Demonic Holy Palace.
Several demon half-saints sat around a round table. One of the half-saints took out a mirror-like thing. He said to the saints: "You also know that our race's innate wisdom is not as good as that of humans, so for a long time, we We have prepared a variety of methods to train the tribesmen, and it has finally achieved some results."
The other half-saints nodded. They worked really hard to get the demon's brain.
The demon half-saint holding the mirror continued: "I recently learned about a very interesting question from the human race. The human race also has many opinions on this issue and there is endless debate. I tried to find a way to ask the human race about this question. Half-Saints, I finally gained something by understanding their wisdom. But then I thought about it, after all, this is the wisdom of the Semi-Saint level. It may be too difficult for my lower-level demon clan members to understand. It just so happened that this time The Demon Refining Secret Realm has entered a... Huh? Why are there two human races? Well, one more is better."
The demon half-saint looked at the mirror and checked it several times with some confusion. After confirming that there was no problem, the half-saint cleared his throat: "Ahem. So, I used the question I got from the human race for this refining." In the first trial of the Demonic Secret Realm, we used this to obtain the answers and wisdom from the lower-level tribesmen of the human race. Compared with the higher-level semi-saint wisdom, the ideas of these two people are more reference for our lower-level tribesmen of the demon race. the value of."
"good."
"good."
"Your Excellency Nan Jun is very thoughtful. Let's see how these two human races answer this question."
The half-saint of the mirror-wielding demon tribe known as Nanjun smiled and nodded. With a wave of his hand, the scene in the illusion appeared in the mirror. All the saints came forward to watch curiously.
…
…
There was a flicker in front of Xu Kai's eyes. He felt that this flicker was very strange. He seemed to have forgotten everything about himself except his name and sank into chaos.
The same was true for Huang Tu. He sank deeper and even forgot his own name. After a while, Huang Tu opened his eyes and found that he was on a huge ship sailing on the sea. The giant ship was so big that it was almost as big as a town. Next to the giant ship, there was also a giant ship of similar size sailing.
Huang Tu looked at all this blankly.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him. This figure had gray hair, but was full of energy, and looked somewhat like a child with gray hair. Only his skin is purple and he has two horns on his head.
The figure asked in front of him: "The ship you are on now has five million lives. And there are four million lives on the other ship next to it."
"You now have enough food to survive for six million people. In other words, whichever ship you get on, the people on that ship can survive. But now a ship must sink, and you can choose to sink it. Whichever ship you drop? You also have two hours to transfer people on the ship, but you can't control everyone in the transfer process."
"So, what will you do?"
Huang Tu thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Can I go to the two ships to have a look?"
The figure of the demon old man replied: "Okay."
Huang Tu came to the two ships and looked around. Among them, he stayed particularly long on the ship with five million people.
The figure of the demon old man closed his eyes and made no move to look at the yellow picture. There are only a few options for this question: choose four million people; choose five million people; cannot make a choice; want to transfer one million people to the five million ship first to maximize The key to utilizing grain… is to have a reasonable explanation for your choices.
For example, the plan mentioned earlier is to first transfer one million people to maximize the use of food. But the most difficult part of this plan is how to convince the remaining three million people on the other ship to die peacefully without rioting. In this case, the respondent must not only explain the reasons for his choice, but also come up with something A suitable way to keep the abandoned person from rioting.
Half an hour later, Huang Tu returned to the demon old man. He said to the old man: "I have thought about it."
The old man nodded: "Then how do you choose?"
Huang Tu stretched out a hand and pointed to the ship carrying four million people. With his finger, the ship sank instantly, accompanied by the wailing, grief and anger of countless lives on board, and the lingering sound lingered in the ears.
The old man looked at Huang Tu, and was about to ask him the reason for his choice, but saw Huang Tu snap his fingers, and the other ship exploded. The two ships sank to the bottom of the sea together, and the mournful sound that echoed around the beam doubled.
"...Why did you make this choice?" The old man was dumbfounded. He had tried tens of thousands of demons this time, but this was the first time he had seen Huang Tu's choice.
Huang Tu tilted his head and asked in confusion: "I just saw that the people on the two ships are demons. I am a human, wouldn't it be reasonable to kill them all?"
"..."
The old man was silent.
Indeed, there were two more humans sneaking into this trial.
No, it would be better to say that this secret realm was opened just for them.
Indeed, it is perfectly reasonable for humans to kill demons.
The problem is that this is a trial for the demons. If not demons, what does this ship have? Pretending to be human or demon? Or a boatload of evil things?
Are you going to pretend that no matter which demon clan you are, you will choose to kill them all? !
...No, wait.
In other words, what this kid did was really reasonable and had a good reason?
The old man waved his hand as if he had eaten a fly, and the sky bloomed with red light, sending Huang Tu away.
After passing the trial, Huang Tu came to the foot of a red mountain.
Xu Kai looked at him quietly.
There was a length of rope in Xu Kai's hand, and the other end of the rope held Mo Yan, whose tears were still wet.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did this idiot-like demon come out before you?"
"She went in a while before me, so it's not surprising that she came out before me, but I'm curious about how you made your choice?" Huang Tu asked curiously.
"Tell me about yours first."
Huang Tu recounted his experience in detail.
Xu Kai was silent for a while, looking at Huang Tu like a fool: "You are a bit too extreme."
Huang Tu snorted coldly: "My human race and the demon race are not on the same side, so what's the problem with this move? Tell me about yours. Are you out of compassion and letting those demons go?" Then I have to doubt your loyalty to the human race."
Xu Kai sneered disdainfully: "How could I be like you? Just listen to me."
…
…
Xu Kai's situation was slightly better, after all, he finally remembered his name.
The demon old man introduced the situation to him and told him the problem.
After listening to the question, Xu Kai looked at the old man quietly with a very unkind look in his eyes.
The old man was furious at the sight of him.
Xu Kai suddenly hit the old man in the face with a blow.
The old man was caught off guard and was punched to the ground.
Xu Kai sat directly on the old man's body and punched him one after another, beating the old man until his flesh and blood were bloody and making him wail everywhere.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting! If you don't answer the question, you won't be able to pass this level!" The old man put his hand in front of him and wailed.
"What kind of mental retardation is there? If I beat you to death, wouldn't I need to answer such questions?" Xu Kai said very calmly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of fists hitting flesh was thumping.
The old man really couldn't bear the pain. At the same time, he also had a trace of doubt in his heart. He was obviously just a shadow-like existence, so why was he allowed to open and still feel the pain?
He tried hard to open his eyes in the fists that were blowing like wind and rain, and saw the green energy wrapped around Xu Kai's body. Could this be the key to Xu Kai being able to hit him?
Xu Kai punched him one after another, flattening the bridge of his nose, knocking off his teeth, breaking the old man's ribs, breaking his left thigh, cracking his collarbone, and comminuted fractures of his upper right wrist...
The old man couldn't hold on any longer. He shouted: "Stop fighting, stop fighting! You passed the test, you passed the test, I recognize you!"
A burst of red light flashed and Xu Kai disappeared.
…
…
Seeing the two people's choices, all the saints were thoughtful, but Nan Jun looked dumbfounded.
"So that's it. He deserves to be called a genius of the human race. He does have merit." A Half-Saint nodded.
“The other person’s approach is also unique.”
"The human race really has amazing wisdom. As these two people did, no one from our demon race can hand in a similar answer sheet. It's really sad." A half-sage sighed.
"Yes, it seems that we cannot rest on our laurels just because we have made some progress. We should strengthen our study in this area in the future." Some half-saints nodded in agreement.
Only Nanjun was speechless.
Nanjun has the most contact with the human race, because he is responsible for this aspect. Among the human half-saints he asked, which one did not quote from scriptures and other sources to prove his statement, and also put forward some unique methods, which benefited him a lot.
But what are these two people doing?
"I think the answers of these two people can be listed as reference answers and distributed to the whole clan for study." A half-sage suggested.
"...Wait--!" Nan Jun said something to stop him.
But more half-sages agreed: "This method is the best."
The matter was settled like that.
Nan Jun lay weakly on the table, his eyes dull.
He suddenly felt that the demon's brain might be really hopeless.
…
…
Mo Yan looked at the two of them with admiration, thinking that he was worthy of being a human race, and his intelligence was much higher than that of their demon race.
But Huang Tu had already quarreled with Xu Kai: "What nonsense did you answer! In the future, when the teacher asks you questions and you can't answer them, you're going to beat the teacher up too!"
Xu Kai was furious: "You actually called the teacher a demon. What do you mean! After we get out, I will go to Mr. Wang to file a complaint against you!"
"Hmph, it is the duty of the literati like me to kill all the demons in the world, but you actually say that I am too extreme. Do you have any literati's heart at all?"
"You killed all the demons, didn't you expect that the demons are full of treasures? The skins of the demons can be made into leather armor, and the ash from the bones of the demons can be mixed into the city walls to increase the strength of the walls. The eyes of the demons can also be used to make leather armor. It can be used as medicine! Even if you want to kill him, you still have to keep some of them to raise him. You are so extreme!"
The two were punching and kicking each other, looking extremely angry.
Mo Yan was trembling at the side, fearing that Xu Kai would skin and dismantle her too.
The two of them were just joking, and they stopped after a while.
Suddenly, magic light shone in the sky, and three herbs fell from the sky.
The three of them took it. Huang Tu and Xu Kai got a red herb, but Mo Yan got a green herb. Huang Tu exclaimed: "It's actually a blood-growing bone herb? This medicine is most suitable for taking in a clear state of mind and can strengthen the body. Even for humans, it only needs to be taken with a few herbs and there will be no side effects."
He took another look at the reward Mo Yan received. It should be the blood-promoting grass, which can enhance qi and blood. It is not as valuable as the blood-promoting bone grass that the two of them received.
This must be the secret reward.
After saying that, he shook his head regretfully. This is indeed good stuff. If he takes it, his body will be comparable to that of ordinary demons. But my foundation is too weak. If I don't take a few matching herbs, I'm afraid my body will burst.
At least now he can't take it.
What's more, there's no telling whether he can go out.
Huang Tu sighed and looked back, only to see that Xu Kai and Mo Yan had already swallowed the herb.
"Are you crazy?!" Huang Tu shook Xu Kai desperately, trying to get him to spit out the raw blood bone grass.
Xu Kai didn't feel anything at all: "What's wrong with you?"
"If you swallow raw blood-grinding bone grass like this, you may burst yourself if you are not strong enough! Vomit it out!"
Xu Kai pressed Huang Tu and signaled him not to be nervous. Then all the bones in his body crackled. Half a quarter of an hour later, the sound stopped, and Xu Kai moved his muscles comfortably: "Comfortable."
Mo Yan looked at Xu Kai blankly, was she a demon or Xu Kai was a demon?
Xu Kai patted Huang Tu on the shoulder: "You don't have to pay too much attention. I am a designated genius. The demon half-saint will kill me even if he sacrifices himself."
Huang Tu was stunned for a moment.
After a while of commotion, Xu Kai turned around and asked Mo Yan: "What's going on in the next trial?"
Mo Yan replied: "The next step is to climb the mountain. After climbing the mountain, you will be randomly assigned to the ring. Defeat the opponent in the ring. Each time you defeat an opponent, you can move up one level. Until the end, only sixteen people are left at the top. Man, enter the final trial.”
Xu Kai nodded, as expected, it was a force showdown. He thought for a while and looked at Huang Tu: "Are you confident?"
Huang Tu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Tong Sheng and Xiucai were already weaker when fighting demons of the same level, not to mention that the people who came here must be demon elites. He might be able to pass several levels with wisdom and climb to the top. The top is absolutely impossible.
Seeing this, Xu Kai took out his storage bag. This was given to him by Wang Xin to hold those gifts. He took out the fixed-star realm dragon skin and handed it to Huang Tu: "With this thing here, those demons shouldn't be able to hurt you."
Huang Tu took it, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Would it be better if I gave you this thing?"
Xu Kai shook his head. He was not sure whether he would die if he was defeated here. The only way now is to win all the way. He is stronger, and this dragon skin has no greater effect on him than on Huang Tu.
Huang Tu took it, and he understood their current situation, and couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
Xu Kai patted Huang Tu on the shoulder, indicating not to be too nervous.
He had a few guesses in his mind about the human race who entered this place and would definitely die, but there was too little evidence to be sure.
Xu Kai took a deep breath and suddenly looked back at Mo Yan.
But Mo Yan was already on all fours and ran towards the mountain in a hurry without falling.
The damaged rope was still thrown aside.
After Moyan ran for a certain distance, he suddenly disappeared. This should be what she said about being sent to the ring.
Xu Kai sighed and walked towards the mountain.
