Chapter 43: Martial Sect's Advantage
Ye Qingcheng stood at the front of the line, and behind him was Yu Shui. He understood what Fushan meant: they had to come back at dusk, or they would die as soon as the tide rose and the sea was full of such fish monsters.
"Animal trainers, though respected, are also the most dangerous of trades. Fushan said: "When you think of the beast taming coat of arms, you have to gamble with your life. If you don't have confidence, just leave quickly. For those who have failed, there will not even be a corpse left. ”
"Is there a gold medal in this assessment?" Ye Qingcheng will definitely not give up.
"Are you addicted to the gold medal?" Fu Shan said with a smile: "This assessment may not be there, but it depends on your performance." Our ten elders will synthesize the results, and if there is anything that satisfies us, we will give us a gold medal. ”
"Let's find a way to save your life first. Yu Shui, who was standing behind Ye Qingcheng, said coldly.
Ye Qingcheng ignored Yu Shui's words, he looked at the row of old wooden stakes erected on the sea that stretched thirty miles away, waiting for the assessment to begin.
Suddenly, a snow-white giant bird swept over the sky, two strong men stood on the back of the bird and carried a huge gong, and there was an old man standing on it, he struck the gong with a gong hammer, and the loud gong instantly resounded through the sky.
"Untie your sword. Fu Shan said to Ye Qingcheng: "In this assessment, it is not allowed to fight privately. ”
Ye Qingcheng only untied the big sword behind his back and handed it to Fu Shan.
"Are you going to take that kitten with you?" Fu Shan looked at Lihuo, who was sitting on Ye Qingcheng's shoulder.
Ye Qingcheng hesitated, in front of everyone, he felt that there should be no danger, so he said to Lihuo: "Xiaohuo, you stay by Elder Fu's side first." ”
He jumped off Ye Qingcheng's shoulder immediately from the fire, walked to the corpse of the big-headed fish monster on the ground, and sniffed curiously.
Fu Shan handed a bundle of ropes and a bronze key to Ye Qingcheng and said, "Go ahead." There are a total of nineteen chests on the cliff, and the higher the chest, the harder it is to get them. Therefore, the first to arrive at the island cliff will have the easiest way to obtain the treasure chest. ”
"Hmm. Ye Qingcheng took the rope and tied it around his waist, and then, he jumped up from a reef, flew five steps in mid-air, and landed on the first old wooden stake.
Seeing Ye Qingcheng's vigorous figure, flying over the wooden stakes on the sea, and waiting for ten breaths, Fu Shan turned his face to the second apprentice, Yu Shui, and said, "Hand over your weapons." ”
............
On the clear blue sky, white clouds float, the breeze is warm, and the bright sun shines on the vast sea of rocks. Among the leisurely waves, ten islands side by side, each five miles apart, stand horizontally in the sea.
Rows of old wooden piles as thick as stone grinders stand in the sea, leading to the cliffs of the islands.
The first batch of apprentices is on the road to the challenge, and then every ten breaths, a second batch of apprentices follow, and so on.
Ye Qingcheng was wearing a black and white patterned battle robe, with a beast taming rope tied around his waist, and he jumped agilely on the wooden stakes. Each stake is seven steps apart. This kind of jumping galloping is far more tiring than normal running. However, a strong physique is the most basic thing for every animal trainer, and they must have it.
With his momentum, Ye Qingcheng jumped ten miles in one breath and entered the deep-water sea. Behind him, Yu Shui always kept a distance of ten stakes from him, and he had not yet expressed the intention of surpassing him.
However, Ye Qingcheng knew that once he was out of Fushan's sight, Yu Shui would definitely not be at peace again.
Time flies and the morning sun gradually rises in the sky. Pleasant gulls and birds soar low on the sea, leaving a distant cry.
"At this rate, you can be back before sunset. Ye Qingcheng secretly thought to himself. He would arrive at the island at noon, and by that time he would be almost exhausted. However, he took some time to find the treasure chest on the island, rested for two more hours, recovered his body, and was able to return.
While he was thinking, a splash suddenly jumped on the surface of the sea not far away, and a big-headed fish monster the size of a calf, the Broken Gold Beast, jumped up suddenly, and directly swallowed a white gull the size of a cattail fan.
With a "bang", the Broken Gold Beast fell back into the sea. Ye Qingcheng was slightly surprised in his heart, this kind of thing could not pose a threat to him at one or two ends, but if there were really hundreds or thousands of them, once they fell into their encirclement, even if they were under the Martial King, no one would be spared.
"Slowly, are you here to play?" Sure enough, Yu Shui, who had been following Ye Qingcheng, tried to overtake him.
Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng ignored him, but quickened his pace, wanting to shake him off.
However, Yu Shui is a martial arts cultivator, and his strength far surpasses that of Ye Qingcheng. He decisively untied the beast taming rope on his body, used it as a whip, jumped up, and whipped towards Ye Qingcheng's figure fiercely.
"Smack!!" a loud whip roared on the surface of the sea.
Ye Qingcheng stopped suddenly, spun his body, and stretched out his hand to grasp the front end of the rope steadily.
In the slightly cold seawater, Ye Qingcheng and Yushui were separated by two wooden stakes, facing each other.
Yu Shui's gloomy face was filled with a murderous aura, he turned his head to look back, and then turned his face, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. In the end, he concentrated all his strength on his arm, and with a sharp swing of his arm, the tough rope instantly shook a snake-like trace in the air, and a strong force directly passed through the guò rope and transmitted to Ye Qingcheng's arm.
This strong force caught Ye Qingcheng off guard, and his body was thrown away from the thick wooden stake.
"Whoa!"
Ye Qingcheng's body flew out and fell into the sea.
By the time he leapt from the sea and stood on the stake, Yu Shui's figure had leapt forward quickly.
Ye Qingcheng, who was wet, had an anger in his eyes, and stretched out his left hand to suppress his right fist. However, he hesitated and did not use the power of the Ascending Dragon Vein.
In their Xin group, there were a total of nineteen apprentices, and nine of them had martial arts cultivation. Yu Shui was the best of these nine martial sects, even if he used the power of the third stage of the ascending dragon vein, he might not be able to deal with Yu Shui. What's more, if he uses this kind of strength, his body will be violently consumed until he is overdrawn, and then he will not be able to complete this assessment at all.
Looking at Yu Shui's rapid back, Ye Qingcheng held back the anger in his heart, and he secretly said in his heart: "In this assessment, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to get the gold medal." ”
In terms of physique alone, he is not a leader, and he is only average in the group. If he fights with the other apprentices, it is very likely that the result will be worse.
With that in mind, he shook off the drops of water from his hair and sped forward again.
However, within a mile of the road, another voice came from behind him: "Little brother, can you borrow a way?"
Ye Qingcheng turned his face and saw that he was the oldest apprentice in their Xin group, the old man with a big black mole on his nose.
"Senior, you are so old, how can you still run so well?" Ye Qingcheng smiled breathlessly.
"No matter how you say it, the old man is also a martial artist. "This old man's name is Ram Shen, and he is an apprentice animal tamer in Zhennan Kingdom. His cultivation is the only one in the Xin group that is comparable to Yu Shui.
"I won't borrow it. Ye Qingcheng said: "If you want to surpass me, speak with strength." ”
"It's simple. Ram Shen said.
Ye Qingcheng stopped talking, turned around and jumped forward.
However, there was a sudden sound behind him, three "bang, bang, bang" sounds.
I saw that the gray-haired Ram Shen jumped up in the air vigorously, and his footsteps stepped out of the air three circles of whirling air, flying directly for more than ten zhang, and landed on the third wooden stake in front of Ye Qingcheng.
"Wind Resistant?!" Ye Qingcheng exclaimed, this kind of martial art, which can make people fly a short distance for a short time, is a rare footwork in the Martial Sect. He sighed and smiled: "The footwork of the predecessors is really eye-opening, when you catch up with that Yu Shui, remember to teach him a lesson for me." ”
"Haha, that's easy to say. Ram Shen laughed and galloped away.
