Chapter 18: The Land of Trials

"The third trial is the hunting of demon beasts. You need to go through a ten-day trial, and it's not getting early, so go back first, go back tonight, and get ready for the third trial. When Su Muqing stood still, Liu Tianzhi said loudly, and after saying that, he turned around, and the figure disappeared on the grassland. He didn't say much about the circumstances of the third trial.

After Liu Tianzhi left, everyone also left here in twos and threes and walked towards the gate.

Lin Yidrunk didn't know when he left quietly, and he didn't go with He Qiao.

He Qiao and Su Muqing also walked towards the door, but as soon as they raised their feet, Su Muqing felt that her feet were soft and she almost fell, but fortunately, He Qiao helped her in time.

"Okay, don't be reckless, I'll carry you on my back. He Qiao said softly, he had already seen that Su Muqing had been overdrawn both physically and mentally at this time, and it was completely with amazing perseverance that he could step by step from above the sky.

Perhaps, as Liu Tianzhi said, no one is inevitably vain in her youthful nature; perhaps, she just wants to prove herself and prove herself to He Qiao, and she is not useless.

Whatever the reason, she managed to go step by step.

"Yes. Su Muqing sighed softly and did not continue to insist.

At night, He Qiao carried Su Muqing on his back and walked on the street of Chang'an City, under the background of the lights in the distance, a little lonely, but also a little warm.

————————

Time: Early morning ......

Location: Szeto House

"Ah Yan, help me call my eldest brother. In the study of the painting, a gentle and sweet voice came out.

Soon, Situ Nian appeared at the door of the study, he stood outside the door, and asked softly, "Sister, are you looking for me?"

Hua Jiao opened the door and walked out of the study, the morning sun was very gentle, rendering some blush for Hua Jiao's pale face.

"Sister, ...... you" Situ Nian opened his mouth in surprise, he couldn't remember how long it had been since Hua Jiao had walked out of the study during the day.

"Brother, I want to go out and experience a different life, maybe only in this way can I go further in my painting skills, help me arrange it, I want to go to the academy to study..."

——————————

"Ahem... Cough... Xiao Man. A faint call came from a dilapidated house, her voice weak, apparently dying.

Unfortunately, no one responded to her call...

"Sister, wait for me, I will definitely get the heart of the poison king. The students who participated in the trial in Qingyun Academy, an inconspicuous girl in black meditated in her heart.

——————————

After carrying Su Muqing back to the painting house, He Qiao left the painting house again, he wanted to go out to buy some things and prepare for tomorrow's trial.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, He Qiao and Su Muqing came to Qingyun Academy again.

Su Muqing was not injured yesterday, she was just mentally overdrawn, and after a night's rest, she had recovered.

Not long after, just now, an old man with white hair appeared above everyone, the old man was thin, his face was expressionless, and he looked a little cold, different from Zhuge Qing's indifference, this old man gave He Qiao a feeling of being a little gloomy and cold.

"Now that everyone has arrived, let me tell you about the rules of the trial. As soon as the old man appeared, he said: "This trial is very simple, later, you will be teleported to the endless forest, you need to be there, survive for ten days, while ensuring survival, you also have to continue to hunt demon beasts and obtain the inner pill of demon beasts." Ten days later, if you can take out ten fourth-order demon beasts, you can pass it. Of course, if you have the ability to hunt demon beasts above the fourth order, if you can take out a fifth-order demon beast inner pill, it will also be considered passed. ”

After a slight pause, the old man continued: "Remember, in the Endless Forest, there are no rules, and there is more than one way to obtain the Inner Dan, which is not only to hunt demon beasts. Speaking of this, the old man's gaze swept over everyone, making all the young boys and girls feel a chill in their hearts.

He Qiao's eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked a trace of arc, this trial finally began to be a little interesting.

There are only ten days in total, and if you want to obtain the Inner Dan simply by hunting demon beasts, you have to hunt at least one fourth-order demon beast every day to make up for it.

At least, for most fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers and girls, hunting a fourth-order demon beast every day is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Most of these teenagers and girls only have the strength of the Huihai Realm, and few of them have even reached the early stage of the Ning Dan Realm.

Although the strength of the fourth-order demon beast is much weaker than that of the cultivator of the Ning Dan Realm, it is not something that a Huihai Realm can deal with in the later stage.

If they want to hunt demon beasts, they must form small groups and join forces to hunt demon beasts.

If they formed a small group of five people, then they would have to hunt five fourth-order demon beasts in a day.

Five-headed, it doesn't sound like much, but it's really difficult, after all, they still have to spend a long time looking for demon beasts.

Moreover, if you really encounter a demon beast at the peak of the fourth order, it is not something that the five Huihai Realms can deal with in the later stage.

In this way, if you want to get enough Neidan, you can only grab it from others.

What the old man said before was that there were no rules, which was to encourage people to fight each other.

Seeing the severity on everyone's faces, the old man nodded slightly, and continued: "Now, you still have one last chance, choose to give up, just leave, once you enter the place of trial, life and death depend on luck, when the time comes, you don't even have the qualifications to give up, no one will care about your life or death, and no one will protect you." I can tell you that every year, at least thirty percent of people die in the Endless Forest. ”

Although the old man said it was very grim, but no one stood up and chose to give up, not that they all dared to face life and death, they just didn't feel the fear and despair of death, they were real newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers.

They have experienced too little, they think they will be the main characters in the story, and they believe that they will be the ones who come out alive.

"Very good, I appreciate your courage, and I hope you will all come out alive when the time comes. The old man glanced at everyone, smiled, and continued, "Since this is the case, then the trial will begin. ”

He Qiao: "..."

He Qiao was speechless, he found a very serious problem, this old man never mentioned it from beginning to end, no cheating and the like.

You must know that every year's trial is fixed, that is to say, there are many people who know the rules of the trial, so they can prepare the demon beast Neidan with them in advance, wait for the endless forest, hide it directly, and wait for ten days before coming out, then they can also pass.

Thinking of this, He Qiao thought of what Liu Tianzhi said yesterday, "You go back and make some preparations", and what Lin Yizui said, "As long as you have money, there is a way to pass". He Qiao could only sigh for a long time, Qingyun Academy simply took shamelessness to the extreme.

However, He Qiao does not reject this shamelessness...

Soon, on this vast prairie, the lines quickly lit up, forming a complex circular pattern, He Qiao only felt a flower in front of him, and immediately subconsciously locked Su Muqing's breath.

In the next moment, thousands of people on the grassland disappeared into thin air.
