"Knock knock!" the drum beat echoed again at the foot of Silver Ridge Mountain.

"Let's go!" Li Siwen shouted, taking the lead in taking the lead.

Everyone was stunned at first, where had they experienced such a strange audition, so they didn't react at the first time.

"Rush!" I don't know who shouted, and the atmosphere was suddenly ignited.

While more than 1,000 people were running along the mountain road, there were dozens of people at the foot of the mountain who did not move. Some of them were bloated or weak, and they gave up because they knew they couldn't hold on, while others were not sincere in learning martial arts, and they just came to see the excitement and didn't want to put in any effort.

Guan Chang looked at the scene below the mountain and muttered with some sighs: "There are always some people who lose at the starting line." ”

The widest part of this mountain road in Yinling can accommodate two carriages in parallel, and the narrowest place is just enough for one or two carriages to pass by.

More than 1,000 people run together, and it is difficult to have such a spectacular scene as the marathon in later generations. It didn't take long for more than 1,000 people to form a line that was almost a mile long.

The first leader is no longer Li Siwen, but a few stunned young people.

There are a few young adults who are advancing all the way with momentum. They asked the guide in advance, and there was only one way up the mountain, so they were not afraid of going wrong. What they think is that if they can arrive in Majia Village early, they can start the assessment process earlier, and even have more time to rest and wait for work.

Huo San is a member of this first echelon.

Huo Jiazaburo, who has admired Wuhou and heroes since he was a child, is short in stature, and at the age of fourteen, he is less than five feet long (Ye Guo's one foot is about thirty centimeters). Because of this, he was repeatedly frustrated in his apprenticeship in Tan County.

But Huo San had extremely strong self-esteem and vowed never to be discouraged. He usually follows his brother Huo Erwu, who is a soldier, to use knives and guns, and his physical fitness is much better than that of his peers.

He believes that his ability will make up for the disadvantage caused by his height!

Huo San ran hard, as if he wanted to vent all the depression in his chest on this mountain road. Then he noticed that it was overcast.

He looked up and found that it was not a cloudy day, but a person who was more than a foot taller than himself caught up with him and blocked the sun!

Huo San raised his neck very awkwardly and turned his head to look at the "master" beside him, who turned out to be just a half-grown boy who was more immature than himself, at most fourteen or fifteen years old!

"Ahh......h

"This brother, what's wrong with you?" Tang Da said to Huo San next to him as he ran. Although he didn't like to talk, he was really startled by Huo San's voice. It's not a pick-up, it's instinct.

"No, it's fine. Under Huo San, I don't know what this brother's name is? How old is it?" Huo San straightened his neck with great difficulty, and no longer looked at this abnormally developed "child".

"My name is Tang Da, and I'm almost eleven!"

I'm only a little over ten years old, and I'm more than six feet tall!

"Huh-" Huo Sanwei screamed and ran faster, so he didn't want to stand with Tang Da.

......

Guan Chang still stood at the entrance of Majia Village, looking at the long queue on the road. He saw that there were not a few people running in front of Li Siwen, so he said to himself: "It seems that ordinary people here can't run." ”

The distance of 5,500 meters is between the middle and long-distance running in the sports meeting, and the uphill level of physical strength and endurance consumption is definitely no less than that of the 5,000-meter race. The stunned youths who ran in front actually came to a round of "100-meter sprint" first, which is crazy!

"In your opinion, how should you run?" a voice sounded in Guan Chang's ears.

"Big brother!" Guan Chang turned his head to the side, he had heard Yin Zhengyang's footsteps before, so he was not surprised, "Why are you here?"

"Brother Xian, don't forget, Yinling is my home!" Yin Zhengyang said with a wry smile. Although he is the owner of Yinling, there is always a suspicion that the dove occupies the magpie's nest.

Guan Chang scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I didn't know that my eldest brother would come today, and I didn't prepare any good tea here." If you don't dislike it, go into the cave and drink a glass of water. ”

Yin Zhengyang waved his hand and said, "Brother Xian, brother, I came today to see how your game ended." ”

Guan Chang thought to himself, this brother is here to see the joke, could it be that he thinks I can't handle so many people?

"Thank you brother for coming to help the younger brother suppress the formation. Guan Chang suddenly realized. Today's biggest difficulty for him was not to select the disciples of the Invincible Sect among the 1,500 people, but to let the Invincible Sect gain a foothold under the weight of the three sects and four small factions!

Yin Zhengyang didn't deny it, but just continued the previous question, "How do you think this five-mile mountain road should run down?"

......

"You can't run like this!"

Tang Da was about to speed up to catch up with Huo San in front of him, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice sound beside him.

"Cui Xi, why are you here!" Tang Da was overjoyed to see Cui Xi running leisurely beside him.

"Don't talk nonsense, follow my steps. Slow down!" Cui Xi ran in front of Tang Da and blocked him.

Tang Da really wanted to run at the front, but he had to believe Cui Xi, a senior snitch, in the matter of running!

So he gradually slowed down with Cui Xi's rhythm, and watched the other stunned young men rush forward desperately.

Cui Xi then spoke: "I said, you listen." You used too much energy just now, don't talk now, just keep running. ”

Tang Da nodded, he was already tired at this time.

Cui Xi pointed to Li Siwen, who was running two feet in front of them, and said: "This is a person who can run, he only has to be faster at the beginning, and after opening up the distance from most people, he lowers his pace slightly, and he doesn't run slowly." ”

Tang Da couldn't help but speak, "He's the leader, and he doesn't worry about being left behind!"

Cui Xi hated the iron and shouted softly: "Shut up, don't lose your strength! This is uphill, if you can save effort, you can save effort." When he ran like that, he was giving way or pressing on other people. There should still be a place to use physical strength in Majia Village on the mountain, and it would be a fool to use all your energy for stupid running!"

"Finally, why are you here?" Tang Da asked quickly, and then pursed his lips tightly.

"Alas. I'm afraid that you will be deceived, brother. Cui Xi said helplessly, he is such a friend in Tan County, and without him, he will have a lot less fun.

......

The running force had already traveled nearly four miles on the mountain road.

Xie Yun'er has been running in the middle of the stream. She had spent the last few days on the road, and knew the importance of conserving her strength. She was also secretly glad that she had eaten the last bread at the moment, otherwise she would really not have the strength to run this mountain road.

But just as she was about to speed up and bring her position to the forefront, she suddenly felt that her feet were empty, and a shoe was thrown out.

She hurriedly stopped and looked back for her shoes. And the broken straw sandals had already been kicked out of the running crowd.

"Alas, my shoes!" Xie Yun'er shouted anxiously, chasing shoes against the crowd.

But when she found the shoes, the thing in her hand was no longer a shoe. The straw sandals were already tattered, but now they have been trampled by the crowd, and it is difficult to hang on their feet.

Xie Yun'er's body trembled slightly, and a chill rose from her heart. Is it so difficult to learn martial arts?

She sobbed twice violently, her eyes wide open so that the tears would not obscure her vision.

She threw away the rotten shoe in her hand and took off the other shoe from her foot and put it in her arms. Then he walked barefoot forward.

"Whew-whew-" A heavy breathing sound came into Xie Yun'er's ears.

She turned her head to see that it was a round boy who was still running, and there were several young adults who looked like family members around him.

"No, no—" The fat boy yelled shaking his head, and then tilted to the side.

Seeing this, a family member hurriedly supported the fat boy and asked, "Young master, let's not run away, let's go back!"

The fat man gasped and said, "Rest for a while, rest for a while." If you don't go back, you will be looked down upon by the old man when you go back!"

A few family members secretly thought to themselves: It doesn't matter if your son is looked down upon by Lao Tzu, besides, you sleep every day in addition to eating, if Lao Tzu is not rich, no one can afford it.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly ran forward desperately on the mountain road, as if there were tigers chasing after them.

I saw that behind everyone, there were several guides wearing red ribbons walking briskly on the mountain road, and everyone who ran behind them was told that they had been left two miles behind and were disqualified from worshipping the Invincible Sect.

The fat boy bounced up from the ground in an instant, gritted his teeth and said, "Run!"

Who knew that he had just taken a step, his legs and feet were sore, and he couldn't support it, so he fell into a porcelain.

"Zhang Wu, He Liu, you take me to run!" The fat boy shouted angrily before he had time to get up, "As long as I am not eliminated in this round, you will be paid double this month!"

The faces of several family members turned from surprise to joy, and they responded in unison. Zhang Wu and He Liu are pushing one by one, and they are running with the fat boy!

Xie Yun'er frowned slightly, looked at the fat boy and his party passing by, and saw the guides behind him who were constantly eliminating candidates.

Her heart was crossed, and she ran barefoot.
