The epitome of the ghost wolf gradually enlarged in Lin Jue's pupils, and he already felt the aura of death enveloping him. Not only was there no fear in my heart, but there was also a faint expectation.

"I will be able to see my mother after I die. ”

Shout!

A blinding beam of light suddenly shot from the depths of the forest, and the arrows pierced through the sky and directly pierced the wolf's incomparably hard head.

The ghost wolf didn't even have time to react, and stopped in the middle of the forward pounce, and fell to the ground with a whimper, unwilling to look down at the enemy who was close at hand, but the glow in his eyes gradually dimmed, and after a while, he was completely lifeless.

"What a fierce attack!"

Lin Jue's spirit froze, and his eyes were cast into the depths of the forest. In the dimness, a round black shadow walked out leisurely. looked at Lin Jue lying on the ground, grinning.

"You kid is fierce enough, the star warrior can slaughter an adult wolf with one product. He's a man!"

The man had already come to the front as he spoke, and after seeing his appearance clearly, Lin Jue inexplicably thought of an animal in his mind—Rui Beast.

The legendary beast that can bring good luck to people probably looks like him.

This person is the same age as Lin Jue, but his body is very plump. The belly of a rabbit with a tapp's belly. The mouth of a big-faced rat with a dough. A pair of eyes are more like foxes, revealing a cunning and obscene, and in general they look very festive.

It was said that such a prominent appearance would hardly be drowned in the crowd, but Lin Jue really couldn't remember if he had seen him in the col just now.

"Thank you, brother, for coming to the rescue. Lin Jueqiang sat up and thanked him with a fist.

"Ahem, you're welcome!" the fat man waved his hand, but said very casually. "You're here to participate in the Heavenly Dao Academy's assessment?"

"Of course, who would be idle in such a place. Lin Jue smiled bitterly.

"I'm not. The fat man said.

"You're not here for the assessment?" Lin Jue wondered, this fat man was really the kind of person who was idle and panicked.

"To be precise, the purpose of my coming here is not all for the assessment, I have more important things - to make a little money here. ”

"Come here to make money?" Lin Jue asked even more puzzled.

The fat man smiled lewdly and said:

"Most of the people who come here are the children of the families of Sky City, who have been clothed and fed since they were children, and if I save their lives when their lives are in danger, I will definitely repay them with a lot of money. ”

Lin Jue suddenly realized that the person in front of him had come here to fish in troubled waters and get some oil and water.

Seeing that Lin Jue was still indifferent lying on the ground, the fat man couldn't help urging:

"Brother, what I said is clear enough, you should also express it. ”

Lin Jue suddenly understood, but he had been poor since he was born, and the little savings he had left were also given to his mother-in-law who sold melons when he was leaving. Now he has nothing to do and is so poor that he is tinkling. I can only say bitterly. "Do you think I look like a half-boy?"

When the fat man heard this, he carefully looked at Lin Jue's whole body, and saw that his extremely shabby appearance did not have the luxury of a son of a family, and he couldn't help but look bitter:

"Well, it's been a long job! I'd better try my luck somewhere else. But our business is not over, you boy owes me a life-saving feeling, don't forget!" the fat man stopped pestering after speaking, and hurried towards the depths of the forest.

"Lin will never dare to forget!"

Because the appearance of the wolf has delayed him too much, I don't know if the others will be there soon. There will be no unknown dangers on the road ahead, he must speed up, otherwise he may be eliminated. Lin Jue only hurriedly breathed for an hour, and after recovering some strength a little, he marched again.

The afterimage of the treetops was obliquely shining, it must have been dusk, and it was not a few hours before it got dark, and Lin Jue couldn't help but tighten his heart.

Fortunately, there was no more trouble along the way, and some beasts were only not highly intelligent, and they got rid of it after a few rounds. After some chasing, the fifty-mile forest is estimated to be coming to an end. It's so abrasive before it's a formal assessment, this Heavenly Dao Academy is really not a comfortable place.

The second half of the journey was quiet and a little weird, hundreds of people participated in the assessment, but except for the fat man before, Lin Jue didn't meet anyone, which was a bit unreasonable, and I couldn't help but be more alert when I thought of this.

Towards the end of the day, the area of the forest is gradually decreasing, and it is still impermeable everywhere, accumulating a thick miasma, which not only has extremely poor visibility, but also makes people numb and slow to react if inhaled, which is undoubtedly fatal in this situation.

Surviving in a harsh and unknown environment depends not only on the level of star power, but also on having extremely high alertness and extremely fast reaction ability, if you can achieve these things, you must not be a mediocre talent. This seemingly simple assessment will actually screen out most of the participants.

I don't know why Lin Jue's heart is getting more and more uneasy.

"It's coming soon, so don't be surprised. ”

Sand ~ sand

I'm really afraid of something. Before Lin Jue's voice fell, there was a sudden sound in the grass in the distance, as if some living creature was swimming on the ground.

"Is it a snake?"

Lin Jue immediately became vigilant, his eyes fixed on the surroundings.

Sand ~ sand

The voices were getting closer and closer, and there was a noise in all directions, all rushing towards Lin Jue. He didn't know what it was, but it was fierce and mysterious, and he had a very poor view from standing in the bushes, and if there was any danger, he would have been too late to guard against it, so he jumped up and prepared to climb the canopy to watch for a while.

However, at the moment when Lin Jue got up. Countless vines suddenly rose from the grass around them, their roots were the thickness of their wrists, and they rolled directly into the air like snake letters, tightly winding the forest. The vine seemed to have a paralyzing effect, and before he had time to urge the star power, he felt his whole body go soft, and then he fainted in front of him.

......

"Hey, Lin Jue, wake up!"

In a daze, I heard a voice next to me calling out to me. "Hmm, there are still acquaintances here?" Lin Jue struggled to open his eyelids, and a fat face suddenly appeared in front of him, startling him to wake up instantly.

A closer look at it from a distance, it was indeed an acquaintance, the fat man I met earlier. At this moment, they were both hanging upside down from the branches of an ancient tree, and their bodies were bound up with vines one by one.

"What's going on?" Lin Jue asked blankly.

"Alas, the boat capsized in the gutter and was plotted by the villain. The fat man looked a little angry and said:

"This willow tree was deliberately injected with animal blood, and now it has some animal nature, and it catches people when it sees them, so as to keep absorbing the star power in our bodies. ”

Lin Jue glanced around, only to find that what he had captured was a huge willow tree, the main trunk was five people hugging each other, not to mention the thousands of years old low-hanging willow branches like cow hair.

The location where this willow tree grows happens to be the only way to the exit of the forest, and less than half of the people who can walk here can go here. But now there are nearly 100 people trapped in this tree alone.

It seems that this initiator is trying to prevent others from competing for a place with him, but for his own purposes, this trick is really despicable.

Coincidentally, Lin Jue saw two more acquaintances while swaying left and right, that is, Nangong Lin and Nangong Yu, but their complexions were extremely poor and they looked very weak.

These willow branches are really strange, and Lin Jue also slowly felt that the already barren star power in his body was slowly passing along the branches, and if he continued like this, he would be sucked dry in less than two hours.

Among the crowd, only the fat man was in a good state, with a ruddy complexion and well-proportioned breathing, and he didn't seem to be affected much.

"Why are you okay?" Lin Jue said with some curiosity.

"Cut! Can I be like you? The young master is a second-grade star warrior, and his star power is certainly stronger than yours. This dead tree wants to suck me dry? I'm afraid it doesn't have that appetite. The fat man said proudly.

"You can handle it, but the others can't stand it. If you don't pass the assessment, you will lose your life too much. Is there any way to save them. ”

"Yo, I can't see that you're quite righteous. The fat man smiled. But I still don't care.

Lin Jue thought about it for a while, and said in a sincere tone:

"Look at the dress of these people, all of them are gorgeous clothes, and they are obviously the children of rich families. Aren't you trying to make money? There are hundreds of people here, and if you save them all, wouldn't you be able to make a lot of money?"

The fat man shook his head to make his mind clearer, so as to calculate whether this deal was worth it.

"yes! I didn't expect to lose a big deal. The fat man pouted in the direction of the root of the tree, and whispered, "Although this dead tree is a beast, it has no intelligence. It doesn't matter if you take the blood of the beast out. ”

Lin Jue looked at the root of the tree, saw a trace of red light flowing like blood in the rhizome, and said without thinking:

"I'm going to cut off its roots!"
