Chapter 28: What is lacking is guts
Liu Liang searched the inside and outside of the train station, but found nothing useful, not even a treasure chest.
He instructed Lei Zhen: "Let's set up the camp here for the time being, this trial is not easy, when I pave the railway line, we will follow the railroad tracks to the depot to challenge the trial goal." β
In a foggy world, it is very difficult to connect two sections of the railway, no optical measuring instruments are used, and even the minimap is foggy, so if you want to build the railway while saving materials, you have to find a way.
His solution was to erect a light pole on the section of the railway ruins, hang gas lamps on it, and then run to the section of his new railway to turn on the lights. Referring to the directions on the minimap, it continued to be extended forward, and constantly corrected, and when there were only a dozen meters left between the two ends of the railway, it was found that the width of the two tracks was wrong. It's also very simple, just bend the track as a whole and the connection is successful.
In this way, Liu Liang built a railway mileage of more than 1,400 meters, and he named the northernmost station Qianwei Station, because it is the most glamorous, like the front end of the application, representing the faΓ§ade of his entire railway system.
There was also a section of the railway from the railway station to the depot, and they began to explore along the railway with full vigilance, and a small house next to the railway appeared on the way, but this was not a station, but more like a small dormitory for railway maintenance workers.
Disciple Lei Ren stood in front of the window of the house, bent down to look at the dirty windowpane, which seemed to have a layer of frost on the glass. He rubbed his finger against it, and it seemed that nothing seemed to be there, and the frost flower seemed to be stuck in the house.
Lei Zhen stood at the door and ordered: "Open the door." β
The two disciples stepped forward and pushed open the door, and saw that Bai Sensen inside was full of spider webs, and even some stools and furniture were wrapped in silk nets, and they couldn't see the original outline clearly.
The two disciples used their swords to pick up the cobwebs that stood in the way and walked into the house, and saw a dried corpse lying in the corner, covered with spider silk like a silkworm chrysalis, with a frightened expression on its head and its mouth wide open. Along the way, they also saw many dried corpses in the forest, but none of them had such a hideous expression, as if they had undergone the most cruel torture before they died.
"This place is a little panicked, let's go."
There was a sudden rustling sound overhead, and one of the disciples looked up at the roof and immediately screamed in fright. Another disciple looked up and saw that the ceiling of the roof had been covered with white cobwebs, and a spider the size of a basket crawled out of the cobwebs, and four pairs of compound eyes stared at the people below, opened their hideous mouthparts and spewed out a spider silk, which shot directly into the mouth of the disciple who opened his mouth and shouted.
The smoke corroded by the spider silk sizzled, sticking the disciple's mouth and tongue, and the other disciple hurriedly slashed the spider silk with his sword, unexpectedly unexpectedly unusually tenacious and completely chopping at all. Another stream of spider silk erupted from the spider's mouth and shot head-on at him, and the disciple hurriedly avoided it, swinging his sword and slashing at the spider's fat abdomen.
The spider's abdomen was shaved open, white liquid flowed downward, and some small spiders ran from their abdomen to the ground, rustling and crawling all over the ground.
The disciple was disgusted enough, and hurriedly dragged his companion out of the house, and the disciples outside heard the screams and also rushed into the house, and saw these dense little spiders shouting and lying in the groove.
They hurriedly stepped forward to help drag the younger brother away, but the younger brother's mouth was still stuck with spider silk, and such a drag actually tore the corroded mouth and let out a terrible scream.
Liu Liang was cleaning the bushes on both sides of the railway in the rear, and when he heard the screams and commotion coming from the railway hut in front of him, he hurriedly ran two steps forward.
The disciples had closed the door of the railway hut tightly, and the little spider that ran out of the door was crushed to death by their feet, but everyone was still in shock.
The muscles of the disciple's entire jaw and lips lying on the ground had been torn off, revealing the whitened flesh and bones. The rest of the disciples were all hurt and uneasy, and they might suffer such an unjustified disaster in the future.
Lei Zhen's face sank like water and frowned, from what happened to this disciple in front of him, he had predicted how terrible the opponent he was going to challenge next would be.
He really didn't expect that the difference between the two trial targets would be so big, and they would both directly change the species.
In the face of demons, demons and gods, can mortals accept this kind of test and this kind of battle? Lei Zhen himself has no confidence.
If the target of the trial is so strong that it is too strong for him to bear, it is better to withdraw early and stop the loss in time, otherwise not only will he lose the lives of all the disciples at that time, but his seven-foot body will probably have to be explained to the secret realm.
Liu Liang saw that the disciples were all bowing their heads and silent, Lei Zhen's expression was also a little solemn, and he thought to himself, what was going on, did they want to retreat?
This is not good, I just fought a boss and was about to withdraw, how can I do martial arts with this bit of guts.
He walked up and pointed to the door and asked, "Is there a spider in there?" β
"Yes, Immortal Master."
"It's just a spider, what are you afraid of?"
"This is no ordinary spider, it can spew poisonous silk threads, and pull off the mouth and jaw of the junior brother."
Liu Liang turned around and swept over the disciples with a wise gaze and asked them, "Is this spider inside still there?" β
The disciple who had just gone in stood up and said, "Immortal Master, this big spider has been slashed by me with one sword. β
Liu Liang asked him step by step: "When you killed this spider, you used a few percent of the strength in your hands to use which of your swordsmanship?" β
The disciple said in a trance: "The disciple didn't seem to use much strength, nor did he use any moves, but he just killed that sword in the usual way of stabbing the sword in a hurry. β
Liu Liang said to them in a mocking tone: "An ordinary disciple killed a spider with only the usual way of stabbing the sword, and you are trembling here and at a loss, it seems that what you lack is not that you are not skilled in swordsmanship or kung fu, but only heart and courage." β
"The immortal master's words are wrong." The eldest disciple Lei Jia was a little unconvinced, and stood up to defend the dignity of the master: "My Leimen disciple goes out to fight for righteousness, and he is not afraid of life and death to defend the master, even if he meets an opponent stronger than himself, he dares to draw his sword and attack." But such a huge and terrifying spider, with such a ferocious attack method of silk, we have never encountered it, this does not mean that we do not have the courage, just ask who will not be frightened when they see this kind of thing. β
"That's right." Liu Liang made an analogy: "When you see this kind of spider, it's like seeing a master who doesn't know the roots, and he lost in momentum before he could make a move, and he became timid and trembling, and he lost his temper at the moment." It is clear that a strong enemy can be solved with a sword, but the other party has the opportunity and is at a loss. As he spoke, he pointed to the corpse of the disciple on the ground and said, "Just like him, he was frightened first, how else can he fight?" β
Lei Zhen listened to what Liu Liang said, and also tasted a little truth, it is one thing to be strong in martial arts, and it is another thing to be able to kill a strong enemy, he has also seen it in the rivers and lakes, those chivalrous warriors who are obviously strong in martial arts died in the hands of opponents who are slightly weaker than him, just because the killing intent is not resolute enough. It seems that the purpose of this trial is not to test the kung fu in hand, but to consider who is calmer in the face of danger, who has the bearing of not moving like a mountain, and who has the possibility of becoming a first-class master.
He raised his sword and said loudly: "What is there to be afraid of, it's just a bigger spider, as a disciple of the Thunder Gate, I can still fight more and more bravely in the face of a strong enemy, let alone a terrifying-looking insect?" β
The courage of the head of the sect grew, and the disciples were not ambiguous, holding the long sword in his hand and saying loudly: "Dare to drive for the master!" β
