Chapter 247, Island No. 2
Besides, the Ironwood Envoy led Zhao Kui and Zhao Xiaoli to get the Wuhun Pill from Zhongao Island and then returned to the Imperial Capital Island. They traveled day and night and flew all the way. On the way, they saw the scenery of the sea and the defensive formations formed by the patrolling immortals on the periphery of the Imperial Capital Island.
.It can be considered an eye-opener.
When they saw the huge momentum of Imperial Capital Island, they had to feel awe of Nan Di in their hearts. Ten small islands guarded Imperial Capital Island, and there were double-layer isolation barriers inside and outside. Only those who had obtained the spell could enter and exit.
Imperial Capital Island and ten surrounding islands.
The Ironwood Messenger led the two of them to fly to the second island. After chanting the spell, the three of them landed on the island. It was in a forest. There was a sign hanging on the tree with the three characters "Fairy Gate" written on it.
But just like Nan'ao Island, it is a gateway for the immortals who can cast spells to enter and exit the island.
There are several huge bungalows on the second island. Outside the bungalows is a large playground. On the playground there is a team of about thirty warriors wearing armor, practicing swordsmanship under the guidance of an instructor.
The Ironwood envoy pointed to a bungalow and said, "That's the Wuhun Palace."
The bungalow made of stone, with the three characters Wuhun Palace written on the black door, shined in the sun and looked particularly majestic. Zhao Kui couldn't help but said: "This will be the place where I will practice in the future?"
The Ironwood envoy nodded and said: "After training here for a period of time, they will have to pass the next exam. Qualified martial soul warriors will be sent to the Imperial Capital Island and directly returned to the Southern Emperor for deployment."
"Really!" Zhao Kui could not calm down his inner longing. He even fantasized in his mind that the image of the Southern Emperor must be a wise and mighty monarch.
"Go in, there is a test and screening in the Wuhun Palace. After the test, I will arrange a task for you." The Ironwood Messenger stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhao Kui to enter the Wuhun Palace.
Zhao Xiaoli said worriedly: "Brother, be more careful!"
Zhao Kui nodded and strode towards the black door. When he came to the door more than ten feet away, the door slowly opened. Zhao Kui saw that inside was a long room with a long strip in the center.
The corridor was about twenty feet long. But the room was empty, not a single person.
When he stepped into the door, it closed on its own. The room was empty, without any extra decorations, and seemed to have only one corridor.
A voice sounded in the room, and the man said: "I am the Wuhun Palace test examiner. You now obey my command. Okay, now you can move forward smoothly along the aisle and reach the next door smoothly."
At the end of the twenty-foot corridor, there is a slightly smaller door.
Zhao Kui took a deep breath, not knowing what kind of test it was. He stepped onto the aisle and walked steadily towards the next door.
But he could vaguely feel that there must be someone hidden around the house, watching all his actions. They could see him, but he couldn't see them, and he didn't know what they would do.
Just as he was thinking wildly, he noticed that there was some kind of uneasy power behind him. Moreover, it suddenly turned into a bolt of lightning and shot towards him!
Zhao Kui no longer dared to hesitate and fell to the ground in a hurry!
Whoosh -, indeed, a bolt of lightning flew from behind. If he hadn't reacted in time, he might have been injured.
However, before he could get up, two more light groups shot out from both sides, bang, bang, attacking Zhao Kui from both sides!
What a good Zhao Kui, before he could get up, the Wuhun knife at his waist was already unsheathed. He blocked it from left to right and made two bangs, just in time to neutralize the attacks from left and right!
Fortunately, the attack power of the two attacks on the left and right was not too great. At this time, he also understood that this was the test that the Ironwood Messenger was referring to.
At this time, Zhao Kui walked ten feet and stood in the center of the hall. He held the Wuhun Knife tightly and slowly stood up before continuing to move forward.
Sure enough, after taking two more steps, he heard a slight swish sound in the air. But he could tell that there were attacks coming from four directions, front, rear, left and right, and they were attacking him from the top, middle and bottom respectively!
He had no choice but to jump up high and exhale with a "hey" sound from his mouth. He had already jumped seven feet high——
Under his feet, four groups of light flew past him, and he just happened to dodge them!
But before he landed, two more light groups shot from behind!
What a great Zhao Kui, in an emergency, he flew forward and flew away. His whole body merged with the martial soul sword and flew away horizontally.
The two light groups just passed by each other from above and below.
When he landed, he just reached the door at the end.
"Very good," the voice came from the room again, saying: "Your reaction is very quick and you passed the test. Please proceed to the next level of the test."
***
Zhao Kui stood up in front of the door, sheathed his sword, and the next door slowly opened.
Zhao Kui saw the next house, which was very small. It was only one foot square, and there were two footprints on the ground. He stepped through the door and walked into the small room, only to see another door on the left.
The door behind him slowly closed. The test officer's voice sounded in the room again, saying: "Go to the center of the room and step forward."
He felt strange, but he took two steps as instructed, and his feet happened to land on the footprints in the center of the room. The two footprints were exactly the size of the horse stride, so he took the horse stride with breath.
Not long after, he felt an invisible pressure on his shoulders and knees, pressing down on him. In the past, when he was practicing basic skills, he often tied stones to his shoulders and thighs.
But this time, it was an invisible pressure that slowly piled up on his steps. It got bigger and bigger, making him breathless. The pressure caused sweat to fall from his forehead one by one...
After about an hour of burning incense, his legs began to tremble. If he wasn't careful, he would be pressed by invisible pressure and fall to the ground.
Zhao Kui adjusted his breath and felt every bit of strength in his body being squeezed out. He also felt the transparent stone in his body, which actually radiated a steady stream of power, supporting his body and keeping him steady.
The power of horse steps.
At this time, he felt like a stone statue, his body no longer belonged to him, and he had forgotten the fatigue of his physical body...
After another moment of burning the incense, the pressure on my body suddenly disappeared, just in an instant!
He was able to take a deep breath, and the relief he had never experienced suddenly made his heart beat faster, almost beating out of his chest. This was the feeling after exerting extreme physical strength, and he felt dizzy in front of his eyes.
But the voice sounded again, ordering: "Enter the next room quickly. You must try your best to eliminate the resistance in front and walk out of the door in front."
He quickly opened his eyes and put away his horse's stride. Before his legs were tired, he turned left and walked towards the small exit door.
There was a short passage outside the door. Turning back, another small door opened.
