Chapter 51 The trial begins
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. When Lin Yi emerged from the back mountain, it was surprising that the entire sect had changed from deserted and deserted to a bustling place - the annual mountain trial was second to none for the Xiaoyao Sect.
Except for those disciples who have gone out for training and cannot return, almost all disciples in the sect will participate in this important event.
Everyone participating in the trial has a clear goal: the direct disciples and inner disciples compete for the top rewards, the outer disciples want to be promoted to become inner disciples, and as for those young immortal cultivators who do not yet belong to Xiaoyao Sect,
It’s to fight for the few entry-level places.
Of course, these young people still don’t know that in this year’s “Mountain Trial”, no matter they can reach the end, they will eventually be included in the sect, and then move to the safe south with the sect headquarters.<

……
After half an hour's flight, a deacon surnamed Qian took Lin Yi and nineteen outer disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect to the No. 4 entrance on the side of Linchang Road. At the entrance, there were already nearly a hundred people.
Young people from various cultivating families are waiting eagerly.
As soon as they saw everyone from the Xiaoyao Sect arriving, the crowd immediately caused a commotion - these young people raised their heads and looked at Lin Yi and the others with envy... The look in their eyes was like that of the candidates in the college entrance examination room who were already being looked at.
Tsinghua University and Peking University offer the same to senior students who have been admitted.
"There is still a quarter of an hour before the trial officially starts." Deacon surnamed Qian stood up out of thin air, "There is nothing to say about the rules of the trial. I think everyone already knows it, but there are a few points that need to be emphasized -"
He cleared his throat, cast a small spell on himself to increase the volume, and continued: "During the trial, battles are allowed, sieges are allowed, alliances are allowed, and treachery is allowed; traps can be laid and all portable items can be used.
The spells, magic weapons, and all the tactics and strategies you can think of are within the allowed range."
"However," Deacon surnamed Qian changed the subject, "It is prohibited to kill opponents who have lost the ability to fight. It is prohibited to use lethal poisons and poisons. It is prohibited to bring tame animals into the venue, whether they are exotic beasts with magical powers or ordinary pets.
Dogs, it is forbidden to call in foreign aid... Try, try not to damage the natural environment in the trial area. Using fire attribute spells to set fire to the mountains will cause the final score to drop significantly. Injuring wild animals in the trial area will also deduct points. If you hurt
Endangered species that are on the protected animal list will have their scores cancelled."
"There are giant pandas living in the Qinling Mountains... If you accidentally kill one with a range attack spell, you will be imprisoned for the rest of your life." An outer disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect next to Lin Yi whispered to him.
The companion said, "Even if we are immortal cultivators, we cannot be exempted."
"These rules are too rigid... What if your opponent uses wild animals as a shield?" Another outer disciple frowned.
"This is also a type of tactic. Although it is disgraceful, it does not violate the rules and will not affect the results." The outer disciple who spoke at the beginning shrugged, "There is no way, the seniors in the Mingming Sect can use magic to
These animals were driven away from the trial area, but they refused to do so. Presumably they considered these things as part of the trial content."
"It's so annoying. I spent all my money to buy a lot of deflagration spells. I originally expected to be a humanoid self-propelled bomber, but now all my plans were ruined." The second disciple raised his forehead and said, "
It’s really unpleasant to have to be timid in a fight.”
After deacon surnamed Qian finished speaking, he distributed more than a hundred spirit coins to every trialist at entrance No. 4. This is a small diamond-shaped stone that exudes green fluorescence. Once it is obtained, it will interact with the holder.
Forming a special connection, even if it is discarded, it will float in mid-air, adsorbed to the side of the holder, and follow closely.
Within a quarter of an hour, the deacon surnamed Qian had already given the order to set off.
Before the hundreds of trialists gathered on the roadside could make any move, the arrow bamboo forest directly in front of them suddenly closed in on them, as if the space had been folded in an instant, "swallowing" everyone into the forest.
.
There is a huge teleportation circle carved into the ground at the trial entrance. When the magic circle is activated, all trial participants will be teleported to a random location in the arrow bamboo forest. From this moment on, the "Mountain Trial" will be
It’s officially begun.
Perhaps the number of participants in this trial was too large. Even if everyone's positions were dispersed through random teleportation, Lin Yi still saw several teleported trial participants within Lin Yi's field of vision.
These trialists looked at each other and did not rush to take action. Instead, they immediately ran away in different directions.
If you do not have absolute confidence in your own strength, it is a very stupid strategy to fight at the beginning of the trial - at this time, the number of spirit coins carried by everyone is not large, and the cultivation level has not been significantly affected.
Suppression, in other words, all the trialists are still in "full strength". Fighting with others at this time will only increase unnecessary consumption and risks.
Everyone wants to be the fisherman who reaps the benefits.
Lin Yi took out his mobile phone, glanced at it and stuffed it back into the Najie - just like in Xiaoyao Sect, there was no signal at all, and GPS satellites could not provide positioning information. Mortal electronic devices could not function in this trial.
It was of great help.
He took out the compass again and saw that the magnetized pointer on the dial was spinning around, with no intention of stopping - not only was the radio signal completely shielded, but even the geomagnetic field in the trial area was passing through.
special treatment.
However, it is not difficult to determine the direction in the bamboo forest. Many bamboos have moss growing on their roots. The side with more moss is naturally the shady side facing north.
Lin Yi walked southwest for almost half an hour, and then he had passed through the arrow bamboo forest and arrived at the open Paoma Liang area.
Paoma Liang in early summer is full of emerald green as far as the eye can see. The rolling ridges divide Paoma Liang into north and south sides with completely different scenery - the sunny side on the south side is a vast meadow.
The still upright fir trees stand like the bones of giants under the cliff; the slopes on the north side are covered with large areas of exposed gray-white rocks. The vegetation is sparser, but many jagged and strange rocks formed by weathering can be seen on the top of the mountain.
The strong wind passes through the wind tunnel on the rock, emitting a melodious whine, just like a rough but touching primitive musical instrument, playing continuously on the mountain top, day after day.
Looking into the distance, through the thin clouds and mist, you can clearly see the Lujiaoliang and Guangtou Mountains facing Paoma Liang. Further down, there is a primitive jungle with few human traces. The trees in the valley are far larger than
The dense vegetation on the top of the mountain makes it an excellent hiding place and also a very suitable place for setting up an ambush.
According to the map provided by Wen Ren Shaoming, trialists entering from entrances No. 1, 3 and 8 will need to pass through this virgin forest - in the primitive forest with limited vision, the probability of fighting will be far greater.
