Chapter 20: Out of the Wasteland
The third wilderness survival test will be more difficult than the first two, and after three days of drifting in the wilderness, the team that can overcome the difficulties and come out first will take the first place.
On the last day, the teams of the junior class gathered from all directions towards the designated exit, and when they met in pairs, they would inevitably fight to the death.
Of course, at this exit lurked the middle repair arranged by the main exam, and if a team that didn't have a long eye bumped into it, it really suffered.
After Jiang Liu'er, Yin Xinyue and the two Yuan brothers escaped from the encirclement of the fierce beasts in the central part of the country, they had been worried, and they could naturally think that the greater danger was still to come, and the atmosphere in the team was extremely tense.
On the last day of Wendaozhuang's backhill wasteland, many students were killed by various traps and beast attacks, and for the beginner class students who had not yet performed a mission, this was undoubtedly not a crucial training in their growth.
This is not only a test of individual strength, but also the mutual assistance and cooperation between the team, only this kind of friendship concluded in the cruel actual combat, is the hope of Donglu Village to become strong.
Although the strength of the two Yuan brothers in the team is weak, and they encounter some twists and turns in the middle of the team to delay time, Jiang Liuer will definitely not leave anyone behind, although he wants to win the first place more than anyone else.
At the exit of the wasteland is a swamp of waterholes, overgrown with reeds and withered lotuses, and the red-crowned red-crowned crane leaves countless claw marks on the soft mud, pecking at fish, insects, shrimps and crabs in a panic, as if aware of the approaching danger and ready to fly high.
The five-person team led by Nan Huairou successfully arrived at the Reed Swamp, and the four boys followed closely behind.
At this time, in the depths of this reed, there was a person waiting for them to enter the urn.
The lonely boat drifted out of the stream, and a swordsman with his hair tied in a scarf stood on the bow of the boat, his figure disappearing from time to time in the reeds, seemingly with his eyes closed, but his facial features were keen to observe the movements around him.
Seeing that Nan Huairou and the five of them were exhausted when they arrived at the swamp, they thought that they had settled all the predicaments, and their hearts relaxed, and they laughed and talked in a low voice, feeling that victory was just around the corner.
The swordsman was obviously arranged here for the third main exam, and seeing that Nan Huairou's team was so unsettled, a murderous smile appeared on his face.
A sword came out of the pond, startling countless white cranes!
The loud sound between the fluttering wings frightened Nan Huairou and the others into tightening their minds, and the look of sorrow on their faces retreated into panic.
Nan Huairou's eyes opened almost instinctively, mobilizing the infinite flow of qi between heaven and earth, and the whole swamp was like a hurricane coming, a patch of reeds still existed, and a man in white and a sword suddenly flew out, flying fiercely.
The four people behind him were pushed a few steps by the Gangfeng Shock stirred up by the Pupil Technique, and they all raised their swords to block them, and then they suddenly leaped to meet each other with their swords, and countless Pure Eye Blades flew out from the golden bottle and weeping willows in Nan Huairou's eyes, covering the four of them to fight.
At this time, there were only three teams rushing to the swamp, and Jiang Liu'er's team heard the sound of battle on both sides, so they did not dare to rush over to investigate, but they went deep into the reeds but did not find anyone to stop them, only found a corpse on the side of the stream, the clothes were tattered and the long sword was broken, it must have experienced a tragic battle, and their faces were still a little ruddy, and it seemed that they had just died.
Seeing this person's clothes and appearance, the two Yuan brothers almost shouted in unison:
"Uncle Junior!"
Jiang Liu'er didn't know who the little uncle the Yuan brothers were talking about, but it must be someone they knew, and it must be someone from Donglu Village, why did they die tragically here for no reason?
"Uncle Xiao must have been arranged here by the main exam, so ...... Someone actually killed him!" The two Yuan brothers were stunned, and then their expressions became extremely frightened, and they looked around tremblingly.
"This ...... Who is Uncle Junior?" Yin Xinyue asked weakly.
"Oh, little uncle, isn't it just ......" Jiang Liu'er interrupted them as the two Yuan brothers scrambled to answer, and a slight boo came out of his mouth.
Jiang Liu'er stared at the dense reeds in front of her, and faintly saw the shiny black and white leather robe flickering in the dim light between the extremely narrow gaps.
The three people behind him followed Jiang Liu'er's gaze, and for a while, the four of them held their breath and condensed, and they didn't dare to move half a step at all, the strength of the tragically dead little uncle was at least at the high cultivation level, and he could easily kill such a strong enemy, they couldn't afford to provoke it.
Jiang Liu'er made a retreat gesture nervously, but he didn't see any movement from anyone, and turned his head in surprise, and at the moment when he turned his head, the mysterious man in the reeds was already standing behind the four people at some point.
The visitor was dressed in a wide robe with black and white stripes, with stars between the stripes, a gray pointed hat painted with a high mountain drum tower, and a pompous smile on his face, as if he had just killed someone, and this smile was chilling and ugly, with a rose in his left hand and a bloody short sword in his right hand.
Jiang Liu'er knew that the comer was not good, the Chengying Sword in his hand had already gathered qi and soared, and the blade of the sword was forced to the throat of the mysterious man in an instant, only to see the mysterious man's left hand holding a rose and raised his little finger, and the strange illusion was launched in an instant, the Chengying Sword froze, and the four of them could not move their hands and feet.
The Chengying Sword came out of his hand, and even if Jiang Liu'er had the Nine Swords that could penetrate the illusion, he couldn't use it at this time, and at this time, the mysterious man giggled twice, handed the rose in his hand to Yin Xinyue, and muttered gloomily:
"I won't kill you, I'll hand it over to Nan Huairou for me. ”
After finishing speaking, the whole person turned into a puff of black smoke and dispersed......
"Demon Gong, this person has fallen into the Demon Dao!"
The two Yuan brothers were well-informed and knew that this person's method of escaping was a magic technique, and they were speechless.
Jiang Liu'er stretched out her hand to take Chengying back, looked at the roses in Yin Xinyue's hand, thoughtfully, and slowly whispered:
"The demons are outward, and they are insignificant...... Let's go!"
The roadblockers planted here have been solved by the people of the Demon Dao, which has saved a lot of trouble, but the little uncle mentioned by the two Yuan brothers was killed in the wilderness, and the matter had to be reported to Xianxiu.
The four of them carried the corpse of the little uncle and took the lead out of the wasteland within the specified time, and based on the results of the first two literary and martial arts exams, Jiang Liuer won the first place in the graduation exam.
His progress and achievements have impressed the villagers, but they are only impressive, and the kind of idea he expects to settle with everyone is undoubtedly whimsical.
Jiang Liu'er may have unintentionally entered Yunyu Pavilion by mistake, or he may have ulterior motives, but he just violated the taboo in Donglu Village, and everyone thought he was an ominous person.
The bodies of the four people brought out of the wasteland were confirmed by the medical hospital that Uncle Xiao had indeed been hit by magic to death, and Jiang Liuer was taken to the intelligence station to assist in the investigation of Xiao Yulou.
As for the rose that Yin Xinyue promised the mysterious person to give to Nan Huairou, it has completely become a mystery in Donglu Village......
