In the darkness, the copper oil lamp emitted a dim light. On the stone table was a blue-green boxing glove that seemed to be made of bronze and steel.

When Shalai saw the boxing gloves, his eyes immediately lit up and he wanted to rush over to pick them up.

Li Xiu, who followed him in with the Trial Badge, stopped him and said, "Don't worry. Contracts also have different qualities. You can ask what quality the contract is first."

"Who to ask?" Shalai asked doubtfully.

"Bronze oil lamp." Li Xiu said.

Shalai looked at the copper oil lamp doubtfully and asked, "What is the name of this contract and what is its quality?"

A strange voice rang out from the copper oil lamp: "Its name is Tyrant Fist Gloves, and it is a brilliant-level contract."

"There are four quality levels: flowing color, shining, dazzling and radiant. Dazzling is second only to radiant. It's up to you to choose it or wait for a better symbiotic contract. Once you choose a symbiotic contract, it cannot be changed." Li Xiu told Shalai some common sense.

"Is the probability of getting a Glorious Contract high?" Shalai asked again.

"It depends on luck." Li Xiu didn't know how high the probability of the Glorious Contract appearing was.

"Then there's no need to wait." Shalai said, and walked directly to the stone table and picked up the boxing gloves with both hands.

The moment the gloves left the table, a blue-green light burst out. Lines of blue-green light extended from the wrist to the palm, and finally spread to the five fingers.

On the back of the glove, there was a shining "Ba" character pattern, shining as brightly as stars.

"This tiny carbon-based creature has completed the life contract with your blood and the Tyrant Fist Gloves. From now on, it will become your partner in life and death, and the cornerstone of your journey on the road of trials..."

Shalai dripped his blood on the boxing gloves without hesitation. The boxing gloves turned into blue-green light and merged into his right hand. Soon they reappeared and wrapped his right hand.

"I finally became a real trial-taker." Shalai waved his right hand excitedly.

"What is the quality of your embryo?" Li Xiu asked.

"0.9, is it high or low?" asked Shalai.

"It's first-rate. Normally the highest is only 0.9." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Haha, this is really a blessing in disguise. If I had gotten the admission ticket before, the quality of the embryos would not be so high." Shalai was very excited.

At this time, the copper oil lamp flew up by itself and drifted towards the depths of the darkness.

Li Xiu hurriedly called Sha Lai to follow the longevity lamp into the darkness. As they walked, the scenery in front of them changed and there was light.

"What is this place?" Shalai looked around and asked in surprise.

"This should be an oasis." Li Xiu has observed the situation around him.

Where they were was a small oasis, and they could see the other side of the oasis from one side at a glance.

There is a stone pool in the center of the oasis, with a few dilapidated wooden houses next to the pool, and a circle of wooden stake fence around the oasis.

The top of each wooden stake was sharpened into a spike shape, and the height was about one meter. There was only one wooden door made of a fence in one direction of the entire oasis, but it was already damaged, and the wooden pillars of the door had fallen apart and were scattered all over the outside of the door.

When the two were looking at this small oasis tribe, the sound of bells suddenly came from outside the gate.

The two men hurried to the door and looked outside into the desert. The bell sound came from far away in the desert.

But there were sand dunes everywhere outside, blocking their view. They could only hear the sound of the bell but couldn't see what it was.

Li Xiu directly summoned the Jedi Knight and Cupid Archer, asked the Jedi Knight to guard the door, and Cupid Archer stood behind with a bow and arrow, waiting for an opportunity to move.

"Damn, what is this?" Shalai widened his eyes and looked at the Jedi Knight and Cupid Archer.

"The demon spirit transformed by the Demon Spirit Ring is the same as the demon spirit that Sha Chu had before. The trial-taker can use it..." Li Xiu explained how to obtain and use the Demon Spirit Ring, and by the way, he also gave Sha Lai some knowledge about skill rings and talent gems.

"The trial-taker is so awesome, but why haven't I seen other trial-taker use magic spirits, not even Kunsha," Shalai asked in confusion.

"The drop rate of the Magic Ring is relatively low. You still need a bit of luck to get it." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"It seems that you are lucky. It hasn't been long since you got two monsters. What level does your thing rank among the monsters?" Shalai looked at the Jedi Knight and Cupid Archer with a little envy.

"It's just average. Jedi Knight has no quality, but it can evolve. It's already a C-level monster now. Cupid Sagittarius is of brilliant quality and can also evolve, but I haven't fed her yet. Her current level is still E-level." Li Xiu said.

Shalai wanted to ask something, but the sound of the bell was getting closer and a figure gradually emerged from behind a sand dune not far away.

Soon, the two men saw clearly what appeared on the hill. It was a demon with a body like a bluestone statue, a bit like the shape of a lion, but there was no hair on its neck and its head was covered with semicircular protrusions, like the topknot on the Buddha's head.

It has three claws in front and one in the back, and a jade-like bell hangs on its neck, emitting a hazy halo. Its body is slightly larger than a lion, about the same size as an adult bull.

The evil spirit also discovered Li Xiu and Sha Lai in the city. With a flash of blood in its eyes, it rushed over on the sand.

"What should we do?" Shalai looked at Li Xiu. He had killed many people, but had never fought against evil spirits, so he was somewhat unconfident.

"Wait." Li Xiu said.

Shalai had no choice but to stand inside the fence with Li Xiu and wait. They watched the evil spirit rushing over. When it was five or six meters in front of the gate, it jumped up and pounced on the Jedi standing at the door.

The Jedi Knight drew his sword instantly, and although he did not use the Blood Slash, he split the demon in half with one blow.

Bang!

The remains of the demon fell on the sand, and a magic core rolled out of its head.

Li Xiu discovered that the body of this evil spirit was actually empty, with only an empty shell on the outside.

"This demon looks intimidating, but it's actually quite weak." Shalai said with a smile when he saw the Jedi Knight kill the demon with one sword.

"If you want to live longer in the trial land, it's best not to underestimate any demon spirit. This is just the most common and lowest-level demon spirit, but its power is probably above yours. If you meet it alone, you must not fight it head-on." Li Zhengrong said.

He looked towards the desert. Based on his experience in the Black Death City, more demons would surely appear next.

But after waiting for a long time, I didn't hear the bell sound again.

"That's strange. Is there only one ordinary demon spirit?" Li Xiu was confused. This was much worse than the Black Death City.

"It seems that this place is not as dangerous as the legend says. Should we go out and find some evil spirits to kill?" Shalai said impatiently.

"Let's search the village in this oasis first." Li Xiu is not as optimistic as Sha Lai.

Li Xiu asked the Jedi Knight and the Cupid Archer to guard the gate, and summoned a Black Death Demon to explore the way ahead.

"You still have a demon spirit?" Shalai's eyes turned red.

"Too many demon spirits are useless. They need to be of high quality and high level to be useful." Li Xiu said.

"What level is your demon spirit?" Shalai felt a little better after hearing what Li Xiu said.

"Brilliant Demonic Spirit." Li Xiu said casually.

“……”Shalai had the urge to strangle Li Xiu to death.

Two people followed the Black Death Demon and searched the village in the oasis.

The oasis was only a few acres in size, with a dozen dilapidated wooden houses. We quickly walked around it but found nothing.

The wooden houses were extremely dilapidated and could not be compared with the Black Death City. Some of them had no doors at all, and there was nothing special inside, just some broken beds and chairs, and thick dust everywhere.

No living people were seen, nor were there any traces of evil spirits, let alone those mysterious sarcophagi in the stone houses in the Black Death City.

If it weren't for the evil spirit he killed earlier, Li Xiu would have thought this was an oasis abandoned by humans.

Li Xiu and his companions had been wandering for so long, but there were no unusual changes in the desert outside the gate, and no evil spirits appeared again.

Buzz!

When the two were wondering, they suddenly heard a roaring sound in the sky, like the sound of an air conditioner.

Li Xiu quickly looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly, making people feel dizzy.

The roar came from a direction in the sky. Li Xiu looked carefully and found a black object in the sky, like a black bird, flying towards the oasis from a distance.

"What kind of bird is that? Could it be a demon? It's flying quite high." Shalai shielded the sunlight with his hands and was also looking at the bird.

"That bird is probably not small at all. You only think it is small because it is flying too high." Li Xiu continued with a serious expression: "Besides, it may not be a bird."

"Of course it's not a bird, it's a demon. What I mean is, it's a demon in bird form," Shalai corrected.

"I'm afraid it's not a demon spirit in bird form." Li Xiu said, staring at the black shadow in the sky.

"No matter how I look at it, it looks like a bird," Shalai said unconvinced.

"Have you ever seen a bird make that kind of sound?" Li Xiu said with a strange look on his face. "And have you ever seen a bird flying without its wings moving?"

Shalai was stunned when he heard this. He indeed did not see the "bird" flapping its wings. It seemed that it had been gliding with its wings spread out.

It is not strange that the bird is gliding in the air. What is strange is that it has almost flown from the horizon to the oasis, but its wings are still motionless. This is a bit strange.

"What else could it be if not a bird? Could it be an airplane?" Shalai said casually.

"Plane?" Li Xiu was startled when he heard it. He looked at the blurry black shadow in the sky again and said with a strange expression: "You know what, this shape and this sound really do sound like a plane..."

"Stop talking nonsense. How could there be airplanes in the Trial Ground? Don't bully me because I know nothing about the Trial Ground. I have heard some things about the Trial Ground from Kunsha. The Trial Ground is full of evil spirits. How could there be such a technological product as airplanes..." Shalai curled his lips.

While the two were talking, the black shadow had already reached the sky above the oasis. It showed no intention of falling and was still flying high in the sky. Because it was too far away, the two people saw that the black shadow was only the size of a swallow and could not see clearly what it was.

As both of them were staring intently, they suddenly saw several small dots appear in the sky after the black shadow flew past.

The black shadow did not stay above the oasis, but flew away quickly. However, the small dots that appeared before were still above the oasis, and they gradually increased in number and became larger and larger.

"Damn...is that a parachute?" Shalai widened his eyes. He finally saw clearly what it was.

As the small dots grew bigger, I could finally see that they were black umbrella-shaped objects falling from the sky. They looked like parachutes no matter how I looked at them.

"Is this a ghost? Is that really a plane? How could there be a plane in the trial ground, and even a parachute? Is someone doing an airdrop in the trial ground?" Shalai craned his neck and kept looking there, cursing.

Li Xiu has become accustomed to Shalai's character. He is not a good person, but he is not a bad person either. At least for Li Xiu, Shalai is a trustworthy person.

Li Xiu said nothing, staring at the black parachutes. After he took off the Mirror of Darkness, his eyesight was stronger than Shalai's, and he could see more clearly than Shalai.

Those things that look like parachutes are indeed parachutes, but there are no paratroopers, skydivers, or even demons underneath the parachutes.

After Li Xiu saw clearly what was under the umbrella, his pupils contracted suddenly. He shouted to Shalai to run, then summoned the pink nightmare and flipped over to climb onto its back.

Shalai was still in a daze. Before he could see clearly what was under the umbrella, Li Xiu rushed over riding on the Pink Nightmare, pulled him onto the back of the Pink Nightmare, and rushed towards the gate of the village at full speed.

Shalai didn't have time to marvel at the fact that Li Xiu actually had a mount, a demon spirit. At this time, he could already see clearly what was under the umbrella.

Under the umbrella are green oval-shaped objects with arrow-feather-shaped tails and a shark-like head in the front.

That is what the bomb dropped by a bomber looks like. Judging from the size of the bomb, it is much larger than the bombs dropped by ordinary bombers.

More than a dozen huge bombs were dropped from the sky, and the target seemed to be the oasis. If they exploded inside the oasis, not to mention the oasis, even the few hundred meters outside the oasis would be unsafe.

"Run faster!" Shalai is now more anxious than Li Xiu. Seeing those giant bombs getting closer and closer to the oasis, he wishes he could lend his two legs to the Pink Nightmare.

Now the two of them had no time to think about why there were bombers and bombs in such a place, nor did they have time to think about why the bombs were equipped with parachutes. Now they just wanted to get as far away from this oasis as possible.

When the pink nightmare rushed out of the door, Li Xiu took back the Jedi Knight and the Cupid Archer, and continued to rush into the desert without slowing down.

When they rushed out about two or three hundred meters, they heard a loud bang from behind. The first bomb had hit the oasis.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bombs fell one after another, some hit inside the oasis, and some fell outside the oasis.

The giant bomb closest to Li Xiu and his team was less than a hundred meters away from them.

What was strange was that after those giant bombs hit the ground, they created a deep pit in the ground, but they did not explode.

There were more than a dozen giant bombs, but none of them exploded. Half of each one was embedded in the sand, and the part exposed outside was more than one meter long and thicker than a bucket.

The parachute rope connected to the tail was floating down loosely with the parachute.

Although the giant bombs did not explode, Li Xiu still just watched them from a distance and did not dare to approach them.

Shalai was still in shock. He looked at the bomb-like objects from a distance and said, "Something is wrong. Whose bomber dropped bombs and attached parachutes to the bombs? Parachutes are obviously used to slow down. Could those things not be bombs?"

"I don't know." Li Xiu saw that those things looked like green metal, but the parachute and the parachute rope were black silk fabrics, and he couldn't make out anything.

There are no characters or anything like that on the parachute or the green metal object. If you say it is a product of human civilization, there is no human mark or symbol at all.

If it is not a human product, why would the demons create parachutes and other things like this?

Snap!

When both of them were guessing what it was, they heard the sound of something cracking.

This scared both of them. They thought that thing had a delayed explosion function, and now it was finally about to explode.

But after a closer look, I found that it was not that the thing was about to explode, but that there was a door-shaped crack on it.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

There were constant noises coming from those giant bomb-like metal objects, and door-shaped cracks appeared on each of them, and then there was no movement again.

Li Xiu and Sha Lai looked at each other in bewilderment. This was beyond their comprehension and they had no idea what was going on.

"Do you think there is a possibility that this place is inhabited by humans, and they are afraid that the people in the oasis will starve, so they used those things to airdrop some supplies here. Those things are just tools for storing supplies?" Shalai was not sure whether his idea was correct, and made endless guesses.

After Li Xiu experienced the incident of the ship being destroyed in the Black Death City, he was no longer surprised by these things.

But I am still a little surprised. If building a sailboat does not require a lot of technology, then things like airplanes, parachutes and airdrop capsules require a lot of technology.

"Could it be that demons also know how to play with technology? Or are there really human forces in the trial grounds, and have they developed to the point where they can build airplanes?" Li Xiu saw that there was no movement after the doors of the airdrop pods had cracked. After thinking for a moment, he summoned the Black Death Demon again and asked him to head towards the nearest airdrop pod.
