Chapter Twenty-Six: The Burden-Bearing Chase

With the old man's order, countless teenagers grabbed their sandbags and carried them on their shoulders at the same time, like a flood that had opened the floodgates, and squeezed towards the mountain road. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Both sides of the mountain road were full of low bushes, and the road was just wide enough to accommodate ten people side by side, and at the beginning, many thin teenagers were staggered by other people, and their bodies could not help themselves, and they were either squeezed down on the side of the road, or fell into the bushes, and a few who were unlucky even fell directly in the middle of the road.

Fortunately, in order to prevent being tripped by these people, the other teenagers did not step on them, but picked a place to settle down, and only three or five people were also squeezed into unstable shape, and they really couldn't find a place to stay, so they were forced to step on one or two feet on these people.

When the old man saw the Xuanshui Sect disciples beside him, he didn't show a surprised expression on his face, let alone the slightest intention to stop or rescue.

Zhao Lengfei stood at the back of the team unhurriedly, looking coldly at the group of teenagers in front of him squeezing around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his sandbag was still on the ground on the side, and he had no intention of picking it up.

He didn't have the heart to work so hard at the beginning, if he didn't have special skills, let alone a weight, even if he could run thirty miles of mountain roads with his empty hands, there were not many teenagers.

Of course, some teenagers do have the ability to run all the way to the finish line, and Zhao Lengfei can also do this, but at the beginning of this time, the road was too crowded, except for a few teenagers who were originally at the front of the team who might run at their own pace, other teenagers could only go through left and right to overtake others, and they didn't know how much physical strength they would waste in vain, so Zhao Lengfei would not do such a stupid thing.

There are also many teenagers who have the same idea as Zhao Lengfei, so the teenagers who ran with all their might at the beginning were only about a quarter of the total number, and when these teenagers who ran as hard as they could at the beginning were all on the road, those teenagers who planned to run and jog began to set off.

Not to mention the strength of the second batch of teenagers, their minds are certainly not bad, they understand their own strength and the difficulty of this assessment, although they don't want to be taken advantage of by others, but at the beginning squeezing around with others is definitely a waste of physical strength, and the gains outweigh the losses, so after the first batch of teenagers are all on the road, these teenagers start to act.

This group of teenagers is the largest, probably accounting for more than half of the total number, when they set off three or five people side by side, the people are very tacitly between people to retain a gap of half a step, and the distance between the front and back is also two or three steps, so that they do not affect each other, those teenagers who have fallen to the ground and have not yet gotten up are bypassed by them one by one, without any impact on their travel speed.

Among them, if there is a teenager who wants to surpass his predecessors, he only needs to move half a step left and right slightly, and he can accelerate between the two people in front of him, but there are not many people who do this, and the vast majority of teenagers think that they just need to keep a steady speed and wait for others to slow down.

After the second batch of teenagers went on the road, there were only about 400 teenagers left in the open space who had not moved, and more than 30 of them were not nervous at all like Zhao Lengfei, looking at the mountain road with a smile on their faces, these more than 30 teenagers were confident enough in their strength.

As for the rest of the more than 300 teenagers, they all had the opposite expression, they all had sad faces, even frustration and despair, these people had no more to say running after putting sandbags on their backs, it was very difficult to even walk, God knows how they passed the registration review, they had no need to continue to participate in the assessment at all, they could only abstain directly.

At this moment, the eyes of the old man and the other Xuanshui Sect disciples began to sweep over the last remaining group of teenagers, and the meaning they wanted to express was obvious: If you can go, hurry up, now there is no one in the way, and if you don't leave, you will be regarded as abstaining.

Zhao Lengfei grabbed the sandbag on the ground and carried it on his shoulder, and the other thirty or so teenagers with the same relaxed faces as him also carried sandbags on their backs and walked towards the mountain road unhurriedly.

Zhao Lengfei walked at the back of these dozens of teenagers, and there were dozens of teenagers around him who had difficulty walking after carrying sandbags, because they didn't want to abstain, these teenagers could only grit their teeth and reluctantly move their feet.

Zhao Lengfei didn't care about these teenagers around him at all, not to mention that these people surpassed him, and it was unknown whether they could walk a small half of the distance, so Zhao Lengfei didn't pay much attention to these people around him.

The more than thirty teenagers in front of him were different, everyone looked very strong, Zhao Lengfei looked at the teenagers in front of him one by one as he walked, and as soon as he looked at the people closest to him, he found a familiar back.

The Tsing Yi was the Nan Guo brother he had seen at the North City Gate when he entered the city, according to what he heard at the time, the younger brother of the two should be named Nan Guo Yan, Zhao Lengfei focused his attention on Nan Guo Yan.

Nan Guoyan's height should be second to none among fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers, about one meter eight, taller than some adults, and few of these teenagers can surpass him in height.

He was wearing a well-fitting green suit, with a thin waist and a back, his back looked very strong, his long hair was tied, and his exposed neck was extremely fair, and Zhao Lengfei could still see part of his face when he turned his face occasionally. Nan Guo Yan's face was angular and his eyebrows were sharp, and Zhao Lengfei guessed that Nan Guo Yan's appearance must be extremely outstanding from only seeing part of the side face.

At this moment, Nan Guoyan walked unhurriedly in the crowd, the position was not very high, he kept looking left and right at the other teenagers around him, most of them he glanced by, only a few people, Nan Guoyan's gaze really paused on them for a while.

Zhao Lengfei had been paying attention to Nan Guoyan's every move, and he could see that the people Nan Guoyan cared about were a pair of twin brothers and sisters in white, a handsome young man in blue and a young man in black with a similar figure to Nan Guoyan.

These four people, like Nan Guoyan, have relaxed and confident faces, this kind of expression can't be pretended, only really powerful people will inadvertently show this kind of expression.

Zhao Lengfei should also have this kind of expression, but now it is hidden by him, it is difficult for ordinary people not to see it, after all, in addition to showing his true feelings when he is by his parents' grandfather's side over the years, he will always have that cold and indifferent expression at other times, and he has become accustomed to using his cold face to cover up all his thoughts.

"These five people are not simple, although they didn't speak to each other, but they all looked at each other with a hostility and attention, they should be the strongest in this assessment, maybe they are all from the Xiuzhen family." Zhao Lengfei looked at these people one by one and thought in his heart.

Because Zhao Lenghai's position was relatively backward, Nan Guoyan and other teenagers didn't notice him, and the glance back was full of that kind of disdainful gaze, thinking that Zhao Lengfei was classified as the kind of teenager who couldn't run and was still holding on.

After Zhao Lengfei and the others were on the road, the old man began to arrange for someone to pick up the teenagers who had fallen on the road and on the side of the road, and treat them.

At that time, there were more than 30 teenagers who fell, and about a dozen of them fell to the ground without any injuries, so they got up when the second group of teenagers set off and continued on the road.

Most of the remaining teenagers who fell to the ground were seriously injured because they were trampled on by others, and they could no longer continue to participate in the assessment.

The people who stayed in the open space saw that the young people who had participated in the assessment were gradually moving away, and they began to talk in groups again.

Seeing this, Qiu Jizi, the master of the outer gate on the stands, said again: "Friends, the first two items of this assessment will last for three days, during which please return to the city and wait patiently, three days later, you will see the results, of course, for those who do not pass the assessment, I Xuanshuimen will be responsible for sending them back to the city, you should return to the city now." ”

At the beginning of more than a mile, Zhao Lengfei and more than 30 teenagers in front of him walked over like this, even if they were just walking slowly, they gradually distanced themselves from the teenagers around him who had difficulty walking with sandbags on their backs.

After walking more than one mile at the beginning, more than 30 people in front of Zhao Lengfei faintly formed a team, because no one wanted to be left behind, so this team gradually turned from walking to jogging, and began to surpass the teenagers in front of them one after another, wave after wave, so that after five or six miles of continuous progress, they exceeded more than half of the teenagers who participated in the assessment.

At this time, among the more than thirty teenagers, the most powerful people, the true level also began to be revealed, from the beginning to the present, there are only a dozen or so people left without any change in their faces, and among these ten or so people, five people such as Nan Guo Yan are the most conspicuous.

Even though the team of more than 30 people ran faster and faster, the five of them still breathed steadily and walked lightly, and the others were much worse than these five, and more than half of the teenagers could barely keep up with the pace of the team, and they had already begun to gasp for air.

Zhao Lengfei was twenty or thirty steps behind this team, and the teenagers in front of him only paid attention to the people around him and in front of him, so no teenager had noticed him at the back of the team.

After running another five or six miles, at this time the small half of the distance has been completed, and the people who can meet and surpass on the road are becoming fewer and fewer, and the teenagers who are overtaken by the team are gritting their teeth and persevering, moving forward with difficulty, the speed is very slow, and some teenagers have to sit on the side of the road to rest because of physical exhaustion.

The number of the team in front of Zhao Lengfei was also reduced by nearly half, only nineteen people remained, and the other dozen or so people were left behind one by one because they couldn't keep up with the team's footsteps.

The teenagers who were left behind and the few people at the back of the team finally noticed Zhao Lengfei who had been following behind, they saw that Zhao Lengfei was not old but his steps were light, his face was full of ease, and his jaws fell in surprise, if it weren't for the fact that they were all too short of breath to speak, I am afraid that they would have screamed out loud a long time ago.

It is not easy to run more than ten miles on the flat road in one breath, not to mention running on the mountain road with weights, now the nineteen teenagers in the team except for Nan Guoyan and the five people are already panting and sweating, Zhao Lengfei is also sweating a little, but he is not panting like other teenagers, this weight and distance are not difficult for him, and his breathing has just begun to speed up.

Zhao Lengfei estimated the number of people who had exceeded, there were almost two thousand three hundred, plus those teenagers who began to abstain, there were more than two thousand six hundred behind them, so there were still dozens of teenagers in front of them, and they had already run nearly half the distance, and there should be people in the team who couldn't help but want to get rid of the others.

Sure enough, as Zhao Lengfei expected, after the team continued to run forward for more than a mile, two more people began to be unable to keep up with the team's footsteps, Nan Guoyan in the team saw this, suddenly accelerated his pace, and rushed out of the team, he didn't forget to turn around and smile at the people behind him when he surpassed the other teenagers.

"Humph!" Seeing Nan Guoyan rushing out of the team, the other four teenagers who were noticed by Zhao Lengfei all snorted coldly, and rushed out of the team as if they were not to be outdone, and chased after Nan Guoyan.

When the remaining dozen or so teenagers in the team saw this scene, they all showed helplessness and wry smiles on their faces, and they all saw that the five people in front of them were extremely strong, and they must be people from the Xiuzhen family, and they knew that they couldn't catch up with Nan Guoyan and compete with the five people, so they could only watch the five people quickly disappear from sight.

Just as the teenagers lowered their heads and continued to jog, Zhao Lengfei quickly caught up with them and quickly overtook the dozen or so people.

Zhao Lengfei just ran away and disappeared, and another person came from behind, that person didn't seem to be carrying a sandbag, the speed was ridiculously fast, and more than a dozen teenagers didn't see what that person looked like, so he overtook him, and quickly disappeared from sight, and after the dozen or so teenagers looked at each other for a while, they could only keep their original speed and continue to run.

Zhao Lengfei didn't want to be targeted by those disciples of the Xiuzhen family, so he waited until Nan Guoyan disappeared from his sight before he began to speed up to catch up.

Zhao Lengfei didn't think that among the teenagers who participated in the assessment this time, only the five people he saw just now had strength, and the five of them should belong to the relatively low-key kind, and there must be guys who are extremely strong but use their best at the beginning.

He didn't want to attract attention, his father said that he could just play his normal strength, so that he could test how capable he was now and what position he was in among his peers.

Zhao Lengfei chased not far away, the road became steeper, and the road surface was much narrower, he overtook the people he saw in his sight one by one, and ran like this for a long time, still not seeing Nan Guoyan and others.

At this time, there was no one else on the road, the slope of the mountain road was almost thirty degrees, and it was extremely curved, it could almost be said to be seven steps, one turn, ten steps and one bend, such a mountain road made Zhao Lengfei unable to even run with all his strength, and he began to feel struggling.

After turning seven or eight corners in a row and not seeing anyone, Zhao Lengfei was a little anxious in his heart, and his steps involuntarily went up a little faster, his breathing finally began to become rapid, and his face was sweating.

According to his prediction, there is more than one mile ahead of the end, could it be that those people have already arrived? Now it shouldn't be possible for anyone to catch up with me again, all I can do is to catch up with one or two people as much as possible, but I haven't even seen the shadows of those people, and I'm already about to reach the end.

"It seems that I was indeed a little too big just now, and I should have accelerated with Nan Guoyan and a few people when I knew it." Zhao Lengfei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At this moment, the mountain road turned again, the front suddenly opened up, a very wide stone paved avenue appeared in front of Zhao Lengfei, the avenue is about five hundred steps long, ten zhang wide, at the end of the road is a hill seventy or eighty meters high, a row of black stone steps with the same width as the avenue leads directly to the top of the mountain, the stone steps have more than three hundred steps, and the ground is sixty degrees, very steep, on the top of the mountain, that is, at the end of the steps, there are many disciples of Xuanshuimen standing with their hands in their hands, looking at the situation below.

More than two hundred meters away from the end of the avenue, more than a dozen teenagers were chasing me towards the steps, Zhao Lengfei only glanced at it, and recognized that the most advanced one of the dozen teenagers was Nan Guoyan, who he had been chasing for a long time.

"I've finally caught up with you, anyway, my strength will be exposed sooner or later, it's better to fight and sprint to the finish line with all my might, so as to see how big the gap is between myself and the people of the Xiuzhen family." Thinking of this, he lifted his upper body and chased after him with all his strength.
