Chapter 37: Divine Power is Not as Good as Heaven's Will
Underground jungle.
The group had been walking for an hour and had only gone halfway. The dangers lurking everywhere in the dense forest made them dare not increase their speed.
The crowd formed a long snake formation, with Mei Hongying, Bai Donglin and the old man walking in the middle, transferring the danger to the monks at the head and tail to the greatest extent possible.
Halfway through the journey, seven or eight people died. Some were bitten by poisonous insects and turned into green water in an instant, some were burned to ashes by flames that appeared out of nowhere, and some were swallowed by carnivorous plants. There were all kinds of ways to die, but if you encountered them, you would definitely die.
At this time, they are no longer like monks with great magical powers, but as fragile as ordinary people, and their life and death are left to luck.
At this time, other people appeared in the jungle one after another. They were desert treasure hunters who were struck by lightning! The jungle suddenly became lively. From time to time, you can see the triggered traps and screams before death.
Mei Hongying's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she ordered the team to speed up. The traps in the dense forest were formed at intervals, and now there are so many mines, the safety is greatly improved! Sure enough, as more and more monks entered the dense forest, the probability of encountering traps decreased, and everyone ran at full speed. It didn't take long for them to run dozens of miles and get out of the dense forest.
Except for a few unlucky guys who triggered the trap and died on the spot, the remaining twenty or so people all walked out of the jungle alive.
The moment they walked out of the dense forest, everyone was stunned by the shock of the huge palace in front of them. They couldn't see the top when they looked up, and they couldn't see the edges on the left and right. The whole palace was seamlessly integrated without a single gap, as if it was made of a single piece of black metal!
There was also a huge stone tablet in the square in front of the palace, with two lines of blood-red characters engraved on it! "Mystical power is not as good as the destiny of heaven, the sky is gone, the earth is gone, and the immortals are gone!"
Bai Donglin's expression changed. Juexian? Didn't Mei Hongying say Juetian, Juedi, Jueren? It seems that she doesn't know everything.
Days! Days! So that's it, Bai Donglin thought, he probably understood why this strange place had such a weird test.
Other people's secret realms are either a test of combat power, talent, or perseverance! This damn place is a test of luck! It's the so-called destiny!
It seems that the owner of this palace had very bad luck in the past and died due to fate, otherwise he would not have such a strong obsession.
Bai Donglin stopped having wild thoughts and followed everyone to the front of the metal palace. In front of the palace stood a brass box with a hole on the top. It was surrounded by black fog and it was difficult to see what was inside.
Are we going to draw a lottery? Mei Hongying glanced at everyone and said slowly, "Each of you take out one thing from the box and give it to me, and I will release the blood contract on you!"
It was just as Bai Donglin thought. This was a lottery box. As for what the prize was, no one knew.
Many monks were moved. Although they knew that this box might not be simple and they might lose their lives, the temptation of being able to cancel the blood contract was too great. Besides, what choice did they have? Before the blood contract was canceled, their lives still belonged to Mei Hongying!
Then the twin brother Shan Wu was the first to stand up. His brother Shan Wen had already died at the third fork in the road.
He carefully reached into the box. The hole was filled with black fog, and he couldn't see inside at all. What he took out depended on luck! Everyone watched with bated breath. Shan Wu grabbed something with a determined look on his face, slowly pulled his hand out, and opened his palm. It was a red jade token! He survived!
Shan Wu sat on the ground with sweat all over his forehead. It was too exciting. He seemed to smell the scent of death just now.
"good!"
Mei Hongying nodded in satisfaction. She didn't expect it to be a good start, and it was an important red jade card! She took the jade card handed over by Shan Wu and did not break her promise. She pinched the spell with her hand, and red runes appeared on Shan Wu's skin, twisting and moving, gradually gathering together to become a drop of blood essence, and then floated out of Shan Wu's body and returned to Mei Hongying's hand.
Shan Wu collapsed on the ground with a pale face, looking very weak. This was also the aftereffect of removing the blood contract.
That's why Mei Hongying was not afraid that they would cause her trouble later. These people were on the verge of mental breakdown, and if they were not given a little hope, they might not be obedient.
Besides, they would have no use after this stage, so she just made this decision and killed two birds with one stone! The rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Mei Hongying kept her word, and their spirits that were on the verge of collapse eased a little.
Another monk walked up nervously, slowly reached his hand into the box, fumbled for a while, grabbed an object and slowly pulled his hand out.
It was a broken sword tip with a trace of blood on it. The man's face changed drastically. The sword tip trembled slightly, and a huge sword light instantly swallowed the man, leaving no residue!
"What a pity, next one!"
Under Mei Hongying's urging, they came forward one by one to "draw the lottery"! Some people were lucky enough to draw a jade slip, a precious ore, a bottle of elixir, a jade plaque, etc. These people were all fine, and they handed the things to Mei Hongying and their blood contract was lifted! Those who were unlucky were miserable. They touched out poisonous insects and were poisoned to death, touched out a ball of fire and were burned to death, were struck by lightning, and were hacked to death by swords. There were all kinds of deaths, but they were not very painful and were killed instantly.
The mortality rate this time was not high, with a one-to-one chance. Mei Hongying also won more than a dozen treasures, and she was so happy that her face was broken with laughter! There were only three people at the scene who had not yet drawn the lottery. Mei Hongying gave Bai Donglin a look, suggesting that he go and draw the lottery.
Bai Donglin was stunned for a moment. He didn't react for a while because he had won all the way. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I always thought we were in the same group. It seems that I misunderstood. Sorry, hahaha!"
Mei Hongying raised her eyebrows. Are all physical cultivators fools who only care about muscles? Doesn't this guy fear death? He can actually laugh.
Mei Hongying never let Bai Donglin go to explore the way and die. Of course, it was not because she was attracted by Bai Donglin's handsome appearance, but it was rare to meet a physical cultivator, and this person was not in the same group as those cultivators.
She already had some faith that Bai Donglin simply wanted to go to the Lei Ze Region, and had stumbled into this trap by accident.
Unfortunately, she would not let him go. Staying for last was just a habit, just like some people would eat the delicious food first, while others would save the delicious food for last.
She is the latter. Bai Donglin is a rare physical cultivator, just special and interesting, so she left him to the end.
Bai Donglin said nothing more and calmly walked to the box. He wondered how lucky he would be. As he thought about it, he reached out and touched the box. He felt the many items inside and could not tell whether they were good or bad. He could only try his luck.

Hmm? This is, Bai Donglin felt that he touched something round, it should be a good thing.
He then pulled his hand out and took a look, his face immediately fell, it turned out to be a small black skull!
The black skull turned into a puff of black smoke and instantly drilled into Bai Donglin's mind, rushing straight to his soul, and the whole person fell to the ground instantly!
Mei Hongying shook her head with regret, not knowing whether she was feeling sorry for Bai Donglin or regretting that she had lost another treasure.
He took out a red jade token and handed it to the old man. The two walked towards the palace side by side. The jade token in his hand flashed red, and the two walked through the gate.
When the other dozen or so people who were still alive saw this scene, they all got up and walked into the palace one by one.
They knew the rules when they drew the lottery. Only those who had drawn the lottery once could enter the palace, or they could enter by holding the red jade token.
The real heaven-defying treasures are all inside the palace, and they certainly don’t want to miss them. Moreover, if they want to leave this damn place, the only way out is inside the palace.
After everyone had left, Bai Donglin opened his eyes and stood up. His soul had indeed been destroyed by the black skull, and he was resurrected in an instant.
No six, basic operation.
Feeling that it would take some time for the treasure hunters in the dense forest to come out, Bai Donglin decided not to wait for them and to take action right away.
If I drain the prize pool, you can only blame your bad luck. A moment of silence for those who come after you.
He rubbed his hands and stood in front of the box, grinning and saying, "Then I won't be polite!"
He rolled up his sleeves and thrust his hand in roughly.
