The elder sitting in the middle of the chair was the one who had spoken to them yesterday. He cleared his throat, stood up and said, "The fact that everyone was able to find this place is sufficient proof of your martial arts skills and talents. We, the ancestors, have come here to protect the clan's treasure trove with our last wishes.
After a pause, the elder's eyes swept across the crowd. "You now represent the three great forces: Feng Lai Kingdom, Great Chu Kingdom, and Worryfree Hall. Then I would like to invite you to sign a Life and Death Certificate. The competition is exceptionally dangerous, and the slightest carelessness or carelessness could lead to your death on the spot. After signing the document, you will have no relation to my Murong Dynasty. "
Immediately, an elder brought a few life and death documents into each of their hands.
Feng Yi didn't even look as he waved his hand and signed his name.
Chu Yunge glanced at Feng Yi with a little difficulty, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Xiao Ge, are you worried about me?" Feng Yi felt a sweetness in his heart, and asked happily.
Chu Yunge flicked his finger heavily on his forehead, and it made a loud and clear sound as it entered the ears of everyone in the hall.
"You stinky beauty!" I just want you to sign it. I don't know how to write calligraphy! " Chu Yunge's face was slightly red. In her previous life, she used to write with a pen and a ballpoint pen, who would use such a thing?
After transmigrating to the Great Chu, she had tried to practice writing with a brush, but the things she had written were a bunch of lines of varying thickness. The Imperial Tutor was so infuriated that he almost vomited blood. In the end, she gave up on her useless skill, but she didn't expect to use it here.
Feng Yi looked at all the clan elders, and seeing that none of the elders were against him, he picked up his pen and signed his name, Chu Yunge.
The Elder took the Life and Death Scripture from the crowd and glanced at the instruments on the side. He then said with a deep voice, "Since you have decided to disregard your own life and death, please follow me and begin the first round."
The few of them followed behind the elder, passing through the hall and arriving at a patio at the back of the hall.
The four sides of the roof explained the tightly shut doors and windows, but he didn't know what was going on inside.
After standing still, the elder said in a loud and clear voice, "This is the first stage of the competition. All of you enter your rooms and inside is a purple gold bell. As long as you give me the bell within an incense's worth of time, I will consider passing."
"Isn't that simple? These rooms are only about ten Zhang in radius, wouldn't we be able to find a bell and settle it in minutes? " Chu Yunge said to Feng Yi in a low voice, "I'll be going first."
Chu Yunge indicated that they could begin, with a flick of an elder's finger, the incense in the incense burner immediately lit up.
Chu Yunge walked to the room's door on the left side. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath, decisively pushed open the door, and walked in.
The door to the room slammed shut the moment Chu Yunge entered, and the people outside could no longer see what was happening inside.
Feng Yi's heart was in his throat as he closed the door. He knew that this competition was definitely not as simple as it seemed, why else would he sign the Life and Death Certificate?
Ling Yuan walked into a room on the right after the incense was lit up.
After entering the room, Ling Yuan found out that it was not like what was seen from the outside. It was a airtight stone room, only that there was a wooden "outer shell" built inside.
There were a few oil lamps hanging on the walls of the stone room. The entire room seemed to be flickering with light, which added to the eerie atmosphere.
Ling Yuan was on high alert, carefully observing his surroundings.
The stone room was around 300 feet wide, and it was completely empty without any furniture or other superfluous objects. With just a glance, one could tell that there were no purple gold bells as the elders had said.
While he was still in shock, he heard the sound of a machine opening. A wall slowly rose up!
So there was a mechanism here! Ling Yuan suddenly smelled a fishy stench coming from behind him. Accompanied by a furious roar, a black shadow pounced out from behind the wall!
Ling Yuan retreated back and stood with one palm in front of his chest, ready to take a hit from his opponent at any time.
However, the black shadow did not attack immediately. Instead, it remained where it was, motionless.
Borrowing the light from the fire, Ling Yuan finally saw clearly the black shadow in front of him. He was definitely over ten feet tall, had two palms the size of a fan, and his entire body was covered with long hair. His two eyes were as big as bells, his mouth was extended forward, and he was baring his fangs as he glared at Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan had never seen such a monster before, it was just a primordial beast, and he could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
If he could see Chu Yunge now, she would tell him that this was just a baboon that had always been in Africa.
The baboon had been kept in the Murong Dynasty palace ever since it was young. This kind of animal was a human-like creature, and was extremely intelligent. This was originally a tribute from the Western Regions, but it was brought here with the Imperial clan.
The frightened Ling Yuan quickly calmed down. He found out that the purple-gold bell, which was used for the competition, was on the baboon's neck.
If he wanted to obtain the purple gold bell, he had to defeat the monster in front of him!
Ling Yuan turned his palms over and slapped the baboon. He had originally thought that even if this vicious beast gentleman was fierce and ferocious, he would still only be a beast. To harm someone by biting them with brute force, as long as he used his movement technique and his palm technique, defeating a vicious beast would not be a problem.
However, just as he was about to land his palm on the baboon, there was a flash, and the baboon disappeared. Ling Yuan was shocked.
"This Vicious Beast..." You actually know martial arts? "
Ling Yuan instinctively tiptoed and flipped over two meters forward. Just as he landed, the baboon appeared behind him and chopped towards him with its palm.
The wind from his palm howled as a powerful force spread out in all directions. The Ling Yuan complained in his heart, the baboon's power was actually not any weaker than his!
After Chu Yunge entered the room, she looked at the four walls. Very quickly, she encountered a scene similar to that of a Ling Yuan.
She immediately recognized it as a baboon, but she had not expected to see it in this era.
"Hello, my name is Chu Yunge. I think we should be friends?" Chu Yunge smiled, extended her right hand, and slowly took two steps forward.
The baboon tilted its head and looked at Chu Yunge, its eyes filled with doubt, but it quickly understood what Chu Yunge meant.
Chu Yunge, who came from the modern world, naturally knew that baboons were the species that was closest to humans. They had emotions and intelligence.
Naturally, she also saw the purple gold bell around the baboon's neck. Looks like I have to get on good terms with it.
Chu Yunge suddenly sat cross legged on the ground, with a friendly smile still on her face. The baboon blinked its large eyes, looking at the human in front of it with a puzzled expression.
This baboon had been kept by humans for many years and was not afraid of humans. And very affectionate and dependent on the man who raised him. The human was not familiar with her smell, but there was no malice on his face.
Chu Yunge stretched out her hand and patted the ground beside him, then smiled lightly and looked at the baboon.
The baboon hesitated for a moment, then sat down beside Chu Yunge.
When she saw the baboon sitting down, she smiled even more brightly, because when she was patting the ground, she had hidden in her hand his special poison — the ticklish powder.
Soon, the baboon felt an itch on its butt and began scratching with its big hands.
Chu Yunge smiled and reached out her hand to the baboon. The baboon looked at her warily, and realized that she was very gentle, and did not seem like she wanted to fight with him. It then relaxed and moved its body towards her.
This time, Chu Yunge's hand touched the baboon's body, making it feel itchy for him.
Because the baboon was huge, the same powder was not as effective on it as humans.
Therefore, the degree of itchiness it felt was far from the level Hei Yan had when he came that day.
However, it still narrowed its eyes and enjoyed Chu Yunge's service.
Chu Yunge scratched its back for a while and then started to move her hands slowly upwards. This was because her hands were still covered with the powder of the itch powder, and wherever she scratched, it would start to itch.
The more itchy it was, the more it wanted to scratch, the more itchy it got. Whether it was baboons or humans, this was an unbreakable truth.
Slowly, Chu Yunge's hand moved to the baboon's bulging neck and grabbed onto the purple gold bell.
Only then did she realize that the purplish-gold bell looked very much like a modern necklace, and that it had been worn using the principle of a screw. If he were to use brute force to tear it apart, the bell might be destroyed.
Chu Yunge gently twisted the handle of the bell, and very quickly, the connection between the bell and the bell separated, the bell smoothly changing hands with Chu Yunge. She changed her hand and continued to tickle the baboon.
Without question, the baboon's metabolism was much faster than humans'. Soon, the baboon's body stopped itching. It turned around and looked at Chu Yunge, its large eyes filled with gratitude.
Chu Yunge could not help but feel ashamed. An animal's heart was the purest, there was no fraud or scheme, as long as you treat it well, it would unconditionally believe in you.
The baboon stood up, turned, and walked to the edge of the wall to stand. The stone slab beneath its feet suddenly sank about two inches, and then there was the sound of a machine, and the wall rose up again, and the baboon turned and walked in. Before entering, it actually waved its hand towards Chu Yunge, probably saying goodbye to her.
Chu Yunge looked at the slowly descending wall, then looked down at the purple gold bell in her hand, and sighed.
Just as a third of the incense was burnt out, Chu Yunge walked out of the room with the purple gold bell in her hand.
The elders took the bell from Chu Yunge's hands, and after carefully inspecting it, they said to Chu Yunge: "Imperial Protector Princess is the first one to pass this match. Now, you can go rest at the side."
Chu Yunge nodded, sat on the chair by the side and began thinking.
Feng Yi walked out of the room after the incense burnt two-thirds of its time. His clothes seemed to have been drenched in water, the bottom part of his body was also torn, and there were still some sweat stains on his forehead.
Only after handing the purple gold bell over to the elders did Feng Yi realize that Chu Yunge was already sitting at the side with not the slightest hint of a struggle on her body. She couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Xiao Ge, why are you so fast?"
