At dusk, on a pile of light smoke of ashes, Ye Qingcheng and a group of animal taming apprentices carefully searched for pieces of burned bone residue in the ashes and put them in the urn.

When it was over, Ram Shen handed Li Ping's urn to Ye Qingcheng and said, "You hand it over to the elder, Li Ping is also half of the elder's apprentice, go and talk to the elder." ”

In the south of the hunting island, on the edge of the snow maple forest, on the three-storey wooden building, Fushan sat alone on the roof of the building, with empty wine jars beside him, drunkenly looking at the peaceful and vast sea.

Ye Qingcheng quietly climbed upstairs and put Li Ping's urn beside Fu Shan. He saw Fushan with a sad face, was silent for a while, and then turned to leave.

However, just as he turned around, Fushan said drunkenly: "Qingcheng." ”

"The apprentice is here. Ye Qingcheng arched his hand and said.

"Sit with me. ”

"Good. Ye Qingcheng sat beside Fushan.

"Do you know who I admire the most among these apprentices?" Fu Shan handed over a wine jar with half of the wine left to Ye Qingcheng.

Ye Qingcheng hugged the wine jar and shook his head.

"You. Fu Shan looked into the distance with a confused gaze and said, "You are a piece of jade, sooner or later you will break the earth." ”

"Thank you, Elders, for your compliment. Ye Qingcheng said humbly.

"Do you know who my favorite among the apprentices here is?" Fushiyama asked again.

Ye Qingcheng hesitated for a moment and shook his head again.

Fu Shan hugged Li Ping's urn, patted it gently, and said, "This kid has grown up since I was a child." He had no father or mother, and was raised by his grandfather from birth. His grandfather opened a small wine shed around the Imperial Beast Hall in our town, and I often went to drink. Li Ping, like all civilian children, is honest, sensible, and simple, although he rarely speaks, he is kind-hearted. He has average qualifications, and has been rejected by our Imperial Beast Hall many times, but he has never been discouraged. However, I have a bit of a friendship with his grandfather, and I helped him enter the beast worship war the first few times. This time, he was admitted with his real skills. ”

Ye Qingcheng listened quietly.

"I promised him before that as long as he could pass the first five assessments, I would accept him as a disciple. Fushiyama continued: "He doesn't have the talent of you, and he is not smart enough. However, his dreams are as precious as those of you geniuses, and he has put in more effort and hardship than you. As a result, it was buried. I really don't know, how to explain to his grandfather when I go back?"

Ye Qingcheng was suddenly sad, everyone has a story, and every story is vivid. It's just that some stories die when they are not exciting.

"The most terrifying thing in heaven and earth has never been the earth demon or the heavenly demon-level beast, but the human heart. Fushan sighed and said sadly: "There is the dirtiest and darkest thing hidden in people's hearts, and once there is a chance to expose it, it will be more terrible than anything else. ”

After being silent for a while, Ye Qingcheng said, "In this way, in Brother Li's heart, he has always regarded the elder as a master?"

"I guess so. Fukuyama nodded.

"Elder is going to let Yu Shui go like this?" Ye Qingcheng said: "Last time, I almost lost my life at his hands, if we remain silent any longer, our group-"

"It's not him. Fushan shook his head and said, "He's not so boring. It wasn't our group that did it. ”

"Elder knows who it is?" Ye Qingcheng said.

"This time, there are only four apprentices from Zhenbeiguo, Yu Huo, Yu Shui, you, and Hong Feiying. The only ones who have the best chance of getting the Snake Heart Gu from the Bone Buried Prairie are the four of you. Fu Shan said: "You, Hong Feiying, and Yu Shui are all geniuses, and they will not be boring enough to frame an apprentice who cannot threaten you." ”

"Yu Huo?!" Ye Qingcheng's mind suddenly appeared that the young prince who looked similar to Yu Feng, and the complicated eyes that looked at each other in both directions, but tried his best to hide his inferiority complex.

"Yu Huo's talent is far inferior to that of his younger brother Yu Shui, and it can't be compared to Elder Yu Feng. In front of others, he always has a proud expression, but his status in the Yu royal family is not high, and he is often in the embarrassing situation of being ignored. Fu Shan said: "It is rumored that he is a martial arts cultivator, in fact, he is only a third-rate great martial artist, and his strength is even at the middle and lower level among these apprentices, according to my estimate, he may not even be able to beat Li Ping." However, the little threat that Li Ping posed to him was not the real reason. ”

"What's the real reason?"

As Yu Shui said. Fushiyama said, "Have some fun." As a royal child, he has been overshadowed by his brother's light, and his state of mind has begun to distort. For him, disregarding human life is a way to have fun. ”

"Now that the elder has guessed the culprit. Ye Qingcheng asked, "What should we do?"

Fu Shan turned his face, looked at Ye Qingcheng, and said, "What else can I do?"

Ye Qingcheng was stunned.

"I'm just an animal trainer. Fushan hugged the jar and drank non-stop. Finally, he threw away the empty jar and said sadly: "There are many things in the world, and I can't find the answer, let alone how to solve them." ”

............

As time passed, some apprentices gradually caught the allied beast they had been pursuing, and then they would return to Zhenhai City with the assessment letterhead of the allied beast and their respective elders.

In the Xin group, the first to capture the assessment alliance beast was the little fat man Bao Jun, followed by Yu Shui. Yu Shui subdued the third-order snow maple wolf, causing the whole island to be shocked. However, it is rumored that he used Chongbao to trade with Zen Ziqing privately, and asked Zen Ziqing to help him, so he caught the snow maple wolf. Although, everyone is very unhappy in their hearts, but Yu Shui's identity is prominent, Zen Ziqing can't be provoked, and Yu Feng is an elder, no one can do anything about this kind of cheating.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days have passed.

After Li Ping's death, all the apprentices in the Suoxin group were working hard for their own assessments. Eight of them have successfully passed the assessment and chose to return to Zhenhai City. The rest of the apprentices, including Ye Qingcheng, couldn't help but panic. After all, in this assessment, only ten apprentices will be retained in each group, and then they will enter the Hundred Stone Kingdom to participate in the fourth assessment.

There were still three days before this assessment was over, and Huo Jing took a scaly, calf-sized sea rabbit, found Ye Qingcheng, drank with him, and left.

sent Huo Jing away, and the ten groups on the hunting island combined, there were no more than thirty apprentices left. Among these people, except for Ye Qingcheng, who has two gold medals, everyone else is facing the fate of possible elimination.

However, even Ye Qingcheng, who was regarded as the biggest dark horse, couldn't help but wonder: where could a pseudo-Tianlan beast with only first-order strength be hidden, why couldn't he find it all the time?
