24.
Seeing that the year is approaching, the last day of the freshman year is approaching, and there will be a field trial as a semester exam. Some people would be sent to the snowy mountains to steal the snowman elder's crutches as a score for the semester exams. Some will be sent to the desert to steal the feathers of the Pyrophobia. will also go to the deep pirates to retrieve dragon scales, which are extremely difficult tasks, which can be completed, and it will be considered a semester before graduation.
Tingxiong still followed Zijun after his physical recovery, they have the name of boyfriend and girlfriend, but I rarely see them holding hands, sometimes far away. They profess to be lovers, but to us they are like strangers. Xiaoming has a girlfriend, a girl from the next class, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, with a Chinese face, a pair of calm eyes, and a row of teeth like withered corn when she laughs. They are like two magnets that stick to each other and repel each other.
Our trial is called Twilight City, and it is a military stronghold that must be captured every time you fight, no matter who you are. It was a place where the dead lived, there was no water, no food, and every year except for the wind and sand that cut people's skin, it was a haunting sandworm, and all the materials were transported, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
I, Zijun, Zhao Pu, and Tingxiong were put into a group. Help the garrison find a tombstone with a lost scroll. It is said that water can be found for the land of the living dead.
The little pig sent us far away, and he didn't return until he left the capital. We haven't seen Lin Hui for a long time, and we heard Hongmei say that she has found a new boyfriend, the son of a deputy mayor. The little pig felt more and more hopeless. Now that we are gone again, he is almost alone, like a defeated veteran returning home.
Hua Han came to the Sword Pavilion to find me, I was not there, she chatted with Tao Yao for a long time. She knew from Tao Yao that I knew how to use soft swords, so she asked me about the origin of soft swords. I can't hide it from her, the willow leaf swordsmanship has been borrowed by her for a long time. Once she asked me to compete, she knew all the weaknesses of my swordsmanship, and if it weren't for my strong internal strength, she would have fallen under her. Regarding the willow leaf swordsmanship, she said that she understood it all, but her internal strength was not enough, otherwise she would definitely practice. I asked her to teach me, and she came to the Sword Pavilion every night.
She is commensurate with the Taoyao sisters. Tao Yao said that she did not lose, and she said that the pursuit of happiness is everyone's right. She always had a flame shining in her eyes when she saw me.
It always rains when I leave a place. The thunder of that day was like a white centipede, crawling on the sky. The wind is blowing and the rain is blowing, and the world is shaking. The four of us drove up the wind in an off-road vehicle, and the day was as dark as night.
Tingxiong drove and drove very carefully, such weather. Zhao Pu sat beside him and closed his eyes to recuperate. The two of them are like a silhouette painting, if it weren't for the car moving, I would have thought the world was dead.
Zijun said that this mission is S-class, and we all have to be very careful.
"How can there be an S-class in the freshman mission?" I was surprised.
There are 7 levels of tasks assigned to students by the Ministry of Education. D、C、B、A、S、SS。 The survival rate of those who perform the task by S is only 30%. And SS only 10%.
"This mission is very important to me," Zijun said.
"To you?" Zhao Pu said with internal force, but he still closed his eyes.
The rain outside the window hits the glass like a stone.
"Looking for a deceased relative," Zijun said.
"Who is it?" I asked her.
"My brother, who died in the land of the living dead, I have waited a long time for this opportunity. ”
"Then send us up to carry out the S-class mission," Zhao Pu's words were a little tough.
"The three of you are the best in this class of students, and only when you are together can I convince the school to assign this task to me. I can go to the land of the living dead. ”
"You're using us" Zhao Pu's eyes opened suddenly, like a wolf in the rearview mirror.
"There's a town of Wuyi in front where you can get off. I'm sorry if I took advantage of you. But I want to make it clear, I didn't force you. ”
Zhao Pu slowly closed his eyes and stopped talking.
"You, no. If you think I'm lying to you—" She glared at me, complained at me, and begged me.
"I hope to let me know in advance next time. I said.
Zijun smiled slightly: "I know you won't abandon me" This is the first time I have seen her smile since she became president.
We were all calculated by her.
Three days later, we arrived at the last stop of the trip. In front of me is the gravel-covered Gobi. The sky is sprinkled with stars. The wind whistled through the car window, like someone slapping on their clothes.
Two years ago, when Zijun got her brother's death notice, she knew that one day she would come here.
"People all over the world commit suicide, and my brother won't" Zijun seemed to be in a dream, curling in a small square space in the back seat, "They said that my brother committed suicide, but they didn't even see the body." My father and I didn't believe it, and we waited all night in the rain to see my brother's remains, only to get a burned, tiresome apology. ”
"I want to understand why Tingxiong was assassinated. I asked suddenly.
Tingxiong stared at me with wide eyes, meaning not to ask.
"I asked him to go to the school archives and search for a document. ”
"What information?" I asked
"For the information on the Land of the Living Dead, I asked him to change the date before we can get here. ”
"How did that Pavilion bear get hurt?" I pressed forward.
Zijun didn't want to answer, like a child who did something wrong, buried his head under his arm.
"No, why are you asking so much!" Tingxiong yelled at me.
"I just want to figure out why my friend was assassinated, and I don't want to be a fool who was deceived. "I roared.
"I'll answer you," said Tingxiong, "if you really want to know." There were two beasts in the archive, a sky-eyed cow and a unicorn. I've never seen anything so horrible. I was like a fly in front of them. ”
"They make swords," I asked coldly.
"It's the horn of a unicorn," Teikuma replied.
I pulled down the felt blanket that Zijun was wrapping: "Zijun, tell me you know that there is that monster." ”
"I know," she said.
"Then you still let him go"
"I volunteered," Tingxiong growled.
I looked at the angry face of the pavilion bear, and I thought I was nosy. I sighed and leaned behind me.
"I don't care about your business. ”
"It's late at night, go to bed early," Zhao Pu's voice sounded.
The only thing that was quiet in the trunk was the gasp of anger.
After a while, everyone fell asleep. The trunk shook suddenly. We didn't know why, and we each looked at each other.
"What is the sound?" Zijun asked.
I shook my head. Suddenly, a tremendous impact sent the car into the air. The car rolled like a matchbox being thrown into the air, and through the rotating window, we saw an awl-row monster more than five meters long, with a mouth full of teeth like a chrysanthemum, and armor all over its body.
"It's a sandworm, everyone get out of here," Tingxiong shouted. Yet the car rolled in the sky. I picked up Zijun and quickly opened the car door. The sandworm bit at our buggy. I kicked my back foot and used my strength to get out of the car. Tingxiong and Zhao Pu also came out of the car at this time. The off-road vehicle became a pile of iron filings under the sharp teeth of sandworms.
I had heard of sandworms before I came, but I only said that they appeared in the desert, but I didn't expect them to be in the Gobi.
The sandworm was wrying its tail and rushing at us. Zhao Pu told us to get out of the way, stood up, and punched the sandworm in the heart, and the sandworm was knocked 4.123 meters away. After rolling on the ground a few times, he stopped breathing.
When we examined the carcass of the sandworm, we found that it was a pregnant female sandworm, probably because she was really hungry, so she came to the Gobi with hard soil to feed.
