Chapter 148: Beneath the Abyss
Si Tu looked at the statues with a confused look, and did not withdraw his gaze until he was pulled into a narrow ice gap by Jiang Daoyou, and he could no longer see the statues.
She replied, "Jiang Daoyou, where are we going?" Those statues are suspicious, why don't you investigate them? ”
"The statue is not the key, the main thing is to break the formation. Maybe by unlocking the formation, you'll know what these statues mean. ”
Hearing this, Si Tu looked back, and the place he was in had fallen into darkness again, which made people feel frightened and very uneasy.
She stopped talking, sighed quietly, and finally swallowed the words back into her stomach.
Hearing Si Tu sigh, Jiang Daoyou, who was walking in front, turned around and said, "It's the first time for Xiao Zhang Daoyou to participate in this kind of trial, but you're scared?" ”
"I... Where am I scared, but doesn't Jiang Daoyou think it's strange? Si Tu looked at the reddened ice on both sides that were illuminated by the enchantment spirit, and said, "The purpose of the academy is to cultivate the world's talents so that they can fight against the demons together. But now this realm of trials is modeled after the ancient star field, could it be that the great war back then was also related to the demons? ”
The front was silent for a while, and he didn't talk about this topic, and pretended to be serious, "Xiao Zhang Daoyou doesn't care about this, it's better to take a good look at the number of people left in the jade plate." ”
Si Tu is puzzled, the number of people? And what happened to the number of people?
The left hand where the jade plate was located was pulled by Jiang Daoyou's right hand, and he just saw the number on it at a glance.
Two, three, seven, five!
How could it be so fast, not long ago, there were nearly 7,000 people, and it was actually reduced to 2,000 all at once. Doesn't that mean that the trial is also coming to an end, and it is a time when the competition is fierce.
She seemed to be talking to herself, and whispered, "Jiang Daoyou, do you know why the number of people has dropped so much all of a sudden?" ”
I only heard the front and said lightly: "How many people do you think can save themselves in the dark?" In addition to the abyss under your feet, you also have to guard against surprise attacks from other students, and the number of two thousand is already a lot. ”
Saying this, Si Tu sighed in his heart, will Jiaojiao be okay?
She was worried in her heart, and her tone couldn't help but become eager, and said, "If you don't enter the abyss, it shouldn't be difficult to just protect yourself, right?" ”
Although Jiaojiao is not deeply involved in the world, she can be regarded as a top cultivator. As long as you don't meet a team of several people like Huang Xu, there should be no problem.
I'm afraid that if she encounters the abyss, if she makes a mistake without defense, she really can't get rid of it easily.
"You're worried about your friend, I don't know what makes it nice to be friends with Xiao Zhang Daoyou. In the next few shots, I didn't win the trust of Taoist friends, but it made me jealous. ”
When has this been, and Jiaojiao is still "jealous".
"That's different..."
"What's the difference?"
"You're you, she's her, it's just different anyway!"
The person in front of him froze for a moment, and the hand holding Si Tu tightened slightly, and said in a mocking tone, "That's not easy to say..."
"Jiang Daoyou, what do you mean by this?"
"Your friend's cultivation is only at the Xuanling Level, and it is still unknown whether he can safely enter the final competition."
Hearing this, Si Tu said angrily: "Jiang Daoyou, I don't like to listen to this, what do you mean by the Xuanling Level?" How do you know that she can't protect herself, talking nonsense, hum! ”
Jiang Daoyou sneered: "If I hadn't led Xiao Zhang Daoyou in the dark, what chance would you have of winning in this darkness?" ”
Si Tu was dumbfounded, she really wasn't a little sure. Fang was on the way, if Jiang Daoyou hadn't stopped herself, I am afraid she would have fallen into the abyss, why did she come to quarrel with him at this moment.
Seeing that Si Tu didn't speak, the other party held Si Tu's hand and loosened a little, and said frankly, "The trial is dangerous, and whether you can persist until the end depends on your strength, and it is not something that you and I can determine the result with two sentences." Xiao Zhang Daoyou still follows me to break the formation with peace of mind, and he is worthy of his determination to enter the trial, isn't it? ”
Si Tu lowered his head dejectedly, and said with a sad face, "Then I am following Jiang Daoyou now, and you are responsible for everything, isn't it stained, and it is not my own strength." ”
"No, you're wrong. Luck is also part of strength, and meeting me is your luck. ”
Si Tu muttered, "Isn't this still a matter of luck? I don't have the strength to go down to the bottom of the abyss myself. ”
Jiang Daoyou chuckled and said, "You are wrong again, it is luck." But I'm willing to protect Xiao Zhang Daoyou's strength, do you understand? ”
"Oh..."Si Tu said in a low voice, "Having said that, my score is already more than 17,000 points, which should be considered a high score among students." My friend's score should be above 10,000, and as long as he escapes this darkness, he should have a chance to enter the academy. ”
All this is just what Si Tu thinks, and if she can't see Long Ling'er, she can only comfort herself like this.
There was no sound, and she was answered by a raised left hand in front of her.
Under the aura of the enchantment, the score on the cyan jade plate was particularly eye-catching.
Forty-five thousand!
Is this really a score that can be obtained by one person? That's more than half of the total number of people who have entered the trial. Si Tu originally said that he was lucky, and it was effortless to get so many points, but he didn't expect Jiang Daoyou's score to be more than 20,000 points more than his own, but the combined scores of himself and Jiaojiao were not as good as a Jiang Daoyou.
Her own score is still a few thousand thanks to Jiang Daoyou, isn't it just luck? But Jiang Daoyou's more than 40,000 points... She has no doubt that with the strength of others, they must be "killed" one by one.
How many students do you have to take away to have such a high score, Si Tuyan said enviously, "Jiang Daoyou is so powerful, I really admire it." ”
"Xiao Zhang Daoyou don't have to be modest, your score is indeed high among students. However, in the trial, there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and although there are very few cultivators like me, there are not a few who can be almost the same as your strength. It's fearless to go it alone, but who can say for sure? ”
Si Tu put away the carelessness at the beginning, she was indeed cautious along the way, but there was also some conceit in her heart. Before the trial, my father had asserted that she would definitely be able to enter the Middle Regions Academy, so he took it for granted that he had won the battle.
She could probably maintain a sense of alertness before entering the trial, but when a series of "good luck" such as scoring at the bottom of the lake on the first floor of the trial and slaying the earth dragon in the evergreen forest came down, she couldn't help but be a little complacent. This kind of change in mentality was something she had never been aware of, and now that she was pointed out by Jiang Daoyou, she suddenly realized.
There are people who are stronger than themselves, Jiaojiao who met for the first time, and Jiang Daoyou later, which is not higher than himself. If it weren't for the ghosts who made the gods become friends, I am afraid that I would have been eliminated from the game a long time ago.
Is luck really part of strength?
"Why don't you speak? Scared? In fact, it's not that serious, and Xuanling-level self-protection is still not a problem. ”
Si Tu pursed his lips, it was you who said frighteningly, and it was you who comforted you. In the final analysis, cultivation is the most reliable, and relying on luck is not a good way after all.
She took her eyes off the jade plate, adjusted her mentality, and said gratefully, "Jiang Daoyou is not unreasonable, but he is thinking about it at the next moment." ”
"Xiao Zhang Daoyou doesn't think it's too radical."
With this conversation, the atmosphere between the two is finally less rusty. Si Tu asked some questions from time to time, and the other party would answer patiently, and occasionally pointed out her magic questions.
It's not boring along the way, but the ice gap is getting narrower. I used to be able to walk normally by myself, but now I can only walk sideways.
Si Tu listened to the sound of the enchantment rubbing against the ice surface, and couldn't help but feel a little sore. The trial of the academy was also really painstaking, if it was not surprising, everything here was made up of formations. Just one trial of opening a mansion is such a big deal, no wonder all the students in the star field are becoming more and more interested in this opening mansion. Even if it's just a formality, it's worth the long insight.
Walking sideways is inconvenient, and the speed is much slower. Si Tu felt like a crab now, and his posture was very funny. However, Jiang Daoyou's gestures in front of him were not a little embarrassed, but they were even more outstanding in comparison with Si Tu.
Si Tu was a little contemptuous of himself, he was also a cultivator, how could he be so bad.
"Just a few steps in the narrow part of the ice gap, bear with it."
Si Tu opened his mouth when he heard this, why do you old man pay so much attention to herself, I don't know if she will be embarrassed too?
Sure enough, after walking a short distance, the ice gap is much wider, and there is finally no need to learn crabs.
After walking for another half a moment, Si Tu was stunned at his feet. Then she felt a sudden in her heart, shouldn't it, could it be a coincidence?
Feeling that Si Di's body was stiff, the person who pulled her asked softly, "What's wrong with Xiao Zhang Daoyou?" ”
Si Tu swallowed: "Jiang Daoyou... I felt that something was wrong. ”
She can't say it directly, everything is just her own guess. What's more, Jiang Daoyou's cultivation is higher than himself, if there is a problem with the ice gap, how can he not perceive it. Therefore, Si Tu's tone was a little hesitant, in case Jiang Daoyou misunderstood, it would be bad.
Who knew that the other party not only did not misunderstand, but stopped and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Zhang Daoyou said bluntly." ”
Having said that, Si Tu is no longer ambiguous. She looked directly into the other party's eyes and said seriously, "I don't know if Jiang Daoyou can notice it, we seem to have returned to the original point." The ice was very flat under my feet, and I stepped on a raised block of ice shortly after entering the ice gap. Just now, I actually stepped on the same size of ice under my feet... So I suspect..."
The person opposite frowned, and the emotion in his eyes was inexplicable. Seeing that Si Tu was a little afraid, did he say the wrong thing? Could it be that I was really too nervous to have the illusion of returning to the same place.
The atmosphere was solemn, and Si Tu even stopped breathing. Why didn't Jiang Daoyou speak, was he angry with himself?
After a while, a chuckle broke the peace.
"Xiao Zhang Daoyou is really unusual, so observant."
The red lips under Si Tu's mask opened slightly, and he said in surprise, "Jiang Daoyou is saying that my guess is right?" ”
The other party shook his head and said, "It's not a guess, it's true." ”
He took a step under his feet, closed his eyes and quickly formed a seal in his hand, and muttered, "It's funny, even I have been deceived." ”
