"Where is it?" Li Xiu looked around, but couldn't see the shadow of the Trial Gate.
Sha Chu walked to a small pit, looked down, turned around and said to Li Xiu: "This is it. If you go down from here, you will naturally see the door of trial. You go down first."
"It's such a small hole, why not make it bigger?" Li Xiu walked to the side and looked down.
I could only see the dark hole below. I couldn't see the bottom, and I didn't know how deep it was. Moreover, the entrance of the hole was only big enough for one person to pass through.
"Do you think I don't want to? The geological problems here are very easy to collapse. It is not suitable for digging a large mine, and there is no time. You should be careful when you go down, so as not to collapse the mine." Sha Chu urged Li Xiu to hurry up.
Click on it.
Li Xiu had no choice but to tie the rope on the scaffolding to his body. He originally wanted to jump down, but Sha Chu made him enter the mine upside down.
Sha Chu slowly put the rope on it and couldn't help but frown. Li Xiu's body was too heavy, unusually heavy. If it were an ordinary trialist, he wouldn't be able to pull Li Xiu at all.
Li Xiu fell down little by little, and his vision became darker and darker. Soon he couldn't see anything and could only rely on his hands to fumble.
The hole did not expand downwards, and it still only allowed one person's body to pass through. His body continued to descend, and he did not know how many meters he dropped, and finally touched the bottom of the mine.
Looking up, I saw that the mouth of the well had become smaller than a tea cup. I groped around with my hands and soon found a horizontal hole next to it, which could only allow one person to pass through.
He untied the rope tied to his body, then pulled hard three times, and then felt the rope rise.
After a while, Li Xiu saw that the sky above his head, which was smaller than the mouth of a teacup, was completely blocked. It must have been sand.
Li Xiu explored and crawled toward the horizontal passage, crawling a little further inside to leave room for the sand coming down.
Suddenly, Li Xiu felt a softness under his palm, and the sweat pores all over his body suddenly stood up. He quickly retracted his hand, and then quickly stepped back, back to the shaft position just now.
He didn't know what he had just touched. The soft texture was definitely not soil or rocks, but more like some kind of soft-bodied creature.
It felt like something like a snake or a frog, and the soft touch made his skin crawl.
Peng!
Li Xiu only felt his body being hit by a heavy object. He groaned in pain, and then felt his body being squeezed by a soft and fragrant thing.
"Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you before I came down to let you climb in first?" Sha Chu's voice rang in Li Xiu's ears.
She jumped directly without using a rope at all.
Fortunately, Li Xiu was sitting against the wall of the well just now. If he stretched his head forward a little further and the Sha Chu jumped down and hit his head, his neck would be broken directly.
Moreover, Shachu used the well wall as a buffer. He used his feet and hands to support the well wall from time to time to slow down his descent. Therefore, he did not step on Li Xiu when he came down, and the impact was not too great. Even if he was not crushed to death, these pairs of
The legs must be useless as well.
Now the two people are squeezed into the narrow mine, their bodies pressed tightly together.
One person could only crawl through this mine, and the two were crowded together. Li Xiu was in a sitting position, and Sha Chu was sitting on Li Xiu's lap with his legs spread apart, with their upper bodies touching each other.
"I seemed to have touched something alive just now, so I had to retreat. If I had known that I was coming to a place like this, I should have prepared a headlamp. Why did I come in the dark?" Li Xiu said.
"How can there be time to prepare those things? What kind of living things can be in here? Don't scare yourself. I'll step aside and go over to take a look first." Shachu said, twisting his body and heading towards the horizontal passage.
move.
In such a small space, the two people's bodies were close to each other. With Li Xiu's cooperation, Sha Chu moved away from him and got into the horizontal passage.
Soon, Li Xiu knew why Shachu didn't wear a headband anymore, and the same halo that Li Xiu had seen before appeared on her body again.
Although the slight halo is not bright, it also illuminates the nearby area a little, making it possible to see some things clearly.
"Where is there anything?" Shachu slowly climbed a distance in front and said with some dissatisfaction.
"It's strange. I touched something soft just now." Li Xiu took advantage of the halo emanating from Sha Chu's body and looked at the approximate location where he climbed before. There was indeed nothing there.
There are no holes in the well wall, so it's impossible for that thing to disappear out of thin air, right?
"You are so cowardly, why are you still a trialist? Why don't you go back and be your magic costume master?" Shachu continued to climb forward, and asked Li Xiu to catch up quickly.
Li Xiu followed Sha Chu, and when he saw the shiny big butt in front of him twisting and turning, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I know why you asked me to come down first."
"Stop talking nonsense." Sha Chu told Li Xiu to shut up coldly.
Li Xiu doesn't mind taking time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but the time, place and people are wrong now.
He slowly crawled inside behind Shachu, thinking as he climbed: "Why is Shachu so anxious to come here? What's so special about this trial gate? She said there's not enough time. Why is there not enough time?"
It’s not like the Trial Gate won’t run long, so what time are you talking about?”
"Ah!" Li Xiu thought, and suddenly the bottom of his palm felt soft again. The smooth and soft feeling was exactly the same as before. Li Xiu's hair suddenly stood up again, and he took his hand back as if he was electrocuted.
"What's wrong with you?" Sha Chu heard Li Xiu's cry and asked from the front.
Because the passage was too narrow, Shachu couldn't turn around to check, so he could only stop and ask about Li Xiu's situation.
"No...nothing..." Li Xiu looked at the place where his palm was pressed just now. There was nothing there, making him wonder if his previous feeling was an illusion.
But he knew in his heart that it was not an illusion. Although he usually didn't like molluscs and even kept them at a distance, it was definitely not an illusion caused by fear. It was a real touch.
But Li Xiu used the light from Sha Chu's body to look at it for a long time, but still found nothing, which made him very confused.
"It's okay, don't scream." Shachu snorted coldly and continued to crawl forward.
This time, Li Xiu stopped thinking too much and paid careful attention to the passage in front of him, fearing that he would not even see anything he pressed like before.
After crawling for a while, Li Xiu never encountered that kind of touch again, which made him doubt whether he really had an illusion just now.
Just when Li Xiu was relaxing a little, his body suddenly stiffened, as if something had gotten in along the opening of his trouser leg and was crawling up against the skin of his calf.
The thing was cool and soft, making Li Xiu feel like a very big caterpillar was moving on his calf.
Li Xiu felt like he was going to explode. He was afraid of this kind of thing. He was not afraid of those huge steel monsters or even demons no matter how ugly they were. But he was really scared of this kind of soft thing.
.
This may be related to his experience as a child. At that time, Li Xiu was really fearless and he was a naughty kid who was very capable of seeking death.
One time, Li Xiu was playing in the woods and suddenly discovered a colorful, translucent caterpillar, which looked very beautiful.
At that time, Li Xiu didn't understand anything, so he stretched out his hand and picked up the caterpillar, putting it on the palm of his hand and playing with it.
The caterpillar crawled on his little hand and even climbed up his arm.
Li Xiu was so happy that he even wanted to take the caterpillar back and keep it as a pet, but before he could get home, he fell to the ground.
That time, Li Xiu lay half-dead in the hospital for more than half a month, and finally managed to save a small life. At that time, his entire arms and hands were swollen and thicker than his thighs. Especially where the caterpillars crawled, there were lines.
The black spots on my skin later rotted away and pus continued to flow out.
That time Li Xiu was in so much pain that he suffered a little psychological shadow from then on. He always stayed away from molluscs. Once he felt that he was threatened, he would kill them directly.
The feeling coming from his legs now was very similar to before, it seemed like a bigger caterpillar was wriggling on his calves.
Li Xiu was furious all of a sudden. Because his body was restricted, his hands couldn't reach his calves, so he could only swing his legs desperately, as if they were equipped with electric motors.
After shaking it several times, he felt that the thing on his leg was finally thrown off, and Li Xiu immediately crawled forward desperately.
I don't know where the power burst out from. The weight of the Fire Lotus Sword seemed to be much lighter, and Li Xiu climbed quickly.
"There are bugs... there are bugs behind you..." Li Xiu shouted while pushing Sha Chu in front.
"What bug?" Sha Chu felt Li Xiu actually pushing his butt, and was furious. But when he heard Li Xiu say there were bugs behind him, his expression also changed, and he sped up and crawled forward.
The two of them crawled desperately. After a while, Li Xiu felt that his hands were empty and he fell out of the passage.
It turned out that the passage had reached the end, and a hole appeared in front of it.
"Where are the insects?" Sha Chu stood at the entrance of the passage, observing the passage as he passed by. After a while, he turned around and stared at Li Xiu coldly and said.
Li Xiu ignored her, rolled up his trouser legs, and looked carefully at the place where the soft thing had crawled.
It looked like everything was fine on the legs, not even a single mark.
Putting down his trousers, he looked up at Sha Chu and saw that she was looking at him with a frosty face. He could only cough lightly and said, "Maybe the bug didn't catch up."
"Li Xiu, let me warn you, don't tell me that you are not a formal member of Changshengtian yet. Even if you are a formal member, I introduced you to the association and am your direct superior. Your life and death are still in my hands.
Here." Shachu said with a cold face.
"I know, there really were bugs just now." Li Xiu said helplessly, knowing that he was wrong.
Sha Chu glanced inside the passage, but still didn't see anything. He looked at Li Xiu again, but couldn't see anything either.
"Let's go, don't waste time." Shachu said nothing more and walked forward.
With the light from Sha Chu's body, Li Xiu could see clearly that the cave was not too big, at most two meters high and as big as a house. There was a pink door inlaid on the mud wall mixed with stones.
.
Different from the trial doors that Li Xiu had seen before, this door was very small, less than one meter high. It was pink in color and looked like jade or stone. It was unknown what it was made of.
Shachu came to the pink door, took out a plastic bag, took out several pink spinels, and embedded them in the grooves of the pink door one by one.
When all the grooves were inlaid with spindles, the small pink door slowly opened, revealing a lustful pink light in the gap. The atmosphere looked like some impure place.
"After entering, you must follow my arrangements and do not act without permission." Sha Chu warned Li Xiu a few more words, then bent down and got into the small pink door.
Li Xiu shook his head and followed suit.
The scene in front of him gradually became clearer, and Li Xiu discovered that this training ground was not the sports arena he was familiar with, but a strange building.
This is a platform built on the water. The width of the platform is only one meter and the length is about ten meters. It is surrounded by water.
At the end of the platform, there is a huge turntable that is taller than a person. The turntable is divided into several areas, and each area has a number.
Shachu looked at Li Xiu with a strange look in her eyes. She saw the Fire Lotus Sword like a belt around Li Xiu's waist.
As far as Sha Chu knows, apart from demon spirits, the only thing that can be brought into the trial field is "contract", just like the knife on her back, the red skirt and red leather boots on her body, these are all "contracts".
As for the demon ring on Li Xiu's finger, Li Xiu had been deliberately avoiding Sha Chu's sight, and she hadn't seen it yet.
Li Xiu also noticed the knife on Sha Chu's back as well as the hip-covering dress and leather boots on his body. They didn't disappear, unlike Li Xiu who was wearing white tights and looked like a novice at the training ground.
"Welcome to the Frenzy Trial Field. The A-level trial has begun. The trial rules are as follows... The trial countdown begins..." Above the roulette wheel, a familiar light screen and cold electronic sound appeared.
After Li Xiu read the rules, his expression became a little subtle.
The S-level trial in the Frenzy Trial Grounds, like the End of the World Trial that Li Xiu participated in before, requires two people to start.
Of the two people participating in the trial, one must choose to be the target on the roulette wheel.
That's right, it's a target.
The tester who chooses to be the target will be fixed on the turntable and unable to move. After the test starts, the turntable will start to rotate.
Another tester must stand at this end of the platform, ten meters away from the turntable, and then blindfold himself and shoot flying knives.
There are ten flying knives in total, and each flying knife will hit the ten areas marked with numbers on the roulette wheel in order. After completion, the two people will pass the trial.
The key point is that even if the trialist on the roulette wheel is stabbed to death, as long as the ten flying knives can hit the corresponding area, the person who threw the throwing knives can still get rewards through the trial.
This kind of rule is obviously very unfair to the trialists on the roulette wheel, but the rules are the rules, and no one can change the rules in the trial ground.
If no one chooses to be the person on the roulette wheel, when the trial countdown ends, both people will be deemed to have failed the trial.
The person on the roulette wheel can use words to remind the person throwing the throwing knife so that the throwing knife will hit the correct area.
"You will choose to play the roulette later." Shachu said to Li Xiu.
"Why didn't you choose to play roulette?" Li Xiu asked.
"Listen to me, I promise you will be fine, otherwise I will kill you now." Sha Chu said, staring at Li Xiu coldly.
"Kill as you like, you won't survive even if you kill me. I never trust others, so there's no way I'm going to be on the roulette wheel." Li Xiu said calmly without blinking.
"You have to understand one thing, even if I get on the roulette wheel, you can't kill me, but if you make the wrong shot, we will all die." Shachu continued: "If you get on the roulette wheel, I can guarantee that
You will not suffer any harm. This is a test for you. My real goal is not this A-level trial, but the next S-level trial. This is just an exercise. If you cooperate well, next time
I will take you to an S-level trial once."
"Don't talk about those useless things. I'm not interested in the S-level trial. I will never get on the roulette wheel anyway. If you do, it's up to you, otherwise everyone will just wait here to die together." Li Xiu sat down.
No matter what Shachu said, he was still moved.
Li Xiu would not give up the control of his life and death to anyone, even if he felt that Sha Chu would not want his life.
If you really wanted his life, you could have done it long ago. There was no need to cause so much trouble, and there was no need to give him the Knight of the Chrysanthemum.
Even so, Li Xiu would not give up the initiative to Sha Chu.
"Think about it again. I have practiced this trial project for a long time and am absolutely sure. Do you think you can make the shot with your eyes covered? Even without blindfolding, you can make the shot.
Those areas that are rotating?" Shachu said again.
"Yes." Li Xiu replied without hesitation.
"If you don't get on the roulette wheel, even if we get out alive, you won't survive." Sha Chu said, staring at Li Xiu coldly.
"I'm not afraid of death now, what else do I want to think about in the future?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
Shachu was angry and anxious, but there was nothing he could do about Li Xiu. He gritted his teeth and stared at him, watching the countdown pass by second by second, and it was almost over.
"I hope you won't regret your choices when you die."
The countdown had reached the last three seconds, and Li Xiu was still sitting there with his eyes closed and motionless. Sha Chu finally had to take that step and left the area where the throwing knives were thrown.
She didn't expect that Li Xiu, who had always been very cooperative and seemed a little afraid of death, would be so stubborn.
If she had known that this was the case, she would never have brought Li Xiu here to participate in the trial. Even if she just grabbed a random person, it would be better than bringing Li Xiu.
With a flash of white light, Chu Sha appeared on the roulette wheel. His entire body was fixed on the roulette wheel in the shape of a large font. Nothing could move except his eyes and mouth.
A knife bag appeared on Li Xiu's waist. There were ten throwing knives in the bag.
The roulette wheel slowly started spinning, and a ten-second countdown appeared on the light screen. After the ten-second countdown ended, Li Xiu's eyes would be covered, and then Li Xiu could start shooting the flying knives.
