical skills and light up all the mysteries that have been opened up on your body. The round-faced warden reminded.

Shi Chuankong nodded, and after his hands clenched into fists for a while, a loud cry suddenly came out of his mouth.

Immediately afterward, I saw a layer of hazy white light on his body light up, and one after another the mysteries lit up on the surface of his body.

Han Li first released his divine sense to sweep over the black stone platform and white crystal powder, and after noticing nothing unusual, his eyes condensed slightly, and landed on Shi Chuankong's body.

I saw that Shi Chuankong's body soon lit up one after another.

10th, 20th, 30th......

Seeing this, Han Li's heart moved.

Judging from the current trend, there should be a lot more mysteries on Shi Chuankong's body than himself.

Sure enough, after the thirty-seventh aperture on his body lit up, the thirty-eighth aperture lit up again, and it didn't stop until the forty-fifth aperture lit up.

At the same time, an invisible momentum emanated from its body, and the white crystal powder at his feet rippled and spread out.

The corners of Shi Chuankong's mouth hooked up a smile, and when he was about to withdraw the exercises and walk down, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

I saw that those white crystal powders seemed to be attracted by something, and they all circled and flew away from their bodies.

Because the distance was too close, and the speed was too fast, before the stone piercing could do anything, those crystal powders were already attached to the stone piercing hollow.

The next moment, there was a strange sound on Shi Chuankong's body, and the forty-sixth, forty-seventh, and forty-eighth mysteries also lit up one after another.
