Cang Shan told everyone that there are still two ways for those who have not passed the trial, one is to leave directly, and the other is to stay in Kongming Academy as an outer hall student.
The so-called outer hall students practiced on their own and did some miscellaneous things, waiting for the opportunity to participate in the trial again after three years.
Of course, the prerequisite for these is to survive the trial, whether it is the Royal Secret Realm or the Kong Ming trial, there is no guarantee of life.
"Now, open the land of the secret realm!"
Following Cangshan's order, the six instructors standing behind him stood in two rows and stretched out their hands to release their spiritual power at the same time. The places where the spiritual power gathered gradually formed two door-shaped light clusters.
This is the array gate of space teleportation, and this array gate leads to the place of trial.
Everyone lined up and walked into the array gates one by one as required. Shui Yun and Mo Yun stood beside the two array gates respectively, collecting the storage utensils and spiritual weapons from the students.
While shouting in dissatisfaction, the crowd had to hand over what they were carrying. After handing over the things, they would get an ordinary fine steel sword and a storage bag.
The Miss Li family who was walking in front of Yun Ruoyan wanted to fish in troubled waters, but she was pulled out by a mirror held by Shui Yun, which could sense spiritual things.
The Miss Li family hid a high-grade panacea on her body, but when the mirror shone on her body, the white light kept flickering.
Zhuo Yifeng's tiger-toothed arrow had just passed the fifth rank, and he narrowly passed the test. Neither Lin Qingchen's soft sword nor Lin Qingxue's double knives were spiritual weapons, so there was no need to hand them over.
But Li Mo had to hand over the storage ring that Li Mo had given to Yun Ruoyan and Lin Qingchen's universe bag.
Yun Ruoyan took out the stainless steel dagger from the ring and put it in the trouser leg, and then took out some antidote pills and elixir and put them in the silver bracelet while others were not paying attention. She was betting that Shuiyun's mirror could not find her identity. silver bracelet.
"Hand over the spirit weapon on your body!" At this moment, Mo Yun suddenly uttered a stern voice, which attracted everyone to look over.
"This is the heirloom of my Pei family, the Poyun Spear." Pei Ziao held the Poyun Spear that was shrunk down to the length of a flute, and he was unwilling to hand it over.
"You have two choices, hand over the spirit weapon and enter the trial ground, or leave Kongming Academy with the spirit weapon." Mo Yun's attitude was even tougher.
"Brother Pei, hand it over. The Kongming Academy will definitely keep your family treasure for you." Wang Meng behind Pei Ziao said while handing over two yellow jade pendants and a storage ring to him. I gave it to Mo Yun, and then took the things and walked into the formation gate.
Pei Ziao had no choice but to hand over the Poyun Spear, and walked in after Wang Meng.
Here, Zhuo Yifeng took his own bow and arrow and led things in front of Yun Ruoyan and walked into the formation gate.
Yun Ruoyan walked up to Shuiyun, took the initiative to take off the ring and handed it to her, Shuiyun took the ring, and checked Yun Ruoyan with a mirror as usual.
Yun Ruoyan has a lot of treasures on her body, she is inevitably nervous, but she still doesn't show anything on her face.
The mirror looked at the silver bracelet on her wrist, but there was no white light, but Yun Ruoyan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart with a smile on her face.
But when the mirror shone on Yun Ruoyan's neck, there was a faint white light, and Yun Ruoyan remembered the fish pellets on her neck.
When Yun Ruoyan was about to take it off, Shui Yun said, "This is neither a weapon nor a panacea, so you should take it with you."
Yun Ruoyan nodded gratefully to Shuiyun, then took the steel sword and storage bag and walked into the gate of the formation.
Yun Ruoyan only felt a rather dazzling white light flash by, she closed her eyes subconsciously, and when the white light disappeared, when she opened her eyes, there was already a different scene in front of her eyes.
Yun Ruoyan thought that the trial site would be a deep forest valley like a royal secret, but to her surprise, there was a vast expanse of yellow sand in front of her.
Standing on the yellow sand, with the scorching sun on your head and the hot wind blowing on your face, it feels like you have come from heaven to purgatory in an instant.
"What the hell, why did you send us to the desert?" Not only Yun Ruoyan was surprised, but almost everyone was surprised.
Lin Qingchen and Lin Qingxue also appeared behind Yun Ruoyan. They stood beside Yun Ruoyan on the left and right, looking at the desert that appeared in front of them for the first time in their lives, and they were a little stunned.
In the distance, there is a sand dune towering like a mountain, which obstructs the sight in the distance. Many people are climbing towards the sand dune in front.
The people who had already climbed the hill cheered and ran to the other side of the dune as if they saw some treasure.
Yun Ruoyan saw not far ahead, Zhuo Yifeng was standing there looking at the sand dunes, apparently waiting for them.
The three of them walked over to make peace with Zhuo Yifeng, and then the four of them also walked towards the top of the dune.
On the way of climbing, Yun Ruoyan saw Yi Qianying, Yun Ruoyao and Rong Yueshan, and a team of about seven or eight people with them.
Wang Meng and Pei Ziao's team also had seven or eight people behind Yi Qianying and they were also struggling to climb up the sand dunes.
It wasn't until Yun Ruoyan and the others climbed to the sand dune that they realized why those people cheered just now.
Standing on the sand dunes and looking far away, there are several oases connected together not far away. Those oases in the long yellow sand are like emerald chains dropped from the sky, emitting emerald green light.
"So beautiful."
Everyone couldn't help admiring, and then ran towards one of the oases like everyone else.
Yun Ruoyan saw that most of the people were running towards a larger oasis to the west, including Yi Qianying and Pei Ziao.
A small number of people also ran towards a smaller oasis in the east, and Yun Ruoyan and the others followed the small number of people towards the small oasis.
After a while, the four of them ran into the small oasis. The trees in the oasis were never seen by the four of them, and the fruits on the trees were also never seen by the four of them.
The four of them observed the surrounding environment curiously, and then heard cheers and the sound of splashing in the depths of the oasis.
Yun Ruoyan and the others continued to move towards the direction of the voice, passed through the woods, and suddenly saw a bright light.
What appeared in front of the four of them was a large emerald green lake. At the edge of the lake, there were more than a dozen students playing in the water.
In such hot weather, seeing such lake water, even Yun Ruoyan couldn't help but want to pounce on it.
Just as the four of them walked towards the lake, Jiujiu issued a warning in Yun Ruoyan's mind.
"Master, be careful, there are water monsters in the lake." Water monsters are another name for monsters in the water.
Yun Ruoyan stopped immediately, and at the same time grabbed the other three people.
"Sister Ruoyan, what's the matter?" Lin Qingxue asked puzzledly, she was feeling hot and uncomfortable, and her throat was so steamed by the sun that it was about to smoke, she wished she could jump into the water immediately.
"Don't you think it's too peaceful?" Yun Ruoyan said, looking around and at the lake. Except for the voices of the few people on the lake, there seemed to be no other sounds.
This is not right, since this is a place of trials, there must be monsters. Why did everyone run all the way through the woods but didn't see any monsters
unless...
Unless the monster is hidden in the lake!
The four looked at each other and thought of this at the same time.
"ah!"
At this moment, there was a sudden scream in the lake, and then there were screams one after another.
Those who played in the deeper part of the lake seemed to be dragged into the water as if they were being held by their legs.
In the blink of an eye, only four or five of the dozen or so people on the lake remained.
"Run, there is a water monster! Run!" The four or five people screamed and ran towards the shore.
Immediately behind them, several thick black tentacles protruded from the lake, and those tentacles rolled towards the five running people, and in an instant, three more screamed and were dragged into the lake.
The remaining two people finally ran out of the water, and after recovering from the sudden shock, they turned around and slashed at the tentacles with the steel sword in their hands.
Those tentacles encountered resistance, but they did not fight recklessly, and slowly retracted into the lake.
The two students, a man and a woman who escaped from death, ran towards Yun Ruoyan and the others with pale faces.
The two of them had never seen Yun Ruoyan before, and the girl among them had a hooked nose, which was very exotic.
Lin Qingxue told Yun Ruoyan that she was the lady of the Li family who was acting strangely in front of their room, and Yun Ruoyan saw that she was indeed from a foreign country.
The two of them ran all the way behind Yun Ruoyan and the others before stopping, gasping for breath.
"I didn't expect that there would be a water monster from our Shen Guohai here." The male student Yun Ruoyan didn't know said while panting.
"Are you from Shen country?" Yun Ruoyan asked, "Do you know that monster?"
The country of Shen is facing the East China Sea, there are many large water monsters in the sea, and the people of the country of Shen are more familiar with water monsters.
"Yes, I am from Shen country." The man replied with lingering fear: "That is a water monster in the deep sea, called Octopus. I didn't expect it to appear in such a small lake, and it was still in the desert!"
The man was shocked to see the water monster in the deep sea here.
"This water monster is too scary. I think we should go to another oasis to see." Ms. Li from Moguo said, Moguo is an inland plain where even monsters are rarely seen, and now they are scared by this eight-legged ghost creature. Huarong paled.
"Yes." The man from Shen Guo agreed: "The eight-legged ghost has a very strong sense of place. This entire oasis should be its territory. It does not allow others to invade its territory. Let's go to other oases to have a look. Bar."
After the two finished speaking, they turned around and ran into the woods together without waiting for Yun Ruoyan and the others to speak.
"Sister Ruoyan, what should we do now? Should we go or stay?" Both Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingchen looked at He Yun Ruoyan.
Zhuo Yifeng looked into the lake with bright eyes.
"If you lure it out, how sure are you that you will kill it?" Yun Ruoyan didn't rush to answer Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingchen's question, but looked at Zhuo Yifeng and asked.
