As soon as he passed through the entrance of the cave, Lu Chen felt that his eyes suddenly opened up. There was actually a small town in front of him, which surprised him.
"Hey, where is Xiaoyi?"
Lu Chen looked around and was even more surprised when he didn't see Hong Miaoyi. He frowned slightly. It seemed that everyone's test was different. Maybe Hong Miaoyi had gone to another place.
But what is the test of this level?
The ancient pagoda has nine floors. If one floor counts as one level, then this should be the second floor of the ancient pagoda. But why is there a small town?
Lu Chen walked up with doubts and saw that the town was not big, only a few miles from east to west. The town was in ruins and sparsely populated, mostly old people and children.
"Could it be an illusion?"
Lu Chen frowned slightly and glanced at these old people and children, only to find that they were genuine human beings, but they did not have any power fluctuations.
"mortal?"
Lu Chen was surprised. A small town had already puzzled him, but he didn't expect that there were still a group of mortals in the town, which made him even more puzzled.
But now that he's here, this must be a test, but what exactly is the test?
Lu Chen entered the town and found that it was sparsely populated. There was only one inn in the town and there were only three or five guests.
"Brother Lu, come up quickly."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from upstairs. Lu Chen looked up and saw two acquaintances, Zhao Hanchuan and He Ling.
"Brother Zhao, Brother He, are you here too?"
Lu Chen was startled and hurried upstairs. After making sure he saw it correctly, he was immediately surprised.
"Brother Lu, why are you here?"
Zhao Hanchuan and He Ling also looked at Lu Chen curiously.
"That's right."
Lu Chen calmed down a little and told the two of them the process of passing the first test and arriving here.
"Brother Lu, my situation is roughly the same as yours. We also came here after passing the first test. It's just that we have been here for a few days and haven't found any clues." He Ling said.
"How could this happen?" Lu Chen asked with a frown.
"Brother Lu, the test definitely exists, but we haven't discovered it yet." Zhao Hanchuan said.
"Yes, it's just that although this town is backward, there is nothing going on. There is not even a troublemaker. It is very peaceful." He Ling said.
"So weird?" Lu Chen said in surprise.
"Who says it isn't?" Zhao Hanchuan sighed softly and said, 'I don't know what the two seniors Lingdaozi and Huangwuzi are going to test. It's really worrying.'
"That's impossible." Lu Chen frowned.
"How about we go take a look again?" He Ling asked tentatively.
"It's okay to go out and have a look again. Brother Lu, you are a lay disciple of Zhenfo Temple. You are more intelligent than us. You may be able to discover things that we have not discovered." Zhao Hanchuan said.
"Brother Zhao is joking. You are all extremely talented people. You haven't found anything here. How can I find anything?" Lu Chen chuckled and said, "But it would be useful to go out and take a look and understand the situation here."
We can't stay here forever if we have to.'
"good."
Zhao Hanchuan and He Ling nodded. There are only three years left in this final round. If you can't go out, it means failure and losing the opportunity to fight for the inheritance of the ancestors and gods.
They were unwilling to give up, and Lu Chen was an exception. Otherwise, why would they participate in this spirit ranking competition?
After a while, the three people came out of the inn.
There are few pedestrians on the street, and some old people are sitting under the eaves chatting sporadically.
They were all talking about the shortcomings of some parents, or the harvest, or how naughty the children of certain families were. Lu Chen was very disappointed.
"Hit him, hit him!"
At this moment, a group of children suddenly appeared in front of them. They chased and beat a dark-skinned boy. The boy stumbled, fell to the ground, and hurriedly got up and ran away.
"Coward, run away quickly, or we'll beat you every time we see you!"
The group of children who were chasing the boy laughed together, laughing at him vigorously.
Lu Chen looked at the boy and saw him disappearing at the end of the alley, frowning slightly.
"Brother Lu, did you discover anything?" Zhao Hanchuan asked.
"I saw them chasing and beating the child the day before yesterday. Judging from their appearance, it must have happened not once or twice," He Ling said.
"Let's go take a look at the front again." Lu Chen said calmly.
Zhao Hanchuan and the other two nodded.
The town is only a few miles long, and even if Lu Chen and the other two walked and looked around, they only walked for half an hour.
"We're done."
He Ling looked at the end of the town and said.
"Brother Lu, have you discovered anything?" Zhao Hanchuan asked.
"No." Lu Chen shook his head.
Along the way, there were either children fighting, beggars grabbing food, or couples quarreling, but nothing else happened.
"Let's go back and have a look." Lu Chen said calmly.
Zhao Hanchuan and Zhao Hanchuan nodded indifferently. They came to the town first before Lu Chen. They had visited every place in the town but found nothing. Now it was up to Lu Chen to see if he could find something different.
It's a pity that Lu Chen, like them, didn't find anything. This town is too ordinary.
After returning to the inn, the three of them were silent for a while.
"Forget it, Brother Lu, you have just arrived. Let's take a rest first and then take a look." He Ling said.
"You two, it seems that you can't use spiritual consciousness here?" Lu Chen asked.
"We already discovered this when we came here," Zhao Hanchuan said.
Lu Chen frowned slightly, recalling everything he saw in this small town in his mind, slowly sorting it out, but he still didn't have any clue, which made him disappointed.
"That's it, you two, I'm going to rest first." Lu Chen stood up and said.
"Okay." Zhao Hanchuan nodded.
"I don't know how I can pass the test?" He Ling sighed lightly.
"There must be a test." Zhao Hanchuan said seriously.
"It exists naturally, otherwise we wouldn't be here." He Ling nodded and said.
While the two of them were talking, Lu Chen had already checked into the inn, an ordinary room. Fortunately, it was clean, otherwise Lu Chen would not be used to it.
"There must be something I didn't notice."
Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, calmed down for a while, and decided to take a rest first and then go out to take a look tomorrow.
A night of silence.
On the next day, Lu Chen woke up from practicing.
"Finally, I have cultivated the Withered Rong Technique and Yuan Lei Jian Gang to the level of perfection."
Lu Chen stood up, with a smile on his face, and immediately opened the door and walked out. Seeing that Zhao Hanchuan and Zhao Hanchuan were not in the inn, he left the inn.
Although Zhao Hanchuan and Zhao Hanchuan did not find a way to pass the test, they still did not give up, and Lu Chen naturally could not give up.
He walked along the town again.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of fighting in front, and a group of children chased a dark-skinned boy.
"Hey, why are these kids again?"
Lu Chen looked surprised.
"Coward, run away quickly, or we'll beat you every time we see you!"
The group of children laughed together and laughed at the boy's timidity.
"No, how come this is exactly the same as what I saw yesterday?"
Suddenly, Lu Chen had a look of astonishment on his face and hurriedly saw the dark-skinned boy. He ran into the alley and hurriedly chased after him.
He felt as if he had caught something, and the boy might be able to help him unravel it all.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen chased into the alley but could not find the boy. He seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
"How is that possible?"
Lu Chen stood there for a while, thinking hard, but couldn't figure it out.
This is all so weird.
"Brother Lu, what are you doing in there?"
At this moment, the voices of Zhao Hanchuan and He Ling suddenly came from outside the street. They walked up and looked at Lu Chen in confusion.
"I have made a discovery, which may be related to whether we can pass the test." Lu Chen said calmly.
"Is this true?" Zhao Hanchuan asked happily.
"Brother Lu, please tell us quickly." He Ling said eagerly.
This town was ordinary and had nothing, which made them all feel boring. They really didn't want to stay like this anymore. Lu Chen's words came as a big surprise to them.
"Let's go back first."
Lu Chen said.
"good!"
Zhao Hanchuan and He Ling nodded.
After a while, the three of them returned to the inn.
Lu Chen glanced at the two of them and told them what he had discovered today.
"How is that possible?"
After hearing this, both Zhao Hanchuan and Zhao were surprised.
"Brother Lu, are you sure the child you saw today is the same child we saw yesterday?" He Ling said seriously.
"I'm sure of this." Lu Chen nodded and said.
"Brother Lu, let's go there and have a look tomorrow." Zhao Hanchuan said quietly.
"That's what I meant." Lu Chen said.
"If this is really related to whether we can pass the test, that would be great." He Ling said excitedly.
Lu Chen and Zhao Hanchuan also nodded.
"Haha, what are you three talking about? You are so happy?"
At this moment, a young man with an extraordinary appearance and a face as sharp as a knife came. He looked at Lu Chen and the others with a smile.
"Li Lintian?"
Lu Chen and the three of them said each other's names almost at the same time.
"Lu Chen, I didn't expect you to be here." Li Lintian said with a smile.
"Brother Zhao, Brother He, we will leave early tomorrow morning. I will go back first." Lu Chen glanced at Li Lintian and ignored him. After saying this to Zhao Hanchuan, he got up and went back to the house.
"Let's go back too."
Zhao Hanchuan and He Ling looked at each other and left one after another.
"Damn it, these three guys didn't give me any face at all."
Li Lintian's face immediately turned cold, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "They just said they would set off early tomorrow morning. Have they found a way to pass the test?"
"No, I have to follow him tomorrow to have a look. Although Lu Chen is extremely cunning, he does have some cleverness. Maybe he can find a way."
Li Lintian smiled coldly, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
A night of silence.
After Lu Chen practiced hard all night, he met up with Zhao Hanchuan and He Ling and left the inn together.
"Brother Lu, that Li Lintian is following us." He Ling said suddenly.
"I know." Lu Chen smiled softly, looked back at Li Lintian who was following him, and said to Zhao Hanchuan, 'If he wants to follow, let him follow. We can't stop him, can we?'
Zhao Hanchuan and He Ling were a little reluctant, but they could only let Li Lintian follow them.
"What do they want to do?"
Li Lintian looked at Lu Chen and the others and frowned slightly. He was confused, but he didn't give up and followed them.
After a while, he found that Lu Chen and the other three had walked for a while and sat down on the side of the street.
Li Lintian looked to both sides. Except for alleys on both sides, there was nothing else. Even the pedestrians were very few, which made him a little confused.
