Li Xiu looked at the information brought by Chu Jun and found that the situation was even worse than the legend said.

In addition to the first training of thousands of people, the Lord of Red Sand City actually organized several trials of the Gate of Purgatory. As a result, even though some intelligence was already known, the entire army was still wiped out and no one came out alive.

The information we know now was provided by the only survivor.

The trial at the Gate of Purgatory was very strange. Although thousands of people had entered, the one who came out alive said that he only saw himself in a room, with no one else.

It was a white room with nothing inside except a light screen indicating the start of the S-level trial. Then the light screen disappeared, leaving him alone in the room.

The rules of the trial are also very simple. Just stay in the room and wait for the trial to end.

He didn't know how long he had been in the room. Since he had no way to calculate time, he had no idea how much time had passed.

Just like the rumors outside, after that person came out, he seemed to have mental problems. He spoke incoherently and like a madman. The above information was sorted out by the doctor from his incoherent words.

The man said it was two or three days, then a few months, and then a few years. He even said something more exaggerated, saying that he had stayed in the room for hundreds of years.

All of these were regarded as his nonsense. After all, only three days had passed from the time he went in to the time he came out.

The psychiatrist judged that the illusion might have arisen because he had no timekeeping equipment.

Another speculation is that there is something in that room that affects the mind, maybe some kind of gas, or maybe some kind of mental hypnosis. In any case, there can't be nothing in the room, there must be something there.

In the next few trials, the Lord of Red Sand City specifically found some people who were resistant to drugs or mental hypnosis to go in, but the results were not ideal, and still no one could come out.

"What do you think?" Chu Jun asked after Li Xiu finished reading the information.

"There are so many miraculous things in the trial field. No one can tell for sure unless they have experienced it themselves." Li Xiu thought for a while and said, "Since someone was able to come out alive, there must be a way to get through."

"I think so too, but with this little information, if you really go in, the possibility of coming out alive is not high. Do you want to give it a try? If you want to try, I have already contacted them. You have three days. Within three days after you go in, the batch of magic equipment will not be delivered to Hongsha City. If you are not out after three days, you can only complete the transaction as agreed." Chu Jun didn't dare to make a decision for Li Xiu.

After all, it was a trial from which only one out of thousands could come out alive. Chu Jun himself didn't dare to go in, so only Li Xiu himself was qualified to decide whether to go or not.

"What was the physical condition of the person who came out alive?" Li Xiu asked after thinking for a while.

"He is just an ordinary person, not a true trial-taker, and there is nothing special about him. I don't know how he was able to come out alive." Chu Jun replied.

"Can I meet him before the trial?" Li Xiu asked.

"It shouldn't be a problem. I'll arrange it." Chu Jun said.

"Okay, let's make a decision after meeting that person." Li Xiu decided to go and take a look.

Since physical fitness is not the key to survival, Li Xiu thought he could give it a try.

However, whether to try or not will depend on whether he meets that person or not.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away and let you know when there's news." Chu Jun thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't quite understand why you want to go to such a trial field. It's too dangerous."

"I just want to see what kind of contracts there are in a trial field like that." Li Xiu said with a smile.

Li Xiu originally planned to go to the Haitian Trial Field after finishing the things at hand.

Now that there is a chance to go to the Gate of Purgatory, I have to put the Haitian Trial Field aside for now.

In the next few days, apart from occasionally giving Ye Xiyuan some advice, Li Xiu entered the Brave Trial Field every day and constantly selected attribute rewards.

At the beginning, it was only a low-level attribute reward. Li Xiu could not feel any reaction from his body, and his physical fitness did not continue to improve. Later, after receiving the B-level attribute reward, he still did not feel anything, which meant that his physical enhancement had reached its limit. He had to become a true trial-taker before he could continue to enhance his physical strength.

A few days later, Chu Jun brought good news. It had been negotiated that Li Xiu could go to participate in the trial of the Purgatory Gate, and could also meet the person who came out of the Purgatory Gate alive.

Chu Jun asked Li Xiu to pack up and they would set off for Hongsha City tomorrow.

Li Xiu didn't have anything to pack. He just had to take the Ghost-faced Demon Suit with him to prevent the Lord of Red Sand City from turning against him.

Before leaving, Li Xiu planned to go to the Gem Street again to see if he could find the Magic Gem again.

There were more people on Jewelry Street than the last time Li Xiu came. Many jewelry stores had reopened, but the signs seemed to have changed, and most of the old stores were gone.

Li Xiu looked at each store slowly, but unfortunately, after looking at many gems, he didn't find any that made him hungry.

Li Xiu was not disappointed either. After all, the Magic Spirit Gem was hard to come by and might be even more difficult to obtain than the Magic Spirit Ring.

Li Xiu walked into another jewelry store and saw the boss sitting at the counter looking at his cell phone, so he started looking at it at the counter himself.

Mu Yu has been in Chongshan City for several days, but has not found a chance to enter the City Lord's Mansion and get close to Li Xiu. Hearing that Li Xiu has a hobby of visiting jewelry shops, he opened a shop in Chongshan City, intending to wait and see.

The moment Li Xiu entered the store, Mu Yu already knew who he was.

However, he was not impatient at all. He took the opportunity to look at Li Xiu and found that he was not carrying any magic armor.

But for him, it doesn’t matter even if Li Xiu is carrying the magic suit. He will not give Li Xiu the chance to use the magic suit.

When Li Xiu looked at each counter one by one and was about to walk in front of him, a dagger suddenly appeared in Mu Yu's palm and slashed towards Li Xiu's neck.

His attack was so fast that it was almost invisible. The dagger flashed with an eerie green light, like a flash of cold green lightning.

Mu Yu was very sure that even a D-level trialist like him would not be able to dodge this knife, not to mention that the other party was just a magic armor master without wearing magic armor.

Not to mention that the other party was not prepared, even if he was prepared, he could not avoid it at such a close distance. Not only was his sword fast, but the Wooden Forest dagger was highly poisonous, and anyone who touched it would die.

Even a small cut to the throat is enough to be fatal.

This is his symbiotic contract, combined with his S-level flash skill, he once assassinated a C-level trialist, and the trialist could only watch helplessly as Mu Zhisen cut his throat.

Li Xiu saw a flash of cold green electricity and realized the danger, but his body had no time to react. He didn't even have time to retreat. It was too fast. Li Xiu only had time to lower his head slightly.

When he lowered his head, the place where Mu Zhisen cut was no longer his neck, but his forehead.

Mu Yu didn’t care. He would die anyway if his forehead was scratched.

Just when Mu Yu thought he had succeeded, he suddenly saw Li Xiu lowering his head, with a black light shooting out from the pupil of his left eye.

when!

The green cold electricity transformed by Mu Zhisen was hit by the black light, and Mu Yu only felt that the palm holding Mu Zhisen was numb from the shock.

Mu Yu suddenly tightened his grip on the knife handle, stood up, and slashed towards Li Xiu's chest with Mu Zhisen again at an incredibly fast speed.

when!

Li Xiu had a red rapier in his hand, blocking the path to the Wood Forest.

The dagger and the rapier collided, and the Fire Lotus Sword in Li Xiu's hand flew out. The tremendous force caused Li Xiu's body to retreat several steps uncontrollably. The hand holding the sword trembled constantly, and it felt like he had no strength left.

Mu Yu jumped out from the counter like a ghost, and the Wood Forest in his hand once again turned into cold electricity and stabbed towards Li Xiu's heart.

He didn't expect that Li Xiu was actually a trial-taker with a contract, but it didn't matter. Li Xiu had lost his balance and could no longer block the stab.

when!

A knife with a strong red fluorescence blocked Mu Yu's dagger, and a warrior demon spirit wrapped in dark red armor stood in front of Li Xiu.

"Demon spirit..." Mu Yu was shocked and quickly flew back, but when he took a step back, he saw the demon spirit warrior slashing at him with the samurai sword in his hand with a strong blood-red fluorescence.

Mu Yu raised his sword to block, but he saw a blood-moon-like blade light suddenly slashed out from the samurai sword.

"Innate skills!" Mu Yu was shocked, but there was no room for retreat.

Mu Zhisen collided with the blood-red crescent blade light and was directly cut off by the blood-red crescent blade light, along with one of his arms.

Mu Yu endured the pain, and the skill mark appeared on the fingers of his other hand. He jumped up and hit the roof like a cannonball, trying to escape.

Bang!

Mu Yu heard a gunshot, and then felt a pain in the bend of his knee. When he landed on the ground, he couldn't use that leg to exert force, and fell again through the big hole he had created.

A transparent blue sword was placed on his neck.

"Glorious Demonic Spirit!" Mu Yu saw clearly the owner of the transparent blue sword and cried out in horror.

Bang bang!

The demigod Shanna fired two shots, breaking the bones of Mu Yu's other leg and arm, which were then taken back by Li Xiu.

Looking at Mu Yu who had lost his ability to move, Li Xiu stood behind the Jedi Knight and asked with a smile: "What's your name?"

Mu Yu never imagined that a magic armor master not only possessed a trial-taker with a contract, but also possessed a glorious magic spirit.

"If you want to kill me, just kill me. Don't waste your time." Mu Yu's hands and legs were disabled and he couldn't even commit suicide.

"I don't like killing people." Li Xiu took out his phone and called A Fei. After a while, A Fei drove over and took Mu Yu back to the City Lord's Mansion.

Mu Yu was locked in a cell, and the wounds on his body had been temporarily treated to ensure that he would not die from excessive bleeding in a short period of time.

Li Xiu looked at Mu Yu in the cell and said calmly, "Did the wife of the Lord of Hongsha City ask you to kill me?"

"Don't waste your energy. If you want to torture me, do it quickly." Mu Yu said while lying on the ground with his eyes closed.

"Do you have any family?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

"My family is all in Hongsha City. See if you can capture them and use them to threaten me. If you have the ability to capture them, I will tell you everything you want to know." Mu Yu said with a sneer.

"I heard that the Lord of Hongsha City is a violent and extremely suspicious person. What do you think the Lord of Hongsha City would think if I healed your injuries and then released you politely?" Li Xiu said slowly.

Mu Yu's expression suddenly changed: "You can give it a try, maybe it will work."

"Okay, let's do it. Ah Fei, I'll hand him over to you. Heal his wounds and then send him back to Hongsha City." After Li Xiu finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Your skills are still too shallow. My arm is already broken. How can the city lord be instigated by you?" Mu Yu said gritting his teeth.

"Then I don't know. Anyway, you are just a tool. I don't care about your life or death. If the Lord of Hongsha City really trusts you so much, then congratulations on saving your life. But you'd better pray that the Lord of Hongsha City will not think that your broken arm is a self-torture trick. I think he should have this tolerance, right?" Li Xiu said.

"I can commit suicide." Mu Yu said through gritting his teeth.

"Well, that's another story. The person who assassinated me is not dead, but he did not return to Hongsha City. He is even highly valued in Chongshan City. The Lord of Hongsha City should not believe such a script, right?" Li Xiu said as he turned and walked out of the cell.

"Wait a minute." Mu Yu suddenly struggled to crawl to the iron fence, stared at Li Xiu and said, "If I tell you, can you guarantee the safety of my family?"

"No, I can only guarantee that you will be a dead person in this world from now on, a person who died for assassinating me. Whether there will be a chance to rescue your relatives in the future depends on whether you are worth my risk. Think about it carefully." Li Xiu left after he finished speaking.

Ah Fei called a doctor and started treating Mu Yu.

Mu Yu remained silent for a long time. It was not until the doctor left and Ah Fei was about to leave that Mu Yu suddenly said, "Can I trust him?"

"You should ask yourself whether you believe in the Lord of Red Sand City or not. Is it so important whether he can believe it?" said Ah Fei.

Mu Yu was slightly startled, then laughed bitterly and said, "Yes, if the City Lord is trustworthy, why would I do this? What do you want to know?"

Mu Yu knew very well that he was the personal bodyguard of the Lord of Hongsha City, and he knew some things about the Lord of Hongsha City intentionally or unintentionally.

If anything happened to him, with the character of the Lord of Red Sand City, he would never let his family go.

"Didn't he just say that the treatment you get depends on your value?" said Ah Fei indifferently.

When Li Xiu was packing up, Ah Fei came over and said, "There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"I want to hear good news first." Li Xiu stopped, sat on the bed and said to Ah Fei.

"The good news is that I learned some information about the Gate of Purgatory from Mu Yu, the trial-taker who tried to assassinate you. It may be helpful to you on this trip." A Fei said.

"What about the bad news?" Li Xiu asked again.

"The bad news is that I heard something about the Gate of Purgatory from Mu Yu, which may be very unfavorable to you." A Fei replied.

"Isn't this just a piece of news?" Li Xiu was speechless.

"Yeah, you can say that." Ah Fei nodded seriously.

According to Mu Yu's confession, there was basically no problem with the information about the Gate of Purgatory given by the Lord of Hongsha City, except for some slight deviations.

In fact, the Lord of Red Sand City later conducted a large-scale experiment and found more people to enter the Gate of Purgatory.

More than 2,000 people in a village deep in the mountains were secretly captured by the Lord of Hongsha City. Regardless of gender, age or status, all were sent to the Gate of Purgatory.

That time, someone finally came out alive. He was a child with cerebral palsy and very low intelligence, who was less than ten years old.

"The Lord of Hongsha City is really cruel. He doesn't even let a child like this go." Li Xiu sighed.

"In his opinion, children like this are the most worthless and deserve to die." The bandit said coldly.

"Then what? Are they sure that the Gate of Purgatory has affected the brains of those trial-takers and caused them mental problems?" Li Xiu said.

"No, they came to another conclusion. Maybe those who entered the Gate of Purgatory really spent hundreds of years in there." A Fei gave a shocking answer.

"Why do you come to such a conclusion?" Li Xiu asked in confusion.

"The disease that child has will become more and more serious over time, but the process is very slow. When he went in, he was still able to move like a normal person, but his intelligence was relatively low, his eyes and mouth were crooked, and his language function was affected. If it were a normal situation, it might take a few years, a dozen years or even decades for his body functions to be affected, and he would gradually lose the ability to control his body, and it would become more and more serious."

"The child was only in there for three days, and when he came out, he was almost completely paralyzed. After research by some experts in Red Sand City, it was found that his brain was not affected by external factors, but was naturally diseased to this extent. So they inferred that it is very likely that while they were in there, their brains may have recognized the passage of decades or even hundreds of years."

"The time of brain cognition?" Li Xiu didn't quite understand Ah Fei's description.

"That is to say, their bodies may have only experienced three days, but their brains feel like decades or even hundreds of years have passed. If a person is trapped in a room with nothing in it for decades or even hundreds of years, anyone will go crazy," said Ah Fei.

"But going crazy doesn't mean death, so why did only two people survive?" Li Xiu still had some doubts.

"I don't know about that. This is all Mu Yu knows. I think it should be credible." said A Fei.

"Then let's make a decision after I meet the person who survived." Li Xiu became more and more interested in the Gate of Purgatory.
