Chapter 7: The Afterglow
Shi Mingming is a three-star student in the junior class of Guangling Auxiliary College.
There are three levels of college classes, beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
The primary three-star means that you can skillfully use the three primary spells, and the master is obviously practicing the three types of control, attack and healing.
The main healing of the wood attribute is a compulsory law of the college, and the other branches are minors.
As long as the beginner class reaches three stars, that is, after being able to use the three primary methods proficiently, you can take the exam for the intermediate class.
After becoming proficient in the use of the three advanced methods, you can take the exam for the advanced class.
When you are proficient in using a 1-star method, you will be able to graduate from the academy.
It sounds very simple, but only a true cultivator can experience the hardships.
The questions of the promotion exam are different each time, and the topic of this promotion exam is to go deep into the sunset forest and record the location of the afterglow stone with the record crystal.
"Obviously, do you know why our exam this time is to record the afterglow?"
Next to Shi Mingming, a little girl with a short head and fair skin asked while hurrying.
"Why?"
Shi Mingming's face was puzzled, and he turned his head to look at the little partner on the other side, and saw that the other party was also confused.
The little girl's face flushed, and she said triumphantly:
"My grandfather said that a master of the Sun Temple was injured not long ago and urgently needed the Afterglow Stone to heal his wounds, so the United Academy formulated this task to let us record the location of the Afterglow Stone as an exam question. ”
This little girl is called Shangyan, and his grandfather is in politics and is a one-star master of the Guangling Auxiliary Academy.
Don't look at the old man's realm, but because he is knowledgeable enough, in the academy, he holds the position of vice president, and Shang Yan, as the granddaughter of the vice president, is naturally well-informed.
Shi Ming was shocked when he heard this, and his face was full of suspicion.
"Zuo Fengshuai, have you heard about this?"
Shang Yan saw that the master was obviously not convinced, and then asked their other companion, Zuo Fengshuai's father was their healing bishop, Zuo Yi.
Zuo Fengshuai scratched his head and recalled with a confused face.
"I haven't heard my dad say it, but since your grandfather said it, it must be true. ”
When Shangyan heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, and raised his chin to Shi Mingming, with a beautiful expression.
The group of three chatted and slowly separated from the large army and drilled deeper into the forest.
After running for about half an hour, Shangyan was the first to lose his strength and asked to rest in place.
The three of them took out the spirit stones they had brought with them at home and shared them with each other, and began to replenish their strength.
"We'll go deeper for another hour and then find a high hill. After the record is completed, you can return before daylight."
Shi Mingming sat cross-legged on the ground, took a sip of water, handed the water cup to Zuo Fengshuai, and told the two of them his plan.
After the three of them were silent for a while, Shi Mingming suddenly asked:
"Have you ever seen the Great Sun Fire Phoenix?"
As soon as Shi Mingming's words opened, he attracted the interest of the two friends.
"I haven't seen it, but my dad told me about it. ”
Zuo Fengshuai said with a smug face.
"My dad said that the Great Sun Fire Phoenix is a super fierce beast left over from ancient times, absorbing the afterglow of the sunset every day, and its strength is particularly powerful, even if the six-star master fights her, don't even think about catching it!"
Shi Mingming and Shangyan both looked at Zuo Fengshuai with envy, feeling that he knew that these were particularly powerful.
"It's so powerful, I want to see it!"
Shi Mingming listened to Zuo Fengshuai's narration, said with a look of longing, and then glanced at the two friends and asked:
"Don't you want to see it?"
Shang Yan muttered in a tangled face:
"My grandfather said that after recording the afterglow, he hurried back, and Mr. Zuo said the same. ”
Zuo Fengshuai also nodded in agreement, and both of them objected to Shi Mingming's proposal to be exported.
Shi Ming sighed exaggeratedly and said in a rough air:
"Okay!"
--------------
The west gate of Guangling City, at this moment, the city gate has been in chaos.
The vice president of the Guangling Auxiliary Academy, the master of Shangzheng, paced back and forth with a worried face.
Teacher Zuo Yi on the side, watching Master Shangzheng walking around in front of him, was also anxious, and said:
"Master, we can't wait any longer, those three children haven't come back yet, something must have happened. Let's go and find it, if you don't pass the assessment, it doesn't matter, what if something happens! "
"As I said, how can you let these children do such a dangerous thing, you just don't listen to me!"
Next to the two of them, an elderly woman was poking her fingers at the head of Master Shangzheng, counting them all the time.
"Hurry up and get my granddaughter back, or I won't be able to get around you!"
"Yes! Yes, but the sun is about to set, let's go have a fart! One star, one enters the WTO, if we really meet the Great Sun Fire Phoenix, it doesn't matter if we die, the key is that this person can't be saved!"
As Master Shangzheng was talking, he saw a streamer of light flash in the city, and it fell in front of the three people in the blink of an eye, this is a middle-aged man who looks about 40 years old.
This person is the son of Master Shangzheng, the city lord of Guangling City.
The upper reaches glanced at Master Shangzheng and Teacher Zuo Yi, and the three of them didn't say much, and their hearts were like a rhino, and they rushed into the sunset forest in the west at the same time.
Upstream, as the city lord of Guangling City, his cultivation is extremely strong, and he is already in the realm of a 4-star master, looking at his father with an anxious face, although he is also worried in his heart, he still speaks and comforts:
"Father don't worry, I've already informed the division to come and help, he will be there later, the children will be fine. ”
"That's good! It would be great to have the help of the teacher. ”
--------------
The mountains were dressed in the color of the sunset, and the white clouds on the horizon became as bright red as blood.
The sun was like a big golden disc, and at this moment, he retracted the dazzling light, hovering on the skyline, and it would set at any time.
Suddenly, a loud phoenix chirped out, and a big bird bathed in flames suddenly rose into the air, flying up and down freely in the afterglow of the sun.
The long tail of fire dragged behind him, making a crackling sound, and as the sun fell, behind the Great Sun Fire Phoenix, a small sun condensed by the sun's divine power slowly rose up, shining on the nearby mountains, showing its might.
Countless afterglow stones, reflecting the divine power of the sun, intertwined a beam network in the sky that covered the sky and the sun.
The Great Sun Fire Phoenix was bathed in this sun divine power, and his face was intoxicated.
He has lived for more than 5,000 years, because only at sunset every day can he cultivate the power of the sun, so after more than 5,000 years, he has only a point in the survey, and he wants to break through the sign of the seven-star fierce beast.
In the early years, he didn't dare to appear in front of humans at all, but after the shemale war thousands of years ago, the strong men fell one after another, so he dared to swagger out and occupy the mountain as the king.
Although there are only seven stars, in this Sun Tribe, it can be regarded as the top strength.
In addition, the seven-star powerhouse of the fierce beast is far more powerful than the seven-star of the human race, so it becomes even more unscrupulous.
After absorbing the power of the sun, the Great Sun Fire Phoenix was about to turn around and return, and suddenly, within the range of spiritual power, three slight spiritual power fluctuations slowly came.
"It is not small that a human being has set foot on my territory at this time, so weak. ”
The Great Sun Fire Phoenix was furious, and he felt insulted!
In the past, the humans who passed by his territory, he turned a blind eye, but it made these humans feel that he was a bully, and now he dared to come to disturb him when he was cultivating, and he had to teach them a lesson today.
Thinking of this, the Great Sun Fire Phoenix waved its wings, and a fireball filled with a violent aura had already appeared out of thin air, resisting the storm.
Where the fireball appeared, the space around it was distorted.
This fireball, carrying the power of rage, flew head-on in the direction of Master Shangzheng and the others.
With the acceleration of the fireball, the space through which the flames slashed was cut out by this terrifying force, and the entire space was filled with a solemn aura.
Shi Mingming and the three of them watched the sun drift overhead, but they hadn't found the afterglow stone yet, and they were very anxious.
"What can I do, we've been looking for so long, and we haven't seen any afterglow, so it seems that we can't pass this assessment."
Shang Yan said, sat on the ground, and grumbled with a gloomy face.
"Don't play with Miss's temper, okay, hurry up and find it, the three of us, six eyes, we will definitely be able to find it!"
"Hey, look at that!"
Zuo Fengshuai pointed to a mountain peak opposite the three of them and shouted loudly.
Shi Mingming and Shangyan looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that on the opposite peak, halfway up the mountainside, next to a huge dry branch, on the edge of a small cave, there were dots and dots of shining stones, bright and blind.
"That should be the Afterglowstone, record it."
Looking at those glittering stones, Shi Ming knew that he had found the right place, and hurriedly beckoned his friends to record.
But as soon as this memory crystal was struck, it felt that something was wrong.
"No, we're too far away, we can only see the reflection, and we can't tell if it's really an afterglow!"
This time it can make them anxious, and the three of them discussed, anyway, it was just past noon, and it was still far from the time for the Great Sun Fire Phoenix to come out of the mountain to cultivate.
Wouldn't it be better to climb to the opposite hill and record it up close?
If you're lucky, you might even be able to collect a few and bring them home.
After discussing it, the three of them hurried in the direction of the mountain.
This mountain looks very close, but it is different when you walk, especially when there are some low-level spirit beasts on the road from time to time.
Although the strength of these spirit beasts is not strong, they are dealt with one by one, which really slows down the progress of several people.
Although it was a low-level spirit beast, it was not a small trouble for the three of them to encounter it.
Simply, along the way, when they saw the spirit beast, they used the small body swapping technique in the wood system law to avoid the battle with the spirit beast.
This small body swapping technique, although it is only a beginner technique, is particularly practical, as long as you select a plant to cast an attack, you can teleport to any other plant within a hundred yards nearby, which is perfect for avoiding battle.
The three little ones who have tried and tested again and again have encountered hard stubble this time.
A large, black lizard covered in grave grass.
"What kind of monster beast is this? It can actually disrupt the space jump of the small body swap technique!"
The three of them were lying side by side on the back of the big lizard.
