"Things are really getting more and more interesting."
Looking at the Jade Dragon walking towards the ring, Jia Qing's lips curved into a cold arc, full of sarcasm.
Not to mention among all the trialists, even within the three major sects, the Jade Dragon has quite a reputation, and its strength is comparable to that of some outer sect disciples.
Hence, as long as he takes action personally, even if Fang Chen has the means to reach the sky, he will be doomed today.
Fang Wei rubbed her fingers anxiously, but there was nothing she could do.
"Bah!"
Chi Ling'er couldn't help but curse: "Will the majestic Jade Dragon only take advantage of others' danger?"
Ye Ling didn't say anything, but took a step forward and stood in front of the ring, trying to block the way of the Jade Dragon.
Lan Yunfei and everyone else squinted at this scene, indifferent.
Only Molin licked his lips, looking eager to try.
Looking at the expressionless Ye Ling and the angry Chi Ling'er, the corners of Jade Dragon's mouth slightly curled up, and a disdainful snort came from his nose.
His clothes are as white as snow and as gentle as jade. He has his hands behind his back and a pair of deep eyes, quietly looking at Fang Chen on the stage.
"I said, if you can live to the end, I will kill you myself."
Jade Dragon smiled: "But not now."
Many people were a little confused about what Jade Dragon said.
But only a few people seemed to have noticed something. They subconsciously raised their heads and looked up, and their pupils all shrank.
Because, above the sky, a huge ghost face actually appeared at this time.
This grimace is opening its mouth wide and sucking hard at the mountains below.
In an instant, sand and rocks were flying, and winds and clouds were surging.
While everyone was exclaiming, illusory figures flew up from all over the mountains and were sucked into the mouth by the ghost face.
Many people recognized that those illusory figures were the souls of the testers who died in the past two days.
Fang Chen watched as the souls of Di Yun and Shi Bin slowly floated up into the air and penetrated into Ghost Face's mouth.
At the same time, traces of blood-red blood formed streams, gathering from all directions on the ground and seeping under the ring.
"Rumble!"
The next moment, the ground shook, and dull sounds continued to be heard.
Everyone felt that their bodies were shaking and they were unsteady on their feet.
「Look!」
Someone exclaimed and pointed to the third arena.
Everyone looked at the sound, their faces suddenly changed wildly, and they all backed away.
Because the third arena suddenly collapsed and fell into a deep pit.
This deep pit is getting wider and wider, spreading in all directions.
Everyone was struck by lightning. Only those far away reacted quickly enough and fled further away.
But the trialists in the center of the deep pit could only scream in surprise and fell into the bottomless pit together.
"Not good!"
The moment the arena collapsed, Fang Chen instantly realized something was wrong.
He tapped his toes, and his figure was like a ghost, rushing towards Chi Ling'er and Ye Ling, intending to take them away.
But he ignored the jade dragon nearest to him.
"Fang Chen, the real show has just begun, why bother to leave in a hurry?"
Jade Dragon chuckled lightly and clapped it out with his palms.
In an instant, Fang Chen felt that the surrounding space was blocked by an invisible force, and he felt like he had nowhere to escape.
If you try hard, you may even be attacked by the jade dragon like a storm.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Chen made the most appropriate response.
He forcibly stabilized his body, and even took two steps back in an abnormal posture. The spiritual power in his body circulated, and the extreme shadow body method was activated, and he broke through to the right.
Fang Chen's speed, reaction, and timing can be said to be extremely good. However, what Fang Chen never expected was that the boulder under his feet fell powerlessly.
Fang Chen also fell into it.
When he fell into darkness, Fang Chen could only see that everything around him had collapsed, and boulders weighing hundreds of kilograms were also falling.
Fang Chen’s face was cold and he used his legs to jump towards a boulder above. He repeated this process until the entrance of the cave was right in front of him.
Just when Fang Chen was about to jump out of the hole, a scorching temperature suddenly came from his chest, almost burning his skin through his clothes.
It’s that silver scale!
Fang Chen suddenly remembered that the man in black robe asked him to help find something last night...
So, that thing is down here?
Fang Chen's eyes lit up and he made an instant decision.
He squatted down and pressed his body as close as possible to the boulder under him. He looked around with vigilant eyes while avoiding the boulder falling from above.
All around, there is a heavy darkness.
At the same time, there were other testers, screaming in helplessness and terror.
Fang Chen did not panic, but pondered this "accident" with a calm face.
Such a strange change was obviously man-made and not an accident.
The soul that was sucked away, the blood that gathered into the stream, all revealed something strange.
And...
He reached out and took out a silver scale. The scale was as hot as charcoal. In the falling darkness, it emitted a dazzling silver light, which happened to cover Fang Chen's body.
"Sure enough, this place is indeed related to what the three major sects are looking for."
Licking his lips, Fang Chen's eyes flashed with fire.
The three major sects have worked hard to open this place.
The man in black robe seemed to be cooperating with him, but in fact he was threatening and forcing him.
It is even possible that the other party has left some back-up on him. No matter what the purpose is, Fang Chen has to investigate.
Furthermore, he was really curious about what was the treasure that could make the three major sects so obsessed with harming so many warriors.
Even though Fang Chen was physically strong, he could not help but feel severe pain in his internal organs due to the force of the counter-shock.
He did not stand up immediately, but squatted on the spot and looked around cautiously.
At this time, he was in an underground cave, with dim light and cold breath.
Some of the trialists who survived the catastrophe rushed around to find a way out the moment they landed.
But there are also some unlucky ones who have been buried under these ruins forever.
Fang Chen had no unnecessary emotions about this.
He stood up slowly, holding the silver scales, and walked in a certain direction.
The cave seems to be very large. There is deep darkness above the head, and there is no light at all. It is obviously far away from the ground.
With the help of the dim light, Fang Chen could vaguely see a few remaining ravines on the ground, which were filled with dried dark brown material.
Fang Chen knew that it was dried blood.
These ravines seem to be all over the entire cave?
For a moment, Fang Chen thought of the blood sacrifice formation he had discovered deep in the iron mine in the western suburbs. It was vaguely similar to the formation patterns under his feet.
While Fang Chen was carefully observing the formation patterns on the ground, a strong wind suddenly hit him and went straight to Fang Chen's back.
Fang Chen didn't even look back, and didn't even make a dodge move.
A clear voice sounded, and a tall dark golden puppet was seen standing behind Fang Chen, blocking an incoming hidden weapon.
At the same time, the puppet kicked out, and a boulder weighing hundreds of kilograms shot out and crashed into the darkness.
Perhaps it was for the sake of gaining points for himself, or for other reasons, that the other party made a sneak attack on him.
But it doesn’t matter anymore.
With the protection of the black gold puppet, Fang Chen felt more confident and quickly searched the cave.
If his guess is true, then the most dangerous thing in this underground cave is not other trialists, but...
"We are so unlucky, we fell into this ghost place!"
From a distance, there was a sound of curses.
Fang Chen frowned and took the black gold puppet with him, hiding behind a stone pillar.
Not far away, three figures walked over cautiously.
A disciple of Guyue Sect?
The man in the middle is none other than Jia Qing of Guyue Sect.
Fang Chen raised his eyebrows, not expecting to meet them here.
The corners of his mouth curved into a cold arc.
Jia Qing has targeted Fang Chen many times. Now that he meets him here, Fang Chen will not let him have an easy time.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen did not show up immediately, but hid in the dark and waited quietly.
"Say less, the first priority is to find an exit and leave."
Even though he was in a strange place, Jia Qing was still calm enough and did not panic.
"Senior brother, tell me, could this be the treasure hiding place that Elder Jia and others mentioned?"
One of them spoke cautiously, with excitement in his eyes.
"You mean..."
Jia Qing's eyes moved.
"Yes, senior brother."
Another person said: "I heard that the leader of this trial is to find a treasure for our three families. Senior brother, you are the grandson of Elder Jia. You should know what the treasure is, right?"
I know shit!
Jia Qing complained in his heart, but with a faint smile on his face, he said: "How could grandpa tell me such a thing."
He actually felt weird.
The three major sects will not hesitate to go to such trouble to set up the trial site here, and the person who finds the treasure will be designated as the leader of this trial.
It is completely different from the previous method of selecting disciples.
It's just that the matter has nothing to do with him, and Jia Qing is too lazy to think about it.
"Brother, you said, if we get that treasure in advance..."
Someone whispered: "Hey, don't the guys who participated in the assessment this time have no leaders?"
"This master "Good intentions!"
The other person's eyes lit up, and he said in a wicked tone: "Every time the leader is tested, he will receive a generous reward. Are you really willing to do so, Brother Jia?"
Hhearing this, Jia Qing suddenly fell into silence.
But everyone could see that he was obviously a little moved.
He glanced at the two people around him, raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "It sounds good, let's just play with them."
Seeing Jia Qing agree, the other two people were a little excited, and then began to search around.
What the three of them didn't know was that all their conversations were listened to by Fang Chen who was hiding in the dark.
"It's really interesting."
Fang Chen felt a little funny in his heart.
As the disciple of the sect who is in charge of the assessment, he secretly wants to interfere in this trial. This is simply a joke.
However, this made Fang Chen change his mind.
He followed the three of them cautiously without making any movement.
Jia Qing and the others relied on their strong cultivation and did not hide their figures deliberately, so they started searching vigorously.
Just a cup of tea passed by, but nothing was found.
"Did we guess wrong?"
One of them said: "This is not a treasure trove, it's just an underground cave that accidentally opened up?"
"I don't think so."
Another said: "Have you forgotten the ghostly face in the sky before we fell here?"
Thinking of the terrifying scene before, even Jia Qing fell silent.
"Let's look for it again."
Jia Qing said: "Of course, the main thing is to protect yourself and try not to conflict with the other two sects."
Among the three major sects, Guyue Sect can only be ranked second, firmly beating Qixia Valley, but compared with Yin Yang Sect, it is not at the same level at all.
There have always been constant conflicts and competition between the three companies.
On the surface, things are fine, but secretly, it is normal for disciples from three families to meet and kill each other.
"Understood!"
The other two people also had serious faces.
"Kaka, kaka."
At this moment, a strange sound came from the darkness, making the three of them look stern and look into the darkness warily.
"Who, get out of here!"
"Stop pretending, get out immediately!"
Jia Qing's two junior brothers shouted coldly together, but they didn't have much fear.
There was no response, just the same weird clicking sound as always.
"Something's wrong!"
Jia Qing took a step back without a trace, looking hard into the darkness with his cold eyes.
There seemed to be something, stepping on the gravel, walking heavily step by step, and the cold atmosphere seemed to be getting stronger.
"No, let's go quickly!"
Jia Qing's pupils shrank suddenly, turned around and ran away.
His speed was extremely fast, and the two junior disciples were left behind him in an instant.
The other two people reacted a step slower, so they could clearly see the figure walking out of the darkness.
It was a body with shriveled flesh and blood, like a walking corpse, with empty eye sockets, and only two grains of rice-like firelight flickering.
The two of them looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Run!"
The aura on this walking corpse did not seem to be strong and was only equivalent to the Tongmai realm. However, the walking corpse has always been a warrior who is in some special place after his death. His resentment has not dissipated. He is invulnerable and extremely difficult to kill.
With the two of them's cultivation, if they get entangled, they will definitely be in big trouble.
What makes the two of them even more depressed is that no one knows how many zombies there are in this ghost place.
No wonder Jia Qing slipped away so fast!
The two were very fast and quickly left the walking corpse behind.
The walking corpse swayed, turned around with difficulty, and walked towards the darkest part of the cave.
Fang Chen hesitated for a moment, then quietly followed the walking corpse.
The walking corpse in front of him was different from the one he saw in the mine. It seemed to be more intelligent and could be called a zombie.
Zhi Mei is not only stronger, but also more intelligent.
The only drawback is that it moves slowly.
It can turn a trialist into a corpse demon in a short period of time, which completely proves the extraordinaryness of this place, and makes Fang Chen curious about what is hidden here.
Zi Mei seemed to have not noticed Fang Chen, controlling his stiff body and walking towards a darker place, with only two will-o'-wisps flickering faintly.
"Kaka, kaka!"
Hence, there were more and more clicking sounds around him before he walked far. Fang Chen turned his head to look, and his scalp felt numb for a moment.
There were hundreds of zombies in front of us.
And they are walking in one direction.
More than half an hour later, Fang Chen followed these zombies and came to an empty cave.
In the center of the cave, there is a stone tablet.
The stone tablet has no words, but in the middle of the cave, there are countless corpses that have turned into bones hanging upside down.
Surrounding the stone tablet, there are strange lines filled with rich blood.
At this moment, several figures were sitting around.
Jade Dragon is one of them!
