============================
Along the way, they met several waves of candidates who walked back in groups of threes and threes, and when they asked, they learned that they had also encountered demon wolves, and they were all ready to take a long detour out of the mountain, and some of them planned to give up the exam.
At the top of the third mountain, there were already many candidates gathered, some of them in small groups to discuss how to get down, and some of them sat alone and watched.
Zeqi looked down the hill and didn't see the shadow of the demon wolf, so he joined a small group of discussion candidates to get more information about the demon wolf.
"Otherwise, let's rush down together, the demon wolf can't deal with so many people at once, there is always someone who can get by. Whoever can pass is whose luck is his. Candidate A said.
"Aren't those who can't get past being bitten to death by the devil wolf? Candidate B said.
"The demon wolf doesn't seem to be going to eat us, so why don't you keep chasing us to the top of the mountain?" said candidate A.
"Who can guarantee that? Who wants to risk their lives?"
When Candidate B asked this, the other candidates were stunned.
Zeqi interjected: "Have any of you ever met a demon wolf in person?"
"Him. ”
"Him. ”
The crowd pointed to a boy who was squatting.
The boy's face was pale, and his hands were still trembling slightly, as if he had been frightened just now.
Zeqi walked over and handed the boy a bamboo tube with water around his waist. The boy was stunned for a moment, then took the bamboo tube and drank it.
Zeqi asked, "Can you help us describe what you saw when you saw the demon wolf, and in what place, and what does the demon wolf look like?"
After drinking the water, the boy wiped his mouth, calmed down a little, and said, "In ...... About halfway up the mountain, a demon wolf suddenly jumped in front of me and yelled at me. The boy's body trembled a little, as if the demon wolf had come to him again, and after a while, he said, "That demon wolf is terrible. I sat down on the ground in fright, then got up and ran back. ”
"How far away was the demon wolf from you then?" Zeqi asked.
"Ten meters, maybe fifteen meters, I can't remember. ”
"Didn't it chase after it?"
The boy thought for a moment, "It chased it for a short distance, and then it didn't chase anymore." ”
"How big is the demon wolf?"
The boy looked at the top of Zeqi's head, "I just remember that when he was standing, he was a little taller than me." ”
Barton on the side said: "With such a big demon wolf, it must be easy to catch up with you. Apparently it doesn't want to hurt you. ”
"It's really scary, you don't know that when its mouth opens, it's bigger than my head. If I go any further, I will definitely be bitten to death by him. The boy shuddered again as he spoke.
"Is it just a demon wolf?" Zeqi continued.
"I only saw one. ”
"I'll answer that. Candidate A, who spoke first, added, "I arrived at the top of this mountain in the early hours of the morning, and there were not many candidates here at that time. From early morning to now, a total of four waves of people have tried to descend the mountain from different places, and all four waves of people have been driven back by the demon wolf. Their descent route is about 100 meters, 150 meters, and 250 meters apart, so I estimate that there will be at least one demon wolf guarding every 100 meters, and possibly two. As far as I can guess, the demon wolf doesn't intend to hurt us, but it doesn't let us go down either. It's just that what should we do to get down the mountain? ”
"How can you be sure that the four waves of people are desperately fleeing back after encountering the demon wolf, no matter how sure you are that a group of people will break down the mountain, the demon wolf will not eat us. Candidate B continues to refute Candidate A.
"I'm just sure that as long as we rush down together, there will always be some people who can get through. The others who didn't pass were at most stopped by the demon wolf, and their lives would not be in danger. ”
"Even if you are just stopped, bitten by it or slapped by a wolf's paw, you are crippled if you don't die. So I still insisted on taking a long detour out of the mountains. Exam B said.
"There may not be no demon wolf on a long detour, this is carefully arranged by the teachers, and it is impossible for us to pass easily. ”
"I'm going to go around to another mountain, I don't believe there are so many demon wolves in the academy. Candidate B insisted.
Candidate A asked, "Then can you be sure that there are no other magical beasts or demon plants?!"
"This ......"
At this time, the candidate who had seen the demon wolf just now suddenly shouted: "No, I want to go back, I look back at the small bamboo house of Fengtai, I give up the exam." With that, he got up and ran towards the lookout.
After everyone watched him leave, Barton suddenly spoke: "Instead of speculating here, it is better to go down and fight the demon wolf and test it." With that, Barton strode straight down the mountain.
Everyone looked at him, thinking that this person was either really powerful, or stupid and bold, and I was afraid that the latter would be more.
Zeqi, Zareeth, and Seline froze, of course they thought the same as the others, but this Barton had helped him after all, so the three of them chased after Barton.
"Patton, wait a minute. Zeqi followed Barton and said, "The four of us should work together and then come up with a strategy." ”
"No, I'll do it alone. Barton said, walking on his feet.
"Are you alone?, do you not regard us as friends, or do you look down on us at all?!" Zeqi said angrily.
"Oh no, it's not. Barton stopped, he was straight, and he didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
"Barton, how sure are you. Zeqi lowered his voice.
Barton thought for a moment and said, "If it's not going to kill me, it's okay to protect yourself and get out." So you don't have to worry about me. ”
Zeqi shook his head and said seriously, "You have to tell us why you're so sure, otherwise as friends, we won't let you go alone." ”
"Friends?" Barton had never made any friends since he was a child, and now the boy he had just met in front of him said again and again that he was friends, and his heart suddenly warmed.
"Okay. I'm going to show you this. Barton suddenly took off his clothes. The three of them saw that there were many scars on his front and back, both old and new. The scars were very similar to those on his face.
The three of them were all shocked, and Selene almost screamed out in fright.
"It must hurt, doesn't it? Who got it for you?" said Zeqi indignantly.
Barton got dressed, "Didn't scare you, did it?" My main job at the manor was to feed the manor's mounts, bathe them, clean up the wolf's den, and so on. If he was careless, and his mount was starving, or the bath was not cleaned, he would throw me to the wolf to play with. ”
"Huh?!"
The three of them were surprised, but Barton was very calm, and continued: "The demon wolf does not eat me, but only runs after me, and if I can't run, or is caught up by it, it scratches me with its claws, so that I can continue to run and be chased by it." No matter how tired and painful I am, it won't let me go until it's tired of playing. ”
"It makes no sense. Zeqi gritted his teeth, "Your manor chief is really too much. Although we are slaves, we are also protected by the slave code. The Slave Code prohibits slave owners from abusing and killing slaves at will. ”
"You should sue him in the Manor Court!" Cylene shouted.
"Yes, you should sue him. Zareth said fiercely, unconsciously clenching his fists.
Barton shook his head and said helplessly, "There was a time when I had this idea, but to sue the head of the manor, I had to go to the higher court of the Nord City Manor, and I worked every day, so I didn't have time to go out at all. And I've heard others say that the manor court was nominally for the protection of slaves, but in fact it was more for the protection of the lord of the manor, and I thought about it later. ”
"Alas!"
"It's so damnable!"
"So are you like that?"
"It's okay, as long as I can pass the exam. Barton smiled and comforted everyone, then gritted his teeth with a determined expression, "As long as I can pass the exam, I can get out of there, so I must pass the exam." ”
"Hmm. Let's do it together!"
"Come on!"
The four of them clasped hands, "Come on!"
