"Captain Shen, let's just talk about the future test or something, we don't have to face it."

"Yes, Captain Shen, can I apply to quit, because I am still young, and there are still many opportunities for this future test."

"Captain Shen, I also want to apply for withdrawal."

"And me, Captain Shen."

"Me."

……

At this time, some people in the team who were weaker (for fear of being beaten if they said it) really wanted to smash these words in Shen Zhu's head, which was a bit of a trick, they had a good celebration dinner before, and they were originally going to welcome the bright future after sleeping.

Now, Shen Zhu suddenly told them, "We have gone through ninety-nine or eighty difficulties, as long as we complete the missing difficulties, we can complete the work." ”

If any of them had read Journey to the West, they would know that the last difficulty was to cross the river and fall into the water and then take the scriptures.

The two are combined with associations - we have to go to the west to ask the Buddha for a saying.

Yes, the team can use Eastern humor to laugh at themselves and say that they are going to the west, instead of directly expressing their opinions, making it difficult for everyone to step down.

However, the team members are basically white and black people in the West, so.

However, it is often the weak people who speak out first, because their reflex arc is very short, and if they encounter difficulties, they will shrink back like hedgehogs.

"Shen, I don't really understand what you said." I don't know if it's pretending to be confused, someone asked.

"Shen, we don't think we need to continue south, the food here is enough for us to spend a week." The man felt that the calamity would not last long.

Of course, many people were overwhelmed by Shen Zhu's hands-on charm on this trip, and they stood under his banner, so some people spoke out in support.

"Shen, I believe in you, we can pass the test of the future!"

"Shen, you don't have to worry about these miscreants, since you can safely bring us from New York to Washington, then, you can also lead us through any difficulties, I always believe in your ability." The white man was really angry and felt worthless for Shen Zhu, these people were all ungrateful.

"Yes, Shen, you are the best, I love you, with you by my side, even if I fall into the volcano, I believe you can save me."

It was a young white girl, and her face was agitated; How excited was it, if it weren't for the temperature being too low, if it weren't for the fact that she couldn't squeeze in front, she might have ripped off her clothes and stood naked in front of Shen Zhu.

Soon.

Under the shouts of these people, the eyes of the rest of the team gradually became firm, and then the voices of support became more and more, and it didn't take long for them to converge into a wave, constantly squeezing the voices that were retreating and evading.

Seeing this, Shen Zhu's heart was a little touched, but time was pressing, so he didn't continue to sigh, so he waved his hand and pressed down to signal everyone to listen to him: "Don't worry, since I, Shen Zhu, can bring you from New York to Washington, I can let you return to that beautiful spring world." ”

As soon as the words fell, the team applauded, and Shen Zhu's statement made their already hanging hearts fall back and stay in place.

At the same time, they all seem to see their own future scenarios:

Couples lie on the beach and enjoy a warm sunbath;

Parents and children walk on the spring blossoming path in the early morning;

The wives happily leaned back on the soft sofas, waiting for the children to return home from work or school.

……

While the iron was hot, Shen Zhu said the so-called future test in a different version, and what they did was very simple, that is, to build an altar and worship the sacred tree.

In the next few hours, according to Shen Zhu's request, the team came to the ice and snow world and built a high platform on the original site of the White House.

This high platform is a square prismatic platform, all of which are piled up with ice blocks one and a half meters long, one meter wide and fifty centimeters high, and the steps extend in four directions, south, south, west, and northwest, with a total of 33 layers;

There is not much space on the high platform, and only three people can stand side by side after setting up an ice table.

"Shen, we've built the high platform, what should we do next?" The male protagonist Sam Hall saw Shen Zhupan sitting on the ice to meditate and recuperate, and said softly with a light foot.

Shen Zhu's outfit at this time was very unique, it was a slim and straight white robe, and the clothes were embroidered with patterns made of small leaves, either humanoid, or reptilian with limbs, or with a large number of limbs and curved.

This is still a picture that the male protagonist Sam Hall did not look at carefully, and there may be many other patterns behind Shen Zhu.

However, don't look at Shen Zhu smiling and meditating, his mood was very depressed at this time.

The reason is to talk about the scene where he communicated with the World Tree not long ago.

The altar built by the team was provided by the World Tree, but Shen Zhu just threw its drawings to the male protagonist Sam Hale to preside, and he had more important things to do, which was to outline each piece of ice on the altar with a magic pattern, and then combine them to form a magic circle.

Then, just as Shen Zhu finished outlining the ice cubes inside the high platform, the World Tree conveyed a message to him through psychic communication, that when worshipping it on the altar, he needed special clothing and hats.

The costume is easy to say, even if the pattern is ugly, he can accept it, but he can't accept it, even the hat is a little green.

Yes, the hat, like the garment, is embroidered with various green patterns on white silk cotton.

So he was very depressed, is this the legendary "life needs a little green" if you want to get by".

Then he meditated and began to think about the environment around him, the grass and trees, where he didn't need a little greenery to clean the air......

In this way, Shen Zhu kept meditating and meditating "A harmonious society needs a green environment", until the male protagonist Sam Hall came over and asked him what to do next.

At this time, it seemed that meditation and meditation had an effect, Shen Zhu's face was indifferent, and his eyes were calm and said, "Is the tribute ready?" ”

The male protagonist Sam Hall followed behind Shen Zhu a little crookedly, shook the snow on the brim of his hat and said, "All ready." ”

Hearing this, Shen Zhu stopped under the high platform, and when he raised his eyes, the sky was getting darker and gloomy, as if the ink had blackened the white clouds.

Retracting his gaze, Shen Zhu asked the male protagonist to gather in a square line under the high platform, and he walked to the high platform step by step.

However, just as Shen Zhu stepped on the first staircase, the wind and snow in Washington suddenly surged like a tide near the White House, and if you look down from above, you can see that the area of a thousand meters near the White House has gradually formed a whirlpool center, constantly absorbing wind and snow.

The wind and snow were very strong, blowing the team standing under the high platform to the side, even so, the team did not retreat a step, so they held hands in pairs, stabilized the formation, and then condensed their eyes straight on Shen Zhu, who was walking towards the high platform.

Soon after, they discovered a phenomenon -

Whenever Shen Zhu stepped up a step, the force of the wind and snow was a little stronger.

And there is also a very magical scene, when the wind and snow swept through them and rushed towards the high platform, the wind and snow turned into various weapons in mid-air, such as long swords, broadswords, bows and crossbows, guns and sticks, halberd axes, etc., and then it seemed that someone was waving and projecting, and the weapons instantly went straight to the surroundings of the high platform, more on the side of Shen Zhu's step.

However, Shen Zhu didn't seem to see the countless cold weapons projected from behind, and he still didn't panic and went up step by step.

At this time, someone in the team couldn't help but shout in fright: "Be careful." ”

As soon as the words fell, in the next moment, the word "careful" suddenly turned into a mantra and the law "exorcises all things".

The team watched in a daze as the weapons flying in the sky disappeared into mid-air in an instant.

"What's going on?"

"Why did it suddenly disappear."

The team began to wonder if they were hallucinating.

With this, they wiped the snowflakes around their eye sockets a little and looked up again.

At this time, a large piece of ice and snow condensed into a weapon appeared in front of him, and then like a bullet, it disappeared into the space where it was, and when it appeared in the next moment, it was not far behind Shen Zhu, and then disappeared into the air in an instant.

All in all, it feels like a person in a movie who teleportes, disappears from place to place, appears in another place for less than a second, and then disappears again.

Of course, this is the limit of the human eye to catch the picture per second that limits them.

If they shake their heads and watch at this moment, they can catch some unique images, for example, the cold weapon does not disappear and leave automatically, but disappears into the ripples in mid-air like pebbles thrown into the lake.

However.

Shen Zhu, who was at the center of the team's line of sight, was not as chic and relaxed as the picture they saw.

Every time he stepped up a step, an invisible pressure would arise around him, instantly pressing on his shoulders, and then, every cell of his whole body was beaten or squeezed one by one.

At this time, Shen Zhu felt as if he was throwing himself into a divine sword that had gone through the tribulations of wind, fire, water and soil.

First, it is extruded into the seabed, then beaten and tempered in the flames, and when it is extremely hot, it is cooled in an extremely cold ice spring, and the last step is to bury it deep in the soil, waiting for someone to pick it up after thousands of years.

After a long time.

Shen Zhu took a step forward with blank eyes, and when this step stepped on the thirty-first step, the speed of the wind and snow suddenly doubled, and suddenly the square formation spread out and deformed.

And Sam Hall, the male protagonist who was standing alone at the forefront, was blown by the sudden attack of the wind and snow, and the whole person suddenly lay on the stairs of the altar in embarrassment.

Because Shen Zhu had confessed that he couldn't step on the steps of the altar before, at this time, the male protagonist was desperately pressing down his body to prevent the wind and snow from blowing him down on the altar steps.

But the strength of the wind and snow gradually increased, and he couldn't hold it back, so he couldn't help shouting at Shen Zhu, who was standing in the thirty-first class in a daze: "Shen, I can't hold it anymore, when will you get it." ”

Since stepping on the thirtieth step, Shen Zhu felt as if he was in a dark void, and then spent millions of years in it alone, and just like that, the passage of time also took away his mind and consciousness.
