Zhang Donggua looked at Yu Qiu with a troubled face, racking his brains to figure out how to pass this matter off, when the ground suddenly trembled, as if the entire Xuanyang Mountain trembled.
The roar of a monster came from afar.
Yu Qiu bounced up abruptly, and looked straight in that direction.
Zhang Donggua quickly took the opportunity to change the subject, and said with a chuckle, "I don't know who is unlucky, but actually broke into the territory of the eighth-level monster!"
As soon as the words fell, he found that Yu Qiu looked as if he had been hit hard, and his face was as white as a ghost.
"Hero Yu Qiu?"
Yu Qiu shook his head, patted his cheek, and sat back pretending to be calm.
Eighth-level monsters... This kind of monsters, which are equivalent to the foundation-building period, Yuqiu's memory, there are at least four of them in Xuanyang Mountain. This is still his memory when he practiced in Xuanyangzong in his previous life, it is a little fuzzy, and it is not completely consistent with the current time, but generally speaking, it is always correct.
From the place where he and Xiao Chunmian parted at the beginning, even a straight line to their destination, Wangyuntai, happened to pass through the territory of such an eighth-level monster. So Yu Qiucai repeatedly tried to remind Xiao Chunmian that he should make a detour.
In front of many powerful monks, eighth-rank monsters are nothing. But for all the monks in the Qi-refining stage who are currently participating in the entry trial, encountering an eighth-level monster can be said to be a catastrophe.
Just as Yu Qiu sat down, the eighth-level monster roared again, so Yu Qiu immediately bounced up again.
"... Hero Yu Qiu?"
Apart from Zhang Donggua, the other two people in this line had already opened their eyes, and they were all looking at his abnormal behavior with surprise on their faces.
Yu Qiu stood there for a long time, and finally showed a wry smile: At this moment, thinking that it might be Xiao Chunmian who is in this kind of trouble, he really wanted to rush to rescue him immediately.
But Xiao Chunmian rejected him. Not only rejected his following, rejected his willingness to help, even rejected the reminder that he was about to export. But even if that sentence was spoken at that time, would Xiao Chunmian do what he reminded? Now that I think about it, according to Xiao Chunmian's attitude at the time, I'm afraid he would just forget what Yu Qiu said...
Thinking of this, Yu Qiu was suddenly very angry.
He couldn't forget the sword that Xiao Chunmian was pointing at him at that time, the Ruoqiu sword, the sword he personally gave to the other party. In addition to the sword, Xiao Chunmian was still wearing the soft armor he gave him, and even the sword technique that he didn't know when he became so powerful was because of learning the sword formula he gave him!
"Yeah, I really don't know which unlucky guy it is!" Yu Qiu sat back again, and laughed at Zhang Donggua and the others, "We don't care about him, and no one else!"
Zhang Dongguahan: Don't say it as if someone was going to take care of it...
The eighth-rank monster over there just roared a few times, and then everything was calm again. It's far away, and no one knows what's going on there.
The group of people started on the road again, walking in the direction Yu Qiu pointed, and it really went smoothly.
Zhang Donggua and the other three admired Yu Qiu even more.
But Yu Qiu still had that face that looked like everyone owed him a spirit stone. But in the eyes of the three of them, it's nothing. Those who are really capable should have a little temper. If they want to hug their thighs, they have to bear it. The two accompanying people only hated that they met Yu Qiu too late, no matter how tightly hugging this thigh is not as firm as Zhang Donggua.
The only thing that is more puzzling is that as long as there is any movement of an eighth-level monster along the way, even if it is still a thousand miles away, Yu Qiu will immediately tense up and turn pale, as if he hit the eighth-level monster. The super monster is still nervous.
However, among the monks who participated in the trial, there were a lot of short-sighted ones, and those eighth-level monsters would be offended every now and then. One night, four eighth-level monsters roared in four directions, and Yu Qiu nearly went crazy.
After more times, Yu Qiu gradually calmed down.
Although the eighth-level monster is a great threat, no one can say that Xiao Chunmian will definitely encounter it. After all, the territory of the eighth-level monster is always different from other places. Xiao Chunmian is so smart, even if Yu Qiu didn't remind him, he would definitely notice it in advance, and then avoid it early. Even if he took 10,000 steps back, and Xiao Chunmian couldn't avoid it in advance, with Ruoqiu sword and the soft armor, it's still no problem to grab a time to pass the mark and abstain, and he can always save his life.
Whenever thinking of this, Yu Qiu felt very grateful that he had given Xiao Chunmian those things.
Then he opened his storage bag, took out some materials, and planned to replenish the talismans consumed along the way, but he saw the pen lying in the bag.
... In fact, when Xiao Chunmian pointed the sword like that at the beginning, Yu Qiu almost pointed at Xiao Chunmian and questioned whether he really wanted to clear up the friendship between the two during this period of time. But Yu Qiu didn't say a word in the end, because he was afraid that once he said those words, Xiao Chunmian would immediately smash the sword and the soft armor back on his face, and even the sword tactics, Xiao Chunmian Maybe it will also abolish self-cultivation.
And this pen, even if Xiao Chunmian didn't ask for it back, Yu Qiu would throw it back in the same way.
Yu Qiu finally took a deep breath, put the pen back into the storage bag, and ran to the stream to wash his face vigorously.
Then Yu Qiu thought: The next time I see Xiao Chunmian, if Xiao Chunmian's anger subsides, I should apologize.
As for after apologizing... it's better to let nature take its course, let's do whatever we want.
Because of Yu Qiu's guidance, the first stage of the introductory trial, the group walked in a relaxed and comfortable way, and finally reached their destination in just six days.
They weren't the first batch to arrive, but they were early enough. When they arrived, there were already several people standing in the open space in front of Wangyun Terrace, all of them looked very high-spirited. Yu Qiu glanced around, and saw quite a few children from cultivation families, occasionally mixed with a few children adopted by the Xuanyang Sect.
After all, although these children have talents that can be favored by Xuanyangzong, they don't get magic tools and talismans from their elders like those favored family children.
As for the casual cultivators... Yu Qiu's group of four, counted among the casual cultivators, is indeed the earliest.
Facing the arrogant eyes of others, the four found Miss Shen who was guarding the corner of Wangyuntai, and reported their names. Miss Shen smiled slightly, and recorded their cultivation status and arrival time on a jade slip, and then gave them a small wooden sign, telling them that they could use this wooden sign to find a room in the back for a temporary stay after nightfall.
Yu Qiu took the wooden sign, but looked in another direction.
On the side of Wangyuntai, there is another large open space. There are quite a few people gathered in this open space, but they are not as high-spirited as those on Wangyuntai. One or two hold their heads properly, looking extremely sluggish. These are the monks who chose to abstain during the previous trial and were rescued here by Gu Ruxue's magic power.
Yu Qiu scanned around carefully, but found no figure of Xiao Chunmian, and didn't know whether to be lucky or worried.
In the evening, a few more people were added on both sides, and Gu Ruxue also led Xu Hong to show his face. Then Xu Hong led all the monks who had passed the first pass to allocate a residence, and then came back to exchange with Miss Shen who was in charge of statistics.
In the early morning, Yu Qiu couldn't help but ran to the Wangyun Terrace to see it again. None of the other monks who had passed the first pass returned to the Wangyun Terrace. It's just that their purpose is to observe every monk who can walk to the Wangyun Terrace with his own feet, but Yu Qiu's purpose is to wait for one person.
Every day after that, Yu Qiu would come and wait.
As a result, day after day, Yu Qiu did not wait for Xiao Chunmian, but another acquaintance.
"You guy..." Gao Conghan arrived on the twelfth day, and he seemed to really hate the fact that Yu Qiu swallowed his positioning spell with a spirit-eating talisman, and he gritted his teeth when he saw Yu Qiu, "You are not small! "
Yu Qiu glanced at him and didn't bother to answer him.
On the other hand, Xu Hong had a sensitive nose, and immediately smelled the smell of gunpowder here, so he ran over and reminded with a smile, "Before the second trial begins, please don't use force on the Wangyun Terrace without authorization."
Gao Cong coldly snorted, although he didn't take Xu Hong seriously, he also knew that Xu Hong represented the entire Xuanyang Sect, so he had no choice but to hold back his breath for a while, gave Yu Qiu a hard look, and found another corner by himself squatting.
Xu Hong was still there sighing, and said to himself that there are quite a lot of angry guys these days. If you really become a junior, you should be more careful, but found that Yu Qiu kept looking at him sideways.
"Senior brother, what's the matter?"
The other party was clearly still participating in the trial, but he called his junior brother as soon as he opened his mouth. This was Xu Hong's cunning again. If it were replaced by someone who didn't know the basics, Xu Hong might be able to win him over with just a few words.
Because of remembering and hating things from his previous life, Yu Qiu had a particularly strong prejudice against this guy.
But after Xiao Chunmian's incident, seeing Xu Hong again, he felt a different kind of intimacy. Even those hatreds seem to have become a kind of hatred.
"Huh..." Xu Hongyuqiu looked carefully, "Have we met... Oh yes, I remembered, it was you, I met you when I went down the mountain last time. Didn't you say you didn't want to join The Xuanyang Sect? Why, you really changed your mind?" After Xu Hong finished speaking, he smiled again, with two dimples on his face, a very sweet smile.
Yu Qiu tried hard to endure the discomfort in his heart, barely showing a trace of kindness, and asked, "I wonder how many people are left in this Xuanyang Mountain?"
Xu Honglue pondered for a while, "Uncle Gu told me this morning that there is probably only one part left."
Yu Qiu reminded himself of the basic manners, and nodded his thanks. Xu Hong still wanted to chat for a few more words, but Yu Qiu had already ran away in a hurry, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid it.
10%. Under these two soft and delicate words, it was full of blood.
At present, only 30% of the monks who are standing on the observation platform have participated in the trial. On the other side, there are at most 30% of the dejected abstaining monks. In this way, there should be 40% left, but now it is only 10%... because the remaining 30% have already died in Xuanyang Mountain.
Yu Qiu's heart tugged again, but he could only continue to wait.
So the twelfth day passed.
So the thirteenth day passed.
fourteenth day...
Until the fifteenth day now, when the deadline came, Xiao Chunmian still did not show up.
