"Uncle, is this Boss Qiu's golden gate?" Li Xiu said as he looked around.
There are primitive jungles all around. In fact, the Golden Gate is dozens of miles away from Guyue City, which is about the same distance from the City of Light.
This golden gate is inside the primitive jungle. No one knows what made Boss Qiu so crazy that he ran into the primitive jungle and found such a trial gate, but in the end he didn't get any benefits.
However, they have already reported the Golden Gate and obtained ownership of the Golden Gate, which is recognized by the Southern Cross Federation. Unless Li Xiu wants to go to war with Guyue City, he can only find a way to buy it. Robbing it will not work.
"You know this is Boss Qiu's place, so why are you still running around here?" The old man waved his fan, showing no intention of getting up.
"We are here to talk to Boss Qiu. We want to buy this Trial Gate. Could you help us make the contact?" Li Xiu and the other two came to the security guard.
There are several wooden houses built on the slope, which seems to be where this old man lives.
"You want to buy the Golden Gate? Are you crazy? Why would you buy this shabby place?" The security guard looked Li Xiu up and down and said.
"It is a trial gate after all, it should be of some use. Can you help me contact them?" Li Xiu said with a smile without getting angry.
"I can't get in touch with him. There's no signal on my cell phone in this shabby place. Even if there is a signal, how can an old man like me, a gatekeeper, get in touch with someone like Boss Qiu?" The security guard said, "I advise you not to mess around here. This shabby place is 40 to 50 miles away from Guyue City and 70 to 80 miles away from Hongsha City. It's surrounded by primitive jungles. There are not only many poisonous insects and beasts, but also demons that appear from time to time. I heard that Boss Qiu sent people to explore the Golden Gate before, but many of them died and few came out. They didn't get any benefits. Who would buy a place like this?"
"How come you didn't get any benefits? Aren't there rewards inside the Trial Gate?" asked Chu Jun.
"What reward? Haven't you heard of it? The skill rewarded in the trial field inside the Golden Gate is called the Golden Light Lamp. Speaking of this skill, Boss Qiu is very angry. This skill is almost the same as a lighter. A small golden flame can light up on the finger. The flame of a lighter is bigger than it, but it is useless except for lighting. What's more amazing is that this skill can only be used in places with light. It lights up when there is light and doesn't light up when there is no light. What's the use of it?" said the security guard.
"But there are also talents and magic cores and so on." Chu Jun said again.
"What magic core? There is no such reward at all. I heard that the rewards in this sect are talent and skills, and there are no magic cores and attribute rewards. Speaking of that talent, it's really infuriating. Legend has it that when Boss Qiu heard about the ability of that talent, he was so angry that he almost died." The security guard said with a smile.
"What kind of talent is so annoying?" Chu Jun asked curiously.
"I heard that the talent is called good fortune. With this talent, you will lose money every now and then. If you don't lose money, you will fail in everything you do. You lose money in business, never win the lottery, do nothing at home, and even smash all the valuable things in the house. This is not good fortune, it's just squandering money." The security guard said and advised them a few more words: "You young people, you just like to tinker with these things. When you suffer losses, you will know that peace and safety are better than anything else."
"Is it so weird?" Chu Jun and Li Xiu looked at each other.
Li Xiu stared at the security guard and asked, "Uncle, why are you here alone? Aren't you afraid of those poisonous snakes, beasts, and evil spirits?"
"I'm an old man with no children, no money, and half of my body buried in the ground. What do I have to be afraid of? Boss Qiu provides me with good food and drink, and the flowers and plants he has are my retirement care. If I really encounter an evil spirit, it will be a great relief. I won't even have to buy a coffin..." The security guard was very open-minded.
"Uncle, can we go inside the Golden Gate and take a look?" Li Xiu asked again.
"That won't do. Boss Qiu said that no outsiders can be allowed in. This is his property, and we have to get his permission." The old man shook his head quickly.
"We want to buy this place, we just want to go and take a look at the situation first. Please be flexible." Chu Jun said, taking out a spinel and stuffing it into the security guard's hand.
"Well... I don't need these things in a place like this..." The security guard said this, but his fingers were tightly holding the spinel, and his eyes were looking at Chu Jun.
"If you don't need it, you can keep it and use it later when you go out." Chu Jun stuffed another sharp crystal into his hand.
The security guard immediately turned kind and said with a smile: "Since you want to buy the Golden Gate, you can go in and take a look. But I still have to advise you that it is very dangerous inside. Don't risk your life. Boss Qiu has so many capable people under him, but only a few of them came out alive."
"Thank you, sir. We know what's going on." After thanking him, Chu Jun brought Li Xiu and Qin Shi to the gate.
"Qin Shi, you stay outside first, we'll go in and take a look." Li Xiu said to Qin Shi.
"You guys be careful..." Qin Shi was a little worried. After the princess's mask was broken, she was always worried that something unfortunate would happen around her.
"You should also pay attention to your safety. Don't take off your magic suit. Wait for us to come back." Li Xiu gave Qin Shi a few instructions. Over there, Chu Jun had already inlaid the golden beryl he had prepared on the top of the trial gate.
"A white dog, bark woof woof, two black dogs, bark woof woof, three dogs, bark woof woof, who is my little white dog? It's so hard to believe... woof woof woof... woof woof woof... Little white dog, little white dog, where are you..." The security guard lay back in the rocking chair, fanning himself and singing folk songs, looking very comfortable.
The door slowly opened, and Li Xiu and Chu Jun went in one after another.
They had already found a lot of information before they came. There was no infighting type in the trial projects within the Golden Gate, but the difficulty was relatively high for ordinary people.
"Welcome to the Golden Gate Trial Field. The C-level trial is about to begin. The trial rules are as follows..." In a hall, there was a golden table with a light screen floating above the golden table. A strange voice sounded at the same time.
The trial items in the Golden Gate Trial Field are not so much difficult as they require some luck.
There are three dice and a dice cup on the golden table. There are three squares in front of the table, with big, small and leopard written on them respectively.
The rules are very simple. Li Xiu and Chu Jun each have a golden chip in their hands. They use the chips to bet on the size. As long as they bet right, they will pass this round of trials.
Each dice has six sides, and the points are from one to six. The maximum number of points of three dice is eighteen. Below nine points is small, and above nine points is big.
If the three dice have the same number of points after being shaken, it is a leopard.
There is no difference between big and small leopards. Even if three ones are shaken out, if you bet on a small number instead of a leopard, you will still lose.
Because of the rules of this leopard, the difficulty of betting on it has increased a lot, and it is not as simple as half.
Chu Jun was not worried at all, because Li Xiu had already told him before he came that Chu Jun just needed to follow him and place his bet.
After the countdown ended, the trial officially began, and the dice cup moved on its own. It was placed on the dice, shaking rapidly, and stopped after a while.
Li Xiu directly placed his chips in the small box with the word "", and Chu Jun followed suit.
This kind of trial was not difficult for Li Xiu. He could judge the trajectory of the dice just by the sound.
When the dice cup was opened, the numbers were one, two, and two. It was indeed small, and the square with small on it lit up.
For several rounds in a row, Chu Jun followed Li Xiu in placing bets, and he won every time. There was no challenge at all.
Even though one more dice was added in each round, it did not stump Li Xiu.
"If you have this ability, why don't you go to the casino to make money? You win every time, so how can you be short of money?" Chu Jun said with a smile.
"The casino is not as fair as the trial field." Li Xiu said indifferently. Nine out of ten gambling cases are frauds. It does not mean that you will win if you can hear the number of the dice. If someone really thinks that way, he will probably lose everything.
After six rounds, it was finally the final trial. The dice for the final trial doubled to eighteen. The eighteen dice jingled loudly in the dice cup and it took a while for them to stop.
"What are you betting on?" Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu.
"Leopard." Li Xiu put his chips directly on it.
Chu Jun also bet on the leopard without hesitation. When the dice cup was opened, all eighteen dice were 1.
"The final trial is over, and the rewards are randomly selected... Each participant who passes the final trial can choose a reward."
After a while, four reward patterns appeared in front of Li Xiu and Chu Jun respectively.
After seeing the reward pattern in front of them clearly, Li Xiu and Chu Jun were both slightly stunned.
As expected, there were no attributes or magic cores among the four reward patterns. Instead, they were talents, skills, S-level trials, and admission tickets. The reward lists for the two people were exactly the same.
It was the first time for Li Xiu and Chu Jun to see an S-level trial appear in the reward list. Chu Jun pondered and said, "Does this S-level trial reward mean that if I choose it, I will directly enter an S-level trial?"
"Maybe, but since I have an admission ticket, there is no need for the S-level trial. Let's go to the trial site first." Li Xiu chose the admission ticket.
Chu Jun also chose an admission ticket. Because the two people used different admission tickets, when Li Xiu appeared in front of the stone table, he was the only one there.
Li Xiu looked carefully and found that in addition to the longevity lamp on the stone table, there was also a very ancient golden key.
"There really is no contract at all." Li Xiu reached out and picked up the golden key. Now the weight of these contracts was not a problem for him.
Anyway, they are all parasitic contracts, so there is no need to worry about the quality. It is better to have it than not to have it.
After the golden key was picked up, it suddenly emitted a golden light, and the strange voice sounded in the longevity lamp.
"Tiny carbon-based organisms..."
Li Xiu was in no mood to listen to the Eternal Lamp's bragging, so he simply dripped his blood onto the golden key.
The golden key absorbed the blood and immediately established a strange connection with Li Xiu, and information also flooded into Li Xiu's mind.
Golden Key: Parasitic Contract.
Quality: Flowing color.
Original embryo quality: 0.1.
Talented skills: Master key.
Li Xiu looked at the attributes of the golden key, which were shockingly low. He was afraid that it would be difficult to find a contract with lower starting attributes than it.
"This master key skill is quite interesting. Could it be able to open all locks?" Li Xiu thought to himself.
After thinking about it, I feel that if this golden key can really open all the locks, then it would be quite powerful.
While Li Xiu was thinking, the Lamp of Immortality had already floated up by itself and drifted into the darkness.
Li Xiu followed the longevity lamp forward. Not long after walking, the surroundings gradually became brighter.
After Li Xiu saw the surrounding scenery clearly, he couldn't help but frown.
"Ah!" Chu Jun appeared beside Li Xiu and screamed in shock after seeing the situation clearly.
Not far in front of them, there was a dead body lying. Looking at the white tights on the body, they knew that it must be a trial-taker, who should have arrived here before them.
The trial-taker died in a very tragic way, as if he had been eaten by a wild beast. His body was covered in blood, and his face was a bloody mess. It was almost like only his scalp and bones were left.
"I'm scared to death, what's going on?" Chu Jun calmed down, looked around and said.
The place where they were looked like the main hall of a temple, and inside the hall there was a statue of a deity that was more than ten meters tall.
Li Zhengxiu was staring at the statue, because it looked very familiar. After killing the last fanatic in the Black Death City, the statue he saw when he entered the door was exactly the same.
However, this statue is larger than that one, and there is no copper oil lamp in front of the statue that can improve the quality of the contract.
The man died in front of the statue and fell at the feet of the statue. Combined with the eerie and terrifying environment, it made Chu Jun's scalp numb.
"I've seen this statue before. When the quality of the white lotus was improved, there was such a statue enshrined there." Chu Jun also discovered the problem with the statue.
"It seems that these trial sites are most likely interconnected, but we don't have the ability to reach from one trial site to another." Li Xiu turned around and looked at the half-open palace door, and walked towards that side.
Looking outside through the crack in the door, Li Xiu's expression suddenly changed slightly.
Chu Jun also came over and almost vomited when he saw this.
Outside the main hall was a yard with several corpses lying in a mess inside. To be more precise, it was a pile of corpses.
The corpses had been bitten by something, and were covered in blood and flesh. Broken limbs were scattered all over the place, and the ground in the yard was covered with blood.
Although their faces were no longer clearly visible, it could be determined from their tattered white tights that these people were probably all trial-takers.
"Why are there so many trial-takers coming here?" Li Xiu said with a frown.
"What's so strange about this? They should have come in together using the trial badges." Chu Jun said.
Li Xiu shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Look carefully at the degree of decay of those corpses. There should be a long time difference. They didn't die here at the same time."
"It is also possible that some people died first, while some people lived longer and died later." Chu Jun said again.
"If they really watch their companions die, won't they blow out the immortal lamps and leave here? Will they continue to stay here and wait to die?" Li Xiu said.
Speaking of the Longevity Lamp, Li Xiu glanced at the Longevity Lamp floating next to Chu Jun, frowned slightly and said, "There seems to be something wrong with the Longevity Lamp."
"What's wrong?" Chu Jun turned to look at his own immortality lamp, and compared it with Li Xiu's, and said puzzledly: "There is nothing different, our immortality lamps are the same."
"It's wrong that they are all the same. Do you remember what the immortal lamps looked like after we entered the Black Death City?" Li Xiu looked at his own immortal lamp and continued, "Although the flames of those immortal lamps were dim, they were bright golden flames. Look at the flame of this immortal lamp, it's basically blood red."
"Maybe the flame color of the longevity lamp is different in each place?" Chu Jun pondered.
"No, this flame gives me a sense of ominousness. The longevity lamps I used to have didn't have this kind of aura." Li Xiu thought for a moment and said, "There is something really wrong here. These trial participants clearly had the opportunity to blow out the longevity lamps and leave, so why did they die here? We shouldn't stay here any longer, let's go out."
Li Xiu was unwilling to risk his life. There were so many trial sites, and it was not worth risking his life.
"Okay." Chu Jun looked at the dead bodies and found them a bit scary, so he agreed with Li Xiu's decision and opened his mouth to blow out the longevity lamp.
But he blew it several times in a row, and the flame of the longevity lamp only flickered a few times and was not blown out.
The situation was the same on Li Xiu's side, and both of them suddenly changed color.
They all understood why those trial-takers died here. Like Li Xiu and Chu Jun, they were unable to blow out the Eternal Lamp, so naturally they could not leave here.
"What's going on? Can't we get out?" Chu Jun's face looked extremely ugly. He didn't want to be trapped in this hellhole for the rest of his life.
Li Xiu said nothing, suddenly drew out the Fire Lotus Sword, and slashed at his own Longevity Lamp.
when!
The blood-red flame on the Longevity Lamp suddenly expanded and actually blocked the Fire Lotus Sword, making a sound like the clashing of metal.
The flame of the lamp was not extinguished, but Li Xiu's palm was cracked at the knuckles, blood oozed out, and the Fire Lotus Sword almost flew out of his hand.
"It's over, we really can't get out." Chu Jun's face turned pale when he saw this situation.
"Not necessarily." Li Xiu looked around and said, "Just like in the Black Death City, if you don't kill all the Black Death Demons, you can't blow out the Longevity Lamp. Maybe it's the same here."
After hearing what Li Xiu said, Chu Jun felt better. He frowned and said, "Then what kind of demon spirit are we going to kill?"
"Have you sensed the presence of the evil spirit?" Li Xiu asked Chu Jun.
"I was scared just now. If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that I have the inspiration skill." Chu Jun scratched his head embarrassedly.
Chu Jun quickly used his inspiration skill, and the next second, his face changed drastically.
