Douluo's coffin Douluo

Chapter 63 Death Map
Soto City, dead forest.

A dead tree shaped like a human face is waving its branches in the wind with teeth and claws. The whole body is dark black. Three tree holes of different sizes form a grimace like a ghost, which makes people shudder.

Beside the dead tree, a white-haired old man was sitting there. There was a long table in front of him, as well as pens and paper. A banner was erected next to it, with the seven big characters of the Hermit College Admissions Office crookedly written on it. Very simple.

With this posture, people who don't know will think that he is some kind of magic trickster.

But at a glance, there are quite a lot of people around him, most of them are young and handsome, and of course there are some parents who are struggling, asking all kinds of questions, bargaining, and the air is filled with the smell of the vegetable market.

"What, the registration fee is really [-] gold soul coins? It won't be refunded, it's too cheating."

"You can owe it with an IOU, but you can only owe fifty gold soul coins at most, and you should pay it off within five years."

"Old man, my child has level 26 strength, but he just passed his 17th birthday last month. Can you accommodate me..."

"No, the rules are already clear here, between the ages of twelve and sixteen, the rest are not accepted."

"No, Boss, with so many people here, the [-] places must have been gone long ago."

Li Yi flicked his hair. Before going out today, he specially cut a wild hairstyle, looking neat and handsome.

"Don't worry, I'll do it... Gretel has reserved five places for us, just listen to the assessment notice later."

Jiang Li looked at the crowded crowd, not daring to make too much publicity, and then followed the crowd to line up behind, and the others followed him.

Although there are many people, it can be seen that most of them are just joining in the fun, and there are very few people who can really participate in the registration.

Even Gretel said that his academy never advertises itself in a big way, the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and everything develops naturally.

Soon, it was Jiang Lie's turn. He looked at the white-haired old man in front of him and handed him a token.

This is the registration voucher that Gretel left for him before he left.

"This is……"

There was a bright light in the old man's eyes, he pondered over the token carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he carefully looked at the boy in front of him.

"Hey, old man, I have four companions here, and we want to take part in the assessment together."

"Of course, the dean has informed me of this matter in advance, but the process still needs to be followed, bone age, soul power test, and filling out the form."

"it is good."

Jiang Li stretched out his hand, and the old man pressed his wrist twice, nodded, and then took out a crystal ball and handed it to him.

Soul power test, level 29, the dazzling blue light instantly conquered the audience.

He trained in the Suotuo Great Soul Arena for a month, and his strength has obviously improved by one level.

"12 years old, level 29 soul power, not bad."

There was a sound of air-conditioning all around, and some young talents were even more stunned.

Most of them are fifteen or sixteen years old, but their strength is only about the same as Jiang Li's.

When Jiang Lie took out the token just now, they secretly ridiculed and whispered, thinking that it was a related household who went through the back door.

Well now, if they have the strength, they can go through the back door openly...

Afterwards, Jiang Li filled out the form and paid a registration fee of [-] gold soul coins, and the other four followed suit, all of them showing their tyrannical strength.

But what surprised Jiang Li was that He Xiang's strength had improved significantly. In just one month, she broke through to level 28.

And Ling Yin, shit, she's actually a year older than me, what about the agreed age?

Ling Yin met his gaze, and smiled embarrassedly, "That me, didn't want to lose everything to you, so I lied to you to be the same age as you..."

When it was Yuya's turn, the light of the crystal ball was even brighter.

"Close to 14 years old, strength level 31."

The old man was slightly surprised and said.

Hiss, everyone was struck by lightning again.

Jiang Li hit it with a fist, and said with a smile, "Not bad, it's quite deep."

"I'm kidding, compared to the big guys, I'm nothing." Yu Ya looked indifferent.

Soon, a hundred people gathered, almost all of them were geniuses, and they lined up in ten columns very neatly, waiting for the old man's orders.

The voice of the white-haired old man was vigorous and round, and every word sounded into everyone's ears very clearly.

"The old man is the admissions teacher of the college, Hu Daojiu, let me briefly talk about the assessment rules. The rules are simple, but the details are cumbersome. Listen carefully."

"First of all, what I want to say is that the Hermit Academy is located in the middle of the dead forest, and your task is to go through the dead forest and reach the academy successfully, even if you pass the examination."

Everyone's face turned pale. They never expected to pass through the dead forest. They heard that the spirit beasts inside...

"Requirements, if you meet during the assessment, you are not allowed to fight each other, but you can work together. Of course, that is also a matter in the middle and late stages of the assessment."

"You don't have to worry about whether you recognize the way or get lost. There are ten trails behind me. Each of you enters alone. You are not allowed to form a team, just go forward."

"Basically, after less than half the distance, the main road will appear, and you may meet each other. Only then can you form a team together."

"The assessment period is one and a half months, 45 days, so you have plenty of time."

"A month and a half?"

There was an explosion in the crowd. From what I heard, this dead forest is not so big, and if you stay in it for a month and a half, you will die!

Hu Daojiu directly ignored their shock and protest, and continued.

"As for food and lodging, don't worry. The soul beasts you meet on the road are enough for you to eat for a year. During this journey, there will also be three lodging hotels, where there are teachers in charge of the college."

"You are absolutely safe there, you don't have any problem staying as long as you want, of course, if you don't want to pass the assessment before the deadline."

"On the way, you may meet other adventurers, soul masters. Most of them are three or four people who go in to hunt soul beasts. They will not interfere with your assessment, but you can't use their power to pass the test. Assessment, violators are out."

"As for the death threat that everyone is most concerned about, I will distribute a beast repellent to everyone now. Within five hours after spraying it on your body, all spirit beasts will not actively approach you. You have enough time to escape."

The old man took out a small bottle of yellow potion and glanced at everyone.

"However, using this animal repellent means that you are not qualified to participate in the assessment, which means giving up. There is only one for each person. When you successfully arrive at the academy, if you show the animal repellent, you will pass the assessment."

"Also, each person has a bottle. You can't snatch other people's potions. During the assessment, there will be a large area of ​​surveillance by the dean, and irregular searches by the teachers of the college. If found, they will all be expelled from the assessment."

Everyone fell silent immediately, and the thought that had just arisen was dispelled in an instant.

"Okay, it's over, it's that simple, I'll drink my saliva first."

Hu Daojiu took a wooden cup and poured himself a big mouthful of water.

It's that simple?Everyone was speechless for a while.

They are already unable to complain, but fortunately, everyone is a genius, and they will remember it after listening to it once, but some parents are already confused.

Soon, everyone got a beast repellent, and then put it in the soul tool like a baby, after all, this is their pass certificate!
"I'll give you another simple map, so that some people will not get lost if they go straight ahead." Hu Daojiu sent everyone a map he drew himself.

Jiang Li took it over and looked at it, his face was speechless, there were some stones, rivers and the like, except for the three hotels on the way, the other places didn't even have a name of the place, how cruel.

It can be seen that at the beginning, everyone was allowed to act alone, all kinds of forked paths, and then some big roads began to appear in the middle.

"Didn't he say that we can work together as a team? How about we gather here?"

Jiang Li pointed to a broad avenue in the middle of the map, and estimated that it would be at least ten days before he arrived there.

"it is good."

Everyone nodded their heads in a daze.

"You can go in now, in batches, each person has his own way, and the early stage of the assessment is to act alone, and the test is your personal combat ability."

Hu Daojiu put down the water glass and gave way to the ten paths behind him, "Enter in batches, come in the first row."

"Uh, old man Jiu, what about the auxiliary soul masters? Do we have to fight soul beasts by ourselves?"

Li Yi tremblingly raised his little hand.

The crowd was taken aback for a moment, and then echoed.

"I forgot about this. The auxiliary system soul masters have a special path set up by the headmaster. There are fewer soul beasts and less danger. You can form a team with two people in the early stage."

He pointed to a weird path on the other side, looking extremely gloomy.

"Huh, that's great, then, He Xiang, we can form a team together."

Li Yi said with a smile.

"Ah."

He Xiang nodded very calmly, as if she had no objection even if she formed a personal team.

Soon, within an hour, everyone entered the dead forest in batches, because except for the auxiliary system soul masters, each of them acted alone, so they looked extremely cautious.

After all, the [-]% death assessment pass rate is no joke.

Jiang Li took a deep breath, and then stepped onto a path in the underworld with big strides. As soon as he entered, an electronic sound rang in his ears, which startled him.

"Ding, it is detected that the host has stepped into the dead forest on the A-level map. Please prepare for the second-level battle. The system emergency mechanism has been activated. There are spirit beasts appearing 500 meters ahead. Slow down."

"Depend on……"

Jiang Lie's scalp was numb, and he stepped into the dead forest with his beating heart.

The dead forest looked gloomy, as if it was shrouded in a dark shadow, and even the sun's rays could not penetrate the darkness here.

There are dead trees with teeth and claws all around, as if they will reach out and grab them at any time.

Jiang Li walked for a while without finding any danger. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a strong wind suddenly blew past, and a series of piercing laughter rang out, penetrating into his eardrums everywhere.

"Hahahahahaha!"

The non-human voice seemed to come from the underworld, weird and frightening.
