On the afternoon of the fifth day after the forbidden area was opened, the Danjie elders of the seven sects took action again and blasted open the forbidden area's formation. The dark passage opened again. This time, I don't know how many people could walk out.
The strange fluctuations coming from the top of his head made Luo Hong slowly open his closed eyes. He stood up and put his hands behind his back, exuding an arrogant aura, fully entering the identity of Zhuo Bufan, a casual cultivator from the secular world.
"So, who will be the first lucky person?"
At this time, a middle-aged Taoist priest from the Qingxu Sect hiding in the forest stared at the rain curtain that almost covered the entire grassland, frowning.
"The passage is open, but the rain is weird. I have never heard of it raining in the forbidden area, and it happens to be at the exit. I'm afraid it's a trick used by some trial disciple."
The middle-aged Taoist priest is not the first trialist to come to this forest. In fact, there are two weak mana auras in his perception. It seems that they should be the cannon fodder trialists who have been hiding in the periphery from the beginning.
In order to avoid the strong people returning from the central area, these people often wait at the exit half a day in advance so that they can go out as soon as the passage is opened.
The middle-aged Taoist priest has the thirteenth level of Qi refining and is one of the top practitioners in the Qingxu Sect. Originally, he would not have arrived so early, but during a fight with a disciple from Spirit Beast Mountain, he was killed.
He was poisoned by the opponent's spiritual beast.
Although he finally killed him, he was unable to get rid of the poison in his body and could only temporarily suppress it with elixirs, which prevented him from fighting for a long time.
It was too dangerous to collect medicine in the central area in this state. In order to obtain more elixirs, he came to the ring forest in advance to hunt the cannon fodder testers. After all, even though they were only exploring the periphery, the elixirs they collected were likely to be
One or two plants, but if you kill a few more, the harvest will still be considerable.
However, the middle-aged Taoist priest's plan failed because of the strange rain curtain in front of him.
He didn't want to act without authorization before he understood the reality of Rain Curtain, so he hid himself, hoping that some testers who couldn't resist would enter Rain Curtain to investigate.
Unfortunately, after waiting for half a day, no one took the initiative to walk into the rain curtain. Apparently all the testers in the forest had the same idea as him.
The appearance of a strange rain curtain makes the ring forest, which should have been filled with constant fighting, become quiet and peaceful. However, this situation will not last long. If you cannot get out of the forbidden area before the passage is closed, the trialists who remain in the forbidden area will mysteriously disappear. Although the details are not known
Reason, but 80% of them were killed by the ban in the forbidden area.
So, now it's just the calm before the storm.
"The hissing elixir can no longer suppress the poison in the body!"
Now that the passage has just been opened, there is still half a day before it closes, but the middle-aged Taoist priest can't afford to wait. In half an hour at most, he will be poisoned, and he will have to use a lot of magic power to suppress it, which will greatly reduce his strength.
The middle-aged Taoist priest's eyes narrowed, then he stepped on the branches and rushed towards the rain curtain.
"Hmph! Instead of letting others slaughter you after your strength is greatly reduced, it is better to fight now!"
With the middle-aged Taoist priest taking the lead, the cannon fodder testers hiding in the forest also approached the rain curtain in unison.
Although they are not as poisonous as the middle-aged Taoist priests, they still cannot afford to delay them. If they wait any longer, the strong men who have returned from the central area will arrive.
These people are not very strong and would choose to hide until now. Naturally, their spirits are not high, so they just stayed vigilant after discovering other trialists and had no intention of taking action. They allowed the middle-aged Taoist priests to open the way ahead so that they could enjoy the success.
"Senior Brother Zhou, someone seems to have set up a formation here. Do we really want to go in?"
The delicate body of the girl in yellow shirt trembled slightly. This trip to the forbidden area really frightened her.
"This is the only way to go. Besides, with so many comrades here, even if there is danger, it won't necessarily be our disaster. It's better than facing those strong men who kill without blinking an eye. Let's go."
The little Taoist priest held out the Bagua Pan and protected him and the girl in yellow as they walked into the rain.
...
"Here we come, led by a person from the 13th level of Qi Refining, followed by eight people who have just entered the 12th level of Qi Refining. Haha, there are two acquaintances among them."
Luo Hong became slightly excited, and with a pinch of the magic technique in his hand, abundant water spiritual energy emerged from the surrounding rain curtain, and a light blue shield condensed around him in a few breaths.
Then, Luo Hong cast several protective spells on his own and used the Spirit-Swallowing Shield.
In this way, even if someone uses a powerful talisman to sneak attack, he can still resist.
The distance of two miles is not long at all for a cultivator. The middle-aged Taoist priest soon arrived about a hundred feet away from the entrance of the passage, and saw Luo Hong's blurry figure through the rain curtain.
It seems that he is the one who is causing trouble here.
The middle-aged Taoist priest slowed down his progress, took out his magical weapon, and slowly approached Luo Hong.
When he reached a distance of thirty feet, he finally saw clearly the appearance of the man who was causing trouble.
The man in yellow and the iron mask is him!
The middle-aged Taoist priest immediately recalled the Iron Masked Man in Huang Maple Valley who his elders asked him to pay special attention to before leaving. At that time, the elders also asked him to wait for an opportunity to get rid of this person, so he was extremely impressed.
"Taoist priest, stay back and don't cross the line!"
Hearing the cold warning from the Man in the Iron Mask, the middle-aged Taoist priest glanced around and found a line drawn on the ground in front of him.
"It turns out that you are the junior brother of Huang Maple Valley. What do you want to do with your formation here? I, the Qingxu Sect, have always been on good terms with Huang Maple Valley."
Seeing the layers of protection on the opponent's body, the middle-aged Taoist priest immediately gave up the idea of forcing it, stopped and then started to build friendship.
"Haha, the Blood Trial doesn't care about sect relationships. If you, a Taoist priest like you, want to get out, just hand over two elixirs that are more than three hundred years old to me!"
Luo Hong collects tolls here because he does not want to rob these trialists of all the elixirs collected. Even if he can do it, he must not do it.
If he allowed all the trialists from the other six sects to purify themselves, or even killed them all, it would definitely cause a very serious diplomatic incident among the sects.
Back then, after the six sects discovered that the Hidden Moon Sect had used the Yueyang Orb to harvest a large amount of elixirs in the forbidden area, they immediately united to force the palace. Eventually, the Hidden Moon Sect handed over the Yueyang Orb, and the seven sects took turns holding it.
If Luo Hong really grabs all the elixirs collected in this trial, then the old story of the Hidden Moon Sect will probably happen in Yellow Maple Valley. Besides, the forbidden area may not be opened again for sixty years after this trial.
The consequences will be more serious then.
As the instigator, Luo Hong must have suffered a terrible end.
My purpose is to help Li Huayuan win the bet so that he can agree to my request, which is to do as little unnecessary work as possible.
The toll of two elixirs per person will only make the other six sects feel a little bit sad, but it will not break the balance of the seven sects for thousands of years.
Hearing Luo Hong's request, the middle-aged Taoist priest couldn't help but be startled. He didn't expect that the other party was so bold. This move was tantamount to standing on the opposite side of all the trialists. Isn't he afraid of being besieged to death!
