A smile appeared on Luo Zheng's face when he noticed the light coming from the top of the cave.
"So this is how the Sword Race saves people …"
It was impossible for the Sword Race to send people to save people in the Death Trap. Moreover, there were more than ten thousand upper true gods. If something really happened, they wouldn't be able to save them.
However, the Sword Race's method was simple.
They pierced through the top of the cave and released the aura from the Death Trap onto the injured upper true god. This way, the bugs wouldn't be able to attack again.
When the top of the cave wall was pierced through, a member of the Sword Race jumped down from above and grabbed the upper True God before leaving the tree hole.
However, not all true gods were so lucky to be saved.
Just like what Jian Slayer said, there was the danger of dying in the Death Trap.
While an upper true god was flying, a black beetle suddenly appeared from the side. The horn on the black beetle's head pierced through the upper true god's head and nailed him to the wall of the cave.
The upper true god didn't even have the chance to scream before his body went limp. Naturally, the sword token didn't have the chance to break and he died …
The true gods who noticed this were shocked. Under such circumstances, they could only rush over at an even faster speed.
"These bugs are really troublesome …"
Luo Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly before he rushed forward.
According to his understanding of the situation, after passing the second round of selection, he would be able to participate in the last round of Dao Contest.
If it was as Jing Wuhuan said, Yu Taibai would definitely bring Luo Yan out!
He wasn't interested in the Dao Contest. However, he had to pass this round of selection no matter what.
"Swish!"
Luo Zheng turned into a flowing light again and shot forward.
"Buzz …"
He had just rushed out for about ten miles when he heard a buzzing sound above his head.
Luo Zheng turned around reflexively.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh …"
Ten black flowing lights shot towards Luo Zheng.
"Duk duk duk duk duk …"
The sharp horns of the black beetles were nailed to the walls of the tree hole.
This swarm of black beetles failed to nail Luo Zheng down. They pulled out their sharp horns and once again spread their wings and chased after Luo Zheng relentlessly!
"Buzz …"
Seeing that the black beetles were getting closer and closer to him, Luo Zheng flipped over, and the power in his body surged out violently.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Even though Luo Zheng had used nearly 50% of his power source, he was still unable to break the shells of these black beetles.
However, the massive force still managed to shake these beetles away one by one!
At the same time, Luo Zheng used the rebounding force to fly away again. His movements were as smooth as flowing water, and the black beetles were helpless against him.
Some of the upper Real Gods who flew past in a hurry saw Luo Zheng's familiar movements and they turned to look at him.
Outside the death zone.
A slender branch extended from the top of the main pole.
As the branch continued to bend, it was like a mosquito coil that curled up into a natural platform.
Sword Slaughter stood on the platform, looking down at the people below.
The death zone was a long and narrow passage specially opened up for the people of the Sword Race to cultivate. This passage stretched for hundreds of miles inside the Ruo Mu.
Standing on the platform where Jian Lu was, with the help of the Sword Race's Eye of Insight, one could overlook the entire process.
Below, there were tens of thousands of people of the Sword Race scattered around the surface of the Ruo Mu. They were on standby. If anyone broke the sword token and sent out a distress signal, the people of the Sword Race would use their fastest speed to drill through the surface of the Ruo Mu and rescue the True God inside.
Jian Lu's gaze was focused on Luo Zheng from the beginning to the end.
To tell the truth, watching a lower True God stroll through a land of absolute death was an extremely strange experience …
The Sword Race had opened up hundreds of similar death zones inside the Ruo Mu.
Some of the death zones were empty without any danger. The purpose was to allow the people of the Sword Race to comprehend the other side of the True Meaning of Dao.
However, some of the death zones were extraordinarily dangerous.
There were some extraordinarily ferocious creatures inside the Ruo Mu's huge main body.
Although the Sword Race had occupied the Ruo Mu for so many years, in reality, their understanding of the Ruo Mu was not as good as what the outside world thought.
Until now, there were still some mysterious creatures living inside the Ruo Mu's body. Some of the death zones were extremely dangerous even for a Great Perfection deity to walk around.
The death zone that was being used for the Dao Battle was usually given to upper Real Gods to cultivate in.
Because it was close to the surface of the Ruo Mu, if there was danger, Jian Lu would be able to receive the fastest rescue as long as he moved fast enough.
However, to lower and middle Real Gods, this death zone was extremely dangerous.
"As expected of the little guy who could stir up the floating island. This kind of power … Even the most outstanding disciples of the Sword Race are far from his level!" Jian Lu gave such an evaluation. If he had been doubtful about the rumors before, he now understood that the rumors about Luo Zheng's disappearance from the floating island were not exaggerated at all.
At this moment, two grayish-white figures shot over from nearby and landed in front of Jian Lu in the blink of an eye.
The two of them were also at the Great Perfection Stage!
One of them looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. He had a small beard and a kind face. This person was one of the Sword-Bearing Elders, Jian Xin.
The other person was a sinister-looking old man with an indifferent expression. This person was also one of the Sword-Bearing Elders, and his name was Jian Gu.
After Jian Xin stepped onto the circular platform, he asked Jian Lu with a smile, "The second round of the selection has already begun, right?"
Jian Gu said coldly, "Humph, it's very stupid to place your hopes on some useless people!"
Jian Lu smiled and said, "This is only the first wave of True Gods. The number of True Gods participating in the second round of selection this year is expected to be several times more than the previous years. There should be more elites selected …"
"It's useless even if there are a hundred times more! Something selected from a pile of trash is still a pile of trash. "Jian Gu's tone was rather rude.
However, Jian Lu seemed to be familiar with Jian Gu's bad temper and was not annoyed at all.
Although Jian Gu said that, he turned and asked, "In the first wave of ten thousand True Gods, is there anyone who performed well?"
Jian Lu shook his head and pretended to be miserable as he said, "Very average, very average."
"See, I already said that something selected from a pile of trash is still trash," Jian Gu said confidently.
Hearing this, Jian Lu suddenly revealed a playful smile. "However, I did find an interesting little guy among them!"
There were not many people who could interest Jian Lu.
