"We need to get out of here as soon as possible, can you still go?"

Xia Fan returned to Luo and asked gently.

The blow just now had almost exhausted all his qi, and what he wanted to do most at this moment was to lie down and rest for a while. However, Xia Fan also knew that the battle was not over, the roof beams on both sides of the city wall had been ignited, and this place would soon be engulfed in flames, and he had to evacuate the breach before then.

Luo tried lightly a few times but couldn't get up, and judging from the pain on her face, the moment she was hit by the black rope should have hurt a lot.

"I'll lend you a hand. Xia Fan stretched out his hand to the other party and said, if it was before, he would have bent down to carry Luo lightly. "Rest assured, no one will see here. ”

Luo was slightly stunned, as if he wanted to laugh, but as soon as the corners of his mouth turned up, he pulled the sore spot, and he bit his mouth and gasped, "Do you regard me as a fool who can't eat the past and don't know how to change? Compared to this, the second half of the sentence is more likely to lead people to misunderstand! It's just to help each other and fight side by side, even if you see it?"

With that, she grabbed Xia Fan's hand and pulled herself up.

"Uh......" Xia Fan didn't know what to take for a while, he felt as if he hadn't spoken the right word in front of the other party.

"Let's go, didn't you say you had to get out of here as soon as possible? Luo urged softly.

"You watch your step. He shook his head helplessly, and helped the other party to carefully walk towards the bottom of the ruins.

Compared to the huge difference in speed and slowness during the climb, this time both of them were at the same level.

The only thing that has improved is probably that a raging fire has been ignited behind them, at least the charm can't attack them.

Just as he was halfway up, Xia Fan suddenly realized that the shouts and spells above his head had died down, and the town seemed to be shrouded in silence.

His heart sank.

It's still too late to act on their own, and the other candidates didn't survive until the moment the demon fell.

If the line has been broken, their situation is extremely dangerous. In their current state, any evil cult can put them to death.

Luo Qingqing also noticed this, but her expression did not change, and she stopped and listened for a long time before she whispered, "No...... Listen to it again. ”

Xia Fan listened attentively for a moment, and couldn't help but show a surprised expression—there was a gradual movement in the direction of the city wall, but it was not the sound of a fight or a flight, but it was like someone cheering.

This was not a hallucination, as the sound quickly spread in all directions. More and more people joined in the cheers, and the oppressive feeling of the night seemed to disappear.

It's still early for dawn, what the hell is going on up there?

The two glanced at each other, and they all accelerated their steps.

When Xia Fan and Luo finally climbed the city wall, an amazing scenery suddenly appeared in front of them-

The thick black fog in the distance had completely faded, and the night was full of stars, but more dazzling than the stars was the "spiritual fire" swaying on the ground. They come and go, like some kind of gentle plant, sometimes turquoise, sometimes lavender, all the way from the town to the end of the view.

Compared with the erratic and unpredictable in ordinary times, this scene has a sense of peace and tranquility at this moment. Under the reflection of the spiritual fire, the earth seemed to become a sea of light with microwaves.

That is the relic left by Mei, and it is also the certificate of passing the taxi examination.

The candidates who remained on the wall either raised their arms and shouted or congratulated each other – at least for a moment, they saw the people around them as partners to fight side by side.

The night of the Great Wilderness is over.

......

A day later, all the references gathered again in the middle of Castle Peak Town.

Presumably because of the sleepless nights in the final battle, the Privy Council gave ample time to rest. During this long-lost free time, the atmosphere in the town was extremely harmonious, from pulling relationships to calling brothers and sisters, everyone seemed to have completely forgotten that a few days ago they were still suspicious of each other, and even fought over a bottle of spiritual fire source.

Xia Fan also learned a lot of news in the chatter - for example, the residents of Qingshan Town are all played by the Privy Council, and for example, there are official invigilators hidden among the candidates; in short, the night of the Great Wilderness seems to be thrilling, but the whole process is under the control of the Privy Council, and the injured are also treated as soon as possible, except for a few unlucky people, the loss of the candidates is not as big as imagined.

This confirms Xia Fan's guess to some extent.

The purpose of the Shikao is to select talents for Qiguo, not some death game, and there are risks, but the overall is basically within a controllable range.

Of course, the most talked-about thing was the demon-slaying thunder last night. Due to the lack of eyewitnesses, speculation mainly focused on the heads of the three families - after all, the only ones who were able to pull out the lightning strike wood and were willing to use it in the taxi examination were the best of the three families.

Among them, there are many supporters of Fang Xiandao, considering the perspective of the candidates, Fei Nian was first rescued by Luo Qingqing, and Fang Xiandao helped Luo Qingqing, it is not surprising that there is such a result.

And Xia Fan had no intention of being in the limelight, and when he talked about the topic, he basically said a word, even if someone remembered that he had fallen off the city wall, he was fooled by the reason that the scene was too chaotic and he didn't pay attention at all.

After everyone gathered, the invigilator who had appeared on the first day finally appeared.

This time, he was accompanied by a huge wooden board covered with red silk.

Obviously, that is the "red list" used to publicize the names of those who have passed, which corresponds to the gold list in the scientific examination.

This also made the boiling crowd instantly quiet.

"First of all, I have to congratulate you all here. The invigilator walked up to the long table and spoke in a much more enthusiastic tone than when the rules were read, "After seven days of training, you can still stand here and successfully achieve the exam goals, you have already proved that you are qualified to join the Privy Council!"

"I announce the results of the Castle Peak Town Taxi Examination as follows: 401 people have been referenced, and 189 people have finally passed. Among the eliminated candidates, 152 violated Article 1, 29 violated Article 2, and 31 violated Article 3. The process and results are in accordance with the regulations of the Privy Council Examination, and this examination is valid!"

The crowd burst into applause.

There is nothing controversial about the first and second articles, and they are basically those who quit early and put their goals in three years' time. The key lies in the third point - the Privy Council apparently put those candidates who fled without a fight into the category of murdering candidates of the same period, which means that even if they get the source of the spiritual fire, they will not be able to pass the exam.

Those candidates who stayed on the city wall were naturally happy to see such a result, and they were full of praise for the rewards and punishments of the Privy Council, only Xia Fan was a little unimpressed. In his opinion, at that time, the defense line could collapse at any time, and most of the candidates' will to fight was only half a catty.
