Chapter 96: Sooner or later, you will harm yourself.
"Hand over the exploration crystal ball and I will let you go."
Pei Ze said with an indifferent expression.
The same words Tan Yang had just said to Pei Ze a moment ago.
Now that it was said from Pei Ze's mouth, there was a strong sense of irony.
However, Tan Yang couldn't care less about the shame and felt happy when he heard this.
Of course he would be very happy if he could avoid being eliminated.
As long as you remain in the maze, there is a glimmer of hope.
However, he did not relax his vigilance and stared at Pei Ze. He was ready to teleport away at any time and asked vigilantly: "How can I believe that what you said is true?"
Pei Ze said lightly: "Just sign the contract. Tan
Yang immediately said: "You write the contract content."
He looked like a badger hiding at the entrance of the cave ready to sneak into the ground at any time, worried that the hunter would suddenly shoot him.
Pei Ze smiled contemptuously and controlled the energy particles to write directly in the void.
Tan Yang watched Pei Ze's every move intently, fearing that he might behave abnormally.
But as he looked at it, there was suddenly a trace of confusion in his eyes, and his originally tense body felt a little relaxed for a moment.
And at this moment, a wisp of black mist flashed behind Tan Yang like a ghost, and the strip suddenly turned into the shape of a crow, and its sharp claws shining with cold light hit the back of Tan Yang's neck.
Click!
The strengthened skin was as fragile as tissue paper in front of the sharp claws, and was torn and shattered in an instant, revealing fresh flesh and blood.
It wasn't until this moment that Tan Yang woke up suddenly, showing a horrified expression.
He instinctively wanted to activate the teleportation ring.
Unfortunately it was too late.
As the sharp claws passed by, a huge head suddenly rose into the sky, and blood spurted out from the broken neck, splashing three to four meters high.
Plop!
The head fell to the ground, and Gulu rolled far away before stopping, revealing a face of despair and fear.
Pei Ze slowly retracted his palm, a sneer flashing across his face.
Hypnosis can cause creatures to fall into a state of ecstasy through gestures or spells.
From beginning to end, Pei Ze never thought of letting Tan Yang go.
The reason for this unnecessary move was just because he was afraid that Tan Yang would teleport away, so he pretended to covet the crystal ball to make him relax his vigilance.
Arriving in front of Tan Yang's headless body, Pei Ze squatted down and groped for a while, and soon found a dimensional bag. After opening it, he found a crystal ball. After
checking it, a smile appeared on his face.
Yes, there are seven detection spells left in the crystal ball.
After standing up, Pei Ze took away the dimensional bags from the other two corpses, and then left the room with the ferocious wild boar and Wu Yu.
On the mountainside.
Meng Kai's smile stagnated, and he stared blankly at the scene in the sky, unable to recover for a long time.
Is this a defeat?
The three of them joined forces, but they couldn't even injure Pei Ze, and in turn, the entire army was wiped out?
Are you kidding me? !
Meng Kai's face instantly turned livid, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
idiot! waste!
Knowing that Pei Ze has mastered the silent spell, he still has no precautions at all. This is extremely stupid!
The key was to forget about it even if he died, and gave Pei Ze a crystal ball for exploration.
In this way, the difficulty for Pei Ze to reach the center of the maze has been reduced a bit.
Mengkai was extremely angry.
Several shadow students could not hide their horror on their faces.
In terms of strength, Tan Yang is enough to rank in the top ten among the participants this time.
However, such a master was almost powerless to fight back under Pei Ze. He was suppressed from the beginning to the end. In the end, he died on the spot before he could even activate the teleportation ring.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.
At this moment, in their hearts, Pei Ze's strength seemed to have risen to the same level as Meng Wei, Sang Fan and others.
Several people couldn't help but glance at Meng Kai secretly.
According to the current trend, Pei Ze may actually get a spot in the competition.
Noticing the look in his companion's eyes, Meng Kai's eyes twitched slightly and he said nothing with a sullen face.
Now he could only hope that his eldest brother, Su Shouhai, and Sang Fan would reach the center of the maze as soon as possible.
As long as they get the iridescent gem first, no matter how powerful Pei Ze is, he can't even try to steal it from their hands.
Seeing the change in Meng Kai's expression, Gu Lin's lips curled up slightly.
Yin Guang, who was standing next to him, was still immersed in the shock caused by Pei Ze's killing of Tan Yang and the others, and could not recover for a long time.
As the scene of Pei Ze killing Tan Yang was noticed by many people, there was a buzz among the spectators, and more and more eyes were focused on Pei Ze.
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Pei Ze has undoubtedly become one of the most promising candidates to get a place in the competition, just like Meng Wei and the other three.
By probing the crystal ball, Pei Ze's next exploration process became a lot easier. .
When he encountered a relatively simple fork in the road, he relied on the fog crow to explore the way.
When encountering complex terrain, just use the exploration spell to find the correct path.
The two phases alternated, and there were basically no wrong paths along the way.
Except for encountering a legendary knight-level four-armed orangutan on the way, which took a lot of effort to solve, the exploration process was basically smooth.
Just when only three of the detection spells were consumed, Pei Ze finally found a new treasure chest in a room.
After defeating the guardian monster, he successfully obtained the third crystal ball.
"Ten more detection spells."
Pei Ze had a smile on his face.
Although he didn't know how far he was from the center of the maze, it had been more than forty hours since he entered the maze. Judging from the time, he shouldn't be too far from the center of the maze.
The remaining thirteen detection spells are probably enough to support him to reach the center of the maze.
Putting away the crystal ball, Pei Ze did not continue on his way, but sat down and began to meditate to restore his mental strength.
Along the way, although I have saved my mental energy as much as possible, by now, nearly half of my mental energy has been consumed.
To be prudent, it is better to restore the mental power to its peak before reaching the center of the maze.
As Pei Ze entered a meditative state, the room quickly fell into silence, with only the crackling sound of burning sparks coming from the torch hanging on the wall from time to time.
The ferocious wild boar man sat aside, unexpectedly quiet, and secretly looked at Wu Yu next to Pei Ze from time to time.
For some reason, this small crow felt an extremely strong sense of oppression, so much so that it had to restrain its violent temper for fear of offending the other party.
After an unknown amount of time, Pei Ze suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice:
"Who?"
Seeing that he was discovered, the person no longer tried to hide his figure and walked in from the door openly.
But she was a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes and a hot figure.
Pei Ze's eyes fell on the opponent's bulging chest, where he wore a badge with a violet pattern painted on the surface.
Violet Academy!
At the same time, the girl also saw the Tower Academy badge on Pei Ze's chest and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Then, she looked at the ferocious wild boar man aside, with a flash of surprise in her eyes. The ferocious quilboar is an alien creature close to the realm of a legendary knight.
Being able to summon an alien creature of this level, the man in front of him is obviously not weak.
The girl's eyes flashed, she smiled and said, "I mean no harm, I'm just passing by."
Pei Ze looked at her calmly, secretly using his omniscient eye to detect.
[Analysis requires 12 points of mental energy. Do you want to analyze it? ]
12 points of mental power!
Pei Ze's heart moved.
You must know that even the wizard apprentice who was suspected of being a city guard only consumes 7 points of mental power for analysis.
The girl in front of me is actually more powerful than that person!
Pei Ze couldn't help but take a deep look at the girl.
For some reason, Xiao Xi always felt that the gaze of the person in front of him was particularly penetrating, as if he felt like he was being seen through inside and out.
She had never felt this way before, even when facing her mentor.
Involuntarily, Xiao Xi felt a slight fear of the young man in front of her.
She didn't wait any longer, smiled and nodded to Pei Ze, and then walked towards the exit on the other side.
It wasn't until she was far out of the room and away from Pei Ze's sight that Xiao Xi's tense body relaxed slightly, frowning and murmuring to herself.
"Who is that person?"
She originally thought that there were not many people who could make her feel threatened in this trial. At best, only Meng Wei, Sang Fan and Su Shouhai could make her take a high look. Unexpectedly, she encountered another person now. To an invisible wizard's apprentice.
And he's from Tower Academy.
In addition to Yin Xue, who has already been promoted to wizard, when did the Tower Academy have another powerful figure?
In a room with flickering firelight.
Pei Ze watched the girl's figure disappear into the distance, then withdrew his gaze and continued to meditate.
By the time his mental strength was restored, more than six hours had passed.
Opening his eyes, Pei Ze stood up, stretched, and continued exploring with the ferocious wild boar.
"There are still twenty hours until the end of the trial. I wonder how many people are left in the maze now?"
Pei Ze thought while walking on the empty corridor.
Judging from the experience of these two days, the area of the maze is undoubtedly very large.
There are less than a hundred participants scattered throughout the maze, so it is undoubtedly very difficult to encounter them.
He also waited until he reached the depths of the maze before meeting two waves of people one after another.
However, it can be predicted that as you get closer to the center of the maze, the possibility of encountering other wizard apprentices becomes greater.
In the few hours before the trial ends, the wizard apprentices who have not yet been eliminated will probably gather at the center of the maze.
At that time, it will be the time to truly test the strength of these participants.
More than two hours later, Pei Ze met another wave of participants.
There were three people on the other side, all dressed as military wizard apprentices in gray robes and inner armor.
The two sides walked out from both ends of the corridor at the same time, and met each other three to four hundred meters apart. They put on alert postures at almost the same time, and couldn't help but look at each other with scrutinizing eyes.
After a moment of confrontation, the leading wizard apprentice on the opposite side suddenly spoke.
"There is no need to fight between us, what do you think?"
"Indeed." Pei Ze nodded slightly.
"How about we go first?"
"Okay."
Someone was opening the way for him, so Pei Ze naturally wouldn't refuse.
Of course, he knew that the other party was trying to reach the center of the maze first.
They are obviously very confident in their ability.
As Pei Ze agreed, the atmosphere in the corridor suddenly relaxed a lot.
The leading man nodded towards Pei Ze, then led his companions carefully to the entrance of the room in the middle of the corridor and stepped inside.
After walking a certain distance, the young man following Sang Fan whispered: "Captain, I see that guy has a crystal ball in his hand, why don't you grab it?"
Sang Fan shook his head and said, "We are now far away from the center of the maze. It should not be far away, the remaining three exploration crystal balls are enough for use, there is no need to add extraneous details."
After a pause, he showed a meaningful look.
"Besides, that young man is difficult to deal with. If we really fight, even if we can win, we will probably have to pay a heavy price." As soon as
these words came out, the two companions were surprised.
The young man who just spoke showed a doubtful expression and said hesitantly: "But I see that he is wearing the badge of the Tower Academy. He is clearly just a student. How powerful can he be?" "Don't underestimate those students. Although they have been practicing for more years
than We are few, but there are many powerful people among us, like Meng Wei, who is also a student. What do you think of his strength?" The
young man's expression suddenly froze.
Mengwei is recognized as one of the three people with the best chance of getting a spot in the competition, and he is certainly very powerful.
But he was still not convinced.
Seeing his expression, Sang Fan shook his head helplessly and explained: "Have you forgotten what happened to Huo Nan before?" The
young man was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized, his eyes widened in shock: "You Are you saying that the person just now was Pei Ze?"
Sang Fan nodded: "You are sixteen or seventeen years old and a student of the Tower Academy, and you can still come here alone. I can't think of anyone else except Pei Ze." The young man
and The other companion suddenly looked solemn.
If it's Pei Ze, it's really not worth taking action, and the risks and benefits don't match at all.
Sang Fan glanced at his two companions and said earnestly: "In the future, remember to observe and think more when encountering problems. Don't let the little benefit in front of you blind your reason. Otherwise, you will be impulsive and reckless like Tan Yang, which will harm yourself sooner or later." The two nodded quickly
. should be.
They knew that their captain had never dealt with Tan Yang, and they didn't care about his words that belittled Tan Yang.
The three of them didn't say anything more and moved on.
In the corridor, Pei Ze waited patiently for more than ten minutes before walking into the middle entrance.
He was more thoughtful and let the ferocious wild boar man walk in front to prevent the three people from setting any traps along the way.
"Speaking of which, these wizard apprentices who came from the army should have mastered some method of long-distance communication, otherwise it would be impossible to meet people twice in a row."
Pei Ze thought to himself.
It's a pity that he checked the dimensional bags of the three people who died under his hands and found nothing of value.
The only item of some value is a necklace that has solidified the secondary stone skin spell and weak anti-acid properties. The shimmer-level magic item is only worth a dozen magic stone coins, which is better than nothing.
For Pei Ze now, magic items at the level of witchcraft are required to arouse his interest.
"It's a pity that there are only a few people with witchcraft weapons."
Pei Ze thought with some regret.
Not only are the conditions for using witchcraft weapons harsh, they are also extremely expensive. Even the elite children from wizard families only have witchcraft weapons.
Otherwise, he might still be able to gain something from this trial.
