When he first entered the Road of Life and Death and saw those fragile human puppets, Wutan was somewhat unconcerned, thinking that they could not cause any actual harm to Han Tian and the other two.
But it is hard to imagine that the human puppets behind are getting stronger and stronger, and there are even intelligent human puppets.
This can no longer be measured by common sense.
He really regretted it. If he had known this would happen, he should have sent the three people to the Star Realm.
It's just too late to say anything now.
Seeing Wu Tian's expression constantly changing, the purple-clothed middle-aged man's eyes became more playful, and he said lightly: "Are you done asking questions? If you are, let's talk business."
"Business?"
Wu Tian was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Here are two things. Tell me which one you want to choose."
The middle-aged man did not make any movement, and four palm-sized jade plates appeared in the void in front of him. In one of the jade plates, there was a space bracelet, and the other jade plate was empty.
Wutan's gaze moved back and forth between the two jade plates, his eyes full of confusion.
The middle-aged man soon became impatient and urged, "Choose quickly."
Wu Tian said: "Can I ask first, what are the consequences of choosing these two?"
The middle-aged man said: "I will tell you the consequences later."
Wu Tian raised his eyebrows. It was really unpleasant to feel that his fate was controlled by others, but he had no choice now.
He scanned the two jade plates, then gritted his teeth and said, "I choose the empty jade plate."
After making his choice, he carefully observed the middle-aged man's expression.
However, he was disappointed in the end. The middle-aged man's face was still as playful as always, and nothing could be seen at all.
"Come on, let's continue with the second game."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he waved his hand lightly, and the space bracelet on the jade plate disappeared. It was replaced by a crystal as big as a baby's fist, which was fiery red, shining with dazzling brilliance and scorching temperature.
Wutan’s pupils shrank. This thing looked very familiar to him. It was the essence of fire!
But if the essence of fire had not been refined by the fire element spirit, how could it be here
He looked at the other jade plate, which was still empty this time.
After glancing at it for a moment, Wu Tian pointed at the empty jade plate and said, "Let's choose this."
This time, a look of surprise flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes, and he said, "Well, let's start the third round."
"besides?"
Wu Tian raised his eyebrows.
“This is the final round.”
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the essence of fire disappeared. No other objects appeared, but a word condensed!
This word is exactly - life!
Look at another empty jade plate. This time it is not empty. There is a murderous word on it!
This word is exactly - death!
Seeing this, Wutan fell silent.
He had already vaguely guessed that these two words might be the key to escaping the road of life and death, but he didn't know what the middle-aged man was planning.
Life and death, how to choose
If it were a normal situation, he would definitely choose to give birth directly. Even if it were someone else, they would make the same choice and would not even hesitate. However, he always felt that it would not be that simple.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
Just when the middle-aged man counted to one, Wu Tian gritted his teeth, pointed at the bloody word "death", and said, "I choose it!"
"Why?"
Now it was the middle-aged man's turn to be stunned, with confusion in his eyes.
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "I don't know why I chose this, but my intuition tells me that if I choose this, I can leave alive."
"intuition?"
The middle-aged man had a helpless expression and actually left his fate to his intuition. This was the first time he had ever met such a bold and bizarre person in his life.
Shaking his head, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, you escaped this disaster relying on your intuition."
"Did you choose the right one?"
Wutan was a little dazed. He didn't lie. He really just relied on his intuition to choose the word death before. But intuition is such a vague thing and it is not reliable at all. It is completely a gamble.
But he never expected that he would actually win the bet.
Seeing him in a daze, the middle-aged man said to himself, "Do you know the meaning of these three multiple-choice questions I asked?"
"If I want to know, why would I be so entangled?"
Wu Tian secretly grumbled in dissatisfaction, and said with a cupped hand: "Please give me some advice, senior."
"These three questions mainly test your character and courage."
The middle-aged man said that if Wutan had chosen the space bracelet in the first game, it would have proved that he was a very greedy person. There would have been no second and third games, and he would have been killed directly.
Fortunately, Wutan chose the empty jade plate and escaped.
In the second round, if Wutan chose the Fire Spirit, it would be enough to prove that he was a person who could not resist temptation and would also be killed by him.
In the third round, if Wutan chose to live, it would mean that he was a coward and would still be killed by him.
"I see."
Wu Tian suddenly realized that these three seemingly simple games were full of murderous intentions.
"I'm curious, did you also rely on your intuition in the first and second rounds?"
The middle-aged man looked puzzled.
You know, the second round is the most precious fire essence in the world. Countless people have chosen it before, but why did this guy choose the empty jade plate
Wu Tian nodded, admitting that he relied on intuition.
But in fact, it is not at all.
To be honest, he was not tempted at all by the space bracelet in the first game, because the resources he chose to own were inexhaustible. So what was the use of the space bracelet
Besides, those who came to participate in the holy war already had a lot of resources, so why would they care about a space bracelet? The middle-aged man was obviously adding unnecessary details.
So, he chose the empty jade plate.
The second game was even easier.
There is only one Fire Essence in the world, and this one has been refined by the Fire Element Spirit. Therefore, after he thought about it secretly for a while, he concluded that the Fire Essence in the second round was fake.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
After much deliberation, he finally chose the empty jade plate.
He couldn't possibly tell the middle-aged man just these. After all, people's minds are hidden. If he told him everything, who could guarantee that the middle-aged man wouldn't have other ideas
So, it’s better to be low-key and stupid.
Sometimes, people who are too smart are more likely to fall.
Seeing Wutan nodded, the middle-aged man was surprised and felt incredible in his heart. He actually made choices based on his intuition and all of them were correct. Isn’t this kid’s luck too incredible
Wu Tian had seen countless people, and he could tell what he was thinking very quickly. He said with a smile, "Although luck is a little hard to believe, it is undeniable that it is also a part of strength."
"kindness."
The middle-aged man nodded, somewhat agreeing with Wu Tian's statement, and said: "Well, since you have passed the test, I will not stop you. This is the reward you deserve. Take this reward and hurry to the Holy Battlefield!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a space bracelet appeared in front of him.
Then, the seat disappeared along with it.
"Leaving now?"
Wu Tian was stunned.
Then he looked at the human puppet in front of him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He took a tentative step forward, but the human puppet did not respond.
I took another cautious step forward, still no response.
Finally, when he walked in front of a human puppet, there was still no response.
Now he felt relieved, and at the same time he felt emotional. He thought he would have to fight to the end, but he didn't expect that a mysterious man would appear in the middle, and by accident, he resolved all the crises on the road of life and death.
After calming down a little, Wutan appeared in front of the space bracelet, grabbed it in his hand, and couldn't help but feel excited.
The mysterious man is extremely powerful, and no one knows what kind of reward he will get.
His mind sank into it, and he was stunned immediately, with an extremely strange look on his face.
"Rubbish!"
After a while, he uttered these two words, sent the space bracelet into the starry world, and then quickly rushed towards the depths of the dark passage.
In fact, there are quite a few things in the space bracelet, such as more than 10,000 plants of imperial medicine, several six-tribulation imperial weapons, and estimated to be billions of elemental essences.
If it were someone else, they would definitely be reluctant to leave, because this is no less than a great treasure.
But in Wutan's eyes, it was really no different from garbage.
For him now, only magical medicines and magical weapons can attract his attention.
As he went deeper, he encountered countless human puppets, but none of them attacked him.
But the passage was longer than expected. It took more than a month, and even with non-stop running, we still hadn't reached the end.
However, the little peacock is about to be born.
“This is not a solution.”
Wutan pondered for a moment, opened the heaven-defying domain, and used his miraculous speed to travel at twice the original speed.
Soon, more than a month passed.
That day, Xiao Wuhao told him that the little peacock would probably be born in three days.
This undoubtedly made Wutan a little angry.
Because he was still running wildly in the passage, he had no idea when the exit would appear.
He also thought about teleporting through a space-time gate, but the space-time gate could not be used in the passage.
In my heart, I have already cursed the mysterious man's ancestors countless times.
Why design such a long passage? Are you bored
Three days passed in a flash. Dark clouds rolled over the sky of the Star Realm, lightning flashed and thunder roared. A terrifying power of heaven filled the world of the Star Realm. Xiao Wuhao, who was standing on the top of the sacred tree, was already anxious and angry. He roared: "Xiao Wutian, how long will it take?"
"I have seen a stone door, which should be the gate leading to the Holy Battlefield."
From the beginning to now, he has passed through nine stone doors in total, and the mysterious man said that the road of life and death has a total of ten levels. So, he has passed nine levels and is now in the passage of the tenth level.
But he was also a little unsure.
Wu Tian said: "First, find a way to delay the birth of the little peacock."
"How can I delay it? Oh, let all the wild beasts absorb the energy of the little peacock. That should delay it a little bit."
Thinking of this, Xiao Wuhao immediately summoned the Fire Qilin and other wild beasts to come, and summarized the seriousness of the little peacock's tribulation in the Starry Realm in one sentence.
Upon hearing this, a group of wild beasts were horrified and hurriedly surrounded the peacock egg to absorb the energy within.
