"Congratulations to Xu Dezhi for passing all the first level trials. Please go to the pavilion immediately."

This passage is different from the previous two. Also, where is this pavilion?

I can't figure it out, but I don't feel safe standing in this open space, so I'd better find a platform and get out of here.

While walking blindly, a forest appeared not far away. My eyes lit up and I walked quickly towards it.

Regardless of whether this forest is the same as the forest where Hu Qi took me to stay for a night in the first place, as long as there are so many obstacles to resist after entering the forest, no matter what happens, there will be a place for me to hide.

I was still a little cautious when I entered the forest. My back has not fully healed yet. The fight with Fake Xiuya took a lot of energy from me, and I am already exhausted.

After I repeatedly confirmed that the place was safe, I jumped on the branches and rested peacefully on a thick tree.

I had just closed my eyes and hadn't rested for two minutes when a loud sound came from below.

In this situation where everyone is my enemy, I don't dare to take it lightly. The slightest sound is enough to alarm me.

No one below noticed me, so I held my breath and concentrated, trying to minimize my presence.

There were two people entering the forest below, chasing each other one behind the other.

As they ran, a strong smell of blood wafted up from their bodies.

I don’t know if the two are enemies, or if one of them was injured after the trial and the other wanted to take advantage.

Seeing the two people fighting each other, I recalled what Hu Qi had said before that the rules had been changed.

Now you can not only pass the first level by passing the trials of wronged souls one by one, but you can also get some benefits by killing other trialists.

Hu Qi didn't say it clearly at the time, but I guess there are only two reasons that can make these people take action, either the trial stone, or something within the magic weapon promised by the Gate of Life and Death.

But this has nothing to do with me. I am not some holy lady who wants to help you with anything.

The injury on his body has not healed yet, but it is really difficult for him to protect himself when crossing the river, and he cannot interfere with other people's affairs. The matter of true and false Xiuya has just ended, so he must be on guard.

Just when I closed my eyes and was about to rest, the two people below started talking.

One of them complained, "Why is there no one here?"

Another person was a little impatient but still patiently comforted, "This place is too big. It's normal for it to be spread out widely. Didn't we still encounter a lone person yesterday?"

My guess was indeed correct, these two people were working together, but this kind of routine was really not feasible. I looked down to see who these two people were, so that I could be prepared if I met them in the future.

Through the obstruction of the leaves, before I could see the two people clearly, one of them said, "Why doesn't your wound stop bleeding? Let me bandage it for you."

The two men lowered their heads to bandage the wound, and could see that the other person had already raised the dagger attached to his arm and slipped it into his palm, ready to take action at any time.

It can be seen that the alliance between the two people is not very strong, just when the person behind is about to take action.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the forest, and the two hurriedly hid behind the tree.

And I also noticed the poisonous needle in the other person's hand.

It seems that these two people are also on guard against each other. When they break up, the fighting will definitely not be less exciting.

It's a pity that my opportunity to watch the excitement is gone.

A group of people appeared after a while. When the two seemingly inseparable partners saw that they were not a team that they could afford, they all hurriedly left behind the tree.

The purpose of hosting the Gate of Life and Death has been achieved, and many people in the trial chose to kill each other.

I have cleared the level now, but I still can't find the platform to leave. I don't want to cause any trouble.

The few people below seemed to be a small team, discussing the next direction.

Finally, they headed south, while the two just now headed west.

In this way, if I want to leave, I can only start from the north.

I don't know why, but the longer I stay here, the more flustered I feel, as if something is about to happen.

As soon as they left, I walked towards the north where I wouldn't run into the two groups of people.

I don’t know how long I walked, but I guess it was almost two hours before I saw a glimmer of light.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and I finally walked out of the forest. The leaves inside were layered, and not much sunlight penetrated. Being exposed to the sun just made me feel refreshed.

I walked towards the north for a while and saw a pillar standing in the distance.

I speeded up. This place was weird and suspicious. When I walked over, I saw that it was a simple platform.

It was a little different from the obvious bus stop I saw before. Here it was just a pillar and a round sign. I lifted up the goose-yellow stone I got from Fake Xiuya.

The round sign also lit up, and I knew the car would be here soon.

Looking at the stone in my hand, I took out the crimson stone I got earlier and put it in my hand for observation.

These two colors seem to be related to the previous three colors of blue, blue, red, and yellow.

Just as I was thinking about it, the car came. After putting these two stones away, I got in the car.

I didn't relax at all while sitting in this car. I was sitting so well the first two times, but then things changed. I didn't want to be trapped in this crappy place.

The journey was unexpectedly smooth. The car stopped under a building and the door opened on its own, as if cueing me to get out.

After I got off the car, I looked at the building in front of me and guessed that this must be the pavilion mentioned in the text message.

There was a woman in a cheongsam standing inside the pavilion. When she saw me coming in, she smiled slightly, without showing her teeth. She behaved in an elegant and graceful manner. She bent down and pointed forward, gesturing for me to follow.

I thought that this elegant beauty was the person in charge here, but I didn't expect that when I turned the corner and walked around the screen, I found a study room.

The man who looked like a middle-aged man was dressed meticulously in a Chinese tunic suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, staring at the paper on the desk in front of him attentively.

The beauty walked up to the man with a swaying waist, bent down and whispered something in his ear.

The man looked up at me and looked me up and down. He took out a bag from the cabinet and put it on the table. The contents inside made a sound when they fell on the table, and it seemed to be quite heavy.

"Xu Dezhi, continue or leave."
Chapter completed!
