After saying this, Lu Meir said as a matter of course: "Of course it is..."
Before she finished speaking, Sha Yanyan chuckled and said, "Little girls' ideas are interesting... How can you help Brother Xiao by going in? Are you proficient in formations, or do you know the secrets of the Liu clan? No, you are none of them. What you can do, Yanyan can do, and what you can't do, Yanyan can still do... Tell me, why did Brother Xiao choose you?"
"You!—You're talking nonsense!"
Lu Meir immediately became anxious and quickly cast a pitiful look at Chu Tianxiao...
Chu Tianxiao couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Stop it, Yanyan, you know I can't leave Mei'er here alone."
After the words fell, Lu Meir's eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded repeatedly, but Sha Yanyan sighed softly: "Yanyan didn't lie, this test can only accommodate two people at most... Brother Xiao, you don't really want to bring this little girl in, do you? Woo woo, what about Yanyan, she is afraid of the dark, don't abandon her..."
"Bah! You vixen, you are so shameless... Actually, I am afraid of the dark too..."
Seeing another Shura battle, Chu Tianxiao was feeling a headache, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind...
"Wait... Yanyan, you said that it can only accommodate two people at most. Does that mean that I can enter alone and challenge twice?"
After saying this, Sha Yanyan was choked up and stammered, "Maybe...right?"
"That's no problem." Chu Tianxiao nodded, "I'll go in alone, and you two will wait here for me... Well, after the formation is activated, we can connect to this place."
"... That's fine, but Brother Xiao, are you really not considering taking her with you? This test is very difficult, and you may not be able to handle it alone..."
"Bah, you vixen are pretending again, don't think that I can't see through your little tricks..."
"... That's enough." Chu Tianxiao shook his head to stop the quarrel between the two. He took a step forward, put the two women's hands together, and said solemnly: "When I go through the level, you must support each other and take care of each other. Do you understand?"
As soon as the words fell, the two girls pointed at each other at the same time and screamed: "Brother Tianxiao (Brother Xiao), you want me and this vixen (little girl) to take care of each other?!"
“… You’re so in sync? That’s settled then.” Chu Tianxiao nodded. The two girls immediately became anxious and held onto his arms, constantly saying bad things about each other. However, Chu Tianxiao had already made up his mind, so how could he be persuaded by a few words from them
Helplessly, the two women glared at each other, and then shook hands reluctantly, no matter how fake the smiles on the surface were, or how sharp the hidden lightning in their eyes was... But no matter what, they finally reached a temporary "alliance".
"Well... Yanyan has a mysterious origin and a good cultivation base, and Mei'er has become the 'Goddess of Love'. The two of them working together should be able to handle the situation here... This place doesn't seem to be a dangerous place..."
Thinking of this, Chu Tianxiao turned around and walked towards the "bronze door" directly below the altar. Seeing this, Sha Yanyan muttered something, but did not hesitate. With a raised orchid finger, he cast a spell and immediately added two circular halos on Chu Tianxiao's hands...
After that, Chu Tianxiao easily opened the door...
A thin white light appeared in the door, twisting into a vortex. In just a moment, he felt the surrounding scene begin to spin, and the sea of spiritual soul rolled. It took a lot of effort to stabilize...
When Chu Tianxiao felt a little better, he immediately began to explore the surroundings with his soul. Not long after he started exploring, he was slightly surprised.
…
…
The endless red land was covered with cracks, the blood-red sky seemed to have been severely damaged and was still dripping with blood, and countless desolate rocks were scattered around, all of them red without exception...
Between some stones, Chu Tianxiao could faintly feel a strange and ethereal aura.
Looking closely, there was a piece of red-yellow sand not far away. A violent wind was sweeping above it, revealing a sandworm with a huge and ferocious head and only one scarlet eye. Its huge body shuttled through the sand, bringing up gusts of sand storms. Weird cries came one after another, sounding as sharp and disgusting as fingers rubbing on glass. And judging from the rolling sand waves, there were more than one of them!
"... A ferocious beast... Judging from its aura, it seems to be a fourth-level beast..."
Chu Tianxiao pondered secretly, thinking that this sandworm must be more than just a fourth-level beast. It looked difficult to deal with. In addition, they were in the desert, moving freely, and their attacks and defenses were more flexible and changeable, so it was even more difficult to deal with them...
But that’s not the point…
The terrible thing is that my current cultivation level...
"…Imprisoned?"
Chu Tianxiao secretly circulated his true energy, but found that all the true energy channels in the Snow Mountain Qi Sea were blocked... In other words, he was now just an "ordinary person" with more sensitive reactions!
Challenging a fourth-order beast as an "ordinary person"
Stop kidding!
"… What exactly is this level testing… Could it be intelligence? But once I am sealed, there is such a huge gap between my strength and the opponent's, and the opponent is obviously a low-IQ beast that cannot communicate. How can I defeat him with wisdom?" Chu Tianxiao pondered for a moment, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the stone he had seen before...
His eyes suddenly rolled and he slowly moved over.
Although we don't know what these stones are, we can only treat them as living ones.
Chu Tianxiao acted as soon as he was told. He quickly walked to the front of the stones and reached out to touch those old and weathered stones. Then, a green light flashed, and those stones filled with spiritual energy suddenly all flew into the air with a whoosh, and then slowly condensed and assembled into a human figure.
The simulation is quite similar, but his whole body is made of stones, which makes him look a bit weird.
"It's been so long since the trial, and finally... one has come." The stone man shook his head and spoke incoherently, "But since... he's here, let's... start..."
After seeing the corpse before, Chu Tianxiao's heart skipped a beat when he saw this seemingly alive... "Stone Man". But soon, he looked away and said calmly to the stone man: "Senior, what on earth is this..."
"Listen... Alright..." The stone man interrupted and said slowly, "Trialist... answer my three... questions..."
"Every time you answer a question correctly... your strength... will... recover by one major realm..."
At this point, the stone man paused, and then continued: "Did you see... those sandworms...?"
"That is... a fourth-level, one-eyed sand beast. No one... can kill it... below the peak of Tongxuan... So, you have to... answer all the questions correctly... to have a fighting chance..."
"Of course... it's very difficult for a Tongxuan... to fight a fourth-level... if you don't have enough talent... you will also fail..."
