Chapter 33: Haunted
However, I have to say that the blow of being late hit Chu Hao's seven inches!
The cultivation of martial arts is inseparable from a lot of money, without the support of money, how could Chu Hao buy a red iron to build a red shadow sword? How could he get a picture of the Izumo Sword Spectrum? and most importantly, how could he buy the Cloud Stone?
But if Chu Hao wants to endure humiliation and surrender, it is even more impossible!
Fortunately, the profits made before Fumanlou were all huge profits, which was enough for the Chu family to support for a long time. Of course, you can't spend money indiscriminately, otherwise if you go to an auction house, 108,000 won't be called money!
After Chu Hao comforted Uncle Yu, he sat in the courtyard by himself, Feihuo was still asleep, and there was no sign of waking up. He looked at the sky, his mind racing.
When he was late to make a move, how did he resolve it?
This guy has the city lord's order in his hand, and it seems that the city lord's mansion also supports him 100% and occupies an absolute advantage. Because no matter what business you do in the city, it is impossible to get out of the supervision of the City Lord's Mansion, since the City Lord's Mansion can be managed, then you can make trouble if you are late!
Therefore, no matter what kind of business Chu Hao changes to, it is impossible for him to bypass being late, and he still has to be restrained by the other party!
Unless he leaves Dongyun City!
However, Madam Yun's power can be extended to the nearby 37 cities, since the Chi family can match the Ling family, then the power will naturally not be small, if you want to avoid being late completely, you don't know how far you have to run!
There is an old saying on the earth, called that the people do not fight with the officials, because they have already stood at an absolute disadvantage before they have even fought!
What to do?
Of course, if you want to compete with the City Lord's Mansion, it is not enough to become the Vajra Realm, at least it must be the Vajra Realm above the eighth order, otherwise how could the nine nobles who have always been willing to be subject to the restrictions of the City Lord's Mansion would have been reversed!
Chu Hao decided to think about these things first, because the selection competition of the East-West Faction Tearing War was about to start, and what he had to do now was to improve his strength as much as possible, and it was best to be able to be late in the competition and teach him a profound lesson!
......
Before I knew it, another three days had passed, and it was the day when the academy decided on the candidates for the decisive battle between the eastern and western factions.
In the world of warriors, of course, everything is decided by force.
Candidates are not directly designated, but are determined through a selection battle. The content is simple: go to an ancient tomb group, and the first eight people to come out are the candidates to fight on behalf of the Eastern Army.
"That ancient tomb group is said to be haunted!" After learning the details of the selection battle, Tang Xin said to Chu Hao.
"Haunted?" Chu Hao was a little incredible, this place is indeed different from the earth, but it is only a high martial arts world, not a world of gods and demons, where does the ghost come from?
"That's what I heard anyway!" Tang Xin couldn't say why, "By the way, I heard that your family is forced to close now, can you still stand it?"
Chu Hao smiled and said, "There is no problem for the time being!"
"I think, let's ask Mrs. Yun to mediate!" Tang Xin repeated the old words.
Chu Hao shook his head, he already owed Mrs. Yun a lot of favors, if he didn't have to trouble others, then it was better not to trouble others.
"It's okay!" Tang thought for a while, "If you really don't have money to eat, you can come to my house to eat and drink, it's just an extra pair of chopsticks!"
Chu Hao patted him on the shoulder, this is not a matter of one more person to eat, it is equivalent to the Tang family declaring war on the late arrivals in disguise!" "Okay, if that day comes, I'll go to your house to eat and drink!"
After school that day, all the people who participated in the screening battle followed the eleven teachers out of the city and into a wilderness.
It's not far from Dongyun City, it's only about ten miles away, and if you're unlucky enough to encounter a tide of fierce beasts, you'll have time to escape back to the city.
By the time they arrived, the sun had already set, and it happened to be a cloudy day, with no stars and no moon at night, and there was still some sunset, and it would be dark later.
This is a cemetery, I don't know what period it belongs to, anyway, some graves have been dug up by grave robbers or hungry beasts, tombstones are slanted, and there are more white bones scattered on the ground, which makes people's hearts furried to look at.
Screening is carried out here, and the test is not only strength, but also courage!
As soon as Chu Hao stood still, he immediately felt that he was being targeted by several hostile gazes.
Ma Long, Lin Yuqi and are late!
Compared with Ma Long and Lin Yuqi, although the murderous aura of being late was strong, it was with a disdain like a cat playing with mice, obviously not taking Chu Hao in his eyes. But to Chu Hao's surprise, Ma Long and Lin Yuqi were actually separated!
The marriage is blown?
It is very likely, because Ma Jicheng is obviously very unhappy with this future daughter-in-law, even if Ma Long likes it, how dare he disobey him?
Chu Hao had no sympathy, this kind of snobbish woman deserved such an end! However, Lin Yuqi obviously would not easily extinguish the idea of marrying into a nobleman, and actually talked and laughed with being late!
In this way, maybe she dumped Malone and wanted to climb the obviously more "high-quality" resource of being late.
Put it on the earth, this is a scheming, a green tea!
"Listen, everyone, the game is about to start!" a teacher said in a deep voice, "All you have to do is to go to the ten places in the cemetery, take the stamps and stamp them! When the stamps are full, you can leave, and the first eight people who go out will fight on behalf of the Eastern Sect!"
"The chapters are in the hands of our ten teachers, in no particular order, but you'd better arrange the order reasonably, so as not to run the wrong road more!"
"Do you see the fire? There are ten fires in total, and we will wait there separately later, and this is also an exit, and those who are stamped or abandoned halfway will gather here!"
As he spoke, the ten teachers dispersed and walked towards a place where the fire was blazing.
Because the cemetery is so large, each fire is at least four miles apart, and no matter how you arrange the route of the run, it will take a long time to run down.
The last teacher stood in place and supervised, and only after the ten teachers who set off were in place to send out the signal did he say, "I'll count to three, let's go together!"
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
When the count reached three, hundreds of participating students immediately rushed out and went their separate ways.
Such a competition rule gives many people hope that not the strongest person will win the final victory, because the route can be freely chosen, and it is completely possible to avoid strong opponents and rely on speed to win.
What an honor it is to become the top eight in the underworld and represent the Eastern faction in the war!
Chu Hao and Tang Xin walked together, and the two of them ran towards a fire at the same time, which was also strongly recommended by Tang Xin, and Chu Hao could be "protected" when necessary.
Don't look at the hundreds of people they had just now, but after they scattered and ran to the ten fires, there were only a few dozen in each direction on average, and each person's speed was different, and after running a few steps, only Chu Hao and Tang Xin were left.
At this time, the sunset has completely disappeared, and this night is full of dark clouds, and there are no stars and moons, and it is simply impossible to reach out and lose five fingers! If it weren't for the fire burning in the distance to guide the way, I'm afraid most of the people would have to get lost!
The dead silence of the night, combined with the eerie atmosphere of the cemetery, has an indescribable horror.
"Ahh
Naturally, they were students of the Eastern Sect, but what happened to them was that they were scared like this!
Chu Hao and Tang Xin glanced at each other, but in such a dark environment, they couldn't see each other's appearance at all, and could only vaguely distinguish an outline.
Buzz!
At this moment, a little green light flashed, like a ghostly fire.
Chu Hao is not afraid, of course, the force value of the earth cannot be compared with here, but in terms of technology, he doesn't know how much he wins, he knows that this is the phosphorus in the bones is burning, forming a green fire.
But what happened next was beyond Chu Hao's expectations!
The sparkling green flames floated up from the ground and formed a human figure!
Through the faint light, it can be roughly seen that it is not the phosphorus fire that has formed a human form, but a white skeleton actually crawling up from the ground, and the phosphorus fire is burning on its body!
Ghost!
Chu Hao immediately thought of what Tang Xin said before, this cemetery is haunted!
A white bone skeleton actually crawled up, isn't this scary? No wonder there were so many people around who screamed in fright, and even Chu Hao was a cold breath that rose straight from the bottom of his heart, and instantly spread all over his body.
Kakaka!
The moonlight suddenly appeared, the sound of bones colliding kept ringing, the ghost fire fluttered, and one skeleton after another crawled up, under the dim moonlight, the indescribable Hitther.
I'm afraid this scene can make the more timid faint directly!
The moon that had just emerged just now was obscured by dark clouds again, and it became dark all around, but on the contrary, it could be seen more clearly, the skeleton was surrounded by Chu Hao and Tang Xin under the cover of the ghost fire.
Can a man fight a ghost?
"Break through!" Tang Xin shouted, his figure immediately burst out, the shortcomings of these skeletons were also very obvious, their movements were surprisingly slow, and they could rush out before their encirclement was formed.
But when it comes to fighting these skeletons...... At least Tang Xin didn't have such courage.
The two figures burst out, but the entire cemetery seemed to come to life, and more and more skeletons crawled up, as if they had come to the Netherworld Ghost Realm. Chu Hao and Tang Xin kept dodging from place to place, the distance kept widening, and the environment here was too dark, so they soon lost each other's whereabouts.
However, at this time, no one can care about this, at least get out of the encirclement of these skeletons first.
Chirping!
Chu Hao stopped suddenly, running around in no direction, how could he get ten chapters? You know, there must be a reason why the academy has put the screening battle here, but it is absolutely impossible to kill the students!
So—
Chu Hao turned around and looked at the white bone skeletons that were slowly surrounding behind him.
