The aura of Qinghua Vice-President's body subsided and she once again looked like an eighty or ninety-year-old woman.
She said to the ten young students sitting on the back of the gryphon: "There are many extremely powerful beasts living in the Demon Ridge. Some of them, even if I encounter them, I can only run away."
"The further you go into the depths of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, the more powerful the beasts you encounter will become. If you enter the Heavenly Demon Ridge for training in the future, be sure not to venture into the depths. For you, there are many restricted areas in the Heavenly Demon Ridge."
The griffin flapped its wings and continued to fly in the direction of the Red Sky Secret Mansion.
After half a day, we came to a deserted area.
It is said that the battle between the human army and the four-winged earth dragon reduced this land to ruins, and to this day not a single blade of grass grows.
Under the ground, a huge canyon opened up that was several thousand meters long and two hundred meters wide. It went straight down and was bottomless. It was like the mouth of the earth, capable of swallowing up everything in the world.
Standing on the edge of the canyon, looking towards the ground, it was pitch black, and I could only see wisps of black miasma emerging from the ground.
On the edge of the canyon, a narrow stone staircase was dug down, leading deep into the ground.
It is said that the underground is the lair where the four-winged earth dragon once lived, the Chikong Secret Mansion.
When the Vice President of Qinghua led ten students from the West Campus to the top of the canyon, all the students from the East Campus, North Campus, and South Campus were already standing on the edge of the canyon.
The vice-chancellor of the East Campus smiled coldly and said, "Vice-Principal Qinghua, you guys from the West Campus are too late. Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."
The vice president of Qinghua held the wooden staff and staggered, saying: "On the way here, I encountered a mysterious dragon, and I came a step late."
The vice president of the East Campus said: "According to the old rules, the order of entering the intermediate ruins must be in the order we came here. Therefore, this year, the students of the West Campus will be the fourth in line to enter."
"No problem!" said the Vice President of Qinghua.
The first ones to arrive at the mouth of the canyon were the students from the East Campus, so the tenth-ranked student from the East Campus was the first to enter the intermediate ruins.
The tenth ranked student in the East Campus is Dugu Lin.
Dugu Lin stepped onto the stone stairs leading to the ground, used his movement skills, and quickly rushed towards the ground.
About three minutes later, standing at the edge of the canyon, Dugu Lin could no longer be seen.
The tenth ranked student from the North Campus also entered the canyon and rushed underground.
Next is the tenth ranked student from South College.
When the tenth-ranked student from the South Campus also disappeared underground, Zi Qian, the tenth-ranked student from the West Campus, walked towards the underground.
Students who take the intermediate ruins exploration exam must enter the underground one by one. Moreover, students with lower rankings go in first, and students with higher rankings go in later.
The reason for following this method is actually to prevent students from killing each other.
After low-level students enter first, they can immediately go to the depths of the Chikong Secret Mansion, or hide themselves.
If a high-level student goes in first, he may wait at a certain entrance underground and kill the low-level students behind him.
Xun Guihai stood among the students in the east courtyard, staring at Zhang Ruochen with cold eyes, not hiding the killing intent in his eyes at all, and feeling very angry in his heart, "Zhang Ruochen, what if you are engaged to Princess Yanchen? As long as you die in red,
Kongmi Mansion, Princess Yanchen will already be my woman by then."
He glanced at Guo Haidong, the fifth-ranked student in the East Campus next to him, and said in a low voice: "Guo Haidong, you entered the Chikong Secret Mansion before Zhang Ruochen. You can wait for him underground. Once he enters the Chikong Secret Mansion, you must do it at all costs."
To kill him."
Guo Haidong received five drops of Semi-Saint Essence given to him by Xun Guihai, and he has promised to help Xun Guihai kill Zhang Ruochen.
Guo Haidong smiled confidently and said: "Senior Brother Xun, I am the 874th ranked master in the "Xuanbang". It is absolutely easy to kill Zhang Ruochen."
Xun Guihai said solemnly: "Don't be careless. Although Zhang Ruochen's martial arts realm is not as good as yours, his sword will realm has reached the peak of the sword. If you find that you are not Zhang Ruochen's opponent, try your best to delay him."
Hold him, as long as Lang Xin arrives and the two of you attack him, Zhang Ruochen will be unable to fly."
Xun Guihai glanced at Lang Xin who was standing beside him.
Lang Xin nodded and said: "Zhang Ruochen dares to snatch Senior Brother Xun's woman, then he is going against our East Campus."
Langxin ranked fourth in the East Campus, and ranked 580th in "Xuanbang".
Duanmu Xingling stared at the students in the east courtyard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and reminded: "Junior brother, after you enter Chikong Secret Mansion, you must be careful of Guo Haidong and Lang Xin in the east courtyard. They are both Xuanbang warriors.
They are extremely powerful, and one enters the Chikong Secret Mansion in front of you, and the other enters the Chikong Secret Mansion behind you. If the two of them join forces to deal with you, it will be difficult for you to escape even if you want to."
Zhang Ruochen followed Duanmu Xingling's gaze and happened to see the two young students standing next to Xun Guihai. He wrote down their appearance. He said: "It will be quite dangerous to enter the Chikong Secret Mansion. Senior Sister Duanmu, you
Be careful too."
At this moment, Guo Haidong, who ranked fifth in the East Campus, walked towards the mouth of the canyon. Before walking down the stone stairs, he glanced at Zhang Ruochen, curled his lips slightly, and showed a cruel smile.
Immediately afterwards, the fifth student from the North Campus and the fifth student from the South Campus also entered the canyon. Finally, it was Zhang Ruochen's turn.
As soon as Zhang Ruochen reached the edge of the canyon, he felt a little dizzy, which was a sign of poisoning.
The miasma in the canyon was very powerful. Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen wore the poison-avoiding beads on his body, which blocked most of the miasma. Otherwise, even if he just breathed in a breath of miasma, Zhang Ruochen would be poisoned and faint on the ground.
Zhang Ruochen mobilized Yujing's true energy and circulated it in his meridians for a week, immediately purifying the poisonous energy in his body and restoring his health.
Using the wind-controlling flying dragon shadow's footwork, Zhang Ruochen reached his fastest speed, like a spiritual ape jumping on a steep cliff, flying towards the ground.
There are only three minutes. After three minutes, Lang Xin, the fourth master of the East Campus, will enter the underground.
If Guo Haidong, the fifth master of the East Academy, is really waiting for him underground, then he must get rid of Guo Haidong within three minutes. Otherwise, once he is attacked by two Xuanbang warriors, it will be very difficult for Zhang Ruochen.
, will be quite disadvantageous.
Although Zhang Ruochen is sure to defeat anyone from Guo Haidong and Lang Xin, who can guarantee that they don't carry any killing moves?
Once you enter Chikong Secret Mansion, you can use any means, and it is not as simple as a simple martial arts competition.
The canyon was extremely deep. Zhang Ruochen ran down the stone stairs for more than a thousand meters, but still did not reach the ground.
Standing underground, the surroundings were pitch black.
Zhang Ruochen looked up and saw that the mouth of the canyon, which was originally several kilometers long, was now as big as the eye of a needle, emitting a faint white light. It felt like a tiny white gap in the dark night sky.
Zhang Ruochen felt as if he was being swallowed by the earth and would never see the light of day again.
If you are a person with poor psychological quality, you will feel extremely frightened at this time and may even collapse.
Zhang Ruochen looked down. Deep in the ground, a dark red color appeared, and a heat wave surged up.
"If there are really many evil people and the devils are imprisoned underground, it will indeed be quite a torture for them.
Zhang Ruochen brought his true energy to his eyes and continued to rush towards the ground. The temperature in the air was getting higher and higher, and the rocks were also very hot.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen purchased a cold essence and ice soul in advance and hung it around his neck. Not only did Zhang Ruochen not feel the heat, but he also felt very cool.
I don't know how deep into the ground I reached, but finally I reached the bottom, and a huge stone door appeared in front of me.
The stone gate is one hundred and thirty meters high and twenty-seven meters thick. The surface of the stone layer is inlaid with black iron, forming the shape of an iron dragon.
Two huge stone doors, weighing an unknown amount of tens of thousands of kilograms, have now opened a two-meter-wide gap.
Zhang Ruochen pressed his palm on the stone door, circulated his whole body's energy, and pushed hard.
The stone gate remained motionless.
"The stone gate is so heavy. It is estimated that only the Tianji Realm experts from Wu City Academy can push the stone gate."
Zhang Ruochen stared at the gap in the door, which was only two meters wide, his eyes narrowed slightly and he became cautious.
"Time and Space Realm!"
Zhang Ruochen released the space-time domain, covering a space of eighty meters in radius, and used the power of the space-time domain to detect whether Guo Haidong was hiding behind the stone gate.
A moment later, Zhang Ruochen detected Guo Haidong's aura in the space-time realm.
Zhang Ruochen took out the Snow Dragon Sword, dragged the sword and walked towards the stone door.
"boom!"
As soon as Zhang Ruochen stepped into the stone door, a red spear, carrying a wave of hot fire, stabbed Zhang Ruochen's back.
Zhang Ruochen had already been prepared, his body ejected, and he easily dodged the spear attack.
He jumped five meters high and stabbed Guo Haidong in the neck with his sword.
Guo Haidong felt a chill on his neck, his face changed, and he immediately retracted his spear and quickly retreated, narrowly dodging Zhang Ruochen's sword.
After escaping the sword, Guo Haidong was still a little frightened, thinking to himself, how did he know that I was hiding behind the stone door?
Zhang Ruochen took back the Snow Dragon Sword, stared at Guo Haidong, and said, "That sword strike just now was a warning to you. If you still want to kill me, I won't be polite!"
Guo Haidong held the spear and put away his fear. He recalled what Xun Guihai told him. If he couldn't defeat Zhang Ruochen, he would hold him back until Lang Xin arrived. They could combine their efforts to deal with Zhang Ruochen.
Guo Haidong smiled slightly, bowed his hands, and said: "You are worthy of being the number one freshman in the Fourth Academy, and your martial arts skills are admirable. In fact, I just want to test your skills, and I have no real intention to take action."
How could Zhang Ruochen fail to see Guo Haidong's intention and said: "If you still don't give up, I guarantee you that you will not be able to walk out of the Chikong Secret Mansion alive."
Seeing Zhang Ruochen's eyes, the smile on Guo Haidong's face also disappeared. Although he was afraid of Zhang Ruochen's sword skills, he also had a trump card. Even if he was not Zhang Ruochen's opponent, he could definitely hold Zhang Ruochen back for a few minutes.
