"Where is it?" Li Xiu looked around but did not see any trace of the Trial Gate.

Sha Chu walked to a small pit, looked down, turned around and said to Li Xiu, "This is it. If you go down from here, you will naturally be able to see the trial gate. You go down first."

"It's such a small hole, why don't you make it bigger?" Li Xiu walked to the side and looked down.

There was nothing to see below, only a pitch-black hole with no bottom. No idea how deep it was, and the opening was only big enough for one person to pass through.

"Do you think I don't want to? Due to the geological problems here, it is very easy to collapse. It is not suitable for digging a too large mine, and we don't have the time. Be careful when you go down, and don't collapse the mine." Sha Chu urged Li Xiu to go down quickly.

Li Xiu had no choice but to tie the rope of the scaffolding around his body. He originally wanted to jump down, but Sha Chu made him fall into the mine upside down.

Sha Chu slowly lowered the rope and couldn't help but frown. Li Xiu's body was too heavy, unusually heavy. If it were an ordinary trial-taker, he would probably not be able to pull Li Xiu at all.

Li Xiu fell down little by little, and it became increasingly darker in front of his eyes. Soon he could not see anything and could only grope around with his hands.

The entrance did not expand downwards and was still only wide enough for one person to pass through. His body continued to descend, and he didn't know how many meters he descended before he finally reached the bottom of the mine.

Looking up, I saw that the well mouth had become smaller than a teacup. Feeling to the side with both hands, I soon found a horizontal hole next to it, which was also only wide enough for one person to pass through.

He untied the rope tied to his body and gave it three pulls before he felt the rope rise.

After a while, Li Xiu saw that the sky above his head, which was smaller than the mouth of a teacup, was completely blocked. It should be the sand that was coming down.

Li Xiu explored and crawled towards the horizontal passage, crawling a little deeper inside to leave space for Sha Chu to come down.

Suddenly, Li Xiu felt his palm go soft, and all the sweat pores on his body stood up. He quickly retracted his hand, then quickly retreated back to the vertical shaft where he had been just now.

He didn't know what he had just touched. The soft feeling was definitely not soil or rock, but more like some kind of soft-bodied creature.

It felt like a snake or a frog. The soft and smooth touch gave him goosebumps.

Bang!

Li Xiu only felt that his body was hit by a heavy object, and he groaned in pain. Then he felt his body being squeezed by a soft and fragrant thing.

"Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to crawl in first before I came down?" Sha Chu's voice sounded in Li Xiu's ears.

She jumped straight down without using any ropes.

Fortunately, Li Xiu was sitting against the wall of the well. If he had stretched his head forward a little more, the jumping Sha Chu would have hit his head and probably broken his neck.

Moreover, Sha Chu used the wall of the well as a buffer, and supported himself with his feet and hands from time to time to slow down his descent, so he did not step on Li Xiu when he came down, and the impact force was not too great. Even if he was not killed, his legs would definitely be crippled.

Now the two men were squeezed in the narrow mine, their bodies pressed tightly together.

One can only crawl through this mine, so the two of them were squeezed together. Li Xiu was sitting, and Sha Chu sat on Li Xiu's legs with his legs apart, with their upper bodies pressed together.

"I think I touched something alive just now, so I had to retreat. If I had known I would come to such a place, I should have prepared a headlamp. Why did I come down in the dark?" Li Xiu said.

"Where is the time to prepare those things? What kind of living thing could be in here? Don't scare yourself. I'll move aside and go take a look first." Sha Chu said as he twisted his body and moved towards the horizontal passage.

In such a small space, their bodies were pressed together. With Li Xiu's cooperation, Sha Chu moved away from him and got into the horizontal passage.

Soon, Li Xiu found out why Sha Chu didn't have the top of her head. The halo that Li Xiu had seen before appeared on her body again.

Although the faint halo was not very bright, it illuminated the nearby area a little, making it possible to see some things clearly.

"Where is that thing?" Sha Chu said somewhat dissatisfiedly as he slowly crawled a distance ahead.

"It's strange. I clearly touched something soft just now." Li Xiu used the halo emitted from Sha Chu's body to look at the approximate location where he had climbed before, and there was indeed nothing there.

There are no holes on the wall of the well, so it's impossible that thing disappeared out of thin air, right?

"Why do you want to be a trial-taker when you are so timid? Why don't you go back and be a magic armor master?" Sha Chu continued to crawl forward and asked Li Xiu to catch up quickly.

Li Xiu followed behind Sha Chu and saw the big glowing butt in front of him twisting and turning. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I know why you want me to get off first."

"Stop talking nonsense." Sha Chu coldly told Li Xiu to shut up.

Li Xiu didn't mind taking time to appreciate the beautiful scenery, but the time, place and people were not right.

He followed Shachu and slowly crawled inside, thinking as he crawled: "Why is Shachu in such a hurry to come here? What's so special about this trial gate? She said that time is running out, what time is running out? The trial gate won't run away, so what time is it talking about?"

"Ah!" Li Xiu was thinking, when suddenly his palm felt soft again. The slippery and soft feeling was exactly the same as before, which made Li Xiu's hair stand on end again. He retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"What's wrong with you again?" Sha Chu heard Li Xiu's call and asked in front.

Because the passage was too narrow, Sha Chu had no way of turning back to check, and could only stop to ask about Li Xiu's situation.

"Nothing... nothing..." Li Xiu looked at the place where his palm had just been pressed. There was nothing there, making him wonder if the previous feeling was an illusion.

But he knew in his heart that it was not an illusion. Although he usually didn't like mollusks and even kept his distance from them, it was definitely not an illusion caused by fear. It was a real sense of touch.

However, Li Xiu looked at Sha Chu for a long time with the light from his body, but still found nothing, which made him very confused.

"Don't shout if there's nothing to do." Sha Chu snorted coldly and continued to crawl forward.

This time, Li Xiu was no longer distracted and paid close attention to the passage ahead, fearing that it would be like just now, when he didn't even see what he pressed.

After climbing for a while, Li Xiu no longer felt that feeling, which made him doubt whether he had really had an illusion just now.

Just when Li Xiu was relaxing a little, his body suddenly stiffened, as if something had drilled in through his trouser leg and was crawling up along the skin of his calf.

The thing was cool and soft, and Li Xiu felt like a very large caterpillar was moving on his calf.

Li Xiu felt like he was about to explode. He was afraid of this kind of stuff. He was not afraid of those huge steel monsters or even evil spirits, no matter how ugly they looked. But he was really scared of this kind of soft thing psychologically.

This may be related to his childhood experiences. At that time, Li Xiu was really fearless, but he was a naughty child who was very willing to seek death.

One time, Li Xiu was playing in the woods when he suddenly discovered a colorful caterpillar with a translucent body. It looked very beautiful.

Li Xiu didn't know anything at that time. He just reached out and picked up the caterpillar, then held it in his palm and played with it.

The caterpillar crawled on his little hand and then climbed up his arm.

Li Xiu was so happy that he even wanted to take the caterpillar home as a pet, but before he could get home, he fell headfirst to the ground.

That time, Li Xiu lay in the hospital half-dead for more than half a month, and he was lucky to survive. At that time, his entire arm and hand were swollen thicker than his thigh, especially where the caterpillars crawled, black spots appeared, and those black spots later rotted and continued to ooze pus.

Li Xiu was in so much pain that time that he suffered a little psychological trauma. He kept his distance from those kinds of mollusks and would kill them directly if he felt threatened.

The feeling he felt in his legs now was very similar to that before, as if a larger caterpillar was crawling on his calves.

Li Xiu got furious all of a sudden. Because his body was restrained, his hands couldn't reach his calves. He could only swing his legs desperately, as if they were equipped with electric motors.

After shaking it several times, Li Xiu felt that the thing on his leg was finally thrown off, and he immediately crawled forward desperately.

He didn't know where the power came from, but the weight of the Fire Lotus Sword seemed to have been reduced a lot, and Li Xiu climbed very quickly.

"There are bugs... There are bugs behind..." Li Xiu shouted while pushing the Shachu in front of him.

"What bug?" Sha Chu felt that Li Xiu was pushing his butt and was immediately furious. However, when he heard Li Xiu say that there was a bug behind him, his face changed and he quickened his speed to crawl forward.

The two men climbed desperately, and soon Li Xiu felt his hands were empty and fell out of the passage.

It turned out that the passage had reached the end and a hole appeared in front.

"Where are the bugs?" Sha Chu stood at the entrance of the passage, observing the traffic inside. After a while he turned around and stared at Li Xiu coldly and said.

Li Xiu ignored her, rolled up his trouser leg, and looked carefully at the place where the soft thing had crawled.

After looking around, the legs were fine, without even a scratch.

He lowered his trouser legs and looked up at Sha Chu. Seeing that she was looking at him with a frosty face, he could only cough lightly and said, "Maybe the bug didn't catch up."

"Li Xiu, I warn you, don't say that you are not an official member of Changshengtian yet. Even if you are an official member, it was me who introduced you to the club. I am your direct superior. Your life and death are still in my hands." Sha Chu said with a cold face.

"I know, there really was a bug just now." Li Xiu knew he was in the wrong and said helplessly.

Sha Chu took a look inside the passage and still didn't see anything. He looked at Li Xiu and still couldn't see anything.

"Let's go, don't waste time." Sha Chu said nothing more and walked forward.

With the help of the light from Sha Chu's body, Li Xiu could see clearly that the cave was not too big, at most two meters high, about the size of a house. There was a pink door embedded in the mud wall mixed with stones.

Unlike the trial gate that Li Xiu had seen before, this gate was very small, less than one meter high. It was pink all over and looked like jade or stone. No one knew what it was made of.

Sha Chu came to the pink door, took out a plastic bag, took out a few pink spires from it, and inlaid them one by one in the grooves of the pink door.

When all the grooves were inlaid with spikes, the pink door slowly opened, and a decadent pink light shone through the gap. The atmosphere looked like some impure place.

"After you go in, you must follow my instructions and are not allowed to act on your own." Sha Chu warned Li Xiu again, bent down and entered the pink door.

Li Xiu shook his head and followed him in.

The scene in front of him gradually became clear, and Li Xiu discovered that this trial field was not the sports arena he was familiar with, but a strange building.

This is a platform built on the water. The width of the platform is only one meter and the length is about ten meters. It is surrounded by water.

At the end of the platform, there is a huge turntable that is taller than a person. The turntable is divided into several areas, and each area has a number.

Sha Chu looked at Li Xiu with a strange look in her eyes. She saw the Fire Lotus Sword on Li Xiu's waist, which looked like a belt.

As far as Sha Chu knew, apart from demons, the only thing that could be brought into the trial field was a "contract", just like the knife behind her, the red skirt and red leather boots on her body, these were all "contracts".

As for the magic ring on Li Xiu's finger, Li Xiu had been deliberately avoiding Sha Chu's sight, so she hadn't seen it yet.

Li Xiu also noticed the knife behind Sha Chu, as well as the hip-hugging dress and leather boots on her body. Those did not disappear. Unlike Li Xiu, who was wearing a white tights and looked like a newbie in the trial field.

"Welcome to the Fanatic Trial Field. The A-level trial has begun. The trial rules are as follows... The trial countdown begins..." Above the roulette wheel, a familiar light screen and a cold electronic sound appeared.

After Li Xiu finished reading the rules, his expression became a little subtle.

The S-level trial in the Fanatic Trial Field, like the End of the Earth Trial that Li Xiu had participated in before, requires two people to start.

Of the two people taking part in the trial, one must choose to be the target on the roulette wheel.

That's right, the target.

The trial-taker who chooses to become the target will be fixed on the turntable and unable to move. After the trial begins, the turntable will start to rotate.

The other trial-taker must stand at this end of the platform, ten meters away from the turntable, and then blindfold himself and shoot the flying knife.

There are ten throwing knives in total, and each throwing knife will hit the ten numbered areas on the roulette wheel in order. After completion, the two people will pass the trial.

The key point is that even if the trial-taker on the roulette wheel is stabbed to death, as long as the ten throwing knives can hit the corresponding areas, the person throwing the knives can still pass the trial and get the reward.

This kind of rule is obviously very unfair to the trial participants on the roulette wheel, but rules are rules, and no one can change the rules within the trial field.

If no one chooses to be the person on the roulette wheel, when the trial countdown ends, both people will be considered to have failed the trial.

The person on the roulette wheel can use words to remind the person throwing the knife so that the knife can hit the correct area.

"You will choose the roulette wheel later." Sha Chu said to Li Xiu.

"Why didn't you choose to play roulette?" Li Xiu asked back.

"Listen to me, I promise you will be fine, otherwise I will kill you now." Sha Chu said coldly while staring at Li Xiu.

"Kill me if you want. You won't survive if you kill me. I never trust others. There's no way I can get on the roulette wheel." Li Xiu said calmly without blinking.

"You have to understand one thing. Even if I get on the roulette wheel, you can't kill me, but if you shoot the wrong way, we will both die." Sha Chu continued, "If you get on the roulette wheel, I can guarantee that you will not be hurt. This is a test for you. My real goal is not this A-level trial, but the next S-level trial. This is just a practice. If you cooperate well, I will take you to the S-level trial next time."

"Don't talk about useless things. I'm not interested in the S-level trial. Anyway, I will never get on the roulette wheel. If anyone wants to go, it should be you. Otherwise, let's all wait to die here together." Li Xiu sat down, and no matter what Sha Chu said, he was unmoved.

Li Xiu would not give the initiative to control his life and death to anyone else, even if he felt that Sha Chu would not want his life.

If they really wanted to kill him, they could have done it long ago. There was no need to create so much trouble, and there was no need to give him the Chrysanthemum Knight.

Even so, Li Xiu would not give the initiative to Sha Chu.

"Think about it again. I have practiced this trial item for a long time and I am absolutely confident. Do you think you can make the shot with your eyes blindfolded? Even if you are not blindfolded, can you hit those rotating areas?" Sha Chu said again.

"Yes." Li Xiu answered without hesitation.

"If you don't get on the roulette wheel, you won't survive even if we get out alive." Sha Chu stared at Li Xiu coldly.

"I'm not afraid of death now, so why should I think about the future?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

Sha Chu was angry and anxious, but there was nothing he could do to Li Xiu. He gritted his teeth and glared at him, watching the countdown pass by second by second, and it was about to end.

"I hope you won't regret your choice when you die."

The countdown had reached the last three seconds, and Li Xiu was still sitting there with his eyes closed, motionless. Sha Chu finally had to take that step and leave the area of ​​throwing knives.

She didn't expect that Li Xiu, who had been very cooperative and seemed a little afraid of death, would be so stubborn.

If she had known this would happen, she would never have brought Li Xiu here to participate in the trial. Even if she had just grabbed someone else, it would have been better than bringing Li Xiu.

A white light flashed, and Chu Sha appeared on the roulette wheel. His entire body was fixed on the roulette wheel in a spread-eagle position. Except for his eyes and mouth, nothing could move.

A knife bag appeared on Li Xiu's waist, and there were ten throwing knives in the bag.

The roulette wheel slowly spun, and a ten-second countdown appeared on the light screen. After the ten-second countdown was over, Li Xiu's eyes would be covered, and then Li Xiu could start shooting flying knives.
