The three-day period is here in a blink of an eye.
In the early morning, Demon Suppression Division's huge martial arts arena, all Imperial Guard who participated in the trial gathered here, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Li Qingsui was dressed in silver armor and stood on the high platform with a heroic appearance, his cold eyes scanning everyone below.
"Within Hundred Demon Cave, you are responsible for life and death! There is only one rule, get Demon Core, the one with the highest points wins!"
After she finished speaking, she waved her jade hand, and an ancient array rose into the sky.
Buzz--!
The space was violently distorted, and a huge space portal, ten feet high and shining with faint blue light, slowly opened in the center of the martial arts field.
Behind the door, there was endless darkness, a cold, chaotic, rich Yao Qi mixed with endless violence, blowing in the face like a strong wind, making everyone present feel palpitations.
Lu Chen took a deep breath and glanced at Yang Xiong, Wang Teng and Zhao Wuji not far away, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
Hidden Dragon Trial, officially started!
All the Imperial Guards looked at each other, their eyes flashing with excitement and determination, and then they entered the huge space portal like crucian carp crossing a river.
Lu Chen blends in the crowd and is inconspicuous.
The moment he stepped through the door, he felt a dizzy feeling.
The next moment, I felt a down-to-earth feeling, and my whole body was tightly wrapped in a cold, chaotic, and bloody atmosphere.
This is Hundred Demon Cave.
The sky was a strange dark red, the earth was scorched black, and in the distance, jagged rocks looked like the bones of giant beasts, and strange-shaped plants exuded an ominous light.
"Roar!"
"Kill!"
Almost as soon as he landed, a fierce battle broke out not far from him.
Some impatient Imperial Guard either wanted to seize the opportunity or landed directly near the demon's lair and immediately started fighting with the demon.
The flash of swords, the roar of True Qi, along with the roars of demons and the roars of humans, made this dead ancient battlefield immediately become noisy.
However, Lu Chen made a completely different choice from everyone the first time it landed.
He did not rush to find the demon, but immediately activated the perfect state <Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Art>.
In an instant, the Qi and Blood, True Qi fluctuations throughout his body, as well as his heartbeat and breathing, all dropped to an imperceptible level, and the whole person seemed to be integrated with the surrounding environment.
His body swayed and he merged silently into the shadow of a huge rock, like a real stubborn rock, calmly observing his surroundings.
Pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, and taking advantage of others, this is his style.
The power of his soul is far beyond that of the same level. It is like a large invisible net that slowly spreads out, sensing everything around it.
He avoided those areas where Yao Qis were soaring to the sky, where strong Great Demon demons were obviously entrenched, and he also bypassed the battlefields where Imperial Guards were fighting. Like the most patient hunter, he walked around the edges of the battlefield, looking for lone and high-value prey.
Soon, his soul sensed a target.
Deep in a black swamp that exudes stench, there is a Yao Qi in the early stage of Meridian Opening lurking. Its aura is obscure and sticky, and it is obviously some kind of demon that is good at hiding.
Lu Chen's figure is like a ghost, approaching quietly.
He pushed aside a rotten bush and saw in the black swamp, a giant crocodile that was more than five feet long and covered with ugly scales that looked like rotten bark, half floating on the water, only revealing a pair of cold and cruel vertical pupils.
[Rotten-Hide Crocodile Demon], Meridian Opening early stage.
This monster's defense power is extremely amazing, and it can spit poisonous marsh gas from its mouth, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
If you fight head-on, even if you win, there will definitely be a lot of noise and you may even get injured.
Lu Chen has no such intention.
He retreated quietly, picked up a stone the size of a human head, poured some True Qi into it, and threw it towards the other side of the swamp.
Plop!
The stone fell into the water and made a loud noise.
The Rotten-Hide Crocodile Demon turned its head suddenly, thinking that prey was coming, and its huge body stirred up the smelly mud, and swam quickly over.
The moment it left its original lurking position, Lu Chen moved!
<Shadow Demon Trace Steps> was operating to the extreme, and his figure left an afterimage on the solid ground at the edge of the swamp. He continued to harass and lure with stones, but always maintained a safe distance from Rotten-Hide Crocodile Demon.
"Roar!"
Rotten-Hide Crocodile Demon was completely enraged by this fly, let out a violent roar, and jumped out of the swamp. His heavy body smashed a big hole in the ground, opened his bloody mouth, and chased after Lu Chen crazily.
Just what I wanted!
Leaving the swamp, this crocodile monster's speed and agility are greatly reduced.
Lu Chen's figure is erratic, constantly wandering around it.
The moment Rotten-Hide Crocodile Demon turned around awkwardly, exposing his relatively weak neck to Lu Chen, a cold light flashed in his eyes!
"Black Tortoise Suppresses the Sea!"
An extreme heaviness and sharpness instantly condensed at the tip of Hundred Refinements Saber.
Lu Chen's figure is like an arrow from a string, the human sword merges into one, turning into a black lightning, and cuts on the crocodile monster's neck with incomparable precision!
Poof!
There was no earth-shattering sound, only the dull sound of a sharp knife piercing flesh.
That suppressing power instantly suppressed the protective body Yao Qi and tough scales on the crocodile demon's body, and the subsequent burst of sharp sword energy cut off all its vitality like a torrent.
The huge crocodile head soared into the sky, and the smelly demon blood gushed out like a fountain.
Kill with one blow!
Lu Chen landed firmly on the ground, sheathed the sword, stepped forward, and skillfully dug out a fist-sized Demon Core from the crocodile demon's head, exuding an earthy yellow halo.
He did not leave immediately, but placed his palm on the still warm body of the crocodile demon, thinking silently in his heart.
"Soul Devour!"
[Absorbable target detected, activate Soul Devour?]
"Yes."
[Soul Devour succeeded and obtained Demon Devil Lifespan: 120 years.]
[Demon Devil Lifespan:804]
A stream of pure life energy poured into his body, instantly restoring the True Qi he had consumed to perfection.
More importantly, a chaotic remnant of soul memories also poured into his mind.
Lu Chen quickly sifted through the useless information, and suddenly, a blurry picture caught his attention.
In the picture, not long ago, several humans wearing black robes with strange auras passed by this swamp and headed towards the depths of Hundred Demon Cave.
It can be judged from the crocodile demon's simple thinking that these humans have brought it a great sense of threat, far exceeding the ordinary Imperial Guard.
Moreover, it seems that their goal is not to hunt down monsters to obtain Demon Core, but to find a specific "altar".
Lu Chen felt a sudden shock in his heart.
Man in black robe, strange aura, looking for the altar...
Rebirth Hall!
Without any hesitation, he immediately put Demon Core into his bag, gathered all his aura, and followed the vague direction provided by the crocodile demon's memory, like a real ghost, quietly sneaking towards the depths of Hundred Demon Cave.
He wanted to see what these rats in the gutter were doing!
