Volume 3, Visiting the Ancient and Seeking Immortals Chapter 2 The Practitioner is a Layman
The car kept jolting in the mountain road, and in the continuous shaking, Lu Yi slowly opened his eyes, and he looked left and right to find that Shen Yixue and Yu Toad were also in the car, and there were still a few people sitting in this van, but these people did not have watches, and they should be the aborigines of the world.
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, because it was a competitive cooperation model, so he didn't even need to introduce each other? Thinking about it, he looked out the window and saw that the car was driving on a rocky mountain road.
Into the mountains? This is to send the protagonist directly to us, Lu Yi and Shen Yixue glanced at each other in surprise.
Soon the car stopped in a flat open space, Lu Yi got out of the car with his backpack, and saw some people with watches gathered in twos and threes, obviously it should be the rest of the practitioners of this experience.
Seeing this situation, Lu Yi also pulled Shen Yixue and Yu Toad, and said on the team channel after walking to a no-man's corner, "Get ready, it looks like the mission is going to go to the grave at the beginning." ”
"Oh." Yu Toad nodded indifferently, while Shen Yixue looked a little uneasy, "Lu Yi, won't you meet zongzi when you go to the tomb for the first time." Either we go and settle the situation with the aborigines, otherwise we won't have time to go to the grave in a while. ”
"No, you don't." Lu Yi shook his head, "I have observed before, although the road up the mountain is not well repaired, it is indeed built by man, which means that this place is not too remote. The sun hadn't set yet, and it wasn't time for the action to begin. ”
"As for the zongzi?" Lu Yi said this and smiled, "Even if there are zongzi, with me and Yu Toad, I will definitely not be able to make any waves." ”
"Zongzi?" Yu Toad, who was in a daze, immediately came back to her senses when she heard the zongzi, she blinked and looked at Lu Yi, "Is there a zongzi here?" Sweet or salty? What's in the bread? ”
Shen Yixue covered her face speechlessly, and Lu Yi couldn't help laughing directly for a while, he couldn't help but be glad that he didn't talk directly, if Yu Chan suddenly said such a sentence, wouldn't it attract everyone's attention.
"Jade toad, the zongzi we are talking about are not for eating." Lu Yi touched the head of the jade toad and explained slowly, after some explanation, the jade toad finally understood that the zongzi that Lu Yi said was a monster, but she still didn't understand why the monster was called zongzi.
At this moment, a van stopped in the open space, and the protagonist of this training world, that is, Xu Tianyi, walked down with a few people, and then those people came to the center of the open space with their backpacks.
At the moment when Xu Tianyi appeared, the guards around him all looked at him, and two people walked directly towards Xu Tianyi. Originally, Shen Yixue was also eager to try, but Lu Yi pulled her back.
Lu Yi put his arm around Shen Yixue's shoulders and whispered in her ear, "The backpack that this Xu Tianyi is carrying is lighter than the people in the same car, and his physical fitness is obviously not good.
He doesn't have a strong momentum, and he stays for about the same amount of time when his gaze sweeps over everyone, proving that he hasn't experienced anything like that, and he hasn't yet developed a pair of vicious eyes, so he can't quickly find someone worth paying attention to, and he should be a weak protagonist.
This kind of protagonist can't provide much help in the early stage, instead of running over and dealing with it inexplicably now, it's better to show his ability and let him get to know us. ”
Shen Yixue pinched Lu Yi lightly, and at the same time said in a low voice, "Then you should also have a good relationship with him." Look at this posture of 14 experienced practitioners and 4 teams, if you go late, others will take the lead. And with the protagonist, you can turn evil into good fortune, so there's no reason not to make friends. ”
The protagonist turns evil into good fortune? That's not easy to say, Lu Yi grinned, he still remembers the first time he practiced, the protagonist who dreamed that whoever died would be attacked.
"It doesn't matter, even if they make friends first. Anyway, the final ranking doesn't matter who has a good relationship with Xu Tianyi. Lu Yi said as the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "As for what you said about turning evil into good fortune, we can do it even if we have a jade toad here." ”
When Yu Toad heard Lu Yi calling her name, she immediately raised her head blankly, and when she saw Shen Yixue and Lu Yi standing together, she hurriedly walked a few steps and squeezed Lu Yi's side.
Lu Yi smiled and patted Jade Toad's head gently, while Shen Yixue looked at Jade Toad in disbelief, but she still obeyed Lu Yi's words.
However, Lu Yi didn't go to Xu Tianyi here, and Xu Tianyi took the initiative to go to Lu Yi's side after having an inexplicable conversation with two active practitioners.
Seeing this scene, the captains of the other three teams narrowed their eyes one after another, with a hint of ruthlessness in their eyes.
Xu Tianyi smiled at Lu Yi, "You are the organizer of this event." ”
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Lu Yi was slightly stunned. How could the other party think that he was the organizer, but in the next second, Lu Yi's eyes flashed and he already knew in his heart, in fact, the reason was very simple, Lu Yi was hugging Shen Yixue at this time, and there was a jade toad standing tightly beside him, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like he was on the ground.
After figuring out the reason for the misunderstanding, Lu Yi did not speak immediately, but gave Shen Yixue a look.
Shen Yixue immediately understood, she smiled at Xu Tianyi, "No, we are not organizers. ”
Xu Tianyi looked at Lu Yi and the others in surprise, and the rest of the practitioners also lost interest when they heard this, after all, it was just a misunderstanding, and there was nothing worth noting.
Seeing that Shen Yixue was a little enthusiastic and wanted to continue talking, Lu Yi hurriedly pulled Shen Yixue into his arms, "Do you have anything else?" Lu Yi said very unhappily to Xu Tianyi.
"No, no." Xu Tianyi was slightly embarrassed, and he hurriedly walked away after speaking.
Shen Yixue's face was slightly red, she glanced at Lu Yi and said softly, "Lu Yi, did you deliberately drive him away so that you could take advantage of me." ”
"No, I don't. I really need to get rid of him. We don't know anything about the situation now, in case Xu Tianyi has a lot of heart, how dangerous it is after saying a word, why do I still take you with me, how do I know if what he said is right, how should I answer, if he himself remembers wrong, I nodded again, wouldn't it be doubted by the real organizers. ”
Shen Yixue nodded and said with some annoyance, "Indeed, if you say too much, you will lose, how did I forget this." After she finished speaking, she looked around and said with some embarrassment, "Then now that everyone else is watching, what should I do in this situation." ”
Lu Yi glanced at the people who looked like they were watching a good show, and they also frowned, he thought about it and said in a low voice on the team channel, "I think we should go farther away and come back after a while." ”
"This." Shen Yixue glanced at Lu Yi, "It's not good, don't say what others think of you and me, it's very inappropriate to just leave the jade toad here, it's not good if you miss important information." If you give me a kiss, that's the end of it. ”
"Is that okay?" Lu Yi was a little surprised.
Shen Yixue nodded and hummed inaudibly.
Lu Yi hugged Shen Yixue and the two slowly approached, and at this moment, several people ran out from the side of the woods, and one of the middle-aged men smiled, "It seems that everyone has arrived." ”
Hearing this voice, Lu Yi and Shen Yixue were startled, and then immediately separated. The crowd who had come to see the excitement suddenly let out a sigh of regret.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Shen Yixue immediately blushed and hid behind Lu Yi, and Lu Yi straightened his chest and scanned everyone viciously, looking like a lion patrolling his territory.
The jade toad, who was standing outside Lu Yi's wandering object, naturally suffered the baptism of gaze, she suddenly shook her head and then looked around blankly.
After finding that so many people were looking at this side, she looked at Lu Yi, and then she crossed her waist and pouted to look at those people, which was a bit of Lu Yi's posture, but the momentum was much worse.
Shen Yixue was hiding behind Lu Yi and pretending to be an ostrich, but when she saw the appearance of the jade toad, she couldn't help but laugh directly.
She hammered Lu Yi's back, "Did you just wait for this opportunity to take revenge on going out and flirting." ”
"Where?" Lu Yi naturally denied it.
As soon as the middle-aged man walked over, he felt a somewhat strange atmosphere at the scene, and he frowned and asked an aborigine, "Guo Qiang, what's going on." ”
The man known as Guo Qiang took a few steps towards the middle-aged man, and then the two began to exchange words.
Guo Qiang first described what happened before, and then couldn't help but complain, "Shopkeeper Xu, it's not me who complains. Look at who these people are, these dozen people, there is no earthiness on them, they are obviously laymen.
Especially those three people, they have the leisure to do that kind of thing at this time, especially those two women, their eyes are not sharp, there is no momentum on their bodies, I am afraid they have not even done other black work. How can such a team be successful. ”
The middle-aged man reassured Guo Qiang again and again, "Guo Qiang, you have to understand what we are looking for them for."
This time we went down to a king's tomb, and there are some weird rumors about the tomb owner, looking for these people who don't know the doorway, first, there are many people to deter evil, and second, they don't understand anything, and it is much easier to trick them into acting as cannon fodder when necessary. ”
It's a pity that the middle-aged man didn't know that the dozen or so people they talked about were all experienced practitioners. While the two were talking, the four teams used their own tricks to eavesdrop on their conversations.
After obtaining the dialogue information between Guo Qiang and the two from Yu Toad, Lu Yi had some understanding of their identities, and felt that they were dispensable laymen.
Guo Qiang and the middle-aged man talked a few more words, and finally the two discussed it properly, and the middle-aged man walked to the middle and said, "Wait until 9 o'clock and we will start to break ground, if anyone wants to stay outside, you can say now, this is the last chance." ”
As he spoke, he deliberately looked at Lu Yi and other practitioners.
As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, an experienced practitioner preemptively said, "The brothers are all running for money, how can they retreat at this time." ”
The other two squads also echoed, and the middle-aged man smiled and nodded, then looked at Lu Yi's squad.
Seeing this, Lu Yi smiled, "Hehe." Presumably, the underground also has a unique charm, so I naturally have no reason to quit. ”
The middle-aged man frowned, then nodded, "Since that's the case, I'll tell you about it." ”
