Chapter 57: The Problem
"Today is the day you officially begin your trials, and I hope you're all ready. ”
Ghost Hand stood in the center of the field and looked at the group of students in front of him, his eyes were stern and a little hazy, as if he recalled that he had also stood here and experienced everything back then, and standing in front of him at that time was the youngest instructor in the history of the Black Court, Su He.
There was a determined light in the eyes of each student, no one was wavering, they did not flinch in the face of the upcoming challenge, and they were clearly fully prepared.
Xiao Lin's expression was calm, quietly listening to the ghost hand tell the final precautions, occasionally his eyes were hazy and a little distracted, he had been difficult to maintain a long-term attention to these words, fortunately, there was still Linglong, this girl was serious about doing things, and she was also serious about listening.
When the time comes, it would be good if there was something to ask Linglong directly, Xiao Lin had already made this kind of plan, and he specialized in the art industry, and he was really not good at this kind of thing, either he was distracted or he was sleepy.
originally thought that the ghost hand would be able to finish the lecture in a few minutes, but as soon as he said it, he nagged for a long time, and told Xiao Lin and these students in detail about the forbidden areas that should be paid attention to in the forest of ghosts, and at the same time all aspects that should be paid attention to when surviving in the wild.
Although the ghost hand is cold and ruthless on his face, he scolds whoever is unhappy, but he still doesn't want these young lives to dissipate prematurely, and hopes that they can grow up and become strong people who can take charge on their own.
"That's all there is to it, now the ready team is ready to go. Ghost Hand placed a timer in front of everyone, "This is the last time countdown, you can still stay here during this time, you must all leave when the time is up, and you can earn points early if you leave early." ”
After the ghost hand finished speaking, he stood aside and watched silently, and the students were still in place, talking quietly in small groups, discussing the final battle strategy, after all, they had to face killing and facing many dangers in the forest of evil spirits when they left this door.
Moreover, they have also experienced the infiltration of outsiders before, and everyone is very vigilant about this trial, hoping to be fully prepared.
"Why are young people so impulsive now. The crow looked at the students and pouted, "I was the first to rush out and ride into the dust." ”
"Pull it down. "The ghost hand dismantled the stage mercilessly," Chong was the first to rush out, and he ran back not long after he went out and ate a mouthful of mud. ”
"Nonsense. The crow was furious, "You are an insult to my reputation, and I will fight you in a duel." ”
"Don't interrupt. The ghost waved his hand to stop the crow for a moment, "Someone has set off." ”
Xiao Lin and Linglong were the first to walk out, it was useless to stay here at this time, it was better to start early, it would be useless for them to drag on for a long time.
Xiao Lin didn't hear some gossip when he went out this time, and the few students who had been watching him unhappy before rarely didn't speak, it seemed that they were frightened by his previous performance, and of course they might be busy preparing for the trial and didn't have time to deal with Xiao Lin.
The ghost hand watched Xiao Lin walk out of the confines of the residential area, his eyes were like a poisonous dragon standing aside from beginning to end without speaking, this man was so quiet today, it made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.
There was also a domain lord who was sitting under the pergola drinking not far away, and it was also pressed on the heart of the ghost hand like a big stone, so that he did not dare to relax his vigilance for a moment.
"It's a trial, but I haven't seen any changes. Xiao Lin walked out of the range of the residential area and found that the Forest of Powerful Ghosts was still the same as before, and there was no difference between it and the previous state.
"It's not. Linglong's expression was serious, and she said in a slightly soft voice: "There must be changes, but we can't detect them. ”
"Then how do you know?" Xiao Lin was stunned and asked blankly.
Linglong shook the Yuzang Sword in his hand: "It feels it." ”
Xiao Lin suddenly patted his head, the sword momentum of the Yuzang Sword could feel the crisis and killing intent in the surrounding environment, no wonder Linglong could detect a slight change.
"Then let's move on, maybe we'll run into some criminals. Xiao Lin said, "I have to find a place to settle down and set up camp blindly, I'm afraid there will be danger." ”
"Do you know how to cook?" asked Linglong coldly.
"Well, it's okay. Xiao Lin said weakly, "At least it won't be dead, what's wrong?"
"Our supplies are definitely not enough to last two months. Linglong said, "In the end, we need to solve the food problem by ourselves, I can't cook, so you come." ”
Xiao Lin nodded stunnedly: "Okay." He scratched his head, it seemed that life in the Forest of Demons was much more difficult than he had imagined, and many problems had already arisen as soon as he left the residential area.
"The criminal's area is still ahead, and it will take about two days to go. Linglong looked at the communication compass in her hand and said, "Just watch out for the beast for the first two days." ”
Xiao Lin touched his chin a little embarrassed: "How are the points of criminals calculated?"
Linglong glared at Xiao Lin: "Didn't they all send messages?"
"Forgot to look at it. Xiao Lin said with a dry smile.
Linglong sighed, now she regrets teaming up with Xiao Lin, she doesn't look at anything, she is really an unreliable man, wrong, boy.
"Criminals are divided into different points by various indicators, such as combat power, ferocity, and so on. Linglong patiently explained in the end, "At the same time, according to how easy it is for us to kill, whether it is a difficult victory or a complete victory, different points are also divided, and in the end, the two are added together to become the points we get for finally killing the criminal." ”
"I see. Xiao Lin nodded to show that he understood, "Let's hurry up, the other students should also set off one after another." ”
Xiao Lin saw that Linglong's expression was a little terrifying, and quickly changed the topic, he found that the Yuzang Sword was about to be uncontrollable, and it could be unsheathed at any time.
Linglong glared at him, and felt a little helpless in her heart, she felt more and more that every time she stayed with Xiao Lin, it was difficult for her to maintain an expressionless appearance, and this guy in front of her could always change her way to make her collapse.
Xiao Lin laughed dryly, and hurriedly took the lead towards the depths of the forest, Linglong followed behind with the Yuzang Sword, and the communication compass of the two people was always running, always probing the surrounding situation to prevent the recurrence of the previous attack.
The new version of the communication compass has also been greatly improved in terms of battery life, which originally needed to be replaced in a month at most, and now it can be safely spent in two months when it is turned on at full power, so it can be said that there has been a significant improvement in basic performance.
The Forest of Demons was still the same as before, the light was dim, and it was full of dense trees at a glance, and the shadows overlapped together, so that it was impossible to see the road ahead.
The forest was surprisingly quiet, only the sound of leaves could be heard, and there was no roar of beasts or birds.
Xiao Lin and Linglong turned into two rays of light and shadow and quickly shuttled through the forest, wanting to pass through this area as soon as possible and enter the activity area of the criminals in front.
"The process is faster than expected. Xiao Lin glanced at the communication compass, they had already crossed half the distance in just half a day, which was not inefficient, and there were almost no obstacles along the way.
"It's getting dark, let's settle down first. Xiao Lin greeted Linglong.
The two men quickly hid in the woods, finding an inconspicuous corner, surrounded by dense bushes and huge rocks towering on either side, and they set up their tents against the rocks, in front of which a small cluster of campfires flickered with sporadic light.
"You seem familiar with life in the forest. Linglong sat by the campfire and looked at Xiao Lin's side face and said.
"It's fine. Xiao Lin smiled faintly, remembering the past, "I have lived on the edge of the mountain for a while, and I run to the mountain when I have nothing to do, so I am more familiar." ”
"Sounds interesting. Linglong said lightly, the light in her eyes was a little dim.
"It's not that much fun. Xiao Lin said, "There is nothing in the mountains, just wild beasts, birds and some hunters, occasionally it is fine, and it is boring to see too much." ”
"This trial was the first time I had seen a forest, I had never seen a sea, I had never seen a mountain, I had never seen a river. Linglong said quite calmly.
Xiao Lin was stunned: "You won't never go out of the house, right?" ”
Linglong nodded: "I have been living at home and never going out before I came here." ”
"That's pretty bad. Xiao Lin nodded and said, he didn't dare to imagine the kind of days when he stayed at home and never went out, if he changed, he would definitely suffocate to death, no wonder Linglong was silent all day long, this is a bad environment for growing up.
"Oh, here you go. Xiao Lin handed over a compressed biscuit, to be honest, the taste was really not good, and it could only be used to fill his stomach.
Linglong took the biscuit and took a bite, as if she had no sense of taste at all.
"The little couple is living a very comfortable life. A low, ill-intentioned voice sounded not far away.
"Who!" Xiao Lin immediately stood up, lifted the long sword beside him, Linglong's reaction was also not slow, and the "brush" of the Yuzang sword was unsheathed, and the murderous aura was permeated.
A tall figure stepped out of the shadows in the distant woods, with chains on its body, arms and face all over it, and a label on its chest that read "0049".
"Criminal?" Linglong was stunned.
"Isn't it that you haven't arrived in the area yet?" Xiao Lin was startled, he suspected at first that he had encountered the ability to infiltrate again, until he saw the label on the man's chest and was sure that this was the criminal, and on it was his serial number.
"Do you expect us to wait there for you to kill, laughing to death. The criminal with the serial number "0049" said, "As long as we can live to the end, we will be free, and of course we must take the initiative to kill a few more people at this time." ”
"You're here to send points. Xiao Lin shook the long sword in his hand and said slowly.
"Whoever kills whom, then you have to try to know that today's young people are really arrogant. The offender laughed.
A strong wind blew in the woods, the leaves flew and the branches of the trees danced in the wind, like spectators in the gladiatorial arena waving their arms.
Xiao Lin stood in front of Linglong: "I'll come, you pay attention to the movements around you, there may be more than one person." ”
Linglong nodded, taking two steps back, keeping an eye on the movements around her.
Xiao Lin took two steps forward, stared at the tall criminal, and spoke lightly.
"Come on, points!"
