A total of twenty people walked out of the tents, plus two guards. These twenty-two tents were just the right number.
Except for the two guards, everyone else was wearing various costumes. It was obvious at a glance that these people were also here to participate in the selection of the guards.
A fat man walked out slowly, with a lazy look, and rubbed his sleepy eyes: "What's wrong, is the selection about to start?"
"Fat man, you don't have to sleep all day now."
Another person joked.
"What do you know? I can practice while sleeping!"
The fat man didn't want to admit that he was lazy, so he said harshly.
"Cultivation in dreams is indeed a good way!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and it seemed that they all knew each other very well.
The fat man's face turned red. He accidentally saw Mu Feng standing there and raised his eyebrows involuntarily: "Two flag captains, are these the last contestants?"
"That's right, I don't have time to introduce you to each other. The selection officially begins now!"
A captain of the Imperial Guard said coldly.
Mu Feng looked at the two guards with some surprise. The flag commander was already a junior commander. He didn't expect that the selection would also require the dispatch of two flag commanders.
The fat man's eyes filled with excitement: "Three years, do you know how I spent these three years?
The wait is finally here!”
"It was not spent in sleep."
Someone made fun of him.
Mu Feng was confused: "Three years?
What's the meaning?"
Seeing that he was new, the flag leader gave a brief explanation: "Originally, the selection of the imperial guards was to have started three years ago, but the empress ordered that the time be postponed. I don't know the specific reason. The waiting time is three years."
.”
The fat man looked at Mu Feng suspiciously: "Hey, new guy, isn't it because of you that the selection was delayed?"
Mu Feng remained calm and said with an indifferent expression: "No!"
But he was very surprised. He was supposed to come here to participate in the selection three years ago, but something unexpected happened and he was delayed at sea for another three years.
In order to retaliate for his outburst, the empress actually postponed the selection of the imperial guards. This is so crazy. It is terrible for a woman to hold a grudge! You must never say this kind of thing. These people have been waiting here for three years because of him. If
I know it was really because of him that someone was going to be eliminated before the selection started.
The others laughed one after another: "Fat man, you are overthinking. The selection of guards is a big deal. How could it be delayed for three years because of one person?"
The fat man scratched his head and said, "I just said it casually."
A flag leader walked up to everyone and announced the start of the selection: "The guards select elites, so there is no possibility of cheating during the selection process. You must also be mentally prepared, because people will really die!"
"No matter what the reason is, the dead are not qualified to join the guards. The first thing you have to do now is to cross this mountain and go to a stronghold we have set up."
"The time limit is three days. Within three days, you must climb to the stronghold. Otherwise, you will be deemed unqualified and will be eliminated directly!"
"A tip for you, don't trust anyone until you reach the stronghold!"
After saying that, they moved out of the way.
Looking at the lush jungle, everyone seemed eager to try it. Although they had been waiting here for three years, the two flag commanders had been watching them here and not letting them enter the jungle.
Euphemistically called it for their own good.
After waiting for three years, we can finally see what is in this jungle! Those who can participate in the selection of the imperial guards must first go through a series of inspections. After confirming their outstanding talents, they also need to confirm their loyalty to the Kingdom of Xuanji.
The guards must be loyal to the Kingdom of God and the Empress. After all, this is the core team and cannot make any mistakes.
Among the people who came to participate in the selection, most of them were a level higher than Mu Feng, but none of them were above the fifth level of the reincarnation realm, and no one was over a hundred years old.
They are the geniuses among geniuses everywhere, so when they participated in the selection of the imperial guards, they did not take it seriously. They rushed directly into the jungle from the beginning and did not stay with anyone.
Mu Feng also wanted to go alone, but he was a little more cautious than others. Since the two captains of the guard said that the selection was not that simple, there must be some dangers in the jungle.
But the fat man seemed to be very curious about him, so he got close to him from the beginning.
"Brother, my name is Wei Hu, from Wuling Divine District. Where are you from?"
As soon as Mu Feng arrived here, he couldn't refuse Wei Hu's kindness, so he said lightly: "Mu Feng is also from the Wuling Divine Region."
"Then we are fellow villagers," Wei Hu said, looking familiar. "Let's walk together on the road below. There will definitely be dangers. Those people think that the trial is too simple."
Mu Feng raised his eyebrows, looking curious: "Do you know some inside information about the trial?"
Wei Hu quickly shook his head: "What can I know? It's just a guess. The guards are the best among the best. How can the selection be simple?"
Although he said it casually, Mu Feng couldn't help but look at him differently, and couldn't help but take a closer look at this fat man who looked simple and honest.
Looking at it, we found something different. Wei Hu seemed to have a very secret power in his body. Although on the surface it looked like he was only at the early stage of the fourth level of the reincarnation realm, the power hidden in his body was very powerful.
If he hadn't practiced Hongmeng Heavenly Dao, his perception was several times more acute than ordinary people, and he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.
"Well, let's go together."
Mu Feng nodded and agreed.
The two quickly walked into the jungle, but the two flag captains stood still with a smile on their faces.
The jungle blocked the light, and the eyes fell dots. Everything was quiet and looked very peaceful.
A monk who participated in the trial of the Imperial Guard strode forward, even though the mountains and forests were rugged, it was as if he were walking on flat ground, and his speed was very fast.
"There's nothing dangerous about this. It's just a matter of climbing over the mountain in front. I can reach it in just one day!"
He is full of confidence and ambitious.
But at this moment, the branches above the trees on both sides suddenly shook.
This aroused the monk's vigilance, and he began to look around. There should be many gods and demons in such a lush jungle.
The next moment, a black shadow appeared behind him like a ghost, silently, and then kicked the monk hard! "Wow!"
The monk was caught off guard and threw his body directly to the ground. Severe pain came from his buttocks. He turned around and saw a man in black clothes and a masked face slowly walking towards him.
"who?"
He immediately stood up, and the powerful Holy Yuan surged out, covering the surface of his body instantly, forming a layer of defense.
But what he didn't notice was that a man in black also appeared behind him, holding a big stick and smashing it on the head! With a roar, the big stick hit the monk's head hard, making the monk dizzy immediately.
The Saint Yuan in the body became a little confused for a moment.
Then came the second, the third... five men in black appeared beside him, each of them was at the fifth level of the reincarnation realm, making the monk's eyes widen with a look of horror.
"Who are you? I'm here to participate in the guard selection. If you dare to kill me, do you know what will happen?
My father is the city lord of Luoyun City!"
The man in black had his face covered, so the expressions on his face could not be seen clearly, but in the monk's eyes, they all seemed to be sneering.
"I know, your father is Lei Fang, and you are Lei Wantian, the young master of the Lei family, right?
Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing and I’m just asking you to borrow some money to spend.”
A man in black said frivolously.
When Lei Wantian heard this, he immediately felt relaxed: "I told you earlier, I can give it to you if I have money, as long as you don't delay my guard selection!"
This is also a master who can bend and stretch. He wants to lose money and avoid disasters, and it will not be too late to regain his face after becoming a guard.
But these men in black were obviously not just here for Lei Wantian's Holy Crystal. They laughed evilly and immediately swarmed forward, their fists and soles falling like raindrops.
Under the siege of five monks, Lei Wantian could only hold his head and was knocked to the ground. He was very miserable, and soon he suffered serious injuries.
Not only that, they also took away all the sacred weapons and space sacred weapons from Lei Wantian, "Young Master of the Lei family, we have saved your face. You can continue to participate in the selection of the imperial guards. Take your leave!"
The five people came and went like the wind, and soon they were nowhere to be seen.
Lei Wantian was cursing in his heart. He finally understood that this was part of the selection process for the imperial guards. He beat them half to death and took away everything they had on them.
"Fortunately, I'm smart and hid a bottle of elixir that can help me recover quickly, otherwise I would have been in danger this time."
Panting, he took out a small jade bottle from his arms, which looked very precious.
Before he came, his space sacred artifacts were filled with various healing elixirs, sacred artifacts, etc., just to prepare for the selection of the imperial guards. However, he did not expect that the selection of the imperial guards would be so shameless, and he would even send people to snatch them.
Something! When he thought that other people would suffer such treatment, Lei Wantian felt a lot more balanced. At least he still had a bottle of elixir.
Just when he was about to take the elixir to heal his injuries, a man in black suddenly appeared in front of him like a gust of wind, and then stretched out his hand.
Lei Wantian was stunned for a moment, and immediately wanted to put the pill away, but when he thought that the result might be a severe beating, he gave up the idea.
"Hey, I don't know how this bottle of elixir ended up on my body. I will hand it over on my own initiative!"
He stood up, touched the injury, and gasped in pain, but still put the elixir into the hands of the man in black with a smile on his face.
"The consciousness is not bad."
The man in black commented lightly, put away the elixir and left here.
After Lei Wantian waited for a long time and confirmed that all the men in black had left, he cursed the most vicious words, feeling very angry in his heart.
