The white-browed old ape never dreamed that a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir would be unable to escape from the six-armed demon ape. However, the opponent actually advanced instead of retreating, and his magical power was instantly broken.
At this moment, the man in gray has turned his back on himself and has taken hold of his own lifeline!
However, even though his neck was pinched, the white-browed old ape still looked a little dishonest. His eyes rolled slightly, and a monkey paw touched the stone man next to him without leaving any trace.
However, before he could take any further action, he heard a man's voice laughing softly in his ears: "Old patriarch, you are also a demon ape who has attained the Tao and become a spirit. I salute you as 'fellow Taoist'. Don't lose the big for the small.
Please note that in the content of this assessment, there is no rule against killing monsters!"
Although Liang Yan's voice was calm at first, it suddenly became sharp at the end. At the same time, a huge force came out from his palm. The white-browed old ape felt that his body was shaking, and his internal organs were almost moved.
location.
"Slow down, slow down! Ouch! Fellow Taoist, please stop, fellow Taoist, please stop first, we have something to talk about!"
The old ape shouted for mercy repeatedly, and at the same time signaled the monkeys with his eyes. When the surrounding six-armed demon apes who were quietly approaching saw it, they immediately stopped and had to step back.
Liang Yan captured the monkey king and shocked the monkeys. He looked very calm and said lightly: "You and I are strangers. The reason why you ambush Liang here is just that you were entrusted by Wushuang City to conduct the assessment."
It's just to increase the difficulty. In this case, there is no need to fight to the death, what do you think, fellow Taoist?"
While he was asking the question, he secretly increased the force in his hand. The pain made the old ape sweatdrop, and he could only bear the pain and replied: "It is true what fellow Taoist said, as long as you let the old man go, our six-armed demon ape clan will not be in trouble."
with you!"
“So best!”
Liang Yan smiled softly, but had no intention of letting go of the old ape. Instead, he continued to ask: "You just said that Shuiyun Forest is the place where the demon clan in Wushuang City practices, so besides you six-armed demon apes, there are other
A monster?"
"Yes, yes! In addition to our six-armed demon apes, there are also more than 20 monster races such as the powerful bear clan, the golden-eyed fox demon, the flying god wolf, etc., all of which have been appointed by Wushuang City to stop the candidates participating this time.
"
After hearing this, Liang Yan thought for a moment and then asked: "How strong are these monsters?"
"This" the white-browed old ape hesitated for a while, and finally replied with some embarrassment: "Among the more than twenty demon clans in this forest, if we only talk about individual combat abilities, our six-armed demon ape should be at the bottom.
.However, our clan is superior in numbers and is good at the art of transformation, so I will send my clansmen to disperse throughout the forest, disguise themselves as companions of the candidates, coax them here, and then attack them in groups."
"I see."
Liang Yan nodded slightly when he heard this. He had some knowledge of the transformation technique of this six-armed demon ape. Not only did they look exactly the same, but they could even imitate their breath, so they were able to deceive their compass.
"You have always lived in this forest, so you naturally know which routes are guarded by monsters, right?"
"What do you mean?" The white-browed old ape reacted instantly, with a look of dilemma on his face.
"Fellow Taoist, we are destined to meet each other." Liang Yan chuckled and said: "Since you choose not to embarrass Liang, why not help others to the end and take me directly to the second examination room."
"Bah, who is destined for you!" The old ape cursed secretly in his heart, but did not dare to show it. He could only nod and bow, and said with a smile: "What the Taoist friend said is absolutely true. We don't know each other without fighting. The Taoist friend has such magical powers.
, if you really join Wushuang City in the future, don’t forget this fate with our six-armed demon ape clan.”
"Of course!" Liang Yan laughed, and said calmly: "Then I'll ask a few fellow Taoists to lead the way."
The leader of the six-armed ape clan was captured in his hands. The surrounding apes did not dare to act rashly. When they heard that they had reached an agreement, they could only sigh softly and lead the way dejectedly.
During this assessment, the monsters in their Shuiyun Forest were all assigned by Wushuang City to stop candidates from all walks of life. After the assessment is over, Wushuang City will reward them based on their performance.
Although the six-armed apes are not very powerful individually, they are better in numbers and are good at illusions. Before meeting Liang Yan, they had also lured several late-stage Golden Elixir candidates here.
Without exception, these candidates were eliminated by them.
While the white-browed old ape was happy, he also secretly started to compete with other monsters, preparing to eliminate a few more candidates and compete for some rewards.
But I didn’t expect that what Xiaoliu brought back this time would be such a “villain”!
His meticulous observation, strong strength and quick decision-making have exceeded the white-browed old ape's cognition. Not only did he not fall into the trap set by the demon apes in advance, but after he found himself deeply surrounded, he immediately
The decision was made to capture the old ape first.
Now that the head of the family has been captured, all the demon apes dare not disobey and can only lead the way honestly.
Boom, boom!
The huge sound resounded in the Shuiyun Forest, but it was the sound of the stone puppet taking long strides and running through the forest.
Liang Yan didn't have to rush on his own at this time. He stood on the shoulders of the stone puppet, holding the white-browed old ape with one hand, and secretly released his consciousness to carefully explore the surroundings.
Although he said that he had controlled the six-armed demon ape clan, Liang Yan still secretly had more evil intentions.
If these demon apes took him to the territory of other demon tribes, there would inevitably be another fight. He had been delayed a lot of time by Nomu Bai before, but now he did not want to cause more trouble.
Therefore, he maximized the coverage of his spiritual consciousness, so that whenever there were traces of other monsters, he would be able to sense them immediately.
However, the six-armed demon ape obviously had no intention of tricking him. After running wildly in the Shuiyun Forest for nearly an hour, Liang Yan sensed the fluctuation of the monk's aura in front of him.
"This is it."
The huge stone man suddenly stopped, and the old ape on the stone man's shoulder said: "Fellow Daoist Liang, we have reached the boundary of Shuiyun Forest. If you go one step further, you will encounter this time.
The examiner of the assessment is gone, we can only send it here, and then I wish you good luck."
Liang Yan nodded after hearing this, released the white-browed old ape with his right hand, and jumped off the stone man's shoulder.
The old ape regained his freedom, and couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion in his heart. He looked at Liang Yan under the stone man, and suddenly he bowed his hands like a human.
After saluting, the old ape said nothing, stretched out his hand to pat the stone man's shoulder, and led the group of demon apes back along the way they came.
Watching the six-armed demon ape leave, Liang Yan did not stay where he was. He turned around and ran for several miles in the direction pointed by the old ape, when he saw dozens of figures resting in the forest.
"Liang Yan!"
Among the crowd, a voice shouted: "Why are you here so late?"
Liang Yan looked around and saw that it was Ji Lai who greeted him. He suddenly felt a little funny in his heart. After all, he had just met "Ji Lai" not long ago.
"Brother Ji, you came quite early. Didn't you encounter any trouble along the way?" Liang Yan came to Ji Lai and asked casually.
"There are a lot of troubles. I encountered two powerful demon bears in the middle. Each one's strength is comparable to that of the late Golden Core. If I hadn't escaped quickly, I would have been eliminated." Ji Lai said with lingering fear.
"Oh, Liang also encountered a lot of troubles on the road."
Liang Yan nodded. After experiencing the siege by the six-armed demon apes, Liang Yan now knew that this Shuiyun Forest was by no means simple. Being able to pass through many demonic beasts to block it, he was definitely not a simple person.
He looked around and saw that there were fifty-seven candidates here, and at the front of the crowd stood a monk with the head of a human and the body of a bird. At this time, he was holding his wings behind his back and closing his eyes.
repose.
This person is the examiner of the first round, True Lord Lingjiu.
"Fifty-seven people?" Liang Yan thought secretly: "It seems that the assessment in Wushuang City is really strict. The first round has just passed, and more than a hundred candidates have already been rejected by half."
As soon as he looked around the crowd, he saw several familiar faces, including Situ Kuangsheng, Cang Yueming, Mo Haoran, Huangfu Qi and Mu Hanxue.
With Ye Mubai's previous reminder, Liang Yan couldn't help but turn his attention to Mu Hanxue's team of candidates.
I saw a monk wearing black robes standing next to this woman. This man was tall and thin, with a sallow complexion. Although he looked a little sickly, there was a hidden light in his eyes.
"Is he from Gu King Mountain?"
Liang Yan had doubts in his heart and secretly used the method of "Eight Parts of Evolution", but found that he could not see through the reality of this person. On the contrary, the other party seemed to be aware of it and glanced towards this side warily.
Liang Yan knew that if he continued to spy, he would be discovered by this person, so he immediately withdrew his magical powers, turned his eyes to the side, and looked at the crowd pretending to be nonchalant.
"This person has such a keen insight. I just used the 'Bodhi Mirror' to probe a little, and he noticed it." Liang Yan secretly thought in his heart: "On Mu Hanxue's territory that day, that person was hiding in the dark.
Could this be the monk in the cloud?"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was, because the monk in the black cloud had once sacrificed a fifth-grade Gu insect like the "Black Devil Insect", and just now Yemubai said that there was a disciple from Gu King Mountain next to Mu Hanxue.
.
Now it seems that these two people are probably the same person.
"What is the purpose of the monk from Guwang Mountain who has painstakingly joined Wushuang City? If he is here to be a spy, then his level of cultivation is too low. A mere monk in the Golden Core Realm can survive in Wushuang City."
What kind of disturbance is caused in the city?"
Liang Yan thought of this and suddenly remembered that he was now half a spy. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly in his heart and thought to himself: "I am confused. Being an undercover agent does not necessarily require a high level of cultivation. You just need to
It’s good if it can play a role at critical moments. The Seven Mountains and Twelve Cities are all the top forces in the Antarctic Immortal Continent, and it is completely normal to have undercover agents among each other.”
Just when he was thinking secretly in his heart, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and he saw a woman wearing a dragon and tiger Taoist robe walking out of the depths of the jungle.
"Li Xiran?"
Liang Yan was slightly surprised, because Li Xiran looked tired at this time, and there were some blood stains on his clothes. He was obviously seriously injured.
She glanced around the crowd and soon saw Liang Yan and Ji Lai, striding towards them.
"Are you injured?" Liang Yan asked with a frown.
"Well, it didn't hurt the vitals. As long as you cultivate yourself, you will be able to recover soon." Li Xiran nodded tiredly.
"Why is it so embarrassing?" Ji Laiye asked.
"I don't know why, but when I was passing through a muddy forest, four monster beasts that were comparable to those in the late stages of the Golden Core suddenly appeared, and they were extremely ruthless, as if they were going to kill me."
Li Xiran recalled: "These monster beasts were extremely fast, and they didn't want me to escape at all. I was forced to use the Dragon-Tiger Fighting Technique to escape from these four monster beasts in a thrilling way."
Liang Yan and Ji Lai had doubts in their eyes when they heard this. They had seen how powerful Li Xiran's Dragon-Tiger Fighting Technique was before, and even Mu Hanxue couldn't resist it.
The ability of those four monsters to push her to this point was definitely not simple. Looking back on the obstacles she encountered, it was simply nothing compared to a big one.
"It seems that you are unlucky. I met two monsters on the road. Although they are both in the late stage of Jindan, their magical powers are not very strong. I easily got rid of them." Ji Lai shook his folding fan.
Said with some sympathy.
While several people were discussing, Zhenjun Lingjiu, who was standing at the front of the candidates and had been concentrating with his eyes closed before, suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes swept across the crowd, and then he said calmly: "The time has come. It seems that only fifty-eight of you have passed the first round of assessment this year. Okay, come with me."
After the Lord Lingjiu said these words, he turned around and took long steps to lead the way.
Many candidates present were excited when they knew that they had passed the first round of tests and followed the examiner happily.
Naturally, Liang Yan and others would not stop. They also followed the examiner and walked out of Shuiyun Forest in less than half a cup of tea.
Outside the forest is a valley surrounded by mountains and lush green grass.
In the middle of the grassland, a middle-aged man was standing.
This man was wearing a set of linen robes. He was tall and muscular, with swarthy Chinese characters on his face and three scars that were deeply visible, making him look very attractive.
"Fellow Taoist Yue, I have brought you all the people, and the rest will be left to you."
True Lord Lingjiu changed his previous indifferent attitude and bowed his hands respectfully towards the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn't answer, just nodded slightly, then looked at everyone, and looked at the candidates who came here one by one.
Many candidates present felt as if they were being swept away by his sharp gaze, as if all their secrets had been seen through by the person in front of them, and there was nothing to hide from them!
"I am your examiner for the second round, Shura Gongyue Zhengyang!" the middle-aged man said slowly.
