Chapter 63: Dark Forest
There were only two days left before the dark forest trial. Xiao Chen still did not go out. During the day, he continued to comprehend what he had learned during the battle with Zhang He that day, and practiced the Purple Thunder at night.
Xiao Chen felt that he had touched a little bit of the edge of the Dou Sheng's Origin, but after he came back, he wanted to use the double-flying wings again, but he failed several times.
Xiao Chen pondered hard, one of the reasons why he was able to fly on the wings smoothly that day was that he was hit by the bright moon like fire with that move, and he was in a desperate situation, which stimulated his own potential.
Another reason may be that after taking Yuanyuan Dan, his strength has been greatly improved, and his realm is much stronger than it is now.
No matter what the reason is, Xiao Chen is full of expectations for the trial in the dark forest. Only in a dangerous place can he fall into a desperate situation and experience the essence of the source of the fighting saint between life and death.
Only through non-stop fighting can one's own strength be improved, and it is obviously not a good idea to work behind closed doors.
Two days later, the trial was held as scheduled. Under the leadership of the Great Elder, Xiao Chen followed the crowd and rushed to the square in the city, where he would meet with the rest of the three major families.
Then, under the leadership of the city lord of Mohe City, he rushed to the edge of the dark forest to start the trial.
There are ten people in the Xiao family participating in the trial this time, and all of them have at least the cultivation of high-grade warriors. people.
When they arrived at the square, the people from the Tang and Zhang families had already arrived, and the eyes from both sides were very bad. Recently, both of them have suffered losses in the hands of the Xiao family, and the old and new hatreds have been added together, and I can't wait to fight now.
On the stone platform in the center of the square, the Lord of the City has not yet appeared. Xiao Chen and Xiao Yulan are chatting casually, but they are not bored. It is just that the cast of the City Lord is really big.
"You are Xiao Chen."
While the two were chatting, someone suddenly came over from the side. Xiao Yulan was facing that person, her face was frowning, and she whispered, "It's from the Tang family."
Xiao Chen's consciousness had already seen the appearance of this person, and he was not surprised. He turned around and said with a smile: "It's right here, I don't know what brother Tang Feng is looking for."
Tang Feng felt a little strange when he heard Xiao Chen call his name, his expression changed slightly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, brother Xiao's name is known to everyone in Mohe City recently, I just want to come over and make friends. some time."
Xiao Yulan sneered behind her and said, "Make friends, your elder brother Tang Yuan died on our Qijiao Mountain. If you don't seek revenge on us, are you still here to make friends?"
After listening to Tang Feng, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he said: "This guy has always been against me, but now he died at the hands of Brother Xiao, he really deserved it. I thank Brother Xiao and it's almost the same, how can I think of revenge."
Tang Feng was astonished. For the position of the head of the family, brothers fought each other since ancient times, so it is not surprising. It's just that in the Linlang Pavilion, Xiao Chen already knew what kind of character this person was, so how could he believe his side words.
Xiao Jian next to him, when he heard Tang Feng's words, his face changed slightly, and he didn't know what to think.
Xiao Chen walked up to Tang Feng and whispered in his ear, "The lower-level spirit stone in Linlang Pavilion was bought by me. Do you still want to befriend me?"
Tang Feng's face changed greatly, the previous smile disappeared, and he said with a gloomy face: "Three times I have bad things for me, so you did it, don't be complacent, you'd better not go in the dark forest, don't go if you go. figured it out."
Shaking his sleeves, he snorted coldly, and Tang Li left without turning back.
Xiao Chen had a bad premonition in his heart. Tang Feng said so, is there a mortal situation waiting for me in this dark forest?
"Cousin Xiao Chen, what did you just say to that person that made him look so ugly?" Xiao Yulan asked curiously. Not only him, but other Xiao family members also looked at him curiously.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I told him that it's hard to be rude when you come out and talk to someone without wiping your eyes off.
"
When everyone heard this, they all laughed, but Xiao Chen left a shadow in his heart, and he couldn't let go, but this dark forest had to go, there was really no other way.
No matter, the soldiers will come to block, who will cover the ground, and thinking about it now will only add to the troubles, Xiao Chen comforted himself in his heart.
At this time, the crowd suddenly became noisy, Xiao Chen looked up, and it was indeed the Lord of the City Lord Dugufeng who had finally arrived. This person with the greatest strength in Mohe City, Xiao Chen was also a little curious in his heart.
I couldn't help being a little surprised. If I wanted to come to the Lord of a city, the cultivation base would be amazing, but I didn't expect it to reach this point, and even he couldn't see it through.
The city lord encouraged everyone a few words, but didn't say much, and gave orders to the people behind him. A few small black dots flew in the sky, and the black dots got closer and closer, and it was clear that they were giant flying spirit beasts - batman.
This is a mutant bird of a bat, with no feathers on its body and smooth black flesh. The body is huge, and its wings are spread out, and it is dozens of meters long.
When it stopped, there was a huge whirlwind blowing on the ground, and a burst of flying sand and rocks made people unable to open their eyes.
Everyone followed Xiao Qiang towards one of the bat curtains, all with excited expressions on their faces. This group of people had never seen flying birds and beasts before, and they could not help but feel excited when they had the opportunity to take a ride.
Even Xiao Chen can use the gravity technique to fly slowly, but he is full of expectations for the bat mantle. Walking on a bird will definitely have a different experience.
After the wings of the batman were unfolded, the torso and the wings were connected together, like a huge platform. Under the signal of the driver of the batman, everyone took off their shoes and socks and went up barefoot.
Standing barefoot on the body of the batman, Xiao Chen actually felt a slight suction, and firmly fixed his feet on it. When I wanted to lift my feet, I took a few steps forward very easily, almost as steady as the ground.
Xiao Chen was surprised, no wonder there are so many flying spirit beasts, but the bat curtain is the most widely used. Although it is a bit ugly, it is indeed very stable.
With a cry, the bat mantle blew a hurricane, and took off in a swish. This bat mantle does not fly by the flapping of its wings, but by the controlled airflow, which is extremely fast.
The crowd in Mohe City below became smaller and smaller in the eyes of everyone, until it finally turned into a black spot and disappeared completely. The wind whistled in the ears, but the bursts of suction from the soles of the feet made everyone not panic, and the smiles on their faces had not disappeared.
The dark forest is located in a remote location, and it is quite a distance from Mohe City. Even though it might take two hours to ride this bat mantle, Xiao Chen didn't want to waste time, so he sat cross-legged and started to practice.
Xiao Qiang's face flashed a hint of relief, so diligent, not arrogant or impetuous, and with the help of Lei Di's inheritance, he will definitely make a difference in the future.
Under the influence of Xiao Chen, the excitement on their faces gradually subsided, and they sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
boom!
After flying for a long time, the batman finally stopped, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, put on his shoes and socks, and jumped down gently.
Looking at the gray forest in front of me, I muttered in my heart, this is the dark forest, I don't know what kind of surprise it will bring me.
At this moment, Xiao Chen felt a look coming towards him with a strong killing intent, and following the killing intent, Xiao Chen saw that the person was the head of the Zhang family.
He didn't have the slightest intention to hide it, his eyes were full of deep hatred, and killing intent rushed towards Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen was not afraid, grinned, and didn't care.
"Elder Xiao, is this the person your Xiao family sent?" The city lord of Mohe City walked over with four old men in gray robes.
Xiao Qiang nodded, and showed the city lord the appearance of the ten people one by one. Until Xiao Chen, at the request of the city lord, Xiao Qiang focused on introducing them.
"Elder Xiao, it's not your first time here. You should be clear about the rules."
Xiao Qiang nodded and said: "The ten people with whom the highest cultivation base is only a mid-level martial artist, and the oldest one is eighteen years old, the Dugu City Lord can check carefully.
In this dark forest trial, the participants should not be more than a martial artist, and their age should not exceed 20. Once they exceed the requirements, they will be brushed off.
Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect to have such a request. If there was no Great Martial Master, even if Zhang and Tang teamed up to deal with him, he would not have the slightest fear.
When Dugufeng and the others left, Xiao Qiang faced the crowd with a serious expression, and said, "I don't want to say more about the dangers of the dark forest, you should all know that no matter what festivals you have in your group, you will be there when you come inside. Let me go."
"This trip is full of difficulties. Xiao Chen will be your captain. His words are mine."
When everyone below heard this, their eyes showed surprise, but they were relieved immediately. With Xiao Chen's current strength, there is nothing wrong with being the captain.
Xiao Qiang waved his hand, but did not let Xiao Chen speak, "You don't have to refuse, I haven't told you about your mission, lead this group of people to live, hunt down a hundred second-order monster cores, even if it is completed. mission."
Xiao Chen felt a little helpless in his heart, but the big elder had already made up his mind, and there was no room for others to refute, so he could only take on this drudgery.
Half an hour later, after everyone made all the preparations, they slowly walked towards the dark forest under the leadership of Xiao Chen. They could see the other two teams also set off at this time.
"It's so cold!"
The moment they stepped into the forest, everyone felt a cool breeze, and the soil on the ground was actually pure black, making people feel their scalps tingling.
Looking up, the towering and dense branches and leaves completely blocked the sunlight, and the forest was dark.
Everyone's field of vision was greatly hindered. Xiao Chen looked forward, and the black mist filled the air, and he couldn't see clearly at all.
Distributing the consciousness, Xiao Chen's consciousness could only be distributed to the surrounding 200 meters under the obstruction of an unknown force.
Xiao Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect such a situation to happen again, but this time was definitely not the time to complain. Xiao Chen took out the map the Great Elder gave him, looked at it, and led the crowd forward.
Twenty minutes later, there was still no change in the scene in front of everyone, and finally someone couldn't help complaining: "Xiao Chen, what road did you take? After walking for so long, why didn't you even see the shadow of the monster? When will the task of two hundred demon cores continue like this?"
Xiao Chen felt a little helpless. He didn't arrive for half an hour, and some people couldn't stand the loneliness. This captain's errand was really difficult.
"You want to meet monsters so much, aren't you afraid of being eaten by monsters?" Someone next to me said jokingly.
"Just kidding, I'm here to kill monsters, not to feed monsters, how is that possible." The man said loudly.
Xiao Chen didn't want to pay attention, but at this moment a dangerous breath came, and he quickly said loudly: "There is danger, everyone be careful."
The others immediately became vigilant when they heard it. The person who spoke first looked around but found nothing, and said impatiently, "Danger, where is the danger you said, why didn't I see it."
Pfft!
Right above the man's head, others saw an extremely terrifying scene, a huge red tongue that fell from the sky and rolled up the man instantly.
