Chapter 49: The Proving Ground 1

Zeng Xiao stiffened and turned back slowly!

I saw that five or six meters away from her, a thigh-thick forest python was dragging its bucket-thick belly, slowly crawling towards the depths of the forest!

As if sensing her gaze, the forest python glanced back at her!

The cold gaze made Zeng Xiao suddenly feel like he was in an ice cave, his body couldn't move up and down, and even his breathing seemed to be paused!

The forest python glanced at her disdainfully, turned his head, and continued to writhe his stout body calmly and calmly!

It seems that after a century, Zeng Xiao felt that he was slowly warming, and the breath he held in his throat finally exhaled, his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground leaning against the trunk of the tree!

The sportswear on her body was already soaked with cold sweat, and she wanted to wipe the sweat droplets that were about to flow into the corners of her eyes, but she found that she collapsed so much that she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand!

Fortunately, I met a well-fed forest python, if it was a hungry ......

Zeng Xiao had a cold war!

How long has it been since you entered the trial? She just wanted to go home!

Thinking about the soft bed at home, the steaming meal......

But the unknown signal in the living room, the tragic situation of the planet described by the Star Lord of Jinyi after it was invaded, and the family members who need her protection behind her......

She stood up tremblingly with her support for the trunk of the tree, and slowly straightened up!

Isn't it just a trial? What are you afraid of!

Even if you die here, you will come alive in reality!

I don't want any extra rewards now, and if you stick to the end of the trial, you'll win!

Sure enough, it is only in practice that you can know what you lack the most!

I used to think about increasing my combat experience and strengthening my body, but now it seems that the first thing I need to strengthen is my guts!

The python looked at it and was so frightened that it couldn't move!

What if you encounter a stronger opponent in the future?

Zeng Xiao encouraged himself, moved his hands and feet, and looked around!

Don't dare to go deep in the forest! Don't dare to go to the river!

I don't want to go to the low-lying places of the wet dirch!

She chose the outer edge of the forest, a dense forest not too far from the river, and walked cautiously towards the higher side!

There is plenty of water aura in the forest, and if you use a water spell, it should have a bonus effect, and it will recover quickly!

It's a pity that she has just begun to absorb aura, and the aura stored in her body is not enough to consume a lowest-level spell!

After you go back, you have to practice more diligently, and the time regulator should also be used when you cultivate!

If you can't use spells, you won't move on to the next trial!

Zeng Xiao swore in his heart while observing if there were anything around him that could be used as a weapon!

It's a pity that the forest is lush with vegetation, and the ground is tightly covered, not to mention stones, and even fallen dead branches have not been found!

I want to break a thick branch, but I'm afraid that the movement will be too big and attract a beast!

In the end, I had to break a branch thicker than my thumb, although it was not lethal, but it was good to hold it in my hand to strengthen my courage!

It may be that her bad luck has run out, and she walked forward cautiously for more than half an hour, except for a rabbit and a few birds, she didn't encounter any threatening animals!

The sun has risen in mid-air, the light in the dense forest is better, and the cold sweat that came out before has expelled a lot of water from the body, although the weather is not hot, this will still feel dry mouth.

Zeng Xiao thought back to several ways to get water in the wild, and found that he really couldn't accept unboiled water, maybe he should get fire first?

Theoretically, she can drill wood for fire, but she has never actually operated it, and in this dangerous field, she doesn't dare to stay in one place for a long time to drill wood!

Or, see what isn't poisonous? It's going to be down, and it's good to endure for 20 hours!

Pulling the vine up the slope, I walked forward a little further, and the foot was finally dry!

Suddenly, there was a "chirping" of birds in front of me, which sounded like the noise of a large flock of birds coming together.

Zeng Xiao followed the sound, and after walking for a few minutes, he saw a small fruit grove growing on the opposite sunny hillside, and from a distance, he could see that the branches were full of red fruits!

Countless small birds jumped in the middle, a little far away, I couldn't see what kind of fruit it was, but the birds could eat it, it should be non-poisonous!

She estimated the distance to that side, and it was not too far in a straight line, but if she went down the slope from this side and up the slope to the other side, and crossed the forest with no road, even if she did not encounter any danger, it would take at least an hour!

Zeng Xiao sighed! Hopefully those birds will give her a little leftover!

Slowly sliding down the slope, the light dimmed again. She slapped the grass with her stick as she cautiously walked forward.

Along the way, there was a thick layer of fallen leaves that were full of water, and the water that seeped from stepping on them overflowed the soles of the shoes, and the sneakers that had just dried a little bit were quickly soaked again.

After walking for more than ten minutes, he suddenly stepped on the air, and the whole person rolled into a puddle at once!

Fortunately, the puddle was not deep, and she stood up just below her knees.

Zeng Xiao climbed ashore wet, shivering from the cold, her wet clothes and pants were heavy, she held the hem of her denim jacket and wanted to wring it out!

As soon as she held her hand, she touched a lump of cold and slippery things, which frightened her and quickly shook her hand away, almost screaming!

After relieving himself, he took a closer look, and a leech the size of a baby's fist was firmly attached to his clothes! Looking down, there are seven or eight pairs of pants from top to bottom!

There are still leeches in such cold water?

Fortunately, she was dressed tightly, and the fabric of her clothes and pants was not thin, so she didn't let the leeches get in! Otherwise, look at the size of this leech, a few more, and you can suck her dry!

Zeng Xiao shook his clothes in shock, jumped a few more times, two or three leeches were shaken and fell, and the remaining few were still sucked firmly!

She cut off the thin branches from the side and picked off the leeches one by one.

Just as she was concentrating on dealing with the leech, a thin spider silk hung down from the tree behind her, and a spider the size of a small wine glass silently landed on her shoulder, poked its legs around, and crawled towards her neckline!

Zeng Xiao had already finished picking the leeches at this time, thinking about the slippery mollusk, she shivered, couldn't help but take off her coat and shook it vigorously!

The spider that had just climbed to the neckline was shaken to the ground, and Zeng Xiao, who jumped on the spot a few times, stepped into the muddy water!

But she didn't know this, so she made sure that she had picked out her clothes, wrung them out, put them back on, and continued walking!

The next part of the road was safe, and when she walked to the fruit grove hungry and thirsty, the flock of birds seemed to be much less, and it was estimated that some of them had enough to eat and flew away!

Looking closer, this fruit looks like a red apple that is a few sizes smaller, and almost every fruit has traces of bird pecking, and some have been pecked out of shape!

Zeng Xiao picked a few slightly more complete ones, sat down against a fruit tree, pulled out his close-fitting sportswear and wiped it, and when he bit down, a slightly apple-scented juice flowed into his mouth, sweet, sour and a little astringent, spreading in his mouth!

But she was so hungry that everything was delicious, and she finished nibbling on one fruit in two or three bites, and was about to nibble on the second one, when the birds on the tree suddenly flew away in panic!

Zeng Xiao looked around vigilantly, but didn't find anything abnormal! is puzzled, a "sigh~" sound from far and near!

"Eagles?" She relieved her mind a little, the eagle may catch the child, it shouldn't catch such a big person as her!

But she was relieved too early, and a huge black shadow flew overhead, circled, and flew back again!

She was dumbfounded as she watched the eagle in the sky with its wings spread out and a full three meters long, which ...... It's an eagle, right? Or is it a carving?

The grove was not very dense, and there was a little distance between the two trees, and she could see the eagle, and the eagle could see her!

The worst thing is that the eagle is obviously staring at her, hovering in the sky, maybe it will swoop down at any time!
