Chapter Ninety-Six: The First Day of the Lunar New Year
When Su Zi returned to Xuanfeng again, it was seventy-seven days after she and Ce broke up in Liangzhou and went to Baifang Town to carry out the demon eradication mission.
Although she finally succeeded in achieving her goal within the agreed time, Su Zi's mission journey was really not easy at all, not because of how terrifying the seventh-level demon beast was that she couldn't deal with, but in these seventy-seven days, she had been caught for seventy days just by playing hide and seek with this demon beast that was so cunning that she couldn't be more cunning! Seriously, except for the snow spirit fox charm, which is no different from a human, this is the first time she has seen such a high-IQ demon beast, she can run if she can't beat it, make full use of the terrain advantage of its home field, and see that Su Zi is stalking and refuses to give up no matter what, it even set a trap in turn! Although Su Zi was not so tricked, but in general, this trip to eliminate demons still made her physically and mentally exhausted, and after handing over the Inner Dan of the mountain owl ghost to the task office in exchange for contribution points, as soon as Su Zi returned to Xuanfeng, what she saw was the under-beating scene of Ce humming in the sun while basking in the sun with Erlang's legs crossed in the courtyard where she temporarily lived.
"Seventy-seven days, it's okay, I thought you wouldn't be able to come back. Sensing her breath, Ce opened one eye and glanced over.
"Don't underestimate people," although Su Zi's mission was full of tears, it did gain a lot, it can be said that her experience in dealing with various emergencies has improved a lot, "When will you leave again?"
Ce Yi turned over and sat up from the recliner, "If you are ready, you can naturally leave at any time." ”
"Then what are you waiting for," Su Zi's expression was very firm, "This time, we must not fail again." ”
"Ha, my nephew is so hearted," Ce laughed happily, "then leave immediately." ”
Although he has only been crawling and rolling in the dense forest inhabited by the ghosts of the mountain for more than 70 days, and now he is going to Jingxia Valley again without stopping, Su Zi, who has no time to rest, is extraordinarily energetic. Su Zi, who has been debuting smoothly for so long, is really rare to taste a failure, so the three words Jingxia Valley have become a level that she must overcome in her heart.
Back to the old land, the first illusion of the valley of the Thrilling Valley had no effect on her. This time, it was completely Su Zi who took the lead, and took the lead to come to the entrance of the maze that had been reshuffled and remodeled again.
"I noticed just now that there are still fragments of divine consciousness left in the first vision, and there are still people who came before us. Moreover," Su Zi's expression was very serious, "In my senses, it seems to be the same person as before." ”
Ce narrowed his eyes, "Don't pay too much attention to the other party, if we choose the wrong road in front of us, then these three months will really be in vain." ”
"I wouldn't make such a low-level mistake. Su Zi silently held the magic boundless, in the past few months of playing hide and seek with demon beasts, she had trained her divine sense a lot of times, and now was the time to test the results, and the answer to the first multiple-choice question blurted out. "Left. ”
Step by step, Su Zi's progress is not obvious, under her almost non-stop guidance, Ce is completely in a state of following, the two of them came to the middle of the labyrinth of one hundred and sixty steps, the two magic boundless points to each other again, Su Zi judged for a long time and couldn't make up his mind, so he had to signal to change people, "Now this is my limit." ”
Three months, forty steps forward...... Although the policy is not expressed on the surface. But in his heart, he was extremely surprised by Su Zi's inhuman growth rate, and he observed the more than ten forks in the road they were currently facing, "It seems that we are temporarily ahead." ”
"But in the words of the Dream Possession. I'm afraid that I will soon be caught up by the other party. "The method of strategy is indeed extremely accurate, but it takes too long and it is also a disadvantage that cannot be solved, Su Zi frowned and thought about this question seriously, "Or just continue to move forward, but if you choose the wrong ......" Illusion Boundless can determine two doubtful answers, although she can't make a final judgment. But there may be other ways.
"Don't worry, my nephew is working so hard, and my uncle can't be lazy and don't make any efforts, right?" Ce said happily, and suddenly took out a very peculiar-looking compass.
Sure enough, can't the magic stick only have one move...... Su Zi watched Ce's fingers turn twice on the compass very dexterously, and then the lines immediately flashed with light, aiming at one of the two directions she had just pointed to!
"What kind of spell is this?" Su Zi and Ce took another step forward.
"It's not a spell, this is an astrolabe borrowed from the third senior brother, the three months that you have been working hard outside, I asked the third senior brother to draw a star map, although the maze of the Amazing Xia Valley is ingeniously designed, no one can solve it so far, but the infinite changes in it are also inseparable from the momentum of celestial luck, according to the star map, at least in the middle of the maze, you can also find the correct answer. Ce began to use the astrolabe in his hand to lead the way, and he suddenly said: "If the master and nephew are interested, when you return from the Ghost Mist Forbidden Land, I can also teach you some simple methods of arithmetic." ”
No, although she has a lot of magic, she has no interest in the magic stick skills, really...... Su Zi laughed twice and diverted the topic, and in view of the fact that the preparation made this time was very good, with the astrolabe in his hand, he actually moved forward nearly a hundred steps safely, there was no path that suddenly disappeared, and there was no obstacle that suddenly appeared, seeing that the ghost animal level of the maze had entered the final stage, Su Zi's heart that had been carrying it gradually relaxed, "This time we should have eliminated the opponent, right?"
"Perhaps. Ce's expression became more and more serious, and the movements of various breaths in the maze became more and more chaotic, and now with the astrolabe in his hand, he could no longer quickly find the correct answer. Ce looked at their very gratifying progress this time, and couldn't help but start thinking about every step after the premise of success, he put away the astrolabe, and suddenly handed Su Zi a herring fish mask, "Put it on, protect the Dharma for me." ”
Su Zi, who looked at the mask, was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she had been messing around with this guy in Xuanfeng for a long time, and she had forgotten that Xuanfeng still had such a rule of pretending to be mysterious! "You...... Doesn't Xuanfeng have a rule that he must wear a mask when leaving the peak? Why don't you wear one?"
"Rules are dead, people are alive, besides, is there a third person here besides you and me?" Ce said and took the mask back and put it on his face, most of his always extraordinarily bright expression was covered by the cold mask, and his whole temperament changed instantly, "So, are you used to it?"
“…… It's really not used to it. Su Zi, who told the truth, caught the mask he threw over again, "But why did you let me put it on......" The moment she put on the mask as she spoke, the sudden increase in her six senses made her immediately shake, "This is ......!"
"We're in the lead right now, and if there's another trap here, it's not as easy as last time, don't take off your mask, and if you can't hold on, wake me up. He sat down, "Attack me directly." ”
"Hey......" Without waiting for Su Zi to express his opinion, Ce was already dreaming quickly, Su Zi was silent for a moment, and then sat down beside him and began to work as a boring guard, but this time since he gave such a solemn order, it seems that he really has to be vigilant. Through the mask, Su Zi's already strong divine sense was added again, and Su Zi sighed that if she had known that Xuanfeng's mask still had such a plug-in function, she would have borrowed it directly to break through the maze for 200 steps. However, the last section of the super maze in Kyushu is indeed not at the same level as the previous one, even with the mask of strategy, Su Zi tried the magic boundless, but he still couldn't confirm the correct answer for the next step.
In this way, one can only hope for Yu Ce's dreams.
The speed at which they advanced this time was quite fast, so three hours passed, and Su Zi, who had been constantly guarding the surroundings, did not find any abnormalities, but there was still no sign of waking up, it seemed that the next part of the road was really not ordinary tricky, she continued to concentrate, and when her divine consciousness inadvertently swept a certain fork in the road in front of her, the sudden appearance of unfamiliar divine consciousness made her stunned.
Although after a second, she had realized that this divine consciousness belonged to that strange competitor, but just a second, it made her lose the best opportunity, when she wanted to cut off this path, she also noticed that her other party had flashed in front of her with a speed beyond her imagination, I don't know if it was the sickle or the spear weapon that revealed a cold killing intent, obviously Zixiao had already shot, but Su Zi couldn't understand how she was a beat slower than the other party, and at the same time as she swung her sword in the air, the tip of the spear had instantly picked up the mask on her face, the herring maskAt the same time as "Dang Chang" landed, the cold sweat on Su Zi's forehead slowly slid down to the weapon that was stopping in front of her throat.
Then, she heard a voice that was particularly surprised.
"What's the matter?"
Su Zi then set her eyes on the person opposite who could harvest her life at any time, and her surprise was not much worse than that of the other party, because the other party was actually a woman, and it was a woman who could be seen at a glance although she was wearing men's clothes.
"Hmm...... you actually used divination to get all the way here?" The woman's gaze fell on Ce, who was still sleeping behind Su Zi.
Su Zi stared at her vigilantly, she didn't dare to speak now, let alone make any movements, not only because the other party's weapon could penetrate her throat at any time, but also because she actually felt a rather terrible sense of oppression from the woman in front of her, this person in front of her was very strong, very strong!
Seeing that Su Zi didn't answer, the woman didn't care, she even suddenly withdrew her weapon, and the threat of death was not there, so Su Zi stopped in front of Ce's body half a beat slowly, "...... Who are you?"
"It doesn't hurt to tell you the name, my name is Chu Yi. Chu Yi looked at her, although he had withdrawn his weapon, but the coercion of the people had not diminished at all, "I can leave without doing anything, you can leave by yourself." (To be continued.) )
