Chapter 47: The Hunting Sacrifice Arrives
The morning sun rises, and in the square in the center of Taiyi Immortal Road, a thousand newcomers who have just entered the school are ready.
Today they gathered here, if for nothing else, precisely because the annual Five Courtyards Hunting Festival was about to begin.
Zhou Yao stood at the end of the crowd, and behind him was Erdu, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and the two were waiting for the time to come.
Two days have passed since the encounter with the gray cat and the wolf, and the publicity concert is steadily being prepared, seeing that everything is going according to plan, Zhou Yao is also relieved to leave with the second stay.
"It's slow, it's going to be waiting."
Zhou Yao grumbled impatiently, a large group of people were waiting here but never saw the team leader appear, and almost half an hour had passed.
But at the same time, he was also a little curious, how Taiyi Immortal Dao took so many of them to the location of the hunting festival.
According to Wu Ma Qing, the hunting festival is held in the land of steel, and this is the center of the human living area, and the distance between the two places is not a joke.
It took him two or three days to come to the Central Province by car from the seventh district before, and this time the distance was even farther, and if he took the car again, even if the speed was fast, it was estimated that it would not take ten days and half a month.
The hunting festival itself lasted only five days, and it was impossible to spend several times as long on the road.
Then there is only one possibility, and that is to use space teleportation......
When Zhou Yao was secretly guessing, Nangong Duyu's figure finally came late, leading a team of more than a dozen people to appear.
"Ahem, everyone is here."
Nangong Duyu is that sickly look, and coughing after taking two steps really makes people suspect that he can fall down at any time.
Looking at his appearance, Zhou Yao was still a little guilty, although he didn't know why he looked like this, but it was also a fact that he was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died when he went to the Sacred Sacrament Hall. Otherwise, maybe the current state will be better?
"Then let's start teleporting, please."
Walking up to the front podium, Nangong Duyu glanced at it, and then said to the people who came with him.
"It's already a regular practice every year, so you're welcome."
One of them waved his hand. Say it casually.
Coincidentally, the person who spoke was actually someone Zhou Yao knew.
Long flowing and slender black hair, petite body, and delicate facial features. is one of the trio around Li Mengde, Xiuqiao.
"I didn't expect to see her here......"
Zhou Yao muttered in a low voice, and saw Xiuqiao scatter with the rest of the people, standing at the edge of the square and surrounding all the new students, and then began to chant a spell in a low voice.
Could it be-
Zhou Yao suddenly thought of something. He looked at the ground beneath his feet. I didn't pay attention to the fact that the square happened to be round and the ground was carved with intricate patterns.
It turned out to be a large teleportation magic array.
Gradually, under the chanting of the people led by Xiuqiao, the ground of the circular square began to change, emitting a faint white light.
There was a small commotion among the freshmen who found out about this situation, and they didn't know what the situation was at the moment.
"Rest assured, this is a sign that the space teleportation array is starting to activate."
Nangong Duyu walked into the crowd and explained to the new students around her. In addition to him, there was a slender girl behind him.
The short white hair is reminiscent of the pallor of nothingness. The beautiful face was expressionless like a doll, and Zhou Yao thought of her identity at the first glance.
Wu Ma Yuqing!
Although I haven't seen it, according to Wu Ma Qing's reminder before, and the two points that she has a strikingly similar face to Taiqing and Shangqing, this girl can only be Wu Ma Yuqing.
"Since the location of the hunting festival is not in the survival area, it would be a long time to take a public transport. Therefore, the academy specially established such a large spatial teleportation array, not only our Taiyi Immortal Dao, but also the other four families. So there's no need to worry. ”
Nangong Duyu took advantage of her temporary state and began to explain in detail.
To put it simply, each of the five university parks has a teleportation array. It connects the edge areas of the living zone. Every year, at the beginning of the hunting festival, people from the association who are skilled in space magic are invited to operate it.
Because of the large scale of the teleportation, the mana consumed is very large, and the teleportation array needs to accumulate enough energy after a year of accumulation to accumulate enough energy to activate once. This means that the teleportation array can only be used once a year.
Zhou Yao heard almost everything, and couldn't help but move his gaze to Wu Ma Yuqing.
Because there is a reminder that the witch will clear immediately. It made him a little curious about Wu Ma Yuqing now.
It's okay not to look at this, he looked at the past and looked at Wu Ma Yuqing.
She's also observing herself!
What surprised Zhou Yao even more was that after the other party overlapped his gaze, he raised his steps and walked over to this side without saying a word.
"What is she trying to do?"
Zhou Yao couldn't figure out Wu Ma Yuqing's purpose, and when he thought of Wu Ma Qing's words, he secretly became vigilant.
Just when the distance between the two sides was getting shorter and shorter, and they knew that they were about to get close to them. The teleportation array is ready to be activated.
The teleportation array lit up with a strong white light, covering everyone's sight, and Wu Ma Yuqing's figure also disappeared from Zhou Yao's field of vision.
Buzz!
It was a ringing sound in the ears, accompanied by a palpable discomfort coming from the body.
I don't know how long it lasted, maybe it was a blink of an eye, maybe it was a dozen seconds, dozens of seconds......
Finally, the light receded. The monotonous color in Zhou Yao's eyes changed, and then Zhou Yao found that he had appeared in an unfamiliar environment.
It is a dividing place where yellow and white meet.
On one side is a large base made of white stones, and crowds of people and vehicles come and go, endlessly.
On the other side is the gray and boundless desert, dotted with lifeless yellow, which gives a heavy atmosphere at a glance.
The environments on both sides are diametrically opposed, as if they were two worlds.
This is the gateway to the Land of Steel.
Boom!
The sound of weapons handing over sounded in his ears, causing Zhou Yao's attention to be diverted from the steel earth.
He looked to the side, and Erdu, standing in front of him, holding a dragonfly, was engaged in a battle with a snow-white tiger.
The tiger was as huge as an adult, raised its powerful forelimbs and pounced on Erdu, and its claws that flashed with cold light collided with the blade of the dragonfly's spear, and the clash of power began.
Boom!
The clash of claws and spears, the battle between man and beast, there is no side rotation, only a frontal collision.
The second stay obviously didn't do his best, but the other party seemed to be the same.
As a result, no one was able to help anyone, and a stalemate was presented.
Because of the sudden appearance of the beast, there was a commotion among the newborns around it, and everyone put up a posture to keep an eye on the white tiger to prevent it from diverting its target from attacking.
"What's going on?"
Nangong Duyu, who was nearby, found out about the situation here, and walked over while asking.
Zhou Yao didn't answer his question, because he couldn't figure out what the situation was now.
His gaze looked behind the White Tiger, where Wu Ma Sanqing was standing.
What the hell did she do?
Zhou Yao still remembered that before teleporting, Wu Ma Yuqing was walking towards him, but this moment he distanced himself again.
Was he forced to retreat by the second stupid?
A series of questions lingered in his mind, and he opened his mouth.
"What are you going to do?"
There was no friendship, no hostility, just simple questioning.
Zhou Yao stared at Wu Ma Yuqing's unfluctuating face.
"Ahem! Stinky boy! You're causing me trouble again! ”
After Nangong Duyu, who came over, found that Zhou Yao was one of the parties, her face immediately swelled with an unhealthy flush, and she almost vomited out another mouthful of blood.
"This is wronging me, you should ask her what she wants to do."
Zhou Yao spread his hands towards Nangong Duyu, and then looked at Wu Ma Yuqing.
"Wu Ma's family? Oh please, let me go. The two most troublesome guys bumped into each other as soon as they came up. Will I survive the next five days? ”
Nangong Duyu covered her forehead with a desperate look.
"Xiaobai, come back."
Wu Ma Yuqing beckoned to the white tiger who was in a stalemate with Erdu, and the latter immediately obediently withdrew from the battle circle, trotted to her leg and rubbed it, as well-behaved as a kitten, completely devoid of the domineering just now.
"Please, you two, can you give An some points in the next few days?"
Seeing that the situation had subsided, Nangong Duyu said to the two of them helplessly.
He was really scared, Zhou Yao had caused him a mess in the Sacred Chapulpium a few days ago, and now he had collided with the problem children of the Wuma family, didn't he want him to die!
"Anyway, aren't you a student of Shangqing's predecessors, she is Yuqing, Shangqing's sister, why can't you two get along well?"
Since the incident in the Sacred Chapelle, Nangong Duyu has learned that Zhou Yao is a student of Wu Ma Qing, and it is because of this that he feels even more helpless.
"Teacher Nangong, you need to ask him about this."
Zhou Yao stretched out his finger and pointed.
Although I didn't see the beginning, I didn't have to think about it to know that it must have been what Wu Ma Yuqing was going to do just now, and the second was stunned to make a move.
“?”
Wuma Yuqing, the initiator of the conflict, tilted his head, and doubts seemed to be written on his expressionless face.
"You did it first?" Nangong Duyu asked.
"That's right." Wu Ma Yu admitted as a matter of course.
"Why?" Nangong Duyu was helpless and asked again.
"The meaning is unknown." This time, Wu Ma Yuqing gave a sentence of "unclear meaning", just like the meaning of her sentence itself.
"I'm asking, why did you do it?" Nangong Duyu had a headache.
"Need a reason? Not...... Interest? ”
Wu Ma Yuqing thought about it, looked at Zhou Yao and said suspiciously.
I knew it!
Zhou Yao's heart was also as helpless as Nangong Duyu.
Because of interest, I do it to people who meet for the first time, and it is still a matter of course?
At this moment, Zhou Yao deeply understood why Wu Ma Qing would remind him. (To be continued.) )
