Chapter 25: Re-entry into the Forest of Weapons
Unforgettable nights always have to pass, and early the next morning, Mu Xiaofeng and the five of them gathered together to discuss the countermeasures for this second exam. Due to the particularity of this examination rule, there are certain drawbacks to putting the word "king" on anyone. If the word "Wang" is placed on Xi Mo, who has the best defensive ability, then the other people who are responsible for covering Xi Mo will be easily broken by each one. And if the word "king" is on Mu Xiaofeng or Zhang Wenyu, the two of them will not only face great risks when they charge into battle, but also have some scruples when fighting. When the word "Wang" is placed on Qin Baoyi or Qiao Zi, they are powerless to resist once they face the fire. Several of them have been arguing about the issue for nearly half a day, but they still have not reached an agreement on this issue.
At this time, Mu Xiaofeng saw through this problem, and he understood that everyone's characteristics are different, and there will inevitably be advantages and disadvantages, so it is impossible to find a perfect plan. Mu Xiaofeng told the other four: "If we continue like this, we will never be able to discuss the result, but I have another idea for you to think about." What we are always thinking about is keeping the 'king' and ignoring the 'shi'. From the beginning, we put 'taxi' in a position that can be discarded, but for a team, no one should be discarded. It is better for us to let only one person know who is the 'king' and who is the 'scholar', so that everyone has to protect each other, and we don't give up on anyone. ”
The others listened to Mu Xiaofeng's remarks and suddenly realized, if this is the case, only one person knows the identity of everyone, and no one else knows, psychologically they will have an advantage over other teams. "In this case, since Mu Xiaofeng came up with this idea, let him be the one who knows everything." Xi Mo uncharacteristically supported Mu Xiaofeng, and the others also nodded in agreement, and Mu Xiaofeng naturally took over the task.
In this way, the group ended today's discussion, and everyone was ready to disperse. Qin Baoyi still dragged Zhang Wenyu away, this time their reason was to prepare some things to be used tomorrow. But at this time, something strange happened, Xi Mo actually asked to go with Zhang Wenyu and them at this time to go shopping together. Xi Mo has always pestered Qiao Zi, but today is indeed the first time in the world. However, Mu Xiaofeng could see Xi Mo's expression and know that Xi Mo himself should be unwilling, maybe he had something unspeakable.
Qin Baoyi, the elf girl, was very happy, she was afraid that Xi Mo would disturb Mu Xiaofeng and Qiao Zi, so she promised to leave with Xi Mo and Zhang Wenyu. This time it was the same as yesterday, leaving Mu Xiaofeng and Qiao Zi. Mu Xiaofeng was still the same as yesterday, staring at Qiao Zi in a daze. Qiao Zi also lowered his head and smiled, unable to see Mu Xiaofeng's stupid appearance.
As soon as the two of them came to the street, they heard a voice shouting from behind: "Mu Xiaofeng!" Qiao Zi! This voice Mu Xiaofeng is too familiar, it is Yun Jie's voice. When they turned around, they saw Yun Jie and Feng Xun walking towards them. When Yun Jie found out that it was only the two of them, she frowned slightly, but she still smiled and greeted them, "How are you guys?" Mu Xiaofeng: Did you heal from the injury you suffered last time? ”
Mu Xiaofeng remembered that he was beaten and fainted by that group of desperate guys yesterday, but fortunately, Yun Jie and his party rescued them in time. Mu Xiaofeng smiled slightly, and then thanked: "Thank you for saving me again, my injury is almost healed, and it should be no problem to take tomorrow's exam." ”
But at this time, Feng Xun was not angry, "You better pay attention, at your level, there is definitely no chance to participate in the quarterfinals, but you can rest assured, you can graduate without participating in the quarterfinals, the quarterfinals are designed for excellent graduates, and you don't seem to have a chance." "Feng Xun has felt Feng Xun's omnipresent hostility since he first met Mu Xiaofeng, and compared to Xi Mo, Xi Mo should be jealous.
Mu Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly, and couldn't help but get angry, but his face was already iron-blue. Yun Jie found that Mu Xiaofeng was already angry, and hurriedly stabbed Feng Xun with her elbow, then apologized repeatedly, stretched out her hand in front of Mu Xiaofeng, and said: "Tomorrow's exam, I don't think there is any need for us to attack each other, after all, we are friends." ”
Yun Jie should be regarded as the smartest of these people, she always saved Mu Xiaofeng at a critical moment, and this time she came to form an alliance with Mu Xiaofeng, hoping that they would not attack each other, so that there would be one less enemy, after all, this exam did not stipulate that students were not allowed to reach agreements in private. But Feng Xun kept muttering, why did he want to form an alliance with such a weak team as Mu Xiaofeng.
Of course, in fact, Mu Xiaofeng's strength is not weak, after all, each of their individual abilities is the top level among the students, but the last time they met was a person who had more experience than them, and they were outlaws.
Mu Xiaofeng understood what Yun Jie meant, he turned his head to look at Qiao Zi, Qiao Zi nodded, and then Mu Xiaofeng reached out to shake hands with Yun Jie, and said: "Of course, we don't want to run into a strong opponent like you, but I have a better suggestion, that is, if we encounter the other party being attacked, we should all show up to help each other be stronger, but we don't need to really help." "Mu Xiaofeng's suggestion can be regarded as a perfect supplement, as soon as he is attacked, someone stands up and makes a gesture of help, and the enemy may retreat. Second, it is acceptable that there is no need to consume the strength of the other party.
As soon as Yun Jie heard Mu Xiaofeng say this, she clenched Mu Xiaofeng's hand tightly and agreed, and after reaching an agreement, Yun Jie and Feng Xun left in a hurry. Mu Xiaofeng had Yun Jie as an ally, so he was a little relieved. But Feng Xun's cynicism just now made Mu Xiaofeng remember it, maybe no one else present would care about these words, but Mu Xiaofeng was afraid that his friends would be in danger, especially Qiao Zi, who he was concerned about.
Throughout the afternoon, Mu Xiaofeng accompanied Qiao Zi to walk absent-mindedly, constantly thinking about the various situations that might arise in the second exam. Qiao Zi also saw that Mu Xiaofeng was preoccupied and had no intention of having fun, so he said goodbye to Mu Xiaofeng, and when he left, he also told him to arrange the cards according to his own ideas.
Mu Xiaofeng returned to his room worriedly, he quickly made the five cards, and he himself was very distressed, after all, it was as if he was holding the fate of the five of them in his hand. In the end, Mu Xiaofeng threw the card, he seemed to have made his own decision, and then covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep.
The next day, the sky was only slightly bright, Mu Xiaofeng packed everything up and came to Gate 1 of the Forest of Weapons, because everyone was already a free team and there were no classes, so this time it was decided by temporary lottery. Mu Xiaofeng held five cards in his hand, standing there in a daze while waiting for the others to arrive. At this time, Dean Cajia slowly walked to Mu Xiaofeng's side, then patted Mu Xiaofeng's shoulder and greeted, "How is it?" Are you all set? ”
Mu Xiaofeng nodded at Dean Kaga, and then asked Dean Kaga, "Dean, what if I can't protect my friends?" Mu Xiaofeng's expression was a little sad, and he seemed to think of some bad endings.
Dean Kaga was taken aback when he heard Mu Xiaofeng ask this, then smiled and replied, "Silly boy, you are a heavy sword warrior, and your ability to protect people is limited. In your team, you are the sword that overcomes all obstacles, and Xi Mo is the shield that protects everyone. Of course, Dean Kaga didn't fully understand Mu Xiaofeng's thoughts, after all, Dean Kaga couldn't control all of Mu Xiaofeng's experiences anytime and anywhere.
Mu Xiaofeng showed a wry smile, and then silently pasted a card on the back of his armor, and then put it on, and at this time, the others also arrived one after another. Mu Xiaofeng first informed the others about their alliance with Yun Jie, and then put cards on their backs in turn, and finally when they were pasted to Qiao Zi, Mu Xiaofeng whispered while sticking to them: "No matter what you are, no matter what I am, I will protect you." Qiao Zi heard Mu Xiaofeng's words, her heart trembled, and then she smiled slightly, although she couldn't guess the words behind her from these words, but she knew that there was someone who would always care about her safety.
Mu Xiaofeng and the five of them are also fully ready, and then it is time to draw lots, Mu Xiaofeng reached out and took out a note from Dean Kajia's hand, and unfolded it to take a look - "No. 4". If it's a bit superstitious, this may not be a good sign. Of course, Mu Xiaofeng didn't say anything, he forcibly held back everything, and just led everyone to Gate 4.
It didn't take long for Gate 4 to slowly open, and Mu Xiaofeng and his party entered this familiar place again, having stayed here for seven days not long ago. However, this time it was shorter, which meant that they would be at a faster pace than before.
Mu Xiaofeng and his entourage walked for a while and then stopped to rest and discuss countermeasures, after all, entering the weapon forest this time was different from the last time, and the test they faced this time was also more cruel.
"If you had to choose, which place would you think would be the place you would choose to settle in?" Mu Xiaofeng asked the other four people, if you say that the place that everyone considers, the number of people in that place should not be small, whether it is to take the initiative to attack or to watch, it must be a good choice to settle in that vicinity.
All of them thought back to what they had entered the Forest of Weapons, and they all pointed to the treasure trove in the heart of the forest. The treasure house in the center of the forest is indeed a good choice, there are powerful guards to use there, and the surrounding environment is also excellent, Mu Xiaofeng thought of it, and naturally the other people also considered this.
So Mu Xiaofeng and his party planned to go to a place a little farther away from the treasure house to settle down and spend the first day peacefully, and collect information about other people nearby.
