Chapter 5 Encounters and Partings
It didn't take long, but this time it was Foolish who stopped first.
"Can't walk?" It was obviously an ordinary interrogative sentence, but it made Chu Xiangyun say a rhetorical tone.
Relying on Chu Xiangyun's inability to see, he gritted his teeth angrily, and made a false knock on Chu Xiangyun's head, seeing that she didn't notice it, she withdrew her hand and sighed.
"No......" his tone was a little weak, "it's already dark, let's stop here and rest." β
Obviously unable to see it, Chu Xiangyun still subconsciously raised his head, and after reacting, his tone was obviously lost, "I know." β
After leading Chu Xiangyun to the shelter, he helped her sit down, and said, "Our packages are all lost, I'll go look for food, and by the way, see if there is any water source nearby." β
Chu Xiangyun raised his eyebrows, his face full of distrust.
ββ¦β¦ I won't go far! β
Without waiting for Chu Xiangyun to agree, he chose a direction and strode forward, leaving Chu Xiangyun alone in the sand, holding his face in a daze.
I don't know how long it has been, it seems like it's been almost an hour, and the absurd details haven't come back yet. Chu Xiangyun finally changed his posture and lay on his back on the ground dejectedly.
"Alas......"
Finally gone.
Chu Xiangyun stared at the night sky with her eyes open, stretched out her hand to trace the outline of the flow of spiritual power, although she couldn't see the beautiful stars at this time, this exquisite spiritual power structure was enough to fascinate her.
You can see it, but you have to pretend you can't see it...... It was a novel experience for her.
In fact, Chu Xiangyun didn't notice anything wrong at first, at that time, she really ran out of spiritual power and couldn't feel anything.
That person's voice, tone, and attitude all indicate that there is no doubt about his identity, but as long as you get in touch with the other party, you will find that there is a sense of disobedience everywhere.
First of all, Chu Xiangyun's first temptation-
"I didn't expect you to survive." And unscathed.
In fact, this is something that Chu Xiangyun has been concerned about since the beginning, from the moment she found that the guard was covered with scars, but the details were only torn clothes, she began to think about it.
However, this doubt had already been solved after Chu Xiangyun was attacked by a huge white-scaled beast.
At that time, she was obviously smashed from the boulder by the claws of the white-scaled beast and fell to the ground, but she was unexpectedly unharmed.
The reason for all this was undoubtedly - the token that was heating slightly in her pocket at that time.
If that token is a defensive artifact, all doubts will be solved. It also explains why he knows that there is something on his body that attracts the Whitescale Beast to attack, but he can't discard it.
Because that's his life-saving prop.
Originally, Chu Xiangyun thought that the token was the reason why he needed to go to Golden Sand City, but now it seems that there is something else. And the person who pretended to be a fool before...... I'm afraid it's the "big question" of this exam.
The other party should be the one who manipulated the white-scaled beast, and the person who used his hands and feet on the ridiculous token should also be him.
After controlling the giant white-scaled beast to attack them, he chased after the location of the token, but he didn't expect that the token was not on the body of the fool at this time.
After that, there was a trial between the two sides, and after determining the location that Chu Xiangyun didn't know the details, he didn't hesitate to abandon Chu Xiangyun in this desert.
However, for a person like this, it is already benevolent not to kill Chu Xiangyun, and Chu Xiangyun guessed that this is probably also an intentional release of water in the exam.
Just now......
Chu Xiangyun sighed helplessly.
It's obviously an escort mission...... She lost the escort figure.

The other side.
"I'll hold it in a moment, and you run there. We're not far from Jinsha City, and you'll be able to get there as long as you keep running. Shi Zhuqing spat out a mouthful of blood, which was the wound she had suffered in front of the man.
Without a response, Shi Zhuqing glanced at the person beside him, "Did you hear that?" β
But he gritted his teeth and didn't look at her, as if he had made a lot of determination, he slammed his palm into his heart, and under Shi Zhuqing's shocked gaze, he put his hand into it and took out a piece of blood-stained paper.
What is surprising is that after the self-injury, the absurd complexion has recovered a little, and it is not as weak as before.
He handed the paper into Shi Zhuqing's hand, and for the first time he made complete eye contact with her, instead of dodging as before. Only then did Shi Zhuqing realize that the person in front of him didn't seem to be very old, and there was a clear student spirit in his eyes.
"Send it to Jinsha City, as long as it can be handed over to Zhiningsi there, please."
Shi Zhuqing was stunned, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak.
"And ......" Fallacy hesitated for a moment, but then made up his mind, "Beware of a man named Lian Wenying." β
After saying that, he ran in the opposite direction of Golden Sand City, and the huge white-scaled beast followed closely behind, raising a puff of sand and dust to obscure Shi Zhuqing's gaze.
Shi Zhuqing clenched the Thousand Gully Seal that had dimmed in his hand, and his mind was confused.
For the first time, she hated her powerlessness.
Glancing at it from a distance again, Shi Zhuqing ran in the direction of Jinsha City.
*
Anyway, let's go in the direction of Jinsha City first.
Chu Xiangyun stood up, patted the sand on his body, identified the direction, and walked forward.
That person was probably deliberate, and the direction he took Chu Xiangyun was indeed the direction of Jinsha City, probably thinking that he might encounter a fallacy on the road, but I don't know if it was bad luck or a fallacy hiding, and he found nothing on the road.
Now Chu Xiangyun has not been judged to have finished the exam, which means that there is a high probability that he is still alive, but at the same time, he should not have arrived at Jinsha City yet, and he is still on the way.
On the way.
This is not a good thing in the middle of nowhere.
At present, Chu Xiangyun's hands are almost really empty, there is no food, drinking water, and task items, but fortunately, the quality of her weapons is still first-class, and she is still in her hands at this time.
In the wilderness, patience is the first lesson Chu Xiangyun has learned, and it makes no difference in the desert.
Even though her mouth was thirsty and her stomach was empty, Chu Xiangyun's footsteps still didn't stop, and she was worried that something would happen to her side again.
Fate didn't favor Chu Xiangyun too much, after walking all night, Chu Xiangyun arrived at Jinsha City, but after asking around, no one had seen any similar fallacies.
Hasn't he arrived yet?
Chu Xiangyun stood on the sandstone above the city gate, constantly patrolling the distance, hoping to find that familiar spiritual power fluctuation, and the passers-by around him couldn't help but look at her when they passed by.
"Little girl, drink some water." A policeman who was patrolling the side of the road walked up to Chu Xiangyun and handed her the unopened water bottle.
Chu Xiangyun did not refuse, took the water bottle and thanked the other party.
"Are you waiting for someone? How big is the sun, why don't you go to the police station and wait, and we'll keep an eye on you while we make your rounds? β
Seeing that she had taken the water bottle, the kind policeman continued to persuade her.
In fact, a group of them had been observing Chu Xiangyun for a while, and after discussing it, they were still relieved, and a group of people pushed him over to ask.
"Thank you." Chu Xiangyun nodded and thanked him in the direction of him, and said with some trouble: "I'm worried that he won't find me......"
"Have you seen the person I'm looking for? That's about that. Chu Xiangyun gestured, "Looking at a very young man, his clothes are a little tattered......
"Is that the person?" The policeman suddenly interrupted Chu Xiangyun's words and pointed into the distance.
Chu Xiangyun immediately turned her head, and sure enough, she saw the spiritual power fluctuation that impressed her, and before she could run over, the other party first saw her standing on a high place and was extremely conspicuous, and hurried over.
"Are you alright?"
The same words collided, and the two of them smiled at the same time.
Seeing this, the police also relieved themselves and quietly left.
Before Chu Xiangyun could continue to ask about the detailed experience, he saw that he handed her something first, which was actually her lost blindfold.
Chu Xiangyun took it with some surprise, raised his eyes and looked at the details again, only to find that he was covered in injuries, his white clothes were about to turn earth-colored, and the clothes that were only slightly torn were about to become strips of cloth, which was the same as before.
Thinking that it seemed that he had taken away the opponent's defensive spirit weapon and threw it to a few white-scaled beasts, Chu Xiangyun couldn't help but feel a little weak.
Fortunately, Yu Shen didn't seem to care, probably when he finally arrived in Jinsha City, the other party's expression was unprecedentedly relaxed and relaxed, and it was the first time Chu Xiangyun saw him speak in such an excited tone.
"Thank you, Xiao Chu!" Seeing that he was a little choked with excitement, Chu Xiangyun hurriedly handed him the water bottle in his hand, took it and drank it, and took a breath of relief before continuing to speak.
"Thanks to you, I'm finally here in Golden Sand!"
As he spoke, he looked at the name of the city engraved on the city gate, and there seemed to be a little tear in the corner of his eyes.
"It's okay......" Faced with such enthusiasm, Chu Xiangyun was a little at a loss, and his voice lowered.
In order to alleviate the emotional embarrassment, Chu Xiangyun changed the topic, "Why are you so late?" I thought you should be there early. β
"Ah......" Yu Shen turned his head, but instead of looking at Chu Xiangyun, his ears turned red first, this appearance made Chu Xiangyun familiar with it, and his mood relaxed.
"What's wrong?" She asked in a rare soft-manner.
"I'm looking for you." As he narrated, Chu Xiangyun's eyes hidden under the cloth belt suddenly widened, "I'm sorry, I only saw the corpse of the white-scaled beast when I arrived, I think you may have come to look for me." I was worried that if I went back, we might miss it again, so I had to keep walking in the direction of Jinsha City, probably because it delayed time......"
Chu Xiangyun was speechless for a long time.
She never thought about it...... Falsely going back to her.
Between risking the risk to find someone they have known for a short time and going to Golden Sands City to complete their mission, the other party actually chose the former.
Rather than saying that this is the logical setting of the game NPC, Chu Xiangyun is more willing to believe that what is standing in front of her at this moment is a living person.
Chu Xiangyun looked at the fallacy in front of him, who was still at a loss and didn't know if he had said the wrong thing, took off the blindfold he had just put on, and began to trace the flow of spiritual power of the person in front of him bit by bit, and then turned his head to observe all the people who were walking in a hurry in the city.
It's not the same.
It's not at all.
Chu Xiangyun's mind was blank, and he even forgot where he was at this time for a while.
It wasn't until the scene in front of him began to collapse, the spiritual power in the sky turned into points of light and scattered, and the ridiculous body quickly became shallow until it disappeared, that Chu Xiangyun came back to his senses and tried to step forward to grab the other party, but to no avail.
"Waitβ"
The illusion ended so quickly that Chu Xiangyun found that he had returned to reality before he could even finish speaking.
- The exam is over.
