Chapter 92 Advancing in the Gobi

"It's getting late today. You all should rest here for a while. We will have a new trial tomorrow morning."

The old man touched his beard, said with a smile, then waved and left.

As he waved and left, the scene in the room gradually changed and turned into something like a dormitory.

The large hall became warm, and beds appeared one after another.

Divide into three neat rows, arranged from left to right.

Just enough to cope with the number of people.

Seeing this situation, everyone present suddenly became a little quiet, and then started to become noisy again. They chose beds to rest in twos and threes.

Okay, everyone has begun to get a little familiar with each other. They did not argue about the location of the beds and quickly found their own beds.

"When have I, the noble son of the Prince of Jin, ever slept in a place like this? Alas."

The young master murmured softly, then shook his head helplessly and sat on the bed.

Zhuang Cai and others happened to be on the bed next to him, clearly listening to his complaints.

"Brother, this seems different from what you said." A man who looked a little reckless asked from under the young master's bed.

It seems that the two were in the same team before. When they entered the dungeon, they looked a little miserable.

Zhuang just remembered.

When the two people came out, they still seemed to be carrying the body of a teammate.

And this strong man looked much more rude, obviously similar to a rough man in the market.

In a normal ancient society, it would be almost impossible for the two to communicate like this.

"Maybe it's different every time."

With that said, the young man just lay down on the bed.

Although he said he was disgusted, he still made a comfortable sound after lying down.

This day's trial was still too tiring for those of them whose physiques were slightly stronger than normal people.

Not to mention that in the last trial, he experienced life-threatening danger, even though he had expected it.

There are so many people in the same room, and everyone has just come out of the trial. Even if we are a little tired, we still have to chat and get to know each other.

After all, there is no better opportunity than now. Who knows if there won’t be some team-up trials in the future.

Zhuang Cai and others, who came out in the neatest formation and looked the most relaxed, naturally became the people everyone wanted to communicate with and get to know each other.

The young master looked at Zhuang Cai and the others, cupped their hands and said, "I am the son of Prince Chang Jin, and today I see that these brothers are really impressive."

Wu Nian, who was right next to him, smiled and nodded slightly when he heard this. He clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Amitabha, the donor is very grateful."

Zhuang Cai and Nan Su Bei, who were sleeping on the edge, did not join in the chat for the time being, but were chatting with each other.

"When we talk later, ask them what they experienced in the dungeon." Zhuang Cai said.

Hearing this, Nan Subei nodded in understanding. It is indeed useful to use other people's dungeon experiences as a comparison.

Soon the two of them joined in the chatting of these people.

The four of them mainly listened to what these people were saying, and added a few words from time to time.

According to the knowledge of the real world, at least they were having a good time talking to each other without any sane person being a spoiler.

It also allowed Zhuang Cai and others to understand the world and the people in front of them better.

Since the trials during the day had left everyone mentally exhausted, after just chatting for a while, some people fell on the bed and fell asleep.

As slight snoring sounded, the others became more or less sleepy and dispersed.

At this moment, the candles in the warm room automatically went out one by one.

Soon the whole room was snoring one after another.

Zhuang Cai lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling.

From the chats of these people, he probably also knew that the background of this world was not as he thought, and he could often see the existence of so-called immortals.

Most places can at least know it from the mouths of these people now, although they come from all directions.

But they didn't go too far, the farthest distance from this place was only a few hundred kilometers.

Basically, they have never seen true extraordinary power in their entire lives.

The general background is just like ancient China, except that here several dynasties stand in harmony.

According to their simple understanding, at least the currently known territory does accommodate many countries.

And they.

We all know from various channels that the so-called Daofeng exists.

At least 70% of these people had someone in their family who had been here and climbed here during the previous opening of the mountain.

Basically it is a family inheritance.

Regardless of whether you have that qualification or not, at least give it a try.

Most of these people are basically ordinary people, without any extraordinary power. Perhaps what is different from people today is their physique, which must be at least a little stronger.

Zhuang Cai estimated that their physical attributes were around 8.

In addition, there are the trials they have experienced today.

After Nansubei started attacking from the side, Wu Nian and Taoist Master Tian seemed to understand their thoughts and began to ask relevant questions.

After bringing up these topics, everyone naturally started chatting with each other. What are the differences between their respective trials?

Then you can know that their trials are completely different from Zhuang Cai and the others, at least a whole level lower than Zhuang Cai and the others.

I didn't see any so-called fantasy powers during the trial at all, they were just some powerful battlefield soldiers or mountain bandits.

It's not at the same level as what they met.

So this trial is still customized based on the strength of the person who wants to participate in the trial?

Only this statement makes sense for the time being, and it is also very logical.

Just thinking like this, it wasn't until a long time later that Wu Nian woke up and patted Zhuang Cai, and Zhuang Cai fell asleep.

Until the next morning, a bell rang. Everyone woke up individually, and when they woke up, they saw hot white porridge beside the bed.

After eating this bowl of hot porridge and feeling full of energy, they arrived at the square, where the old man had been waiting for them for a long time.

Looking at the crowd, he stretched out his hand and something like a huge portal appeared in front of him.

Compared with the portals in the trials they had entered before, this portal was much larger.

If the portal they had before was a small door to a room, then the size of the portal they saw now should be similar to the main entrance of a mansion.

"Not much to say, for today's trial, you just need to go in one by one.

Once it comes out, it will naturally be considered as passing.

Trials can identify your talents and temper your will. After passing it, you can obtain the Taoist secret method of Daofeng. "

Hearing this, everyone had happy expressions on their faces.

However, there are still a large number of people who are not surprised. It seems that they can get what they want in the second trial.

Nan Subei couldn't help but say: "In other words, as long as you clear the second trial, you have actually cleared this dungeon?"

"It's possible, it's also possible that there will be another trial after the second trial, and you can get more points?" Zhuang Cai couldn't help but add.

This is also very normal and logical.

Soon everyone filed in and entered the huge portal.

When Zhuang Cai stepped over, the spinning feeling that penetrated the film and passed through the portal before came over again.

As soon as the surrounding area becomes dark, other scenery appears.

He now appeared in a valley full of wind and sand.

On both sides are steep cliffs going straight up.

And he was in this canyon, which stretched straight forward.

Line day.

People often use this name to refer to this kind of terrain.

It's like a crack in the mountains, going straight to the bottom of the mountain.

It's like a gap between two overlapping peaks.

The wind and sand are blowing by, and you can still feel a touch of heat in the air.

The towering cliffs and peaks have blocked the sunlight outside, so at least it still feels a little cold here.

The ground beneath our feet was barren soil filled with yellow sand, with only the gravel particles moving in the wind.

Zhuang Cai looked at the surrounding environment.

The surrounding area looks completely similar to a dry Gobi environment, with almost no greenery visible at the bottom of the cliff and on the cantilevers.

All that can be seen is the overhanging wasteland that has been worn away by the wind and sand.

He held the forging hammer that was not in attack mode in his right hand, and walked slowly forward with a flying knife in his left hand.

There doesn't seem to be any danger in this desolate place yet.

Zhuang Cai stepped on this wasteland and walked among the mountains and canyons.

The only sounds around were the howling wind in the mountains and the sound of sand and rocks being blown.

It was so desolate that not even a shred of green could be seen in the field of vision.

In addition to being desolate, you can only see some almost completely dry branches and branches from time to time.

It indicates that there was once a hint of green here.

He kept walking like this for who knows how long, and Zhuang Cai couldn't help but stand where he was.

"what's the situation?"

If he didn't feel wrong, he might have left already, it should have been an hour, right?

He couldn't help but open his wide sleeves and stretched out his hand to take a look at the watch he had been wearing.

However, I don’t know if it was because of the trial. I had a feeling in the previous copy that the watch didn’t seem to be very effective.

In this copy, the watch was basically completely disabled, and it was no different from the time he came in. The hands have stopped completely, as if they were broken.

Lower your hands again.

Zhuang Cai looked around and couldn't help but turn around.

The surrounding scenery is still the same, perhaps with some changes, or perhaps not completely indistinguishable.

A single desolate tone.

It seems that even the sun blocked by the mountain peaks has not moved. The shadows and sunlight shining down are still in the same place.

"A trial that tempers your will and tests your patience?"

Zhuang Cai couldn't help but murmured and asked.

After all, it was said that this was a trial, so there must be something to practice.

It is also very possible to hone the will and patience of the tester.

Many things require enough patience, a calm and impetuous mind, and a steady and slow approach.

After all, the power of the East is all about calmness and success.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Cai temporarily hung the forging hammer on his waist.

I can only continue to stroll forward.

As we continued to move forward, no matter how much time passed, different scenery changes finally appeared on the cliffs on both sides.

Some dilapidated pavilions and temples hang on the cliffs on both sides.

It seems to be built on the cliff.

The appearance looks a bit like a temple and pavilion, but the appearance is truly dilapidated. It has been abandoned for who knows how many years.

These building complexes have almost collapsed, with more than half of them damaged. They have been worn away by wind and sand over time.

After such a long time, there was finally something different, and Zhuang Cai naturally leaned over there.

However, he still remained vigilant, holding the broken hammer in his hand and expanding it into attack mode.

Looking at the thing under my feet, I couldn't help but kick it.

Sure enough, the gravel underfoot was not gravel at all.

It's some broken skulls.

This road is full of yellow sand.

Just a skull and not a whole corpse.

It also indicates that it seems not very safe here.

However, Zhuang Cai cautiously entered these broken buildings.

I found that this place was really completely dilapidated, and it was all filled with rubble and debris.

But there are still some murals and Buddha statues carved on the walls.

Other than that, there was nothing and silence.

It's dangerous, there's nothing moving.

This temple is not big, and apart from being too dilapidated to enter, it appears to be completely empty and devoid of anything.

After confirming that there was no information, Zhuang Cai could only move forward helplessly.

"What are you going to do?" Zhuang Cai asked impatiently.

But I had to move on.

Because there is no other way here except forward and backward, unless Zhuang Cai also wants to climb the rock with his bare hands and climb to the top of this steep cantilever.

Clearly this is a trial.

And the people who created this trial don't seem to want people to do this.

I just want people to move forward.

I don't know how long I have been walking in this desolate valley like this, but the distance has long exceeded the normal distance in the valley of Yixiantian.

The slightly changed scenery around him made people no longer want to turn their heads, and Zhuang Cai only became a little numb.

After such a long time, he didn't feel too tired, nor did he feel hungry or thirsty. He just moved forward in a daze.

The body has become like a machine and is moving forward.

If this trial wants to test one's will and patience, he must admit that its purpose has been fully achieved.

Zhuang Cai didn't even have too many thoughts anymore, he just walked forward aimlessly.

Moving forward tirelessly and tirelessly.

Everything seems to be frozen in an endless road canyon.

There is no overlap yet, but there is infinite progress.

Finally I don’t know how long it was.

In a daze, Zhuang Cai couldn't help but rub his eyes, and his divergent thoughts began to gradually come together.

Because another new thing finally appeared in front of him, which was a village standing directly in front of the road. Although the village still looked dilapidated, at least something different appeared.

Zhuang Cai's mood couldn't help but return to excitement from numbness. He walked quickly towards the village, and when he stood at the entrance of the village and looked inside, he felt a little regretful. It looked like a dead village without any human habitation.

The wind and sand blew away, leaving only desolation.

Zhuang Cai walked in and saw a completely dry well in the square in the middle of the village.

The probe looked inside the houses in these villages. Although they were well preserved, they were equally desolate inside. Basically, everything that could be moved had been moved.

So there are no traces worth seeing.

It's a desolate place again.

It just changed its form and appeared in front of him.

"call."

After exhaling, Zhuang Cai had no choice but to circle around a few times and appeared outside the village again.

Look at the end of the field of vision ahead.

Shaking his head helplessly.

How long does it take to walk?

I don't know if there is any way to get out, it seems there is not.

The watch on his hand stopped spinning, which seemed to indicate that this was not reality.

Zhuang Cai has begun to have serious doubts, and is even sure that this is some kind of spiritual world, otherwise he would not be like this now, except that he is mentally exhausted, physically hungry, and thirsty.

Just mentally exhausted and a little numb.

The village behind him gradually disappeared.

Zhuang Cai seemed to be returning to the kind of exhaustion that kept moving forward, when there was a sudden sound in his ears.

This sound made Zhuang Cai's eyes brighten, and he took a few steps to look at that place.

He finally.

Finally I saw something moving in this damn place.

The wind and sand and the unchanging color tone make its vision a bit low.

I blinked and rubbed my eyes twice, then took a few steps closer to see it.

Not far away there seemed to be a completely dried up skeleton.

A walking skeleton.

With his back to Zhuang Cai's direction, he was moving forward.

Step by step.

Zhuang Cai slowly leaned over and the broken hammer in his hand had expanded into attack mode.

He was getting closer and closer to the skeleton, as if he was not aware of its existence at all and was just walking forward staggeringly.

Zhuangcai frowned as if he noticed something, and slowly put the hammer down, approaching the skeleton.

Although he remained vigilant, the skeleton didn't even turn its skull, but moved forward slowly.

Zhuang Cai took two steps and even appeared on the side of the skeleton. He still did not do anything else.

He didn't make any attack move until Zhuang Cai was standing in front of him.

He waved his hand twice in front of him.

He just regarded Zhuang Cai as a stone blocking the road and seemed to want to go around.

"The moving skeleton seems to have no soul, like a forward program made of machines."

Standing by and watching.

"It's like I'm constantly moving forward, and I'm constantly moving forward."

Does the appearance of this skeleton mean something?

Zhuang Cai couldn't help but think of it.

What do you want to say to him? Or was it showing him the tone of the place?

However, the skeleton was walking too slowly. As it moved slowly, Zhuang Cai took two steps to catch up.

Then Zhuang looked forward and saw more.

He saw more skeletons, like the one next to him, moving forward and slowly moving.

They seemed like pilgrims on this road, with only one option left: moving forward.
