Chapter 773: The Person that the 49th Immortal Sect Wants to Choose (the Third Update. Thanks to the Book Friend Who Bought Yin Shuaiguo for the Reward!)

Li Tong came to a continent where the earth was red. Looking around, he saw that the surroundings were covered with strange blood-colored plants, and some even burned with blazing flames.

"Huh? Where is this?" A clear female voice sounded.

"This may be the Phoenix Little World in the legend of the Four Nine Immortals Sect!" A rough male voice sounded.

Li Tong turned to look to his side and found two people standing next to him. They looked familiar and seemed to be monks participating in the trial. Sensing the fluctuations in his cultivation level, he happened to be a monk in the early stage of cultivating spirits, and was at the same level as him.

At this time, Bai Ling's voice came from the sky again: "In this small world, if you find a lake with black water, you can pass the test."

As soon as Li Tong heard the request, he immediately analyzed it.

Looking for a trial of sorts?

Then the trialists who appeared next to them at a comparable level were obviously assigned by Bai Ling on purpose. They were not enemies in a competitive relationship, but teammates in a cooperative relationship!

"Hello, you two. I am Li Tong. I wonder if you can join me in looking for the Blackwater Lake in the trial?" Li Tong kindly solicited his teammates.

The pretty female cultivator looked stunned when she heard this, and then smiled and said: "Li Tongtong is friendly, my name is Lilac, and I am happy to search for Blackwater Lake with you."

The burly man nodded and said: "Friend Li Dao, my name is Cheng Yingxiong. I recognize you. You performed very well in the previous trial, and I am willing to go with you."

"Fellow Taoist Cheng Yingxiong was so complimentary. It was just a fluke." Li Tong said humbly, but he felt happy in his heart.

It seems that in the previous trials, he had a very good image in the minds of the trialists!

Look, that lilac-like girl looks at him with a touch of reverence and trust. what is this? This is personal charm!

In this way, the three monks happily formed a team to search for the legendary Blackwater Lake.

This trial is naturally not as simple as finding the Blackwater Lake. There must be other dangers hidden. Otherwise, how would the remaining trialists be eliminated?

This was indeed the case. During their search, they encountered plants that could spit fire and burn people, various flaming beasts, and flaming birds.

The three of them were all in the early stages of spiritual cultivation, so they had no problem dealing with those monsters, and there were no dangers along the way.

Two days passed like this, and the search yielded no results, but the cooperation of the three of them was already very tacit.

On the third day, the three of them flew over a red ravine with swords and found a lake at the end.

"Look over there, there's a lake!" Ding Xiang said excitedly.

Upon seeing this, Li Tong and Cheng Yingxiong had expressions of surprise on their faces, and they also accelerated their sword handling.

They would get excited every time they saw the lake. Regardless of whether it was the black water lake Bai Ling mentioned, they would go to the lake to try their luck first.

Cheng Yingxiong flew to the center of the lake first and frowned: "Although the lake is turbid and red, it is obviously not a black water lake."

Li Tong and Ding Xiang looked at the lake, with disappointment flashing across their faces for a moment.

At this moment, a huge splash suddenly burst out from the lake.

Boom!

A giant dragon with a length of more than ten feet rose into the sky and bit into Cheng Yingxiong!

Cheng Yingxiong's face changed drastically, and his body protection spell was activated instantly. At this time, the giant dragon's bloody mouth had already enveloped his body. He immediately used the giant sword to block the top of his head, and when he closed his huge mouth, he was blocked by the giant sword.

"Ah... help!" Cheng Yingxiong struggled to resist the bite of the giant dragon and was about to lose his strength.

Boom boom...

Two giant dragons emerged from the lake again, their red eyes flashing dangerously.

"Cheng Yingxiong!"

When Li Tong saw this, he immediately rushed to help, but at this moment Ding Xiang held his hand.

"Li Tong, don't be impulsive! Those three giant dragons are all in the middle stage of spiritual cultivation. They are obviously waiting for us to go there. We only have the early stage of spiritual cultivation. If we go, we will probably die there. !" Ding Xiang persuaded loudly.

"But... there is still hope!" Li Tong gritted his teeth.

"Are you stupid! Don't forget what our purpose is, which is to find Blackwater Lake through practice! We are not dying here for our teammates!" Ding Xiang shouted.

Boom boom!

Two giant dragons with their heads exposed in the lake spread their wings and swooped towards Li Tong and Ding Xiang at extremely fast speeds, apparently deciding to take the initiative to attack.

"Run!" Ding Xiang shouted when she saw this, turned around and ran away.

Li Tong trembled all over.

Cheng Yingxiong could no longer hold on and was completely swallowed by the giant dragon. It's not impossible to rescue Cheng Yingxiong from being surrounded by two giant spiritual dragons. But...the danger is too great!

"I'm sorry, fellow Taoist Cheng Yingxiong, my dream is to pursue the supreme road, and my life cannot be left here!" Li Tong shouted, as if to relieve the guilt in his heart, and then turned around and ran away!

"Li Tong, save me!"

Cheng Yingxiong's cry for help came from behind.

Li Tong closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and ran away into the distance.

Behind him, the roar of the giant dragon chasing after him and the sound of Cheng Yingxiong's body being bitten into pieces could be heard.

Li Tong fled frantically, and then the world turned into darkness.

He was stunned for a moment, and then fell into a coma.

In the endless darkness.

Consciousness slowly returns.

Li Tongli opened his hazy eyes and found that he had arrived in a familiar space.

"This is...me, how did I get here?"

A bad feeling arose in my heart.

He looked at the hundreds of cultivators who also appeared in this space, all of them looked gloomy. Some cultivators looked at him with sympathy and a touch of comfort...

"You lost." Bai Ling looked up at the dozens of pictures in the void and said without looking back.

"I, how could I lose? I'm not dead! I haven't found the Black Water Lake, and the trial is not over yet!" Li Tong shouted.

"Could it be... Could it be that the time limit is up?"

He suddenly thought of a possibility and said.

Bai Ling smiled faintly: "Looking for the Black Water Lake? No, there is no Black Water Lake in that small world."

Boom!

Li Tong was like being struck by thunder, and thought of another possibility.

The trial to find the Black Water Lake is all fake!

Just like walking up the stairs to the end, it's all a cover! !

"So I..."

Bai Ling nodded and said, "Yes, the reason you lost the trial is because you abandoned your teammates when you had the hope of saving them."

Li Tong was breathing rapidly, dissatisfied and unwilling.

He argued, "Why? Saving him requires a great risk. Isn't it normal for me to make such a choice to survive?!"

Bai Ling smiled and said, "I didn't say you did it wrong. In fact, in that situation, any choice you made is understandable. But my Sijiu Xianzong prefers people who are willing to risk their lives to save their teammates. It's my freedom to choose. What you think has nothing to do with me?"

Li Tong opened his mouth with a dull look.

Just then, there was a movement beside him, and a rough man sat up.

"Huh? Brother Li Tong! What's going on? Why did I save you from the giant dragon's mouth and we are here?" The man asked.

Li Tong looked at the man beside him in shock, as if he had seen a ghost: "Cheng... Cheng Yingxiong! Are you still alive?"

Cheng Yingxiong hit Li Tong's chest and laughed: "Hey, are you scared? I almost died, but didn't I save you and escape together successfully?!"

"Huh... where is this place?" Another familiar voice sounded.

"Ah! Li Tong! It's so good that you are not dead! Woo woo woo... I rushed to save you, but you were eaten by a giant dragon. I was really helpless at the time..." The woman's eyes were red, and she cried with joy when she saw that Li Tong was safe and sound.

Li Tong's expression was dull, as if something was blocking his chest.

Fake, all fake... The previous one should be some kind of illusion, right?

Too exciting, too bullying! !

"Congratulations, Cheng Yingxiong, Dingxiang, you two passed the trial!" Bai Ling smiled and said to the two.

After a brief confusion, Cheng Yingxiong and Dingxiang cheered together.

Although I don't know why I passed the test, Bai Ling said it himself, so it's safe!

"By the way, Li Tong, you woke up faster than us, did you also pass the test?!" Ding Xiang said happily.

Li Tong shook his head silently and said bitterly: "I, I failed."

"Ah? How could it be, why is this?" Cheng Yingxiong was shocked.

Li Tong looked at Cheng Yingxiong who was full of energy, speechless, but tears were about to fall.

What's going on with this awkward, weird and sad atmosphere?

He couldn't say that he failed because he didn't save Cheng Yingxiong...
