When the masked man was completely dead, two middle-aged men with fierce faces walked out of the woods.

One of them had messy hair like a bird's nest, his face was painted with colorful patterns, his naked upper body was covered with Taoist scars, and a short animal skin skirt was wrapped around his waist, and at first glance he knew that he was a monk of the "Xuanling Sect".

The other was dressed in a black robe from head to toe, with a grim white skull pattern on the front placket and back. This kind of ghostly outfit is naturally the "evil ghost road".

"Haha, Brother Wu, this kid from the Thousand Machines Pavilion is really stupid. At least that kid from the Purple Void Gate just now was much smarter than him. The bird's nest whistled and recalled the group of 'ice lice', and kicked the corpse on the ground with a smile: "While it's still early, we might as well use these mature 'cold berries' to do a few more votes, right? Maybe we can meet a few more rookies like this." ”

"Hmph, you can't help but underestimate the heroes of the world too much, right?" Brother Wu of the Evil Ghost Dao snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "If it weren't for the fact that the natural cold of this Biyan Lake has the effect of hindering the detection of spiritual sense, do you think that your 'ice lice' and my 'White Bone Servant Demon' alone can calculate others so easily?"

"It's the wisest choice to accept it when you see it, if you don't show up your tricks and provoke those perverted characters, I'm afraid that two more of you and I won't be enough for others to cut!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Wu is right. So what are we going to do next?" the bird's nest head scratched his unkempt hair in embarrassment, completely looking at Brother Wu's horse.

"Let's pack up quickly and try our luck at some of the elixir producing areas in Central. I think those who have a little strength will definitely not let go of those resource points. Brother Wu put away the precious cold berries while cautiously scanning the surrounding woods.

As a seasoned hunter, he understands the weaknesses of human nature. The more time it is time to harvest, the more we must not let our guard down. The masked man of the "Thousand Machines Pavilion" just now should not be too weak, and he is protected by two first-order high-level puppets by his side, if he hadn't launched a sneak attack when he successfully picked the cold berry grass and his mind was relieved, his "White Bone Servant Demon" would not have been able to succeed so easily.

"Okay! This trip to the secret realm can smoothly meet Brother Wu, and it is really lucky. Aha! The 'Calm Mask' this man is wearing is still a high-end product, which is really good!" the head of the bird's nest replied happily, and then quickly scavenged the masked man's corpse, and then used a fireball to turn it into a pile of flying ashes.

Finally, as soon as they collected the two high-level puppets that had lost their owners, they quickly disappeared into the woods opposite.

..................

Of course, Lin Quan was completely unaware of what happened to the masked man. With the help of the puppet leopard, it took him more than two hours to finally cross the Aoki Forest. Along the way, he saw no less than a dozen corpses of disciples of various sects, all of which fully demonstrated the bloody nature of the secret realm trial.

He knew very well that this situation represented the first wave of killings in the secret realm that had been fully launched. According to the experience of the predecessors, the fifteen-day Three Kingdoms Trial can be roughly divided into three stages, and it also represents three waves of large-scale killings.

The first wave of killings begins as soon as everyone is teleported into the realm, and typically lasts between three and five days.

During this period, there are only two paths for the trash fish who are below the twelfth level of the exercises. The first is to be slaughtered by the mad killers, and the bones are buried forever in the secret realm. The second is the very small number of people with a nimble mind and good luck, who will purposefully search for a few resource points and immediately find a hidden place to hide until the end of the trial.

In addition, in the first wave of killings, a small number of disciples of the twelfth layer of cultivation would unfortunately die. Most of them are people who are unlucky or not very flexible.

For example, Mo Daoyou, the "Demon Domain Floating Massacre" who died in the hands of Lin Quan first, belongs to that kind of unlucky person. Originally, with his cultivation at the peak of the twelfth layer and a pair of top-level magic weapons, he was definitely the top hunter except for those thirteenth-layer cultivators. It's a pity that he overestimated himself, and was killed by Lin Quan when the sneak attack failed.

As for the man in the mask of Qianji Pavilion who was killed by the "Bird's Nest Head" and "Brother Wu" in the name of a few cold berries, he was a person with an inflexible mind. This kind of person will not escape the next time even if he is lucky enough to survive this time.

The second wave of killings generally occurs on days 5 to 10. The scope can basically affect the entire outer ring, middle ring and inner ring.

Those who played the role of killers were all elite disciples whose exercises were at the peak of the twelfth layer. During this time, most of the resource points in the secret realm have been swept by people, except for the inner ring. As a result, the storage bag of the person who participated in the trial became the most valuable thing to snatch. All the elite disciples of each sect will be like bloodthirsty sharks frantically searching for their prey. All the rookies who are not hiding well will be found by them one by one, and finally die without a place to bury. However, as soon as the tenth day passes, these elite disciples who have made good gains will find a safe place to hide, just like the survivors of the first wave of killing, and will never appear again until the end of the trial.

The third wave of killings lasted ten days and lasted until the end of the trial. They are the core disciples of those thirteenth-level cultivators who have been pinned on by the high-level leaders of various sects, and these people are far superior to others in terms of both exercises and magic weapons.

Their purpose is twofold: the first is to use thunder to destroy the trial disciples of all other sects, weakening the opponent's strength while also snatching a large amount of valuable resources. The second is to enter the core area of the secret realm - the inner ring as quickly as possible. As for the purpose, Lin Quan is not clear for the time being, anyway, it is all a confidential mission issued by the top level of the sect.

These materials are all recorded in the jade slip that Zhou Lao gave at the end, but unfortunately, even Zhou Lao does not seem to be completely aware of the situation in the secret ring. Although he also entered the secret realm with the thirteenth layer of cultivation back then, he was very smart and did not rely on his cultivation to forcibly intervene in the dangerous inner ring, but spent all his energy and time on the various elixir production areas in Central. In the end, I successfully gained a lot of points and exchanged them for the required Lingning Pill.

"Inner Ring! I don't know what kind of place this inner ring is, even Zhou Lao is not sure to get out of the whole body, it seems that with my strength, it is also very auspicious to want to enter......" Lin Quan was a little confused in his heart.

He wasn't like Zhou Lao, just searching for a few valuable spiritual objects at random was enough to get trial points to exchange for Spirit Condensation Pill. In order to successfully advance to the condensation stage one hundred percent, he had to find all five main medicines, then use the Yin Yang Pagoda to ripen them, and finally refine a sufficient amount of Spirit Condensation Pill by himself.

However, the Qinglong Secret Realm is so big, there are only so many places that can really produce the five precious main medicines, even if he is lucky, he may not be able to find all five main medicines within fifteen days.

"Well, let's try our luck in Central first. However, if you have the chance, you still have to find a way to get some information about the inner ring from other people, and if you can't find the five main drugs in the middle ring, you have to take a risk to go to the inner ring. Lin Quan thought a lot along the way.

His idea of planning ahead was a good idea, but he also knew that it was not easy to obtain valuable inner information. Generally speaking, the people who can have that kind of information are ready to go to the inner ring, they are either the great masters of the thirteenth layer of cultivation or those real sect elites, and no one is easy to deal with.

After passing through the green wood forest, Lin Quan spent half a day exploring several nearby resource points, but unfortunately he didn't get anything other than harvesting some ordinary spirit grass seedlings.

Now he has set foot on the deserted "Pingshan Ridge". According to the map, Ping Shan Ridge is already the innermost section of the secret outer ring, and you can officially step into Central as long as you cross this vast hilly area.

Originally, Lin Quan did not plan to choose to enter Central from Ping Shan Ling. Because Pingshanling mainly produces some earth-attribute mid-level demon beasts and various low-level ores, there is no elixir and spirit grass he needs. But after he saw the secret realm information on Mo Daoyou's body, he suddenly changed his original mind.

The appearance of Pingshan Ridge is basically the same as the combination of 'wind-formed sand dunes and hills' and 'desert hills', and the first feeling to Lin Quan is the boundless desolation and the yellow sand all over the sky.

Finding the right direction, he would pocket some exposed ores and refining materials along the way, and spend a small amount of time searching the surrounding area quickly, and once the nearby area was no longer found, he continued to hurry without hesitation.

After another half a day, there were already several piles of different ores and materials in his Tai Chi space. Although the income is all ordinary goods, it is also a lot of gain. The reason why Lin Quan was able to harvest so much was not that he was particularly lucky, but mainly because the value of these low-grade materials was too low, and at the same time, they took up too much space. The ordinary monk's storage bag simply couldn't hold so many tasteless chicken ribs. Since others don't want him, of course he won't smile politely, anyway, since he had the Tai Chi space, he has never been worried about not being able to put things down.

Suddenly, Lin Quan, who was walking, slowed down, stared at the ground not far away with his eyes without blinking, and took out two magic weapons with both hands at the same time.

I saw two corpses of a man, a beast lying stiffly, and the blood that had not yet dried up stained the nearby sand. It looked like they had only recently died, especially since the monk had three storage bags around his waist.

"Oh no, hasn't that murderer left yet?" Lin Quan's heart was slightly shocked, he stood still in place, his eyes quickly scanning the surrounding situation.

It was a soft sandy area with nothing to catch the eye on the edge other than dozens of yellow-brown rocks of various sizes, and similarly, his proud and powerful spiritual sense had failed to detect any monsters or other monks.
