Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 420: The Dagger That Cuts Through Iron Like Mud

"The countdown starts now."

"rustle……"

The sound of the hourglass came, slow and rhythmic.

Liu Qingsong didn't know whether to laugh or cry when listening to the old voice. At this moment, he really suspected that he was dreaming.

After all, he would never have thought that bringing Shi Hao to the ruined palace would actually lead him into the so-called trial site of the Spirit Hall.

If nothing unexpected happens, this Spirit Hall trial site should come from some fantasy novel world.

Because of some special reasons, it was teleported here as garbage from the garbage dump of all worlds.

But these are not the point now. The point is that it is impossible for him to spend ten years to explore the so-called trial land.

After such a long time, his family must be worried to death.

But the problem now is that he has not succeeded in getting out of the trial ground, and he seems unable to leave this strange place.

After all, so many skeletons in the tomb are a lesson for us, and they must have been left behind by losers.

In other words, there is only one way before him now, and that is to go to the trial ground even if he doesn't want to.

With no other options, Liu Qingsong had to take out the broken sword and the beautiful shield from his space backpack, and then quickly walked into the gate of the trial site.

After sensing something was wrong, the chain quickly crawled out of the space backpack, then wrapped itself around Liu Qingsong's arm and looked around vigilantly.

Wow! The next second they appeared on an ancient battlefield.

The ancient battlefield was filled with smoke and many soldiers were fighting.

One of them is an orc and the other is a normal human.

Because humans are much weaker than orcs, the battle is being lost in a one-sided manner.

When the defeated human side was retreating, Liu Qingsong quickly used the function of the invisibility cloak to become invisible in order to avoid being involved in the war.

But strangely, the orc warriors could see him. After a brief silence, they threw their axes and spears at him.

Liu Qingsong was shocked and quickly raised his shield to block the attack, then leaped in front of several orcs who were rushing towards him and killed them directly.

The chain didn't even look at it, it crawled down from Liu Qingsong to the ground, then split into two, two into four, four into eight, and started to attack, no! Started to slaughter these orcs.

Liu Qingsong did not pursue the victory because he found that the strength of these orcs was pitifully weak in front of him and he had no interest in chasing them.

After more than half of the orcs were killed or wounded, they finally retreated and fled into a cave in the southeast and disappeared.

Liu Qingsong originally wanted to go into the cave to take a look, but he soon changed his mind because there was a tall tower rising into the clouds in the southwest.

The words "Tower of Trials" were written on the entrance to the first floor of the tower.

In other words, this trial tower might be the trial site of the Spirit Hall.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingsong walked over quickly with the chains.

The strange thing is that the tower is right in front of us, but after crossing a river and climbing a mountain, we still haven’t reached the gate of the tower.

This made Liu Qingsong alert. He was about to find a high place to check the situation around him when he heard two old men arguing in a pavilion in front of him.

Liu Qingsong looked up and saw that the two old men had white hair and beards and looked like immortals. The reason for their quarrel was that neither of them was willing to give in while playing chess on the board.

Out of curiosity, Liu Qingsong put away the chain and walked quickly towards the pavilion.

He walked closer, greeted the two old men, and started watching the chess game from the side.

After watching for about ten minutes, Liu Qingsong lost interest.

It was not because he was afraid of wasting time, but because he found that the two old men's chess skills were not very good at all.

Just as they were about to leave, one of the skinny old men suddenly admitted defeat and looked up at Liu Qingsong: "Young man, can you play chess?"

"A little bit." Liu Qingsong replied.

"Then you come down." The skinny old man quickly made way.

"No..." Liu Qingsong wanted to refuse, but the skinny old man pulled him to sit down, and then he disappeared the next second.

Liu Qingsong was very surprised. Just when he was about to ask where the skinny old man with long eyebrows was, he heard an old and strong voice: "The first level of the Spirit Hall trial has begun. You can pass it by defeating the chess master on the opposite side."

"No way? Is playing chess also a test?" Liu Qingsong had a headache. With no other options, he had to calm down and play chess with the long-browed old man opposite him.

Soon, Liu Qingsong discovered something was wrong.

The long-browed old man opposite, the one mentioned in the old voice, had very poor chess skills when playing against the skinny old man, but was very good when playing against him.

It only takes fifty steps.

He lost both of his cars.

What does this prove? It proves that the chess master is playing the role of a pig to eat the tiger in order to trick him!
In order to avoid losing in the first level of the trial, Liu Qingsong started thinking about the corresponding solutions.

Seeing that the old man with long eyebrows didn't even look at him and only had eyes for the chess game, Liu Qingsong hesitated for a moment, then took out his mobile phone from his space backpack, opened the chess game, and copied the game with the old man with long eyebrows.

This copy.

Liu Qingsong felt much more relaxed.

Because he knows what to do next without even having to think.

Seeing that the old man with long eyebrows didn't even look at him, and the old voice didn't remind him that he was breaking the rules, Liu Qingsong smiled and started playing chess with the old man with long eyebrows at ease.

This cannot be blamed on him for using plug-ins. If you have to blame someone, you can only blame the fact that this is the BOFF of the trial ground, and there is no rule prohibiting the use of mobile phones.

With the addition of mobile phones, the situation of this game was quickly turned around, and the old man with long eyebrows was successfully killed.

The old man with long eyebrows looked at the old general who was about to be killed. After being stunned for a long time, he stroked his eyebrows and smiled with relief. Then he and the pavilion and the chessboard all disappeared.

"Congratulations on passing the first level of the Martial God Temple." An old and strong voice sounded: "Please go to the Trial Tower to pass the second level."

Liu Qingsong looked up at the Trial Tower.

Only then did he realize that the gate to the Trial Tower was right in front of him.

In order to leave early, Liu Qingsong walked in quickly after becoming invisible.

The first floor of the Trial Tower was empty and dark, with many bones piled on the ground.

But strangely, there were no monsters and no hints about the trial.

This made Liu Qingsong confused. After taking a look at the surrounding situation, he walked towards the entrance to the second floor of the trial tower.

When he reached the second floor, an old and powerful voice sounded, congratulating him on passing the first level of the Trial Tower.

"No, the first level is so easy?" Liu Qingsong was puzzled and surprised at the same time.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, but looked cautiously at the second floor of the Trial Tower.

The second level is a maze, and there are many skeletons on the ground.

After Liu Qingsong entered, he still did not suffer any attacks, and no monsters appeared.

This made Liu Qingsong alert and he quickly sped up his pace in the maze.

He thought this maze would trap him for hours, or even days.

But surprisingly, in less than five minutes, he walked out of the maze and came to the entrance to the third floor of the Trial Tower.

This time he did not rush to enter the third floor, but took a piece of armor inlaid with dozens of gems from the skeleton on the ground and put it into his space backpack.

Seeing a dagger emitting a cold glow on the ground not far away, he walked over and picked it up.

The material of this dagger is obviously not simple. The other weapons scattered on the ground are either rusted or broken, but this dagger is not only not rusted, but also incredibly sharp.

Liu Qingsong picked up a rusty axe and then cut it with a dagger. To his surprise, the heavy axe was actually cut into two pieces.

On the other hand, the edge of the dagger was completely fine.

What does this prove? It proves that this dagger is capable of cutting through iron like mud. It is not easy at all.

But Liu Qingsong did not use the divine identification artifact to identify the dagger at the first time. Instead, he put it into the space backpack and then walked into the third floor entrance of the trial tower.

Wow! As soon as I walked in, an endless desert appeared in front of me.

The yellow sand is flying in the desert, making it impossible to open your eyes.

Liu Qingsong wanted to take out the protective mask from his space backpack and put it on, but the next second, an old and strong voice came, reminding him that he had passed the second level of the Trial Tower. At the same time, it also told Liu Qingsong that as long as he stayed in the third level of the Trial Tower for three days, he would be able to pass it smoothly.

Staying in the Tower of Trial for three days might be as difficult as climbing to heaven for others, but it was not too easy for Liu Qingsong.

Because in addition to food and water, his space backpack also contained several tents.

Seeing that he was a little hungry after walking all the way, Liu Qingsong carefully looked around and took out the tent from his space backpack and set up camp on the spot. In order to prevent it from being blown away by the wind, Liu Qingsong specially let the chain wrap around the tent and then rooted it deeply into the ground.

After doing all this, Liu Qingsong went into the tent, took out beef jerky and water and started eating and drinking.

After eating and drinking, Liu Qingsong fell asleep on the mat.

I had a very comfortable sleep. When I woke up, the strong wind outside had stopped and it was so quiet that it was a little scary.

Liu Qingsong crawled out of the tent to take a look, and seeing that he was still in the desert, he immediately folded up the tent and walked towards a Gobi desert in front of him with the chain.

As we got closer, we realized that this desert was the entrance to the fourth floor of the Trial Tower.

At the entrance, bones can be seen everywhere, and many unknown creatures are hiding in the dark, watching eagerly.

Liu Qingsong ignored these creatures and quickly walked into the entrance to the fourth floor of the Trial Tower.

What Liu Qingsong didn't expect was that there was a round bronze door at the entrance to the fourth floor.

The door was tightly closed, with a line of small words on it saying that anyone with a punch strength of over ten thousand pounds could enter.

Liu Qingsong didn't know how much force this punch had, but he knew that when he punched with all his strength, it had reached a force of a thousand pounds.

So he didn't think much about it at the moment, but punched directly on the bronze door.

What he didn't expect was that the bronze door only shook slightly and then there was no movement.

What does this prove? It proves that his strength of a thousand pounds does not even reach the standard of a punching force of ten thousand pounds.

This made Liu Qingsong somewhat amused and helpless. After thinking about it, he took out his boxing gloves and put them on his hands, then used all his strength to hit the bronze door.

This time the heavy bronze door shattered, revealing a long and narrow corridor inside.

The corridors were filled with various mechanisms on both sides, some of which were coated with poison and emitted green light under the candlelight.

Liu Qingsong took a look at the mechanisms, put away his gloves, picked up the chain wrapped around his arm and threw it into the corridor.

Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh! Countless arrows shot out from the mechanisms, and some of the mechanisms released poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, which all pounced on the chains and began to bite them.

But unfortunately, biting it again won't be of much use.

The chain split into two, then into four, and used the clones to return directly to Liu Qingsong.

The poisonous insects and ferocious beasts lost their target. After wandering around in the same place for dozens of seconds, they turned into quicksand and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong took out his American shield and broken knife and rushed directly into the corridor.

Seeing that no more arrows were shot out from the mechanism and no more poisonous insects and ferocious beasts appeared, he hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the fifth floor as fast as he could.

……

The entrance to the fifth floor is a bit strange.

Not only was it blocked by huge and heavy stones, but there were no clues either.

This made Liu Qingsong puzzled. Just as he was about to move a stone to check the situation, the chain crawled towards a hole in the stone wall.

The hole was pitch black. In order to see what was inside, Liu Qingsong even took out a military flashlight from his space backpack and shone it inside.

After seeing that it was filled with various gear structures and led all the way to the top of the Trial Tower, he quickly crawled into the hole and then used the chain to quickly climb to the top.

I don’t know how long I climbed or how high I climbed.

Just when he was about to give up, Liu Qingsong finally saw the end of the top with the help of a military flashlight.

Although there is also a gear at the end, there is a small gap on the upper right side.

Climbing through the small gap, Liu Qingsong soon arrived at the entrance of a passage.

There were many windows on both sides of the passage. Liu Qingsong looked out through the window and was surprised to see white clouds all around him and the ground could not be seen at all.

This is not the point. The point is that at the end of the passage is a big door with the words "99th Floor of Trial Tower" written in large letters on the door.

Liu Qingsong walked over quickly.

Looking inside the gate, the 99th floor was extremely empty and there was no end in sight.

Countless bookshelves and stone tables are filled with various martial arts techniques and secret manuals on magical powers.

These martial arts techniques and secret manuals were covered with dust because no one had taken care of them for a long time. Some bookshelves were even buried in the dust.

Seeing that there was no danger inside, Liu Qingsong walked in carefully with the chain on.

Just as he reached out to grab a book of magical secrets, whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! the oil lamps on the surrounding stone walls suddenly lit up, and the oil lamps on the lampstand above his head also lit up one after another.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong raised the American shield in his hand vigilantly, but to his surprise, there was no movement after the oil lamp was turned on.

This left Liu Qingsong puzzled. After checking the surrounding environment, he walked towards a stone platform.

This stone platform stands at the center of the 99th floor and is the highest point of the 99th floor. There are circular stairs around it, allowing people to go up directly.

And in the very center of the stone platform, there is a transparent crystal coffin.

There was a beautiful woman lying in the coffin.

The woman was dead, without any life.

But her facial skin is the same as that of a normal person, and you can even see a rosy red color.

Liu Qingsong was shocked when he saw this scene. In order to prevent any accidents, he quickly became invisible.

But the next second he realized that invisibility was useless, and before he could react, he was enveloped and bound by the white light emitted by the crystal coffin.

This white light seemed to have some special ability, which made Liu Qingsong move, and it was also rapidly absorbing Liu Qingsong's blood.

This shocked Liu Qingsong. Just as he was trying to find a way to break free from the white light, the beautiful woman in the crystal coffin suddenly opened her eyes and slowly floated up.

After seeing the bound Liu Qingsong, her eyes were filled with excitement: "I have waited for a million years, and finally I have waited for a genius who can pass the 99th floor of the Spirit Hall Trial Ground!"

"I... can finally leave this damn place!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the white light that bound Liu Qingsong disappeared.

But even so, Liu Qingsong felt weak all over, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

The beautiful woman took a few steps and looked at Liu Qingsong: "Where are you from?"

"Earth." Liu Qingsong replied.

"But are they from the Lanxue Sect?" the beautiful woman asked again.

"No, I don't belong to any sect." Seeing that the beautiful woman had no ill will towards him, Liu Qingsong put away his beautiful shield and broken knife.

Of course, the most important point is that the strength of this beautiful woman is unfathomable, and he is simply no match for her. So in this case, it is better to put away the weapon.

"It's fine as long as it doesn't belong to any sect." The beautiful woman breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes softened as she looked at Liu Qingsong: "Do you know where this place is?"

"Didn't you just say that? This is the 99th floor of the Spirit Hall's trial ground." Liu Qingsong replied.

"Yes, this is the 99th floor of the Spirit Hall Trial Grounds. For millions of years, you are the only one who has made it here." The beautiful woman spoke slowly, with a sense of vicissitudes and loneliness in her words: "And I have been waiting for my destined person in this Trial Tower for millions of years for a promise."

"Now that you, my destined person, have appeared, it's time for me to leave."

"Wait, where are you going? And...how do I get out?" Liu Qingsong asked repeatedly.

"I'm leaving to find my husband and family. As for how you're going to get out, the entire Spirit Hall and Trial Tower are yours. Why are you still asking me how to get out?" The beautiful woman shook her head in amusement, "Young man, make good use of the Spirit Hall and Trial Tower to benefit the people. We'll meet again if we're destined to."

Done.

The beautiful woman stepped into the void and disappeared.

Liu Qingsong stood there in a daze, then smiled bitterly.

If he had not been reborn, owned the garbage dump of all worlds, and had not experienced too many incredible things, he would probably not believe what the beautiful woman said at this moment.

Seeing that the crystal coffin on the stone platform had also disappeared, but a floating crystal ball had appeared, he quickly came to his senses and walked over.

Before he got close, the crystal ball released a soft colorful light that enveloped Liu Qingsong.

This light complements the blue light emitted by the Imperial Water Pearl and then merges with it.

"What's going on?" Liu Qingsong was shocked and was about to move away from the crystal ball, but the crystal ball was completely merged into the Imperial Water Bead, then flew into his forehead and disappeared.

With a loud bang, Liu Qingsong's sea of ​​consciousness exploded the next second, and then a large number of unfamiliar memories emerged.

Liu Qingsong couldn't bear the pain. He held his head, staggered twice, and then fainted.
