Thousands of contestants followed Chen Fengchen and the crippled old man to the second examination venue.
In the depths of the island, there were two mutated Demon Emperor corpses sealed!
They advanced all the way.
The deeper they went into the island, the heavier the inexplicable sense of danger and oppression.
It was almost suffocating.
When they were about five kilometers away from the corpses, there were no longer any signs of living beings. Everywhere was filled with brown, rugged rocks.
There was a thin mist that lingered like a veil. The mist was deathly still, making one's heart tremble.
It made one feel as if they were walking in the Doomsday Cemetery.
"Boss Xiao, do you think those cards are hidden well?
However, I feel that it should be very difficult to find them … "Fatty Zhu whispered into Xiao Han's ear.
"Fatty, if you think it's troublesome, you might as well just rob them," Xiao Han said with a smile.
"Hehe … Boss Xiao, you're joking again." Fatty Zhu trembled, but his eyes clearly revealed an imperceptible hint of emotion.
"Are we really going to rob them?"
"Heh …" Xiao Han smiled noncommittally.
Then, he said indifferently.
"I hope Li Ziqi can find the card."
"Huh?
Why? "Fatty Zhu blurted out.
"Rob.
Kill and rob.
This guy actually dared to sneak attack me. If he falls into my hands, I'll torture him to death! "Xiao Han said seriously.
…
Finally, everyone arrived at the entrance of a valley.
At the entrance of the valley stood a black stone tablet that was about ten feet tall!
The stone tablet was extremely ancient and crude. It was engraved with a picture of a group of humans fighting to the death with two creatures with flesh wings. Every stroke was terrifying and emitted a fierce murderous aura.
It made people not dare to look at it for too long. If they looked at it for too long, their minds would hallucinate and fall into the ancient times, where a group of demons besieged two mutated Demon Emperors.
Crimson clouds exploded, lightning struck the nine heavens, the destruction of the ancient times, the collapse of the sun and moon, the rolling of runes, the bursts of demonic sounds … All sorts of illusions were enough to make people fall into madness.
Shao Yunrong, who was standing beside Xiao Han, had a lower cultivation realm. She only stared at the stone tablet for a while before her blood and Qi churned. Her true qi almost went berserk and she vomited blood.
Sword light flashed in Shao Yunrong's eyes, and she forcefully cut off the negative emotions that invaded her mind. Only then did she calm down a little, but she didn't dare to look at the stone tablet again.
Apart from this, the stone tablet was covered in seals that released streaks of light, forming a glazed screen of light. Symbols interweaved, the 'treasure' character flickering, surrounding the entire valley.
Streams of faint Demonic Qi and Demonic Talismans crashed against the light barrier, stirring up waves of ripples, but they were unable to break through.
Looking at the inside of the valley, it was actually dusky, as if chaos had just been born. It was completely incompatible with the clear sky outside the valley.
It seemed to be an independent plane, yet it also seemed like the Asura Hell. It was filled with an extremely evil demonic aura. The demonic sounds were bleak, and a wave of war intent and resentment seeped out. It seemed to be an ancient battlefield, and one could even faintly hear miserable cries.
There was also the sound of the collision between the True Qi Divine Art and the Demon Art that could destroy heaven and earth.
This was sex!
It was also the core battlefield where the Chivalrous Heroes fought against the two mutated Demon Emperors!
Stone Stele Suppressing Demonic Qi!
"The examination venue is just ahead. You can enter in batches. The entrance to the valley is narrow, so it won't allow you to swarm in," Chen Fading Wind said with a strange smile.
"Alright, the second round of the examination begins. Kids, go in and look for the cards.
I'll remind you one last time, don't be greedy, and don't get too close to the place where the bodies of the two mutated Demon Emperors are placed. The Demonic Qi there is likely to directly crush your souls … Well, go in!
The examination begins! "
At this moment, suddenly, a dignified and handsome young man stepped out. His clothes were as white as snow, and he looked lonely and depressed. His whole body was bathed in a layer of primal chaos paleo-qi, so people could not even see his True Qi cultivation base. Above his head, a huge shadow of an ancient god rushed out, holding a Heavenly Halberd. It pointed to the sky and stomped on the ground, destroying the universe.
This young man was from the Chivalrous Heroes Domain!
"Listen up, all of you. That red card belongs to the contestants from the Chivalrous Heroes Domain. Anyone who dares to touch it will be killed without mercy!" After saying that, his body moved, and he directly jumped into the valley.
As soon as he entered the valley, his whole body seemed to be swallowed by the dusky Demonic Qi, and he disappeared without a trace.
"Humph!"
Another young man from the Chivalrous Heroes Domain glared at the other contestants. His eyes were extremely noble, as if he was a noble in the secular world inspecting the local farmers in the countryside. He was full of superiority and said indifferently.
"Remember what my senior brother just said. The most precious red card is not something that you people can touch. It must belong to the contestants from the Chivalrous Heroes Domain.
There is no doubt about that. "After saying that, he also entered the valley.
The first batch to enter the valley was the 100 contestants selected by the Chivalrous Heroes Domain.
"Damn it … The young generation from the Chivalrous Heroes Domain seems to be born to be superior to others. They are too strong. They are nothing!"
"There are only 100 people from the Chivalrous Heroes Domain, and we have thousands of people in the Great Wilderness. If they really fight, they will die without a burial place!"
"Let's go, let's enter the valley quickly, or the contestants from the Chivalrous Heroes Domain will get the card first!"
…
Groups of contestants rushed into the valley, trying to outdo each other.
…
"Boss Xiao, the contestants from the Chivalrous Heroes Domain are too arrogant. They actually want to directly take the only red card for themselves.
What a big appetite.
It seems that whoever dares to compete with them will violate the law and will be executed. "Fatty Zhu's face was full of resentment.
Xiao Han was a little absent-minded.
At this moment, standing at the entrance of the valley, the demon egg in Xiao Han's heart and the Demon Thearch's palm tattoo on his left arm actually started to throb slightly, transmitting some information to Xiao Han.
"It can't be?
The demon egg and the Demon Thearch's palm tattoo actually have a reaction … Could it be that there are still living demon creatures in this valley?
This is strange … "Xiao Han was stunned.
"Let's go, Xiao Han. We should also enter." Mo Qingtong's voice immediately woke Xiao Han up from his deep thoughts.
"En …" Xiao Han nodded.
"Everyone, walk together. It is very dangerous inside. Don't get separated."
Xiao Han and his companions also entered the valley. Their figures were instantly engulfed by the gray demon aura in the valley.
"Keep an eye on those dregs." A group of men and women from the Great Wilderness rushed up from behind.
The leader was Wan Yangu, and beside him was the bald Ada.
"Meng Tari, you are in charge of tracking their aura."
Wan Yangu waved his hand. A short man from the Great Wilderness with a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks walked up from behind. He had a strange appearance, and his nose was very sharp and long.
The short man twitched his nose a few times and nodded slightly.
"Wan Yangu, I have caught the aura of those fools. They can't escape!"
"Alright!
We will follow behind that group of dregs. How about this … we will play with them first. If they find the card, we will snatch it. We will torture the two men to death, and we will enjoy the three women in turns. We can tame them into female slaves. "Wan Yangu sneered continuously. His pale golden eyes flashed with the shadow of a six-armed barbaric dragon.
"We must capture that young man who talked back and insulted us. We must crush every single one of his bones, dig out his heart and lungs, and eat them raw. Only then can we vent our hatred." The bald Ada stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
"Let's go!"
Under Wan Yangu's command, a group of men and women from the Great Wilderness rushed into the valley. The long-nosed 'Meng Tari' was like the fiercest and most sensitive hunting dog. He kept twitching his nose and sniffing in all directions.
"Cheng Feng, let's follow them."
Li Ziqi also took a step forward. "That Xiao Han has many trump cards. If we kill him, we might be able to get some unexpected treasures from his true acupoints."
"That's what I was thinking.
It's best if Xiao Han and Wan Yangu fight it out with each other. Both sides will be injured, and we will reap the benefits. Hahaha … let's go. "Cheng Feng laughed sinisterly.
The two of them led dozens of followers into the valley.
Soon, all the participants entered the valley filled with demonic aura.
"Hehe …" Chen Fading Wind crossed his arms and remained calm.
"I say, Chen Fading Wind, tell me, how many cards did you hide in the valley?" Crippled Old Man came over and asked.
"Five thousand.
Not one more, not one less, "Chen Fading Wind said innocently.
"Why, Crippled Old Man, are you doubting my character?"
"You've lost your character a long time ago.
Alright, do you think I don't know your character?
Tell me the truth, how many cards did you put in? "Crippled Old Man snorted.
"Hahahahaha ~ ~ ~" Chen Fading Wind laughed loudly. "En, Crippled Old Man, you really know me well. Alright, alright, I'll tell you the truth. I don't have five thousand cards. I only put in four thousand."
"Tsk tsk … ruthless, you're too ruthless. In other words, only four thousand people can enter the third round …" Crippled Old Man clicked his tongue.
"You tricked them with that red card, didn't you?"
"I do have the red card, but they won't be able to get it because … I put it on the bodies of two mutated Demon Emperors. Hahahaha …" Chen Fading Wind laughed happily.
"They won't be able to get close."
"Moreover, you hid one thing from them!" Crippled Old Man also laughed.
"In that valley, not only are there demonic plants irrigated by the ancient demonic blood, but there are also demonic beasts that have evolved after consuming the ancient demonic blood!
These demonic beasts are extremely terrifying. Like the demonic beasts, they can devour the brains of humans and transform into humans, inheriting the memories and thoughts of humans … These little guys are going to have a lot of fun.
I wonder how many of them will survive.
It's already a joyous occasion for four thousand people to pass the assessment and enter the third round. "
"But those who can survive will definitely be the elites of the elites.
In the future, when they grow up, they will be able to hold their own and kill the demonic beasts as if they were nothing! "Chen Fading Wind said with certainty.
"The difficulty of this selection is really too high. As the chief examiner, I'm very sure that the difficulty is far higher than any of the previous selections." Crippled Old Man sighed.
"What do you think of the quality of this batch of young people?"
"Overall, they're not bad," Chen Fading Wind said seriously.
"A portion of them are geniuses with limitless futures.
Heh … there are also a few interesting little guys who have the demonic beasts' techniques. "
"En, I noticed that too. Moreover, there's more than one little guy who has the demonic beasts' techniques." Crippled Old Man nodded.
"But that's nothing. You, Chen Fading Wind, have mastered a demonic beasts' technique.
That's what you comprehended after drinking demonic blood for a long period of time, right?
Tsk tsk, you big pervert … "
… …..
Demonic Hero Tower.
Level 29.
In a spotless hall.
"So the second examination area is that legendary chamber."
Crow Old Man frowned deeply. "I've heard that in ancient times, a group of demonic heroes killed two mutated Demon Emperors. Moreover, the corpses of the two mutated Demon Emperors, along with the battlefield, were moved to the Demonic Hero Domain.
Now, if I'm not wrong, that island is that ancient battlefield.
The stone tablet sealed the corpses of the two mutated Demon Emperors.
It's an extremely dangerous demonic domain. "
"Brother Crow, look. Chen Fading Wind and Crippled Old Man are whispering to each other. The two of them seem to have ulterior motives. They're both old antiques with a belly full of evil tricks. I'm afraid that thousands of participants will die in the second round."
Heavenly Devil Old Man stared at the image in the gem and saw Chen Fading Wind and Crippled Old Man talking with their arms around each other's shoulders.
However, he couldn't hear what they were talking about.
"There doesn't seem to be any Demon Eye Stones in that chamber filled with demonic aura. That's why we can't see the specific image of the second round … I hope that Junior Brother Xiao Han and Junior Sister Huo Yang can turn misfortune into fortune and pass the second round." Xiao Mingchu's face was full of worry.
… …..
Inside the chamber!
As soon as Xiao Han and the others entered the chamber, they were obscured by the gray demonic aura. The visibility around them was extremely low!
Moreover, once they entered the chamber, they felt that the space inside was extremely huge. It was as if there was no end to it. The thick demonic aura formed a huge obstacle that almost froze the space, making it difficult for people to walk freely inside. In the depths of the space, faint roars and demonic roars could be heard. The demonic sounds seeped into people's minds, making them feel very uncomfortable.
"Oh no!
Xiao Han, in this chamber, I'm being disturbed by the demonic aura. The circulation of my True Qi has slowed down a lot, "Mo Qingtong said in surprise.
Fatty Zhu, Huo Yang, and Shao Yunrong also cried out in fear. "Our combat strength can't be fully used in this place. It's being restricted."
"Yes, I feel it too. I can only use seventy to eighty percent of my combat strength.
Moreover, not only is my True Qi stagnant and obstructed, even my flesh shell can't be used to its fullest. "Xiao Han also felt it.
He activated the Indestructible Golden Body and golden light shot out in all directions. However, this golden light was constantly distorted and corroded in the demonic aura. Even his flesh shell was suppressed a little.
"Where are the other contestants who entered this place?
Why isn't there a single person? "Fatty Zhu looked around.
Xiao Han threw out a punch, and it hit the air. Hazy mist flew everywhere, and suddenly, the entire space caved in slightly. The sound of metal clashing could be heard, and it sounded like a great bell.
"How strange … Everyone, don't worry about the others. Let's look around and see if we can find a crystal card."
"It's really difficult. The visibility here is only a few meters. Beyond a few meters, it's dusky and can't be seen …" Mo Qingtong said nervously.
"Everyone, pay attention to your defense. In this kind of environment, it's easy to be sneak attacked."
"The demonic aura is too gloomy. It's more or less affecting our thoughts and souls."
Huo Wu exclaimed. Immediately, she released all her True Qi and raised her right hand. A small mountain of True Qi rolled out and crushed the nearby demonic aura. All of a sudden, the visibility increased greatly, allowing everyone to see the scene within a radius of tens of meters.
There were many demonic black plants, flowers, and trees. In addition, there were some ancient ruins, showing the scene of ruins.
"I saw a black forest twenty meters away, and there seemed to be strange eyes growing on the leaves!
It's so scary. Look! "Shao Yunrong pointed.
Sure enough, in front of them, there was a black forest that was about ten feet tall. The trees were very strange. There were some black leaves that looked like banana leaves on the branches. The leaves were inlaid with strange eyes that seemed to be blinking.
"I can't release my True Qi for a long time. It's extremely exhausting." Huo Wu's face turned slightly pale as he quickly withdrew the True Qi mountain.
The demonic aura surged, causing their visibility to decrease once again.
"Everyone, don't waste your energy casually. Let's take a step at a time. Let's go and take a look at that black forest." Xiao Han slowly walked through the surging gray demonic aura.
"It's not so easy to find the crystal card …"
At this moment, the dormant demon egg in Xiao Han's heart and the tattoo of the Demon God's palm on his left arm unexpectedly sent a happy message at the same time.
It was as if entering this environment, there was a feeling of a dragon returning to the sea, like a fish in water!
Xiao Han's left arm flashed with a faint demonic light!
The demonic aura here could no longer bring any discomfort to Xiao Han!
"Huh?
I've adapted to this dangerous environment? "Xiao Han's heart stirred.
Then, he suddenly had a whim.
"Why don't I try to activate the Demon God's palm and take the initiative to absorb the ancient demonic aura here to see if I can gain something!"
