It was evening, and thick fog was rising in the valley, gradually covering the earth. No one knew where it came from, but its purpose was clear: all living things in the valley would be covered by it.

In front of Xia Xiao, there was a river nearly ten meters wide, with surging water and icy cold water. In the dark jungle on the other side, two lights flashed, small but bright, and emitting violent energy, like a stern warning. Seeing this, Xia Xiao kept retreating, and only stopped when the wild beast's energy light dissipated.

Xia Xiao spent a lot of effort to find a wild beast strong enough, and now he finally succeeded.

The wild beast had a strong sense of territory, and it would not attack easily as long as it did not step into its territory. But to be on the safe side, Xia Xiao still made seals with both hands, and a few minutes later, a hundred-patterned talisman array appeared under Xia Xiao's feet.

The talisman array was wide, protecting Xia Xiao inside. It glowed with emerald green light, and at Xia Xiao's urging, it almost merged with the ground.

A drop of sweat fell from his forehead, Xia Xiao lowered his arm to hide the talisman array underground. This was a difficult task, Xia Xiao's facial muscles were tensed, and when his teeth clenched, his steel-gun-like arm pushed the talisman array underground.

Buzz——

Amid the humming sound, the soil on the ground trembled like water drops on a vibrating drum. Then, a few thorny vines emerged from under a few small mounds of soil.

This is the talisman array Xia Jinghong found in Rongcheng, named Blood Spotted Thorn Vine, which is a Hundred Pattern talisman array among the talisman arrays that are divided into levels by patterns, and is one level higher than the Supreme Xifu. But the more extraordinary, the simpler this trap seems at this time. Who will rush up directly?

Xia Xiao didn't care. He sat cross-legged on the ground and made a "He" seal, recovering first and then practicing.

If someone with weaker strength comes and sees that it is me and there is a talisman formation under my feet, they will definitely take a detour. If not, then we will fight. The talisman formation cannot resist for too long, and it may buy time for him to wake up. That's enough!

Inadvertently, the people passing by understood what Xia Xiao meant, and after seeing this warning, they turned around and left in a hurry.

The night was pitch black, just like Xia Xiao's vast spiritual sea. In it, the precipitated spiritual medicine turned into strands of extremely refined vitality, like water, constantly watering Xia Xiao's vitality seeds, making his strength improve rapidly.

Xia Xiao was calm and not impatient, as this was a slow process. But dozens of miles away, Si Ying was anxious and wanted to find Xia Xiao immediately and crush his token.

With one hand he pressed a man to the ground, and Si Ying's eyes glowed green, looking extremely strange in the fog.

"Tell me! Have you seen Xia Xiao?"

Since the Spirit Stone Test, who doesn't know Xia Xiao's name? At this time, the man trembled and said quickly:

"I saw it. It's just to the east. Please show some mercy and give me a chance..."

Si Ying didn't want to listen to his whining, so he said coldly:

"roll!"

The man on the ground was overjoyed after hearing this, and he rolled away. He had wanted to rest and increase his points tomorrow, but he ran into Xia Xiao. He didn't dare to provoke him, and left in a hurry, not wanting to be caught by Si Ying again. However, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future.

With his vision blocked, Si Ying stopped. He was not particularly familiar with Xia Xiao and was afraid that he might be cheating. Although his grandfather's mission was very important, he also had to ensure that he could successfully enter Ningshen College.

It was foggy in winter and still cold, but Si Ying formed a seal with both hands and slapped the ground. Immediately, a flaming talisman array appeared and landed on the ground, creating heat around it to resist the cold. Sitting in it, Si Ying faced east and began to practice. Even if Xia Xiao escaped overnight, he would definitely see him tomorrow!

From Si Ying's point of view, he still has some reservations, but from the audience's point of view, he came all the way to find Xia Xiao with murderous intent, so there must be some great grudges. The audience is looking forward to what kind of conflict will arise. These two people are both outstanding geniuses among the younger generation.

Whenever the sun rises, Huiyue is always one of the first to arrive, followed by the audience, which makes Chuan Liandao say:

“They’re all very excited.”

"What about you, are you looking forward to it?"

Fang Hai had his back to Chuan Lian, the former looking at the huge valley, the latter looking at the mysterious array. At this time, Fang Hai asked, and Chuan Lian answered truthfully:

"Look forward to it! But I'm sure that Xia Xiao won't be defeated easily."

"You speak highly of him."

"I have tested his patience under three thousand icicles. A person who remains calm even when his body is frozen is not as simple as he appears."

Fang Hai nodded slightly. He didn't know Xia Xiao, but he left a good impression on him.

"Look, it's about to begin!"

This will be the beginning of the real Wanling Valley screening. In the past few days, except for the person who was frightened by the wild beast and crushed his token on the first day, no one has been eliminated.

In the valley, Xia Xiao woke up and looked at Siying a hundred meters away. He was not surprised at all, and even felt relieved. If he faced it earlier, he would have time to try his luck in the ruins in the future. He didn't want to waste three months in a chase with Siying. He didn't have the time.

He stood up and drew his broadsword. As the blade trembled, the mud on it fell off, revealing a terrifying edge that shot straight at Si Ying, who was a hundred meters away. The latter's eyes were dazzled by it, and he did not raise his hand to block it, but snorted coldly, the weight of it was as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

"Just a spiritual weapon is not enough for you to be so rampant."

After saying that, Si Ying walked forward even though he knew there was a talisman formation in front of him.

Xia Xiao looked at his feet. The moment they landed, a talisman array called Blood-spotted Thorn Vine suddenly appeared. The talisman array hummed, the vitality was throbbing, the ancient patterns continued to shine, and the power was immediately revealed.

Standing in the center of the formation, Xia Xiao looked calm as he stared at Si Ying.

Bang--

Peng——

Two loud noises suddenly sounded, and countless earth mounds appeared on the ground. They were not as small as the ones Xia Xiao saw last night, but half a meter wide. The earth mounds burst, and thorn vines continued to grow out of them. Even though they were of different sizes, they grew very fast. In an instant, they were several meters long and jumped onto the ground and began to move towards Siying. The latter was not to be outdone, and the vitality in its body exploded? Exploded out, and immediately flames surged.

The air heated up, and the thorny vines with countless spikes kept wrapping around him, making snapping sounds in the air. But in the flames, even the fresh vines turned into charcoal in a second and could not get close to Si Ying. The flames transformed from the fire element's vitality were several times stronger than ordinary flames. And Si Ying's strength was at the level of the Venerable Realm!

This talisman array almost exhausted Xia Xiao's energy last night. It took him a whole night to recover. It was not that easy!

With a slam of his foot, the talisman formation was about to collapse, but the thorns on it suddenly became twice as thick. The ground was shaking and tumbling, and the trees on it fell crookedly, but the thorns in the air were moving towards Siying at a much faster speed. Suddenly, the thorns were like a demon with bared fangs and claws, entangled crazily.

The wind in the wood element's vital energy was already being used. In the blink of an eye, Siying was once again enveloped, and the fire on the tree nearby also completely disappeared.

In front of Xia Xiao's eyes, the talisman formation collapsed, and a hole nearly a hundred meters long was torn open in the ground. Vines stretched out from it like thick snakes, entwining themselves tightly to form a gorgeous flower bud.

In an instant, the fallen trees turned into leaves, and the thorns turned into flowers, but this thorn vine bud blossomed into a high-temperature flaming stamen.

boom!

A flame shot up into the sky, and the flower bud exploded, with flames splashing everywhere, setting the surrounding trees ablaze. A fireman walked out of it, his whole body burning with flames, his eyes like molten lava, and wherever he looked was extremely hot, like the temperature in the hot summer season.

Xia Xiao felt warm and comfortable, and couldn't help but murmur. But soon, he felt some heat spreading wildly around his body, as if it was going to burn him to a crisp.

"sharp."

Xia Xiao sighed sincerely, although Si Ying was a warrior, he was trapped by the talisman formation. But because of the difference in strength and the restraint of the five elements, he could easily break through the offensive. But even so, how can you deal with it?

Xia Xiao smiled, his face cunning, causing Si Ying, who was about to attack, to look around. The thorn vines at his feet were burning and spewing flames. This level of trap was not something that a smart person like Xia Xiao would do. Could there be other traps? Staring at Xia Xiao, he looked like he had everything under control, which made Si Ying's heart palpitate.

The noble royal family has always looked down on the common people, thinking that they are dirty and low. Si Ying never believed that the people are like water, which can support a boat or overturn it, and he has no respect for Xia Xiao. On the contrary, he only has deep hatred. As the pride of the dynasty, he should have been the object of everyone's pursuit, but Xia Xiao, who came from afar, appeared and robbed him of all his prestige.

How long has it been? Less than two years later, Xia Xiao is coming back again? Even if it's not for his grandfather's old age home, he will do his best to prevent this guy from returning to the imperial capital.

"Why, you won't do anything?"

Xia Xiao's cold voice made Si Ying frown. Is he still the same idiot as before? Why is his look so fierce? If it weren't for the spirit stone test, Si Ying would not have hesitated, but would have thought he was pretending. But now he is very cautious, fearing that Xia Xiao would plot against him. During the confrontation, Si Yi made sure that there was no talisman formation around, and then he slapped his hands on the ground.

"Your cleverness will only be defeated by me!"

After Si Ying finished speaking, he rushed forward with a 100-meter-long musket. Xia Xiao used all his strength to dodge to the side.

Peng——

The flames burned very quickly, and a hole was immediately burned in the clothes outside the arm, and the skin underneath was burned. But when he saw the flames passing through the river and entering another deep forest, some joy appeared on Xia Xiao's solemn face.

"Oops!"

Si Ying immediately understood Xia Xiao's intention, because his fire touched a ferocious wild beast.

The fire element energy is the least capable of probing, and the presence of a river here confused his perception, so he did not notice that in another humid jungle, there lived a water-based wild beast.

Although they were hundreds of meters apart, Si Ying could sense the latter's power. It was using water to extinguish its own flames. That strength should be at the fourth level, a fourth-level wild beast, and it could restrain his fire energy. It seemed that this was Xia Xiao's way of winning. What a cunning thing!

Looking suddenly at Xia Xiao, Si Ying's lips turned purple and his eyes were wide open.

"I'll take your life first!"
