After three rounds of drinks, Zhou Bailong said with a smile: "Brother, I have seen many trialists, and I have also seen many real trialists, and there are such people around me. But there is no one like you. Your ball skills can't just rely on the skills of a trialist, right?"

"Skills are only part of the problem. The key is to rely on yourself." Zhou Bailong is a smart man, so there is no need for Li Xiu to say any more nonsense.

"Okay, with what you said, it's not unfair for me, Zhou Bailong, to lose." Zhou Bailong poured a glass of wine for Li Xiu and said, "Are you interested in coming here to help? I happen to have a trial gate here, and the trial project inside is golf. I don't have any other abilities in my life, but I have two advantages. One is that I'm good at playing golf, and the other is that I'm rich."

"Of course, I'm definitely not as good as you, but I'm definitely better than the average person." Zhou Bailong went on to say, "At my age, I have everything except my health. I want to go to the Trial Field to improve my physical fitness. Otherwise, with so many wives at home, who knows which of them will end up with me."

"What do you mean?" Li Xiu understood a little.

"What I mean is, I don't dare to take risks in other trial gates. I am good at Gaoful and I am confident. As long as it is not a very advanced trial, I should have no problem. However, it is better to be safe than sorry, so I would like to ask you to protect me, brother." Zhou Bailong said.

"It shouldn't be as simple as just providing escort, right?" Li Xiu said calmly.

Zhou Bailong even has real trial-takers under his command. If one just wants to go to a low-level trial field to improve his physical fitness, there is no need to look for him. It is not a difficult matter to just find a few professional-level trial-takers.

"Brother, you are indeed a wise man." Zhou Bailong laughed. "Actually, this trial gate does not completely belong to me now. There is another person fighting for it. We have agreed to decide the winner through a trial. Whoever wins the trial will own the trial gate."

"I am determined to win this trial gate. If you help me win it, you can set any conditions you want." Zhou Bailong said.

"Let's talk about the trial rules first." Li Xiu did not offer a price, but just asked.

"It's the rules of golf, a one-on-one duel. The winner passes the trial, and the loser dies." Zhou Bailong did not hide anything and explained the rules of the trial clearly.

"I can take this job, but I have a condition." Li Xiu said to Zhou Bailong.

"You say." Zhou Bailong also looked at Li Xiu. He also wanted to know what Li Xiu's conditions were.

"I want to enter the Gate of Purgatory." Li Xiu said slowly.

"You want to enter the Gate of Purgatory?" Zhou Bailong, Mr. Yu and Chu Jun were all shocked when they heard this.

The Gate of Purgatory is very famous in the Southern Cross Federation. Everyone knows that it is difficult to open the Gate of Purgatory, and it is even more difficult to get out alive.

"Yes, I want to enter the Gate of Purgatory. Is there any way?" Li Xiu asked.

"This may be difficult to handle. The Gate of Purgatory has been sealed by the city lord since that incident, and no one else is allowed to open it. Brother, why are you so desperate to go to a place like that? Thousands of people went in, but only one came out alive, and his whereabouts remain unknown in the end." Zhou Bailong glanced at Mr. Yu and said.

"I just heard about the magic of the Gate of Purgatory and wanted to go and see it for myself," said Li Xiu.

"It's best not to visit that place, as you may go there but never return. How about this, you can enter the Trial Gate under my name at will in the future, and I will take all the gems needed to open the Trial Gate. If there is a chance in the future, I can also arrange for you to enter the Purgatory Gate, and the gems needed to open the gate will also be mine. But I can't guarantee that there will be a chance. After all, I don't have the final say on this matter. It depends on when the Lord of Red Sand City will unseal the Trial Gate." Zhou Bailong said thoughtfully.

"Deal." Li Xiu was very satisfied with such conditions. What he lacked now was the opportunity to enter the trial gate.

After signing the contract with Zhou Bailong, Zhou Bailong sent a list to Li Xiu. On it were all the trial gates under his name. There were as many as thirteen of them. Five of them were near Hongsha City, and the rest were distributed in various places in the Southern Cross Federation.

The nearest trial gate is in Hongsha City, so it is impossible to go there now. Li Xiu can only wait until things here are dealt with before going to Zhou Bailong.

Zhou Bailong's golf match will be held in Hongsha City, and it will be held in a month. He can just go there a few days earlier, so it won't interfere with what's happening in Chongshan City.

Li Xiu also asked Zhou Bailong about the Lord of Chongshan City. Zhou Bailong seemed to have some taboos and did not explain it clearly. He only said that the Lord of Chongshan City had a prominent position in the Southern Cross Federation and asked him not to provoke that person casually.

"I didn't expect your basketball skills were so good. If I had known you had such skills, I wouldn't have to work so hard. I would have just asked you to play basketball with him." On the way back, Chu Jun said with a smile.

"It's just a casual fight, it doesn't matter." Li Xiu said absentmindedly, thinking about the Lord of Chongshan City.

He already knew Zhou Bailong's identity. Even Zhou Bailong, the Gem King, was very secretive about the identity of the Lord of Chongshan City. The Lord of Chongshan City must be someone else.

It may not be that easy for Ximen Guan to get his magic suit back.

"Why do you want to go to the Gate of Purgatory?" Chu Jun asked curiously.

"All true trial-takers should want to go there, it's just a matter of whether they dare or not." Li Xiu replied.

"That's true." Chu Jun nodded, as if he was thinking about something.

After returning to the hotel, Li Xiu gave the Ghost Face Demon Costume to Ximen Guan and added a lot of tools to his room. However, Li Xiu was very skeptical. Can these crude tools really be used to transform the demon costume?

The instruments and tools he had seen in the magic equipment laboratory in the space city were much more advanced than this.

"Just leave it to me. A true master can create the best magic costume with only the most primitive tools. Brother, I will open your eyes and show you what a magic costume is made purely by hand..." Ximen Guan saw Li Xiu's doubts and immediately boasted.

Li Xiu shook his head and went back to his room.

When the Brave Trial Field opened again, Li Xiu and the other two went to the City Lord's Mansion together.

Before leaving, Ximen Guan reminded them that they could only participate in two more trials of the brave at most, as they would probably have to take part in the A-level trial later.

Li Xiu didn't care whether it was A grade or not. It would be even better if it could be S grade. He was worried that he had no place to get the attributes.

Try to get attribute rewards these times. With a higher level of physical strengthening, he will no longer be affected by the Fire Lotus Sword and will be able to clear the level faster.

In addition to these three, the Lord of Chongshan City found seven more trial-takers, two of whom were familiar faces from last time, while the others were very unfamiliar and should have been newly recruited.

One of the familiar faces was Ye Yuzhen. When Li Xiu saw him, Ye Yuzhen glared at Li Xiu fiercely.

I haven't seen him for three days, and his injuries are almost healed.

The adjutant led them to open the Brave Trial Field. Several people walked in one by one and came to the white room again.

"Welcome to the Brave Trial Field. The A-level trial is about to begin. The trial rules are as follows..." An electronic synthesized sound sounded.

The A-level trial came earlier than Ximen Guan expected, and it turned out that an A-level trial was held this time.

The countdown for the first round of the Dark Maze Trial was as long as an hour, which was twice as long as the time limit for the B-level trial. It seemed that the difficulty had been reduced.

Everyone knows that it is not that the difficulty has been reduced, but that the difficulty within the dark maze has increased, so the time has increased accordingly.

Seeing that it was an A-level trial, Ye Yuzhen's expression became serious.

He had never been into the A-level trial, so he didn't know what kind of changes the A-level dark maze would have.

Although you have the advantage of being able to see, a maze is not something you can get out of just by seeing.

Ye Yuzhen glared at Li Xiu and decided to explore the maze first. If he had extra time, he would go and cause trouble for Li Xiu.

Seeing Ye Yuzhen glaring at him, Li Xiu smiled at him.

"Hmph." Ye Yuzhen snorted coldly, turned his head away and ignored Li Xiu's provocation.

When the other trial-takers saw that it was an A-level trial, their faces turned extremely ugly. This trial was much more difficult than the previous ones.

There are several trial-takers here who have participated in the Brave Trial before, but the trials they have participated in before were only E-level and D-level, and few people have even seen B-level.

When an A-level result suddenly appeared this time, they thought they were just unlucky.

When the countdown ended, the light screen suddenly went out and the whole room immediately fell into darkness. The door that was sealed by an invisible force was opened by the trial-takers at the same time, and they chose different directions to rush out.

Ye Yuzhen did not rush out immediately, nor did he chase them.

There weren't many people who could come out of the A-level trial alive, so he didn't need to waste his time and let them die in the trial.

Originally, Ye Yuzhen wanted to explore a way out by himself, but he saw Li Xiu and three others holding hands and heading in the direction he was going.

"Okay, let these three guys help me explore the way." Ye Yuzhen's heart moved, and he followed behind the three of them.

He didn't plan to take action this time, but if anything happened to Li Xiu and the other three, he wouldn't mind giving them a beating.

"You hurt me so badly last time, this time I'll take advantage of the situation." The more Ye Yuzhen thought about it, the more proud he felt, and he was deeply impressed by his own intelligence.

Li Xiu walked in front. He walked very slowly. Every time he pushed open a door, he would listen carefully for a while before going in.

Fortunately, there was nothing special about the first few rooms, but Li Xiu still walked carefully.

Poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts have already appeared in the B-level dark maze, and who knows what will be in the A-level dark maze.

As Li Zheng was thinking, he suddenly felt his right foot sinking, and the floor seemed to sink under his foot.

"Oh no, there's a trap." Li Xiu immediately felt something was wrong and shouted to warn A Fei and Sha Chu.

But the three of them had just reached the center of the room, and were the same distance from each door, so it was too late to move forward or backward.

Ye Yuzhen, who had just followed in, was frightened when he heard Li Xiu shouting that there was a trap. He turned around and wanted to run back.

But the door that had just opened with a push could not be opened this time.

Boom!

The ground in the room suddenly sank in many places, with only a few pillar-like blocks still maintaining their original height.

Ye Yuzhen felt his feet go empty and his body began to fall. He waved his arms desperately, trying to grab something.

Fortunately, he was lucky. There was a square pillar next to him. He grabbed the edge of the pillar and climbed up.

When he lowered his head to look at the sunken place next to him, he was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

The sinkhole was more than ten meters deep, and underneath was covered with steel spikes nearly a meter long. If I had fallen down just now, I would have been pierced like a hornet's nest immediately.

Li Xiu and A Fei stood on the middle pillar, while Sha Chu had let go of A Fei's hand and stood on a pillar next to it.

Li Xiu couldn't see anything, so he slowly tested the edge of the pillar with his feet and found that the pillar was empty on all four sides and there was no way to walk on it.

"Are you okay?" Sha Chu's voice came over.

"Not bad." Li Xiu heard Sha Chu's voice and immediately understood: "There should be some places in this room that have not sunk. We can only pass through this room by jumping to those places that have not sunk."

"But how do we know which places have not sunk?" Sha Chu tried to use the Qi, wanting to illuminate the room with the light of the Qi, but it had no effect at all. The Qi was like a dead object that had lost its life, and it did not react at all.

Ye Yuzhen stood on the pillar and laughed. He could see clearly and knew where the pillars were, so it would be easy for him to get out.

Li Xiu and the others couldn't see, so if they randomly chose a direction to jump over, they would most likely fall down and be stabbed like a hornet's nest.

"Although it's a pity that I can't kill you with my own hands, it's also a happy thing to be able to appreciate the way you die." Ye Yuzhen suddenly said.

"So you are here too." Li Xiu said.

"Hey, of course it's here. How could I miss the scene of you being pierced like a sieve? To tell you the truth, those sunken places are full of sharp cones. Falling in will mean death." Ye Yuzhen said mockingly, "Do you want me to tell you where there is a place to land?"

"Okay, thank you very much." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Hey, listen carefully. Right in front of you, there is another square pillar landing point, two blocks away from the blocks you are standing on. Just jump." Ye Yuzhen said with a sneer.

Ye Yuzhen really didn't lie to Li Xiu. There was indeed a square pillar there, but he was sure that Li Xiu wouldn't believe him.

As long as Li Xiu doesn't believe him, no matter which of the other three directions Li Xiu jumps to, he will end up dead.

He deliberately pointed out a way out, but in fact he made Li Xiu dare not choose that way out.

Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiu actually jumped up in the darkness and landed at the position he mentioned.

"Thank you, friend. What should we do next?" Li Xiu asked A Fei to jump over, and Sha Chu jumped to the place where they were before.

Ye Yuzhen's eyes twitched, and he was secretly angry in his heart: "This kid is really smart. He must have thought that I would deliberately point him in the right direction. I don't believe it. He still dares to trust me. I will point him in the right direction again to see if he dares to jump again."

"The two squares on the right are pillars." As soon as Ye Yuzhen finished speaking, Li Xiu jumped up again.

But this time Li Xiu jumped over as he said and landed steadily on the pillar again.

A Fei and Sha Chu also moved their positions one after another, getting closer to the exit.

"Oh my god, this guy can't be able to see, and is deliberately acting here for me, right?" Ye Yuzhen had long suspected that Li Xiu could see, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not right. If he could really see, he would just go over there. Why was he acting here with him?

"Friend, what next?" Li Xiu's voice came again.

"I just don't believe there are people in the world who would completely trust their enemies." Ye Yu really looked like a gambler who was desperate after losing all his money.

After betting on odd and even numbers for several times in a row, he didn't believe that there would be another odd number, so he resolutely bet on even numbers again.

Ye Yuzhen pointed in the right direction, and Li Xiu jumped over without hesitation and landed on the pillar.

"You're playing psychological warfare on me, huh? Then I'll show you what real psychological warfare is." Ye Yuzhen was feeling depressed. When he heard Li Xiu asking him where to jump, he sneered and said, "There are still six more pillars to reach the other side. The order is front, left, left, front, left, front. Just jump if you trust me."

Seeing that Li Xiu and the others actually listened to him and jumped over the pillars one by one, Ye Yuzhen couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Among his six steps, the first four were correct. He wanted to use these four steps to make Li Xiu fall into a gambler's mentality. The fifth step was actually to the right, but he said left.

If Li Xiu didn't have a gambler's mentality, he wouldn't have believed Ye Yuzhen in the first four steps, and he would have been dead.

If Li Xiu had a gambler's mentality, he would die in the fifth step.

As for the sixth step, it doesn’t matter, because the fifth step is already a sure kill.

Seeing Li Xiu leading A Fei and Sha Chu to jump forward step by step, the first four steps were all done according to what he said, and Ye Yuzhen showed an evil smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough, this guy has a gambler's mentality, so this step is his death." Ye Yuzhen looked at Li Xiu, and a voice in his heart shouted: "Jump down, jump down, this is your life."

As Ye Yuzhen expected, Li Xiu finally jumped, but he did not jump to the left, but to the right.

"What's going on...why did it jump to the right?" Ye Yuzhen widened his eyes and screamed.

He didn't understand why Li Xiu could see through his plan. This was impossible. His plan was perfect.

"My friend, although I'm not very smart, you can't treat me as a fool, right? If I jump to the left as you said, I will jump to the left corner of the wall. If I jump to the right, I will be facing the door..."

Li Xiu's words made Ye Yu feel like he was struck by lightning, and his old face turned red. He only considered the gambler's mentality and had never thought about this problem.

Ye Yuzhen now wished he could find a hole to crawl into. This mistake was too low-level.

"Thank you, my friend. Without you as a guiding light, it would have taken some time to pass through this room." Li Xiu had already led A Fei and Sha Chu out of the room, and turned back to thank Ye Yuzhen.
