At 10 o'clock in the morning, the participating students arrived at the Bottomless Demonic Realm in Nancheng District under the transportation of a team of buses.
Although this place is open to the public demon tamers, it is actually a real military camp with strict security.
The 100-man team that Du Yu was in was assigned to the east camp - the east entrance of Wudi.
Teams of students lined up to scan their IDs, confirm their registration and identity information, and receive electronic devices.
At the front of the team, a demon soldier paced back and forth, loudly preaching the precautions after entering the Bottomless: "Don't add demon energy to the Bottomless, you are likely to be invaded by cold air, and your demon pet may become irritable and angry!"
"Treat the demonic energy in your body as a disposable consumable and allocate it properly to achieve better results!"
"Don't be too eager for quick success and don't damage your physical functions for a game, which will affect your future. Don't fight alone, only unity and cooperation can achieve better results..."
Listening to the soldier's patient instructions, Du Yu lined up at the table, opened his ID and placed it on the card reader.
With a soft "beep" sound, several soldiers behind the table were stunned. They looked at Du Yu's student card on the tablet computer and couldn't help but look up at Du Yu.
Du Yu looked well behaved and didn't move.
A young soldier couldn't help but sigh: "Good boy, you've only been awakened for more than two months, and this little business card... is really impressive?"
"Du Yu." Another soldier clicked the mouse and murmured softly.
On Du Yu’s student card, to the right of his name, there are two particularly eye-catching ring patterns.
A simple bronze ring and a weathered dark silver ring!
The soldiers knew very well that Du Yu was a disciple of the Paper Crane, which meant that he had only awakened on June 7th, and today was August 15th!
Others may never get a bookstore ring in their lifetime, but this kid just awakened and already has two bookstore rings!
In the rules for converting non-staff students to regular students promulgated by the Demon Spirit Academy, the item of obtaining a library ring is simply used to make up the numbers.
And Du Yu's two rings can even allow him to re-enroll in the Monster Spirit Academy after dropping out!
The soldiers' reactions were relatively calm. Du Yu's performance was totally inhumane...
Li Mengnan poked his head out curiously: "Any questions? Silly Du Yu, have we signed up?"
"I've reported it." The soldier responded, picked up the certificate and handed it to Du Yu, showing great respect, "Go put on the equipment, and look forward to your performance."
Du Yu nodded and walked to the table next to him. While picking up the micro camera, he also felt the gazes on him.
This is too painful...
He wanted to keep a low profile and not draw too much attention to himself, which would help him survive longer.
However, before at the bookstore headquarters, Old Demon Gong actually named Du Yu and sent him directly to the "grill grill".
Damn old demon Gong, I'm afraid he was born to defeat me, Old Six Du...
The soldier's voice in the distance continued: "Ordinary monsters have 1 to 10 points, and earth-level monsters have 50 to 100 points. Manage your monster energy storage properly. If you can't hold on, press the camera button in time, and we will go out to rescue you immediately."
Li Mengnan took the equipment he had received and quickly caught up with Du Yu, whispering, "Second brother, the rules say that there is a monster leader on the third underground floor, and he is worth a thousand points!
And if we kill it, the whole game will be over."
Du Yu whispered, "One thousand points, if you kill him, you'll basically be first."
Li Mengnan's beautiful eyes were bright and she was very excited. Great minds think alike!
She put her lips close to Du Yu's ear and said, "That's right. With the strength of the contestants, it is impossible for the bookstore to arrange a heavenly-level monster leader."
Du Yu's ears felt a little itchy, so he moved his ears away while nodding slightly.
The greatest confidence of the two people comes from Hu Xiaoyan.
As long as you are at the Earth level, don’t worry about whether you are at the peak or not, just see if Xiaoyan explodes and you’re done!
Du Yu whispered, "After you go down, follow my instructions. Let's see the situation and try to go straight to the third floor."
"Yeah." Li Mengnan said softly, tied the camera, and tried the small headlamp on his forehead.
Looking at Li Mengnan's reaction, Du Yu knew that she had not yet understood the meaning of "go straight to the third floor".
Thanks to the instructions from Master Qing yesterday, Du Yu knew about today's competition venue in advance. After a day of researching information, he had memorized the routes of the first three levels of the underground maze...
The two of them, who had made a plan, mixed into the queue for admission. In front of them were stone steps extending downwards, and the stone door at the entrance was also closed.
The Demonic Realm - Bottomless is a huge natural collapsed pit, the diameter of which can be measured in kilometers.
The bottomless area here has been fully developed and used as a place for troops to train all year round. Multi-story underground palaces have also been built there.
"Dudu! Dudu!" The soldier blew the whistle and shouted, "Everyone, pay attention. When you are ready, set off at any time!"
The stone door leading to the underground slowly opened, making a series of noises.
The students were relatively calm and did not act rashly. Only a few students walked away.
But before they had gone down a few steps, they were forced back.
A chilly breath, accompanied by a musty smell, hits you in the face, and in this hot summer day, it even makes people feel chilled to the bone!
At this moment, there was no need for the soldiers to give orders again and again, as no one dared to absorb the demon's aura anymore.
Even a novice demon tamer could feel that in this cold breath, there was a hint of cold air waiting to move...
At once, all the contestants stopped.
The soldier's voice sounded at the right time: "Those who fail to enter within 30 seconds will be treated as forfeiting."
"Don't block the road." A tall and strong young man with short hair pushed away the hesitant crowd in front of him. He was holding a broad-bladed sword and walked down the stairs without even summoning his pet.
With the first person leading the way, the contestants walked down one after another.
Until the last ten seconds of the countdown, the students rushed in. As the door was only wide enough for 4 or 5 people to walk side by side, Du Yu and Li Mengnan were even pushed in.
"It's indeed not a place for practicing." Li Mengnan said in a low voice, looking around with his headlights shining everywhere.
This is an underground palace and also a maze.
The purpose of such construction is to prevent underground monsters from coming out unhindered and causing harm to the human world.
The dark corridor stretched all the way to a place beyond the reach of everyone's headlights. In the cold environment, there was even a wisp of gray mist.
That was undoubtedly the cold!
And the cold is visible to the naked eye!
The students couldn't help but look embarrassed. The cold energy that was supposed to be insidious and cunning was actually exposed in front of everyone. It was simply rampant to the extreme!
The heavy stone door at the back slowly closed, and after a muffled "dong" sound, the entire underground palace fell into silence.
In the dim environment, only the headlamps on the students' foreheads illuminated the surroundings.
“Woooooooooooooooooooo…”
In the extremely quiet underground palace, there was a faint sound of crying, which seemed to be from a woman or a child, with resentment, longing, sobbing and complaining.
For a moment, the students' hearts were in their throats!
The environment here is already eerie and cold. Coupled with the faint sobbing...
"Is that a demon soldier?" A young man's voice came from the front row. Under the light of the headlights, the students actually saw a female soldier in camouflage walking out from the depths of the dark corridor, approaching everyone step by step.
"Don't, don't go over there! It can't be! How could a soldier cry here?"
"It should be a monster that can change its form?"
"Wuwu~Wuwu..." The female soldier covered her face with her hands and lowered her head. Her crying was so miserable. She approached step by step, staggeringly.
"This..." For a moment, several players in the front stepped back. The corridor was already narrow, with only 4 or 5 people able to walk side by side. Moreover, there were more than a hundred players crowding the gate, and those behind were almost squeezed onto the stairs.
“Stop!
"If you come any closer, I will attack!" The voices came from the front, but the image of the female soldier was too realistic, just a wounded and crying soldier.
"Don't retreat, it's too crowded!"
"You bunch of cowards, let me pass and I'll kill you! Damn it, stop pushing!"
The crowd blocking the door retreated step by step. Du Yu was completely convinced. They were simply a group of mob!
He had just entered the arena, and before he could even start fighting the monsters, he was almost squeezed out by his own people. If only one of the people in the front row had not been scared, the whole team wouldn't have been squeezed out.
"Mennan, stand firm." Du Yu put one hand on Li Mengnan's shoulder, and his figure rose and fell lightly, and stepped directly on Li Mengnan's shoulder.
Soldiers are scored comprehensively based on their performance. I'll take this point first!
"Huh?"
"Hmm?" Two female voices were heard, one was Li Mengnan, and the other was a strange girl whose shoulder was stepped on by Du Yu.
Du Yu also wanted to stand firm, but Li Mengnan retreated with the crowd, so he could only step forward...
He felt his ankle being grabbed by a strange girl, but when he drew his bow and arrow, the girl did not throw him off immediately.
“Swoosh~”
A bolt of fire passed over everyone's heads and went straight to the female soldier who was staggering towards them in the distance.
"Wuwu~Wuuuah!" The miserable crying voice suddenly raised its pitch and turned into a shrill scream.
The body was actually pierced through in an instant and was divided into five parts
She seemed like a crooked marionette, and her steps suddenly quickened!
"Go! Go!" Under Du Yu's pressure, someone in front finally rushed forward to kill.
Du Yu looked down and saw that the strange girl was pushing the back of the student in front of her with one hand and slightly moving sideways to make room for Du Yu.
"Sorry." Du Yu fell down. With the screams of female soldiers in front, the participating students rushed forward and the team finally relaxed a lot.
"I know you, Du Yu, you are Aunt Qingqing's disciple." The girl said, patting the dust off her shoulder with one hand.
"Hello?" Du Yu was stunned for a moment. The girl in front of him had pretty short hair, slightly sharp eyes, and heroic spirit between her brows.
She had bandages wrapped around her hands, and looked like a martial artist.
The short-haired girl smiled, and her sharp eyes softened a little: "Lin Shiwei."
"Lin Shi... Wei." Du Yu nodded thoughtfully. No wonder she called Teacher Qing "Auntie".
Lin Shiwei didn't mind being stepped on the shoulder and was very friendly: "How about we act together?"
Du Yu hesitated for a moment, but politely declined, "My team has already made a plan. Sorry."
"Okay then." Lin Shiwei didn't force it. As she walked forward, she said softly, "Then wish us good luck."
The battlefield ahead was in chaos. The screaming female soldier had turned into mist and was being bombarded by all kinds of magic skills.
Li Mengnan, who was at the back, followed the team forward, but he also had a strange look on his face: "Sure, second brother? Do you have any buff bonus for the girls of the Lin family?"
Du Yu: “…”
Li Mengnan raised his lips slightly: "I think Lin Shiyi treats you very well, and you stepped on another Lin Shiwei?"
Du Yu said unhappily, "Even the cold air in the corridor can't stop you from talking."
Li Mengnan:
This kid has become so capable that he even dares to call me big brother
"Hurry up, we might be squeezed back in a while." Du Yu looked at the crowded battlefield ahead and moved forward quickly.
Li Mengnan was muttering things like "treason" and "rebellion", but his body was honest and he quickly followed.
"Du Yu! Du Yu Du Yu!"
"Hmm?" Du Yu paused and responded quickly in his mind, "What's wrong, Xiao Fen Yang?"
"I... I seem to sense the presence of the demonic fire."
Du Yu’s eyes widened slightly. The most precious treasure in the demon-controlling world—the demon fire
"Where? Where is the demonic fire?"
"Eh?" Little Fenyang's voice was a little silly, "I seemed to feel it just now, but now I can't find it~"
Du Yu: “…”
Xiao Fenyang was very confused: "What's going on?"
Du Yu's heart moved, he turned around, squeezed through the crowd behind him: "Meng Nan."
"Ah." Li Mengnan followed curiously and whispered, "Where are we going?"
Du Yu whispered, "Wait a moment, it's too chaotic ahead, wait until the battle is over."
As he spoke, Du Yu walked back a few steps, and finally there were no more students around.
As expected, Xiao Fen Yang's voice came again in my mind: "I feel it! I feel it again. I said there is the breath of demonic fire~"
Du Yu immediately stood still, turned around and stood side by side with Li Mengnan, pretending to look into the distance, and asked in his mind: "Is it right under our feet?"
Xiao Fenyang's voice was full of surprise: "Yes, yes! It's right under our feet, this distance..."
"How far away?"
"It can be about 500 meters, right? This is the maximum distance that I can sense the demon fire, and it's pretty close~ Wow, so great!" Xiao Fen Yang was completely immersed in joy.
It can be heard how precious the demon fire is and how much Xiao Fen Yang wants to possess it.
Du Yu raised his head stupidly and measured the distance from the ceiling to the ground. It was probably about 5 meters
If the height of each floor is the same, 500 meters would be 100 floors!
The bookstore has already given an objective answer. With his current strength, he can only stay within the third underground floor.
Moreover, through the information he checked yesterday, Du Yu could only find the maps of the first ten floors.
Even if the authorities have concealed the number of floors in the bottomless pit, it is not certain that it can be built to 100 floors!
this
Du Yu was somewhat helpless: "Xiao Fen Yang, we don't have the ability to obtain it now."
"Oh..." Little Fen Yang was immediately poured with a bucket of cold water, his words were full of pity, and he whispered, "Yes, Du Yu is so weak."
...
Brothers, the third update will be in the daytime. After many changes, I am still not satisfied. I think quality should be the top priority and I cannot rush to make up for it. I will definitely make up for it three times in the daytime, which will be updated at 12.17.20 respectively. I am really sorry!
