Chapter 1456 Trial of the Brave
Liu Chu followed the two of them slowly to an ancient village. The people in this village looked no different from ordinary people, but Liu Chu felt the pressure from them.
Because he knew the strength of these people, he was probably the worst in the saints, so he was not a little arrogant, but said with his fists:
"Boy Liu Chu comes from the outside world and takes the liberty to bother you, and I hope you will forgive me."
One of the old men walked out slowly and said, "You are the one who comes from the outside world? You don't look very strong."
At this time, an old man less than three feet tall came out of the house in the middle. Although the old man was very weak in breath, his bright eyes made Liu Chu seem to be hiding nothing, and all his secrets seemed to be seen through by him at first sight.
The old man said, "I just beat the drum. Ye Qing, you did a good job this time." After that, he turned to look at Liu Chu and said lightly:
"Dear guest, you're finally here."
Liu Chu was slightly stunned, then bowed slightly to the old man and said:
"I don't know why you call me a distinguished guest, because I feel that with my strength, I can't do anything in the village."
When the people around him heard this, they nodded and said:
"It seems that you are quite self-aware!"
"It's so good to teach me. It seems that although this kid has a strong and stature, he is still self-aware. If he can practice here for hundreds of years, we will have hope when he reaches the Saint or Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal."
The old man gently tapped the crutch in his hand on the floor, and suddenly a mysterious force scattered everywhere, and all the whispers around him disappeared. The old man looked at Liu Chu and said:
"It is naturally because you have great value to us."
"Didn't you find that most of the people in our village are lonely and widowed. The only young generation is Ye Qing and Ye Mi here. Are the others not here?"
Liu Chu was slightly stunned, then nodded, and smiled awkwardly: "Boy is stupid, but then I realized that I don't know what the reason is?"
"As long as you pass the test of the brave in our village, you are qualified to know, but your current strength is basically just looking for death when you participate in the test of the brave!"
"The test of the brave? What is that?" Liu Chu was a little confused about this, and then smiled and said:
"Sorry, the brave man tested such a dangerous thing, and I was not interested in participating. Besides, my strength was too low. According to your opinion, I may die if I participated, so I don't need to know."
After saying that, he bowed his hand and planned to retreat. The people did not stop him. Only the old dwarf looked at Liu Chu slowly and then spoke:
"Since that's the case, I won't keep you anymore. Be careful, but without going through the test of a brave man, you will not be able to enter the unique path of our village to the ginseng fruit. As for if you want to open up a path, you will need extremely terrifying luck and strength!"
When Liu Chu heard this, his figure, who had originally planned to leave, suddenly solidified. Liu Chu knew that it was impossible to find a new way with his own strength alone. The old man seemed to be hitting a snake and hitting seven inches. He suddenly grabbed Liu Chu's weakness, forcing Liu Chu to participate in the so-called test of brave men.
"I don't know what to call the old man?"
"I was respectfully called Chen Lao by the little guys in the clan. If you don't mind, you can call me that."
Old Chen still looked at Liu Chu with a smile and said:
"Since that's the case, then you can settle down first. After all the little guys in the clan come out of seclusion tomorrow or come back, we will hold a test. Of course, you can naturally admit defeat when you lose."
Liu Chu nodded gently, but he was thinking:
In my Liu Chu's dictionary, there is no word "betray without fighting"! If I really can't beat me, I will admit it, but if I'm going to surrender before I fight, I don't think I will agree.
Time flies quickly, and two days passed without realizing it. In the morning of the third day, Liu Chu opened his eyes for a moment, and a breath like a giant dragon slowly rose, giving people an unparalleled sense of oppression.
At the same time, there were also a series of auras outside the world appearing with the sound of drums. Liu Chu got up, and as soon as he moved his body, he entered a huge open space.
There were already many people in the open space, and Ye Mi was naturally among them yesterday. When she saw Liu Chu, she actually walked over and said:
"You have to work hard. I hope you can describe to me what happened outside, and I hope you can take me out of here."
"Ye Mi, what do you have to say to her? Come back quickly!" At this time, a rough voice came out. Liu Chu turned his head and saw that he was a strong man with unconcealed admiration in his eyes looking at Ye Mi.
"Ye Chang, please pay attention to your words. Liu Chu is our distinguished guest, but you cannot tolerate you being so slight. Apologize quickly, otherwise I will report this matter to Mr. Chen and ask him to decide."
The man called Ye Chang looked at Liu Chu and said:
"Just like this kind of ant, you even asked me to apologize to him and tell you, he could never be our legendary distinguished guest. Although he came from the outside world, didn't he say that? He just broke in by accident."
"Besides, even if he is our distinguished guest, if he does not have the strength to prove it, I believe there will be many people here who are dissatisfied, right?"
As soon as this sentence came out, there were a series of voices of approval in the hall.
Chen Lao walked out slowly at this time, and the crutches in his hand gently paused to the ground twice, and then said:
"Stop quarrel. Now let me talk about the things that will be tested by the brave. The first item is the knockout round. There are 21 people here, fighting in pairs, and then the top eleven people will be decided, one of whom was directly bye because of the lottery."
As he said that, twenty-one wooden balls were thrown out, and there was a number on them, but the old man didn't know what method he used to let Liu Chu and others see the number clearly. The ball rotated in the sky and then fell rapidly towards everyone.
"There are two numbers for each number, and those with No. 21 will directly advance to the second round of the test bye. Do you have any disagreement with the method of this test?"
Everyone shook their heads and then reached out to grab a wooden ball. Liu Chu also grabbed a wooden ball casually. Suddenly, some abnormal movements around made Liu Chu feel a little distracted. He found that if the number of the person with the wooden ball was the same, a ray of light would appear to connect the two of them in pairs, and he just didn't have the light to connect. He raised his hand and saw that there was a striking number on the ball: twenty-one.
"Boy, what? What number are you? Let me tell you that if you can pass this first round of test, I, Ye Chang, will be your younger brother in the future, and I will never refuse!" All the words were mocking.
Liu Chu smiled and said, "You are serious about this?"
Ye Chang nodded, suddenly with an ominous premonition, and Liu Chu also raised the wooden ball in his hand, and the number he came to the door made Ye Chang's face turn red!
Twenty-one!!!
In other words, Liu Chu actually took a bye in this round.
Ye Chang looked at Liu Chu with an unhappy look and said to Old Chen:
"Old Chen, I think this is unfair, because if Liu Chu had his first round of bye, wouldn't the requirement to evaluate according to his strength be impossible? So I hope that Liu Chu can participate in this test and that the person with the highest cultivation among us can get this qualification."
Old Chen looked at Ye Chang and said lightly:
"Have you never heard of it? Luck is also part of strength. Why among so many light balls, he only chose No. 21, but others have no choice?"
Ye Chang could only smile helplessly when he heard this sentence, and then said:
"Since that's the case, I can only defeat you later, boy... Boss!!! Remember to me that Ye Mi is my person, and no one is allowed to get involved."
When Liu Chu heard this, he could only spread his hands with a smile and said:
"The relationship between me and her is not the kind of relationship you imagined. I come from the outside world, and you should also know that because she has a full interest in the outside world, I chose to tell her about external things, and he would also tell me about the customs here. We two are just mutually beneficial."
After this sentence, Ye Chang's face became much better and said:
"That's true, then that's good."
Mr. Chen coughed at this time and said, "Since that's the case, let's start the showdown, first draw number one to play."
The first person to play was a tall and thin man and a man holding an iron sword in his hand but with a layer of gauze wrapped around his eyes. Ye Mi saw Liu Chu looking at the two of them and said:
"The person who holds the sword also has a nickname in our village, called Jianchi. He is extremely affectionate with swords and his sword skills are also extremely superb. The other person is Ye Chang's younger brother, named Ye Xing. Although he is very strong, he can only lose with Jianchi with his strength."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xin looked at Jianchi and said, "Brother Jianchi, please show mercy."
Seeing this, Jian Chi suddenly raised a curve at the corner of his mouth and said:
"If you can take my sword, then this battle will be your victory. What do you think?"
When Ye Xin heard this, she was overjoyed and said:
"Since Brother Jian Chi is so successful, I won't refuse."
As he said that, he reached out and pointed at the sky: "The stars in the nine heavens, the power of the stars falls."
