Text Chapter 608 The opening of the competition (2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There are certain reasons why the mortality rate is so high when climbing Kangchenjunga. First of all, the mountain is dangerous and the altitude is extremely high. Together with altitude sickness and severe hypoxia, the mortality rate is extremely high.

    In the hearts of local people, Kangchenjunga is their holy mountain, and in the hearts of international mountaineers, Kangchenjunga is a veritable mountain of death.

    We walked to the edge of the mountain range and were still far away from the center of the mountain. We passed through the glacier and rolling stone area and walked quickly through the mountains through the vast snow. No one on the four main peaks knew where the competition gathering place was. They were just searching aimlessly in the mountains.  It consumes a lot of energy.  Even for an almost superhuman person like Qu Wen, he found it difficult to maintain his physical strength after searching for a long time in the snow on the high mountains.

    "Could it be that we miscalculated in the wrong location? In fact, the gathering place for the competition is not in Kanchenjunga at all!" Yin Xiaofeng wiped the sweat from his head. In a place with several degrees below zero, he was still so hot that he was sweating all over.

    The same is true for Qu Wen and others. Only Zhong Kui is slightly better. Because of his practice, he still doesn't feel any heat at all after running fast in the mountains for most of the day.

    Qu Wen took a few long breaths, took out the map from his backpack, compared the surrounding environment, pointed and said: "It shouldn't be wrong. You can't see so many contestants in the city. If we are wrong,  Then they are also wrong. Since everyone thinks it is here, we must have not found it yet. We still have the main peak and the central peak that we have not found. I believe it is between these two peaks."

    It took a day and a half to find the two peaks. Excluding the day spent in the city, there was only a day and a half left.  By this time, the sky was getting dark again, and as the sky darkened, the temperature slowly dropped. Before long, the thermometer showed only about minus twelve degrees.

    "There are still a day and a half left, and there are still two peaks that we haven't found yet. I don't know if we are in a hurry." Mu Wuya raised his head and looked around.  It was a vast expanse of white, with nothing but white rocks and no sign of people gathering at all.

    "Could it be that we are looking for the wrong method?" Song Mingfeng, as the world's number one killer, his intuition and observation skills are far better than others, he said and thought for a moment.  After a while, he continued: "I think it is difficult to find it with the naked eye. Since this is a grand gathering of cultivators and superpowers, even finding the gathering place should be one of the test items. Why don't everyone take turns to release the Qi?  Come looking, maybe you can find your destination by relying on your true energy."

    Song Mingfeng¡¯s words made everyone¡¯s eyes brighten. Why hadn¡¯t they thought of this method before?  Yes, since it is a grand gathering of cultivators and superpowers.  Naturally, the strength of the representatives will be tested. Perhaps the selection competition has already begun from the moment the information is received.

    Thinking that these six people discussed it for a while, they decided to start with Song Mingfeng and Mu Wuya, the two people who did not need to participate in the competition, and then let go of their true energy to search in the order of Zhong Kui, Qu Wen, Yin Xiaofeng and Liang Shan.

    Running quickly in the mountains consumes a lot of energy, but if you add the energy to explore.  The required losses will double.

    Starting from Song Mingfeng, then Mu Wuya, the six of them had no intention of resting and took turns searching in the mountains.  After taking turns, it was already dark again, and now there was only the last day left before the selection and assembly time for the conference.

    After a day of searching in the snow-capped mountains, everyone was out of breath.  This extraordinary intensity of energy loss is not something ordinary cultivators can bear. It is estimated that this level alone can screen out a large number of players.

    He didn¡¯t speak. He almost didn¡¯t have the energy to speak at this moment, but the search had to continue.  At this time, Qu Wen was secretly glad to have brought Mu Wuya and Song Mingfeng to join him. If they hadn't taken the initiative to take on most of the search work, he and Zhong Kui would have been exhausted long ago.  For ordinary mountaineers, it usually takes one to two months to climb such a high mountain, but I only have three days, not counting the half day it takes to set off.  To reach an extremely secluded gathering point in such a short period of time is simply not something human beings can do.

    "There's still one day left. Let's grit our teeth. Maybe we are the only group that will arrive in the end, so we can easily win the top three. There won't even be a life-and-death battle." Qu Wen said optimistically, and everyone also  I knew this was delusional, but the pressure eased a little after hearing what he said.

    At this moment, Mu Wuya, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped, his cute face and brows furrowed.

    "Awen, your skills are more detailed. Come and see if there is true energy flowing down here?"

    Hearing this, Qu Wen jumped up to her side, activated his true energy, let go of all his remaining spiritual senses, and explored carefully. He followed the direction of the ground pointed by Mu Wuya, and sure enough, there was exactly where the two of them were standing.  There is a weak ray of true energy flowing slowly below.

    "It's down here!" Qu Wen couldn't help shouting with joy, after spending so much effort he finally found the entrance to the selection place.

    "Let me come." Zhong Kui walked to the front, shouted and a stream of qi was released from his hands.?? hit the snow in front of him heavily, scattering the snow above and around him, and then exposed a rusty bronze well surface under the thick white snow.

    The entire well surface is square, about one meter long and wide. There is no pattern on it. It is just surrounded by a circle of semicircular raised dots. It is very similar to the half-circle decoration on ancient Chinese city gates. It is extremely simple.

    Qu Wen was an antique appraiser by trade. When he saw this well surface, he habitually put his spiritual sense on it, and his eyes opened wider and wider as his spiritual sense was released.

    The simple and simple bronze well exudes a strong golden aura.

    "Now that we are here, please give me some more time." Qu Wen said and sat down cross-legged. After consuming so much infuriating energy, he suddenly encountered the bronze well surface made in ancient times. He felt like he had obtained the most precious treasure in the world, and was greedy.  Absorbing the spiritual energy from above.

    As the cultivation level increases, the absorption speed also increases. Even if the manhole cover is overflowing with spiritual energy, Qu Wen does not take much time to absorb all the spiritual energy on it.

    Zhong Kui and others knew that Qu Wen¡¯s skills were special and could be replenished by absorbing spiritual energy from all things in the world. When they saw him sitting cross-legged, they also sat down and meditated, recuperating the breath in their bodies for the last time before entering the selection place.

    As the spiritual energy on the well surface was absorbed bit by bit, Qu Wen's spiritual sense also gradually recovered, and the extra part turned into purer true energy and spread out of the body, inadvertently changing the surrounding energy in a very small area.  field.

    The surrounding zhenqi became more pure, which was beneficial but not harmful to Zhong Kui and the others. After a while, their faces became rosy after meditating attentively, and a lot of zhenqi was restored in a very short period of time.

    It took a total of one hour to meditate.  At the same time, absorbing the rich and pure Qi around him is like giving everyone a full meal.

    When Qu Wen opened his eyes for the last time, Yin Xiaofeng slapped him hard on the back.

    "You are a treasure, boy. If only you had known that I would follow you to practice in Shennong Valley. Just relying on the true energy emanating from your body, your cultivation level will increase a lot."

    Qu Wen only knows that the spiritual energy absorbed from everywhere is good for him.  Not knowing that the true energy he exudes is the same for others, he scratched his head and chuckled: "Then next time, how about I let you practice with me next time?"

    "We have to wait for the next time. Next time I will be over one hundred and twenty years old, and those who have participated once are not allowed to participate a second time, unless you have a way for me to travel through time and space."

    "no way."

    The two of them laughed.  Together they stood in front of the bronze well face again. Zhong Kui and Liang Shan pulled the well face at the same time. They heard a "knocking" friction sound under the well face. The bronze well face was lifted from one side by the two of them with great difficulty.  When the well surface was halfway open, Qu Wen and others couldn't help but stepped forward to push the well surface, and there was a loud "bang" sound.  The bronze well surface was flipped to the side, revealing the dark and narrow corridor inside.

    "This well surface weighs one or two thousand kilograms at least." Liang Shan rarely asked out of curiosity. It took a lot of effort for him and Zhong Kui to attack at the same time. Such a small well surface weighs so much, and he doesn't know what material it is made of.  Done.

    "It should be there, but I don't know what material it is made of. If I can take it back to find out, it might be a great discovery in the archaeological world." Qu Wen said.

    "Now that I have time to study this well surface, it is better to study where the corridor will lead." Compared with the well surface, Mu Wuya and the others are more curious about where the corridor will lead and what will be waiting for everyone inside.

    The air in the plateau was originally extremely thin, and the tunnels might have been sealed for thousands of years, let alone have any air at all. Maybe they were all filled with highly toxic methane.

    Qu Wen and others did not dare to be careless. They first held their breath and walked inside, and then tried to absorb the air inside little by little.  What a few people never expected was that not only was there no poisonous gas here, the air was also very good, and just taking a breath was refreshing.

    "The capital should send people here to investigate. An underground tunnel that has been sealed for thousands of years has such good air. But in such a large area of ??the capital, there is haze every day, and the air quality is not up to standard." Yin Xiaofeng said jokingly,  He is the one who has stayed in the capital the longest and knows the air quality in the capital better than anyone else.  I remember hearing him tell a joke once, about a friend from out of town who had just moved to the capital.  I insisted on running every morning, but after half a year of running, my health became worse and worse.

    Hearing his words, Qu Wen chuckled and said, "Forget it, those public servants would rather spend their money on Hawaii's sunny beaches ten thousand times than spend a dime to go to this high mountain snowfield."

    "That's right." Yin Xiaofeng nodded in agreement.

    There is nothing in the corridor. It slowly extends downward at a small angle. The light bulges on the wall in the shape of a semicircle. It is surrounded by ancient brick and stone walls. It is about five meters wide and more than four meters high. It only relies on the flashlights in the hands of a few people.  The light doesn't shine very far.  However, the eyesight of a few people is far better than that of ordinary people.This tunnel is estimated to be at least one kilometer long, leading straight to the depths of the mountain.

    Walking slowly along the way, Qu Wen doubted whether a few ancient ghost corpses would suddenly jump out in front of him.

    "This corridor is too long. Will it go straight to Longtun?" Liang Shan, who seldom spoke, suddenly spoke and made a cold joke that was not very funny. There are also many hidden people in the mountains around Qujia Village.  Qu Wen and Liang Shan always liked to run into the cave at the bottom of the cave when they were young. Once they ran too deep and almost couldn't get out. In the end, the whole village was alerted and they were found. For this reason, the two were banned for a whole week.  .

    "How is it possible? If this corridor can be extended to Longtun, then why should we go to all the trouble to get here? If it really extends to Longtun, then we may not be able to get there even if we walk for a year."

    They talked and laughed and changed many topics along the way. In the dark and long corridor, the six of them were as leisurely as if they were hiking. However, with the pace of six people, one step could surpass the steps of ordinary people. It took more than two hours to finally see  A faint light in the distance.

    The sight of light meant that they were almost at their destination. The six of them looked greatly invigorated, increased their energy, and flew forward in unison. The nearly one mile journey was almost there in an instant.

    When six people flew over the end of the corridor at the same time, the scenery in front of them shocked several people.

    The end of the corridor turned out to be a shockingly wide underground cave, extending downward layer by layer like an inverted pyramid.

    At the top of the cave hang colorful giant stalactites, the smallest of which is more than ten meters long.  I don't know what the reason is for it to shine outward, like countless crystal chandeliers, illuminating a deep underground cave as bright as day.

    "You are the representative of that aspect."

    As soon as the six people stopped, a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes flew closer and asked with a friendly expression.

    After meeting Chang Qingzi and Mu Wuya.  Qu Wen knew that the age of these people could not be judged by their appearance. They might only be in their thirties or forties, but they were hundreds of years old. Moreover, they were one of the organizers of this conference. The expressions of Qu Wen and others immediately became respectful.  A lot.

    "This is our entry card." Zhong Kui took out four silver-white signs. On the front, there was a dragon soaring upward, but it was painted completely black with black gold.  Make the tokens clear in black and white.  There is a faint flow of spiritual energy on the token, and this alone makes it impossible for the world to imitate.

    The blond man looked at it, accepted the four tokens, and then turned to Mu Wuya and Song Mingfeng: "Who are these two?"

    "They are investors." Zhong Kui said that according to the regulations of the conference, each force can have two investors follow the tour.  If it is a super large force.  The number of people accompanying the team can be increased to four to six.  Since Pluto is a newly rising force, he is extremely lucky to be able to participate in this conference.

    As he was talking, Mu Wuya walked forward and took out a token with a Ganoderma pattern engraved on it from his waist. When the blond man saw it, his expression changed and he became more friendly.

    "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were a friend of China's Shennong Valley. That being the case. Please come with me."

    This is the first time I have seen the token Quwen that Mu Wuya took out. It is like a certificate in the world of cultivation and its level is not low.

    Feeling curious, Qu Wen approached Mu Wuya and whispered in a flattering tone: "Sister Wuya, can you also help me get one of this brand?"

    "Okay, do you want to join us in Shennong Valley?" Mu Wuya asked, tilting his head.

    "This" Qu Wen was a little embarrassed, because he already had a pig-headed master in the world of cultivation. He didn't know if the pig-headed master in the sky would agree to join Shennong Valley.  However, Qu Wen has a deep affection for Shennong Valley. If it weren't for Chang Qingzi and Mu Wuya, he would not have reached the middle stage of returning to emptiness so quickly.  "I already have a pig-headed master in heaven, how can I join Shennong Valley?"

    "I don't know. Why didn't you ask my master earlier? I think your master is in the heaven. After passing the conference, you are just a person in the cultivation world. You should be able to join a master before entering the heaven. Forget it.  Yes, I will ask you questions when you see my master."

    "Okay." Qu Wen said no more.  Following the blond man, he walked slowly into the depths of the first level of the cave.

    Not far away, the blond man stopped in front of a large hole.

    "This is the resting place for Chinese Taoist players. You can move freely inside. If you want to go to the two nearby places, be careful. After entering here, the contestants will not be prevented from fighting each other, but it is forbidden to attack the sponsors.  Investors are not allowed to help players even if they take action, otherwise they will be eliminated early.¡±

    Hearing this, the six people turned and looked at the two large holes next to them. People of different races and skin colors were walking inward. Occasionally, there were also Asian faces who were led inside. It can be imagined that those were Asians who had joined the other two worlds.  The blond man said that from now on, there are no restrictions on the players fighting each other.In other words, the selection of life and death officially begins from here.

    Thinking that although the people gathered in the cave in front of him were fellow Taoists, they might also be competitors fighting each other, Qu Wen couldn't help but swallowed deeply. The rules of the Black Dragon Conference are really cruel!

    "Since we can start free fighting here, if everyone is in a mess on this floor and there are only a few people left, can we directly enter the life and death battle of the thirty-two strong ones?"

    "Of course." The blond man replied with a smile.  "But this has never happened before in so many sessions. Each session has to go through a melee before reaching the top 32. You can rest here for a while, and when the selection deadline is over, those who can reach it will be sent together.  The next level, from there to the bottom level is a place for melee. No matter how strong they are, the first thirty-two people who reach the bottom level can participate in the top thirty-two matches, and the remaining players will be treated equally regardless of life or death.  disuse."

    "That's it!" Qu Wen swallowed deeply again. Doesn't this mean that everyone should form a team first and then start a duel? There is no humaneness in the arrangement of a competition like this, because the melee must be kneaded into a ball first, and the one who is alone must be eliminated first.  , and they will become mortal enemies in the end. Do you think this rule is cruel?

    After answering several questions in succession, the blond man raised his hand and asked the six people to go inside.

    "If you still have any questions, there will be other staff inside to answer them for you. Finally, I wish you all good luck in martial arts."

    "Thank you!" Qu Wen and the other six thanked the blond man at the same time, and then walked together to the resting place where the Taoist family was.

    The first thing I saw when I walked inside was a lot of people, about a hundred people. Such a huge number shocked Qu Wen and others. They thought that after passing the snow mountain level, the number of contestants would be reduced by half, but they didn¡¯t expect that they would  One party was almost the last group to arrive.

    By this time, people from the Sixth Department of Public Security were already sitting inside. There were a total of twelve people including the investors, eight of whom were contestants.  Looking at the bulging temples above their ears from a distance, you can tell how deep their cultivation is.
