Chapter 23 Step 9
Silence, after Elder Mingyu finished his words, the stone room became extremely quiet, and even the lark, who had been laughing, did not speak, as if he knew the danger of the test. At this time, the lark even secretly congratulated that there was no "suspension shell".
Mu Chen's "cluck" sound from his tight fists kept echoing in the stone room. Although the sound was not loud, it was obviously enough for everyone to hear it in such a quiet environment.
Elder Mingyu said slowly, "Younger, this is not a bad thing for you. If you don't have enough strength, even if there is that "suspension shell", you may be buried in it."
Dangerous? If I can't hide here, in the face of Qingyuan, I will definitely die. Moreover, Awang has just been successfully promoted to a warrior. Why can't I? Mu Chen keeps thinking about the pros and cons, and can try the challenge in the unknown stone gate. He immediately said, "Senior, this "suspension shell" is only for life-saving purposes. I would like to go directly without that thing.
The old man smiled and was about to speak. The lark beside him hurriedly shouted, "Brother Mu Chen, don't do that. You will die." As he spoke, there were some tears in his eyes.
"Young people, it's a good thing to have courage, but this doesn't mean that you can be arrogant and young, think you can pass the test? If he hadn't been lucky, otherwise he wouldn't even have a chance to use the "suspension shellfish". Don't think that our test is a child's play. Let's prepare well. Next year, the chief will refine some more "suspension shellfish". Let's talk about it then." Elder Mingyu said rudely, and even laughed at Mu Chen's ignorance and arrogance with a little ridicule in his words.
"Senior, my life is my own. Since I dare to accept this test boy, don't you dare to let me test it?" Mu Chen replied fearlessly. He knew in his heart that this was not reckless, but what must be done. If he could not stay here, then he and Ling Xing's life would stay in the Dora Mountains. Elder Mingyu may not agree to let Mu Chen take the test, so it is most suitable to use the exciting method at this time.
Sure enough, Elder Mingyu was furious and stood up suddenly: "Jior, since you want to die, there is no need for me to stop him. It's better for such a thick boy to die earlier."
After saying that, he quickly walked to the mysterious stone gate: "If you don't dare, there is still time to repent."
Mu Chen didn't think for a moment and quickly followed the old man's pace.
Suddenly, I felt that my arm was pulled, and the girl's hand grasped Mu Chen's clothes. The crystal tears in the delicate pupils finally filled the container of her eyes. She kept falling from her snow-white and delicate face to her clothes and to the ground. The choked crying was mixed with the girl's pure voice: "Don't Brother Mu Chen, don't go, you will die. Bailing doesn't want you to go, I don't want you to..."
Seeing the appearance of the lark, Mu Chen also felt a little heartache in her heart. The girl saved herself and then was always good to herself. She helped Mu Chen everywhere. Now her request is only to let Mu Chen not take the test, but Mu Chen can't meet the simple requirements of the other party.
Smiling, Mu Chen smiled at the lark and looked at the tearful girl was really unbearable: "Stupid girl, how can I die? I promise you that I will walk in safely and come out safely. It's just a test. Don't worry."
"But..." The voice of the lark still choked when she looked at the young man in front of her. Even she didn't know why she was so good to this unknown young man, as if some memory was locked in her mind, but it was certain that this memory was related to the young man smiling brightly in front of her.
Mu Chen walked into the stone gate with the old man. The stone gate was not big enough to allow the next person to pass. Mu Chen followed Elder Mingyu, while the lark was still standing in the stone room. The tribal rules, this test could not be accompanied by others.
Entering the stone door, a magnificent chaotic force of space spread from the ground to the soles of the feet, and the road under his feet gradually became transparent, and there was even a feeling of walking in the void. Every step was even a little dizzy.
Halfway through the walk, Mu Chen couldn't help touching the ground curiously. The hard stone felt that the road was right, but his feet always seemed to be a bottomless hole. Through the colorless cornerstone, he saw a darkness, terrible, and even pulled the small handful of darkness in his heart, and dared not look at the darkness any more.
Mu Chen has never seen such a fantastic scene, and it can even be said that it does not belong to the world Mu Chen lives in at all.
Because he walked in the path for a long time at that time, Mu Chen always thought that his place was under the huge stone house, which was a huge underground space, but now this supernatural space really belongs to that underground place?
Although he was curious about the strange things in it, he knew that the purpose of this visit was to test, not sightseeing. Mu Chen vaguely remembered the cry of the lark girl, which proved the danger here.
After walking for about five minutes, the old man finally stopped. There were nine black whirlpools not far ahead, and purple pupils appeared. For a moment, he could not see what was strange about these whirlpools. He could only vaguely feel the violent factors in it, and even tear the space.
The old man pointed to the nine whirlpools in front of him and said, "Kid, it's not too late to regret. The nine whirlpools here seal nine peerless beasts respectively. Their strength varies. As long as you go to the road ahead, these whirlpools will randomly suck you into it. After entering, the whirlpool will automatically close, and you will see A fierce beast is in it, and if you think of it again, it will take ten minutes for the whirlpool to open, but no one can guarantee whether you are alive or dead at that time.
"Beast? Mu Chen has long guessed that he can know this kind of thing, but how can the fierce beast that can be sealed here be simple? Mu Chen sighed in his heart, but although he was a little worried, he still slowly walked to the nine whirlpools: "Since the younger generation has arrived here, naturally he will not retreat."
Elder Mingyu finally nodded at this time. When he arrived here, he could not be afraid of life and death, and he must be a courageous person.
The old man's fingers gently moved forward, and a faint momentum flew into the empty space in front of him. Suddenly, a place in front of him continued to be nihilistic and solid, and a faint cyan appeared in front of him. His eyes continued to deepen his eyes, and finally turned into a blue stone path.
"Although I know that you have made up your mind, I still hope you don't be angry." The old man glanced at Mu Chen, and his firm expression showed his unshakable belief more than anything else. He sighed, "It takes ten steps to walk through this bluestone path. The first step may attract the weakest whirlpool of fierce beasts, and the second step is to attract a whirlpool of fierce beasts stronger than the first step. It is the strongest beast. Your task is to enter a whirlpool and come out alive. That is to say, if you are sucked away by the whirlpool in the first few steps, your chances of survival will be greatly increased. If you are sucked away in the ninth step, you may not even have a glimmer of life. However, there are also lucky people who have not been sucked away until the tenth step, which depends on your creation.
"As long as you walk into the bluestone path, there is no chance to turn back. If you think about it, go." Mingyu added, "Yes, Awang was sucked away in the second step." After saying that, he waited for Mu Chen's test behind his hands.
Looking at the bluestone road in front of him, Mu Chen took the first step and felt the road under his feet, which was no different from the ordinary bluestone land. After the first step, Mu Chen looked at the nine whirlpools in front of the bluestone road, still spinning alone and did not seem to come.
Mingyu couldn't help shaking his head when he saw it, a little disappointed.
Mu Chen walked very slowly, and the second step was still the same as before, without any changes.
Step 3.
In the fourth step, everything is still the same as before, but with the tense breathing, it becomes more quiet here.
Elder Mingyu looked at Mu Chen with a sigh at this time. The next step is the fifth step. Mingyu did not know Mu Chen's strength. In his eyes, the possibility of Mu Chen's rebirth is very small. If A Wang had just been sucked away in the third step, he would have died in the whirlpool now.
In the fifth step, Mu Chen's footsteps fell, but there was still no change. When he came here with a dead silence, even Mu Chen couldn't help sweat and nervously looked around every trace of change around him.
Step 6, step 7 and step 8 fell down. Like the previous one, there was no movement. Although it was calm, this calmness had almost overwhelmed Mu Chen's breath.
Elder Mingyu has already thought that Mu Chen will die. How fierce beast the ninth step is. In the past hundred years, he has not seen a person retreat when he encounters a nine-step whirlpool. Even he can be said to be nine dead.
Mu Chen slowly raised her foot and took the ninth step.
