Chapter 5: Examinations

If the large stone room is dim, people are in it, as if they have come to an underground mausoleum, and the atmosphere is calm and chilling.

From time to time, the strange cries of bats could be heard in the stone chamber, like the yaksha imps wandering in the Yama Temple, making a mournful tone announcing death.

Ling Xu quietly walked in this dark stone room like a cage, and in front of him was a row of hidden compartments with no end in sight.

The dark and mysterious mechanism compartment exudes an aggressive momentum, as if as long as a person walks in, countless sharp arrows and hidden weapons will be shot out.

"Where is this?" Ling Xu seemed to have come to a place he didn't know at all, and the only way out of this stone room was the endless hidden passage of the mechanism in front of him.

Ling Xu's consciousness was a little blurred, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he wanted to step into this dangerous and unknown dark grid.

At this time, a swarthy bat flew in front of Ling Xu, and suddenly the bat suddenly stood up and rubbed against Ling Xu's face, and there was a slight itching sensation.

Ling Xu hurriedly pushed away the hateful bat in front of him with his hand, and as a result, an unbelievable scene happened.

The bat that was pushed away let out a hoarse hiss, and the other bats in the stone room seemed to respond to the bat's call, all of them fanned their wings to swing rapidly towards Ling Xu......

A ray of sunlight filtered in through the window, reflecting several brilliant pillars of light on the wall.

Ling Xu snapped open his eyes from the nightmare and saw a delicate and white hand pinching a sheep's beard-like weed swaying on his face.

Su Lin'er was sitting on the edge of Ling Xu's bed, holding a white sheep's beard grass in her hand, and was teasing Ling Xu who was sleeping soundly, seeing Ling Xu suddenly wake up, Su Lin'er hurriedly put away the sheep's beard grass in her hand, and asked softly, "What's the matter, Brother Ling Xu, did it scare you?"

Seeing the naughty and lovely Su Lin'er in front of him, Ling Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "No, it's just that I had a strange nightmare just now." ”

"What nightmare?" asked Su Lin'er curiously.

"It's a dream that I'm in a strange place, full of deadly traps and man-eating bats. Ling Xu gestured with his hand as he spoke.

"Huh?" Su Lin'er was surprised, and asked with a look of mixed feelings: "Then what happened later, did those bats hurt you?"

A hint of evil flashed in Ling Xu's eyes, and he continued: "Just when those bats were about to eat me, a goddess suddenly appeared in front of me and got rid of all the man-eating bats, and that goddess actually looked exactly like Lin'er. ”

After hearing this, Lin'er frowned and pouted: "Brother Ling Xu, are you teasing me?" Lin'er is not a goddess, Lin'er will always be Lin'er, and she is Brother Ling Xu's good Lin'er. ”

As she spoke, Su Lin'er saw a yellowed and worn book beside Ling Xu, and asked, "Brother Ling Xu, what kind of book is this?"

Ling Xu picked up the secret book and put it behind him, covering it up, "It's just an inconsequential book." ”

Seeing this, Su Lin'er didn't ask too much questions, so she said, "Brother Ling Xu, hurry up, let's go to the adult exam together later!"

Ling Xu stretched his waist, got up from the bed, and when everything was ready, he and Su Lin'er walked towards the location of the adult exam.

The tall and majestic palace stands solemnly on the highest point of the frost plain, the ice shadow peak, and the outside of the hall has been covered by perennial ice and snow, just like the thick fur of the white bear, faithfully guarding the noble palace.

The three big characters of the 'Gathering God Temple' are impressively engraved on the top of the palace gate, adding a bit of majesty to this noble palace.

The interior of the palace is completely different from the snow-covered walls on the outside, and the colorful lights illuminate everything in the palace, as if only the festival can see the beautiful scenery in this high-sounding palace. The ice-crystal-colored walls are lined with neatly arranged murals against the backdrop, dazzling and unfinished.

At this time, many people gathered in the palace, they were all young people from the Frost Clan who had come to participate in the adult examination of the Winter Warrior, and the noise of each other echoed in the main hall for a long time.

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

In the center of the hall was a table and chair made of precious mahogany, on which a young man sat solemnly and exclaimed in a commanding tone to the noisy crowd in the audience.

"Today is the annual Winter Warrior exam for your clan, and it is also a sign that you are on your way to becoming an adult in your own right, so please take it seriously. ”

Under this man's commanding tone, the hall that seemed to be as lively as a bazaar suddenly became silent, which showed that this man's prestige in the eyes of everyone was very important.

The man's handsome face revealed a domineering posture, and a long scar on the right side of his face left by the battle, which seemed to depict his life through the vicissitudes of life.

The man's godless eyes looked at the faces under the audience who were full of longing and confusion about the exam, and said casually: "It's another batch of troublesome little ghosts, it seems that some of them are busy today." ”

"Oh, Xu Hao, one of the strongest men in the Frost Clan, will also be in trouble?"

The woman who said this was a slender figure, a woman with a beautiful face, the woman was wearing a purple slim dress, her graceful figure looked charming and moving under the dress dress, a pair of big eyes on her pretty face were affectionate like water, and a touch of delicate and elegant red makeup on the eye shadow, showing a charming and enchanting beauty.

Her slender and white hand naturally rested on the shoulder of the man who called himself Xu Hao, which actually caused an uproar among the young people in the audience.

Xu Hao smiled blankly and bitterly: "In previous years, the examiner left the tribe for something, and the patriarch had no choice but to send me, an idler, to preside over this year's adult conference." ”

Just as Xu Hao was talking with the woman, there was another sighing noise from the audience:

"This woman has come to seduce Elder Xu again, and now Elder Xu will have to bear it. ”

"Elder Xu obviously doesn't like him, don't you see, Elder Xu doesn't even look at her. ”

"She's a tigress, so it's no wonder that Elder Xu doesn't look down on her. ”

The woman vaguely seemed to hear everyone in the audience talking bad about herself, so she stood up straight and stepped on the steps with her feet, and the water glasses on the table shook with it, and everyone was so shocked by this kick that they closed their lips and stopped talking.

"You stupid boys, dare to say bad things in front of the old lady, are you impatient? The old lady is also the deputy examiner of this year, and she has me off, so that you can't eat and walk around!" the woman said excitedly.

"Alright, alright, why bother with a bunch of kids. Xu Hao comforted the woman.

Xu Hao took out a manual and a bunch of license plates, paused, and said to everyone in the audience: "Next, I will report your name, you come up and get the number plate, the number plate is divided into five kinds of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, after the inventory, take the number plate you got and stand with the corresponding person, and then you will enter the first ring of the exam in a group of five teams." ”

"Wang Tianhua. ”

"Here!"

"Li Shu. ”

"Here!"

......

"Ling Xu. ”

......

Xu Hao didn't hear a reply when he read Ling Xu's name, so he shouted again.

"Ling Xu!"

There was still no response, and then a sentence came out from the audience: "With his ability, he still wants to become a Winter Warrior?

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.

"Don't mess around!" Xu Hao seriously controlled the noisy atmosphere in the hall, and was about to take a pen to erase Ling Xu's name, when the woman next to her reached out and touched Xu Hao's hand holding the pen, shaking her head and signaling Xu Hao to wait for a moment.

"Look. The woman suddenly pointed to the door of the main hall, and Xu Hao looked up.

Ling Xu and Su Lin'er rushed to the entrance of the Gathering God Temple, looking at the many people standing in the hall in an orderly manner, Ling Xu rubbed his eyes and said, "It seems that I overslept last night, and I will definitely be reprimanded by the examiner this time." ”

Su Lin'er tilted her head and smiled: "Brother Ling Xu, isn't there Lin'er with you?" ”

"Ling Xu!" Xu Hao saw the two people standing stupidly at the gate, and shouted Ling Xu's name again.

"Hey...... Here!" Ling Xu agreed without thinking.

"Come and get your number plate. The woman beside Xu Hao said to Ling Xu.

"Master?" Su Lin'er muttered to herself when she saw the woman standing on the stage.

Ling Xu took the stage and picked up a number plate with the back facing up at random, spread it out and saw that there was a word 'fire' written on it, and then took the number plate and walked towards the crowd of people who were also fire cards.

"Su Lin'er. ”

"Here!" Su Lin'er replied softly, causing the eyes of all the young people to focus on her, like a blooming rose, dazzling.

Su Lin'er jumped onto the stage and called the woman beside Xu Hao Master.

The woman confidently said to Su Lin'er: "Lin'er, with your current strength, you are already an excellent winter warrior, but there will inevitably be accidents in the assessment of winter warriors, so you have to act cautiously and carefully, don't be careless." ”

"Yes!" Lin'er remembered. After speaking, Su Lin'er randomly picked up a number plate on the table, opened it and saw that there was a word 'water' written on it.

Su Lin'er came to Ling Xu with dissatisfaction, and said with a slight brow: "Brother Ling Xu, Lin'er can't help you take the exam with you." ”

Ling Xu picked up Su Lin'er's long hair that reached up to her waist and stayed in her hand for a while, then slid down, and said, "Lin'er don't worry about me, I practiced hard last night, even if I don't have Lin'er's help, this exam is also within reach for me! ”

"Well, Brother Ling Xu, come on!"
