Chapter 236: Tryouts
The next morning, many adventure travelers gathered outside the Scarlet Moon Adventure Guild, holding various blades and pointing to the bulletin board in front of the door to discuss.
Wang Zhaolin, who had a piece of bread in his mouth, happened to pass by, and his curiosity drove him to squeeze through the crowd and stand on tiptoe to see what the crowd was watching.
Closer to the bulletin board was Jiang Jianfei's back, Wang Zhaolin immediately stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Jiang, what a coincidence! We met again, what are you doing?"
Jiang Jianfei smiled back and said hello: "Yo, Brother Wang, do you also want to join the Langtian Adventure Group?"
Notice on the expansion of new members of the Langtian Adventure Group
Dear Adventure Travelers,
In view of the lack of manpower in the adventure group under this guild, from now on, a "selection competition" will be held in the Purple Mist Forest, and the top three winners can join the Langtian adventure group.
The leader of the Scarlet Moon Adventure Guild, Moyi
July 3, 769 A.D
"Cut, is the salary of this profession as higher than that of me as a tour guide?" Wang Zhaolin snorted disdainfully and turned to leave.
"You have to stop thinking about it later. Jiang Jianfei grabbed Wang Zhaolin, "To tell the truth, how many people dream of working under the Ziwu Mo family." ”
"I just don't like to work for people. ”
"Actually, you can make money, and it's the same wherever you work. Jiang Jianfei said earnestly, "I used to have a friend who was also a search officer, and now he has been promoted to a forensic officer, and he doesn't have to listen to the orders of his boss. ”
"I like to live without constraints. ”
"If you don't have money, it's even a problem to eat, how can you talk about freedom?"
Wang Zhaolin swallowed the bread, pulled away, and said that he was too lazy to listen to Jiang Zhifei's nonsense, and walked out of the crowd.
He hadn't gone far before the scabbard of the Tiankun sword vibrated violently, and he quickly slipped into an uninhabited alley to untie the rope on the scabbard.
"Goddess, what's the matter?"
Idores' serious voice immediately came from within the scabbard: "If you can join the Wandering Sky Adventure Party, it will help us find the blood of the Seven Virtues. ”
"Why?"
"The three heads of the family have all heard Lenatney sing "The Charm of Heaven", and Mo Yi is also one of the heads of the family, and I believe that with her ingenuity, she will soon be able to uncover the proverbs on the second piece of the text, since we have the same goal, we should cooperate with each other. ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier! Find a few more helpers, Ben Shao won't have to take such a big risk in the future. Wang Zhaolin grunted and returned to the Crimson Moon Adventure Guild along the same path.
At this time, the crowd had dispersed, and Wang Zhaolin whispered to a strong man carrying a giant axe: "Where to sign up?"
The strong man pointed to the billboard in front of the door and asked Wang Zhaolin to line up over there, and looked around, there was a long table under the plane tree in the courtyard, and two maids were sitting with their heads buried in work.
The people who came to fill out the registration form were dressed in different clothes, some wore pure white robes, some wore undershirts with open collars, and some deliberately showed the tattoos on their shoulders.
Now that people have to dress up to show their strengths, is the treatment of that Langtian Adventure Group really that good?
Wang Zhaolin thought secretly, and then looked at his dress that had nothing to do with the game, and his inferiority complex suddenly overflowed.
No wonder the townsfolk looked at him strangely when he approached the group.
A monk glared at Wang Zhaolin angrily and scolded: "Donor, cutting in line is immoral, don't violate it!"
Wang Zhaolin poked the person in front of the monk: "We know each other, this is not - I have something to leave for a while, let him help me take the lead!"
That person was Jiang Jianfei, he turned around and saw that Wang Zhaolin was back again, and was about to complain, but the other party gave him a look.
Jiang Jianfei hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, we are friends." ”
"My name is Pei Qiu, and I just came here from Wanyang. The monk looked the two of them up and down, "Since we know each other, you can stand behind me." ”
"Dead bald donkey, you wait for me!" Wang Zhaolin muttered dissatisfiedly, but there was nothing he could do.
However, he soon regretted that he had been too tolerant, and when it was his turn, the two maids claimed that their places were full.
Jiang Zhifei shook his head and patted Wang Zhaolin's shoulder regretfully, Pei Qiu raised his eyebrows, and spread his hands indifferently.
"Can't you report one more person?"
"Considering the size of the Purple Mist Forest, there is only a limit of fifty people for this selection competition. One of the maids with an apologetic smile was none other than Shao Yan.
"But I've filled it out!" Wang Zhaolin threw his pen on the table and pointed to the registration form.
Shao Yan straightened her glasses and complained to another maid beside her, "Jasmine, how did you do it? I've been working in the Adventure Guild for so long, and I'm not familiar with the business?"
Jasmine scratched her hair and wondered, "It's really fifty, I've counted it!
"At this point, I can only agree to your request. Shao Yan smiled at Wang Zhaolin and stretched out her right palm, "The registration fee is a total of one hundred belens, good luck." ”
After Shao Yan collected the coins handed by Wang Zhaolin, she sorted out the registration materials of the contestants with Jasmine, and after a while, Mo Yi walked out of the main gate and introduced herself to everyone.
"Thank you for coming to participate in the final selection of the adventure group today, this competition tests your ability to survive in the wild, in the forest of purple mist, there lives a fierce beast, it will randomly attack every adventure traveler, you should take more precautions, try to cause as much damage to it as possible......"
"Elder, why isn't our goal to defeat it directly?" Before Mo Yi finished speaking, the strong man who had shown Wang Zhaolin the way before couldn't help but interject.
"Because you can't win, after seven days, the judges will select the three winners based on the data from the recorder on the beast's body. Mo Yi smiled firmly, took out two wooden boxes, and asked Shao Yan and Jasmine to distribute the contents to everyone.
It looks almost identical to a condensation cylinder, except that the bamboo tube is equipped with oval buttons at the end. Mo Yi explained to everyone: "When a player can't keep playing and shoots a signal flare from the bottom of the barrel towards the sky, I will immediately send someone to help him get out of trouble." ”
"If you don't have any doubts, come to me to pick up your daily necessities. The blacksmith and cloth merchant who had a relationship with Wang Zhaolin in the Tiangong hut also came to the scene, and the two of them worked together to carry a bunch of bags in front of everyone.
After Wang Zhaolin received his luggage, he couldn't wait to open it, and suddenly felt disappointed: "You give too little, these food and water are only enough for one day." ”
"You have to figure out what you have left for six days, and the truly strong should not be afraid of trials. ”
Although Wang Zhaolin wants to agree with the cloth merchant's point of view, but always feels that this word is too awkward to say from the mouth of the "sissy", maybe once this person does business, he will switch to a different personality, which is the reason why he is not good at judging others with his first impression, just like Pei Qiu next to him, it stands to reason that the monk has an incomprehensible attachment to the fate, and he should take the initiative to accept the material giving, but Pei Qiu was unmoved.
"It seems that Brother Pei is quite sure about this selection competition, be careful that you are hungry and have no strength to deal with the beast!"
"Thank you for reminding the donor, the little monk has his own way. Pei Qiu bowed and turned to leave the Adventure Guild.
Next, Mo Yi announced the official start of the selection competition, and the adventure travelers could go to the Purple Mist Forest on their own, and Wang Zhaolin followed the crowd to the spacious street.
"Dare to ask Brother Jiang, how do you plan to go to the Purple Mist Forest?" Wang Zhaolin packed his bags and asked Jiang Jianfei, who was walking with him.
"Cast a flash and step over. ”
"Could it be too far?" Wang Zhaolin was very surprised.
"In short, it's part of the practice, and I'm the champion. ”
"Looks like you're quite confident! I can't throw in the towel, I'll see you in the arena then. Wang Zhaolin waved goodbye to Jiang Jianfei, and walked to another fork in the road on the right after leaving the city.
Most of the adventure travelers flew to the Purple Mist Forest in the same way as Jiang Blade, the "Flash Step" combat skill, with the exception of Wang Zhaolin, who came to a deserted wilderness and took off the Tiankun scabbard.
When he thought of the story that the female clerk in the Tiangong hut told him, his heart suddenly became nervous, his movements were slow and light, and finally turned into a white mist and exhaled from his mouth.
The Void Abyss Sword was intact, but it was hard to say whether the "devouring power" of the Heavenly Kun Sword Scabbard would fail, and after only one day, he didn't dare to make a conclusion.
Edgeworth's flight is several times faster than the Flash Sky Step, and he will definitely be the first to arrive at the Purple Mist Forest, and formulate countermeasures against the Yan Beast one step ahead of others, waiting for the opportunity anyway.
However, he obviously forgot an important thing, as a countryman who had not been to the vast city a few times, he forgot to ask others which direction the Purple Mist Forest was going? Even though he could fly in the sky, he was disoriented, and wandered around the air for a long time, and by the time his spiritual power was exhausted and he was too tired to stand the landing, it was already dark.
Wang Zhaolin rested under a tree, staring at the gentle dirt road, suddenly the fear swelled up in his heart, in order to protect himself, he didn't dare to put the sword back into its sheath, but pushed the empty abyss sword away one leaf after another.
Just as he was glad that he had finally found the entrance to the Purple Mist Forest, a scream suddenly pierced the sky, followed by a burst of brilliant fireworks in the sky.
According to this, some contestants were eliminated.
Ignoring the loss of physical strength, he walked hundreds of meters with flashing steps, and came to a place surrounded by several trees.
It was the strong man who gave the distress signal, lying on the edge of the bushes, his eyes terrified and his broken axe at his hand.
"Too ...... It's terrible...... It's simply not ......."
"Are you okay?What attacked you?" Before Wang Zhaolin could step forward to check the strong man's injuries, the man fainted.
Faced with the strange sound coming from the depths of the forest, Wang Zhaolin was highly nervous, and took a posture and turned in every direction, until the sound gradually stopped, and a teleportation light door appeared in front of him.
Wang Zhaolin had never seen such a spell before, and was about to go forward to find out, but a black-clothed masked man walked out of the light gate, and it sounded like an extremely familiar female voice.
"You just sent a distress signal?"
"No, it's him ......" Wang Zhaolin pointed to the strong man on the ground.
So, the masked man lifted the strong man and pulled him into the light door: "It's okay, you can continue to play." ”
"Wait a minute, may I ask what the spell the girl cast?"
"Trade secrets, it is not convenient to disclose, unless you can become one of us in the future. The masked man said this, and disappeared with the light gate.
Could it be that this person is a member of the Langtian Adventure Group? Wang Zhaolin pondered, looking at the footprints of some animal on the ground.
