Chapter 127: Ice and Snow
The wilderness full of antiquity is full of a large number of craggy strange rocks, and on the ground, the moss-covered stone slabs are arranged in an orderly manner, and if you look down from above, you can see a huge magic array pattern. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Suddenly, with the flickering of hundreds of rays of light, the originally empty wilderness was suddenly crowded with people.
Coming out of the faint dizziness, Su Wen looked around, and first noticed a huge difference - in the conference hall a few seconds ago, although most of the magic apprentices were wearing mage robes, they were not standard after all, and they looked different, but now, more than three hundred people in the venue were all wearing monotonous and simple linen shirts, and each of them was carrying a bag on their shoulders. Although the linen shirt is simple, it does not look rough on the body, and the bag behind it is a little heavy, and it seems to contain a lot of things.
Although this situation was not unexpected by Su Wen because he had already done his homework, when he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be a little amazed at the subtlety and complexity of high-level spatial magic.
To call it magical, it's not an exaggeration.
It was a bit noisy, and most of the magic apprentices were feeling the change, and they were in the same position as in the conference hall, so quite a few familiar apprentices had begun to whisper.
"Silence. ”
As a dull but penetrating voice sounded, the noise was immediately suppressed. Su Wen looked up and found that ten magus were floating in the air around them in a circle, and behind them, the blue sky was exceptionally clear. As for the dozens of great mages who were originally in the conference hall, none of them appeared, and it seemed that they had not entered this trial space.
When the voice in the wilderness calmed down, the magister who had made the voice continued to speak.
"Regarding the rules of the field trial, I think you have already understood it in advance, if you don't understand, you have a detailed instruction manual in your bag, as long as you are in the mood, you can take it out and read it at any time. ”
"But I want to remind you that when you officially enter the trial, your appearance may appear in the Circle Arena at any time, where more than 100,000 people are watching your performance, if you don't want to be embarrassed, then cheer up and show all your courage and strength!"
Except for the voice of the middle-aged magister, there was no sound in the calm wasteland, not even the slightest sound of wind.
"St. Peter's College does not produce cowards, and in the trial space, even if you risk your life, you should show your strongest self. The Magus paused, and continued in an unquestioning voice, "As magicians, many of you may only have two times in your lives to be able to risk your lives without worrying about death, once here, once on the day you fell, take advantage of the opportunity, do you hear me?"
"Clear......
Finally, a sparse sound rang out from the crowd.
The Magister nodded, and with a wave of his hand, several mirror-smooth oval portals slowly emerged around the crowd, emitting a soft milky white glow.
"You have a maximum of ten minutes to prepare, and then you will be forcibly teleported, and if you prepare in advance, you can also choose a random portal to teleport in advance. Finally, I wish you all the best in your trials. ”
In the next second, the ten magisters did not stop, they turned into ten streamers, and flew in different directions to the sky, leaving only this group of magic apprentices who participated in the trial.
Su Wen did not rush into the portal, in fact, almost everyone was fully prepared for this trial, they did not teleport immediately, but checked their status one after another, for fear that something would go wrong. After all, although the maps of the trials are completely different every year, the form and rules are basically the same, so there are still a lot of relevant materials, and even ordinary viewers outside can buy the deluxe thickened version of the detailed strategy, not to mention the players who need to play in person.
Su Wen moved his muscles and bones, sweated a little, and then opened his bags and counted them. The bag contained a map, a strange-looking compass, a rule book, a barely half-fed dry ration, a dagger, and miscellaneous items including two blue magic crystals. After making sure everything was correct, he put the package back on his back, intending to choose the nearest portal to teleport.
But at this moment, a deliberately muffled voice came from behind him.
"Coward, I hope I don't run into you in my trials. ”
There was no need to look back, Su Wen knew who the owner of the voice was, but he was sure that according to the position where he was sitting in the conference hall, there was absolutely no Evans around him.
Well, that's why he came over in order to say a cruel word to himself, and it was really hard for him.
Su Wen turned his head and smiled brightly.
"Each other, each other. ”
Evans' face was not very good, but he snorted coldly, picked up his bags, and walked straight towards the portal. Su Wen followed closely without care, the distance between the two was only less than one meter, if someone who didn't know the inside story saw it, he would probably only think that they were familiar friends. Ten seconds later, in Evans' vigilant afterglow, Su Wen watched him pass through the portal and disappear from his sight.
He didn't doubt that with the degree of hatred that this Tridis Academy genius hated him, if the two really met during the trial, whether he wanted to or not, he was afraid that the outcome would be life and death.
After all, does he really have a mocking face, or is Evans deeply in love with Professor Lila?
In fact, although there is no explicit prohibition on the participants from fighting each other, the winner will even be able to obtain all the items and even points of the loser. But even if different participants meet by chance, most of them will choose to fight together and work together, and there is almost no intrigue, let alone a sword confrontation, which can be described as a group of harmony.
As for why?
The whole arena is watching the live broadcast, and it's not a situation where there will be heavy losses if you lose, if it weren't for the fact that there are hatred points like Su Wen and Evans, or a very small number of geniuses who don't care about it at all, there are really few people who will have the courage to shoot at their future classmates. Of course, these two situations happen almost every year, after all, this event is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself, and PVP is obviously a popular plot for the masses, but after all, it is only a few cases: the map of the trial space is almost the size of half of the Tuscan province, covering an area of hundreds of square kilometers, with a variety of complex terrain and climate, under such conditions, even if you want to meet other contestants, it is a matter of luck.
In other words, even if Evans wants to scare himself, the probability of wanting to run into it is very small.
Without much thought, Su Wen quickly stepped into the portal.
Another burst of light flickered, Su Wen only felt that the temperature around him had plummeted, and before even the scenery could appear clearly, a large unreasonable biting cold wind was blowing in his face, and snowflakes were constantly falling on his head and face.
Su Wen knew what he was going through almost at the same time - the trial space was placed in random locations and had a kaleidoscopic climate, so there was always a small group of less fortunate participants who would be sent to a more extreme environment.
The light dissipated, and sure enough, he saw the goose feathers and snow in the sky.
Visibility was low, and with limited vision, Su Wen could only guess that he was in an open canyon, because of the endless outlines of mountains on both sides, and the terrain was uneven. He shivered almost immediately, with the single clothes on his body, in this environment, let alone gaining points through trials, just staying for a while and a half, I am afraid that he will be frozen.
Fortunately, Su Wen knew that this situation would generally be compensated to keep the difficulty of all participants at a close level, so Su Wen looked around for a moment and soon found a broken wooden box less than ten meters away.
Thankfully, there was a padded jacket inside. Although it looks very shabby, as if it has been discarded for a long time, the thickness is gratifying, not to mention that Su Wen is not afraid of the cold at all, at least it is not a big problem to support it for a while. Putting it on, feeling the gradual slowdown of the loss of body temperature, Su Wen continued to rummage through the wooden box, but did not find anything, but in this kind of ice and snow, the wooden box itself has a lot of value, at least dry enough to raise a fire. At that moment, he carried it on his shoulders and carried it with him.
After doing these things, only a short minute had passed, but Su Wen's feet buried in the deep snow had already begun to get cold.
In this environment, nothing can be done, and the top priority is to find a way to leave, even if you can't get out of the snow completely, you have to find a cave to start a fire, and then think about it in the long run.
Since he was "randomly" teleported to this place with a harsh climate, the surroundings will naturally not be barren and there is no way out.
Taking the knife and compass in his bag, Su Wen knew that he didn't have enough time.
This compass is an extremely important item in the survival trial, because the goal of the trial is to obtain points through exploration, adventure, battle, etc., and use it to rank and reward, and the time limit of the trial is limited to three days, so it is naturally impossible to waste it in an aimless search, so the pointer on the compass will always point to the closest event point to its location, so that participants can easily find the target.
He glanced at the compass, which was marked with simple scales, and the hands pointed straight to the outline of the mountains hundreds of meters away.
Su Wen did not hesitate and began to trek through the kneeless snow, because the road was uneven, he needed to carefully test the truth with every step, so in a short distance of a few hundred meters, it even took him nearly ten minutes to walk.
As Su Wen approached, the outline of the mountain range became clearer and clearer, and he could faintly see something strange.
Facing the direction of the compass pointer, in front of the steep snow-capped mountains, the mouth of a semicircular cave dug by hand was almost half buried by snow, only the vertical wooden pillars on both sides exuded a different color from pure white;
It looks like it's the entrance to an abandoned mine. (To be continued.) )
