‘No, if this goes on, these little fellows will really think that this is the only trial of our demon sect.

‘If we don’t let them see some blood, where will the prestige of our demon sect be?

‘There are only ten days left before the trial ends.

‘Other than that, the passing rate is less than ten percent, and there are even cases of team wipe-outs. If the passing rate is too high this year, wouldn’t my cheating be exposed?’

Ai Li rubbed his chin as he paced back and forth, constantly pondering in his heart.

This time, there were many changes due to the demon lord during the welcoming ceremony.

There was even a grand occasion of everyone passing the Stairway to Heaven.

It was unknown if it was intentionally done by the demon lord.

According to the tradition of the demon sect, at least half of those who passed the first stage would be eliminated.

The second stage, the Stairway to Heaven, would be eliminated the participants by another half.

As for the third stage, the probability of passing the Tower of Babel was less than 10% .

Each of these stages were filled with danger, and people would die.

Moreover, many people would die.

Those who were eliminated but were lucky and did not die would be classified as servants, ordinary disciples, and inner sect disciples according to the number of stages they passed.

Only those who passed the third stage successfully could become the personal disciples of elders, demon lords, and others.

This year, when he was in charge of the demon sect, such a change had occurred.

The first stage was still fine, almost the same as the previous years.

The second stage was passed by all of them, and they even reached the thousandth step.

At that time, he thought that the demon sect was going to prosper, so he did not care about it.

Now, it seemed that he was really wrong.

There were a hundred people who had broken through the third stage, the Tower of Babel. Twenty days had passed, and there were still more than eighty people who survived.

With everyone’s experience, the next few days were not as difficult as the previous few days.

As long as they were careful, they should be able to pass the level, except for a few unlucky people.

Now only was there himself and the old witch in the demon sect but how could dozens of personal disciples be taught?!

No, no, they had to increase the difficulty.

Ai Li hesitated for a while and finally made up his mind. He took out a jade gourd from the secret chamber.

He opened the secret chamber of the Tower of Babel and pulled out the gourd. A gust of black wind was sent flying.

A strong young man wearing animal skin and holding a white bone sword was crouching on the hillside. His eyes were fixed on a group of magic wolves not far away.

There was a group of magic wolves not far away.

There were three children of hunters from the Hundred Thousand Mountains who formed an alliance and were ready to hunt magic wolves.

Their bodies were smeared with mud to hide the smell, and they held sharp stone-polished weapons in their hands.

As long as they were careful, they could injure one before the demon wolf could react.

The weapons had already been smeared with the venom of poisonous insects.

Just a scratch on the skin was enough to kill the demon wolf.

Although there was a trace of venom in the meat of this seemingly obtained prey, it was still better than starving.

The fur-clad youth stared intently at the three children of the same age. His target was not the demon wolf, but the children who were preparing to hunt the demon wolf.

He was also a child who grew up in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The difference was that he was not an ordinary hunter, but was raised by bandits.

The bandit leader was his father, but the two of them did not have any kinship.

On the mountain, there were more than a hundred women who had been abducted.

Half of them had given birth to his children.

The bandit leader only liked useful children, and those who were useless were used as slaves.

The beast-skinned youth caught Zhou with a knife in his hand, and the bandit leader took a fancy to him, so he named him Knife.
