Chapter 68: Divide and Eat
"He's been lucky. ”
On the viewing platform, Gu Xichun spoke slowly.
It's noon.
Under the gaze of all the people watching the ceremony, Ding Ning, who was at the end, finally entered the area marked by the four wolf smokes.
At the moment when he was sure that he had entered the marked area, Ding Ning sat on the ground without caring about his image, unloaded the strip of meat he was carrying, and then leaned against a small tree, panting violently.
The sweat that poured from his skin soaked his clothes in an instant.
This time, Gu Xichun thought that his words were also fair, because even if he encountered one or two more of these armored lizards along the way, Ding Ning should not be able to arrive in time and be eliminated.
However, the moment he said this, he felt that the eyes around him were a little inexplicably cold.
He frowned slightly, and quickly figured out why the people around him had such emotions, but he only sneered in his heart.
The efforts of the weak and not giving up can indeed be exchanged for the appreciation and sympathy of many people, but unfortunately often the final result will not change much.
Only one-third of the people in the Aries Cave and the Qingteng Sword Academy managed to reach the designated area at this time, and two-thirds of the people were eliminated at the entrance of the Sword Sacrifice Canyon to this section of the road, which in his opinion, the overall strength of the Aries Cave and the Qingteng Sword Academy was too weak compared to their Shadow Mountain Sword Cave.
Xue Wangxu was sitting on a cushioned rattan chair on the edge of the viewing platform on one side at the moment, his eyes half-open and half-closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.
If he could know what Gu Xichun was thinking at this moment, he would definitely oppose it.
Because the strength of a sect is definitely not determined by the number of cultivators in the third, fourth, or even fifth realms, but is always determined by the cultivators at the top of that sect.
Sometimes one is enough for a truly strong person.
In the cold autumn wind, sweaty heavy shirts are more likely to consume physical strength, especially prone to illness.
But Ding Ning's performance still made the vast majority of people on the viewing platform respect.
After a sharp gasp, he began to try to make a fire.
He prepared enough dry dead leaves and branches, crumpled a ball of hay into a flocculent shape, and struck a puff of sparks directly on the stone with the sword in his hand.
After igniting the flocculent hay, he kept blowing, and in just a few breaths, the fire burned vigorously.
When the fire burns strongly, it is warm enough, and there is almost no smoke rising.
After cutting off a few green vines, he took off his soaked robe and picked it up to roast it, while he forked the two strips of meat that seemed heavy to him on the fire.
Some of the handymen of the Qingteng Sword Academy had also prepared meals at this time, and one by one the rattan tilan containing many food boxes were placed on the mountain road near the viewing platform, and at this time, the picture in the Sword Sacrifice Canyon also began to appear calm, and many students even began to hide and rest to replenish their strength. Originally, many students had already thought of going to eat, but at this moment, several exclamations rang out, so all the people who were about to walk through the Fujibashi to the mountain path stopped.
Near one of the wolf smokes, two figures are about to meet.
And both of them are likely to win in the end.
One of them was long and handsome, and he was Su Qin of Aries Cave.
The other person was of ordinary stature, but there was no trace of fat on his body, and he was full of an indescribable sense of power between his actions, which was He Chaoxi, who had slashed the armored lizard with two swords before.
Both of them were on each other's paths, separated by only a wood, and neither of them seemed to have any intention of stopping to rest.
When two people meet like this, who will be killed?
The breathing of everyone on the viewing platform couldn't help but become slightly heavier.
......
The bushes in front of him that obscured the line of sight became more and more sparse, He Chaoxi and Su Qin saw each other at the same time, and the two stopped at the same time at a distance of more than ten zhang.
Su Qinjian's eyebrows frowned slightly, his face did not change, and his right hand slowly fell on the hilt of the sword on his waist, but his knuckles were slightly white.
He Chaoxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly pulled out the withered yellow long sword on his back, but in the next moment, what made Su Qin and everyone on the viewing platform shrink their eyes was that he was not ready to make a move, but cut off a piece of the flesh of the armored lizard.
Like Ding Ning, he also takes meat from the back of an armored lizard, but his physical strength is much stronger than Ding Ning's, so the amount of meat he cuts is twice as much as Ding Ning's.
After entering this area, he hadn't lit a fire yet, so the meat that was also behind him was still raw meat, and the piece cut off at the moment was still stained with blood.
"I know you, you are Su Qin, and your cultivation should also be above the middle grade of the Three Realms. ”
After watching Su Qin say this sentence coldly, he directly put this piece of raw meat, which was half the size of a fist and was still dripping with blood, into his mouth, and began to chew and swallow hard.
"What is he doing here?"
Such an action made many people on the viewing platform gasp, Xie Changsheng turned his head to look at Xu Heshan and Xie Rou with a pale face and asked, thinking about the appearance of those armored lizards just now, he felt sick to his stomach for a while.
Xie Rou and Xu Heshan both shook their heads.
With He Tianxi's temperament, he must not want to use this method to disgust or intimidate the opponent.
Su Qin's eyes also became sharper, he looked at He Chaoxi, who was eating raw meat, and said sarcastically: "I know that there is a way for cultivators to digest it well even if they swallow a large amount of raw meat, and they will not get sick, that is, strenuous exercise, continuous vigorous exercise, to make the five qi in the body extremely vigorous, to make the activities of the five internal organs stronger, and to make their body temperature rise... It's just that even if you have such thoughts, you think that you want to fight me, and then think of eating meat after seeing me, do you think I will have the patience to wait for you to eat all this meat?"
He Chaoxi continued to cut meat piece by piece, eating meat piece by piece, and said at the same time: "Compared with you now directly deciding the winner, I think you can have a better choice." ”
Su Qin sneered, "What's a better choice?"
"I don't want to waste time, the less time I spend in the first five realms, it means that there will be more time in the future that can be used to break through the realm after the fifth realm, it's just a trial, I don't want to spend too much time here. He Chaoxi said calmly: "If it's just something that can be solved in a day or two, why wait until the third day?"
Su Qin was slightly stunned, he thought of a possibility.
He Chaoxi looked at him, and then said: "Two lions hunt sheep much faster than one lion catches sheep. ”
Su Qin's eyebrows were still raised, and the coldness in his eyes was unabated, but a smile appeared on his face.
"So your proposal is that we come hunting together?" he said as he looked at He Chaoxi with great interest.
"I don't know how much is left before dark..."He Chaoxi continued to eat raw meat, "Or you and I will fight it out now." ”
The corners of Su Qin's mouth curled up slightly, and he glanced upward, "I will accept your proposal, because I don't have much patience either, and I don't like to let people watch like a monkey show." ”
He Chaoxi looked at the grove in front of him, nodded, and said, "Take this as a boundary?"
Su Qin said lightly: "Take this as the boundary." ”
He Chaoxi didn't say anything more, he still ate the meat in a big gulp, as if he was going to eat the raw meat all at once, and at the same time he turned around and started running.
Su Qin also turned around and began to move forward without hurrying.
"What the hell are they doing?" Xie Changsheng asked with a cold face.
Even from such a distance, he could see that He Chaoxi's running at this time was not because he was afraid of Su Qin, but because of what agreement the two had reached in the conversation just now.
"Divide and eat. ”
Xu Heshan took a deep breath, looked at Xie Changsheng and said slowly.
Xie Changsheng was stunned, and he also reacted.
Indeed, if you can capture all the rest of your competitors directly in this circle, this kind of trial can be directly over, and it will not take three days at all.
"It's just as dangerous. He said with an ugly face: "If you continue to fight, your state will not be good, and you may even be injured, and you will be defeated in the hands of people who are not as good as you." ”
Xu Heshan nodded, glanced at him, and said softly: "What you said is good, but Su Qin is proud, and He Chaoxi is confident." ”
Xie Changsheng took a deep breath.
It stands to reason that Su Qin and He Chaoxi's choice has nothing to do with him, and even the next dull and boring time will be greatly reduced, but I don't know when he started, he has begun to hope that Ding Ning will go further, and deep down he even hopes that Ding Ning will win in the end.
......
An Aries Cave student who was picking golden oranges from a wild orange tree suddenly sensed something, and rushed forward with an arrow and flashed to the back of the orange tree.
Seeing the person who appeared in the field of vision, his expression was slightly relaxed, and he subconsciously shouted softly: "Senior Brother Su Qin." ”
However, in the next moment, he saw Su Qin's hand holding the hilt of the sword, and his face suddenly froze.
"Even if it is a just trial, there must also be a fair competition between fellow disciples. ”
"I'm sorry. ”
After Su Qin said these two sentences, he took out his sword.
There was a soft snort.
The mist in front of him was shaken away, and a bright passage appeared.
A purple sword light leaped out of his left sleeve.
He was different from ordinary cultivators, he was a left-handed sword.
His sword was long, a foot longer than a normal longsword, and his sword could be soft with purple flames all over it.
When this sword light stabbed straight in front of the Aries Cave student, the Aries Cave student was shocked to take out his sword, and a sword rung, blocking this sword light.
However, this sword light suddenly bent, and the soft sword body circled out in a semicircle, and with a pop, it slapped on the neck of the Aries Cave student.
The Aries Cave student took a few steps back and instantly fainted to the ground.
Su Qin apologized, took off the two pieces of the order hanging from the waist of the Aries Cave student, and continued to walk.
At the same time.
In another place, there was a muffled thunderous explosion, and a circle of visible annular air waves spread outward, as if the space had been smashed out of a passage.
A figure flew backwards miserably, slamming into the vine wall behind it, unable to get up again.
And directly opposite him, after the diffuse annular air wave, He Chaoxi retracted his sword with his backhand, and then continued to run wildly.
He had chewed and swallowed all the raw meat he had been carrying.
At this moment, his abdomen bulged high, and under his wild running, there was even a sound like a toad chirping between his stomach.
