After Xiao Han finished discussing with his companions, they did not continue to venture deeper into the forbidden zone. Instead, they searched for crystal cards in the surroundings.
Along the way, all the Demon Plants and Demon Beasts that Xiao Han encountered became nourishment for the Demon Thearch tattoo on his left arm.
A few hours later, the Demon God's palm had already awakened a total of 900 demon veins!
Two Demon Emperor Crystals were embedded within, wrapped in an endless stream of beautiful demonic light. The ancient demonic symbols flickered, making the scene look dreamy and illusory.
"This place is truly my paradise …" Xiao Han sucked dry the blood of a mutated Demon Emperor and awakened another two Demon Veins. He couldn't help but take a deep breath. He was completely immersed in the wonderful state of awakening his Demon Veins. His left arm glowed with a demonic light, and he could feel his strength increasing bit by bit.
However, it was not enough. The demon meridians on the demon thearch's palm were as numerous as the capillaries in the human body. Awakening a mere few hundred was like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water.
Xiao Han couldn't help but sigh.
"If I could melt and absorb the corpses of the two mutated demon emperors, it would be so cool … Wait!
Why did I suddenly have such a bold idea? "
Even Xiao Han was shocked by this sudden thought!
Mutated Demon Emperors were the nobles of the demon race, and they were infinitely close to the emperor of the demon race. Sucking their corpses was a very crazy idea!
Xiao Han hurriedly suppressed this wild thought and wild hope, but in his heart, he was indeed beginning to stir.
Something was brewing in his eyes.
This forbidden zone was shrouded in a gray, deathly stillness and demonic aura. It was impossible to distinguish day and night. However, it was estimated that the participants had already been in the forbidden zone for a day and a night.
In other words, there were still two more days before the time to collect the crystal cards!
"I need to make the most of these two days. On the one hand, I need to find the red card. On the other hand, I need to gather as much Demonic Qi as I can in this forbidden region, and awaken as many Demonic veins as I can.
Xiao Han thought.
"Boss Xiao, we've also walked a big circle, but we actually couldn't find any more crystal cards." Fatty Zhu said.
"It seems that finding crystal cards also depends on luck."
"It's already been a day and a night. I'm afraid that many of the competitors have already found their crystal cards and returned to the main examiner to verify that they passed.
In other words, as time goes by, it will be more and more difficult for us to find crystal cards, "Mo Qingtong analyzed.
Fatty Zhu licked his lips. He looked honest, but his tone suddenly turned gloomy.
"Boss Xiao, why don't we just rob them?"
Right at this moment …
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, a bone-chilling sense of danger gripped Xiao Han in an instant!
Xiao Han was very familiar with this sense of danger. It was the same feeling he had when he was ambushed by Li Ziqi's flying dagger!
Like maggots on a bone!
A streak of dazzling rainbow light broke through the layers of demonic Qi!
It was a flying knife!
A three-inch throwing knife!
Li Ziqi's flying dagger!
This saber strike was very dazzling, and contained a demonic power that caused vortexes to appear wherever the saber light passed. Light was distorted, and it could kill and slay ghosts to the extreme!
Abruptly, a strange light flashed in Xiao Han's eyes. His entire body emitted a golden light, and his left arm glowed with a faint demonic light. His body also left a series of afterimages. Then, he let out a blood-curdling scream and fell backwards. That flying knife seemed to have pierced into Xiao Han's body!
"Ah!!
Li Ziqi!
You … you actually ambushed me … How … How hateful … "Xiao Han fell to the ground, his voice filled with pain and anger.
A strange look flashed across Mo Qingtong's eyes. She immediately pounced on Xiao Han and started shouting.
"Xiao Han!
Xiao Han, what's wrong!
You … don't scare us … Xiao Han! "Her voice was extremely miserable, and she was about to cry. It was completely heartbroken.
However, there was a cunning and mischievous glint in her eyes.
At this moment, Fatty Zhu, Shao Yunrong, and Huo Wu finally reacted.
"Oh no!
It's Li Ziqi's flying dagger!
He ambushed again!
How despicable, shameless, despicable … Boss Xiao, are … are you alright? "Fatty Zhu also rushed towards Xiao Han.
Shao Yunrong and Huo Wu's beautiful faces paled, and they were in a panic!
At this moment …
"Hahahahaha!
Xiao Han … aren't you quite arrogant?
Aren't you an invincible hero who dominates the younger generation of the Southern Region?
Hahahaha!
But today, you will die in my hands. "
Li Ziqi's maniacal laughter rang out.
In the next moment, Li Ziqi, Cheng Feng, and dozens of young men and women from the Southern Region pushed through the demonic fog and walked over.
Li Ziqi's face was pale, and he looked like he was exhausted.
However, his eyes were burning with excitement.
"Just now, it wasn't easy for me to catch your aura, Xiao Han. I looked for an opportunity along the way and then attacked with all my strength. This slash drained my essence, qi, spirit, and true qi, but it was a fatal slash.
This slash contained my original true qi. It doesn't feel good to have the blade qi invade your body, right?
Hahahaha!
You will definitely die this time. "
Cheng Feng crossed his arms and stood next to Li Ziqi, gloating.
He said indifferently.
"Miss Mo, Fatty Zhu, since Xiao Han is about to die, you don't have to hesitate anymore. Join our team.
This Devil Hero selection is extremely dangerous. If you work together, you will be strong. If you work separately, you will be weak. Xiao Han doesn't know how to appreciate favors. He deserves to die.
Alright, everyone's goal is the same, to become a Devil Hero. You don't have to avenge an idiot like Xiao Han. "
At this moment, Xiao Han was lying in Mo Qingtong's arms, his head resting on her thighs. Mo Qingtong's elegant virgin fragrance lingered in his nose …
"Oh … Brother Xiao, you look like you're enjoying it. Do you like how Qingtong treats you?" Mo Qingtong smiled at Xiao Han, who was pretending to be dead.
She had a strange look in her eyes.
"Uh … Miss Mo, I'm sorry," Xiao Han said embarrassedly.
Then, he threw away the flying knife in his hand and stood up.
There were no wounds on his body.
Obviously, he was not hit by the flying knife just now, but pretended to be injured!
Just a moment ago, Xiao Han used a bit of demonic energy and used Illusory Movement to dodge the saber …
"What?
Xiao Han, you, you cheated? "
Seeing Xiao Han stand up unscathed, the pride on Li Ziqi and Cheng Feng's faces suddenly died. Their expressions froze!
"If I didn't cheat, would you dare to show yourself?
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes. "Li Ziqi, your flying knife is indeed powerful. It's troublesome to let you hide in the dark for a long time and launch sneak attacks. It's better to take this opportunity to get rid of you … Irrelevant people, get out of here, I'm going to kill!
Get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise, I'll kill all of you! "
"This … this …" The group of young men and women following Li Ziqi and Cheng Feng were instantly terrified. They exchanged glances, and more than half of them immediately fled in the opposite direction, leaving only twenty or so people behind to stare fixedly at Xiao Han.
"Xiao Han … You're really cunning!
But … there's only five of you!
Fine, if we don't kill you, we won't be able to eat and sleep in peace. Take this opportunity, kill!
Cheng Feng, do it! "Li Ziqi's eyes burst with ruthlessness.
At this moment …
"Buzz ~ ~ ~ Buzz ~ ~"
Demonic light shone and demonic sound filled the air. Two ancient and mysterious demonic talismans appeared and shrouded Cheng Feng and Li Ziqi instantly!
Heavenly Demon God Seal!
"Bang!
Bang! "
Xiao Han's figure flashed and charged forward. With one punch each, he shattered their bodies into pieces and they couldn't be more dead!
At the same time, Mo Qingtong released the Heavenly Devil World and enveloped the twenty people who followed Li Ziqi and Cheng Feng!
The Heavenly Devil Force Field was released, light distorted and demonic sound seeped into the brain!
"!!!
Demon race!
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
You're all demons!
Die! "
In an instant, the twenty people became confused and hallucinated. They slashed at each other and after a few breaths, they left behind a pile of corpses.
"Bang!
Bang!
Bang! "
A large pile of items burst out from the corpses and spread out on the ground!
Among them, two crystal cards were shining brightly!
"There are two crystal cards!
Hahahaha!
They actually found two crystal cards! "Fatty Zhu laughed wretchedly and rushed forward to pick up the two crystal cards.
"Miss Mo, it's a pleasure working with you." Xiao Han grinned.
"Heh …" Mo Qingtong smiled charmingly. Her tone was as soft as cotton. "Brother Xiao, you have taken advantage of Qingtong just now … In the future, don't forget to leave Qingtong behind and leave …"
"Damn, Miss Mo must be joking." Xiao Han smiled awkwardly and thought to himself, I don't have a 'day', how can there be a 'future'?
Soon, everyone collected the top-grade true qi spirit stones and various items on the ground.
Fatty Zhu handed the two crystal cards to Xiao Han to deal with, acting like a lackey.
"Very good, there are two crystal cards here. In addition to the three we found earlier, there are a total of five crystal cards, just enough for the five of us to pass." Xiao Han smiled in satisfaction and handed one of the crystal cards to Mo Qingtong, keeping one for himself.
"I'll keep this crystal card for now.
Now, I'll accompany the four of you back. You guys pass first, I have to enter the depths of the forbidden area to take a look. "
"Okay." Mo Qingtong nodded, "Then Brother Xiao, let's not delay and return now."
"Let's go!"
Four hours later.
The five of them returned to the entrance of the forbidden area.
Outside, it was already early in the morning. The morning light was like a dream and the morning glow was like a poem.
Chen Shifeng and the crippled old man sat on the rock contentedly.
Outside the valley, there were thousands of contestants who had found their crystal cards and successfully passed.
"Oh?
Another five people came out.
In just one day, 129 contestants found their crystal cards and successfully passed. Not bad. "Chen Shifeng jumped off the rock and welcomed Xiao Han and the others.
"Little guys, congratulations on passing the second round!"
When he glanced at Xiao Han, his eyes suddenly froze and he blurted out, "Young man, what's your name?" His voice trembled slightly.
"Junior Xiao Han," Xiao Han answered casually, then motioned for Mo Qingtong, Fatty Zhu, and the others to quickly return their crystal cards and pass.
Yaoxia Pagoda.
Level 29.
In the hall.
A group of Yaoxia with strong auras was staring at the image on the gem.
"I see Junior Brother Xiao Han and the others!"
Xiao Mingchu stood up excitedly. "That's Junior Brother Xiao Han, Junior Sister Huo Yang, and Mo Qingtong."
"My fatty is out too!
Hahahaha! "Zhu Ganglie also laughed wildly.
"My fatty is pretty good, he also passed the second round!"
"En, not bad, not bad, all of them passed safely!" Heaven's Devil Old Man said with relief.
"Heh … Ever since this batch of contestants entered the restricted area, in just one day, 2139 names have dimmed. This is enough to show that the restricted area is treacherous and full of hidden dangers … Now that I see Xiao Han and the others can pass smoothly … En, not bad, not bad." Wu Yu also laughed.
However …
"What's going on?
Junior Brother Xiao Han returned to the restricted area alone! "Fang Ling and Dongfang Qin exclaimed at the same time.
"Mo Qingtong, Junior Sister Huo Yang, the woman from Mingjian Villa, and Little Fatty Zhu all left the restricted area and handed over their crystal cards to pass, but Junior Brother Xiao Han returned directly. What does this mean?" Fang Ling was shocked.
"Could it be that Xiao Han didn't find his crystal card?" Heaven's Devil Old Man was also bewildered.
In the valley outside the restricted area, Xiao Han watched his four companions pass and heaved a sigh of relief. He then returned to the restricted area without looking back and used his movement technique to fly away!
"Oh?" Chen Fading Wind was stunned and his eyes revealed a pondering expression.
"This little guy is really strange, he returned again."
Crippled Old Man blinked his eyes. "Oh right, Chen Fading Wind, why did you specifically ask for this youngster's name?"
Chen Fading Wind touched his nose.
"Xiao Han?
His name is Xiao Han … En, Crippled Old Man, pay attention to this youngster, he is very interesting.
Really very interesting. "
"Uh?
Very interesting, what do you mean?
What are you trying to say? "
"Hahahaha … This youngster is hiding a lot of secrets … Alright, Xiao Han!
I'll remember him!
Hahahaha!
I haven't seen such an interesting youngster for many years. "
