I only have passive skills, so I'm extremely cautious

The endless virgin forests are covered with white snow, and the rolling mountains and fields are desolate and desolate.

In the distance, shrouded in clouds and mist, the top of a towering snow-capped mountain loomed between the two mountains.

The hillside on the sunny side seems to be coated with a layer of gold foil, reflecting the dazzling sunlight. There are many spiritual animals used as livestock eating spiritual grass.

The mountainside is covered with lush coniferous forests, which extend downward, and occasionally palm-sized birds can be seen flapping their ridged wings.

At the foot of the mountain is a withered grass wilderness with sparse white snow. Between the wilderness, a road runs across it, and an iron sign stands alone on the roadside.

"The national boundaries of the Red Flame Empire and the Divine Religion Empire"

It says so.

Chen Zhong was fascinated by this scene for a moment.

After seeing various scenery, Chen Zhong still likes the desolate snowfield the most, which is ancient and silent, lonely and atmospheric, sacred and poignant.

"Set off!"

After the team was assembled, Chen Zhong followed silently behind, his thoughts drifting back, it was time to face the things in front of him.

At the foot of a snow-capped mountain, at the end of the road, there was a huge blue-purple circular formation, about ten meters above the ground, like a slowly rotating black hole.

Surrounding the black hole is the Beixuan Labyrinth Town, with scattered wooden houses and buildings. At least nearly ten thousand people are active inside, and the noisy cries and fighting sounds are endless.

When entering the town, Chen Zhong found that there were many open iron shacks on both sides, with spiritual beasts that looked like big wolves locked inside.

It is the size of a male lion, with long blue and white fur. There are four blue eyes on its handsome head, which turn vigilantly.

"These are Blizzard Wolfhounds, a kind of spiritual beast that is relatively easy to tame. You must take these cute little guys with you when you go deep into the boundless snowfield. Once you encounter an ice storm, whether you can get out alive depends on them."

Seeing that all the students were particularly interested, the brown-haired old man guarding the shack introduced him enthusiastically.

He is not stupid, these are young masters from the imperial capital of the Chiyan Empire. Judging by their dress, temperament and strength, they are all either rich or noble.

Wouldn't it be great if they rewarded themselves with some benefits when they were happy?

"What are you doing there?" The major general who had already walked to the front turned around and said, "Dean Yang Fu has been waiting for a long time!"

Hearing that a master-level master was following him, Chen Zhong felt a little relieved. There was a big boss in charge. At least there would be no random fish here deliberately looking for trouble, which meant that there would be less trouble.

The group of people marched in the small town, attracting a lot of attention. There was a mixture of fish and dragons here, and many people who had committed crimes ran here to hide.

When they saw that the leader was a major general, they all took a few steps back without fear. The generals of the Chiyan Empire were not easy to mess with. They were either old foxes who were strategizing, or they were powerful spiritual martial arts masters who were in charge of their own affairs.

This is indeed the case. This major general in his thirties is a strong man in the early stage of Soul Tempering Realm. He is quite prestigious in the imperial army and has a bright future.

"I told you, I have a very good drinking capacity! Don't help me, I can... can walk on my own!"

At this time, several drunkards carrying guns and knives walked out of the alley. The most chattering man among them stumbled into the middle of the street.

He just happened to collide with Chen Zhong on his tail.

"Stinky... stinky boy, how dare you bump into me?"

The man let out a wine belch and made a loud noise.

The whole team stopped. For a moment, everyone on the street was in danger. The vendors retreated and put up their shields to watch.

Several other drunk men immediately sobered up. Especially after discovering that most of these young people were in their early adult years, they quickly grabbed the man and apologized profusely.

"Uncle, be careful when you walk." Chen Zhong showed a kind smile.

The drunk man trembled, "Hey, hey, sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry!"

Chen Zhong waved his hand and kept smiling, "It's okay, it's okay. Go back quickly. Don't catch a cold when it's cold outside."

"Let's go..." Seeing that Chen Zhong didn't want to care about it, several people fled in a hurry.

The team headed back towards the maze portal not far away.

Walking behind, Chen Zhong quietly took out a tracker hanging on the corner of his clothes and whispered to Yuan Wucha, "Be careful, someone is targeting us."

Yuan Wucha was stunned, "This? Is this the person just now?"

"Yes, and no, that person is just an errand boy who gets paid to do things, and he is not targeting me, but all of us," Chen Zhong's brain was running rapidly, "Since we got off the airship, someone has been observing in the dark. The one we are dealing with against the Red Flame Empire is probably the Divine Religion Empire, and this second round of competition will not be easy.”

"This?" Yuan Wucha frowned, a little angry.

Chen Zhong curled his lips, "However, the empire must have considered this. It is probably to increase the difficulty of the game, or there are other deeper purposes. Just pay more attention."

After a few drunkards left, they happily ran to a wooden house on the edge of the town.

"Sir, I've done what you asked. The tracker is installed!" The drunk man from before was still a little tipsy. He rubbed his hands and hinted to the man opposite to pay him.

They are all desperadoes who lick blood at the tip of their swords. For the sake of money, what will they not dare to do?

For them, life is for enjoyment!

The man in a black cloak took out a black cloth bag containing more than a dozen spiritual stones.

The next second...boom!

The horrific explosion overturned the entire wooden house. Under the impact of the spiritual energy wave, no one in the house survived. After a few blinks, pieces of flesh and blood rained down from the sky.

Everyone around was dumbfounded and fled here in fear.

The members of the Divine Religion Empire hiding in the dark also fell into a daze, realizing that they had been plotted against by a student.

Chen Zhong yawned in the distance and showed a kind smile again.

The Exploding Talisman is really comfortable to use, simple and direct, and the effect is immediate.

Under the Legend Gate, among the layers of imperial troops, a spy whispered a few words into Yang Fu's ear, then merged with the crowd and hid in the town.

"This Chen Zhong is quite interesting. He is very good at playing with magic talismans." Yang Fu shook his head and chuckled to himself.

Choosing to compete here is not just a whim. The empire has some actions that need to be carried out, so it is just a cover up with the competition.

If you have the opportunity, you might as well let these monsters participate in the imperial battle, see the big scene, and win over them in advance.

"Dean." Yu Qixuan greeted.

"Well, are everyone here?" Yang Fu said calmly, the Imperial Master was very impressive.

The major general turned around and counted the number of people. "A total of fifty-one people are in place."

Yang Fu nodded, "I will announce the competition rules and precautions next. I hope you will keep them in mind."

"The rules are very simple, that is, kill monsters. Whoever kills more, the higher the level of the kill, the higher the score. Finally, the scores are summarized into the respective colleges, and the colleges are ranked. The person with the highest personal score will also be ranked. Prizes will be awarded to the top three.”

"The entire competition lasts for five days. If you come out early, you will voluntarily withdraw from the competition. I would like to remind everyone, be careful of people from the God's Religion Empire and don't give up your trust easily!"

"Now come and collect the scorer. This thing is activated when you enter the maze. It has no other functions except intelligent statistics of slain monsters. You don't need to worry about exposing your privacy or recording."

"Gather here in five days. Anyone who exceeds the time will be deemed to be disqualified, but don't worry, we will send someone to pick you up."

Chen Zhong got the scorer, which was a metal bracelet with the number "0" displayed on it.

Just as he was about to go in, the ground suddenly shook.

"It's the Snow Beast Beast Tide!"

"How could these beasts run towards us for no reason?"

Yang Fu looked like he knew everything, and he jumped up and hung in the air.

You have to scare those little ones, otherwise they always think they can use these little tricks to scare them away.

Yang Fu has a title in the Grandmaster realm circle - Imperial Weapon Behemoth.

When he was young, he participated in a miserable fight in the Demon's Cave. That battle took away both his arms, his entire right leg, his left calf, half his chest, and his entire chin!

He almost became a human being, but Yang Fu created a miracle of life with his will. He was rescued for five days and five nights while holding on to his breath.

Although he managed to survive, he spent three years in the hospital before starting his life again.

Most of the truly strong people are extraordinary. They have become what they are today due to various reasons.

As for why Yang Fu still looks like a normal person now, the answer will be revealed soon.

Buzz!

There was a mechanical collision sound coming from Yang Fu's body.

Kaka!

His right arm suddenly turned, the flesh color shrank, and the metallic luster rose.

Tsk-

The hole in the palm spurted out a surging stream of spiritual power, which turned into a raging wave of spiritual power halfway.

With just one encounter, a tide of beasts numbering as many as five to six hundred disappeared from the world.

Yang Fu looked as if he had farted, extremely relaxed.

Gu...

Chen Zhong swallowed, his heart trembling slightly.

"Sure enough, the Grand Master Realm and the Grand Master Realm cannot be generalized. The difference between Old Wang and him is the Spirit Body Realm and the Soul Tempering Realm!"

Chen Zhong now feels that he has underestimated the master level. Thinking about it this way, Xu Xiaodao was probably paddling against the holy beast of the Linglong Mountains!

After all, Xu Xiaodao's reputation is on the same level as Yang Fu, so he shouldn't be too weak.

Damn, it seems like all of these big guys are really Gou Wangs.

Hey, this world has become dangerous on several levels in an instant.

The second round of competition has officially begun.

The feeling of stepping into the portal is the same as that of Zhongyue Labyrinth.

The layout inside is also almost the same, with secret rooms separated by secret rooms and passages one after another.

Chen Zhong did not run around immediately, but searched in the hall.

"Yes!"

There is a large metal map embedded on the wall, which roughly depicts the general route of the previous floors.

With a personality like Chen Zhong's, he would definitely not act rashly as soon as he arrived. Obtaining more information was his primary goal.

Looking at it, Chen Zhong discovered a little clue.

"this!"

With a thump in his heart, Chen Zhong suppressed his excitement and looked around calmly.

When he first came into contact with the practice of spiritual martial arts, he got a treasure map of unknown origin from Zhang Ming's treasure house of the Inscription Artifact Society.

The route on that map was extremely abstract, almost the same style as the current maze map.

This shows that the two pictures may be from the same person!

At this time, it was not convenient for Chen Zhong to take a closer look at the treasure map, so he could only rely on his memory to recall it.

Finally, Chen Zhong identified the location of the treasure map.

The sixth floor!

"What?" Yuan Wucha asked from behind.

"Senior, let's do it separately. It's hard for us to get points together. You can bring other seniors with you." Chen Zhong said frankly.

The others looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Junior, is it okay if you are alone?" Several seniors asked worriedly.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Another senior said, "With one more person, you won't be too lonely."

Chen Zhong's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help hugging his shoulders.

Do you think so?

I'm too embarrassed to point it out!

You are greedy for my body!

I won't let you succeed!

Finally, Chen Zhong disappeared at the corner of a passage with few people under the caring gaze of several beautiful eyes.

"Alas, what a burden!"

Chen Zhong sighed, being cared for by them... is really tiring.

It's really comfortable to be alone.

Of course, it only took two seconds to complain, and the next second he entered the state he should be in.

The divine escape flashed, and in the blink of an eye he appeared a hundred meters away.

Two minutes later, Chen Zhong reached the third floor.

He ran all the way without stopping, and killed the monsters that blocked him.

When he was about to enter the fourth floor, he met a spiritual warrior who blocked the road, and it was a spiritual warrior from the Divine Empire.

"I don't know you, little brother. Are you from the Red Flame Empire?"

"You are so brave that you dare to come and go freely in the maze at the Blood Surge Realm?"

"Interesting, interesting!"

A bunch of people talked at once and slowly surrounded Chen Zhong.

You know, there are two major conflicts in the Beixuan Maze.

One is humans and monsters, and the other is the spiritual warriors of the two countries.

Except for a few jacks-of-all-trades who wander around on both sides, most people are in a balance. Once there is a conflict, the balance will collapse immediately.

Seeing that there is no room for easing this situation, Chen Zhong didn't say much. He took a step forward, drew his bow and shot arrows, and every arrow hit his head.

Puff puff puff!

One by one, the "watermelons" exploded and flew all over the ground, scaring the spiritual warriors who were watching from a distance.

"Why bother?" Chen Zhong threw down a few corpse melting talismans and went down to the fourth floor.

As soon as his feet stepped on the ground, a cold air swept over!

The Shenxing Dun had no time to dodge, and the Xuanwu body was instantly turned on at high power.

Snap!

The slender blade chopped on the side of Chen Zhong's neck. Before the attacker could laugh triumphantly, the blade was decisively broken.

"Uh..."

Chen Zhong pinched the man's neck accurately, like strangling a chicken, pressing his fingertips hard and twisting his wrist.

Crack!

There is no sound more beautiful than this.

Several cervical vertebrae were comminuted and fractured, and the unvented pain was imprisoned in the man's wide eyes.

They will never have a chance to be reborn!

"Why?" Chen Zhong suddenly felt irritated and looked up at the spiritual warrior of the Divine Empire who was gradually approaching him.

Have you been suppressed for too long?

Chen Zhong rolled up his sleeves, unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt, took back the Wind and Thunder Bow, and took out two plain daggers.

Of course, plain is just an adjective, and both daggers are spiritual weapons of the third grade peak.

The fight began, Chen Zhong turned into the god of death, dancing in the crowd, his toes stepping on the wet ground, splashing blood.

Relying on several melee passive skills, Chen Zhong was invincible. The highest opponent was only the sixth level of the small success realm. What could he do to Chen Zhong?

Twenty minutes later, there were corpses all over the ground. Chen Zhong put away his dagger and threw a third-grade prairie fire talisman. The raging fire was filled with thick smoke.

The movement here attracted a large number of monsters. Chen Zhong did not retreat but advanced. The wind and thunder bow was like a crescent moon, swinging out crescent spirit blades.

After several kills, Chen Zhong knew the specific rules of scoring.

The first-level monster is 1 point, the second-level is 2 points, and the third-level is 3 points. The same should be true for the rest.

Chen Zhong was crazy about killing, and there was a small mountain of monsters under his feet. As for other people, they did not dare to get within a thousand meters, for fear of being killed as monsters.

But his rationality was not diminished in the slightest. After venting some of his inner anger, Chen Zhong decisively stopped and turned around and ran away.
