In the following days, everyone was just eating, practicing, and resting. Of course, when they had free time, Hong Mao and Lan Tu would also think of Hei Xiao Hu's situation, worrying at the same time but also becoming more determined to obtain the Jing Yuan Pearl. Two days later, the competition proceeded as scheduled, during which time everyone's strength had slightly improved. The one who made the most progress was Hong Mao; since his Long Hong True Qi recovered a bit, his abilities greatly increased
There has been progress, and it can be said that dealing with Teng Long's Five Chivalrous Heroes is almost a sure thing.
The three teams, today will be the final showdown, whether it's the audience or the contestants are expecting and nervous, after all, who will get the Jingyuan Pearl. The judges walked onto the stage, loudly announcing: "The Three Towers Great Conquest is now beginning! First, please have the remaining teams walk onto the stage!" As soon as the words fell, only three teams were left, namely, Tenglong Wujie, Fenghuang Wuanguan and Riyon Wurenzu. The audience was expecting, discussing below the stage, "How are the three teams going to compete?" "Anyway, it's not possible for two teams to have a showdown, why else would they call all three teams onto the stage?" The judge coughed twice, saying: "The rules of this competition are that the three teams will simultaneously enter the Three Towers Abyss, where there will be countless paths, only one of which is the road leading to the Jingyuan Pearl. The other roads, when you reach the end, it's the exit of the competition, if you walk out, it means your challenge has failed, of course, you can choose to return by the original route.
In addition, the time limit is three hours, and we will remind the contestants every hour. [In ancient times, one hour was equivalent to two hours now] Next, I declare that the competition has begun! As soon as the voice fell, the recorder on the side turned the mechanism, and the arena slowly opened to both sides, revealing a section of stairs underneath. The crowd walked down with trepidation, slowly disappearing into the darkness.
After walking for a long time, the crowd finally reached the bottom, but it was still pitch black below. Tingdang couldn't help but feel a little scared, and she slowly made her way forward by feeling along the wall. At this moment, she touched something protruding out, and with a press inward, the torches on both sides were suddenly lit up, finally illuminating everything. Lifting her head to look around, the stage had become a small dot, with only a faint light shining through, indeed it was the Three-Stage Abyss.
The three groups of contestants looked at each other, and Teng Long Wu Jie spoke up first: "Since there's only one path to the Jing Yuan Pearl, let's rely on our own abilities to find the way." Bai Zhen from the Ri Yue Five nodded in agreement: "Alright." Hong Mao also agreed: "I concur." And so the three groups of contestants walked forward together, stopping at the entrance of the passageway, clearly deliberating which path to take. After a while,
Teng Long Wu Jie led the way into a passageway, while the remaining two groups remained still. Ding Dang walked up to Hong Mao and asked, "Hong Mao, with so many passageways here, which one should we choose?" Hong Mao nodded slightly, her eyes scanning each passageway as if deep in thought, but she didn't speak for a long time. Just as Ding Dang was about to ask again, Xiao Li stopped her, saying, "Don't disturb Hong Mao's thoughts, besides, we can't just rely on Hong Mao."
Dingdang listened and thought it made sense, so he also started observing the passage. For a while, all around was quiet and still, with only occasional water droplets sounds. Han Tian walked to the front of the passage, touched the stone wall, leaned against it and listened carefully, but seemed to gain nothing. On this side, the five members of Riyue also didn't idle, they too started using their own methods to distinguish.
At this time, Blue Rabbit seemed to have heard something and closed her eyes, trying to listen more clearly. Rainbow Cat saw Blue Rabbit's appearance and knew she had discovered something, so she signaled Cold Sky not to move. Sure enough, after listening for a while, Blue Rabbit opened her eyes and pointed to one of the passages, saying "There." Rainbow Cat looked in the direction Blue Rabbit was pointing, without any doubt, and walked in with Blue Rabbit together.
It was a cold day, Xiao Li and Ding Dang followed suit. The Sunday Five saw that the Rainbow Cats had already made their choice, so they also chose a path that they thought was most likely to work and walked in. On this side, the Rainbow Cats were walking when Ding Dang asked: "Lan Tu, what method did you use to choose the path?" Lan Tu smiled and said: "I just heard a sound." "A sound?"
Xiao Li and Ding Dang said in confusion, even Han Tian showed a puzzled expression. Hong Mao stopped in her tracks and listened carefully, saying: "That's right, there is a sound, it sounds like a 'hoooo' sound." "Really?" Ding Dang and Han Tian also stopped to listen carefully, but they didn't hear anything, nor did Xiao Li.
That's why the three of them didn't hear it, because their internal strength wasn't deep enough. The stronger one's internal strength is, the better their hearing will be. Blue Rabbit only had seven successful cultivations, but he was still very sensitive to sounds. As for Rainbow Cat, since he had recovered some of his Long Rainbow True Qi, his internal strength naturally became much deeper. If it were in the past, his hearing would have been even better than Blue Rabbit's. Rainbow Cat looked at the three puzzled people and said: "Probably because your internal strength isn't deep enough." Dangdang felt a bit dissatisfied upon hearing this, while Han Tian was slightly surprised - he really wanted to see how strong Blue Rabbit actually was.
