Li Tong came to a continent where the land was red. Looking around, there were strange blood-colored plants growing all around, and some of them were even burning with raging flames.
"Huh? Where is this place?" A crisp female voice sounded.
"This may be the Phoenix Small World in the legend of the Forty-Nine Immortal Sect!" A rough male voice sounded.
Li Tong turned his head and looked beside him, and found two people standing beside him, they looked familiar, and they seemed to be cultivators who also participated in the trial. Sensing the fluctuation of his cultivation, he happened to be a monk in the early stage of nurturing spirits, which was comparable to his realm.
At this time, Bai Ling's voice came from the sky again: "In this small world, find a lake with black water, and you will pass the test."
As soon as Li Tong heard the request, he immediately analyzed the general idea.
Looking for a trial of class
Then the testers who appeared next to him were obviously assigned by Bai Ling on purpose. They were not enemies in a competitive relationship, but teammates in a cooperative relationship!
"Friends, I'm Li Tong. I wonder if you can join me in searching for the black water lake in the trial?" Li Tong beckoned to his teammates kindly.
The pretty female cultivator was taken aback when she heard the words, and then said with a smile: "Li Taoist is friendly, my dao name is Lilac, and I am happy to search for the Black Water Lake with you."
The burly man nodded and said: "Friend Li Dao, my name is Cheng Yingxiong, I recognize you, you performed very well in the previous trials, and I am willing to go with you."
"Fellow Cheng Yingxiong praised you absurdly. It's all just a fluke." Li Tong said modestly, but his heart was full of joy.
It seems that in the previous trials, he had a very good image in the hearts of the trialists!
Look, that lilac-like girl looked at him with reverence and trust. what is this? This is charisma!
In this way, the three monks happily formed a team to find the legendary black water lake.
Naturally, this trial is not as simple as finding the Blackwater Lake, there must be other hidden dangers, otherwise how will we eliminate the rest of the trialists.
The fact is exactly the same. In the process of searching, they encountered plants that can breathe fire and burn people, various flaming beasts, and flaming birds.
The three of them are all in the early stage of spirit cultivation, so they have no problem dealing with those monsters, and there are no dangers along the way.
After two days like this, the search was fruitless, but the cooperation of the three has been very tacit.
On the third day, the three of them flew over a red valley with their swords and found a lake at the end.
"Look over there, there is a lake!" Ding Xiang said excitedly.
Seeing this, Li Tong and Cheng Yingxiong had expressions of surprise on their faces, and they also accelerated Yu Jian's speed.
Every time they see a lake, they will get excited. Whether it is the black water lake that Bai Ling mentioned or not, they should go to the side of the lake to try their luck first.
Cheng Yingxiong was the first to fly to the center of the lake, frowning and said: "Although the lake is turbid and reddish, it is obviously not a black water lake."
Li Tong and Ding Xiang looked at the lake, with a flash of disappointment on their faces.
At this moment, a huge splash suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake.
Boom!
A giant dragon with a length of more than ten feet rose into the sky and bit Cheng Yingxiong!
Cheng Yingxiong's face changed drastically, and the body protection technique was activated instantly. At this time, the bloody mouth of the giant dragon had already enveloped his body. He immediately used the giant sword to block the top of his head, and was blocked by the giant sword when the giant mouth was closed.
"Ah... help!" Cheng Yingxiong struggled to resist the bite of the giant dragon, almost unable to hold on.
boom boom...
Two giant dragons emerged from the lake again, their red eyes shining with dangerous light.
"Cheng Hero!"
When Li Tong saw this, he was ready to rush to help, but at this moment Ding Xiang held his hand.
"Li Tong, don't be impulsive! Those three giant flood dragons are all in the mid-stage of spiritual cultivation, and they are obviously waiting for us to pass. We only have the early stage of spiritual cultivation. If we go, we will probably die there. !” Ding Xiang persuaded loudly.
"But... there is still hope!" Li Tong gritted his teeth.
"Are you stupid! Don't forget what our purpose is, to find the Black Water Lake through cultivation! It's not for our teammates to die here!" Ding Xiang shouted.
Boom!
The two giant dragons with their heads exposed in the lake spread their wings and rushed towards Li Tong and Ding Xiang with extremely fast speed, obviously deciding to take the initiative to attack.
"Run!" Seeing this, Ding Xiang yelled, turned around and ran.
Li Tong trembled all over.
Cheng Yingxiong was about to be unable to hold on, and was completely swallowed by the giant dragon. It's not impossible to rescue Cheng Yingxiong from the siege of the two giant dragons. But... the danger is too great!
"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Cheng Yingxiong, my dream is to pursue the Supreme Dao, and I can't stay here!" Li Tong yelled, as if to ease the guilt in his heart, then turned and ran away!
"Li Tong, save me!"
Cheng Yingxiong's call for help came from behind.
Li Tong closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, fleeing into the distance.
Behind him, the roar of the giant dragon's pursuit and the sound of Cheng Yingxiong's body being crushed into pieces of meat sounded.
Li Tong fled frantically, and then the world turned into darkness.
He was stunned for a moment, and then his consciousness fell into a coma.
In the endless darkness.
Consciousness slowly regained.
Li Tongli opened his hazy eyes and found himself in a familiar space.
"This is... me, how did I come here?"
A bad premonition rose from my heart.
He looked at the hundreds of monks who also appeared in this space, and everyone looked ashamed. Some monks looked at themselves with sympathy and a touch of sympathy...
"You lost." Bai Ling looked up at the dozens of images in the void and said without looking back.
"I, why did I lose? I'm clearly not dead! I haven't found the Black Water Lake, and the trial is not over yet!" Li Tong shouted.
"Could it be... Could it be that the time limit is up?"
He suddenly thought of a possibility and said.
Bai Ling smiled faintly: "Looking for the Black Water Lake? No, there is no Black Water Lake in that small world."
Boom!
Li Tong seemed to be struck by five thunders, and thought of a certain possibility.
Trials to find the black water lake and so on are all fake!
It's like walking a ladder to reach the end, it's all a cover! !
"So I..."
Bai Ling nodded and said: "That's right, the reason you lost the trial was because you abandoned your teammates who were fighting side by side when you had hope to save them."
Li Tong was short of breath, dissatisfied and unwilling.
He reasoned and argued: "Why, it takes a lot of risk to save him. Isn't it normal for me to make this choice in order to survive?!"
Bai Ling smiled and said: "I didn't say you did something wrong. In fact, in that situation, it's understandable for you to make any choice. But I, the Four Nine Immortals, prefer people who are willing to risk their lives to save their teammates. How to choose?" It's my freedom, what do you think and what does it have to do with me?"
Li Tong opened his mouth dully.
At this moment, there was a movement beside him, and a man with a rough figure sat up.
"Huh? Fellow Daoist Li! What's going on? Why did I rescue you from the giant dragon's mouth and we ended up here?" the man asked.
Li Tong looked at the man beside him in shock, as if he had seen a ghost: "Cheng... Hero Cheng! Are you still alive?"
Cheng Yingxiong hammered Li Tong's chest, laughed and said, "Hey, are you frightened? I almost died, but didn't I save you and escape together?!"
"Hey... where is this place?" Another familiar voice sounded.
"Ah! Li Tong! It's great that you didn't die! Woohoo... I rushed to save you, but you were eaten by a giant dragon. I was really helpless..." The woman's eyes were red, seeing that Li Tong was safe and sound Afterwards, some wept with joy.
Li Tong looked dull, as if his chest was blocked by something.
False, all false... The previous one must be some kind of illusion, right
So exciting, so bullying! !
"Congratulations, Cheng Yingxiong and Ding Xiang, you two have passed the test!" Bai Ling smiled at the two of them.
Cheng Yingxiong and Ding Xiang cheered together after a short period of confusion.
Although he didn't know why he passed the test, but Bai Ling said it himself, then he was safe!
"By the way, Li Tong, you woke up faster than us, did you also pass the test?!" Ding Xiang said happily.
Li Tong shook his head silently, and said bitterly, "I, I failed."
"Ah? How come, why?" Cheng Yingxiong asked in shock.
Li Tong looked at the lively Cheng Yingxiong, speechless, but tears were about to fall.
What's going on with this awkward, weird and sad atmosphere
He can't say that he failed to save Cheng Yingxiong because he refused to save Cheng Yingxiong...
