The sky was full of wind and snow, and a snowspout blew from time to time on the way forward.

The wind is biting, and the whole environment is like entering an ice world.

"In this assessment, won't we be frozen to death before we find anything?" Xu Wei shook the snow on his body and couldn't help complaining.

The others looked at each other and shook their heads speechlessly.

At this time, the snow stone cliff is extremely rough and wild compared with the quiet and picturesque scenery that usually comes in, and it is full of crises. From time to time, slippery icicles fall from a high altitude, and you have to pay attention to stepping on the traps hunted by hunters hidden by the snow, and you also need to guard against the obstacles of the monsters and other teams around you, which has an absolutely fatal impact on Xu Wei and others who have never survived in a harsh environment.

At this moment, everyone has the feeling of punching the cotton.

The morale was high, and I wanted to solve the problem in one go, but I didn't expect the situation to become beyond my expectations.

At this moment, Lin Huaimian, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, as if he had discovered something.

He looked around with a solemn face, trotted some distance with his legs raised, half-crouched on the ground, and carefully observed something. After a while, he turned his head and said, "It's not good, there were group demon beasts passing through just now, and there are quite a few of them, and we will definitely encounter them in the past now." ”

"What are you kidding, a bunch of monsters? There are still a lot of them, and in this hellish weather, I feel my hands and feet are a little stiff from the cold. Xu Wei said in surprise.

"Indeed, in this case, the seventh layer that can exert its own strength is already good. It's okay to have one or a few, but if it's a group, if you encounter it, it's a little dangerous. Xiao Jingjing frowned and said.

Lin Huaimin walked back and said solemnly: "There will definitely be no mistake, the feces and footprints left along the way show that there are definitely a lot of them." With our current state, it is difficult to deal with so many demon beasts at the same time, and even if we can solve it, it is estimated that we will be exhausted, and there is no way to compete with other teams at all. Otherwise, let's find another way to avoid them, lest there be unnecessary fighting. ”

"However, if we take a detour, it takes a lot more time. Not to mention that other teams may make breakthroughs during this time, with our current state, how long can we hold out in this wind and snow?" Lin Jinqing bit her lip and said unwillingly.

"Why don't I summon a little guy to go ahead and check it out first?" Long Xiaowu said to everyone.

"In this environment, summoned beasts can't hide their tracks at all, and it's easy for them to spot and ambush us. Xiao Jingjing shook her head and explained.

"So what are we going to do now?

Everyone turned their attention to Xiao Jingjing, as the brainchild of the team, she has a higher judgment and analysis ability than everyone, and she can only pin her hope at this moment.

Xiao Jingjing's face was solemn, and she said solemnly: "The situation here is very different from before, far exceeding my estimates. We really should be a little careful before figuring out our surroundings. At this, she paused for a moment, then continued, "But we don't have time to go back and find our way back." Therefore, from now on, Lin Huaimian will lead the team and be responsible for the investigation to avoid being attacked by them. The rest of us concentrate and prepare for a battle that may arise at any time. Since we are here, we should have been prepared for this a long time ago. ”

Everyone nodded slightly, and a glimmer of Ling Ran flashed in their eyes.

Xiao Jingjing's words ignited the flames in everyone's hearts, since they came here, how could they retreat because the enemy was strong? If they really did this, not to mention whether they could pass the assessment, would they be afraid to face the Netherworld Demon that was a hundred times more dangerous than this in the future?

Now that they have made a decision, everyone will not say anything more and continue to move forward slowly.

As soon as he walked out not far away, Lin Huaimeng's eyes froze, he looked ahead for a moment, waved his hand to everyone, and quickly hid on a hill. There is only one road up and down the hill, so you don't have to worry about a sneak attack from behind.

In the process of leading everyone to hide, Lin Huainian turned out a series of hunting trap tools from his bag like a trick, and carefully placed them on the path that the team passed.

"Lin Huaimian, do you want to go to the Divine Arrow Villa?" Lin Jinqing looked at all this with wide eyes and asked out loud.

"Well, I'm particularly interested in archery and traps, and my dream is to become a sharpshooter at every step. Lin Huaimin nodded and said.

"What you just did, it feels like you're already very professional, and you'll definitely be able to get in. Xu Wei patted Lin Huaimian on the shoulder and encouraged.

Everyone had just been hiding for a short time, and they saw a group of sturdy demon beasts in the distance marching towards this side, and the yellow pressed figures, like locusts, there were at least dozens of them. It was actually the tiger demon in the tiger ditch, and I don't know when it broke through the academy's defenses and flowed so much into this snow stone cliff.

When they saw that most of them were high-level tiger demons who could walk upright, at least equivalent to the ninth level of basic martial arts, the faces of the people on the hill became even more solemn, and they each pulled out the weapons they were wearing, and their palms were full of sweat.

There is no doubt that if Lin Huaiyi hadn't discovered their traces earlier, their team would have encountered this group of demon beasts on the avenue, and once they were surrounded, they would definitely not have lasted long.

"You're really a disciple of the Divine Arrow. ”

Everyone looked at Lin Huai's gaze and suddenly became a little admiring.

The young man who had been taken casually because of Xu Wei's relationship before really underestimated him. I didn't expect that the talent for reconnaissance and observation was so high, and he was really a natural disciple of the Divine Arrow.

Xu Wei looked at Lin Huaimeng with a little more relief in his eyes, and the smile on his face was enough to represent that he was proud of his brother.

As time passed, the demon beasts that had not found the traces of Xu Wei's team gradually disappeared. After this episode, the identity of the scout in Lin Huai's team was completely recognized and accepted by his companions.

Seeing so many Tiger Ditch Demon Beasts appearing here, Xiao Jingjing and the others frowned, and finally realized the danger of this assessment. Even if they are not careful, there is a real possibility of death.

"This assessment is really not real, how can we be involved in such a dangerous thing, and deliberately use the task to disperse our personnel, aren't they afraid that our entire army will be annihilated?" Lin Jinqing waved the warlock staff in his hand and said angrily.

"The sect does things, and naturally they have their reasons. Let us feel the threat of death in advance, which will do us good in the future. And I am sure that they will not sit idly by and watch us die. Xiao Jingjing's eyes shone with wisdom, and she said affirmatively.

"You mean, they ......" Xu Wei opened his mouth to say something, but saw Xiao Jingjing shaking his head at him slightly, so he immediately stopped.

"It's good to know in your heart, there's no need to explain. Xiao Jingjing reminded.

"Then what else do we have to worry about, just push it all the way through. Xu Wei said excitedly.

"How can it be so simple? If we show it too obviously, the mastermind behind it may find out in advance and escape. In this way, we will not only lose marks in the eyes of the examiner, but will be busy in vain. Lin Jinqing said.

"The best thing to do now is for us to act as if we don't know anything, to move forward as we did before, to look for clues along the way, to find a way to make the mastermind think that we are alone, and to show up and attack us ourselves, so that we will not only complete the task, but also not let the examiner find out that we have found him. Xiao Jingjing made the final decision, then glanced at the crowd and said, "What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other, smiled in unison, and said in unison, "That's it." ”

Suddenly, a strong faith filled everyone's hearts.
