In front of countless disciples, a huge ferocious beast was slowly getting up. It was completely black and several feet tall. It had a pair of huge eyes looking at everyone with indifference.
This thing looks like a wolf but not a wolf, looks like a tiger but not a tiger. It has a single horn on its head and red hair on its four hooves blowing in the wind. It looks like it is stepping on flames.
Void Core stage monster!
This is the final obstacle to the first round of assessment.
The strongest people present were only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Now facing such a Void Core Stage monster, the aura alone was enough to make these disciples fearful. No wonder all the disciples chose the latter without hesitation. .
Although the mission goal is tempting, fear cannot be overcome.
As the behemoth stood up, Li Xiuping naturally saw this powerful existence. He stopped walking and frowned.
He did kill the Void Core stage monster, but that was at its peak, and the old locust tree was suppressed by Xuanmu Mountain after all. But now he is injured, and this is not Huanmu Mountain.
The most critical point is that the monster in front of him has no record in the Night Travel Division's Hundred Monsters Book, so Li Xiuping has no information about this monster at all, let alone its weaknesses.
Li Xiuping couldn't help but look at the sect disciples in front of him.
When it comes to dealing with monsters, the experience of these sect disciples is definitely no worse than those of Ye Xingsi. What's more, these disciples also have spiritual treasures that can suppress monsters, such as the Demon Suppressing Talisman and Demon Subduing Token that Xu Bansheng took out before. It is a weapon against monsters.
Although the strength of the black bone vine they encountered had not reached the Void Core stage, it was at least the seventh or eighth level of foundation building. However, Xu Bansheng was still directly killed by Xu Bansheng with the Demon Subduing Token. In other words, if these sect disciples can produce similar spiritual treasures, and with so many people joining forces, it is not impossible to win.
As those disciples continued to retreat, the Void Core stage monster also launched a direct attack.
"spread!"
The Jiuyuan Mountain disciple named Lu shouted loudly, and his retreat speed suddenly accelerated. At the same time, he formed seals with his hands and directly drove out a long sword to kill the Void Core stage monster.
Almost at the same time, all the sect disciples dispersed to avoid the attack of the monster.
The monster's huge body fell to the ground, and the entire mountain seemed to shake.
The first attack was ineffective. The demonic beast let out a deafening roar, opened its huge mouth, and a stream of flames instantly shot out from his mouth. A disciple was enveloped in flames on the spot, and then disappeared instantly.
Seeing this scene, the other disciples turned pale, and even Li Xiuping at the back was startled.
As the disciple was affected by the flames, four of the disciples were instantly enveloped by a beam of light, and then disappeared out of thin air on the top of the mountain.
Everyone continued to retreat, with almost no hesitation, and the teams directly moved closer to each other.
Everyone seemed to have just remembered the rules of the assessment at this time. If one person is eliminated, the whole team will be eliminated.
The key is that everyone's hearts are filled with fear at this moment, because no one knows whether the previous person is dead or alive.
The rest of the people were shrouded in light beams and then disappeared into this secret realm, but that person was completely shrouded in flames and then disappeared out of thin air.
The four people in the same team as Li Xiuping gathered together at this time. It seemed that they realized that they were missing one person at this time, and they couldn't help but look at Li Xiuping at the rear.
Li Xiuping felt increasingly bitter at this moment.
At this time, of course he wanted to go up and help. After all, as long as one of the five of them was eliminated, the remaining four would also be eliminated. But now that his body has not recovered, if he rushes forward at this time, he is probably the first to be eliminated.
The key is that he doesn't know whether the previous person is dead or alive. Once he is affected by the flames, his life or death will be unpredictable.
The four of them had obviously discovered Li Xiuping's situation. At this moment, they all moved closer to Li Xiuping to protect him.
However, before the four of them got close to Li Xiuping, their expressions changed again and their steps stopped.
At this moment, Li Xiuping also felt the changes behind him and turned around suddenly.
Behind Li Xiuping, a giant creature covered in scales suddenly appeared. Behind it were countless sect disciples, including Xu Bansheng, He Junlin and others.
There is no doubt that this should be the Golden Core stage spirit beast that everyone was talking about before.
In front is the Void Core stage monster, and behind is the more powerful Golden Core stage spirit beast. Now let alone obtaining what is needed for the mission, whether they can leave safely has become a problem.
When Li Xiuping and others were attacked by a Void Core stage monster and a Golden Core stage spirit beast, the remaining disciples were also heading towards the mission destination crazily.
Just now, countless sect disciples were inexplicably enveloped by a beam of light, and then disappeared directly into this secret realm.
After this situation occurred, many disciples quickly guessed it.
By teleporting these disciples out in vain, there is no doubt that the members of the same team as these people have been eliminated.
Judging from the previous situation, even if these disciples are seriously injured, they will not be eliminated directly. Other disciples can still continue to walk in the secret realm. Now that so many disciples are directly sent away, it can only mean that those eliminated disciples have completely The possibility of continuing to complete the task is lost.
Nowadays, most of the people who have not arrived at the mission destination have not gathered their teams together. In other words, everyone is in danger of being eliminated, so it is best to rush to the mission destination as soon as possible and meet up with the remaining teammates. It's urgent.
On the top of the mountain at the mission destination, Li Xiuping's team was right in the middle. In front were the disciples who had completed forming the team and the Void Core stage monster, and behind were the disciples and disciples responsible for containing the Golden Core stage spirit beast. Disciples from various factions.
Li Xiuping soon discovered that as long as those disciples encountered fatal threats, they would be sent away in advance, and then those in his team would also be sent away directly.
This discovery made Li Xiuping breathe a sigh of relief, which meant that even if he encountered fatal danger, he would not really die in this secret realm.
In addition, Li Xiuping also discovered that the reason why the secret realm was able to send these disciples away early was because of the special symbols on their bodies that represented their respective teams.
As the battle continued, many disciples slowly discovered that it was impossible to completely defeat the two powerful monsters, because as the battle continued, more and more people were eliminated. If this continued, they would have to It is even more difficult to resist these two behemoths.
Hou Yongping said at this time: "Junior Brother Li, we are responsible for containing this ferocious beast. You go and get what you need for the mission."
Now that Li Xiuping was injured, he had the greatest chance of being eliminated if he resisted the monster. Therefore, it was the best way for them to contain the monster and Li Xiuping take advantage of it, which might be necessary for the mission.
As long as they can avoid suffering a fatal blow before Li Xiuping obtains the mission target, they can pass this first round of assessment together.
Li Xiuping nodded, this is indeed a good idea.
Because apart from this method, there is no more suitable method.
Li Xiuping ran forward without any hesitation.
At this time, there are still many people with the two ferocious beasts, and the two ferocious beasts may not be able to take out their hands to deal with him, so this is the best opportunity to obtain the mission target.
The longer time passes, the more people will be injured by the monsters, and the greater the probability that their team will be eliminated. Therefore, the sooner they get closer to the mission target, the greater the probability of passing the assessment.
Many teams soon discovered this method, so one of the five people would go to get the task.
Those teams were already close to the mission target. Now, if one person was directly sent to rush towards the mission target, they would naturally have an advantage over Li Xiuping.
As the first person takes down the mission target, everyone in his team will also disappear directly.
Seeing this situation, Li Xiuping felt increasingly bitter and could only speed up as much as possible.
Nowadays, not only will people on the same team be sent away if they are eliminated, but they will also be sent away directly after completing the task. This means that the speed at which those disciples are sent away has doubled. Once four or five teams are sent away, It will be difficult for the remaining people to contain the monster beast, and the possibility of being eliminated will naturally be higher.
At the same time, countless sect disciples rushed up to the top of the mountain. After a short hesitation, the people in the same team gathered together directly, and then used the same method to obtain what they needed for the mission.
Suddenly, the entire mountaintop was in chaos. Not only were the disciples fighting against the monsters in a difficult situation, but also those disciples who had obtained the mission began to fight among themselves.
After all, the mission objectives are limited, and it is impossible for every team to gather together. Therefore, if you want to successfully advance in the first round, you must prevent others from obtaining the mission objectives before you.
At this moment, Li Xiuping finally got close to the mission target. Just as he was about to take it down, his heart suddenly sank, and he stepped aside.
As soon as Li Xiuping's body left, a flying sword shot out, and then a disciple quickly rushed towards Li Xiuping. The target was not Li Xiuping, but the mission target that Li Xiuping almost held in his hands earlier.
Li Xiuping's face was gloomy at this moment, because this guy's previous sword attack was obviously a killer.
Although anyone who suffers fatal injuries in the secret realm will be sent out of the secret realm in advance, this cannot change the fact that the other party wants to kill him.
Judging from the clothes on this person, it is obvious that he is a monk from Qingxia Peak. When he was in the Chen family hall, the tone of the head of Qingxia Peak showed that Qingxia Peak had a grudge against Huayang Sect, so The Qingxia Peak disciple's previous sword attack was definitely not just to obtain the mission target, but he really wanted to kill him.
It's a pity that he is seriously injured now and can't display his previous strength at all, otherwise he really wants to kill this guy with one knife!
The Qingxia Peak disciple came to the mission target, but did not take it down. Instead, he looked at Li Xiuping, then showed a disdainful smile, and slowly handed down the mission in front of Li Xiuping. The target was taken down, and was then teleported out of the secret realm with Li Xiuping's comments, leaving behind an extremely harsh laugh.
Li Xiuping didn't hesitate at all and directly changed to the next target.
Anyway, as long as you pass the first round, there will be the second round and the third round. Then we will see who can have the last laugh.
