The sound echoed in the forest and was far away, disturbing many little monsters who had originally lived here. Even the bright insects were hovering in the air and turned their heads to look into the distance.

"It really started early. These foolish monsters from the Western Regions just don't understand the rules." Huai Xu's face became a little more solemn, "It's bad now."

"How many bright and bright insects! Zhou Ni, let's catch bright and bright insects!"

"Wait and catch it with Lord Tuanzi later." Zhou Li remained patient and said, "What should I do now?"

"Let me think about it."

"good."

"Don't be afraid! Lord Tuanzi is very powerful. This is Lord Tuanzi's territory!"

"Ordinary monsters have limited ability to distinguish the celestial masters. I will try to hide the human aura on you first. In the eyes of most monsters, you are an unknown object in human form. In addition, they will most likely recognize you as a monster who is good at changing and concealing the aura. As long as you don't encounter a sharp-eyed monster, you won't be exposed." Huai Xu said with a flash of eyes, "Then let's see if we can find an exit and get you out first. They can pull so many monsters in one go, and there must be an entrance and exit nearby."

"good."

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you. At worst, I won't want that book." Huai Xu paused, his expression still serious, "But if an accident still happens and I don't care about you, I will teach you three spells that can keep you safe. You can recite with me."

"Lord Tuanzi will protect you too!"

"no problem."

"The first sentence: I know Ming Gong."

"?"

"Read quickly."

“emmm…”

"The second sentence, I know Lin Zhong."

"I seem to have guessed the third sentence, too." Zhou Li thought about it and said, "Is it really useful?"

"I think it's useful." Huai Xu shrugged, "Anyway, you have to show that you just broke in by accident and are not interested in their game at all. You are the victim."

“It feels a bit hard to speak.”

"What's hard to say?" Huai Xu shook his head, "Methods are just a way to achieve their goals. The level of the way is not to see whether it looks good or not, but to see whether it is simple and efficient. If you have to choose a more complex method, just because it looks better, it's just about the opinions of ordinary people."

"Not like what you said."

“Um…”

"Zhou Li, Zhou Li! Lord Tuanzi will also teach you a spell!"

Since I saw so many bright insects here, Duanzi was particularly excited and had a strong expression.

Zhou Li couldn't ignore her all the time, so he lowered his head and said to her, "I also guessed Lord Tuanzi's spell, thank you Lord Tuanzi."

"But... Lord Tuanzi hasn't told you yet."

"But I've guessed it."

"Oh! It works very well!"

"knew."

At this moment, the previous voice sounded again above my head, and this time I read out the rules of the game.

Following the guidance of the sound, Zhou Li raised his head high and vaguely saw a mountain rising from the ground between the branches and leaves that were enough to block the light and rain. He changed several angles to see the true appearance of the mountain - like an extremely tall and slender volcano, but towering trees were covered with towering trees, with dark green and no trace of eruption.

The game has begun.

The rules are very simple: as of dawn, the winner is the one who stands on the top of the mountain.

Therefore, on the way to the top of the mountain, it is already a huge arena. The loser will automatically lose the qualification for the game and need to actively show that he has failed when encountering other participants. There is no other way to take the loser out of the venue, it depends entirely on the consciousness of the monsters.

At the same time, monsters are not allowed to disclose the winner's identity.

It's so simple that it's even a little original.

When the sound stopped, the old monster had already helped Zhou Li hide the human breath. He reminded him: "As long as you use spiritual power, it will be exposed, because humans do not use spiritual power at all. No matter how exquisite the magic of the Heavenly Master is, it seems very rough to the monsters, so when you encounter monsters, you'd better not take action, just leave it all to me."

Then he turned his head and looked at the mountains in the distance—

"Like a shabby."

“…”

"You sit here, I'll look for the local little monster and ask where there is an exit." Huai Xu was moving his muscles, "I'll come back to see you every five seconds."

“Not so often.”

“Use it.”

"Peng..."

Huai Xu's figure flashed and disappeared.

Zhou Li hugged the dumpling tightly, turned his head and looked, and found a root hole under an ancient tree on the left, then walked in, sat on a piece of the roots and waited patiently.

He was a little nervous, but he wasn't very panicked either.

Tuanzi twisted in his arms, looked up at him, and asked in a low voice: "When will we go to catch the Liangliangworm?"

"Should you wait a moment."

“How long does it take?”

"It's very dangerous here now. Let's hide for a while, like playing hide-and-seek games. Don't be discovered by others. How about it?"

"It's not dangerous! Lord Tuanzi is very powerful. When he encounters a bad monster, Lord Tuanzi will protect you!" Tuanzi said solemnly, "Catching bright insects is more fun than hiding and seeking!"

"But I want to play hide-and-seek."

“Oh~~”

Lord Tuanzi decided to accommodate next Zhouli.

So she stayed quietly in Zhou Li's arms, without making any noise or moving. She only stared at the bright insects flying outside with her eyes shaking from behind. Her tail shaking left and right exposed her thoughts.

After more than ten minutes.

Huai Xu returned to them, shook his head and said, "There is an entrance and exit nearby, but it was set up a long time ago. The lack of maintenance is already half abandoned and it is difficult to open. This time, a group of big monsters prepared for a long time before barely opening it. I went over and looked at it. It was true. I couldn't open it alone, so it seemed that I could only hide until the game ended."

"Since you come, you will be at ease." Zhou Li saw Huai Xu's guilt, so he acted more calmly, "Lord Tuanzi wants to catch Liangliangzhe to play with."

"Why do you care about her?" Huai Xu sat down next to Zhou Li, turned his head and looked around, "This place is pretty good. If you hide in a little more, you can hide until the end of the game. Then you can hide here. I'll stay with you first, and the dog is here. When they're almost fighting, they'll see the situation out, otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to be besieged."

“Very experienced.”

"That's it! I'll eat chicken!"

"In fact, the best way is to first wander on the edge, make full use of your single combat power and behind the scenes... The quick battle style will first make some monsters that you can beat and at the same time be eliminated when you siege, so that you will face much less pressure in the end." Zhou Li said in a low voice.

"Let's talk about it."

Huai Xu was not willing to leave Zhou Li easily: "If you don't do it in the end, forget it."

"That's a pity."

"I am lucky if I get it, but I am lucky if I lose it."

"It's not like what you said."

"Shh!"

The tree hole suddenly became quiet again.

The silence lasted for a few minutes. Zhou Li held his breath and kept his mind calm, and controlled the dumplings not to make a sound. A few minutes later, a sudden sound of fighting came from outside.

There was a rumbling sound.

There is also the sound of "crossing" of trees being destroyed.

More of the rustling sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

The voice gradually approached them.

The last muffled sound exploded dozens of meters away from them. For this quiet forest, dozens of meters were not long. The sound Zhou Li heard it very clearly, as if a picture of a body hitting heavily on the soft surface was outlined in his mind. The layers of corrosive, wet or dry fallen leaves offset most of the force.

"Mr. Mingzhu is indeed amazing."

"I told you that I can't win."

"I haven't moved my muscles for a long time. I've been sleeping for too long and I've got a little rust. I want to move." The loser paused, "I hope Lord Mingzhu can see the bamboo book as I wish."

"It's so difficult. There are many adults here this time, and I'm afraid I can't get it. I just come here to join in the fun." The monster named Mingzhu sighed, "What a pity, I have always come to Jing Yang Lord Shui Zhen. I used to think about when to come to visit me, but I never thought that when I woke up, Lord Shui Zhen was gone. It's really the sorrow of my country of Yu."

"So that's it." The loser comforted softly, "Don't worry, the winner will still have to hand over it after getting the bamboo book. After waiting for a few years or decades, you will finally see it. This period of time is not very long for you."

"What are you doing?"

"curious."

"Most of them are curious," said Mingzhu, "and I've been sleeping for too long, so I want to join in the fun."

"I think so."

“…”

Although the two monsters had just fought and decided the winner, there seemed to be no resentment in their conversation, and there was not even a trace of anger. Zhou Li could only hear easygoingness and peace, as if it was just two old men gathered in the park to play a game of chess, with both losses and losses.
