Chapter 1069: Going Through Fire and Water

The other section is naturally the sea of ​​fire. Like the mountain of knives, it is also five meters long, but it is not made of wooden boards. Instead, a trench is dug in the ground, filled with firewood, and hot oil is poured on it. After ignition, the entire trench suddenly burns, and the raging flames are more than two feet high. You don’t need to go in, just standing next to it will feel hot.

Moreover, there are people guarding the edge of the sea of ​​fire. Once the flames in a certain place are small, they will immediately add wood and hot oil there, leaving no loopholes to drill.

Seeing this mountain of knives and the sea of ​​fire, the momentum on the field suddenly stagnated. The difficulty of passing the level is so high that it is probably impossible without real skills. Many people even backed down. Among the people who came this time, there must be some who are just filling in the numbers, and there are also many who are not good at this and have no confidence in their own methods. Don’t be selected as a guard, but lose your life.

The performance of several people in the first seven villages was similar to that of everyone else. Some of them were eager to try and seemed very confident in this selection. Some of them were uneasy and obviously had no confidence at all. Of course, there were also some people with more stable temperaments, with gloomy faces, and it was impossible to tell what they were thinking.

Seeing the content of the assessment, Qingyang was relieved. Now that his strength has not recovered, he can at most exert the strength of an ordinary person. If he fights with other Kaimai realm cultivators, he will not be able to exert his strength. But this mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire is different. It is completely passive and does not require any means. Jindan cultivators themselves have strong defensive capabilities, not to mention that he is wearing snake spirit armor.

Although Qingyang was sure to pass, he did not rush forward rashly. He could not see any cultivation level on him. It was too unwise to show off at this time. It would be better to wait in the crowd first to see what level the cultivators in this Mayi Town are at before making a decision.

Everyone seemed to have the same idea. After the mayor announced the start of the competition, the atmosphere became cold. For nearly a cup of tea, no one stepped forward. Ma Xingchen on the stage could no longer sit still and stood up and said, "Why? The people of Mayi Town are so cowardly that no one dares to enter such a low-level mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire? Are all the people who came today timid and cowardly?"

When Ma Xingchen's provocation came out, the audience immediately responded. More than a dozen people stood up, including the big fool from the first village, vying to be the first person to pass the level. Ma Xingchen, the son of the mayor, was watching from above. This was the future young master. If he performed well and was noticed by the other party for his loyalty, he would have a promising future.

There were special people in charge of the two checkpoints. They quickly lined up the dozen people and came one by one in order. These people were loyal, but their strength was average. The first level of the knife mountain was simply horrible. At least ten of them were stabbed by knives. One of them was unlucky and fell directly on the knife mountain. His body was pierced by knives and he almost lost his life.

Among the dozen people, only four people passed the first level of the knife mountain safely. After that, these four people began to go into the sea of ​​fire. The big fool from the first seven villages was one of them. Unfortunately, he was burned and eliminated in the second level. In the end, only one of the four people passed the level.

The fire in this sea of ​​fire is just ordinary fire, which is not as good as the extreme fire and earth fire in the Yinfeng Extreme Fire Cave, and even far inferior to the spiritual fire burning spiritual materials. However, for the lower-level Kaimai realm cultivators such as the Fallen Ghost Abyss, it is already a great test, so such a pass rate is normal.

It may be for reward or to motivate morale, so that others will not be scared off by the difficulty of passing the level. The mayor just glanced at the big man who had gone through the mountains of swords and the sea of ​​fire. Even if he passed the interview, he became the first person to pass the level in this guard selection.

With this first person as an example, the others put down their guard and tried to pass the level. After an hour, more than half of the more than 200 people on the field were gone, and only ten people passed the three levels. Only ten people were selected from more than 100 people, which shows how high the elimination rate is.

As for the Touqi Village, including the big guy, a total of seven people went on the field, and six were eliminated, including the big guy, Sun Dasao and Taoist Mao. The fat man passed the three levels smoothly. As the son of the village chief of Touqi Village, the fat man still has some skills.

Seven people passed one, which is much higher than the probability of one person passing more than ten others. What's more, there are still two people in Touqi Village who have not played, namely Paper Old Man and Qingyang. If these two people can also pass, then the passing rate of Touqi Village this time is too amazing.

Seeing that there were less than a hundred people left on the field, the paper old man could not sit still anymore. He stepped forward and came to the knife mountain. Without saying a word, the paper old man took out scissors, glue and a stack of paper from his arms, and quickly cut out four paper figures and a sedan chair. Then the paper old man chanted a spell, and the four paper figures came to life, lifted the sedan chair and came to the paper old man. The paper old man stepped onto the sedan chair and sat down, and was carried across the knife mountain by the four paper figures.

When they came to the edge of the sea of ​​fire, the four paper figures seemed to be very afraid of the blazing fire. They stepped forward and tried several times but did not dare to cross. In desperation, the paper old man could only jump off the sedan chair, put away the paper figures and sedan chair, and then took out a few pieces of paper clothes from his arms and put them on, including shoes, clothes, and hats, to protect the whole person tightly.

After everything was ready, the paper old man stepped into the sea of ​​fire. The raging flames that scared others were useless to the paper shoes, clothes, and hat on the paper old man. Even the paper old man inside was not affected. No one knew what tricks were used.

The paper old man walked very slowly, as if he was afraid that his spell would fail if he walked too fast. It took him nearly a cup of tea to walk through the five-meter-long sea of ​​fire. When he walked out of the sea of ​​fire, the paper clothes and shoes on his body had turned scorched yellow. If he had walked slower, they would have definitely burned.

The scorched yellow paper clothes had lost their effect. The paper old man took them off, crumpled them into a ball and threw them aside, then came to the mayor and Ma Xingchen. Although the paper old man took a little longer, such a skill was rare. Ma Xingchen did not hesitate at all and let him pass. The paper old man's skill was usually invisible, but it might save lives at a critical moment.

After the paper old man passed the test, dozens of people came on stage. The strength of this group of people was obviously stronger, and the pass rate was much higher than before. Eight out of more than sixty people passed the test. Seeing that there were only twenty people left on the field, and only two of the twenty guards' places were left, Qingyang knew that he could not wait any longer. In case someone else was selected, he would have no chance at all.
