Chapter 36: The Journey of Trials
A month later, outside of Iwachi, Mo Zhiyao, Jun Ziqian, Meng Zhuxi, and Yu Yao left under the eyes of the Jun and Mo families.
Before leaving, Mo Zhiyao informed the patriarch Mo Wanjun that he had reached an agreement with Jun Ziqian, and the two families would divide Iwancheng equally, and the Shen and Ye families agreed to be attached. Since then, the four major families of Iwaki have only left the two families, Jun and Mo, who do not invade each other and go their own way. Such an ending made Mo Wanjun and Jun Dingtian very satisfied. After all, the two families are scruples and wary of each other. Before leaving, Jun Ziqian and Mo Zhiyao simply took care of everything, lest the two of them were not there, and the two families would have some trouble.
"Far away, we start from Iwacheng, all the way to the east, after crossing the branch of the Black Lotus Mountain Range, turn to the south, cross the Hundred Demon Valley, and then cross the Purple Shark Ling, we will arrive at the largest city on the border of the Qingban Country, Sunset City. Yu Yao's ink hair fluttered, and she said to Mo Zhiyao lightly.
Mo Zhiyao nodded when he heard this, but he just wrote down the places Yu Yao said, and he didn't care too much about it in his heart.
"If all goes well, it will take about four months to arrive. Yu Yao glanced at Mo Zhiyao and continued.
"Four months, isn't it two months?" Mo Zhiyao was stunned when he heard this, Jun Ziqian had said before that it would only take two months when they came back, how could it be doubled?
Turning his head, Mo Zhiyao saw the faces of Junzi Qian and Meng Zhuxi Tieqing. Puzzled, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Do you know what Uncle Shi just said?" Jun Ziqian's face was ugly, and he asked Mo Zhiyao, who stared at Mo Zhiyao with an indifferent face.
"I don't know, I haven't been. Mo Zhiyao said angrily.
"Then I'll explain it to you. Jun Ziqian had an urge to collapse, and said patiently to Mo Zhiyao. "Let's not talk about the branches of the Black Lotus Mountain Range, you have been there for more than a year, and you know better than me. ”
"The Hundred Demon Valley, with a radius of nearly 10,000 miles, and a straight-line distance of 3,000 miles. And worthy of the name, there are a hundred kinds of demon beasts inside, each of which is a race! And all of them are demon beasts that have cultivated above the Qi Gathering Realm, and many of them are big demons above the Spirit Transformation Realm. ”
"Purple Shark Ling is a piece of evil water that is thousands of miles away in a straight line, and the purple shark entrenched in it is also above the Qi Gathering Realm. And because it's in the water, it's harder to deal with. ”
"Whether it is the demon beasts in the Hundred Demon Valley or the purple sharks of Purple Shark Ling, they are all extremely hostile to humans, and once they encounter them, they will definitely not die. ”
"What!" Mo Zhiyao's face changed, and only then did he know the danger on the way. "When you came, you also took this way?"
"It's not. Jun Ziqian shook his head. "We came on a different road and didn't go through either of these places. ”
"Then why?" Mo Zhiyao asked puzzled. "Why take this path when there is another route to take?"
"Because of you!" Jun Ziqian obviously gritted his teeth, bursting out between his teeth.
"Because of me?" Mo Zhiyao was even more puzzled, not understanding what Jun Ziqian meant.
"Yes, because that's the introductory test for you. Yu Yao in the rear said. "Along the way, you're responsible for the safety of the three of us. If I don't take the initiative, then all the dangers will have to be solved by you. ”
Yu Yao's words are very clear, that is, unless he encounters a demon beast that Mo Zhiyao is completely impossible to defeat, Yu Yao will not help, and everything has to be resisted by Mo Zhiyao himself.
"Of course, you have three chances for me to help. However, if you ask me to make more than three shots before you arrive in Sunset City, then it means that you have failed the Introductory Trial. When we get to Sunset City, someone will take you back to Iwaki. ”
"But if it doesn't take more than three times, it means that you have passed the trial and can worship in the North Garden of the Tianjiao Alliance. Yu Yao looked at Mo Zhiyao and said.
Mo Zhiyao suddenly realized why Jun Ziqian said that when they came back before, it only took two months, but this time it took four months, it turned out that they were using this to carry out their own introductory trial.
"But don't worry, I won't put your life at risk. Yu Yao raised her hand to pull the hair on her forehead behind her ears and said slowly.
"One thing I also want to tell you is that three chances also represent three rewards. If you haven't used me to make a move along the way, then after you join the Tianjiao Alliance, you will get three rewards. This opportunity is rare, and the three rewards, each of which is extremely precious, are likely to make you soar in the Tianjiao Alliance. But as for what the reward is, we'll wait until Sunset City proves that you're eligible for it. ”
Mo Zhiyao nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "Senior Yu Yao, how many rewards have I received at most for a person like me who conducts an introductory trial?"
"How many copies?" Yu Yao heard this, the corners of her mouth curled, there was a bit of banter in her smile, and her jade hand was raised, stretching out a green jade finger. "One copy!"
"One copy!" Mo Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, saying so, all the teenagers who went through this kind of introductory trial, the best results were also made twice.
"I don't know about the others, but only ten of the people I led in the introductory trials have ever received a reward. Proportionally speaking, out of the hundred, thirty passed the trial, and the remaining seventy were all eliminated. Yu Yao's face was proud, and the pleasant voice like a pearl falling on a jade plate made Mo Zhiyao hear the arrogance in it. "The foundation of the Nine Patterns is just the threshold for qualifying to enter the Tianjiao Alliance. If you want to truly worship the Heavenly Pride League, genius is not enough, you must be demonic!"
One sentence made Mo Zhiyao's heart boil, genius? What is it! In the Tianjiao Alliance, there are only demons!
"A reward?" Mo Zhiyao stopped talking, his eyes flashed with essence, he turned around, strode forward, and said in his heart, "I, Mo Zhiyao, am not only a demon, but also a demon among demons, three rewards, I want them!"
Looking at Mo Zhiyao's back, the corners of Yu Yao's mouth rose slightly, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes. "This kid seems to have been aroused by my arrogance, and I hope I won't be disappointed. ”
For ten days, the four of them left the town and entered the range of the Black Lotus Branch.
Breathing in the fresh air, Mo Zhiyao had an indescribable feeling of pleasure. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the town, Mo Zhiyao prefers this deep and quiet dense forest.
"Whew!" a beast roared in the distance, startling the resident birds that roost in the forest. Mo Zhiyao moved his arms, the red glow under his eyes loomed, and he strode towards the dense forest.
Maybe it's because Mo Zhiyao has killed too many demon beasts in the past year, and the smell of blood emitted by his body is too strong, and many demon beasts have seen a few people from afar, all of them are vying to avoid it, until they are close to the middle line of the black lotus branch, and they encounter a red-tailed scorpion demon that is half human and half beast.
The upper body is a human body, and the lower body is scorpion-shaped. A huge tail of a foot long rises high, and the scarlet barbed tail at the end of the tail reflects the sunlight shining in the forest, reflecting a chilling cold glow.
"Hmph!" Mo Zhiyao snorted coldly, this kind of cultivated demon beast, when he rushed back from the source of thunder and lightning cave before, Mo Zhiyao didn't know how many he had killed. I didn't expect to meet a person who dared to twist a tiger's whiskers here.
"Huh!" Mo Zhiyao's body is like a ghost, and the momentum of rushing forward is not a straight line, it seems to be left and right, fluctuating, making it impossible to judge its true direction.
"This kid!" Jun Ziqian's expression was shocked, in less than half a year, he never expected that Mo Zhiyao's phantom body method would be cultivated to such a point, even more weird and fast than when he fought with him before.
Meng Zhuxi beside him was also shocked and amazed. And Yu Yao, who was behind the two, looked calm, but in fact, he was also shocked in his heart. Mo Zhiyao's strength was beyond her imagination.
"Snort!" Seeing Mo Zhiyao take the initiative to attack, the red-tailed scorpion demon shouted angrily, and the barb behind him crossed an arc, like a red lightning, with a sharp sound of breaking the air, stabbing at the top of Mo Zhiyao's head.
"Smack!" Mo Zhiyao stretched out his right index and middle two fingers, and in the shocked gaze of the three people behind him, he pinched the barb tail thorn of the red-tailed scorpion demon with incredible precision. At the same time, the figure turned to the side, raised his left hand, and with a "Peng!", he grabbed its thick, armored, long tail.
With the strength of his arms, Mo Zhiyao's eyes burst red, and the red-tailed scorpion demon, whose body was more than three times his size, was unexpectedly reincarnated by him and smashed to the ground.
"Peng!" a muffled voice sounded, and while the dust was flying, the red-tailed scorpion demon's terrible screams and the black blood in his mouth echoed in the air at the same time.
"Pong!Pong!Pong!. Mo Zhiyao became ferocious, grabbed the scorpion tail and didn't let go, and threw the red-tailed scorpion demon like a meteor hammer, and suddenly pierced the giant trees around him.
The violent place, seeing that the corners of Jun Ziqian's mouth twitched, Meng Zhuxi covered his face with jade hands, and he didn't dare to look at it again, even Yu Yao was moved.
"Boom!" pulled with his left hand, pulling the red-tailed scorpion demon in front of him, Mo Zhiyao's right fist was like thunder, and it slammed into the opponent's chest. A piercing sound of bone cracking sounded, and the red-tailed scorpion demon's sternum collapsed, and its body flew out like a meteor, crashing into the body of a giant tree, and the black blood in its mouth spurted out like a spring, and its eyes bulged, obviously inactive.
A demon beast with spiritual intelligence, which has turned into a half-human body and cultivated into a spiritual realm, was beaten to death by Mo Zhiyao alive, and the three people watching the battle on the opposite side were shocked in their hearts can be imagined.
The deepest feeling is Jun Ziqian. Because the strength of this red-tailed scorpion demon is a little higher than that blue-eyed color-winged lizard back then. Back then, he and Mo Zhiyao teamed up, and they also ended up with a miserable end when they were seriously injured and Mo Zhiyao fell into the cliff. Unexpectedly, it has only been a year, and Mo Zhiyao's strength has skyrocketed to this point, completely crushing all the way, which makes Jun Ziqian couldn't help but be shocked.
As for Yu Yao, who saw Mo Zhiyao's move for the first time, he could be regarded as having a preliminary understanding in his heart.
"Let's go. Mo Zhiyao turned around and continued to move forward, as if he had done a trivial matter. Jun Ziqian glanced at each other, and then hurriedly followed.
