Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 605

"This is the place of trial?" A faint voice came from the forest, and a young man suddenly appeared on the branch, looking into the distance.

But what frustrates the young man is that he is condescending, but his vision has not been broadened much.The endless groves constitute the main environment of this area.

"Hey... It seems that this Desolate Jian Valley is really a jungle area. Depending on the situation, even if it is [-] miles away, there may be forests... Since it is called Desolate Jian Valley, shouldn't it be a barren valley?"

The boy stroked his messy hair, and said helplessly to himself.While raising his hand to support himself on the branch, he jumped down nimbly.

A ray of sunlight shone through the cracks in the trees, casting dots of light on the ground, and the boy's face gradually appeared.

Although it can't be called handsome, it is relatively delicate and gentle, and it is a comfortable appearance.The figure is thin and slender, and at first glance, he seems to be overwhelmed by the wind.However, from the way he jumped down just now, it can be seen that his combat ability cannot be judged by appearance alone.

"The actual combat trial is really not that simple..."

In Fushimen, after the short-term annual leave, actual combat trials have also been officially put on the agenda.

In addition to regular training, how to effectively display the fighting ability of a talisman master in actual combat is also something that every disciple must master.Therefore, every year, Fushimen will organize a special actual combat trial, and the rules are different every year.

This year, all disciples will enter a spiritual virtual space called "Huangjian Valley".Before that, everyone will be provided with a spiritual indicator card representing their current spiritual power.

However, the mental strength value on the card does not represent the strength of the tester itself, but represents his entire body function.Negative emotions such as fatigue, anger, fear, ambition, etc. will be most intuitively reflected on the card surface.

The initial value is set to 100, and if the tester has other negative emotions in it, the value will be deducted.Depending on the intensity and duration of emotional changes, the deducted values ​​vary.

But it does not mean that once the value is reduced, it will continue to be deducted.If in the next period of time, the mood of the tester can be restored to stability, the value will gradually increase, and even return to the perfect 100.

And in this virtual world, the disciples will have to survive in the wild for a month.On the first day of entry, Fushimen will provide dry food and water that can last for about seven days, but the following life needs to be arranged by the disciples themselves, including finding food and so on.

In addition to the test of the environment, the attack from the enemy cannot be ignored.Here, there are not only all kinds of monsters, monsters, etc., but also a strange kind of spirit ape. They can use mental attacks to disturb and shock the spirit of the tester. The deduction for the instruction card is undoubtedly the highest. one.

And the most important point was repeatedly reiterated by Fu Shimen in the meeting before the trial.If the points drop below 20, it means that the tester's mood is extremely low, or even insane, like a walking dead, then all kinds of cruel things may happen.Such a group of disciples will also become the primary enemy of other testers.

When the indicator card drops to 0, it will force quit.At the end of one month, those who can still keep the value above 90 are excellent and will be rewarded by Fushimen.The following scoring standards are: Normal -80, General -60, Fail -50, and Elimination -30.

After everyone was sent into the Valley of Desolation, they dispersed.At this time, the confused young man who was wandering among the woods, not knowing where to go, was Ye Shuo who participated in the actual combat trial for the first time.

Although he had participated in the competitions and practical courses of the seven sects with similar rules before, Ye Shuo knew that his emotional ups and downs had always been quite intense, and this kind of mentality was especially unfavorable under the supervision of the spiritual instruction card. .

Now that the trial has just begun, worrying is useless, so I can only try to keep my mood calm.Thinking of this, Ye Shuo no longer looked around, just sat down by a tree trunk, and took out all the dry food provided by the former Fushimen from the storage ring.

After counting carefully, Ye Shuo took a deep breath: "Seven days' worth... I thought that if I saved a little, I could at least get half a month's rations, but there are only seven steamed buns...that is to say , one a day?" With a groan in his heart, he leaned his head against the tree helplessly, "But there are 30 days...a month, how can I live..."

In the end, Ye Shuo had no choice but to accept his fate. He put away the dry food he had just taken out, adjusted his mood, and then stood up and walked forward.

The trunks protruding from the ground stretched in all directions, and the weeds were overgrown, making it extremely difficult to walk.But for Ye Shuo who grew up in the mountains and forests, these aroused a sense of intimacy.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, Ye Shuo temporarily found a flat place to rest, took out the dry food, and ate in silence.

Although he was eating in his mouth, his brain was constantly thinking about how to live in this place for 30 days.

This is not a peaceful world, but a virtual world that is close to reality.Moreover, not only must you ensure that you can survive here, but you must also ensure that your spiritual value does not drop to 20%!

Ye Shuo pulled out the instruction card from his waist.The surface of the card is golden, and the value above it is still 100% of the initial value.

"But is this thing really as effective as they say?" Along the way, the value has not changed at all, which made Ye Shuo gradually relax his vigilance.Perhaps the setting of the instruction card is a bit exaggerated?

"Hiss—" A voice suddenly sounded beside him, and Ye Shuo immediately stared at the source of the sound vigilantly.

But he quickly calmed down again, because it was just a grass rabbit that made the noise.

Ye Shuo shook his head, realizing that he was too weak to be frightened by a grass rabbit.And when he casually cast his eyes on the indicator card again, he saw that the value on the card had changed. The original value of 100% had now become 95%!

Although it only deducted 5%, it was just Ye Shuo's slight vigilance. If it was in a battle, how quickly would the value drop?If it is under mental attack, will the value drop directly to the dangerous value?
Only now did Ye Shuo realize that what they said was true, this thing could really detect one's spiritual value.When the value is reduced to a certain level, the theory of insanity is mostly true.

"Tsk, it's really troublesome..." Ye Shuo was also a little afraid of the instruction card now, so he could only put it away silently.

Now that I have calmed down, the values ​​will slowly recover. Next, I need to find a quiet place and start cultivating my mental strength... Ye Shuo thought about it silently, and his figure began to quickly shuttle between the trees. .

As night falls.

In a hidden cave, Ye Shuo was sitting cross-legged on a rock, immersed in the spiritual world.

"Is this my sea of ​​spiritual consciousness?" A spiritual phantom quietly emerged, surrounded by a vast expanse of whiteness, and Ye Shuo seemed to be familiar with it, sitting quietly on the ground, his whole body began to emit white light.

A warm current flowed into his mind from his limbs, and with Ye Shuo's high concentration, scenes from the outside world gradually began to appear in his mind.He can be sure that this is not the power of the soul now, and finally, his spiritual power has also risen to this level...

After stepping out of the pitch-black cave, Ye Shuo's mental power continued to extend outwards, until it was about 200 meters away, and then quietly converged, because this was already the limit.

"There are three people teaming up with each other within 200 meters? Or confrontation?"

However, the three parties showed no sign of action, and were more vigilant. Ye Shuo couldn't hear what they were saying until one of them took out the instruction card and found that the value on the card had dropped to 60%. The cards were taken out, and the declines of both sides were about the same.

After this scene, Ye Shuo could probably guess from the conversation between the three of them, it was nothing more than that the cards would indeed affect a person's spirit.It seems that not only I have discovered this, but others will also discover it one after another.

Ye Shuo didn't intend to continue to pay attention to them, and withdrew his spiritual detection, and began to devote himself to cultivation.

As time passed slowly, Ye Shuo didn't know how long it had been outside.It wasn't until he felt that he was one step closer to the third level of Qi cultivation that he opened his eyes.

There are already a few rays of setting sun outside.Because of the shade of the trees, the sun cannot shine in a large area, and there are crisp and pleasant birdsong, as well as refreshing air and shady space.

"I don't know how many days have passed." After this practice, Ye Shuo lost track of time, and only then did Ye Shuo feel a pang of hunger rushing from his belly.

After killing the second steamed bun, Ye Shuo left the cave.But before he could go far, a roar sounded, followed by a galloping figure passing by.

Before Ye Shuo noticed who was running past, he noticed a black shadow directly covering him.

The huge creature that appeared in front of him turned out to be a flame demon lion!

"The Flame Demon Lion? It's equivalent to a gas-level powerhouse! Why am I so unlucky! No... it should be chasing that person just now!"

After evading the attack of the flame demon lion, Ye Shuo didn't delay any longer, and immediately ran towards the direction the person left.

Behind him, everything he passed was covered with debris, and at the same time, Ye Shuo could still feel a slight scorching heat coming from behind him.

boom!
A flame shot from behind, Ye Shuo didn't have to turn his head, when he sensed the energy fluctuation, his figure flashed swiftly, but this moment's delay also brought the flame demon lion one step closer!
"Wow!" Ye Shuo could feel the overwhelming heat wave surrounding him, and he didn't even realize that his indicator card had dropped to 30%, almost reaching the critical point!

In the turbulent fiery red sea, Ye Shuo's spiritual power was running at high speed, a layer of air blade wrapped around his body, cut a gap in the fire wave, and rushed out.

boom!
The fire wave didn't catch up, Ye Shuo turned his head, and saw a solid barrier erected behind him at some point, its shape was somewhat similar to the spirit crystal shield, but the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted from the top were more intense.When the fire wave and the flame demon lion rushing forward hit this barrier, they all fell backwards in a state of embarrassment.

Ye Shuo took a few breaths, only then did he realize that he had inadvertently returned to the cave where he practiced before.And this cave has its own enchantment, but he didn't realize it at all before...

"Roar!" The flame demon lion roared, rolled on the ground, and jumped on it again.The two claws brought up a group of fierce wind, and slapped the barrier again and again.However, despite the earth-shattering sound of energy collisions, not even a dent appeared on that barrier.

Seeing that the flame demon lion couldn't get in, Ye Shuo heaved a sigh of relief and leaned against a rock to breathe.If the Flame Demon Lion of Huaqi level hadn't been worried about the danger of deduction of stats in battle, he wouldn't have to hide in such a panic.

It's just that with the average level of the disciples of the Fushimen, how dare the Shimen put in this level of monsters?Could it be that in this Valley of Desolation, the combat effectiveness of monsters also varies from person to person, and they just happen to be kept at a level slightly higher than the tester?So as a Qi-level cultivator, I ran into a Qi-level magical beast?

but……

Ye Shuo took out the instruction card and found that the value on the card had changed to 29%.

"Looks like you can't panic even if you're being chased..." Ye Shuo put the card away helplessly, ignoring the flame demon lion that was still slamming wildly outside, and looked directly into the depths of the cave.

When he first found this cave, he entered into cultivation without much searching, and he didn't know that there was any special existence here that could block the invasion of the flame demon lion.

Looking around now, the entire cave is not as narrow as it appears on the surface.A dark passage is hidden on the side of the cave wall. If it is in the dark, it is really easy to be ignored.

Walking along the passage, the front is always dark, and there is no strange scene.Because vision was always in the dark, even Ye Shuo began to doubt his own speculation.

Maybe there is nothing special here at all, it is just a resting place prepared by Fu Shimen for his disciples?So the enchantment outside the cave will only work on monsters?

If that's the case, it's just a waste of time to keep going.Ye Shuo was about to back down and continue to return to the position just now to concentrate on training. Since he was protected by that barrier, and the dry food on his body, it should be enough to last until the end of the trial.

However, as soon as this idea appeared, suddenly a ray of light floated in front of his eyes.

That's right, it's drifting by, not flashing, so that it won't make people feel dazzled.

"Is this implying that I will continue to move forward? The preparation is so thoughtful, is it possible that my every move is under his control?"

The curiosity in his heart once again attracted Ye Shuo to a deeper level.
