Qian Rui thanked the blue-haired young man, then took out the wound medicine from his backpack and carefully applied it on the iron-backed turtle.
"Howl!"
At the same time, next to Qian Rui, a blue light appeared on the body of a white saber-toothed sea lion with a pair of saber teeth.
This is another of Qian Rui's spiritual beasts.
The water slowly flows through the iron-backed turtle's carapace and begins to heal its injuries.
The Sabertooth Sea Lion's eyes were full of distress and remorse.
The attack by the Frog Cavalry just now still caused a lot of damage to the Iron-backed Turtle, but the Iron-backed Turtle endured the pain and did not cry out.
"Tiebei, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
"His Ka~"
The iron-backed turtle smiled and shook his head, then patted his chest with his paws.
It means that it doesn't care and these minor injuries are nothing.
Qian Rui was silent, feeling inexplicably blocked in his heart.
His iron-backed turtle is a little too sensible.
After applying the medicine to the iron-backed turtle, Qian Rui took a look at his account balance: 584,200.
For ordinary people, this may be a huge sum of money, but for a spiritual master, it is only enough to buy a rare resource.
"It's almost time. In just two and a half years, we should be able to collect the money."
Qian Rui grew up in an orphanage without a father or mother. Fortunately, he had a good talent for controlling spirits. When he was a freshman in high school, he awakened to the Spirit Controlling Space and became a trainee Spirit Controlling Master.
With the help of the "Eastern Xia Poor Spiritual Master Subsidy Policy", he successfully received a little sea lion whose talent was not very high.
"Let's work hard together from now on!"
"Howl!"
On a winter afternoon in the first year of high school, he signed a contract with the little sea lion.
The boy who had been alone felt the presence of "relatives" for the first time.
Although the little sea lion's talent is not good, diligence can make up for it. With the unremitting efforts of one person and one animal, the little sea lion successfully advanced to the extraordinary level in the third year of high school and evolved into a blade-toothed sea lion.
Qian Rui also made a splash in the Yuling Master College Entrance Examination with the help of the Blade Tooth Sea Lion. He became one of the few students in No. 1 Middle School to pass the Shenghai Yuling University, and he was also the one with the highest score in the combat department!
With the bonus given by the school and the Education Bureau, he contracted a second spiritual beast, the Iron-backed Turtle.
At this moment, he and the Saber-tooth Sea Lion were in high spirits, feeling that the future seemed to be in their hands.
After entering college, he and the Sabertooth Sea Lion continued to work very hard.
However, they soon discovered in despair——
Even if their training time is twice or even three times that of others!
However, the gap continues to widen.
Because Qian Rui’s spirit beast is not only much more talented than the little sea lion, but also uses much more resources and treasures than the little sea lion.
Some things cannot be made up for by hard work.
Such as family of origin, such as talent.
So during the summer vacation of his freshman year, in order to make money to buy more precious resources, he followed a coral mining team in the original city and went to a place called the Coral Sea in the Penglai Sea to collect colorful corals.
These colorful corals are good ornamental items and are also food for some high-level spiritual beasts, so they are expensive.
However, the hemp rope is only broken at the thinnest part, and the suffering is only for the miserable people.
Destiny always likes to fool people.
They were very unfortunate to encounter a group of sharp tooth sharks.
The sharp tooth shark is a very ferocious and bloodthirsty beast, keen on attacking creatures that are weaker than them.
Qian Rui and his coral mining team were besieged by a group of sharp-toothed sharks.
Soon, the blood dyed the nearby sea red, making the group of sharp tooth sharks even more crazy.
The Saber-Tooth Sea Lion has always been guarding Qian Rui and the Iron-backed Turtle (who had not advanced to extraordinary at the time), and needs to face the attacks of several Sharp-Tooth Sharks at the same time.
Soon, the body of the saber-tooth sea lion was covered with scars, and even the bones were exposed in some serious places.
But it didn't take a step back.
Until a high-level spiritual master patrolling nearby arrived and dispersed the group of sharp tooth sharks.
After landing, he cried loudly when he saw the bloody saber-toothed sea lion.
Fortunately, the saber-tooth sea lion was quite lucky. Because of the timely rescue, it barely managed to save its life, but it also left many hidden wounds that were almost impossible to heal.
Not to mention fighting, as long as you exercise strenuously, you will suffer severe pain all over your body, and you may even run the risk of fainting or even death.
If you want complete treatment, you need to have at least a monarch-level spiritual beast to rescue you or use epic-level medicine.
After Qian Rui inquired about it, he found that the medicine that could cure the saber-tooth sea lion was expensive, with the cheapest costing 2.5 million. It could be said that it was daunting for a poor student like him.
So in the following time, he worked hard to make money.
In addition to being a sparring partner for other students with Ironback Turtle, he also delivers food on campus and writes homework for others, earning more than 3,000 yuan almost every day.
He is not a person who gives up easily.
Qian Rui sighed, and then a familiar voice came from his ears, interrupting his thoughts.
"Qian Rui Qian Rui! Look at this!"
A boy who was 1.6 meters tall and weighed 160 meters came over. It was his roommate Wang Bo.
I saw Wang Bo put his mobile phone in front of Qian Rui, and a video was playing on it.
What caught the eye was a blazing fox with white fur. It gracefully finished its breakfast and walked in an old city.
The purpose of the video shooting by the spiritual master seems to be to record the daily life of his own spiritual beast.
As for why the fur of this blazing fox is white, Qian Rui is no longer surprised.
Ever since Chen Mo’s Wish White Fox shined at the World Championships, there simply haven’t been many imitators.
In the video, Blazing Fox is walking among the dilapidated houses in the old city. After passing through several alleys, he came to an abandoned and dilapidated factory building.
Blazing Fox entered the dilapidated factory building and began to train various moves.
Because formal training venues require fees, it is obvious that Blazing Fox and its spiritual master can save a lot of money by choosing to train here.
Brush! Brush!
Fireworks soar.
The Blazing Fox keeps releasing moves in the abandoned factory.
This reminded Qian Rui of how in high school, he and the little sea lion also liked to choose a desolate place and train day and night.
However, just when he was remembering the past, in the video, a black crack suddenly appeared behind the Blazing Fox!
The Blazing Fox didn't even react at all. The black crack was like a tearing giant mouth, swallowing it directly.
Immediately afterwards, the camera began to shake violently and quickly approached the black crack.
Apparently, after the Blazing Fox's spirit master saw his spirit beast being devoured, he quickly ran towards the black crack.
The black cracks are getting bigger and bigger.
At the same time, the screen became flickering and blurred, and even appeared as a snowflake screen.
After getting zero distance from the black crack, the picture in the video instantly turned into pitch black.
Obviously, the spiritual master who shot the video entered the black crack.
"This is a newly released movie? It's okay!"
Qian Rui felt that the person who shot the video was very good at handling the camera, giving him a sense of déjà vu as if he were watching a blockbuster.
"It's not a movie, keep reading."
The little fat boy Wang Bo said with a smile, giving it a try.
The next second, only fluorescent dots appeared in the boundless darkness. Then these fluorescent lights formed a line of light blue fluorescent text——
[Welcome to the Trial of Shadows]
"What's this?"
Qian Rui couldn't help but ask again.
"I'll tell you after you finish reading."
The fluorescent text quickly shattered and then reorganized into a new line of text——
[Next you will accept the test from the shadows. Every time you pass a shadow trial, you will receive generous prizes]
【The first level starts now!】
These fluorescent words are actually condensed from starlight fluorescent butterflies. In order to allow people entering the trial to understand the trial rules more intuitively, Chen Mo went to rent a few starlight fluorescent butterflies.
The moment the fluorescent text completely dissipated, the hunter hidden in the darkness began the "hunting moment"!
The Blazing Fox's body ignited flames, but it only illuminated a distance of less than 1 meter in radius.
The next second, it suddenly waved its claws forward, and the scorching high-temperature flames swung toward somewhere in the darkness.
With the faint light of the fire, a black shadow could be vaguely seen flashing past in the darkness.
when!
The crisp sound was obviously the collision between the flaming fox's claws and the monster in the darkness.
Dang Dang Dang!
There was another series of dense and rapid metal collision sounds.
Although the camera was dark, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, accompanied by the sound of fire explosions from time to time.
Obviously, the Blazing Fox is fighting a fierce battle with some kind of "monster" in the darkness!
After about a minute, the sounds of fighting disappeared.
The white fox in the fire had many "scars" on its body, but it seemed to have won.
At the same time, a line of bright blue text appeared again in the darkness ahead——
[Congratulations on passing the first level of the trial]
Immediately afterwards, a can of milk appeared out of thin air in front of Blazing Fox, with the words "Moo milk, can quickly recover injuries and heal hidden wounds of the body" written on it in green highlighter.
The Blazing Fox drank it all in one gulp, and the wounds on his body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just ten seconds, its state returned to its original state.
[The second level of the trial begins!]
After the fluorescent text dissipated, the monster in the night attacked again. However, this time, the blazing fox only lasted for 30 seconds before being defeated.
A piece of [Black Forest Cake] appeared in front of the Blazing Fox, which was the reward for passing the first level of the trial.
At the same time, the screen became flickering and blurry again, and patches of "snowflakes" appeared.
The next second, the camera has returned to the real world, and only the rare [Black Forest Cake] in the hands of the spiritual master proves that they have really participated in the Shadow Trial just now.
The video ends here. The comment with the highest number of likes in the comment area is the poster's general description of the experience.
All in all, he said that he encountered an "adventure" in this abandoned factory.
And he also claimed that he had visited the abandoned factory several times and saw the black crack again, but perhaps because he had already conducted the [Shadow Trial] once, he could not enter it a second time.
So he wanted friends who saw this video to give it a try.
"What's this?"
Qian Rui couldn't help but ask again.
"An urban ghost story called [Trial of Shadows] has only been released for a few hours, but it has already been in the top ten of the hot search lists on major websites. It is said that as long as you can pass the trial, you can get decent rewards."
Wang Bo looked excited and obviously had a lot of thoughts about this.
"Even if you fail, there will be no loss. The thing called Moo Milk that appears in the video can instantly heal wounds and even restore the hidden diseases of spiritual beasts. Doesn't your Saber-tooth Sea Lion have hidden diseases? Maybe this
Moo milk will work! Shall we try our luck?"
Hearing this, Qian Rui's breathing became rapid.
Although he felt that this video was probably staged. [Moo Milk], which can instantly restore injuries, is at least a rare treasure. Even if it fails, you can get it for free. How is this possible?
Could it be that this Shadow Trial Master is here for charity?
"good!"
Qian Rui said seriously.
Now even if there is only a slight possibility, he is not willing to give up.
"I checked, and this Shadow Trial Ground appears in the old town in the north of Shenghai City, very close to us."
Shenghai City Yuling Middle School is located inside the First City. As long as you leave Penglai Secret Realm, you will reach Shenghai City.
"Let's go! Then let's go now!"——
"Damn! Why are there so many people!"
When Qian Rui and Wang Bo came to the abandoned factory, they found that the abandoned factory that had been neglected had become crowded with people.
Wang Bo never expected that in just a few hours, there would be so many spiritual masters looking for [Trial of Shadows]!
Chen Mo also sighed like them.
"The people responsible for opening the dungeon haven't come yet! Why did you come here first!?"
But of course, the more people, the better. The entry challenge requires completing 1,000 trials within a month, and on average, at least 34 trials must be conducted every day.
In addition, what was interesting was that he saw many spiritual masters wearing white fox masks and their white fox-like spirit beasts in the crowd.
They shuttled among the crowd, asking other spiritual masters about their wishes.
for example--
"Hello, please tell me your wish?"
"I hope I can meet the Shadow Trial Master soon."
"Sorry, it can't be realized!"
The white fox showed no regrets and turned away.
Then immediately ask for the next one.
"Hello, what is your wish?"
"I want to get 500 yuan."
"Okay, as you wish!"
With Xiaojiu's crazy performance in the World Championships, [Urban Ghost Story Wishing White Fox] has become more and more popular, and now it has almost become a household urban legend.
People have become accustomed to those spiritual masters who wear fox masks and go around helping others realize their wishes on the street.
At this time, as long as you make some simple wishes, such as asking for money directly, these wish-making white foxes will basically be more than happy to help you realize them.
Although the willpower generated in this situation is very small, the willpower of these "working foxes" gathered together is still very considerable.
Seeing this scene, Chen Mo also wanted to transform into a [Wish White Fox] and help these people realize their wish to enter the Shadow Trial.
The strength of the wish is related to the inner desire of the person making the wish.
If the wish to enter the Shadow Trial is successfully realized, Xiaojiu should be able to gain a lot of wish power.
But Chen Mo thought about it and gave up.
Today he came to complete the challenge of [The Trial Lord of Shadows], but he didn't make any extraneous details.
And now there are thousands of working foxes helping to earn their willpower, so why bother to "work" yourself?
"Jasmine, are you ready?"
"Meow~"
The ender cat nodded, but still felt a little uneasy inside.
It was my first time to be a BOSS, so I was quite nervous.
"Then next - randomly select a lucky audience member!"——
