Chapter 860 Test

"Brother Li, you said that if we join this mysterious city, will they restrict our actions?" Shi Chuankong said first.

"It's not necessarily restricted. I'm afraid there will be more or less things or tasks assigned, which will inevitably delay some time. The living environment here is extremely harsh. Those who can survive must pay something and follow the rules here. "Han Li said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid that things will be entangled. I don't want to really join some Xuancheng and become a obedient citizen." Shi Chuankong said with a curl of his lips.

"As the situation forces us, we can only take one step at a time. Try to be careful. After all, we are new here and don't know much about the situation here." Han Li shook his head and said.

"Brother Li thinks that these people will harm us?" Shi Chuankong scratched his head and said.

"I don't think anyone who can be regarded as a prisoner by your sanctuary and abandoned here is a kind person. If they were merciful, they probably wouldn't be able to live today." Han Li said with a sigh.

"It's true, it's necessary to be defensive." Shi Chuankong said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Li, fellow Daoist Shi, what do you think of Chen Yang?" Daoist Xie suddenly said.

"The time of contact is still short, but judging from how he gets along with his subordinates, as well as his words and deeds these days, it seems to be pretty good." Shi Chuankong said.

"Why, fellow Daoist Xie, did you find something unusual?" Han Li asked with a slight frown.

"No. I just feel that he has not known us for a long time, but he is willing to break Xuancheng's rules for us. It seems that he has gone too far..." Taoist Xie pondered.

"This... I don't think it's anything. It's just a way to win people's hearts. I've seen it too much." Shi Chuankong said with a smile.

"Although there may not be a monster if something goes wrong, we must not relax." Han Li said thoughtfully.

...

While the three of Han Li were talking, there was a huge hall on the top floor of the mountainside on the left wing of Qingyang City.

There are huge braziers hanging on the walls of the hall, which seem to be made of the skulls of some giant beasts. The fat inside burns continuously and emits bright light, illuminating the entire hall brightly.

In the middle of it against the wall, there is a huge stone table case, engraved with many complicated patterns that are not common in this scaled sky, but they are all night star maps.

Behind the table, there was a large black stone chair covered with the hide of an unknown giant beast, and a burly man in black robe sat on it.

There are black scales on half of its cheeks, but the other half seems to have been burned by flames, and its muscles are all knotted together. In addition, its figure is twice as tall as a normal person, and its muscles are bulging and exaggerated, making it look very vicious and ugly.

However, one pair of pupils is very special, the eyes are mostly white, the pupils are small, and the edge of the black pupils is like ink, and there is a circle of silvery white luster embedded in it.

Not far from the table in front of him, Chen Yang was bowing his waist with joy, telling him something.

"My lord, the situation of those three people is basically like this." In the end, I just listened to him say so.

The man he called the city owner was none other than Du Qingyang, the owner of Qingyang City.

"Hey, a human race, a demon race, and a self-aware puppet are a very interesting combination... The news of these three people has not spread out, right?" Du Qingyang leaned forward, clasped his hands to support his chin, Said with interest.

"Don't worry, the city lord. I know the benefits of this matter. I have told my brothers that they are keeping their mouths tight and will not spread the word." Chen Yang quickly assured.

"Well, I heard that Xuancheng and Puppet City robbed a person earlier, but it failed, which made Lord Ejiu very dissatisfied. It is said that the person newly entered this place of exile from the outside world. Now, we once Xing picked up two, and if Xuancheng finds out, don't even think about keeping one of them." Du Qingyang glanced at Chenyang and said.

"It doesn't matter that demon man. That human race can't be handed over. He contains the blood of the true spirit. If someone else gets it, it will be a big loss." Chen Yang nodded repeatedly.

"I'm at ease when you do things. Go ahead and do what's next, don't make any mistakes." Du Qingyang straightened up, leaned back, and said lazily.

"Yes! Don't worry, Lord City Master." Chen Yang cupped his fists and said respectfully. .

...

at dusk.

Han Li was practicing the "Fathering and Ascension Art" in the guest room when suddenly there was a knock on the thin stone door.

After he got up and opened the door, he saw Chen Yang standing outside the door with an apologetic face.

Han Li let him into the guest room, and heard him say:

"Brother Li, I'm really sorry. I originally thought that with my own face, I could save a few of you from the evaluation, but instead of selling my face, the city lord scolded me. The city lord called a city rule , is the foundation of the city, and we must obey it."

"It doesn't matter. Since we want to join Qingyang City, we should abide by the rules of Qingyang City. This test can be done as we like." Han Li waved his hand quickly when he heard this, and said in a leisurely manner.

"Although the city lord did not promise to be exempted from the test, he promised that as long as you all meet the standards of obedient citizens after the test, you can join my hunting team together, and you don't have to split up and go to other places." Chen Yang said again.

"Oh, I don't know what the standard of obedience is?" Han Li raised his brows slightly and said.

"In this evaluation, what is looked at is the physical strength of the person being tested. Specifically, it is to look at the number of profound orifices opened. Those with more than sixteen profound orifices can meet the standard of obedience, and those who are not enough Those who have more than fifty-four orifices can serve as the captain of the city defense team, and those with more than seventy-two can serve as the captain of the hunting team." Chen Yang explained.

Han Li's heart moved slightly. When he saw Chen Yang that day, he only showed fifty or sixty profound orifices. From this, it can be seen that the real orifices he opened up may not be limited to this.

"I see. I don't know when the evaluation will be carried out? I just heard what the two recorders said. It seems that the first thing to do after entering the city is to conduct the evaluation?" Han Li's thoughts turned in his mind, and he asked again.

"No hurry, no hurry. Brother Li and Brother Shi have traveled a long distance to come here, it was very hard. Today you all should have a solid night's rest, and the evaluation will be left for tomorrow." Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Alright. Then thank you fellow Daoist Chen." Han Li clasped his fists and said.

"Brother Li, don't be polite to me. I'm really guilty of not being able to get the test exemption done." Chen Yang waved his hand hurriedly and said.

"Haha, Brother Chen, don't do this, otherwise Li will feel guilty." Han Li laughed.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Chen Yang bid farewell and left.

Han Li returned to the house, pondered for a while, and then sat down cross-legged again. After swallowing a beast core, he continued to practice with his eyes closed.

the second day.

Early in the morning, Han Li and the others followed the morning sun down to the third floor of Qingyang City. From the ground floor to the right, they passed through the black fortress and came to the mountain peak on the right.

It is basically the same as the pattern on the left side, and the mountain peak on the right is also divided into four layers.

As soon as he passed through the huge doorway on the bottom of the mountain and entered the mountainside, Han Li saw huge animal pens separated by stone walls, almost all of which housed huge animals of various colors.

Among them were the giant blue and gray beasts covered in scales that Chen Yang's team had brought with them when they went out.

In the animal pen, many descendants in gray robes could be seen coming and going, doing some chores of cleaning and feeding the animals, looking quite busy.

A group of people did not stay on this floor and went directly to the second floor.

The space on the second floor is slightly smaller than the first floor, and there are also huge stone chambers and animal pens distributed inside.

What's different from the first floor is that the animals in the animal pen here are obviously not as obedient as those on the first floor. They are either showing their jagged teeth and roaring, or hitting the fence with their bodies.

Most of the people guarding these animal pens are descendants dressed as servants, but some obedient citizens who are responsible for guarding the city can also be seen among them, and they take action from time to time to teach those restless beasts a lesson.

Chen Yang led the three of them up all the way, and stopped when they reached the third floor.

As soon as he arrived on the third floor, Han Li saw two somewhat familiar faces. One was a round-faced man with sharp corners between his brows, and the other was a cold-faced man with a square face and long ears. Both were wearing crimson robes, but It was the two recorders who met yesterday.

After Chen Yang went up to exchange greetings with the two, he was guided by them to an independent stone room.

The size of this stone room is not small, much larger than Chenyang's Dongfu, but there is no division of rooms in it, nor any redundant furnishings. At first glance, it looks like a school yard built indoors.

"Puppets don't need to be tested. Which of you two will come first?" The long-eared and square-faced record officer glanced at Han Li and the two, and said coldly.

"Anyway, we have to test. It doesn't matter who comes first. I'll do it first." Han Li was about to speak when Shi Chuankong said.

"Okay, then please... Fellow Daoist Shi, take a step up to the stone platform here first." The round-faced recorder said with a smile.

On the ground in the middle of the room, there is a black stone platform with a radius of tens of feet, which is only two feet above the ground. There seems to be a layer of white crystal powder on it, which slightly reflects the luster of the lights in the house.

Shi Chuankong walked up as he said, and came to the middle of the stone platform.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, you don't need to take any complicated actions. You just need to activate your own profound arts and light up all the profound orifices opened up on your body." The round-faced recorder reminded.

Shi Chuankong nodded, and after clenching his fists for a while, he suddenly let out a loud shout.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of hazy white light lit up on his body, and one after another mysterious orifices lit up on the body surface.

Han Li first released his consciousness to sweep over the black stone platform and the white crystal powder, and after noticing anything unusual, he focused his eyes slightly and landed on Shi Chuankong.

He saw groups of mysterious orifices light up on Shi Chuankong's body soon.

Ten regiments, twenty regiments, thirty regiments...

Seeing this, Han Li's heart skipped a beat.

Judging from the current trend, Shi Chuankong should have opened up a lot more profound orifices than himself.

Sure enough, after the thirty-seventh profound orifice on his body lit up, the thirty-eighth profound orifice lit up again, and it didn't stop until the forty-fifth profound orifice lit up.

At the same time, an invisible aura erupted from his body, causing the white crystal powder at his feet to ripple and float away.

The corner of Shi Chuankong's mouth curled up into a smile, and when he was about to withdraw his exercises and walk down, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

I saw those white crystal powders seemed to be attracted by something, and they were circling and flying around their bodies to absorb them away.

Because the distance was too short and the speed was too fast, before Shi Chuankong could do anything, those crystal powders were already attached to Shi Chuankong's body.

The next moment, there was a burst of strange noises from Shi Chuankong's body, and the forty-sixth, forty-seventh, and forty-eight profound orifices lit up one after another.
