Ye Li stood on the grass in a daze, his mind full of thoughts. He felt that after gaining a deeper and more thorough understanding of spiritual energy, his control over power had improved a little.
At this moment, the surrounding grass and flowers instantly transformed into primitive wood element spiritual energy again, gathering in the air to form a mysterious nine-character rune.
The rune seemed to intentionally let Ye Li see clearly how it was constructed. Extremely rich green wood-type spiritual energy continued to repeat the rune drawing process in the air.
The majestic voice from before also sounded again: "Congratulations on passing the trial of the Wood Element Land. Remember this Wood Element Talisman Key and draw it out, then you can leave this trial land."
Following the instructions, Ye Li memorized the runes that kept repeating in front of him and drew them out on the spot. The surrounding wood spiritual energy instantly transformed into a green light gate that appeared in the middle of the stone platform.
Ye Li looked at the green gate in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in. After a flash of black and light in front of his eyes, he appeared near a black nine-story tower, and there were three people resting around him.
… … … … …
In the lair of the Crystal-Eyed Treasure Ape, the two brothers of the Cao family were waiting outside the trial site. Suddenly, the cave in front of them closed without any warning.
Cao Wenhou was stunned for a moment, then understood and said, "It seems that Brother Ye Li has passed the test!
It's normal to think about it. If even he can't pass the test, who else can?"
After being surprised, Cao Wenhou showed an expression of taking it for granted.
Cao Wende nodded and said, "Brother, we are really lucky. How did you happen to choose Brother Ye Li as your ally?"
Cao Wenhou glanced at his simple and somewhat silly brother, sighed and said, "I didn't just pick him by chance, I actually saw him at the Ye family's dinner party, so I went up to make friends with him.
At that time, we saw so many people coming. If we had a powerful ally, we would both be safer.
The facts prove that my judgment is correct. If I hadn't walked with Brother Ye Li beforehand, it is very likely that we would be among the people lying here today."
Although Cao Wenhou's expression was still simple and honest at this time, his eyes were more wise.
Cao Wende touched the back of his head and said, "Brother, you are awesome. If I hadn't met you, I would have been exploring alone and I really don't know what I would have encountered. This mission to the Rune Secret Land is really dangerous.
Oh, brother, what should we do next? "
Cao Wenhou thought for a moment and said, "According to what my father said before, this rune secret place has ten areas. We have a total of 140 people this time. If we average it out, there should be 14 people in each area.
Nine of us have died since we entered the Crystal-Eyed Ape's lair this time. Brother Ye Li probably went to the Rune Tower after passing the trial, so there shouldn't be many rune masters left in this area.
I think if we stay in the Wood Element area to explore, the chances of encountering other children from noble families won't be that high, and it will also reduce some of the danger and competition.
We each got three waist badges and other things. There will definitely be a lot of rewards from the family when we return. Next, we just need to find more medicinal herbs and spiritual treasures."
Cao Wende naturally nodded. He had no opinion of his own and followed Cao Wenhou's arrangements in everything.
… … … … …
At this time, Ye Li was standing not far from the nine-story tower. Behind him was a five-meter-high stone tablet with a series of rune marks carved on it.
There were three other people standing next to the other three stone tablets, all looking at him with vigilance.
Ye Li took a look and found that he only knew one of the three people, Luo Kui, the number one among the younger generation of the Luo family.
The reason why he knew the other party was that he had met him by chance when he went into the mountains with Ye Canglong to hunt. Because the other party knew Ye Canglong, they had met once.
Luo Kui also recognized Ye Li. After all, Ye Li was the first in the Ye family competition. The Luo family’s intelligence would definitely include an introduction to Ye Li. As the first among the younger generation in the family, Luo Kui would definitely pay attention to him.
The relationship between the Luo family, the Ye family and the Cao family has always been unsatisfactory, but the remaining two people are from the Zhong family of Dongshan City and the Tian family of Dongshan City respectively. Naturally, Luo Kui and Ye Li will not show excessive hostility.
After the four of them looked at each other for a while, they nodded to each other, and the man from the Tian family in Dongshan City said, "I wonder what the name of this new brother from the Ye family is. My name is Tian Bula.
This is the Zhong Zhenshan brother from the Zhong family, and this is the Luo Kui brother from the Luo family."
Tian Bula was a little fat, and he looked very friendly. He took the initiative to smile and talk to Ye Li. Ye Li glanced at him. Since the other party showed a friendly attitude, he naturally would not say anything bad to him. He also smiled and said, "I am Ye Li from the Ye family. I meet Brother Tian, Brother Zhong and Brother Luo."
When they heard Ye Li's name, Tian Bula and Zhong Zhenshan's eyes lit up and they couldn't help but look at him again.
Tian Bula showed some surprise on his face and said, "So you are the champion of this year's Ye family competition. I am so sorry for that."
Zhong Zhenshan glanced at Tian Bula, sneered, and said, "Tian Bula, you don't have to pretend to be kind here.
Everyone who comes here is qualified to enter the Rune Tower. There will be a fierce battle between the ten people, and no one will show mercy. There is no point in trying to get close to them now.
Besides, you, Tian Bula, are known as the Smiling Tiger. In our Dongshan City, you are famous for your smiling face but hidden dagger. Are you up to some evil plan again? "
Hearing Zhong Zhenshan reveal his past, a trace of hostility flashed across Tian Bula's originally kind eyes, and he said, "Zhong Zhenshan, there is still a test before entering the tower. Only those who can make it to the end will have a competition. Brother Ye Li and I may not become opponents in the end.
Besides, it takes ten people's rune keys to open the Rune Tower. Before the tower is opened, we won't become enemies. Why are we chatting unfriendly? Are we just glaring at each other here?"
Hearing what Tian Bula said, Zhong Zhenshan showed disdain on his face and stopped talking, looking like he didn't want to say any more to Tian Bula.
After the previous battle, Ye Li's mentality has changed to some extent, and he is wary of those who participated in the exploration of the rune secret land.
When he heard Zhong Zhenshan say that Tian Bula was called a smiling tiger, he became even more alert.
After being disturbed by Zhong Zhenshan, Tian Bula seemed to have no interest in continuing to get close to Ye Li. The four of them sat in front of the stone tablet that teleported them here and fell into silence.
