Chapter Twenty-Five: The Lotus Pond

The bells rang around, and all the candidates were alert. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

There were more than eighty candidates who had not left at the moment, and the invigilator handed each of them a round button.

Low-level rune technology, SOS!

The distress button and the rescue button are a set, every time the distress button is pressed, the invigilator with the rescue button will automatically know the candidate's location and come forward to rescue, but that also means that the candidate has lost the assessment qualification, and the martial arts assessment is automatically listed as failing.

Therefore, unless there is a danger of life and death, no one will generally use the distress button.

This is the reason why more than a dozen people die every year in the Shiling Gate and Sutang assessments, some of these people are too arrogant, some are reluctant to disqualify, and.... I didn't have time to press the SOS button.

Seven out of ten people didn't have time to press the button for help.

"Finally, if you are scared now, you can quit. It was the firewood stick invigilator again: "Once the Wuguan assessment begins, life and death are determined by the mandate of heaven, and they are not responsible!"

The candidates were scurrying around, but none of the people present flinched!

Now that you're here, you can't hold back!

"Very good, it seems that the timid people have long left, since this is the case, then our martial arts assessment is about to begin. With a wave of his hand, seven or eight middle-aged men came from the hut, all of whom were the stewards and invigilators of the Shiling Gate, that is, the staff who protected the candidates.

The middle-aged man summoned the candidates out of the door and divided them into eight groups in order.

Ning Xiuyuan was assigned to the second group, his steward invigilator looked treacherous, a bit of an old fritter, a cowardly rat, he was the one who protected Ning Xiuyuan.

"If you encounter danger on the way to the assessment, if you are afraid, you can press the distress button, and I will save you in time!" The old fritter steward invigilator seemed to be dealing with an errand, with an impatient face: "Of course, it's one thing if I can't save you, so ah, you have to look at destiny!"

"Pretending to be a ghost, I don't think he wants to save us!" Xu Jiuri snorted disdainfully, Ning Xiuyuan nodded, agreeing with his opinion.

Xu Jiuri put his arm on Ning Xiuyuan's shoulder: "So we have to be careful everywhere, don't rely too much on this distress button, otherwise we will kill ourselves." ”

"It's nature. Ning Xiuyuan answered, and was about to say something else, but was interrupted by a few bird calls.

Eight giant floating birds flew from the sky, lined up, quite a military smell.

"Floating birds, wind-smelling beasts. Xu Jiuri became a tour guide: "This bird can only be used as a means of transportation, and has no other role." ”

As the candidates boarded the floating birds one by one, Ning Xiuyuan also jumped up, there were ten people in their group, Xu Jiuri and himself were divided into a group, and the girl at the same table was divided into the eighth group.

"The place we are going to is called Qiuli Mountain, and that is the territory of our Shiling Gate!" the old fritter showed off: "It is also a special assessment location for our Shiling Gate, and this year the examiners have reformed the content a lot, so the danger has increased a lot." ”

"What you need to do is to escape from Qiuli Mountain, reach the exit of Qiuli Mountain, if you don't arrive after three days, even if you fail, press the distress button, even if you fail, die, even if you fail!"

People nodded one after another, lying on the huge floating bird, Ning Xiu was far puzzled, but he still lay down with the crowd, and asked Xu Jiuri beside him, "What is this for?"

"You have to faint sooner or later, and it's better to lie down as soon as possible than to fall off when you faint for a while. Xu Jiuri said, a puff of smoke came, and he fell asleep.

Ning Xiuyuan was the same, he was infected by this incense and passed out.

============================

By the time I woke up again, it was already dark, and the old fritter proctor was long gone.

"Really, I obviously drank the antidote in advance, how could I still be infected by this incense?" Xu Jiuri said to himself: "Could it be that this examiner has changed another kind of incense?"

Ning Xiuyuan stood up and looked at the surrounding environment, it seemed that he was already in the middle of the mountain at this moment.

"Follow the map, it doesn't seem so difficult to escape from Qiuli Mountain. Each of them was given a map, and a teenager smiled at the map and rushed forward.

Several other people also nodded and began to charge, after all, there were only three days to go!

Ning Xiuyuan looked at his map and nodded, "Let's go." ”

"Let's go. Xu Jiuri also packed everything up.

The sky was pitch black, and neither moon appeared tonight, and it was still sunny during the day, but at the moment it was bitterly cold and shivering.

Slowly, all eight groups of people gathered, a total of eighty-three people, all gathered together.

According to the map, the first place to arrive is the lotus pond,

Because of the background of the night, the lotus pond at this moment is even quieter, and there are some fireflies faintly flying, if it weren't for Ning Xiuyuan knowing that this is an assessment, he would definitely be impressed by this artistic conception and indulge in it.

A whole large area is a lake, and the surrounding sides are full of thorns, bloodthirsty thorns!

The only way to get through here is to cross the river.

"Simple. A young man smiled proudly, jumped up towards one of the lotus, the lotus quickly sank, the boy stepped hard, stepped on the lotus, the lotus disappeared immediately, the boy jumped on the other lotus, back and forth, and finally jumped over the lotus pond, to the other side of the land.

"Haha, I didn't expect this year's martial arts assessment to be so simple, this time I can be admitted to the Shiling Gate!" the young man smiled happily and rushed towards the next station.

"Xu Jiuri, go quickly, the faster the better!" Everyone was already moving, Ning Xiuyuan felt bad, and jumped directly on one of the lotus flowers.

"Triple Speed・On!"

"Ding Dong, triple speed has been turned on!"

Ning Xiuyuan's strength has reached half a step, and he is faster at three times the speed than at the beginning of watching the rain!

Quickly stepping on a few lotus flowers, Ning Xiuyuan arrived at the shore, and Xu Jiuri was the same, panting when he ran over: "Huhu, fortunately my speed is okay, otherwise it will be over." ”

Not only Ning Xiuyuan and Xu Jiuri, but the speed of the others was also very fast, and they were all speeding up desperately.

There is only one reason, there are eighty-three people, and lotus flowers are limited!

Everyone crossing the river has to step on a few lotus flowers, and the lotus flowers are getting fewer and fewer, and the more people behind them want to cross the river, the more difficult it is.

I know that in the end, all the lotus flowers will disappear, and the remaining people can only be trapped and unable to cross the river!

This first level of lotus pond is not about ability, but about speed!

Those who are not fast enough can't grab the lotus, so naturally they can't pass the level.

"At this level, more than 30 people were directly eliminated. Ning Xiuyuan's head was sweating, and at the same time, the people who were advancing found a special item.

The corpse of a teenager.

The first .......... to pass through the lotus pond The corpse of the teenager.
