Chapter Seventy-Seven: Exposed

"You come with me!" The old man turned around and said to the people behind him: "I'll go first, you follow, if you can't climb up in half an hour, just prepare to go back!"

"You guys!" The old man pointed to the Praetorian Guard soldiers and palace maids and said, "Yes, it's you, drive the boat away first, don't be an eyesore here, come and pull people in two days!"

"Yes!" The Praetorian Guards officers and men did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, they all respectfully retreated, walked towards the fleet, and drove the fleet to the previous place

"Let's go!" The old man's voice echoed, and he was already halfway up the mountain

"Uh" in the students were speechless for a while, I don't know how many steps there are in this staircase, I don't know how long it will take to go up, but the old man actually reached the middle of the center in an instant, which really amazed everyone

"It's so high, but it's acceptable, it's nothing after climbing this ladder, an hour should be enough, but I'm afraid I don't know how many people will choose to quit after climbing, even if they don't quit, I'm afraid that those who can't do it will not be able to participate in the trials in the coming year!" Xiao Zheng's eyes froze, the old man just tried his hand lightly, and he had to resist with all his might, which showed his horror

"Let's go, don't think so much, one day you'll surpass him!" Bing'er's eyes kept staring at the old man who could no longer be seen, and only a faint afterimage was gradually disappearing

"It's okay, the teacher shouldn't have found out your identity!" Xiao Zheng couldn't help but comfort Bing'er when he saw Bing'er's nervous look

"It seems that I should pay more attention in the future, when the old man looked at me just now, I don't know why I always feel a little uncomfortable!" Bing'er turned her head, obviously very unhappy with it

"Bing'er, are you alright?" Seeing Dongfang Bing'er's cold look, Han Ling'er couldn't help but be a little worried, thinking that Xiao Zheng had just been attacked and was dissatisfied

"The teacher is just tempting, there is no malice, Bing'er, don't worry!" Shangguan Wan'er listened to Han Ling'er's words and said with a smile

"yes, let's climb it quickly, I've never seen such a long staircase!" Han Ling'er looked at the staircase that couldn't be seen, and couldn't help frowning, her little face was full of resentment

"Not only that, but from today onwards, only a few of us will depend on each other!" Shangguan Wan'er looked pitiful, but her eyebrows were full of excitement, without the slightest worry or dissatisfaction

"In just an hour, most people should be able to walk up!" Han Ling'er looked at the students with full physical strength, and they didn't seem to have the slightest sense of exhaustion, but they all kept a distance from Xiao Zheng and the four of them, and didn't dare to get close to the slightest

"Hehe, haven't you noticed that many of those people at the beginning have slowed down, and now the farthest ones haven't gone a third of the way!" Shangguan Wan'er smiled lightly, a few people walked slowly, not in a hurry at all, for these four people, if they want to go up, half an hour is enough, now they are just enjoying the scenery by the way, looking at the green sea under their feet, the indescribable comfort, it seems that the whole body is stretched

"The forest atmosphere here is so strong, compared to the Elven Forest, is there a big tree with an extremely long lifespan?" Shangguan Wan'er stretched out her arms and wondered

"How is it possible, there are no tens of thousands of years old trees on the central island, Wan'er, you should know!" Han Ling'er looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "There are only more thousand-year-old trees here, there are probably more than 10,000 trees, which is liked by many birds and beasts, so the previous students of the academy have made statistics!"

"I see, that's pretty much it!" Shangguan Wan'er suddenly became more interested in this place, and kept turning her head to look

"I don't know where Ren Hao and them went, no matter how you look at it, you can't see it!" Xiao Zheng was looking left and right, looking for his goal, but he didn't find it, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled

"This is normal, there are so many people here, how can it be so easy to find!" Bing'er looked at the flow of people, most of them were now concentrated or above the four people, and it was so easy to find the dense ones, and it was normal not to see them

"It's good if you can't find it, if others find out that they are close to us, it will always cause some trouble, with Ren Hao and Liu Xingyi here, they will definitely not make any irrational choices!" Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said with an understandable smile, feeling that she was looking for a male compatriot with Xiao Zheng

"Aren't you tired of dressing?" Han Ling'er listened to the sound of the battle armor colliding on Xiao Zheng's body and said with concern

"Uh, aren't you tired?" Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I'm not tired! But can they climb up?"

"I guess I can!" Bing'er frowned and said, "Although they are a little weaker, this staircase should still be able to climb up, and the ones who have problems are Yang Yaoyu and Liu Xingyi, the two of them have learned the tricks, and their physique is far weaker than others!"

"Uh, too, it should be no problem if there is Brother Wen and Brother Ping!" Xiao Zheng thought about it and said, with the physique of Liu Enoughping and Li Erwen, it shouldn't be a problem, not to mention Yang Kang, in Xiao Zheng's opinion, Yang Kang seems to be the strongest one among them

"Don't worry, it'll be fine!" Han Ling'er didn't care at all, this kind of answer seemed to be Han Linger's usual character, and everyone suddenly felt bursts of cold sweat coming out of their backs, as if they had some bad premonitions

"I think it's okay" Xiao Zheng was a little speechless, but he just walked a ladder, what could he do, it seemed that he didn't say anything

The four of them walked slowly and unhurriedly, just moving forward slowly, but it was still not the slowest, and even exceeded a lot, enjoying the scenery while talking about the next life

"Whew~ It's so long!" Han Ling'er raised her head, looked at the long staircase, and complained a little

"yes, it's been so long, and it's not over yet!" Shangguan Wan'er crossed her waist and was a little panting, except for Xiao Zheng and Bing'er, who did not feel any discomfort, most of the students were panting, and some even sat down on the spot, motionless

"Okay! I've seen the head, and I'm holding on!" Bing'er squatted down and helped Han Ling'er and Shangguan Wan'er up, encouraging

"Well, why are you two all right?" Han Ling'er looked at the two people who were not red and out of breath, a little helpless, and a little strange

"When the two of you are as strong as the two of us, it's naturally nothing!" Bing'er pulled the two of them upward, Han Ling'er and Shangguan Wan'er didn't use their strength, but the nobles were used to life, and it was inevitable that they would lack some persistence and training

"I'm here to show you how long it will be!" Xiao Zheng looked at the two of them a little helplessly, during this time, the four of them were unhurried with everyone, and they didn't know what time it was

"Yes, go ahead!" Bing'er nodded and continued to pull the two forward, while Xiao Zheng rushed upwards with all his internal strength

"Bang!" A piece of dust stirred up under Xiao Zheng's feet, and in an instant, Xiao Zheng had already appeared outside the hundred-step ladder, and everyone who was climbing up couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene, but thinking about Xiao Zheng's performance from the beginning of the Dao, this is actually nothing

"Uh, boy, why did you get up!" The water chestnut, who was drinking and eating meat, said strangely: "Aren't you hanging out with your female companions?"

"Teacher, the students came to see the time, and they forgot about it after walking for so long!" Xiao Zheng bowed and said respectfully

"Now, look at that pillar of incense, it's here when it's finished!" Water chestnuts didn't care at all about Xiao Zhengneng coming up so quickly, and moved his chin, Xiao Zheng looked in the direction of water chestnuts' chin, and found that an incense burner was burning about the length of a little finger

"Well, that's all there is left!" Xiao Zheng was shocked, there was only so much left, how could he come in time, why didn't this old man say anything, didn't he just want everyone to lose their qualifications

"Don't worry, there's at least a quarter of an hour left, what's the hurry, it's just a few hundred people!" Water chestnut was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Zheng's fuss, took a sip of wine, and said unhappily: "Can you calm down, make a fuss, do you know why there are 10,000 steps!"

"Please ask the teacher for advice!" Xiao Zheng was stunned, stabilized his mind, and said respectfully

"10,000 steps, even if it is an ordinary person, as long as it is not too weak, as long as you are calm and calm, go up slowly, half an hour is more than enough, you look at the two people next to you, the heart is impetuous, the breath is unstable, naturally they will be a little tired, and the rest of the students are fast at the beginning, and they have no strength when they get to the back, so they will pant like a cow and look tired!" Water chestnut has a good impression of this very qualified teenager, and patiently instructs

"I see, the students are taught!" Xiao Zheng was stunned, but after thinking about it, he found that he didn't seem to feel anything at all, and smiled bitterly in his heart, and suddenly understood the meaning of water chestnuts, and no longer cared

"The girl next to you is weird!" Water chestnut said suddenly, her face seemed to be a little dignified, her eyes were staring at Xiao Zheng, even if she was covered by a visor, Xiao Zheng still had a feeling of being seen through, and her vigilance suddenly rose

"You don't have to worry, even if she is a real member of the Hades, as long as she doesn't cause trouble in the academy, she will never be fine!" The water chestnut ate the meat and drank the wine, and became casual again, and said lightly, but Xiao Zheng was suddenly shocked in his heart, I don't know when the old man knew

"She's never sucked anyone's blood!" Xiao Zheng said in a deep voice, but his hands were already clenched with weeping blood, Xiao Zheng would not allow anyone to hurt Bing'er

"The old man knows, that's why it's strange!" The water chestnut closed her eyes as if enjoying the sun, and said, "You don't have to be so nervous, if the old man did it, you would have been finished!"

"Uh, that teacher" Xiao Zheng hesitated, but he never let his guard down

"The old man just wonders how she can survive without sucking human blood?" Water chestnuts expressed the curiosity and doubts in their hearts and said, "If the blood clan didn't suck blood, I'm afraid I would have starved to death a long time ago!"

"Bing'er, she can survive by eating ordinary food!" Xiao Zheng replied lightly, and then wondered: "How do you know? Bing'er shouldn't have been exposed!"

"Our demon clan is different from your human race, when it erupts, you can naturally feel the blood qi on the blood clan's body, the blood qi on her body is thick, but there is no resentment or death at all, so I can be sure that she has never killed a person!" Water chestnuts looked at Xiao Zheng again, and her voice was a little low: "She can eat ordinary food?"

"Bing'er her!" Xiao Zheng looked at the water chestnut without fear, thinking of the various things of the demon clan, he sighed and said: "She is a hybrid of the human race and the blood race, so she only needs ordinary food, and the amount of blood sucked is very small, only a little amount of each time she absorbs! For a person, it is like the blood that is wasted by a broken finger!"

"Is that true?" Water chestnuts stood up and said with some excitement

"Seriously!" Xiao Zheng affirmed: "I implore the teacher to keep this secret!"

"Okay, I promise, as long as she doesn't break out casually, she'll be fine!" What water chestnuts care about now is a way to make the blood clan merge into the human race, and Bing'er naturally doesn't care about it, not to mention that there is almost no difference between Bing'er and the human race

"Thank you, teacher!" Xiao Zheng said gratefully, the promise of the demon clan has always been true, of course Xiao Zheng replied with confidence

"Go, go, go!" The water chestnut waved her hand impatiently, and she sat on the chaise longue, thinking to herself!
