Volume 1 Chapter 6 The Beginning of Talent

"We can't run like this, we must save some physical strength to deal with the fierce beasts behind, as well as climb over the Silver Dragon Snow Mountain." A panting voice from the crowd said.

"Yes, we just need to rush to the edge of the Blackwood Forest before sunset today, and then spend the night there, otherwise we won't have a moment to rest when we wait for Silver Dragon Mountain." Another voice immediately chimed in.

The man who answered was at Mochi's side, with a bow and a duffel bag in his hand, and dozens of arrows on his back.

His name is Shen Xiao, and when he wrote his name on the paper before, Mo Qi was behind him, and he saw that he wrote the word "Shen Xiao".

"So, how far are we from the edge of the Blackwood Forest?" Mochi asked, turning his face sideways.

"At a normal walking pace, it's absolutely no problem to get to the edge of the Blackwood Forest before sunset." Shen Xiao said categorically. In his words, he had slowed down.

"How do you know so well? Have you walked through? Mochi slowed down and gave him a suspicious look.

He ran and talked, not panting at all.

And Shen Xiao slowed down precisely because he couldn't stop talking. The golden egg beside Mo Qi didn't dare to speak at all, and he was dragged along and gasped.

"Who is going to have nothing to do with this road? I only took the test once last year, and I retreated while plowing the snowy mountains. Shen Xiao's face flushed slightly.

Everyone also slowed down, maintained the same speed, and moved forward together.

"Moreover, we must work together and not alone, only by working together can we complete the assessment." Shen Xiao continued.

He still remembers last year's assessment, dozens of people participated in the assessment, but none of them succeeded, most of them were buried in the Blackwood Forest or Yinlong Mountain, and only a few people retreated when they saw that the situation was not good, and only picked up a life.

At that time, he swore that he would never participate in the assessment of Lingxiaomen again in this life.

But after a year of thinking and doing all aspects of analysis, he came to a conclusion that as long as everyone works together, it is possible to pass the assessment.

So after making a series of sufficient preparations, he joined this year's assessment.

But he had to convince everyone to stick together. So in the first half of the journey, he tried his best to walk in the middle camp, because this camp has the largest number of people.

"Well, yes, I agree with this friend, everyone is united, they all follow me, I promise to take everyone out of the forest smoothly, over the snowy mountains, and pass the assessment." A voice suddenly sounded, and as soon as the words fell, a tall and burly teenager walked out of the crowd and walked in the front.

"My name is Zhou Hongbo, everyone can call me Brother Zhou." The burly boy said without looking back.

"Brother Zhou." There were really two or three people who were very cooperative with him.

Moqi and Golden Egg rolled their eyes in unison.

A smile appeared on Shen Xiao's face, and his confidence doubled, and he felt that his plan was half successful.

At this time, a delicate figure in the crowd attracted Mo Qi's attention, it was a beautiful girl, about the age of cardamom, at this time, it seemed that for the assessment, her hair was coiled, and she didn't care about any etiquette, this hairstyle reflected her slightly round face, which was just right.

Wearing a tight-fitting dress, he has a bumpy figure and a burden in his hand. The whole person looks heroic, forming a beautiful scenery among the dense trees, attracting everyone's attention to slide past her from time to time.

"My name is He Zhongming, dare to ask the girl's name?" A handsome young man next to him swallowed his saliva for a long time, and finally couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"Thyme Ice." The girl looked around coldly and said loudly.

It seems that she also knows that everyone wants to know his name, so this sentence was said by someone in the venue. The cold face and cold tone matched her name very well.

After Baili Bing finished speaking, he took a few steps in front and followed closely behind Zhou Hongbo.

Originally, Mo Qi also planned to go up and talk to him, but seeing that He Zhongming touched his nose, he didn't dare to act rashly anymore.

Suddenly, there was a howl and several screams that tore through the air in front of him, and a thick smell of blood filled the air, making people shiver unconsciously.

Shen Xiao's face changed drastically, and he said, "Everyone be careful, there is an area infested by fierce beasts in front." ”

Zhou Hongbo subconsciously stepped back, and when he saw Baili Bing's disdainful look, he had to bite the bullet and rush to the front.

After a while, a tragic scene came into view, only to see a huge beast in the jungle and a huge body in the clearing.

There was a deep hole in the neck that had been punched by something, and the blood had not yet dried up, and it was still gushing out, and the dirt was dyed bright red, and it was getting wider and wider.

Around the beast, the corpses of several people lay down, some of their necks were bitten off, some were bitten off by the waist, and their intestines and internal organs were torn out.

The intense bloody aura spread wantonly with a terrifying atmosphere, causing everyone's hearts to be violently impacted. Some people have vomited.

Led by somebody, everyone bowed to the corpses on the ground, and then left silently.

At this time, some people quietly accelerated their pace, wanting to catch up with the survivors in front as soon as possible, everyone gathered together, worked hard in one place, and everyone advanced and retreated together, so as to minimize casualties.

But there are also people who have another kind of mind, let them work hard in front of them, and after removing all obstacles, then wouldn't the people behind be able to sit back and enjoy their success?

But the next moment, the truth slapped those who harbored these thoughts in the face.

"Whew!" With a loud roar, a figure suddenly pierced out of the spur, and in a flash, plunged headlong into the bushes and disappeared.

Everyone only saw a huge tail flicking a few times in the air, and from this, they judged that it was a huge tiger.

So, the tiger came out and disappeared, what did he do?

Everyone was surprised to find that Brother Zhou, who was walking in the front, was gone.

The shock that this change brought to everyone was unparalleled.

Everyone gasped, it turned out that danger was everywhere and all the time.

At this moment, Baili Bing was at the forefront, and a trace of fear appeared on her face as cold as ice.

Mo Qi was a little unbearable, and was about to run ahead of him.

At this time, a figure from behind rushed up and walked in front of Baili Bing: "You men are too graceless, Baili girl, don't be afraid, I will slaughter the bear to protect you." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a python-like monster stuck its head out of the bushes next to it, opened its bloody mouth, revealing four teeth like sharp blades, and bit off the head of the bear slaughter in one bite, and then retracted into the bushes.

The neck of the slaughtered bear spewed out a rain of blood like a fountain, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

Is this the price of recklessness? Everyone was shocked, no one dared to stand out, and heroes had to rely on strength to save the United States.

So Baili Bing had to walk in front again, and at some point, she already held a dagger in her hand, and her palms were sweaty.

Suddenly, a black shadow burst out of the oblique thorn, with two sharp horns in front of it, and rushed directly towards Baili Bing, "It's the sword bull!" Baili Bing was so frightened that his face turned pale, and instinctively flashed to the side.

The sword bull is a kind of fierce beast unique to this region, the body shape is like a cow, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and the strength is infinite, but the most terrifying thing is the two horns in front of it, which are straight, like two sharp swords, and they look slightly upward, and when they want to attack people, they bow their heads and rush over.

It is also a herbivore, but it likes to attack people inexplicably, and its biggest preference is to poke two holes in people's bodies.

Under Baili Bing's rapid dodge, one of the horns of the sword bull stabbed Bai Li Bing's clothes, but the sword bull didn't intend to let her go, turned his head away, and immediately knocked her body out of the way, slamming to the ground, and her body made a crisp sound, which hurt to hear.

The sword bull seemed to be stimulated, let out a low roar, turned his head back again, and continued to sprint forward, and the person who was originally walking behind Baili Ice didn't have time to dodge, and was immediately stabbed to the heart.

The sword bull let out a howl of pleasure, shook his head, and threw the man hanging on the horn out again, and then continued to bow his head forward.

With this buffer time, the people behind dodged one after another, and took the opportunity to attack the sword bull from the oblique stab, and swords and crossbow arrows were greeted by the sword bull.

I only heard a sonorous sound, as if hitting the diamond stone, the crossbow arrows slipped down one after another, and the sword bounced back.

However, this series of attacks obviously angered the sword bull, and he shook off the giant and slammed it to the side, immediately knocking two more people away.

When the two people's bodies flew up, Jian Niu lowered his head again and rushed towards Shen Xiao, who was closest to him, Shen Xiao was still attacking Jian Niu with a bow and arrow just now, and fired an arrow without causing the slightest damage to the other party.

He immediately realized that the assault would not work, and he could only find a way to trap it. Thinking of this, he immediately unburdened himself and prepared to take out the rope from it.

And at this time, without the slightest preparation, the sword bull rushed towards him.

Shen Xiao was shocked, because the distance was too close, he couldn't dodge, and there was no way to resist, it seemed that he had to wait for death.

At that moment, a hand reached over and gently grabbed a horn, as if it were placed on it so gently.

However, the sword bull's entire body suddenly stopped, and because the momentum was too strong, the back half of his body suddenly twisted, and the sound of clicking and breaking bones could almost be heard.

Then, another fist slammed into the bull's head with a muffled thud, like a thunderclap below the ground.

The bull's head immediately sunk into it in a terrifying shape, instantly turning into a blur of flesh and blood.

The next moment, the entire body of the sword bull flew upside down for a distance of dozens of zhang, and the trees along the way clicked and broke in response.

The body of the sword bull finally fell into the broken wood, and it didn't move, and it didn't howl.

Everyone was dumbfounded, everyone was tired of coping just now, staggering, thinking that they were afraid that they would be in a catastrophe, but they didn't expect a shocking reversal to occur in the blink of an eye.

When everyone came back to their senses, they saw Moqi Yushu standing in the middle like the wind, with infinite courage and perseverance in his eyes.

At this time, everyone sighed secretly that they were clumsy, this person was mediocre and silent, but he didn't expect to hide so deeply.

The admiring eyes condensed together, making De Moqi a little floating.

Jin Dan had long been familiar with it, and didn't care about the eyes of these people.

He saw that Baili Bing had slowly stood up and seemed to be fine, so he walked over to check the injuries of the other two people who had been knocked into the air, one of whom had already struggled to sit up, but it seemed that he could not stand up for a while, but it seemed that he was fine.

The other man who had been knocked off was still curled up on the ground, moaning in pain, as if he had suffered severe internal injuries.

"Can you still stand up?" Golden Egg asked.

"I can stand up, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do the next assessment." The man twisted his face, grabbed the hand that came from the golden egg, and stood up tremblingly with the support of the golden egg.

Then the attention of the crowd turned to the field, and the man who had been impaled through the chest by the horns of the bull fell to the ground, no longer breathing.

The person who was supported by the golden egg said that he wanted to quit, but it was obvious that he couldn't go back on his own with his current situation, and when everyone was thinking about countermeasures, one person stood up: "I'll send him back, I want to quit too." ”

In fact, Mo Qi's brave play just now shocked him too much.

When others thought that it was good to enjoy the shade under the big tree and hug their thighs hard, he had another thought: "Compared with this person, I am too weak, victory belongs to people like them, even if I follow him, I am at best just a cushion, if I am lucky, he will take it out, if I am unlucky, I may be sent out by him." Forget it, I'm not going to gamble, I'll go back first, and come back in a few years when I'm stronger. ”

The problem was solved, and everyone was naturally happy to see it happen, so they watched the man help the wounded man to leave.

Shen Xiao suddenly looked at Mo Qi, with a little respect in his eyes: "Dare to ask Brother Taigao's surname?" ”

Mo Qi replied lightly: "Mo Qi." ”

"Brother Mo!" The crowd shouted in unison.

Mo Qi waved his hand anxiously: "Don't call me that, I don't want to die so quickly." Brother Zhou's face resurfaced in his mind again.

"If you want me to rush to the front, just say it, don't beat around the bush like this." Mo Qi said angrily, turned his head and strode forward.

Baili Bing looked at his back, with a little strange look in his eyes. Then, too, she stepped forward after Mochi.

The golden egg immediately realized that something was wrong: "Brother, don't forget your righteousness." As he spoke, he had already rushed forward with an arrow step, walking side by side with Mochi.

The others were also afraid that they would not be able to keep up with Mo Qi's footsteps, and they were afraid that the action of hugging their thighs was too obvious, so they pretended to be humble there, but in fact, they secretly grabbed their positions and moved forward one after another.

Jin Dan's words made Baili Bing's face blush unconsciously, and she lowered her head for fear that others would find out.

Mo Qi jokingly kept patting the golden egg's head: "What is forgetful, what is forgetful, I am walking in front of all of you, is it interesting for all of you?" ”

Jin Dan immediately begged for mercy: "Brother Mo, Brother Mo, I was wrong, can't I be wrong?" ”

Their fight eased the originally tense atmosphere a lot, and it seemed that this terrifying road was not so terrifying.

However, not far away, the scene that greeted everyone's hearts was shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere.

The corpses of several more people appeared on the ground, or a pile of stumps, because there was no complete body left, and the hands, feet, and heads were irregularly mixed together, mixed with colorful internal organs, and a cloud of flesh and blood.

Not far away, the corpse of a beast was lying there, also pierced in the neck, and the blood was still flowing out.

"I'm afraid there is also a strong man in front." When Mo Qi stopped to observe the beast's corpse, Shen Xiao stepped forward, glanced at Mo Qi and said.

The hero sees the same thing, and so does Mochi, and he's sure it's the flirtatious-eyed guy.

He was even more convinced of his own feelings, it was a gifted immortal cultivator.

However, shouldn't a gifted immortal cultivator go to any sect with an open door and be warmly welcomed? Why did he come here to take this kind of assessment?

"How far to the edge of the forest?" Instead of responding to his words, Mochi asked.

"At the current speed, you can walk in another hour, but in front of you is an area infested by demon beasts, and the next road is probably more difficult and time-consuming." Shen Xiao replied solemnly.

Without waiting for Mo Qi to ask, he continued: "Demon beasts are more ferocious and powerful beings than fierce beasts, and the reason why they are called demon beasts is because in addition to the attack methods of biting and impacting, they also have some almost magical methods, such as spitting fire. ”

Most of them have already done a strategy in advance and have a general understanding of all the dangers here, but at this moment, they still don't feel nervous.

Mochi didn't speak, turned and walked forward, followed by the others.

It seems that there is a tacit understanding, Baili Bing is still walking behind Mo Qi, and the others seem to be very interested in not daring to grab that position with her, only the golden egg, walking in front very shamelessly, walking side by side with Mo Qi.

It turned out that it was also very dangerous to walk behind, and just as everyone was walking silently, the people behind let out an exclamation.

When everyone looked back, they saw a black shadow flashing, and the person who walked at the end was dragged into the bushes by something and disappeared.

In this kind of dense forest, once the beast enters the bushes, it is almost impossible to find it.
