Chapter 17: The Dryad
"It's a bit of a surprise."
While the examiner was talking to Zhou Xu, farther away, the lark sat on the highest bell tower in the trial town and glanced at it.
He only commented on a few words, then turned to look at the other candidates.
Zhou Xu cut off the number on the white bear, the examiner left, and the exam stipulated that they could not have much communication with the candidates.
Happily put the number in his schoolbag, Zhou Xu picked up the flying knife that he could still find, and prepared to go to the center of the town to meet Gao Hongzhen.
Liu Heng walked over scarred at this time, he looked at Zhou Xu silently, and threw a piece of wild boar skin at him.
The wild boar skin is branded with "32", and Zhou Xu is a little surprised.
"You killed that wild boar, I don't want your things!" Liu Heng said unconvinced.
"The number of the white bear has been taken by me, if it weren't for you, it would be difficult for me to kill these two fierce beasts alone, this number is yours, and no one owes anyone."
Zhou Xu said, ignoring the number on the ground, and walked straight to the center of the town.
Liu Heng's face was red and blue for a while, and he finally picked up the wild boar skin.
Zhou Xu remained silent and walked on the road without hurry.
His score is now more than 100, maybe he is the first among the candidates, and he can be sure that he has passed the licensing exam, and his mood is much lighter.
The next goal is to find Gao Hongzhen, make sure he also passes the exam, and then strive to be the first in this exam.
Turning a fork in the road, a silver giant wolf appeared in front of him, startling Zhou Xu.
He was about to retreat, but caught a glimpse of a girl sitting on the wolf's back.
Thick silver-framed glasses, black hair like ink, and very delicate facial features.
"Classmate Hu?"
Zhou Xu was very stunned, Hu Xinxin, who was well-behaved and rarely talked on weekdays, sat on a fierce silver wolf, the contrast was too great, and he almost suspected that his eyes were dazzled.
"Ah, Zhou Xu!"
Hu Xinxin exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly got off the wolf's back, his pretty face quickly turned crimson, and he was very embarrassed.
"Uh, Mr. Hu, why are you here?"
Although the three years of high school have been in the next class, the two have hardly spoken, and Zhou Xu subconsciously said a nonsense.
"Zhou, Zhou Xu, I, I'm here to take the exam."
Hu Xinxin also said nonsense.
Zhou Xu couldn't help laughing, his eyes caught a glimpse of the silver wolf's left leg, and he suddenly found the number on it.
100!
Good fellow, this wolf turned out to be the only D-class dangerous species in the trial town!
Such a fierce creature is willing to be Hu Xinxin's mount?
Zhou Xu looked closely and found that there was a place on the silver wolf's body where the hair was dyed red, which seemed to be a sword wound.
Other than that, there is nothing unusual, and Hu Xinxin looks very clean.
Zhou Xu's evaluation of this classmate suddenly rose to a very high level, is this an A-level life?
Just a sword, and the D-class silver wolf surrendered?
"Zhou Xu, how are your grades?"
Hu Xinxin seemed to be entangled for a long time, and plucked up the courage to ask.
"You should be able to pass the exam, congratulations, you also passed."
Zhou Xu smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, did you see Gao Hongzhen on the road?" ”
Hu Xinxin shook his head, and before he could think of what to say, Zhou Xu felt cold and said goodbye: "Then I'll go to Gao Hongzhen." ”
Hu Xinxin hummed softly and got out of the way.
The tall and ferocious silver wolf stared at Zhou Xu indifferently, as if he had no intention of backing down.
"Good dog."
Hu Xinxin said a word, and the silver wolf immediately got out of the way and wagged his tail at her......
Zhou Xu secretly smacked his tongue, this silver wolf is fierce by nature, how long has he known Hu Xinxin, and his temperament has changed so much that he is obedient to this extent......
The other party's life is terrible.
Zhou Xu continued to move forward, and on the way he encountered another dangerous species, which was a very common mouse.
The rats are not much different from the previous mice, except that they are more fertile, have a more amazing bite force, and carry hallucinogenic toxins in their bodies.
Although it is the weakest of the F-class dangerous species, the biological disasters caused by the rats are famous throughout the Blue Star.
About ten years after the World Tree arrived, a city in the West was hit by a rat horde, killing hundreds of thousands of people.
After the rat tide receded, millions of people died because of the plague.
This is an unimaginable number, which made humanity very pessimistic for a while, and it is from that time that the base city has gradually developed high walls and solid underground facilities.
Nowadays, rats are not so harmful, and the most common news about them is that they bite off urban fiber optic cables, causing abnormal communication networks in some places.
Zhou Xu used a pistol to collapse the rats he encountered, all the guns in his hands do not need a silencer, with a perfect silence effect, there is no need to worry about alarming other dangerous species.
The number of the rat is 1, which is better than nothing, and Zhou Xu arrived safely in the center of the town.
Gao Hongzhen was already waiting here, and when he saw Zhou Xu, he immediately said, "Come, accompany me to a place, and give me a pressure array!" ”
He couldn't help but pull Zhou Xu away, and the two turned left and right, and soon came to the door of an abandoned supermarket.
There was a large tree growing in front of the supermarket, and under the tree lay two unknown dangerous species, both of which were not large in size, and it seemed that they were injured and could not stand up, whining non-stop.
Near the supermarket, several candidates were quietly staring, greedy for two dangerous species at their fingertips under the tree, one of whom was Nguyen Phuc.
"Something is wrong, how does it feel like a trap?"
Zhou Xu looked at the big tree, and there was an indescribable weirdness.
"You see that?"
Gao Hongzhen pulled Zhou Xu to the other side, and Zhou Xu saw that the word "98" was imprinted on the body of the big tree.
"E-class dangerous species!"
Zhou Xu's eyes were jealous, which means that there are not many trees nearby, and few are so luxuriant, otherwise if it is on the side of the road, where can I be careful?
The World Tree came to Earth and affected not only animals, but also plants.
Although there are not many plants that become sperm, they are no less harmful than animals, and they are even more insidious and difficult to solve.
"This dryad is too thief, killing two fierce beasts to attract people. However, its intelligence is limited after all, it has long been marked with a number, and it is still there, which is simply carving a boat for a sword. Gao Hongzhen said proudly.
"You're talking about covering your ears and stealing the bell, right?"
Zhou Xu corrected, and at this time, Ruan Fu and another candidate finally couldn't hold it back, and quietly moved towards the dryad to test it.
It's not that they didn't see the number on the dryad, they just had a fluke mentality.
The two slowly approached, and when they were only three meters away from the two seriously injured beasts, their speed suddenly increased, and they rushed towards the target.
At this time, the dryad moved, and more than a dozen rattans quickly drilled out of the treetops, winding and sealing the two in all directions!
"Not good!"
Nguyen Phuc had a wind in his feet, and he decisively gave up his goal and ran immediately!
"Why did you run away, didn't you say that you would advance and retreat together?"
The other candidate was in a hurry, his speed was not as fast as Ruan Phuc, and he was immediately dragged by the rattan, but instead helped Ruan Phuc divert his attention and allowed him to escape smoothly.
More than a dozen rattans were wrapped around the poor candidate, and the candidate resisted desperately, and one was careless, and his right foot was still entangled, and he was directly hung up!
Seeing that he was in danger, Zhou Xu's cuffs were raised, and a flying knife was unsheathed again!
Zheng!
A knife cut off the rattan, the candidate fell to the ground, hurriedly got up, glanced at Zhou Xu gratefully, and fled.
And the dryad was interrupted from eating, and he was also angry, stretched out more rattans, and waved in the sky in the direction of Zhou Xu!
"You should have an idea, right?"
Zhou Xu asked Gao Hongzhen beside him, the reason why he made a move was not only because of a pure sense of justice, but also because Gao Hongzhen originally had thoughts about this tree demon.
He allowed himself to suppress the formation, which showed that he was more confident in dealing with this dryad.
To be honest, the dryad is much more difficult to deal with than the white bear before, no matter how sharp his flying knife is, cutting off a few rattans can't hurt the other party at all.
If Gao Hongzhen is not sure, then they will have to turn around and run away now!
This dryad is very powerful in the range of the rattan, but if you run farther, it shouldn't be able to run fast!
"You help me get its attention, I'll fix it!"
Gao Hongzhen looked quite confident, and Zhou Xu could only nod when he heard this.
He rushed out, pulled out his pistol and fired a few shots at the dryad's tree, the dryad was completely enraged, and dozens of rattans stretched wildly, like poisonous snakes, chasing Zhou Xu!
Zhou Xu ran out of bullets, threw the gun casually, and took out a flying knife in his left and right hands at the same time.
The rattan came close at this time, and Zhou Xu waved the knife in both hands, cutting off all the rattans in his body.
He used his life energy to protect his whole body, and with the help of the sharpness of the flying knife and the rattan, he kept circling.
Gao Hongzhen took the opportunity to get close to the dryad, but the dryad didn't take him seriously, thinking that he was coming for the trap it had set up.
Seeing this, Gao Hongzhen showed a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and rushed forward with an arrow step, pressing his hands towards the body of the tree!
The boldness of this master of the arts is really unexpected, when his hands touched the dryad, life energy gushed out from the palm of his hand, turning into countless white crystals!
I saw that half of the dryad's body quickly turned white, and the rattan that attacked Zhou Xu suddenly stopped the attack and fell to the ground!
A sound similar to a mournful roar came out of the dryad's body, and all the branches and leaves withered in an instant, as if all their vitality had been drained at once!
Zhou Xu looked at this scene in shock, so strong!
Is Gao Hongzhen's salt so destructive to dangerous species in the plant system?
"When did you develop the skills?"
Zhou Xu stepped forward and couldn't help but ask.
Gao Hongzhen's face was full of pride, and he whispered in Zhou Xu's ear: "It's all the credit you gave me for the idea of the Rubik's Cube, which has made my [Salinization] a lot more possibilities." ”
Zhou Xu was surprised, he knew that the Rubik's Cube concept was powerful, but it didn't seem to have such a significant improvement in his life.
He was speechless, could it be that his life was really too stretched, and he couldn't inspire more possibilities?
The dryad died, Gao Hongzhen excitedly cut off its number, this is No. 98, even if the scores of the two heads on the ground are low, his results are enough!
Ruan Fu, who escaped, saw Gao Hongzhen kill the tree demon from a distance, came back, looked at the fierce beast on the ground, and said: "I have a share of credit for this, it's not too much for me to take away a number, right?" ”
