Chapter 15: All Souls Academy
Looking ahead, the desert of death that exudes a desolate, bleak aura.
Xia Han took two steps forward with Xiao Huang in his arms, and then slowly put down Xiao Huang and slowly knelt down in front of the place where the old man had just stood.
"Knock, knock, knock,"
Three kowtows sounded one after another, Xia Han got up and patted the dirt on his knees, then picked up Xiao Huang and walked slowly towards the Desert of Death, which was not far ahead.
As he walked, he said to Xiao Huang in his arms:
"For the rest of the matter, everything is on our own, but don't worry, I'll protect you. ”
After listening to Xia Han's words, Xiao Huang in his arms looked contemptuous, glanced at Xia Han with eyes as beautiful as the sea of stars, and then demonstratively showed his front paws.
"Ahem, just kidding. ”
Looking at Xiao Huang's paws, Xia Han remembered the days when he was dominated by Xiao Huang again, so he smiled awkwardly.
In the desert of death.
Xia Han, who embraced the small wilderness, walked slowly.
At first, Xia Han was still a little afraid of the barren sand flying under his feet and in the sky, but then Xia Han found that this barren sand, which has a scorching vitality and soul effect, has no way to face the shield left by his grandfather.
So Xia Han also walked unhurriedly, at the beginning, Xia Han would also look at the surrounding scenery, but everywhere he saw, it was all barren sand, and there was no life.
In this way, Xia Han is concentrating on walking.
Three days later, at noon, the sun was shining.
Looking at the looming wall-type buildings in front of him, Xia Han knew that the end of this desert of death was finally coming.
"Whew, it's finally here, and in that desert of death, it's really humiliating to death. ”
Xia Han, who was standing under the city wall, looked down at the ground under his feet, felt the infinite vitality coming from the earth, and said happily.
Although he has the shield left by his grandfather, the barren sand can't help himself, but the desert of death exudes a kind of death aura everywhere, which really affects the mind.
However, Xia Han found that Xiao Huang in his arms had been sleeping and did not seem to be affected in any way.
"Who is under the city?"
Just as Xia Han sighed, there was an angry shout from the city wall.
Hearing the cheers coming from the city wall, Xia Han also suddenly woke up to the fact that he was now in the Qianyuan Continent, no longer a small village that had no quarrel with the world, and he did not have the protection of his grandfather beside him.
So, Xia Han looked up at the city wall.
There are dozens of people on the city wall, standing in armor and holding spears, and in front of those dozens of people there is a middle-aged man with a long sword in one hand.
"At the beginning of the Yuanque Realm," Xia Han's gaze stayed on the middle-aged man's body, and he thought in his heart:
"I didn't expect that this person who defended the city only had the cultivation of the Yuanque Realm. ”
When Xia Han's gaze met with the gaze of the middle-aged man holding the long sword, the man didn't care what Xia Han was thinking, but said sharply again:
"Who's under the wall, whence is from? ”
When the man spoke, he was also terrified in his heart, after all, this was the city they were guarding, and not far from the city was the desert of death.
And now, the young boy who seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old was standing under the city wall unscathed, and he didn't know whether he was friend or foe.
Although the man also thought at first that he was a resident of the city who had escaped from the city, then the man rejected this idea, not to mention that there were guards at the city gates, even if there were no guards guarding them, no one would run out to find death.
Therefore, that young man could only come from the Desert of Death, but it was a Desert of Death that even the great cultivators of the Que Hai Realm could not safely cross, how could such an immature young man be possible.
Not to mention that I have never heard of people living on the other side of this desert of death.
Seeing the frightened expression of the middle-aged man, Xia Han was about to say that he came from the wild forest.
But then he held back, after all, this desert of death made these people so afraid, not to mention the wild forest that even his own grandfather was extremely afraid of.
And looking at it like this, they may not even know about the existence of the Wild Forest, if it is because of this, it will be worth the loss to be captured as a monster.
"Then if I say, I somehow got here, I don't know if they believe it or not. ”
"Well, I don't believe it myself,"
"If you don't break in, he won't be able to beat me anyway. ”
"Then I will be regarded as an intruder who doesn't know where to go? ”
"What can I do about this, grandpa didn't make it clear before he came. ”
At this time, Xia Han was also stumped by this problem, as if no matter what, his results would not be too good.
But just when Xia Han didn't know what to do, he felt the little desolate in his arms turn over lazily, and then Xia Han was surprised:
"I almost forgot about this little ancestor. ”
Thinking of this, Xia Han put Xiao Huang, who was still asleep, on the cold ground.
After a while, Xiao Huang opened his eyes with a puzzled face, then stood up and looked viciously at Xia Han, who was several times taller than himself behind him.
"This damn human dares to disturb his sleep. ”
Xia Han naturally saw it, and the emotions emanating from Xiao Huang's eyes like a sea of stars immediately shook his head awkwardly and pointed to the city wall with his finger.
Xiao Huang looked in the direction of Xia Han's finger, then turned his head and looked at Xia Han with a questioning face, as if asking Xia Han:
"Do you want the beast to settle them? ”
Xia Han naturally saw Xiao Huang's question, and then nodded heavily.
Seeing Xia Han's nod, Xiao Huang raised his head arrogantly, and looked at Xia Han with contempt in his eyes, as if to say:
"Such a weak human should disturb the beast's sleep. ”
But then, Xiao Huang still turned his head, looked at the city wall, and said charmingly:
"Whew,"
The appearance of Xiao Huang, the middle-aged man on the city wall himself also saw it, but in the eyes of the middle-aged man, a snow-white, cat-sized beast was naturally not as important as Xia Han.
However, with Xiao Huang's voice, everyone on the city wall felt that their hearts were soft, and then they couldn't help but look at the snow-white beast.
Seeing that the people on the city wall were all looking at him, Xiao Huang also turned his head and glanced at Xia Han proudly, and then looked back at the city wall again, blinking slowly.
With Xiao Huang's blink, Xia Han found that the people on the city wall were all glazed.
Then Xia Han heard it, and the man with the long sword in his hand said emotionlessly:
"Close the great array of the city and open the city gates. ”
Then Xia Han was pleasantly surprised, and there seemed to be a strange energy on the periphery of the city wall that disappeared, and the city gate slowly opened.
Seeing that the city gate was wide open, Xia Han hurriedly picked up Xiao Huang and rushed towards the city gate with all his strength.
Xia Han wasn't sure how long Xiao Huang's charm would last, so he naturally wanted to run into the city as fast as possible, and later it would change.
After counting the interest,
Xia Han hugged Xiao Huang and walked leisurely on the streets of the city, looking at everything around him curiously, and rejoicing in his heart:
"I didn't expect that there was a big array to protect the city, no wonder the generals defending the city were only cultivating in the Yuanque realm, but fortunately they didn't break through. ”
Xia Han thought that there was an existence of a large array to protect the city, so this general defending the city was just a Yuanque realm cultivator.
But he didn't know that the greatest function of this city was to defend against the desert of death, and no one had ever appeared outside this city, and he was the only exception.
When Xia Han walked on the streets of the city, he was on the city wall dozens of meters away.
"Whoever let you open the gates of the city, if you don't close them quickly, and the sand drifts in, can you afford it?"
The middle-aged man with the long sword in his hand shouted angrily with a blank expression.
And the dozens of people around the man were also at a loss, not knowing what was going on, and they didn't remember who opened the city gate, but they still pressed the button, the city gate slowly closed, and the city protection array also opened in an instant.
Everything was business as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Xia Han didn't care about what was happening in the back, but hugged Xiaohuang in his arms and looked curiously at the surrounding doorways one after another.
"Hey, have you heard that the Ten Thousand Souls Academy is going to come to us this year to recruit students. ”
"Really, we're from the backwoods. ”
"I don't know if it's true or not, if only I was chosen, then I could also become a cultivator. ”
"Stop dreaming. ”
"Hey, hey, shopkeeper, can this be a little less, how about ten dollars,"
“......”
“......”
There are bustling people walking on the streets, and from time to time there are bursts of conversation, and the sound of bargains when buying things is really lively.
Walking in the crowd, Xia Han didn't pay attention to the chatter around him, but walked directly to a stall, holding Xiao Huang with one hand, and picking up a pine nut-like thing from the stall with the other and putting it in his mouth.
"Guest officer, it's delicious, buy a little, it's very cheap, twenty dollars a bag. ”
"Money, what's it?" Grandpa didn't tell me,"
Hearing the money in the stall owner's mouth, Xia Han found that he didn't seem to have it, and Xia Han was just about to ask out loud, when he noticed that the pedestrians on the street were hurrying towards the street.
I also heard the sound of discussion coming from all around.
"Let's go, let's go, the Academy of All Souls has really come to recruit disciples. ”
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze. ”
“......”
In this regard, Xia Han was also curious to follow the flow of people to the street.
On the street, Xia Han was mixed in the crowd with Xiao Huang in his arms, looking at a high platform in front of him, Xiao Huang also woke up from the noise around him, and looked around curiously.
On the high platform, a man and a woman stand side by side, both dressed in black robes and wearing a badge with a sword on their chests.
Then, facing the noisy crowd, Xia Han saw the man on the high platform slowly raise his hands, press them down, and said loudly:
"Everyone be quiet, it's time for our Ten Thousand Souls Academy to accept disciples every three years.
The academy sent us here to look for disciples who could have the opportunity to become cultivators, so everyone who is confident and under the age of twenty can come to the stage for the test.
Of course, it is not that if you succeed in the test, you will definitely become a disciple of this college, and after you arrive at the academy, there will be another selection.
So, let's get started, this is the Ying Yuan lamp, and you just have to go up on stage and put your hands on it, and the light will be on, and the test will pass,"
With that, the man took a lamp from the woman's hand.
