There were only two days left before the trial in the dark forest, and Xiao Chen still didn't go out. During the day, he continued to comprehend what he had learned during the battle with Zhang He that day, and at night he practiced the Purple Thunder Art.
Xiao Chen felt that he had touched the edge of the Dou Sheng Origin Transformation Technique. But after he came back, he tried to use the wings to fly twice again, but failed several times.
Xiao Chen pondered hard, and one of the big reasons why he was able to fly on the wings smoothly that day was that he was hit by the bright moon like fire move and put himself in a desperate situation, which stimulated his own potential.
Another reason may be that after taking the Dan Yuan, his strength has been greatly improved, and he is much stronger than he is now.
No matter what the reason is, Xiao Chen is full of expectations for the trial in the dark forest. Only in dangerous places can he put himself in a desperate situation and experience the essence of the Fighting Saint's Source Transformation Technique between life and death.
Only through constant fighting can one's own strength be improved. Working behind closed doors is obviously not a good solution.
Two days later, the trial was held as scheduled. Under the leadership of the great elder, Xiao Chen followed the crowd and rushed towards the square in the city, where he wanted to meet with the other members of the three major families.
Then, under the leadership of the Lord of Mohe City, he rushed to the edge of the dark forest and started the trial.
There are ten people from the Xiao family participating in the trial this time, and all of them have at least the cultivation level of a top-grade warrior. Xiao Jian and Xiao Yulan's cultivation level has even reached the martial arts level. They are definitely the strongest group among the three major families. people.
When they arrived at the square, people from the Tang family and Zhang family had already arrived first, and the looks from both sides were very unkind. Both families have suffered losses at the hands of the Xiao family recently, and the new and old grudges are combined, and they can't wait to start a fight now.
On the stone platform in the center of the square, the city lord has not yet appeared. Xiao Chen and Xiao Yulan were chatting casually, but they did not feel bored. They just thought that the score set by the city lord was really big.
"You are Xiao Chen."
While the two were chatting, someone suddenly came over from the side. Xiao Yulan was facing the person, with a frown on her face, and whispered: "It's from the Tang family."
Xiao Chen's spiritual consciousness had already clearly seen this person's appearance, and he was not surprised. He turned around and said with a smile, "I am exactly the same. I wonder 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 he smiled and said, "It's okay. Brother Xiao's name is well known in Mohe City recently. I just wanted to come over and make friends." Ichiban.”
Xiao Yulan sneered from behind and said, "To make friends, your eldest brother Tang Yuan died on our Qijiao Mountain. If you don't seek revenge from us, why do you come here to make friends?"
After hearing this, the smile on Tang Feng's face became even thicker and he said: "This guy has always been against me, and now he died at the hands of Brother Xiao. He really deserves it. I can't thank Brother Xiao enough, so how can I think of revenge."
Tang Feng was surprised. For the position of the head of the family, brothers have been fighting for a long time, so it is not surprising. It's just that in Linlang Pavilion, Xiao Chen already knew what kind of character this person was, so how could he believe his words.
Xiao Jian next to him changed his face slightly when he heard Tang Feng's words, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
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 make friends with me?"
Tang Feng's face changed drastically, the previous smile disappeared, and he said with a gloomy face: "You have ruined my good deeds time and time again. It turns out it was you who did it. Don't be proud. You'd better not go to the dark forest. If you do, don't leave." Figured it out.”
Tang Feng shook his sleeves, snorted coldly, and left without looking back.
Xiao Chen had a bad premonition in his heart. Tang Feng said this, is there some death waiting for me in this dark forest
"Cousin Xiao Chen, what did you just say to that man that made him look so ugly?" Xiao Yulan asked curiously. Not only him, but also other Xiao family children looked at him curiously.
Xiao Chen said with a smile: "I told him that it is very impolite to come out and talk to someone without even wiping the shit out of his eyes."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, but Xiao Chen was left with a shadow in his heart. He really couldn't let go, but he had to go to this dark forest, and there was really no other way.
No matter what, the soldiers will block it and the earth will cover it. Thinking about it now will only increase the troubles, Xiao Chen comforted himself in his heart.
At this time, the crowd suddenly became noisy. Xiao Chen looked up and saw that it was the city lord Dugu Feng who had finally arrived. Xiao Chen was also a little curious about this man with the greatest strength in Mohe City. He detected his spiritual sense, but found that he could not see through his strength at all.
I couldn't help but feel a little surprised. I thought that the master of a city must have amazing cultivation, but I didn't expect that it would reach this point, and even he couldn't see through it.
The city lord encouraged everyone, but without saying anything more, he gave instructions to the people behind him. Several small black dots suddenly flew from the sky. The black dots got closer and closer, and only then did they see clearly that they were huge flying spiritual beasts, bat curtains.
This is a mutated bird of a bat. It has no feathers all over its body and has smooth black skin. It is huge, with its wings spread out, and is dozens of meters long.
When it stopped, a huge whirlwind blew on the ground, and a burst of flying sand and rocks made it difficult for people to open their eyes.
Everyone followed Xiao Qiang towards one of the bat curtains, with excited expressions on their faces. These people had never seen flying birds and beasts before, and they couldn't help but feel excited now that they had the opportunity to take a ride.
Even if Xiao Chen can use gravity to fly slowly, he is still full of expectations for the bat mantle. Traveling by bird will definitely have a different experience.
After the bat mantle's wings were unfolded, the trunk and wings were connected together, like a huge platform. At the signal of the bat mantle's slave driver, everyone took off their shoes and socks and went up barefoot.
Standing on the bat mantle with bare feet, Xiao Chen actually felt a slight suction, firmly fixing his feet on it. When I wanted to lift my feet, I took a few steps forward very easily, as steady as the ground.
Xiao Chen was surprised. No wonder there were so many flying spirit beasts, but the most widely used one was the bat curtain. Although it was a bit ugly, it was indeed very stable.
With a cry, the bat mantle blew up a hurricane, and took off in a whoosh. This bat mantle does not fly by the instigation of its wings, but by controlled airflow, and it travels extremely fast.
The crowd in Mohe City below became smaller and smaller in everyone's eyes, until they finally turned into black spots and disappeared completely. The wind whistled in their ears, but the suction coming from the soles of their feet made everyone feel no panic, and the smiles on their faces have not disappeared.
The dark forest is located in a remote place, a long way from Mohe City. Even though it may take two hours to take the bat mantle, Xiao Chen didn't want to waste time, so he sat cross-legged and started practicing.
A trace of relief flashed across Xiao Qiang's face. He was so diligent, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and had the inheritance of Thunder Emperor to help him. He would definitely make a difference in the future.
Under the influence of Xiao Chen, the excitement on the faces of the others slowly subsided, and they sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
boom!
After flying for a long time, the bat curtain finally stopped. Xiao Chen opened his eyes, put on his shoes and socks, and jumped lightly.
Looking at the gray forest in front of me, I murmured in my heart, this is the deep dark forest, I don't know what kind of surprise it will bring me.
At this moment, Xiao Chen felt a gaze coming toward him with strong murderous intent. Looking along the murderous intent, Xiao Chen saw that the man was the head of the Zhang family.
He didn't mean to hide it at all, his eyes were filled with deep hatred, and killing intent surged towards Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen was unafraid, grinning and not caring at all.
"Elder Xiao, is this the candidate sent by your Xiao family?" The Lord of Mohe City came over with four old men in gray robes.
Xiao Qiang nodded and pointed out the appearance of the ten people to the city lord one by one. Until Xiao Chen, at the request of the city lord, Xiao Qiang introduced them emphatically.
"Elder Xiao, this is not your first time here. You should be clear about the rules."
Xiao Qiang nodded and said: "The one with the highest cultivation level among the ten people he brings is no more than a middle-grade martial artist, and the oldest one is eighteen years old. The Lord of Dugu City can check carefully.
In this trial in the dark forest, participants cannot be more than a martial artist, and their age cannot be more than twenty. Once they exceed the requirements, they will be kicked off.
Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He had never expected such a request. If there was no great martial artist, even if the Zhang and Tang families united to deal with him, he would not be afraid at all.
After Dugu Feng and others left, Xiao Qiang faced everyone with a serious look and said: "I don't want to say more about the dangers of the dark forest. You should all know that no matter what kind of festivals there are in your group, they will be gone inside." Put it down."
"This trip is very difficult. 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 and did not let Xiao Chen speak, "You don't have to refuse. I haven't told you about your mission yet. Lead this group of people to survive and hunt for a hundred demon cores of second-level demon beasts. Even if it is completed, mission."
Xiao Chen felt a little helpless, but the Great Elder had already made up his mind and would not allow others to refute him, so he had no choice but to accept this hard job.
Half an hour later, after everyone had made all preparations, they slowly walked towards the dark forest under the leadership of Xiao Chen. They could see that the other two teams also set off at this time.
"It's so cold!"
The moment they stepped into the forest, everyone felt a chill coming over them. The soil above the ground was actually pure black, making people feel their scalp numb.
Looking up, the tall and dense branches and leaves blocked all the sunlight, making the forest dark.
Everyone's field of vision was greatly obstructed. Xiao Chen looked forward and saw waves of black mist filling the air, making it impossible to see clearly.
After dispersing his spiritual consciousness, Xiao Chen's spiritual consciousness could only be radiated to a distance of two hundred meters due to the obstruction of an unknown force.
Xiao Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that such a situation would happen again, but this was definitely not the time to complain. Xiao Chen took out the map given to him by the elder, looked at it, and led everyone forward.
Twenty minutes later, there was still no change in the scene in front of everyone. Finally, someone couldn't help complaining: "Xiao Chen, what path did you take? After walking for so long, why didn't you even see the shadow of the monster? If this continues, when will the mission of two hundred demon cores be completed?"
Xiao Chen felt a little helpless. He hadn't even arrived for half an hour, but someone already couldn't bear the loneliness. The captain's errand was really difficult to handle.
"You want to meet a monster so much, aren't you afraid of being eaten by it?" Someone next to me said jokingly.
"You're kidding. I'm here to kill the monsters, not to feed them. How is that possible?" the man said loudly.
Xiao Chen didn't want to pay attention to it, but at this moment a dangerous aura came, and he quickly said loudly: "There is danger, everyone, be careful."
Everyone else 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 mentioned? Why didn't I see it?"
Phew!
Just above the man's head, others saw an extremely terrifying sight. A huge red tongue fell from the sky and rolled up the man instantly.
