Looking at the towering mountains that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, all the disciples were a little surprised and were discussing among themselves.
Qi Wei and Xue Ziping called out to everyone, signaling them to stop talking and listen to them.
The same was true for the other three holy places. The elders who led the teams began to announce something to the disciples.
After Qi Wei saw that everyone had quieted down, he said, "Everyone, this is the Holy War Field. Your competition with the other three holy places will be held here. I will first explain the rules of the competition to you.
You see that high mountain opposite? That is the final venue of the competition.
After you pass through the portal outside, you will be teleported to different areas near the mountain. Your first task is to reach the top of the mountain within three days.
It is noon now and the sun is directly above our heads, which means that after it appears above our heads twice more, you will have to rush to the top of the opposite mountain.
Of course, this is the first condition for passing the first test. The second condition is that among those who arrive on time, we will only select the sixteen people who arrive first.
That is to say, even if you arrive there on time, but you are one step behind the other sixteen people, you will still be eliminated.
Therefore, your task is not only to arrive within the specified time limit, but also to arrive as early as possible.
There will be various monsters and other dangers along the way to hinder your progress. You must overcome these things and rush to the mountains as quickly as possible.
If you meet other people along the way, you must be careful because everyone is a competitor.
Killing is allowed here, so if you encounter a situation where you can't win, find a way to escape.
After all, the enemy's goal is to get to the mountain as quickly as possible. If you run in the opposite direction, they generally won't chase you too far, and wasting time will not be worth it for them. "
Well, that’s all I can say about the situation here.
Next, you will leave the valley one by one through the portal next to it, and remember to get to the opposite mountain as early as possible."
After Qi Wei spoke, the originally harmonious atmosphere around them immediately became a little awkward. It was as if an invisible wall had suddenly been erected between the former acquaintances, and they began to be on guard against each other.
Seeing the change in atmosphere, Qi Wei did not think it was inappropriate. After all, this was a battle for rankings.
There are no rules prohibiting killing. If you are not careful, anyone can die at the hands of others, so it is always a good idea to be more cautious.
After the game is over, everyone no longer has conflicts of interest, and at that time everyone will let down their guard against each other, and the relationship between everyone can return to normal.
The four holy places announced the completion of the rules at almost the same time, and then everyone began to freely choose the portal to enter.
There are four portals in total. No matter which one you enter, you will be teleported to a different place, so no matter which one you choose, it will make no difference. Ye Li also chose a nearby portal to enter.
After walking into the portal, Ye Li arrived in a gray jungle after a flash of light. The originally lively atmosphere around him suddenly turned into dead silence, which made Ye Li a little dazed.
The mountain was right in front of him. Although it didn't seem too far away, Ye Li knew that he would die if he tried to reach the mountain. Since he was given a deadline of three days, it would not be easy to reach the mountain quickly.
Looking at the gray jungle in front of him, Ye Li felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird.
He originally thought that the reason why it was gray here was because the dense tree canopies blocked the sunlight. However, when he looked up, he found that there were no tree canopies here at all.
Although the surrounding trees are quite tall, the tops of their trunks are basically bare, with only a few sparse leaves hanging on them.
The twisted and bent tree trunks were also grey and looked dead.
The reason why this forest looks so dark is because there seems to be an invisible barrier above the surrounding woods, blocking the sunlight, which makes this area look very gloomy.
Ye Li looked around and saw that there seemed to be a particularly tall tree deep in the jungle. Even though Ye Li was standing at the edge of the forest, he could still see the thick trunk of the tree.
However, the direction of the big tree was completely different from the mountain. The mountain was right in front of him, while the big tree was deep in the jungle on the left. After thinking about it, Ye Li decided not to go over to see what was going on, because he also had to hurry.
"Ye Li, be careful, I feel this place is not that simple!"
The voice of Tunri sounded in Ye Li’s mind.
"Well, I feel like there's something unusual here, filled with the breath of death."
Hearing Tunri's reminder, Ye Li responded, and then he walked into the gray jungle in front of him.
In this jungle, the trees actually grow very loosely, and there is a very long distance between each tree.
However, Ye Li's sight still could not reach far. There seemed to be an invisible thing in the air here that could block his sight, and things in the distance gradually became blurred.
After looking around, Ye Li did not find anything special. After feeling carefully, he did not see any signs of monsters. So he did not be overly cautious and quickly increased his speed.
As he walked forward, he observed the changes around him. Soon, a pile of bones that appeared nearby caught his attention.
This pile of bones did not belong to humans in life, but to some kind of monster. The size of the bones is very astonishing. Ye Li estimated that if this monster was still alive, it would be at least three meters tall.
However, based solely on the bones on the ground, Ye Li was unable to determine what species the monster was.
After observing the bones for a while, Ye Li said to Tunri, "Senior Tunri, there is a pile of animal bones here. I don't know if there are other monsters that were killed here."
Tunri took a look and said, "It doesn't look like that. Look at this pile of bones. There is not even a scratch on it. It obviously doesn't look like they were killed and eaten.
If it was not killed or eaten by a monster, then it should have died of natural causes.
Look at the shape of the pile of bones. It doesn't look like a skeleton lying on the ground after a natural death. It looks like a pile of bones that were rummaged through and thrown together casually."
Hearing Tunri's words, Ye Li reacted immediately.
He also felt that there was something wrong with this pile of bones, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Now, after being reminded by Tunri, he suddenly realized that this was indeed the biggest suspicious point on the pile of bones.
