Chapter 409: Desperate Siege
In front of the main entrance, Mu Shi felt this terrifying aura, took a deep breath, suppressed the instinctive shock and fear, and slowly stepped out into the crack of the door.
"Whew-" The cold aura of freezing everything suddenly intensified, and it rushed towards Mu Shi like an invisible net. Mu Shi did not panic, the white light and red light of his left and right hands shone, and the pale golden flame was quickly summoned, forming a flame shield in front of Mu Shi, offsetting most of the coercion.
The holy flame is worthy of the flame used by Cangxi, and its practicality is much higher than that of other medicinal fires.
"Huh?" With a crisp whisper, the original cold coercion disappeared in an instant.
"Hahaha, Xiao Hanxi, I said she had a holy fire, why don't you believe it?" An old cheerful laugh sounded, and the originally dark hall lit up with flames, jumping in the glazed lampshade, illuminating the entire hall brightly.
There is a red carpet from the door of the main hall, and at the end of the red carpet is a high platform, on which are sitting three powerful figures, one of whom Mu Shi has already seen, that is, the old man who caught Mu Shi before and constantly mixed with Mu Shi's assessment, he sat on the far left, looking at Mu Shi with a smile and a very kind face.
On the far right sat a beautiful woman with a cold breath all over her body, and Mu Shi was very impressed by the temperament of the Frozen Queen, and she was looking at Mu Shi curiously.
The most central is a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament, and the mature male charm is probably the peerless killer of the uncle and the girl in the eyes. But looking at him sitting in the middle, you know that his strength should be the strongest among the three, and his actual age is definitely not as young as he looks!
"Come here, don't be afraid, she deliberately teased you." When the old man saw Mu, he didn't move, but looked at the spot, beckoned, smiled, and comforted.
Having said that, can Mu Shi still refuse? These three people should be the three students who learned from Mu Zichen's mouth, and they also knew very well that Beiye was refining the pill in the mountains behind the Ochre Academy. There was a handle to grasp on others, Mu Shi had no choice but to walk up, stop at the bottom of the high platform, lean over slightly and did not speak.
"Hey, this kid wasn't so quiet before." Jun Lao muttered, raised his head and glared at the woman with an icy aura, "You must have scared her!" ”
Hearing this, Han Xi raised his head coldly, glanced at Mu Shi without being salty, and said expressionlessly, "I didn't see that she was afraid of me." ”
"You just scared her! Every time you are a disciple of the inner court, you have to be so scared! Sooner or later, you'll be frozen out! Jun Lao snorted arrogantly.
"Okay, okay, I'm old, and I'm still arguing in front of my children, what does it look like." The man in the middle smiled and played a round game, and when he saw that the two of them were quiet, his eyes fell on Mu Shi's body.
Mu Shi only felt a tremor all over his body, a feeling that his soul was seen through his whole body, and his heart couldn't help but pass a trace of surprise, this man who looked young and elegant and easy-going, even if his strength did not reach the imperial realm, it was estimated that he would not leave the door of the door.
This Ochre Academy is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! Not only are there a large number of high-level masters as mentors, but there are also three high-level king-level powerhouses in charge, and there is even a Bright Law Emperor who is very small in the continent behind him.
"I'm the dean of Ochre Academy, my name is Qu Chuan." The middle-aged man with an elegant temperament smiled slightly, and his tone was kind, "You should have seen this old man, Jun Shisheng, the vice president of the inner courtyard." ”
"This beautiful young lady is another vice president of the inner courtyard, whose name is Hanxi, and it is a rare ice attribute." The middle-aged man deliberately added a sentence when introducing the Han Ritual.
Let the dean introduce it first, this is not in line with the rules, which shows how friendly Dean Qu is to Mu Shi. Mu Shi still dared to have any shelf, and immediately performed another junior salute, and said respectfully, "Senior Jiang Muqi, I have seen the three deans. ”
Dean Qu Chuan frowned slightly when he heard this, although the corners of his mouth were still smiling, he lost the smile in his eyes, and said lightly, "Child, in front of us, aren't you going to tell the truth?" ”
Mu Shi was shocked, looked up, and crashed straight into Qu Chuan's eyes, and was a little distracted for a while.
"This kid, why do you think we would agree to that demon kid to recover in the dragon vein?" Jun Lao reminded helplessly.
Mu Shi's brain turned quickly, and he immediately understood, since Emperor Tianming saved her, how could he not know the existence of Beiye with his supernatural powers, presumably Beiye could stay in the dragon vein safely and soundly, and it was also his instruction. Then my own information is also shaken clean.
Mu Shi sighed lightly, secretly scolded his stupidity, and hurriedly said, "It's the junior's rudeness, the junior's real name is Mu Shi, and the use of a fake name is also because of his special identity, a life-saving move, and I hope the three deans will not be surprised." ”
Qu Chuan's eyes softened, and he smiled faintly, "You are very smart and vigilant." This heart is very good, but I hope that in the next life of the academy, you can trust your back to your partner. ”
Mu Shi was stunned and frowned slightly, "Dean, I don't quite understand what you mean. ”
Qu Chuan stood up and walked towards Mu Shi. Although he did not deliberately release coercion to force Mu Shi, it still made Mu Shi feel a huge pressure.
His own pride made Mu Shi grit his teeth and straighten his waist, refusing to take a step back.
Qu Chuan walked to Mu Shi three meters and stopped, looked at Mu Shi with sweaty cheeks and showed a hint of appreciation, and said leisurely, "The existence of the inner courtyard is actually to cultivate elite disciples who can fight against the demon race. ”
"This confrontation is not only against the powerful enemies of the demon race, but also to perform various dangerous missions. At times like these, the power of the individual is always limited. Qu Chuan paced for a moment, and turned to look at Mu Shi, "Can you understand?" ”
Mu Shi pondered slightly, thoughtfully, "I probably understand, do you want to make up for your personal shortcomings with the comprehensive cohesion of the team?" ”
Qu Chuan nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, the talent of the demon clan itself is too good, and almost every demon clan can become a cultivator." This is a huge disadvantage for the human race, below the spirit level can also make up for the gap in numbers, above the spirit level, ordinary soldiers are cannon fodder. ”
Mu Shi was silent.
"You are indeed a very good seedling, and to be honest, I have never seen such a genius with such a gifted nature." A glint flashed in Qu Chuan's eyes, "But there are no perfect people in this world, and no matter how talented a person is, there will be areas that he is not good at." ”
Mu Shi nodded in approval.
"In the philosophy of Ochre Academy, although there is no perfect individual, there is a perfect team." Qu Chuan said confidently, "Now this group of inner court disciples, I can confidently say that no team will cooperate more than them. ”
"Huh?" Mu Shi thought about those people, it seems that their personal attributes and abilities are indeed very suitable, and they can form a perfect team.
"It stands to reason that it would be unwise to add one person to such a mature team." Jun Lao also walked down and said slowly, "So, if it weren't for the old man's intercession, your little lover would be in danger~"
Qu Chuan smiled, but he didn't expose Jun Lao's lies.
Mu Shi's eyes rolled and he smiled slyly, "Three deans." If my guess is correct, although the team formed by your current Inner Court disciples is perfect, there is still an important link missing, right? ”
Jun Lao was stunned, and subconsciously said, "How do you know?" After speaking, he realized that he had missed his mouth, and glared at Mu Shi angrily, "Okay, your little girl, the old man helps you, and you still use the old man's words." ”
Mu Shi spread his hands innocently, "I'm just reasonably inferring that it was you who confirmed the junior guess." ”
"You...... Are you a prophet? Jun Lao muttered in confusion, even Qu Chuan and Han Xi looked at Mu Shi with a strange gaze. How did they know that Mu Shi had already known a few people in the inner courtyard!
Mu Shi pretended to smile mysteriously, "That's why the Rishi clan is coveted by the world, isn't it?" ”
"This kid ......" Qu Chuan smiled and shook his head, "Okay, I won't sell it to you." That's right, although this group of inner court disciples is perfect, there is still something missing from the entire team, and we can't figure this out. So this second level of the trial is to test whether you can make up for their shortcomings. ”
Mu Shi blinked, "How to assess?" ”
"It's simple." Han Xi stood up, and a spear appeared in his hand at some point, this figure made Mu Shi instantly remember, isn't this woman the woman he saw on the way to the Ice Emperor Ruins? It was she who saved Gu Nansui's team who was attacked by the demons.
No wonder they will all be here, presumably Gu Nan has contributed a lot. Mu Shi thought distractedly.
"The five of you will be thrown into a large forest near the edge of the ochre shield, and they will hunt you down at first, and how you gain their approval is your own business." Han Xi rarely said a lot, and she pointed her spear at Mu Shi, "At the same time, we will put in five Venerable Mentors to capture you." ”
"Five Honorable!?" Mu Shi was surprised and almost ate his hands, a little incredulous, "Isn't there too many five?!" ”
"They won't use all their strength, and their mental power will be suppressed within a kilometer." Qu Chuan interjected, which made Mu Shi feel at ease.
"If that's the case, then I'm confident that I'll fight." Mu Shi hooked her lips and smiled confidently, in her previous life, as a leader in the mercenary world, she didn't know how many jungle battles she had experienced, and this was the territory she was most familiar with! In this life, he has such a strong strength, and Mu Shi's confidence in this battle is even fuller.
"It's a good thing to have self-confidence, but let me remind you, there are four disciples in the inner court, two magicians and two martial artists, and the lowest one is also on par with you, and they are all extremely powerful existences." Jun Lao said with a smile.
Mu Shi exhaled lightly, but he didn't expect that after a few years, the progress speed of these people was no longer below his own. However, Mu Shi believes that even if they are stronger than themselves, with their unique talent and experience in two lives, they will not be caught by the pigtails!
"Thank you for the reminder, when will it start?"
"If you're ready, you can start at any time." Qu Chuan replied.
"Well, I can't wait."
