Chapter 36: Strange (II)
At the same time, many of the apprentices who had cultivated to the realm of only martial artists were so frightened that they left in a hurry. The strength of the Great Martial Master is equivalent to that of a first-order alliance beast. At the moment, only those who have cultivated at or above the great martial artist level can be qualified to participate in the assessment, and as for those martial artists who are lucky, they are almost untenable.
Ye Qingcheng has been standing at the back of the team since early in the morning, until noon, and there are only about a dozen people in front of him, and a few of them have escaped. He sighed and said to himself, "In this way, when it is my turn, it may be days, and I am not going to stand here all the time?"
"Brother Ye is only worried about this?" asked Bao Jun, the fat boy behind Ye Qingcheng.
"Otherwise?" Ye Qingcheng asked. To be honest, he is not too worried about the assessment. He knew that he possessed a dragon might, and even if this power could not deter the stinging scale snake, he could also teach him the beast taming technique through the Guò Gumu clan, as well as his three-stage ascending dragon vein power, to tame a stinging scale snake.
However, what he wants is not just to pass guò, but to get first place and get a gold medal!
"What kind of cultivation is Brother Ye?" asked Bao Jun.
"Martial artist. Ye Qingcheng said. Without using the power of the ascending dragon vein, he is indeed a young martial artist.
"Cultivation is so low?" Bao Jun was even more surprised, and said, "Why are you so calm?"
On the ground, there was a commotion in the front row of the Xin group, and a sturdy young man wearing a sleeveless robe of animal skin, holding a handful of chewed green sticky leaves, covered his arm, and stood in the crowd with a regretful expression.
He is a loser, and those who succeed in passing the guò assessment are generally sent to the corresponding rooms, and are not allowed to communicate with other apprentices.
The sturdy young man said with a look of regret: "The stinging snake has been completely provoked, and after I entered the cage, it came up and bit it, and did not give it any chance to speak. ”
"Isn't there any snake incense in there?" asked an apprentice who hadn't yet taken the test.
"Damn, I'll be angry when I mention it! The snake sunflower grass used to make the incense of the snake is fake!" The sturdy young man said angrily: "Those old things just want us to fight with the stinging scale snake. Fortunately, I dodged quickly and was only bitten by it, not stabbed. ”
The stingy snake has no poison in its mouth, and its teeth will only bite people, not poison people.
"A snake sunflower has more than 100 seeds. "At this time, an old man with a black mole on his nose. He was also an apprentice of animal taming, but he was much older than the others, so he leaned over and said, "Those more than 100 seeds, are they all fake?"
"There's no way they're perverted enough to put a real one in those fake snake seeds, right?" said the sturdy young man's eyes widened.
"What's impossible?" said the old beast tamer, "To refine snake incense, all you need is a snake sunflower seed." ”
At this time, Ye Qingcheng stared at the broken grass blade that the young man was putting on his arm, and leaned closer and asked, "Brother Tai, this snake wound leaf is also in those materials?"
The sturdy young man glanced at Ye Qingcheng and said, "Not bad." At this point, those old things are quite thoughtful. ”
Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng's heart trembled violently. A sense of extreme joy instantly permeated his heart.
Suddenly, an angry rebuke was heard, and a guard with a halberd came over and blasted the loser away.
Then, at noon, when it was time for the ten elders to rest, they talked and laughed with each other and left. However, all the unassessed apprentices were not allowed to go, but there was a row of attendants, carrying a jar of clear water and cooked lamb legs, and came over and handed them out to each of the waiters.
Ye Qingcheng took the leg of mutton and Qing Shui, showed an embarrassed expression, and said to a waiter: "Internal urgency." ”
The waiter glanced at Ye Qingcheng and said gently, "Please come with me." ”
Ye Qingcheng followed behind the waiter, walked through the queue of each group, walked towards an urgent room in the distance, and anxiously searched for Huo Jing's figure in the crowd.
Huo Jing is in Group C, ranked 30th. It is estimated that it will be his turn in the afternoon. By this time, he was pale and restless. Of the more than 100 people who were assessed in the morning, only 20 were passed, the rest failed, and nearly 30 people were poisoned too deeply to be saved, and they died directly. In addition to being rich, Huo Jing is not outstanding in all aspects, and the probability of being able to successfully pass this assessment is not great.
Suddenly, Huo Jing saw Ye Qingcheng following behind an attendant and walking towards the inner emergency room in the distance. And Ye Qingcheng had already fixed his eyes on him and blinked. Huo Jing had a rather shrewd mind, and he immediately stretched out his hand to report to one of the attendants.
After half a burnt incense, Huo Jing met Ye Qingcheng who had just walked out in front of the internal emergency room on the side of Baishi Square. The attendants who followed them were inconvenient to greet each other.
Ye Qingcheng twisted his shoulders comfortably and smiled at Huo Jing: "This brother, I just squatted in that pit, don't be disgusted." ”
After speaking, Ye Qingcheng left.
After Huo Jing entered the inner emergency room, there was only one thatched pit inside, and when he opened the door of the thatched pit, he found a crumpled ball of paper in an old hole in the wall.
So, he hurriedly closed the door of the pit, and then opened the paper, on which was written a line:
First of all, you can use snake wound grass, combined with fake snake sunflower grass, and add three drops of blood, you can refine snake wound ointment......
In the end, there were a few small words that made Huo Jing ecstatic: If there is no difference, you will win the gold medal!
............
In the afternoon, Ye Qingcheng, like all the beast taming apprentices, sat on the ground after eating and chatted with the people around him.
During this period, news of the death of the apprentice came from time to time, which frightened the people around him. At this time, time was torment for them, except for Ye Qingcheng, almost all the apprentices who only had martial artist cultivation withdrew. Among them, there were even some great martial artist-level apprentices who had no confidence in themselves left.
Suddenly, an apprentice beast tamer with a fan sighed: "I really didn't expect that even the young master of the Huo family died inside." ”
Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng chuckled in his heart, stood up and looked at the Beast Worship Hall, and found that there was only one elder who came out of the C-shaped gate, and there was no Huo Jing.
"How can this be?" Ye Qingcheng said in horror.
"People didn't come out. The apprentice who took the fan said, "It must have been eaten directly by the stinging snake." ”
Ye Qingcheng calmed down a little and tried to calm down, he didn't believe that Huo Jing would die. Even if Huo Jing was on a business trip somewhere, in the face of danger, with his strength, he should have the power to protect himself, even if he was really poisoned, he would not be eaten directly.
Having said that, however, he was still uneasy in his heart.
This fear lasted for three days. He was at the end of the line, and when it was his turn, it was the end of the first assessment. During this time, they could not go anywhere, but when they were sleepy, they slept on the floor, and when they were hungry, they asked their attendants to fetch food and water for them.
The ten elders have been working day and night for this assessment. They would rest for two hours every half day, and spend the rest of the time in front of the beast worship temple.
While Ye Qingcheng was waiting, he was still calculating carefully. In these three days, more than 100 apprentices have withdrawn, more than 500 apprentices have failed, 70 apprentices have died, and nearly 200 apprentices have passed the examination. However, none of the apprentices won a gold medal.
At the same time, he also paid attention to a detail, since Huo Jing entered the gate of that hall, in the past three days, he has not appeared again. This filled his mind with doubts......
Three days later, at a cold dawn.
The sky was dark, and the square in front of the beast worship hall was quite lonely. The first assessment is in its final stages, and there are less than a hundred apprentices left waiting for it.
Huge torches stand on the white stone square, swaying with brilliant flames.
Suddenly, Fu Shan, the elder of the Xin group, yawned, held a portrait of an apprentice beast tamer, and said tiredly, "Shi Chao. Next, Ye Qingcheng is ready. ”
