Volume 1: The Storm of the College Chapter 2: Examination Tasks
Three days later, on the shores of Lan Lan Lake.
Bai Ye shouted loudly to the dozens of disciples in front of him: "This monthly exam mission, explore the vitality anomaly of Santai Mountain in recent times. ”
"Huh, is that simple?"
"This is a low-stage mission, right?"
"What is this, and you're going to do a big job~"
"The newly learned tricks are no longer useful~"
............
As soon as Bai Ye's words fell, it was like exploding a pot............
It's no wonder that they, the general academy will take into account the specific strength of each class when assigning tasks, and tasks like this kind of exploration are usually for low-level disciples, so from this point of view, the school has a slight disparagement for them.
"Old Bai, what are your tasks?" walked over from afar, a man in black who spoke plain dialect.
Bai Ye looked up and saw that it was a professor from the same college, named Shi Wudie, and immediately replied with a slight smile, "Investigate the vitality abnormality of Santai Mountain recently!"
In Bai Ye's eyes, it is better than anything else to be able to complete tasks in the simplest way, and it is all the work of children to show their strength by taking risks, and it is impossible for him to have this impulse even ten thousand years ago.
Shi Wudie looked at Bai Ye's cheap smile and was stunned for a long time, and finally squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Awesome!"
Bai Ye didn't care about the reluctance of the group of little guys below, raised his arms and shouted: "Let's go!"
Santai Mountain, also known as Santai Hill, Santai Market.
In "The Legend of Dun Xue • The Biography of the Sea", it is said: "The Han Dynasty made the source of the poor river, and its mountains were full of flowers.
The mountains here are undulating, the snow peaks are swords, the grasslands are rough and heroic, and the wind and clouds are fantastic and wild.
What is especially amazing is that the flowers and spiritual grasses that can be seen everywhere here only take a moment from germination to growth, flowering, and withering, and it is said that it is because of the chaos of time and space caused by a great war many years ago.
What's more worth mentioning is that at the foot of the mountain, the flowers bloom and fall constantly, after the 5,000-meter halfway up the mountainside, suddenly it becomes a snow-capped ice hill, here is not only spectacular and magnificent in appearance, but also interestingly, the bottom of the ice mound and the inside of the oblique ice pick, it is actually a clear and turbulent trickling undercurrent.
From the outside, it looks like frozen elves, and these imprisoned elves have been preparing day and night.
When the time comes, it will desperately break through the ice and gush out, and the huge sonic boom will be like an angry roar.
However, I don't know if it's because it's been suppressed for too long or because I don't know how to restrain myself at all, the gushing spring water is unscrupulous venting from beginning to end.
When the power is exhausted, it is sealed back in the ice, like a merciless curse, like a paranoid reincarnation.
In this winding and undulating mountain, there is a group of slow-moving black dots, which seem so insignificant in the snow-white of heaven and earth.
The majestic hills and ravines are like silver-gray dragons rolling forward, and this small team of less than ten people is not as good as a small ant in this majestic mountain range.
Although it can only be regarded as the entrance of Santai Mountain into the snowy region, the altitude is also more than 5000, in this kind of place, the air is thin, the pressure is small and the climate is cold, the environment can be said to be quite harsh, so Bai Ye deliberately left most of the people in the flowering area to explore, and he only brought a few students with the highest cultivation into the snowy region.
In the depths of Santai Mountain, it is covered with snow all year round, and sometimes you can't see a trace of other colors after walking for days and nights.
Therefore, if you are inexperienced or have low cultivation, it is easy to die in this vast snowfield.
Because of this, most of the time it can be said to be completely off-the-beaten-path.
There are only two kinds of people who occasionally appear, one is the adventurer who is looking for treasure, and the other is the team that completes the assessment task like the one in front of you.
"Walk forward for more than an hour is Qingzhen Spring, everyone work harder, hold on for a while, and when we get to Qingzhen Spring, we will take a rest, there is the place where the vitality of the entire snowy region is the strongest, if there is anything abnormal, it must be the most obvious. ”
The student at the front of the line turned around and said that because the wind and snow mask covered her entire face, she couldn't see her true face clearly, but the voice turned out to be a girl, and it should be one of Bai Ye's most proud disciples, whose name was Yinglian.
"Good. ”
"Come on. The people who followed behind also responded.
After walking for nearly three hours, a huge blue gem seemed to suddenly squeeze out of the snow, and it was imprinted into everyone's sight without negotiation—the green spring had finally arrived.
Located on the north bank of the Santai River, also known as the Santai Spring, the thick granite slabs form the pool wall, and the clear spring water in the pool keeps gushing out for thousands of years.
Even in the harsh winter, it never freezes, and no one knows where the bottom of the spring leads.
Yinglian still clearly remembers the records in the book: there are several places to pay special attention to when performing tasks in Santai Mountain, and Qingzhen Spring is one of them.
According to local legends, the spring is formed by the eyes of the gods, so they regard it as a sacred spring, and there are sacrifices here every year.
A long time ago, at that time, everyone didn't know much about the land of Santai Mountain.
There are three Enlightenment Realm cultivators bathing in the spring, all of them drowned in the spring, it stands to reason that they have all reached the Enlightenment Realm, even if they can hold their breath underwater for a few hours, how can they be killed by a small spring, after this incident, it also put a veil of mystery on Qingzhen Spring.
After carefully instructing everyone to take some precautions, Yinglian arranged for everyone to set up tents to rest, and at the same time lit the campfire with special white briquettes.
Bai Ye hid to the side and watched all this silently, and took out a wine gourd from his arms and poured two large sips.
"Sir, you are not allowed to drink alcohol during the mission~~" Yinglian went up and took away Bai Ye's gourd, if it was someone else, Bai Ye would have jumped up, but there was really no way to be angry with Yinglian, so he had to smack his lips and say stupidly: "Okay ~ okay ~ don't drink ~ ~ listen to your ~~"
After everyone had everything ready, they all sat on the air mattress and gasped for air.
As the campfire lit, everyone took off their masks, and four of the seven people in the team were girls.
The two boys were busy pouring water and medicine for them, persuading them to eat something, and the more they didn't eat, the more they would feel hypoxic.
And from the lead-clouded sky from time to time there are scattered snowflakes falling, and it seems that there will be a heavy snowfall soon.
Because the altitude is too high, the water can't be boiled, and the food brought can only be boiled until half-cooked, and in the process of doing the task, unless fighting, it is not allowed to use spells, otherwise any fire-based spell can solve this problem, which can be regarded as a kind of training for them.
Everyone ate these raw foods, but the disappointment in their eyes was revealed without scruples, after all, this was a boring assessment.
After eating in two bites, everyone continued to sit there panting and resting, feeling that the strength exerted by eating a meal here was simply more than a whole day of training in the martial arts arena.
"You guys are waiting for me here, I'll go ahead and take a look~~ The vitality here is surprisingly calm, which is really unreasonable. Bai Ye got up and walked into the distance.
Looking at the back of Bai Ye getting farther and farther away, the girl with a fleshy face is called Zirun, and she should be the youngest of these seven people.
Big eyes kept staring at Yinglian, who didn't know where to take out a book and looked at herself.
After a while, he couldn't help but speak: "Sister Yinglian, what are you reading again?" Now that you are idle and bored, can you tell us a few stories?"
One of the boys with thick eyebrows echoed in.
"That's right, I said senior sister, I like to hear your stories so much, anyway, it's nothing, Mr. doesn't know when he will come back, you can tell us about it." ”
The other boy, who was slightly taller, glanced at his thick eyebrows and smiled
"I said Yixin, if you like Senior Sister Yinglian, you can confess directly, you don't need to borrow other people's Zirun's words, and the stubble is almost And, think about it, wouldn't it be beautiful for you to have a fleshy confession in these three holy places, and it can be regarded as adding a little color to us, facing this vast snowfield, it is really boring and tight. ”
"Shi Hanhan, you roll the calf for me, you are embarrassed to say that I, you are a full man and I don't know that a hungry man is hungry, and you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, you are not as good as me when you chased your girlfriend?
was robbed by Yixin, especially when he mentioned "Hanlin Street Loli", Shi Hanhan's face at that time suddenly became strange.
Before he could refute, the small girl sitting next to him had already grabbed Yixin's arm and said anxiously: "What is the story of Lori on Hanlin Street? ”
As soon as Shi Hanhan heard this, his strange face was a little deformed, and he quickly took over the words and squeezed his eyebrows at Yixin: "Alas?......? Let's fight and never hurt lives. ”
Then he immediately turned his head and explained to the small girl with a flattering face: "Actually, that means... This one... Hallym Street Lori... Actually, nothing. ”
"The surname is Shi, let me tell you, if you dare to lie to me today, you will wait to be killed by lightning. ”
The little girl glanced at Shi Hanhan and said this viciously, and stared at Shi Hanhan without saying a word.
The reason for this is that it goes back a month ago.
