Blue sky and white clouds, the sky is clear and blue.
A delicate pavilion, suspended in mid-air, is partially obscured by drifting white clouds, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
Inside the pavilion, a middle-aged man with red hair, bare-chested, with a broad back and a narrow waist, placed a black stone in his hand. His eyes were sharp and piercing, like a military commander.
Opposite him stood a purple-haired youth, with a small thunder eagle perched on his shoulder. The eagle chattered incessantly, exuding a murderous aura, as if it were pointing out the world and wielding power with authority.
The white piece landed with a crisp sound, clashing fiercely with the black piece.
"Bang!"
The black and white pieces, like dragons and tigers clashing, carry immense power as they fight each other on the small chessboard.
If someone witnessed this scene and took a closer look, they would realize that such a display of arrogance was completely wasted; it was actually…
Gomoku!
"The academy is recruiting students, and demons have infiltrated it. What a coincidence! They've probably left clues on purpose, using a diversionary tactic. What they're after is on the other side."
Yang Jian placed a piece and said calmly.
"That's not necessarily true."
Mo Chen said calmly, a sly smile playing on his lips: "The Unicorn Sea area guarded by the Eastern Council has been breached by a mysterious force, causing the boundary to become unstable and greatly reducing the difficulty of smuggling across."
"It is possible that the remnants of the demon race could launch an attack before the Eastern Council can react."
After he finished speaking, the Thunder Eagle on his shoulder let out a shriek. Mo Chen understood immediately, and the white piece fell, cutting off Yang Jian's secret plan.
"Hmph, what's the point of relying on Thunder Eagle's talent? I might as well let it accompany me."
Yang Jian curled his lip, pointed at Lei Ying, and said provocatively.
"quack!"
Thunder Eagle spat out a burst of electric sparks, glanced at him with disdain, and looked quite contemptuous.
The kingly disdain of the summoned beast made Yang Jian's buzz cut flare up.
"Just in case, we should bring in more mentors to stay here. To be honest, the three of us are not enough."
"Oh, that person was there too?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's expression turned somewhat strange.
Immediately, he pointed at the Thunder Eagle, licked his lips, and said, "Aren't you really going to consider roasting it and eating it tonight?"
"With so much meat, paired with a few glasses of wine, it would surely be a delicacy."
"Gah!"
Lei Ying roared, spitting out a purple flame, but Yang Jian waved it away, and it vanished into nothingness.
"Huh, you've deactivated the battlefield access?"
Suddenly, after comforting Lei Ying, Mo Chen seemed to sense something and turned his gaze to the examination room at the bottom.
A striking giant dragon, with its wings spread wide, led a tidal wave of minions in pursuit of the group of examinees.
"Yes, if she really is hiding among the examiners, she will definitely do something underhand."
Yang Jian laughed, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Perhaps her disguised identity is just an ordinary student. My move is to lure her into making a move and revealing the local aura of Dongyuan Continent."
Mo Chen's lips twitched: "So, you've deactivated all five battlefields of the Golden Palaces?"
Yang Jian was stunned.
He glanced at Mo Chen, his expression strange: "I only released the flying dragons. Weren't the rest released by you?"
Mo Chen: "..."
The two men looked at each other, their expressions of surprise: "You didn't do it?"
"Lying down..."
"Lying down..."
"Gah..."
…
desert.
The scorching sand felt like it was being roasted in a pan, and the sparse cacti, shrubs, and dry grass were all severely withered.
Bang!
A blade-like segmented limb shot out, followed by countless gleaming blades.
This is a huge scorpion with crimson scales, a bright carapace, and razor-sharp legs that make it very agile when it runs.
The fiery claws resemble a pair of warhammers, capable of both smashing the earth and strangling enemies. The slightly curved tail has a barbed stinger with a pinhole-like opening at the end that is difficult to see with the naked eye.
Red Sand Scorpion King.
The boss who reigns over the Scorpio Palace.
"It still has half its health left, it's almost done!"
"The first echelon withdraws, the second echelon takes over!"
"Keep taunting, don't let it get away!"
"Priest, watch out for the health bar! Those behind, tear open your defensive scrolls to withstand its transformation!"
A team of fifty people immediately surrounded the Red Sand Scorpion King.
A young man in a long robe was directing the battle.
He was handsome, tall and straight, with shoulder-length gray hair, exuding a kingly aura that made everyone unable to resist his charm.
Among the candidates, there are also different levels, which are divided into three levels based on the abilities they demonstrate.
Ordinary, elite, prodigy.
The five-person delivery team that Qin Shuai encountered at the beginning of the game was just average; they couldn't beat him, and they talked a lot of trash, making them perfect for feeding kills.
"Your Highness, the Scorpion King will enter the second phase in 8 seconds."
A black-robed figure, seemingly riding the wind, reported the intelligence gathered to the young man.
"Oh, the second form that made Angelina suffer... Heh, you can't trust all the information she provides."
Mo Feng pondered for a moment, a playful look appearing in his eyes.
"Gentlemen, the Ninth Golden Palace is about to be breached! Everyone, play it safe! Melee tanks, watch your health, don't get one-shotted!"
He shouted, and with a flick of his sleeve, a three-meter-long wind blade slashed out!
"call out!"
The instantaneous wind blade tore through the air, creating a sonic boom, and slammed into the joint of the Crimson Sand Scorpion King's pincers, forcibly interrupting its skill.
"Brothers, charge!"
The warriors trapped in the sand showed a hint of gratitude to Mo Feng, and then intensified their attack, ganging up on the Crimson Sand Scorpion King.
They were among the first batches of candidates to enter the secret realm, and compared to those who joined later, they had a better understanding of the examination rules.
