Are you crazy! You call this an assist?

The so-called stronghold is actually a small city gate.

It is located on the dividing line between the outer and inner circles of the Monster Forest.

As long as you pass through the stronghold, it is equivalent to passing through the outer circle of the forest and coming to the inner circle.

And there are many such strongholds on the dividing line.

Their function is to warn the monsters in the Monster Forest, especially the big guys in the inner circle, to prevent them from making any unusual movements.

After all, the entire Monster Forest belongs to the Holy Magnolia Empire, and the monsters in it are essentially the wealth raised by the empire.

Therefore, there are imperial soldiers stationed in these strongholds.

When Jiang Chen brought the Iron Devouring Beast to the city gate.

An alarm sounded on the city wall.

More than a dozen archers appeared in the battlements of the city wall.

At the same time, a group of spearmen rushed out of the city gate.

"Roar~!"

I don't know if the Iron Devouring Beast felt the danger, and it immediately howled at the soldiers.

The deafening sound wave made Jiang Chen cover his ears and take two steps back.

If you resist, the sound will deafen people!

"There is another student next to the Iron Devourer, don't hurt him!"

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like an officer on the city wall shouted.

Immediately, more than a dozen archers at the battlements of the city wall drew their bows and arrows and aimed at the Iron Devourer.

And the dozens of spearmen on the ground also pointed their spears forward and took a fighting stance.

"Panda, calm down!"

Jiang Chen first comforted the Iron Devourer, then quickly stepped forward, opened his hands and shouted: "Don't do it, this Iron Devourer is my partner!"

"The Iron Devourer is a king-level magic beast, how can a small student like you surrender?"

The officer asked doubtfully on the city wall.

"I didn't subdue it."

Jiang Chen didn't know how to explain, so he shouted: "We are just friends. You saw that it didn't attack me."

"That is to say, it is not your contracted beast."

The middle-aged officer glanced at the Iron Devouring Beast, and then said: "According to the regulations, ownerless monsters are not allowed to enter the city gate, otherwise we must get rid of them!"

"I let it leave."

Jiang Chen wanted to take the Iron Devouring Beast into the city, but now he had no choice.

Immediately, he turned his head, reached out and touched the head of the Iron Devouring Beast and said: "Panda, you have to leave. Thank you for sending me here."

"Woo~!"

The Iron Devouring Beast arched its head and whimpered, seeming a little reluctant.

"We will meet again if we are destined, go!"

Jiang Chen raised his hand.

"Roar~!"

Immediately, the Iron Devouring Beast raised its head and roared at the people on the city wall, then turned around and jumped, turning into a residual image and disappearing in the tall grass.

It can be seen that the middle-aged officer breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to fight a king-level monster unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Everyone retreat, stay alert!"

The officer ordered loudly, then looked at Jiang Chen deeply, turned around and disappeared on the city wall.

The spearmen at the city gate also retreated like a tide.

Then Jiang Chen stepped into the city.

At the same time, he felt dizzy in his mind, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

…………

"Congratulations to all the students, you have come to this base after a long journey and successfully passed the preliminary selection of the alliance competition!"

In a daze, Jiang Chen heard a strong voice.

He opened his eyes and found himself on a piece of yellow sandy land.

He looked around and found that this should be an open-air square in the base.

There were also 20 to 30 young men and women here with him.

These were people who passed the preliminary selection of the competition from various colleges.

The girl named Xuan Dai was standing next to Jiang Chen.

At this time, everyone was looking at a middle-aged man on the high platform in front.

To be precise, he was looking at the table in front of the man.

Because there were rows of transparent glass bottles neatly placed on the table.

The bottles were filled with light blue liquid, emitting a charming halo.

"Is that on the table... Magic Source Holy Water?"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but open his eyes wide and asked.

"Yes, I've seen it before."

Xuan Dai nodded beside him.

"Let's not waste any more time. Now I'll give you the reward for passing the preliminary selection, Magic Source Holy Water!"

The middle-aged man's voice sounded. He seemed to know that everyone's mind was on the reward, so he waved his hand.

The rows of small glass bottles on the table in front of him suddenly flew into the air.

Then, they fell very accurately to every student on the field.

One of the bottles flew in front of Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen immediately reached out and grabbed the glass bottle in front of him.

Immediately, he asked Xuan Dai who was standing beside him: "Miss Xuan Dai, can this Magic Source Holy Water be drunk directly?"

"Yes, you don't know?"

Xuan Dai was stunned for a moment, then said: "After drinking the Magic Source Holy Water, as long as it is simply refined, it can greatly increase the magic power in the body without any side effects."

"Then if there is enough Magic Source Holy Water, can't it increase the magic power in the body to the level of a great magician?"

Jiang Chen asked immediately.

"Impossible, drinking too much Magic Source Holy Water is useless. The first two or three bottles have the last effect. The more you drink, the less magic power you can increase."

Xuan Dai explained and asked: "Didn't your teacher at the academy tell you?"

"I never said it. I probably think I can't pass the primary election."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself, then opened the cork of the bottle.

He raised his head and drank the light blue liquid in the glass bottle in one gulp.

Suddenly, a cool feeling surged into his abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, the coolness turned into warmth, quickly flowing through the body.

At the same time, Jiang Chen found that the magic power in his body was skyrocketing!

In just a moment, he felt that he had touched the level of a senior magician, and it seemed that he could break through just by piercing that barrier!

However, the effect of the magic source holy water was also absorbed at this time.

"Just a little bit closer!"

Jiang Chen roared silently, and then looked around.

It can be seen that many people have drunk the magic source holy water and are refining with their eyes closed.

However, some people were still holding glass bottles and looking at them.

How about grabbing a bottle? !

This thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

Without hesitation, he quietly approached one of the young men who was holding a glass bottle and had not yet drank from it.

"Is there something wrong, Your Excellency?"

The young man noticed Jiang Chen approaching, and he just finished speaking.

Jiang Chen suddenly accelerated and said silently: "Spiritual Puncture!"

"you want……"

The young man's pupils shrank, and before he could say the words "What are you doing?", there was a sharp stabbing pain in his mind.

There was a brief moment of confusion in his eyes.

At the same time, Jiang Chen snatched the glass bottle from the young man's hand.

Then quickly pull out the cork and drink it all!
