Chapter 279: A grudge is hard to settle a gamble
A month's vacation is not too short, but because there is a New Year's festival in between, the time for trials is roughly fixed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Either solve it in advance, and then have a happy New Year. Either celebrate the New Year first, and then go out and take risks.
Ye Xi et al.'s choice is the former.
Therefore, three days later, in the morning, we still gathered at the gate of the college.
The on-site trial is actually equivalent to a class, so the academy is not closed because of the holidays, and you can still enter and exit freely with the help of the identification badge, but some places such as classrooms are no longer open, which does not have much impact.
"What are you doing here?"
Ye Xi arrived not too late, but Qin Hanbing and the others came earlier, but they didn't come alone, except for Xia Lian, who was not in good condition and only carried a small package, the rest of the people accompanied them with a fully loaded carriage, and even tied a huge thing like a tent to the roof of a carriage shed, which was in stark contrast to Ye Xi who came empty-handed.
"Tents, food, pots and pans, what is this...... Dresser? My God......"
Rubbing his eyebrows, Ye Xi looked tired and didn't love it, and couldn't complain, "Big brothers and sisters, we are not going on an outing, let alone visiting relatives and friends, but fighting and killing demon beasts!"
"I'm glad you still know how to bring a knife, but what's the matter with these pots? Red wolf, you ......"
Ye Xi has never been a person who is afraid to move forward in the face of difficulties, but at this moment, he suddenly had an extremely strong idea of turning around and leaving...... It's not so tricky!
Looking at the tangled and crazy Ye Xi, Qin Hanbing and the others looked at each other, and couldn't help but laugh, and then Pan Fatzi still didn't give up and asked, "But if we don't bring a cloth canopy, where will we sleep at night?"
"That's a good question, what do you think of our sleeping monster belly?"
"Uh......"
Ye Xi didn't bother to explain to them that they couldn't drive in the mountains, they couldn't get in with these things at all, so he simply said to Qin Hanbing: "We discussed it a few days ago, I will lead and command this trial, right?"
"Yes. "Qin Hanbing is not a qualified retoucher, but he is a qualified leader, at least he understands the simple truth of leaving professional matters to professionals.
"Okay, leave the car to travel, and the rest is whatever you want to park here, or ask someone to drive back, I don't care, I only ask for a quarter of an hour later, go!"
Under the compulsion, several young masters and young ladies finally reluctantly abandoned the luxury carriage, but Rao was so, they still brought a lot of things that they thought were necessary, and packed several bulging packages. Although Ye Xi shook his head secretly when he saw this, he didn't raise any more opinions, because there was no need, they would know what was necessary when they entered the mountain, and what could only be a burden.
Leaning slightly, a carriage that was obviously overloaded drove out of the south gate with a clatter.
Oh, it's worth mentioning that Pan Fatzi was still reluctant to discard the tent he had carefully prepared, so the carriage they rode in was the one Pan Fatzi brought.
The blessing of the border, the roads outside the city gates of the night fall city are of the best quality outside the south city gates, and the paths leading to the ancient mountains are basically all official roads, and the road is smooth, otherwise this carriage full of overload is really uncertain whether it will strike halfway.
If there was a real strike, Ye Xi dared to swear that he would definitely not even want the carriage, and directly cut off the reins and rode away, as for the young masters and young ladies in the car, don't they have legs, let them walk......
It's a pity that Ye Xi's plan was not successfully implemented after all, and the journey was very smooth, even the bandits and bandits outside the city were like a collective holiday, and there was no trace of anyone in sight.
Well, that's not surprising. The academy is not in its first year, and trials like this are certainly not the first time in the world, and the bandits and bandits are not all fools, on the contrary, they know very well who can be robbed, and who can hide as far as they can, and it is better not to even look at it.
Robbing the Seal Repairer...... Are you kidding?
Nothing to say all the way.
It was only said that when approaching the entrance area of the Yougu Mountain Range, Ye Xi and the others saw a series of small camps on the relatively flat open space on the side, of course, it was not a regular barracks, because before they got close, they could faintly hear bursts of noise coming, and it looked like a lively market from a distance.
But of course, this is not a bazaar, and it is impossible for a bazaar to dare to open here, otherwise a group of demon beasts who are woken up from a nap are enough to demonstrate what a horse joint venture is.
This is the temporary location of the college here.
No matter how you say it, you have paid the tuition, even if the management of the college is relatively relaxed, under normal circumstances, it will never stand out for the students, but after all, such a big event, it is unreasonable not to send someone over to sit in charge.
The carriage slowly drove in from the gate of the camp, and the atmosphere of the market suddenly rushed to the face.
"Take a look, take a look, the authentic inkware produced by the Ink Workshop. With a knife in hand, the demon beast will give the head!"
"Don't miss it when you pass by, there are a large number of pills for sale, stopping bleeding and gathering qi, everything you need, and ...... quality assurance"
"Where are the people of the Qingling Society, come and gather quickly, and go into the mountains to kill the beasts......"
"Sugar gourd, selling sugar gourd......"
I rub.
Grabbing the reins, Ye Xi seriously doubted that he had come to the wrong party, or was it the wrong way to come in?
What about the cruel trial, what is this?
Okay, take a step back, where there is a market, there is trading, so many people from the academy come here to try, so there is indeed nothing wrong with having a flexible mind to take the opportunity to buy and sell some pills, seals, etc., but what the hell is that aunt over there, you came here to sell sugar gourds? Anyway, how did you find here? Do you have a business to do......
Ye Xi was soon slapped in the face, the curtain of the car was lifted, and Zhu Wan'e looked surprised: "Hey, there are also sugar gourd skewers sold here?" Xia Lian, let's go buy one and try it, okay?"
"Huh? this ......"
"Go, go, just accompany me. Dead fatty, Han Bing, do you want to bring one for you too? By the way, and Brother Ye?"
"No thanks!"
The corners of Ye Xi's mouth twitched, he found an open space to park the carriage, turned his head, and first sent away Xia Lian and Zhu Wan'e, who got off in a hurry, with an expressionless face, and then looked at Qin Hanbing, who was looking around very fresh and curious, took a deep breath, and said, "Hanbing, you go and find the academy tutor here to familiarize yourself with the situation." Fatso...... Is it pretty?"
“...... It's not good-looking at all!" I have to say that Fat Pan is really a clever person, and he is perfect in his kung fu, and he instantly saw the danger signal from Ye Xi's expressionless face.
Nodding, "Since there's nothing to look at, why don't you take the luggage that everyone will carry later?"
Pan Fatzi made a bitter face: "Ah, what are you doing, Brother Ye?"
"Oh, I thought it was pretty good, so I decided to check it out. ”
“......”
Pan Fatzi's face was full of grief and indignation, speechless and looking at the sky, you don't play cards according to the routine......
......
Of course, Ye Xi's move was not only to rectify the fat man of Xiapan, but he also wanted to understand what was going on in this lively scene.
Walked roughly around the camp, well, it really has everything, pills, seals, demon pills, spirit grass, sets of traps, etc., and even those who sell intelligence, the demon beast book they collected for nearly fifty taels of gold a few days ago is only sold here for ten taels of silver...... Rub it! That street profiteer!
The people who sold these things were not Seal Academy students, but a group of scattered mercenary characters. It's normal to think about it, the Ancient Mountains are their home field, they often beg for a living here, and they have some good things on hand, compared to those black-hearted merchants in the black market, the students of the Printing Academy who are full of fat sheep are undoubtedly the best sales target.
Knowing this, Ye Xi had no idea of continuing to wander, let alone shopping.
There's no need for that.
Traps he will design himself.
As for the high-quality inkware produced by the Ink Factory, it is known at a glance that it is a copycat product, and the Authentic Inkware Workshop has an anti-counterfeiting mark - after infusing the true gas, a small ink word will be revealed in an inconspicuous place!
Pills...... He has, and it's all boutique!
Back at the carriage, Ye Xi's brows furrowed slightly, and he saw that Qin Hanbing and a few people not far away were confronting another group of people, all of whom were familiar faces, also from the Huangyin class, and it was the middle-aged group of people in the class led by Luo Datong.
Piercing mockery came,
"Ha, I've seen something, the cloth tent bag, Assistant Master Qin's shot is really extraordinary...... Why don't you just move your house here?"
"Haha, what this big bag knows is that it understands that you are going to hunt demon beasts, and those who don't know think that you are going to the wilderness. ”
"They also bought sugar gourds, ha......"
The contradiction between the two sides has been going on for a long time, especially after Ye Xi beat Naluo Datong in the ring, the two sides are even more on the same footing. It's just that Qin Hanbing's prestige in the Yellow Seal class has been established, and Luo Da and the others are difficult to support alone, and they don't dare to make trouble. Now that I have left the academy and left the town, I naturally have a lot less scruples.
"What's wrong with the sugar gourd? The sugar gourd is delicious!"
Zhu Wan'e's face turned red, and she argued with reason, but this naturally attracted even more laughter.
"The surname Luo, I'll do ......"
"Fatty!" Suppressing the angry Pan Fat Man, Qin Hanbing's face was gloomy like water, and he looked at Luo Datong and said coldly, "It's our will to bring something, it's not your turn to point fingers, Luo Datong, take your people and leave!"
"Assist Master Qin is so majestic, do you want to find the mentor again to sue him?" Luo Datong smiled disdainfully, and then pulled over a companion beside him, and took out a demon beast from the basket behind him, a corpse of a demon beast that was full of thorns but was now stained red with blood, and wrote lightly, "Arrow stabbing Yi, the demon beast of the beginner rank of the seal master, last night's harvest." ”
Qin Hanbing couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he heard this, the combat power of the demon beasts of the early rank of the Seal Master was already not low, if it was a sudden attack, he could easily wipe out a team of capable mercenaries, but on the surface, he still frowned calmly and said, "What do you want to say?"
Luo Datong spread his hands: "How about we make a bet?" Based on the results of this trial, let's see who hunts the demon beast at a higher level in the end." ”
"Not interested. "Qin Hanbing is not stupid, of course he is self-aware of the ability of his own group, it can be said that except for Ye Xi, several of them are mixed up, and on the other hand, the other party's group, all of them are in the realm of the seal master, Luo Datong himself is a high-level seal master, and their identity before entering the academy is similar to Yang Ze, they are all Yin Dao scattered people, with extremely rich experience in field combat and amazing combat effectiveness. Compared with the two, the huge gap is basically obvious.
Luo Datong grinned: "Haha, you're scared!"
No matter how obvious the agitation method is, Qin Hanbing can endure it, but Pan Fatzi decisively can't bear it: "! Just your subordinates are defeated, we will be afraid, just bet!"
"Okay, refreshing!" Luo Datong couldn't wait to make a final decision, and flattered him a little, and then couldn't help laughing, "Ha, since it's a gambling contract, of course you have to have some color." ”
"What are you betting on?" Pan Fatzi's words had already come out, so Qin Hanbing naturally would not weaken his momentum anymore, and immediately asked.
Luo Datong was obviously also improvised, and when he heard the words, he groaned a little, and someone on the side came over to say something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stroked his palms and said, "Okay...... Just bet on the harvest of this trial. If you win, we'll give the highest-level monster we've hunted with both hands. On the contrary, you are the same, dare to bet?"
I have to say that this color is extremely sinister.
It is necessary to know that the results of this trial are directly related to the key to whether or not you can re-enter the Printing Academy in the coming year. And in this case, once they lose, they have to send out the high-level demon beasts they have worked so hard to hunt, so their mid-year trial score will naturally not be high. If the results of the year-end competition are not good, it will basically be a farewell to the Printing Academy.
This is the rhythm of killing directly!
Qin Hanbing and the others all realized that the problem was serious, but at this time, they were already difficult to ride a tiger, so they could only respond in a deep voice: "Okay, just bet on this, you can get out." ”
Now that the two sides have torn their faces, there is naturally no need to be polite between words.
Luo Datong didn't care, on the contrary, he smiled and gave up his hand, and his attitude was quite sincere: "Then I wish you good luck to Assistant Master Qin, haha, brothers, let's go." ”
Laughing and turning, he walked away.
