The Hero Trial Field used to belong to someone else, and Li Xiu was unwilling to risk his life.

Now the Brave Trial Field is his own. If he fails to pass the S-level trial, he will no longer be able to use the trial field.

Moreover, it took so much effort to get the S-level trial, it would be a shame to waste it.

Of course, Li Xiu couldn't just go there casually. He had to be fully prepared first.

"Did you draw all these pictures?" Li Xiu asked Ye Yuzhen while holding the maze map he found.

"Yes." Ye Yuzhen explained: "Before, when I killed someone in the Dark Labyrinth, I also took the money from the Lord of Chongshan City. No, it was the money from the previous Lord of Chongshan City."

"You drew this picture well and your memory is good." Li Xiu looked at so many pictures, and only Ye Yuzhen's drawings were accurate.

"My family used to live near a mineral vein. There are many abandoned mines because they could no longer produce raw stones. When I was a child, I went to dig for raw stones in those abandoned mines to make a living, hoping to get lucky and find some. But those mines are interconnected, and the safety facilities are no longer in good condition, so they are prone to landslides. There is no electricity or lights inside, and people like us don't have the money to buy headlamps or anything like that, so we can only go down in the dark. Many children like me went into the caves to look for raw stones, but they were buried underneath without knowing when. Or they got lost and starved to death."

"I have a good memory and sense of direction, and I am also lucky. No matter how complicated a road is, as long as I have walked it once, I can remember it clearly. I have also dug up some raw stones, which is why I am still alive today. It can be said that I am more familiar with darkness than daytime, and I feel safer in the dark."

Li Xiu nodded slightly: "No matter what you did in the past, you will follow me from now on. You can't kill anyone without my permission."

"Of course. No one gives me money and I don't want to kill anyone." Ye Yuzhen nodded.

"From now on, you can receive a salary in the mansion in the middle of every month. If you want to live in the mansion, I can ask someone to arrange accommodation for you. If you want to live outside, that's up to you. As long as I can find you when I need you, that's enough." Li Xiu said.

"Thank you, Lord Mayor. I'd better live outside for now." Ye Yuzhen said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, this is the map you drew when you participated in the A-level trial before. Please tell me more about a few places." Li Xiu said, pointing to the last few A-level dark maze maps drawn by Ye Yuzhen.

Li Xiu didn't want to know what Ye Yuzhen and Qingshan did in the past, nor did he want to know what they would do in the future.

As long as he can use it now and there are people who can use it, he will use it.

He had no intention of settling down in Chongshan City, he just wanted to get the resources he needed as soon as possible.

The maps drawn by Ye Yuzhen are more detailed than what Li Xiu knows.

After all, Ye Yuzhen has participated in many trials and has walked more routes than Li Xiu. Looking at the maps from low-level to high-level, combined with Li Xiu's own memories, he has a clearer understanding of the dark maze.

"Each level of the dark maze adds outer layers based on the previous level of the dark maze. I already knew this before, but the added layers are also regular, and the rooms with traps are also regular..." Li Xiu used the route he remembered to complete the route that Ye Yuzhen had not taken, and he got a complete map.

First, divide the maze into several areas according to different levels, and then regard those rooms as binary codes, with safe rooms being 0 and rooms with traps being 1. Convert each row of codes into decimals, and then use the corresponding pinyin letters to convert them into letters. By connecting the letters in each area, you can get the pronunciation of some words, and by combining the pronunciations of these words together, you can get a sentence.

"When two men meet on a narrow road, the bravest will win."

Now Li Xiu finally understood why the Dark Maze was called the Brave Trial Ground instead of the Dark Trial Ground.

Li Xiu remembered that there was more content after this sentence. If he calculated according to this rule, the number of additional floors in the S-level maze might correspond to the following sentences.

Li Xiu remembered the full sentence: "When a brave man meets a wise man, he wins; when a wise man meets a benevolent man, he wins; when a benevolent man meets a righteous man, he wins; when a righteous man meets a loyal man, he wins; when a loyal man meets a virtuous man, he wins; when a virtuous man meets a righteous man, he wins."

If we continue to calculate in this way, the difficulty of an S-level maze is countless times greater than that of an A-level maze. If you really want to explore it, you may not be able to complete it in an hour, let alone a week.

But once you know this pattern, as long as you figure out your position and direction in the maze, you can avoid all the traps and choose the right path to get out.

"I just don't know if the S-level maze is arranged according to this sentence." Although the probability seemed very high, Li Xiu had to prepare for other possibilities in advance to avoid wasting too much time in the maze due to preconceived ideas.

After Ye Yuzhen left the City Lord's Mansion, he carefully turned left and right. After making sure that no one was following him, he changed his clothes and makeup in the corner of a dark alley.

After exiting the dark alley, Ye Yuzhen walked around a few more times, and after making sure that no one was chasing him, he came to a small courtyard.

Then he went through the secret door of the courtyard and arrived at another house behind the courtyard. Only then did Ye Yuzhen breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brother, you're back." A girl of about seventeen or eighteen came out of the house and happily pulled Ye Yuzhen.

The girl was dressed simply, but that couldn't hide her beautiful figure, and her skin was as delicate as a flower core.

"Xiaoyuan, this is for you." Ye Yuzhen took out a box of cake from his arms and handed it to Ye Xiyuan.

"It's my favorite cake again. Brother, you've made a fortune. Why aren't you stingy at all recently?" Ye Xiyuan said with a smile.

"You're the only one who talks too much. Go eat your food." Ye Yuzhen sighed inwardly, "I don't know how many days of good life I can have left."

Ye Yuzhen knew the origins of the previous Lord of Chongshan City. He estimated that Li Xiu would not be able to stay here for long. The Lord of Hongsha City would probably send someone to kill Li Xiu and take back Chongshan City soon.

This is what Ye Yuzhen was afraid of. The old man who was the Lord of Hongsha City was notoriously lustful and had harmed countless women in Hongsha City.

In this day and age, beauty is sometimes a mistake, or even a disaster.

Although Ye Xiyuan was only sixteen years old, she had already shown stunning beauty. If the Lord of Hongsha City discovered Ye Xiyuan's existence, Ye Yu really couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

When Ye Xiyuan was still young, she had already caused a lot of trouble because of her appearance, and even almost caused Ye Yuzhen to lose his life.

"Brother, you eat too." Ye Xiyuan divided the cake into half and handed it to Ye Yuzhen.

"I've eaten outside, you can eat." Ye Yuzhen said with a smile.

"I don't care. We agreed that if there is anything, we brother and sister will each have half." Ye Xiyuan forced half of the cake to Ye Yuzhen.

Ye Yuzhen was eating the cake, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's all because of me, the useless brother. Xiaoyuan obviously has such a good talent for magic armor, but she doesn't have enough good magic armor to use. I originally thought that I could exchange a set of A-level magic armor from the Lord of Chongshan City this time, but I didn't expect this result. Fortunately, the magic cores I accumulated before are still there. If I can get out of the S-level dark maze this time and get the S-level magic core reward, plus the magic cores I saved before, I should be able to buy Xiaoyuan a set of A-level magic armor."

Ye Yuzhen didn't dare to let Ye Xiyuan go to those big forces to be a magic costume master, and he didn't even dare to let her go to a magic costume master training institution, because there were precedents.

At that time, Ye Xiyuan was less than ten years old. The two depended on each other. By chance, Ye Xiyuan's talent as a magic costumer was discovered.

At that time, Ye Yu was so happy that he went crazy. His sister actually possessed the noble talent of a magic costume master. In order to allow his sister to receive magic costume master training, he risked his life to make money in the trial field.

Later, he finally collected enough money and sent Ye Xiyuan to study under a magic costume master.

Who knew that the magic costume master was worse than a beast and actually had intentions towards Ye Xiyuan. If Ye Yuzhen hadn't been worried about Ye Xiyuan and secretly watched his sister studying, Ye Xiyuan would have been almost ruined by that magic costume master.

Fortunately, the magic armor master’s physical fitness was not good. The magic armor master never expected that someone was secretly peeping at him, and he was killed by Ye Yuzhen’s sneak attack.

Killing a majolist is a serious crime there, so the two had no choice but to flee their hometown and struggle away from home.

Since then, Ye Yuzhen didn't dare to let Ye Xiyuan go to other places to learn magic costume technology. He could only work hard to make money to buy magic costumes and some magic costume master learning materials for Ye Xiyuan.

Fortunately, the profession of magic armorer mostly relies on talent. Ye Xiyuan's talent is really good. Even if he just reads popular materials to learn, he can still make rapid progress.

But Ye Yuzhen couldn’t get high-level magic equipment, so he didn’t know what level Ye Xiyuan was at.

"Brother, I watched God's video materials on the Internet and learned a new technique. I will show it to you." Ye Xiyuan finished eating the cake and took out his E-level magic suit and said.

She knew that Ye Yuzhen would only be happy when she learned more and stronger magic costume skills. She wanted to make Ye Yuzhen happy, and she also hoped to share some of the pressure for Ye Yuzhen.

Watching Ye Xiyuan performing the skills of a magic costumer, Ye Yuzhen was very pleased: "Wait a little longer, I will be able to give you a set of A-level magic costume soon."

"Brother, what do you think of my skills? I think with such skills, I should be able to go out and work and make money." Ye Xiyuan said after the demonstration.

"You're still far from there, so practice more." Ye Yuzhen said.

There was a hint of disappointment in Ye Xiyuan's eyes, but she still said gently: "Brother, I will try my best."

Ye Yuzhen knew very well that Ye Xiyuan longed for a normal life, but in such an era, she was born guilty and had no powerful strength, so she could only hide herself.

"Just wait a little longer, I will be able to get A-level magic armor soon." Ye Yuzhen said secretly.

The full moon was in the sky. Li Xiu looked at the big, round moon in the sky and couldn't help but sigh: "Life is so wonderful. When I was training with Bai Qiuyi before, I always felt that kind of life was a bit boring. Now it's not boring anymore, but it's annoying because there are too many things to do."

While Li Zheng was thinking about it, something happened again.

The tablet of the God of Death appeared on the table in front of Li Xiu at some point and was shaking violently.

"What are you doing again?" Li Xiu glanced at the tablet of the God of Death and said with a pout.

"I'll give you one more chance, give me a hug right now." A line of words appeared on the back of the tablet.

"Get out." Li Xiu said mercilessly.

"You're dead." The tablet of the God of Death began to shake again.

Li Xiu was not panicked at all. He had no way to deal with the tablet of the God of Death, but he also saw through this guy's limited ability and there was no need to indulge him.

The tablet of the God of Killing shook for a long time, and the words "Li Xiu" appeared on it again.

When Li Xiu saw those two words, he knew what was going to happen. He didn't panic and just lay down on the table.

The world was spinning in front of his eyes, and then Li Xiu felt his hands go empty and he fell to the ground. He stood up and looked up, and found that he was indeed in the small stone house in the Black Death City.

"Next time I'll just lie on the ground." Li Xiu dusted himself off and walked out of the stone house.

As soon as he walked out of the small stone house, Li Xiu felt something was wrong.

The Black Death City is still the Black Death City, the night is still the night, but the buildings in the entire city seem to be stained with a layer of red.

The fires on both sides of the street became increasingly red, as if stained with blood, but the bloody color in the city was not entirely due to the fires.

Li Xiu realized the problem and looked up at the sky, only to see a blood-red moon hanging in the sky.

"There is a moon in the Black Death City?" Li Xiu was a little surprised. He didn't see any stars or moon in the two previous times he came here, but now there was a moon in the sky that looked like it was dripping blood.

There is no doubt that this must be the work of the Killing God Tablet.

Li Xiu estimated that the Killing God Tablet did not have such ability, otherwise it would have brought Li Xiu here long ago. It might be a matter of time.

Perhaps only in the Black Death City at this time would such a blood moon appear, and the God of Death tablet just calculated the time and brought it here.

Of course, it is also possible that the tablet of the God of Killing also played a certain role, but these are not important.

Li Xiu carefully summoned all the demons, stood at the intersection and looked towards the end of the long street.

Clang! Clang!

The familiar voice sounded again. Li Xiu looked intently in the direction where the voice came from. After seeing the figure clearly, his eyes narrowed immediately.

It was still the kind of demon spirit wearing shackles, but this time it was not an ordinary creature, but a colorful demon spirit with black light patterns on its body.

In any previous occasion, this kind of demon spirit would only appear at the very end. Now, the first demon spirit was the Flowing Color Demon Spirit, which was obviously different from usual.

Li Xiu was not surprised. The God of Killing chose such a time to bring him in. If there was nothing special about it, he would be disappointed.

Bang!

The demigod Setsuna was always the fastest one, and he killed the colorful demon with one shot.

The colorful demon fell to the ground, the colorful light on its body dissipated, its armor disintegrated, leaving only a colorful demon core.

Li Xiu directly asked the Jedi Knight to go over and eat the colorful magic core.

There is an endless stream of demons appearing, all of them are colorful demons. Fortunately, there seem to be only E-level demons in this Black Death City. Facing the demigod Setsuna of the same level and the B-level Pink Nightmare, they are simply vulnerable.

Most of the hundreds of colorful demons were killed by the demigod Setsuna and the Pink Nightmare. The contribution of the God of Love Archer was also not small. Without her help, the Ice Soul Siren would have been killed long ago.

What surprised Li Xiu was that the Jedi Knight with the skill Blood Light Slash was surprisingly powerful.

He slashed with a beam of blood, and the crescent blade light was as powerful as a hot knife through butter, able to kill two or three colorful demon spirits.

Although only one level higher, the skilled Jedi Knight was able to stand alone, defend a street, and kill hundreds of colorful demons.

Strangely enough, the demon spirit like the final BOSS did not appear this time, which made Li Xiu, who had originally had some expectations, a little disappointed.

“Maybe all those coming out now are BOSs, so there is no BOSS anymore.” Li Xiu thought while cleaning the battlefield.

There were more than four hundred colorful monsters, but only one talent gem was produced. Not to mention the monster ring, even the skill ring was not produced.

The gifted gems were collected by Li Xiu, and the magic cores were piled directly at the crossroads for the Jedi to eat at will. For those that he couldn't finish, he would think of a way after twelve rounds to see if he could take them all away.

The Jedi Knight had an unusually large appetite. He swallowed more than four hundred magic cores in less than half an hour.

It's a pity that more than 400 core flow color magic cores were not enough to upgrade him from D level to C level.

Li Xiu estimated that it was because the level of these magic cores was too low. It was indeed difficult to upgrade the magic spirit to C level with an E-level magic core.

Two hours later, the second round of demons appeared.

The demon spirit that appeared this time was still just the Flowing Color Demon Spirit. Not long after, among the Flowing Color Demon Spirits, the demon spirit with an iron chain shining with black light was seen, and the Shining Demon Spirit also came out.

Among dozens of colorful monsters, a shining monster will appear. With Li Xiu's current monster lineup, this is not a problem. He still quickly gets rid of those monsters, and no monster can rush over.

Among the more than four hundred monsters, only a dozen were shining monsters, and one of them left behind a skill ring.

The Jedi Knight was cleaning up the battlefield, and Li Xiu was too lazy to ask him to collect the magic cores, so he just let him pick them up and eat them at the same time.

After Li Xiu got the skill ring, he hesitated for a moment and decided not to use it. He put it away together with the previous talent gem.

The Jedi Knight's stomach was simply a bottomless pit. He swallowed so many magic cores but still did not upgrade.

"Why is it so difficult to upgrade to this level? It wasn't so difficult when I upgraded the Pink Nightmare before." Li Xiu was a little distressed and guessed that it might be related to the evil in the Jedi Knight's body.

When the third round of monsters appeared, the first ones were the colorful monsters. Not long after, the shining monsters appeared, and the number of shining monsters increased significantly.

"Brilliant Demonic Spirit!" Li Xiu saw the familiar figure again.
