"Oh? Why is that?"
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly,
"Since the rankings for the trial have been announced after reaching the top of the mountain, why do we have to wait here for another month?"
If you really want to take people to the Shenxu Realm, just go directly. Why bother
He Ziji was stunned for a moment.
"Because. Because this is the rule set from the beginning."
No reason.
The rules have been set since they knew about the existence of this trial.
This is like a convention, and no one will break the casserole to ask the truth.
The gatekeepers say so, and they do it.
It's that simple.
He Ziji had never thought about this problem before, but when he heard Chu Liuyue asked this question, he became a little confused.
But he couldn't figure it out either.
After thinking about it and getting no answer, He Ziji scratched his head.
"Is this probably because there are so many people traveling through the sect, so we need to make more preparations?"
Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu both came from the Shenxu Realm, so they naturally knew that this guess was impossible.
Then this matter is obviously more problematic.
"ah-"
A scream suddenly came, breaking the silence.
Several people looked back and saw several people running towards this direction in a panic.
They all looked panicked and had blood on their bodies. It was obvious that they had just experienced a fierce battle.
Roar!
Behind them, a gray-winged demon wolf is approaching quickly!
The forest is dense, so it is somewhat difficult to move, but as a ninth-grade monster, its speed is still amazing!
Those few people were chased by it in a panic.
"Help us! Please!"
The boy running at the front shouted in panic.
He Zilan pulled He Ziji's sleeve.
"Brother, we are in a competition! Where is the point in helping others?"
It would be fine if they were close friends of their own. Why should they save these people who they had never met before
"Besides, they have brought danger to us!"
He Ziji nodded.
Although he has always been enthusiastic, he also knows when to score.
He didn't want to bury himself because of this.
"Walk!"
He Ziji gave a low shout and turned around without hesitation.
Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu naturally did not want to interfere.
They had already thought before that if they could not take action here, they would not take action.
All we need to do is get to the top of the mountain and find out what they are doing.
Seeing several people turn around and leave without any intention of helping, a trace of despair flashed in the eyes of those people.
—In this trial, there is a default rule: once you participate in the trial, it doesn’t matter whether you live or die!
If you die here, your death will be in vain!
Although it is dangerous, there are still countless practitioners who continue to follow it.
Because in this world, the strong will always be respected after all!
However, Chu Liuyue had just taken a few steps when she suddenly stood still and looked back again.
Rong Xiu stopped after her and followed her line of sight.
At this glance, he also noticed something was wrong, and his expression was slightly restrained.
The two stopped moving and quickly attracted He Ziji's attention.
He opened his eyes slightly and asked in disbelief:
"You're not really planning to help, are you? This is a trial!"
Those people are all their opponents!
Of course Chu Liuyue didn't want to help.
She just felt that something was wrong with the gray-winged demon wolf.
Thinking of this, she took a step forward and flicked her wrist!
A bright stream of light quickly passed through the air and headed straight for the gray-winged demon wolf!
laugh!
The sound of the sharp blade piercing flesh was heartbreaking.
Then, there was a muffled sound.
boom!
The gray-winged demon wolf fell heavily to the ground!
Between its eyebrows, a dagger as thin as a cicada's wing was almost completely submerged!
Dark red and sweet blood slowly gushes out, and the gray-winged demon wolf's eyeballs protrude, with a ferocious expression.
But it gradually became silent.
Finally, he tilted his head and died completely.
He Ziji and He Zilan both looked shocked.
one move!
This woman actually killed the gray-winged demon wolf with just one move
This means that her dagger not only pierced the gray-winged demon wolf's eyebrows, but also shattered its beast elixir!
What kind of strength is this
He Ziji had long thought that these two people might be much more powerful than they seemed on the surface.
But when I actually saw this scene, I was still filled with shock and regret.
Anyway, he asked himself, he definitely didn't have this ability.
He Zilan also shuddered, and her eyes when she looked at Chu Liuyue again changed greatly.
She had no doubt that if the other party wanted to, he could definitely use the same method to kill her easily!
—After all, she can’t even defeat this gray-winged demon wolf!
Thinking of her previous offenses, He Zilan broke into a cold sweat.
However, Chu Liuyue had no intention of paying attention to these two people.
She walked over there.
Rong Xiu walked side by side with her.
The few people who had just escaped from the danger were all stunned on the spot, looking at the corpse of the gray-winged demon wolf, unable to regain their consciousness for a long time.
The gray-winged demon wolf that almost killed them, just... died like this
It wasn't until they heard the sound of footsteps that they suddenly came to their senses.
"M-Thank you very much."
The young man who first shouted for help looked at Chu Liuyue with a grateful face.
The remaining people also quickly followed suit and thanked him.
But the frightened look on his face made him look really embarrassed.
Chu Liuyue ignored them, just walked straight to the gray-winged demon wolf, leaned over and pulled out the dagger.
The bright and sharp dagger was not stained with any blood.
She turned her eyes slightly, and then took a steady look at the gray-winged demon wolf.
When they didn't get a response, those people were a little embarrassed.
But when I think that my life was saved by someone, I feel very grateful.
"I don't know your surnames, I'll wait for you later-"
"You guys go down the mountain."
Chu Liuyue straightened up and said calmly.
".What?"
Those people were all stunned and looked at each other.
Does this mean to let them withdraw from the trial
Also, if she hadn't taken action, their life and death would be uncertain at the moment, and they would definitely not be able to continue participating in the trial.
What's more, in their current state, they probably won't be able to win.
"That"
The leading young man spoke hesitantly, wanting to find out Chu Liuyue's identity so that he could repay her in the future.
Chu Liuyue just waved her hand lazily.
"No need to thank you, I didn't intend to save you."
These words were too much to accept.
Seeing that Chu Liuyue didn't seem to want to say anything more to them, those people didn't bother too much. After solemnly thanking him again, they headed down the mountain.
The figures of several people quickly disappeared.
He Ziji and He Zilan looked at each other, both confused.
If she asked those people to withdraw from the trial because she wanted to reduce the number of opponents for herself, it doesn't seem to make sense.
With her strength, it is obvious that she will not take these people seriously.
Chu Liuyue lowered her eyes slightly, looking thoughtfully at the faint marks on the neck of the gray-winged demon wolf.
This gray-winged demon wolf has an owner.
