When I woke up in the morning, there was no one beside me.

A certain tsundere lay in her bed all night last night, and there is still residual warmth in the quilt at the moment, full of his breath, his taste. Xia Taozhi was a little greedy, and lay on the bed for a while, until the maid of the Gu Mansion came to knock on the door and called her to get up early.

I slept very peacefully last night, and with the magic medicine of her peony, I woke up and the injury was half healed. Although it still hurts a little, I can move in the end.

Today is the champion, and the 100 winners of the last game have been born. Xiao Lianxu, Xue Cheng, and Xuanyuan Geng were all unexpectedly among these hundred people. Everyone will enter this mountain of heavy buildings and fight it out. In the end, which three can climb the star-picking platform, rank among the top three, challenge the last "Dongchu Martial God", and win the crown in one fell swoop? Or will the last Valkyrie be crowned for the next time?

Everything will be on the star picking platform, and it will be seen in the end.

For the sake of fairness, from the moment they enter Chonglou Mountain, Chonglou Mountain will be closed. Guarded by the army of General Li Rong of Guide, except for the soldiers under General Li, other idle people are not allowed to enter and leave until the victory and defeat are divided on the star picking platform, and the new "Eastern Chu Martial God" is born.

The 100 champions were divided into three groups, distributed at the foot of the mountain in the south, west and north directions of Chonglou Mountain. Because the east side is the place where the Great Chu royal family worships the heavens and prays for blessings, the Royal Great Huguo Temple is located on the top of the mountain in the east. Therefore, the east side of Chonglou Mountain was blocked and was not included in the scope of Jinkui.

All the Jinkui were dressed in strong suits, with bamboo cards hanging from their waists, each carrying a bag of dry food and a pot of water, and two fireworks pipes, one red and one yellow, were hung on their bodies. If you encounter a critical situation and need rescue, you can pull out the red fireworks. Billowing red smoke rose into the air, marked the location, and General Guide's soldiers came to the rescue. If the opponent is defeated, the yellow smoke is removed from the body, and the yellow smoke rises, indicating that the person is "dead".

In short, whether it is a red pyrotechnic or a yellow pyrotechnic, once it is lit, it represents an outing.

Xia Taozhi was placed in the team to the west, and she looked around and found that Xue Cheng and Xiao Lianxu happened to be in the same group as her. The two of them just got a good look, Xiao Lianxu lost to her yesterday, his face was dull, and he naturally didn't have a good face for her, so he snorted coldly and turned his face away. Xue Cheng was very happy to see her, and ran over to say hello with a smile.

"Brother Gu, it's early!"

Out of politeness, Xia Taozhi also bowed back and said goodbye.

How do you know that Xue Cheng is a natural acquaintance, and after two face-to-face meetings, he thought he was very familiar with her, and he actually talked to her.

"Brother Gu, how are your injuries? I saw you yesterday and it seemed that you were hurt a lot. ”

"It's no big deal, I'm tired of Xue Gongzi."

"It's okay so soon?" Xue Chenghu looked at her suspiciously, thinking that she was being reckless, and patted his chest and said, "It's really not good, you can join us today, I will protect you." ”

“…… You guys? "Who protects whom? After a while, you will be beaten on your knees and beg for mercy!

"That's right......" Xue Cheng pointed to Xiao Lianxu not far away, "It's me and Brother Xiao." ”

"You're with him?" Xia Taozhi was a little stunned, she heard it right?

"Any questions?" Xue Cheng was a little puzzled.

Xia Taozhi pointed to the two fireworks on his body, trying to sow discord: "Aren't you afraid that he will secretly pull out your fireworks halfway?" ”

Xue Cheng shook his head with wide eyes: "No, no, I have known Brother Xiao since childhood, although his personality is a little eccentric, but he is better than being above board, he is definitely not such a person." ”

Xiao Lianxu, who was not far away, obviously heard it, and automatically ignored the good words, and heard the words "eccentric personality", turned his head and glanced at Xue Cheng again.

But the two hundred and five Xue Cheng didn't notice it, and was still saying to himself: "...... And we have already said that if I go to the star-picking platform with him, I must fight it out in a fair and bright way. ”

Xia Taozhi looked at Xiao Lianxu, who was gloomy not far away, and then looked at Xue Cheng, who had a harmless face in front of him, and sighed in his heart.

Boy, you're still young......

"So what? Brother Gu, do you want to join us? ”

She was about to say no, when a gong sounded, and the surroundings fell silent. A general in armor stepped forward to remind them to get ready, and Jin Kui was about to begin.

As a result, everyone was excited, gearing up, and ready to go.

Xia Taozhi put the Qingyu Sword behind her back, carefully checked the two fireworks on her body, and made preparations.

The second gong sounded, and Jin Kui began.

Everyone rushed up the hill almost at the same time, all scrambling to take advantage of the favorable terrain.

Xia Taozhi pretended not to hear Xue Cheng calling her from behind, and ran wildly onto a small road. She had already known this route by heart, and that night the tsundere prince came to open a small stove for her, and they repeatedly studied the topographic map and determined this route.

This is a road with the fewest pitfalls and the fastest way to pick up the stars. On this road, there were wound medicine and hidden weapons prepared for her by the tsundere prince in advance, and she was even afraid that she would not be able to eat enough, so she also prepared dry food. And she has already known all the traps in advance, so if nothing else, she will be the fastest person to reach the star-picking platform.

At that time, she only needs to ambush under the star-picking platform, hide in the shadows, and defeat the people who are going to go to the star-picking platform one by one.

This is also the only way, but the strength of anyone who can be promoted to the top should not be underestimated, with her current skills, if she confronts people head-on, it may be okay to deal with one or two, and it is basically impossible to sweep them all.

"The only way is to ambush in advance, wait for an opportunity to sneak attack, and then take it in one fell swoop."

When the tsundere prince said it as he should, she felt that he was shameless on the one hand, and deeply agreed with him on the other.

An hour later, she had reached the end of the path, to a three-way intersection. Ahead was a forest of white mist, and she recalled the topographic map and made sure it was a trap marked on the map. She looked around and found a large tree, and on tiptoe lifted up the tree.

She sat down on the tree, leaned slightly to the side, and sure enough, she noticed a small hole in the diagonal top of the trunk. She reached out and took out a cloth bag, opened it and saw that it was an ordinary small dagger.

She pulled out the dagger and looked at it, the tip of the dagger glowing green. , it turned out to be a poisoned dagger......

What does the tsundere prince want to do......

She carefully sheathed the dagger, put it in a cloth bag, and put it back in place. It's better not to use this kind of thing, and if you're not careful, it will hurt people's lives.

She sat bored on the tree and waited, while thinking about the red and yellow smoke that had risen from all directions of Chonglou Mountain in the past hour.

No more, no less, exactly twenty-five. In other words, now there are seventy-five people left on Chonglou Mountain.

Oh no, it's seventy-six. His Royal Highness King Ling, as the "Eastern Chu Martial God" of the previous session, has already directly boarded the star platform and waited on it.

That's why he left so early this morning, right?

She slapped her head and scolded herself for thinking nonsense......

All she needs to do now is wait quietly, waiting for people to come one after another at the three-way intersection below and go into the woods in front of her to help her "step on the thunder". When all the traps were stepped on, she went down and pulled out all the fireworks on them, killing a group of people at a time.

After a while, on the right side of the road, sure enough, a few people ran over and stopped at the intersection.

They looked flustered and looked behind them from time to time, and it seemed as if someone was chasing them behind them. Some people were in a hurry to go into the forest to hide, but others seemed to see something strange in the woods, and hesitated, and finally they stood at the intersection and discussed.

Xia Taozhi sat too high to hear what they said, so she could only whisper on the tree: "You guys go in quickly...... How mother-in-law mother-in-law's ......"

After a while, the people below actually quarreled because of disagreement. One of them seemed to be out of the way, and took the lead and ran directly into the woods, disappearing into the white mist. The people behind also ran in after him, leaving only the person who hesitated at first still lingering and hesitating at the mouth of the forest.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him, as if someone was approaching, and a frightened expression appeared on his face, and without hesitation, he ran into the woods.

Xia Taozhi was very curious, she sat high and saw far away, and saw two people slowly walking on the road on the right from a distance. All of them are dignified in appearance and have a graceful figure, just one tall and one short, one red and one blue, one gloomy and one bright.

It was Xiao Lianxu and Xue Cheng.

Are the two of them really together?! That's not going to be easy to deal with......

Yesterday, she and Xiao Lianxu won the difficult battle alone, if she hadn't taken Xiao Lianxu by surprise and received Xiao Lianxu's palm, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to find Xiao Lianxu's flaws. If you want to be opportunistic again this time, it will be difficult......

What's more, there is one more Xue Cheng.

No wonder the people before them fled for their lives as if they had seen ghosts.

She had a headache, and hoped that the two of them would obediently enter the forest and step on the trap like the previous ones.

However, how is that possible......

Before he could get closer, Xiao Lianxu stopped and stretched out his hand to stop Xue Cheng's steps.

"Brother Xiao, what's wrong?" Xue Cheng was puzzled.

"This forest has a strange ......," Xiao Lianxu said with a frown.

He looked around and patted Xue Cheng on the shoulder, "Let's go up the tree first and see the situation." ”

So the two of them flew up to the tree, and they happened to be on the tree next to Xia Taozhi.

Xia Taozhi shrank as much as she could, hoping to blend in with the tree. But how sharp Xue Cheng's eyes were, he saw her at a glance, and greeted her happily: "Brother Gu! See you again...... What a coincidence......"

Xia Taozhi squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying at him, and scolded wildly in her heart.

“…… You're a big-headed ghost! ”
