Chapter 436 Chapter 439 Ending before it begins
The first hunting axe fell to the ground with a clang, and Dagon's limbs Landing, as if he had just come to the road of divine revelation. A mouthful of blood was spit out, but this time it did not land in the Yellow Sand Valley. Dagon saw the lush green grass, the bright flowers swaying near his cheeks, the fresh, moist and even a little greasy smell drilled into the nostrils along the cool air, a black and white spotted, red-winged butterfly flickered from Dagon's eyes fly over.

"Again?" Dagon blew a breath at the butterfly, watching it flap its wings quickly and slanted away, adjusting its breathing and mental state, grabbing the first hunting axe and slowly standing up. The valley of the skeleton statue was completely gone, and he was now surrounded by a huge forest, lush and green, full of life. And he was in front of a ruin in the forest.

The trees in the forest are not dense, and there is enough space for elephants to pass between the trees, which are currently occupied by various shrubs and flowers. The only thing that stands out from the vegetation is a gray ruin. The great hall built of stone has collapsed. The original tower is divided into several sections and lying on the ground. A stubborn crooked-neck tree grows from one of the broken towers.

If it weren't for the broken windows on the wreckage of the tower, the entire ruin would probably be seen as a grey creeping snake. There may have been bright moments here, but now the only "bright" thing left is a few shards of glass scattered among the grass. It was stained glass that had not yet been swallowed up by the forest, and as the sun swept across them occasionally from the gaps in the leaves, the flashes of memory struggled to catch Dagon's attention.

"Huh..." Dagon looked all around, but there was no one there. A fluffy gray rabbit twitched its ears, pointed its short tail at Dagon, and ran as fast as it could. Dagon was a little helpless. He really didn't have the idea of killing rabbits and stewing them just now. "I just blew a butterfly. What are you afraid of?"

"Because this place is full of danger, it has to protect itself."

A tool man walked out of the forest, and Dagon had no idea when it was there or how it appeared. This neutral humanoid with milky white skin and dark eyeshadow has an expression, except that its smile looks fake, or very contrived, completely staged. And compared with the tool man in the valley of the skeleton statue, he is smaller, only two meters tall, looks like a particularly tall human, without the previous oppression.

"You teleported me here?" Dagon adjusted his fingers slightly, gripping the headhunter a little tighter. These tool people are obviously part of the road of divine enlightenment, responsible for certain assessments and providing various functions, but whether they are enemies or friends, and whether they are used to push people forward or pull them back, I don't know. In his heart, Dagon felt that Ori did not do well enough to provide him with such important and obvious information.

"Some of my other individuals sent you here because you passed the test in the valley of bones." The tool man said: "This is another test, natural elimination, that is, you need to be here Survive. Take it easy, the test hasn't started yet, and neither I nor we are part of the test, don't hit me with an axe."

"Then can I consider you an examiner or part of the test room? "

"It's perfectly possible, because that is indeed our responsibility." The tool man continued to put on a stiff smile and said, "Before the test begins, according to the rules of the Way of Revelation, I want to ask you Some questions about the previous Valley of Bones. The better you answer, the more dive force and time you will get, and dive force and time represent success and end in every test."

"What if I don't answer your question?"

"Not answering is also an answer, and you won't gain anything." The tool man said: "What do you think the Valley of Bones has tested?"

p>

Dagon slightly frowned, organized the language, and said: "Spiritual God is to build his own statue, not to work for other Spiritual Gods. Each god should represent an independent concept, it can expand, but never Be subservient. Going the path of another Spiritual God will only give strength to that Spiritual God, not yourself. That's about it. Oh, and one more thing, you tools can deceive, you have to be careful."

"We never deceive, we only mislead - of course this sentence may be deceitful or misleading, and of course it may be true, but unfortunately unless you complete the path of divine revelation, you will No way to know." The tool man smiled and spread his hands - he was obviously more talkative than his counterparts in the Valley of Bones. "For example, we didn't cheat within the valley. The divine force and time they got are real, and they can go back and become gods if they get enough, but their power is limited, and they can only become slave gods, subordinate gods, and so on. Gods and quasi-gods can only exist by depending on other Spiritual Gods. But that doesn’t mean that you who pass that test will definitely become the main god. If you die here and are eliminated by the natural environment, then you are not as good as them.”

"Thank you for the reminder," Dagon said. "If you could tell me more about the natural elimination test, I would really appreciate it."

"I'll tell you everything I want to say. Say, because it takes time to evaluate the answer you just gave." The tool person pointed to the forest and said, "This is called the natural elimination forest, and some people call it Dark Forest, but the name is not critical. It is full of crises, you will Threats all the time.”

“The most common threat is survival. The resources in the forest are quite limited, you have to survive first, and all the creatures here can be a threat to you. Again, because With limited resources, everyone who is testing here will be your potential enemy. They are hiding, searching, and trying to launch a sneak attack on you. Stealing or robbing, everyone needs to find ways to get more resources while reducing exposure It's possible. Danger lurks on every side here, it's a test of your strength."

Dagon frowned, looking towards the surroundings again. It was very quiet in the forest, and there was no one in ambush at all, and even the small animals were hiding. The tool man noticed his expression and said with a smile: "The trial hasn't started yet, and your surroundings are safe. When you were teleported, you deliberately landed in such a Safety Sector, with a radius of ten miles. There will be no second trialist."

"Thank you for taking care." Dagon nodded.

"Don't believe what I say, it may be misleading." The tool man twitched the corner of his right eye, then put his hands together and rubbed them constantly. When you open it again, there will be an extra gold coin in your palm. He bowed slightly to Dagon and said: "The evaluation has come down. Taking into account the time you passed the test and the level of the answer, you have obtained 50,000 units of dive force and nine years and nine months. Congratulations, this is A very good grade."

"Then how far away from passing the test is this very good?"

"The division force unit is enough, and the time is still three months away. Don't worry, when you accumulate 50,000 dive force units and ten years later, you can go to the next trial immediately, or you can stay here and collect more dive force and time."

Dagon took over the divine mandate gold coin from the tool man, and then the number on it jumped, adding 5,000 divide force units and one year, apparently it merged with the previous divine mandate gold coin. The tool man looked at Dagon and was not surprised by this result - the way of enlightenment was able to assess Dagon's performance, so he obviously knew what he did.

"It's full, let's go to the next trial," Dagon said.

"Are you sure? It's very important to accumulate divide force and time, and they are also very important as resources in future trials. Although this forest is dangerous lurks on every side, it is also full of wisdom and opportunities , you can gain a lot as long as you have confidence in yourself."

Dagon shook his head and said, "Since the resources of this forest are limited, and it can force all trialists to target each other - even each other Murder - If I can't create resources, then I will save some resources for everyone. If I can not snatch, I will try not to snatch. I prefer production, and I hope more people have more resources, not Reduce the number of users."

"This is a kind move, but unfortunately lacks the combat capability."

It is the first time that the tool person has said some kind of evaluation, this information is very important. From the looks of it, the toolman is not satisfied with Dagon's choice, as if he wants to see more open strife and veiled struggle in the forest. But it is a tool man, obviously only as a tool. When Dagon confirms to leave to complete the trial, it can only accept.

"You just finished the teleportation. In order to protect your body and mind, the interval between consecutive teleportation cannot be less than five hours, so you still have four hours and forty minutes before the next teleportation." The tool man blinked Blinking, he said.

"What if the teleportation interval was closer?" Dagon asked.

"You will be injured, including irreversible dislocation of internal organs and trauma. You know very well that teleportation will cause you to vomit blood, which is the result of organ damage. The Path of Revelation takes time to repair your body , to make sure you can safely withstand the next teleportation."

"That is, you suggested that I wait here for more than four hours?"

The tool man nodded hard.

"You didn't guarantee my safety for more than four hours, did you? The Way of Divine Revelation didn't guarantee my safety, did you?" Dagon squinted at the tool man and said, "I have 55,000divine force units and ten years and nine months, it's a huge fortune for many people. If you don't kill me, I'll leave and lose my chance forever, so I'll be the target of all the people, right Isn't it?"

The tool man didn't answer, but it said that no answer is an answer in itself.

Dagon looked at the divinely ordered gold coin, his brain worked fast, and he came up with an idea. "You said that you wouldn't lie, but you may be misleading me, so I can't take your words all the truth - and I can't take all the falsehoods. At present, I can only be very sure that there is a divine force on the gold coin, and there are Time. Well that's it...I pay for a portion of the time so I can get through the time gap and safely wait until the next teleport - how much will it cost?"

"Four hours and thirty-seven minutes deducted Twenty-two..." The tool man said, "Deduct it?"

"Deduct it." Dagon nodded for a second.

The tool man extended the hand, the palm swept over the top of Dagon's head, and the time number on the divine gold coin was less. At this time, everything in the forest seemed to speed up, and the leaves were shaking like crazy. A rabbit ran past Dagon, faster than an arrow off the string, and even brought up an afterimage.

Dagon saw other trialists, and they lurked to prepare for sneak attack, but it seemed like they couldn't see Dagon. "You're smart," the tool said again, commenting on Dagon, "your smartness equals your vigilance, which is a very good quality. The five-hour retransmission interval is real, if you're just vigilant and ask for it If you teleport directly, you will be greatly damaged, which may cause you to never have the opportunity to complete all the trials."

"If you stay without any precautions, then I will most likely die. , right?"

Tool man nodded. "This forest has its own rules that you don't use, or that you need time to learn and use, and the attackers do. The most popular prey here is the newcomers who just arrived, and they all take the last test with them. I don’t know anything about the forest. Even though you made an excellent choice, I still feel sorry, because with your ability, you can get a lot here.”

Dagon did not Ignoring these words, he was concentrating on observing those dodging hunters. In a short period of time when he couldn't react at all, several waves of hunters had already fought each other, and the winner was decided "instantly". The living hunter took the divine gold coin from the dead, and immediately another tool man appeared. They should have said a few words, and in the brief blink of an eye from Dagon, they disappeared as a beam of light.

"That person had already waited long enough for the safe teleportation time, so he left as soon as he had a chance - it seems that I made the right choice." Dagon looked at the tool person who "served" for him, Said: "This forest is not suitable for people like me. Its essence is to plunder each other. Regardless of the preconditions, using 'limited resources' as an excuse is just an excuse for killing to me."

"You don't like fighting?"

"I don't like looting." Dagon noticed that the forest suddenly quieted down, no longer had the same acceleration effect as before, and knew that his four Hours have passed.

"You were isolated from normal time and completed the teleportation safety interval. Goodbye, Dagon Olison, I wish you all the best."

"Thank you." Dagon nods, Said, "Now your expression is more human and richer. I'll meet you again, won't I?"

"You won't meet me again, but you will meet tools Man, they won't mislead you any more - if you believe me."

"I'll try to believe it." Dagon blinked, hammered again by the overwhelming pressure.
