Suddenly, Lin You opened his palm, and the direction paper he held in it flew out on its own.
Immediately afterwards, the slashes engraved on the paper began to fall off one by one.
The eight slashes soon fell off, leaving not one left!
The direction paper that has lost all its energy is like a puppet with its strings broken, falling lightly.
Before it hit the ground, it disappeared in mid-air.
It's not just him.
Anyone who holds the direction paper will involuntarily open their palms at this moment, and pieces of direction paper will float out.
The slash energy is also constantly disappearing.
The sudden scene made everyone stunned.
This... what is going on?
How come all the slash energy has been stripped away?
Is it because of the unknown monster?
But what about the monster man?
I didn’t even see a shadow!
Everyone is puzzled. This situation has never been imagined!
The key is...this energy disappears too quickly.
Xia Mu, Song Ming and others who were holding the direction paper had just reacted, but their energy had already dissipated, and there was no room for recovery!
The air is a little solid.
Everyone was silent.
After a long time, Dong Shichang held his head and exclaimed: "It's over, it's over, the energy has dissipated, and the last way to deal with it is gone. We'd better stay here honestly, and don't waste all our efforts in the end."
Song Ming frowned and said: "Don't talk about this in a hurry. Why did the energy dissipate so suddenly? Did we miss a link? Or is it that even if the monster appears in a corner that we don't know, it can still devour it from a distance?
energy?"
Xia Mu thought for a while and said: "Perhaps, we shouldn't be here. The owner of the magic field probably doesn't want to see us living in such a 'sanctuary' all the time, and warns us in this way. These energies,
It may not really disappear, it is actually the same as the heart shadow, and it will change depending on the environment."
"But what if I can't recover?"
Dong Shichang said worriedly: "If this happens, even if the slash energy was really enough to kill the monster, now it will be a missed opportunity."
What he advocated was still to wait, and not to be in a hurry to leave the underworld.
Anyway, people have been liberated and the task has been completed. Now the priority is to protect the interests.
Everyone was confused again. At this time, it was really hard to decide whether to go or stay.
At this time, Lin You smiled and said: "What you said all makes sense, and each of you has your own ideas. At this time, you should decide how to choose. The discussion just now can be used as a reference. Combined with your thoughts, you can think of
Now that it’s clear, it doesn’t matter if we go out again.”
As he said that, he walked towards the door and said, "I'll make the decision for myself first. I just want to see if the description in the book is exaggerated."
After that, without saying much, he was the first to walk out the door.
At this moment, there were two people holding the direction paper, Xia Mu and Song Ming.
Seeing Lin You leaving, he couldn't help but look at the teammates he met during this trip to the underworld.
Xia Mu chuckled and said, "I'm going to take a look too, what do you think? If possible, I will take this direction paper out."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Yi and added specifically, "Xiao Yi doesn't need to express his position anymore, I'll remember it."
Xiao Yi looked indifferent and ignored it.
If the remaining Du Zhizhong and Qi Yuxuan choose to stay here to take refuge, they will basically not be able to use the direction paper and the slash energy.
Of course, at a critical moment, the energy on paper may be able to resolve a crisis.
After all, it is said that the monster is good at this. Maybe if you give some, it can divert the opponent's attention.
Du Zhizhong said calmly: "Of course I have to go out and have a look. I'm somewhat interested in that monster, and... it's a waste of time to stay here."
"I also think it would be more interesting to see new things."
Qi Yuxuan smiled softly, and several people agreed.
The situation was the same in Song and Ming Dynasties.
Ji Ming decided to leave, and Deng Yuxin couldn't sit still.
At this moment, the groups controlling the direction paper were ready to withdraw.
If Lin You wants to leave, Guo Rui and Chu Ke will naturally not stay.
Even though Guo Rui, who was more inclined to stay in the palace and take refuge, hesitated for a moment and then made his decision.
For a time, Dong Shichang was the only one left standing at the same place.
Seeing this situation, Dong Shichang immediately threw his previous thoughts behind and quickly followed.
In his heart, he still hopes to stay here and wait and see.
But now, the large army is about to move, and he is left alone, so what else can he do to watch?
Leave!
…
Outside the palace.
The people who had just walked out looked around at the situation, feeling somewhat puzzled in their hearts.
Calm and calm!
There were no strange sounds or movements, and even the fog had dispersed quite a bit.
Observing carefully, the sky has turned a little brighter.
I don't know if it's an illusion.
what is this?
The calm before the storm?
Everyone can't figure it out.
Xia Mu and Song Ming immediately observed the direction paper in their hands.
The direction paper at this moment was like a piece of waste paper, sickly and motionless.
"Slash energy...is not restored."
Xia Mu frowned slightly, thoughts swirling in her mind.
Song Ming also couldn't figure out the current situation. Not only did the so-called sky-swallowing monster not appear, but he didn't even see the slightest sign of the accident. This was a bit strange.
Deng Yuxin watched them think for a long time and said carelessly: "It's very simple. The book is talking nonsense. In fact, it is not the case at all. You trust the book too much. Who can be sure that what is recorded in the book is the standard answer."
As soon as these words came out, Xia Mu and Song Ming, who had been thinking about it for a long time, were both stunned.
To the two of them, Deng Yuxin's words had the meaning of waking up people in their dreams.
Is the book nonsense?
is it possible?
Judging from other information that has been verified as true, the content recorded in the book is basically consistent with reality.
But does this ensure that all the information recorded in the book is true?
The answer is mostly no. It is not surprising that a piece of false information is mixed among many pieces of true information.
Xia Mu and Xia Mu are hesitant now only because this information is of great importance and cannot be easily overturned.
After thinking for a long time and unable to come to a conclusion, Xia Mu suddenly looked at Lin You. Seeing that he seemed very calm and calm, he couldn't help but ask: "Lin You, what do you think of the current situation?"
"Pretty good."
Lin Youyou chuckled and said: "The sky-swallowing monster is nowhere to be seen. Everyone is safe and sound. I think you don't need to worry about it anymore. Maybe the exit from the underworld will be opened later, but I don't know for sure."
"Later……"
Xia Mu was speechless, and Song Ming was also slightly startled.
No wonder the two of them are like this, Lin You's idea is actually a bit... too optimistic!
Let’s not talk about whether the sky-swallowing monster is true or not. Even without this monster, no one would think that the entrance to the underworld would be opened so smoothly.
Although it seems quite peaceful now, it actually makes people feel like a storm is coming.
At this moment, Lin You actually also knew that Xia Mu and others...including others could not be as calm and calm as him, and they were somewhat worried.
Very normal.
Lin You himself had concerns about this at first, and thought about how to deal with the sky-swallowing monster and leave the underworld smoothly without any hindrance.
Who doesn’t want this!
I was really eliminated before I left, and my mentality was about to explode.
Once you are eliminated, your points will most likely be reduced sharply.
Others may be fine, but if it were Lin You, if the deduction was 30% to 40% or more, the loss would be too great!
But now, Lin You is really calm.
The calmer outside made him believe in one thing more and more.
The miraculous sky-devouring monster mentioned in the book... is actually that red shadow!
That's right, the red shadow that has now been integrated into Lin You's body...or in other words, the card of origin!
Lin You did not come to such a conclusion easily.
But after the liberation of all, the first thing that appeared abnormal was the Origin Card in his body.
The most important thing is...the slash energy is also integrated into it because of the vibration of this card!
It's like being swallowed by it!
This is exactly the same as the preference of the sky-swallowing monster recorded in the book!
Lin You could feel the integration of those energies.
Moreover, the energy incorporated is not only the slash energy engraved on the direction paper in the hands of Xia Mu and Song Ming, but also the unknown distance.
Unsurprisingly, the energy originating from afar was contributed by Zeng Xi and Zhang Xia.
In other words, all the slash energy was swallowed up by the Origin Card.
After the card of origin that swallowed up these energies continued to fluctuate, a subtle red shadow appeared on the card surface. It was no longer an empty shell with nothing left behind but its outline!
Lin You guessed that the Origin Card has now filled in the slash energy after going through the initial contour shaping period, thus officially entering the second stage!
At this stage, it is still shaping, but what is shaping... is an image!
When the image is successfully outlined, you may not be far away from unlocking the card.
But now it seems that this is still a long process.
After all, after absorbing all the slash energy, it only outlines this tiny red shadow.
It's really appetizing.
But Lin You also understands that you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. If you are too eager for quick success, you will not be able to speed up the progress of body shaping.
At the moment, Lin You's reason for being calm stems from the changes in this card of origin.
Although I can't be 100% sure, I'm pretty close.
If you guess wrong, then you can plan according to the situation... At worst, you can go back and hide in the palace, it's not far behind you anyway.
At this moment, Lin You was calm and unchanging, while the others were more or less wary, quietly observing the changes around them.
In this quiet atmosphere, some time passed again.
Suddenly, in the distance, a red light pillar rose up.
No warning!
The appearance of the light beam shocked everyone.
Why did this beam of light appear again?
Could it be that...the total number of sleeping rooms is actually more than fifteen?
If this is the case, some of the previous predictions will be overturned!
But is this possible?
Everyone is certain that the total number of sleeping houses is fifteen, but the conclusion is based on more than one clue.
The patterns on the side hall, the records in the book, including just now, the slash energy has indeed been exhausted.
These are powerful evidences!
When everyone was shocked by this, suddenly, another red beam of light soared.
But the third, fourth and more!
As if a chain reaction had occurred, red light pillars shot into the sky one after another.
When they stopped, everyone who had been silently counting the number of light beams suddenly felt relieved!
Fifteen seats!
no more, no less!
And these light pillars were all lifted into the sky at the moment.
The sky of the underworld began to tremble in vain!
The mist surged, and the gray-black sky seemed to turn into a pot of soup, with an invisible spoon stirring crazily in it.
A flash of lightning flashed.
Soon, dull thunder sounded.
The sky became darker.
Amidst the thunder, a ghostly cry could be heard faintly.
The changes happened so quickly, and these changes appeared almost in one go.
If it doesn’t change, it will be amazing!
"Let me go, is there really a sky-swallowing monster?"
Guo Rui raised his head and looked up at the sky, feeling horrified.
Everyone also looked at the sky one after another, their eyes either solemn, nervous or curious.
"Everyone, if something goes wrong, remember to retreat to the palace quickly."
Lin You remained calm, but still gave a reminder.
The changes in the sky are quite frightening, and they really feel like the arrival of a ferocious beast.
It's bluffing. It's not like everyone here has never seen it on the market... Well, this spectacular scene has only been seen in card-themed movies in the past.
I am immersed in the scene at this moment, and my heart is still shaken a lot.
But he wasn't too panicked. As Lin You said, the palace was behind him now. If there was danger, just hide inside.
If even the palace cannot protect him, he can only admit defeat.
Everyone looked up at the sky together, watching the slightest change in the sky.
After observing for a while, Xia Mu said softly: "The sky seems to be being stirred. This scene seems a bit familiar."
"Yes!"
Song Ming immediately took over and said: "Similar to the day we entered the underworld, a similar gray and black whirlpool was formed, but this whirlpool is more numerous and bigger!"
Lin You smiled and said: "Normally, it was a whirlpool in the door that day, but now it is the entire sky. Can the scale be the same?"
On the side, Guo Rui was cautious and said with great joy: "Could it be that the exit is really going to be opened and we can go back smoothly?"
"Don't make random guesses, or it may backfire."
Dong Shichang hastily reminded you, don’t set up flags blindly!
Guo Rui coughed dryly and stopped talking, feeling that he meant something like that.
Just wait and see what happens!
In the sky, the whirlpool continued to expand, and in the whirlpool, the light and shadow of some withered arms and piles of skeletons began to flash past.
At first, it was just a few dishes.
Later, it began to grow exponentially, and finally, it became even denser and filled the entire sky.
Just looking at it makes my hair stand on end.
At this moment, a beam of light suddenly projected down from the sky that seemed to turn into a whirlpool.
The light falls somewhere nearby.
It's not too far from here.
Immediately afterwards, a figure soared up along the beam of light.
The speed was very fast, but because the distance was not far, everyone turned on their magic eyes.
As soon as he turned it on, Chu Ke exclaimed, "Ah, Sister Yuxuan, Brother Xiaoyou, look, it's that abominable face-changing man!"
As soon as these words came out, Qi Yuxuan looked at him immediately, then nodded, "It's really him."
Not only her, but people like Song Ming who had encountered face-changing people also looked surprised.
Lin You quickly locked onto the other party, with a smile on his face. There was some interest and some danger in his smile.
This person dares to impersonate himself and is very courageous.
If nothing else... Instructor Jia specially arranged it?
Also, does this ability to impersonate come from cards?
Or...a Noble Phantasm?
The impersonation was so lifelike that Lin You was really jealous of this skill.
It feels very useful. Not only the appearance, the sound, but also the breath are simulated to a certain extent.
But now, I didn't think much about it and watched the face-changing man follow the beam of light and pour into the whirlpool in the sky.
Soon, the figure disappeared into it, the vortex was still turning, and the roar of thunder and lightning became louder.
Seeing this scene, Guo Rui was a little surprised, "Is he... being teleported out?"
The whirlpool seems to be the exit from the underworld!
No way...is it really that easy?
Lin You said calmly: "It's normal. The Sleeping House has been liberated, and all the Sleepers in the palace have been released. Even those super black-star sleeping monsters have few left alive. If we don't let us out, what will happen?"
Why do you stay here?"
"But, in the book..."
Guo Rui wanted to say something, but Lin You interrupted disapprovingly: "You can't trust everything in the book. How can there be such a good thing? The information is completely correct without any deviation, especially when you think about Lao Jia's training methods
,is it possible?"
"Okay, you have a point."
When it came to Jia Jiao, Guo Rui felt a little relieved. With that person's personality, it was normal for him to ask the builder of the magic field to plant some misleading information to deceive people.
But what I still can't figure out is... It's normal for Jia Jiao to deliberately create some false information, but now, is he really willing to let them go so easily?
But then I thought about it, liberating so many sleeping houses, but also having to constantly deal with and fight various super black star sleeping monsters to avoid and resolve the crisis until the last sleeper is liberated. The difficulty of this has already been
Extremely amazing.
Don’t look at it now, how many people can still stand here?
Counting Zeng Xi and others who left earlier, there are probably less than twenty people!
When we first entered the underworld, there were nearly a hundred people!
The vast majority of people were eliminated midway.
There are also some geniuses among them, such as Chen Mu and Wan Yibin from Jiangcheng University, but they can't hold on.
…
"Another beam of light fell!"
At this time, Chu Ke pointed at the sky and exclaimed.
Everyone was already watching, and at this moment, they all naturally saw it.
There was indeed a beam of light falling, and not just one... but several!
Several beams of light fell quickly, almost all of them falling far away, but one of them was directed at Lin You and others!
"Do you want someone to pick me up?"
Someone spoke half-jokingly, but Du Zhizhong said in a deep voice: "At this time, it's better for each of us to just let things go."
Whoever hits it, that’s who it is!
At this time, we are actually not completely sure that this is the teleportation beam.
Whoever gets hit might be taken to a higher place and will be eliminated.
Although this possibility is unlikely, it is more or less likely... The key is, there is no way to verify it!
Whether they are sent out or eliminated, the person concerned cannot come back to inform them, nor can they pass on information from the outside world.
It really depends on some luck!
And soon, the beam of light fell.
One person is covered in it.
Ji Ming!
Ji Ming, who was covered, said nothing. In the blink of an eye, he was carried high into the sky by the beam of light.
Within a few breaths, I was submerged in the whirlpool.
Ji Minggang disappeared without a trace. Before anyone could say anything, more beams of light came.
This time, many people came here.
At this point, there is no time to weigh the pros and cons, so I can only put aside those bad guesses.
Several beams of light fell, and this time, most of the people were taken away.
The only ones left are Lin You, Guo Rui and Qi Yuxuan.
Judging from the remaining three people, those beams of light indeed fell randomly and took people away at random.
It has nothing to do with points, magic power or any other factors.
After watching the others leave, Guo Rui smiled at Lin You, his tone deliberately ambiguous, "Lin You, we are destined to stay together until the end."
"Get lost."
Lin You couldn't help but cursed, this guy is so disgusting!
Is I destined to you?
Didn't you see a beautiful girl next to you?
Qi Yuxuan also smiled and said: "I think you two are quite destined and can often hang out together."
"Damn it!"
Lin You said depressedly, and then the beam came down again.
This time, it enveloped all three people.
Soon, Lin You realized what "riding on a rocket" meant!
The field of vision in front of me blurred, and it quickly soared into the sky, but there was no feeling of instability.
Then, it was all gray and black.
No need to ask, I fell into the whirlpool!
…
Consciousness becomes a little blurry.
Vaguely, I could feel a falling sensation coming from me.
As he continued to fall, his consciousness recovered at an extremely slow speed.
When his consciousness barely returned to stability, Lin You already felt a sense of being grounded.
There were also some exclamations in my ears.
He immediately opened his eyes wide and looked around at the surroundings. What he saw was a familiar beach.
The wind is sunny and the warm light reflects on the beach, highlighting the golden color of the gravel.
The occasional sea breeze is enough to make you feel refreshed.
Is this... coming back?
Seeing this beach, I couldn't help but rub my eyes and confirm it again.
It really is!
Around them, you can see Xia Mu and others who were teleported back before.
Including Zeng Xi, Zhang Xia and others who had separated from them before and were responsible for liberating the remaining three sleeping houses, were also there.
In fact, it's much more than that.
Outside the beach, a large group of people were sitting or standing, staring intently.
Those calls were obviously made by them.
These people are exactly the group of students who were put to sleep, including those who were put to sleep initially and those who were later eliminated in the underworld.
At this moment, everyone is gathered here, obviously knowing in advance that they will come back at this time.
This group of people, watching Lin You and others returning one after another, kept talking privately.
"Lin You from Jiangcheng High School is also back. I heard from my brother who entered the underworld that the ranking for entering the underworld this time will be determined based on the number of points. Can he take first place this time?"
"The number of points actually doesn't matter. The underworld seems to be more dangerous than imagined. So many people have been eliminated. In the end, less than twenty people have survived the danger. No matter how few points you have, there may be a lot of benefits!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect so many people to be eliminated. It's a pity that I was put to sleep early and couldn't go to the underworld. I was bored to death in the 'little black room'. Apart from basic cultivation, I had nothing to do.
Fagan.”
"Do you still need to practice? That's right. I thought those of you who were put to sleep in the first place have really been sleeping until now. Instructor Jia took over and took advantage of you. I was so nervous at that time."
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's take a guess, who can take the first place this time?"
"Who else can it be? It's either Lin You or Du Zhizhong."
"That's not necessarily true. People like Xia Mu and Ji Ming are not bad either. This time in the underworld, strength is important, but luck and courage should also be crucial. Didn't you see that some ruthless people were also eliminated this time? Some.
They were eliminated very early!”
"You've said that, so who can guess it accurately? But one thing is right this time. Luck is very important. I have some impression of that little eye over there. He is obviously a weakling, but he has managed to survive until now.
It’s outrageous.”
"You talk about him, I also remember some..."
"..."
Everyone was discussing extremely enthusiastically, and at this moment, a figure flashed past.
Seeing him, the scene became much quieter.
Jia Jiao!
This instructor Jia has not appeared for some days.
"Instructor Jia is here."
Seeing Jia Jiao and Lin You standing aside, Guo Rui spoke nervously.
After these days of training, he really had some shadows about this devil instructor, and even the joy of his smooth return had faded a lot.
Jia Jiao's indifferent look made Guo Rui a little uneasy.
There won't be any reversal, right?
It looks like a successful comeback, but it’s not!
Rush to the end, give them a fatal sentence, and experience the feeling of failure?
It’s not just Guo Rui.
Others are also more or less worried.
This time...is it done?
The chatter around them also gradually subsided.
Soon, it was completely quiet.
All eyes were focused on Jia Jiao.
After a long silence, Jia Jiao just said calmly: "Congratulations, you completed this rescue mission and persisted to the end. In terms of time, it was much faster than I imagined."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, someone couldn't help being ecstatic and shouted, "It's done, it's really done, Wuhu!"
Then, someone shouted out one after another.
Express your inner feelings.
Cool!
happy!
Taking great risks and wandering around in the underworld, running around day and night, and fighting tirelessly were all supported to the end by strong willpower.
At this moment, when I heard "congratulations" from Jia Jiao, I just felt relieved!
As for those who relied on luck to get to the end, not to mention their mood...it was so exciting!
This is the case with Guo Rui.
Haha, I'm so awesome, so many people were eliminated, but I really made it to the end!
Do you understand what it means to stand out from a crowd of geniuses?
At this moment, even if you don’t get too many rewards later, just going through this trip and having this experience is already worth it!
How many people are envious and can’t come!
Of course, there are also several people who don't show any trouble on their faces, but are happy in their hearts.
It’s not easy to hold on until now.
During this trip to the underworld, no matter who it was, they were under a lot of pressure, and they basically encountered some difficulties, dangers and even desperate situations!
He saved the day and stood till the end. For this, he really tried his best.
Jia Jiao was very humane this time. He gave them some time to adjust their mood. After everyone gradually calmed down, he spoke again: "Now, let's talk about some of the rewards given to you by the association."
The tone in which he said this was extremely calm, as if he was announcing what he would have for breakfast today.
When he heard him mention the 'reward', both those who had completed the task, such as Lin You, and those students who had been put to sleep and eliminated, all hurriedly pricked up their ears.
This is the point!
What rewards can I get?
Training is organized by an association, so can the rewards be generous?
Everyone is looking forward to this reward very much.
Even if you can't get it, listening to it, watching it, and admiring it can wake you up and stimulate yourself.
Look how stupid, stupid, and terrible you are!
It is because of your lack of ability that you miss out on these generous rewards in front of you. If you don’t work harder, you will lose even more in the future!
At this moment, everyone is extremely looking forward to and paying attention!
Jia Jiao didn't show off, he didn't take it seriously at all, and said calmly: "First of all, every 1 point you accumulated in the underworld this time can be converted into 1 duel point. In addition, if the points exceed 50 points, any points exceeding 50 points will be converted into 1 duel point."
Each point can be converted into 2 duel points. If it exceeds 500 points, each point can be exchanged for 1 duel meritorious service."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Those students who were unable to participate in the trip to the underworld are even more envious!
1 point can be exchanged for 1 duel point, this is as expected.
Unexpectedly, when the points exceed 50 points, the value of each point doubles!
Is it difficult to obtain 50 points?
Regarding this point, everyone probably knows it in their minds.
After all, they were not the only ones locked in the small dark room, but also the eliminated students who were sent out in advance and then locked together.
During this period, we talked a lot with each other and exchanged more information.
So I know that it is still difficult to get 50 points.
For many students who were eliminated, in the end, only twenty or thirty points were considered too much.
But these people also said that their points could not be accumulated mainly because they did not have access to the Long Sleep House.
A genius who was eliminated in the Long Sleep House said that even though he was eliminated, he still gained more than 60 points from the Long Sleep House, and his level of conquering the Long Sleep House was barely okay.
There is still a long way to go before it can be completely conquered.
If you can really win it completely, you may be able to score more than 200 points for a long-sleeping house.
And now, what is certain is that these people who have successfully returned must have had contact with the Sleeping House... and there may be more than one!
In this case, their points may be astonishingly high.
In this way, combined with the reward model mentioned by Jia Jiao, everyone has a hunch that this time some people may be able to reap a terrifying huge sum of money!
Thinking of this, can they not be envious?
At this time, Jia Jiao spoke again: "In addition, according to the personal ranking of points, the top three will be given additional rewards of 3000, 2000 and 1000 duel points respectively, and each will be awarded three association-customized cards.
The cards include one monster, one magic and one trap card each. Those ranked fourth to tenth will be rewarded with 500 extra duel points. Those who complete the remaining tasks will be rewarded with 200 extra duel points!"
"..."
The huge beach suddenly fell silent for a moment as Jia Jiao's words fell.
next moment.
The pot exploded.
Damn it, damn it!
This reward... is going crazy!
Look at the rewards, the top three are probably going to make a fortune this time!
One training session, the benefits are greater than one session in a secret realm!
terrible!
At this moment, Lin You was also stunned.
There was an uproar in my heart, and I murmured to myself.
This time... I seem to be really making crazy money?
