Chapter 102: Prairie Mission (Second Update~)
Prairie, Lin Nantian has always longed to come to this magical place to take a look and take a walk.
It's a pity that in the previous life, he didn't have the opportunity to see this kind of scenery outside the plug. When he has time he can't go because he doesn't have money, and when he has money he still can't go because he doesn't have time.
This seems to be the truest portrayal of most people in the previous life.
And now, in this place of assessment and trial, Lin Nantian has realized one of his long-held wishes - to be able to see the scenery of the grassland.
The sky there is lovelier than elsewhere, the air is so fresh, the sky is so clear. Under the sky, there are thousands of miles, but not vast. There are hillocks on all sides, the flat land is green, and the hills are also green. The lines of those hillocks are so soft that they are like boneless paintings, rendered only in green, not with brushes. As a result, the green ** flow everywhere gently flows into the clouds. This kind of realm is not only amazing, but also comfortable, not only willing to stand around for a long time, but also want to sit down and rest.
In this beautiful environment, Lin Nantian wants to lie in this jade world and fall asleep and plunge into the embrace of nature.
It's a pity that now there is only time to appreciate, but there is no opportunity to enjoy.
After all, he is still in the test ground, and in this strange place, there are many unknown dangers waiting for Lin Nantian.
Whether the environment is beautiful or not can affect a person's mood, and the prairie with beautiful scenery makes Lin Nantian feel relaxed and happy now, and his whole mind and state are perfectly adjusted.
Lin Nantian had been walking on this prairie for more than an hour since the portal came in, but he still didn't see anyone.
Isn't there a task in this assessment?
Just when Lin Nantian was puzzled......
Suddenly, a commotion came from afar, breaking the silence of the grassland.
"Drive!"
It was the sound of horses' hooves, coming from afar, and gradually reaching Lin Nantian's ears clearly.
Lin Nantian was neither flustered nor nervous, he had completed countless tasks in "Eternal Myth" and knew very well that something would definitely happen to him on the way to the end of the grassland, and it would be absolutely impossible for him to pass the test safely.
Otherwise, how can it be called an assessment?
Now it's called assessment, and before it was called a task.
Gradually, two vague figures came into his line of sight.
It was a horse, an extremely strong horse, galloping through the prairie at the moment. On horseback sat an emaciated, frail old man who looked extremely flustered.
The horse was running fast through the meadows. Running and running, suddenly, nearly 10 meters away from Lin Nantian, the horse fell down with a bend of its front legs, and the old man fell off the horse due to his great habitual surname (this is too coincidental, right?
I saw that the horse was foaming at the mouth, and he saw that he could not live. It was extremely strong and powerful just now, but now it is a dead corpse. The old man struggled to get up, and limped towards Lin Nantian (he broke his leg in such a fall?), his expression was very nervous and anxious, and his eyes were full of confusion and helplessness.
"Lord Cultivator (Huh, you can see at once that I am a Cultivator?, do I have it written on my face?), please, please be merciful! Help me! I kowtow to you. After saying that, the old man was about to kneel and kowtow with tears in his eyes.
"It's really realistic!" Lin Nantian secretly thought in his heart, but what should be done shows that the kung fu still has to be done, see what he says next. ”
Lin Nantian helped the old man up, and asked with concern: "Old man, don't be like this, if you have something to say, if you need my help, just ask, as long as I can do something, I can't give up!"
The old man's eyes were full of tears, and his expression was very excited: "Thank you! Thank you! Master Yuan Cultivator, there is a large group of ferocious grassland people chasing me behind! I was originally a merchant, but when I was transporting goods in the grassland, I was attacked by this group of steppe people, who not only robbed the goods, but also killed all the people in our caravan. But in the process of escaping, I was discovered by this group of steppe people, who kept chasing me, and now even my horse is exhausted and dead, and I can't escape...... Master Yuan Cultivator, you must save me! If I fall into the hands of this group of grassland people, I will definitely die without a place to be buried!"
"It seems that the task is to protect this old man from being killed by the group of steppe people behind him. Lin Nantian muttered to himself in his heart: "Fortunately, now that the Yuan Force is sufficient, it stands to reason that the school should not set the difficulty of the task very high, right? It is estimated that the level of the latter group of grassland people will not exceed the Yuan Disciple." ”
"Don't worry, old man, it is our duty to cultivate the Yuan and draw a sword to help when the road is uneven. This group of steppe people has been handed over to me, you can hide for a while, and you will come out when I finish cleaning them up. ”
Lin Nantian slowly walked to the small hill not far away, and found a good position on the back of his original position. I didn't think much about it, it was just a powerful punch.
"Boom!"
The small hill was hit by Lin Nantian's punch as if it had collapsed, and the earth and stones fell from the height one after another, almost smashing Lin Nantian's body.
After the collapse, in the place where Lin Nantian's fist hit, a small cave one meter high and two meters wide took shape in an instant.
"Old man, you can rest here for a while!" Lin Nantian turned around and said with a smile: "When you go in, I will find a big stone to block the entrance of the cave, they will not find you for a while, and I will solve the rest." ”
After Lin Nantian settled down the old man's house, he left the small hill with satisfaction.
I don't know exactly how this task will be done, so let's talk about it while watching for the time being!
You can't tell the old man to run away alone, can you? He can't escape fast with his speed. In case those steppe people split up a part to hunt down and kill that old man, it would be miserable, and when the time comes, they will catch up, I'm afraid that even if I win, I may fail the assessment.
It's better to hide the old man first, and then there will be a good care.
A hundred meters away from the small hill, Lin Nantian sat down cross-legged, waiting for the arrival of the grassland people.
"Alas, this kid is still not smart enough!" Through the amulet, the invigilator sighed: "The first branch of this level assessment actually chose to protect the old man and face the grassland people alone. It was a very unwise decision! Although he had a full sense of justice, he did not know the details of the grassland people at all. How many people came? What was the highest rank? And the old man wouldn't tell him that kind of question. (Actually, Lin Nantian didn't even ask)
The invigilator seemed to be a little angry and said to himself: "What a reckless! Are you so confident in your own strength? In fact, the school has no intention of embarrassing the examinees at all, as long as the examinee can use his brains well, give the amulet hanging around his neck to the old man, and then go separate ways with the old man, then the examinee will stagger these steppe people and pass the test easily." ”
"And now...... These grassland people are not what a candidate like him can match at this stage! It's a pity! It's a pity! But there is still a chance, I hope he doesn't choose the wrong second branch!"
