Chapter 56 Falling from a Cliff

Sakae was sent away, and in order to relieve the pressure of the students' training, he personally took the students out for an outing as an excuse to kill and seize treasures. This was what Dori was thinking about. More than an hour later, Dori announced the order to set off the outing for the first-year students in the classroom, "Let's go now!" As soon as this statement was made, Wuqi, Croyd and a dozen other students in the class walked out of the school gate amidst a burst of laughter. No one knew that their outing this time was actually a journey of death for someone.

A few hours later, a group of people stood on the top of a hill in the forest to the west of the Fighting Academy. An old man with green hair and kind faces and a dozen children wearing various leisurely costumes. These children were only about seven or eight years old, and the oldest was less than 16 years old. This hill was the destination of Wuqi and Croyd's outings, and a very interesting phenomenon appeared on the top of the mountain. The principal Dori, who was the leader this time, stood alone in front of a cliff and looked into the distance, with complex and difficult-to-understand colors in his eyes, while the dozen students behind him gathered together as if they had seen something new.

More than a dozen children gathered together to form a small circle, which wrapped Wuqi and Croyd in it, but the two of them surrounded it did not feel any pressure, but instead liked the feeling of being noticed.

There was a white paper with lattice painted between the two. In addition to small squares after lattice, there were some rivers on the paper, which was a simple chess board. However, the wooden chess pieces were very distinctive, and there were no inscribed words on it, but were drawn with one animal-shaped pattern after another, including cats, dogs, tigers, leopards, lions, and even elephants and rats. This ancient beast-fighting chessboard was a strange backpack thing. This was the toy he brought out from Wushan’s master Wolson. Before leaving Wushan, when he could not find Wolson, he could only play with himself, and the thing he played was this beast-fighting chess. This was the most vivid, simple and most suitable chess game for children.

Croyd naturally played beast fighting chess, but he never thought that his chess skills would be defeated by Wuqi. After losing to the opponent in three games, he finally couldn't accept the fact that he lost and challenged Wuqi again. This time he bet on his dignity and threatened to defeat the opponent. His bold words naturally attracted the attention of more than a dozen other students, which led to the scene where they were watched by these dozen students.

Compared to Croyd's forehead, the cold sweat was more obvious, Wuqi's face was full of energy and a smile. After he made a move without hesitation, he sighed in regret and murmured: "Hey... squad leader! I think you should give up. Your tiger, lion and leopard have been eaten by me. Do you still want to win?"

"Stop!" Croyd frowned, and glared at Wuqi with displeasure, and said angrily: "You are not much better than me. Elephants, lions, tigers and leopards are all dead, even dogs and cats are dead, and I still want to win? I still have an elephant!"

After saying that, he looked at the chessboard solemnly and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he slowly took the only general in his hand, the elephant, one step forward. Seeing the other party's stubborn temper that even 10 horses could not be pulled back, Wuqi had to shake his head and sigh, then stopped talking and focused on playing chess.

Half an hour later, when Wuqi landed the mouse in his hand on the head of Croyd's elephant and ate the most lethal general in the beast fighting chess, Croyd's face suddenly changed. He picked up the mouse that had eaten his elephant and threw it away from the crowd. He complained repeatedly: "You are cheating! How can this mouse eat the elephant! There is obviously a problem with this rule. There should not be mice, the elephant is invincible."

As soon as this said, Wuqi was stunned. He had never thought about why a mouse could eat an elephant. But he thought about it again that since the rule had been decided, he had to abide by it. When he was about to lose, he complained that the rule was wrong. Isn’t this obvious cheating! His idea was also the common idea in the minds of the more than a dozen students who were watching them. However, just as they were about to point fingers at Croyd’s cheating behavior and comment on it, a small bald head squeezed into the crowd. He only heard a serious expression of his index finger, pointed at Wuqi and pointed behind him, and said softly: “Wuqi! The principal is looking for you.”

"Oh." Even though he was a little reluctant, he was still aware that there would be no result when he argued with Croyd without any reason. He smiled slightly at Croyd, who had a stiff face, left the crowd and came to Dori.

"Oh! It's Wuqi! You're here!" When Dori saw Wuqi, the complicated expression in his eyes disappeared immediately, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, Master Principal. Are you asking me for anything?" Wuqi asked with his head down and respectfully.

"It's nothing big. I just want you to do me a little favor. Look." After Dori smiled faintly, he stretched out his index finger and pointed at a small pink flower growing on the edge of the cliff in front of him. "That flower is a good herb. I need it to treat a friend of mine. But I'm old, look, this flower grows on the edge of the cliff and I can't move..."

Speaking of this, Duoli suddenly stopped talking and coughed twice on purpose. Wuqi knew what the other party meant at a glance. He had no motivation to practice, nor did he make progress, but it did not mean that his head was stupid. Compared to his physique that was weaker than ordinary people, Wuqi's head was much smarter. Of course, half of the credit was also attributed to Qingchengzi's enlightenment before his death and passed on the spiritual wisdom he realized to Wuqi's relationship. Otherwise, this child born from the body of the lowest-level rat monster in the Lanfa Continent would not have such a high IQ.

The foundation of helping others and being happy is the principle that Master Wolson has taught him since he was a child. Wuqi remembered this deeply. Although the place where the little flower is located is against the cliff, the road leading to the little flower is also extremely narrow, but at this width, Wuqi is confident that as long as he is careful enough, there will be no danger. Therefore, without any hesitation, he agreed and patted heavily on his chest, smiled confidently and said, "Sir, please leave it to me. You just need to watch here, I will pick it for you immediately."

"Thank you then!" Dori looked at Wuqi gratefully, but when the other party turned around and slowly walked towards the cliff where Xiaohua was, one corner of his mouth was inadvertently raised slightly, and a narrow curve was drawn on the wrinkled face, and a cold gaze suddenly appeared in his eyes.

It is a lie to say that he is not afraid. Picking a small flower on the edge of the cliff that is thousands of meters high, let alone Wuqi, even an adult will feel frightened, let alone he is just a child. However, Wuqi did it. Even though his pants were wet before he came to Xiaohua, he gritted his teeth and kept it in a hurry and screamed out without making him scared. When he picked the pink flower with his own hands, Wuqi felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and accomplishment for the first time. He had a feeling that he seemed to have done something big. As long as he returned to Dori safely and handed the flower to the other party, he would be sought after and respected by all his classmates, and even Croyd would look at him with admiration.

But unfortunately, he no longer had this opportunity. While Wuqi was immersed in his fantasy, Dori's right hand suddenly slammed into the front like a fan. Wuqi felt a gust of wind suddenly blowing behind him, breaking the balance that he had finally maintained. He felt his heart sink suddenly, and his eyes suddenly dropped, and he fell rapidly under the cliff covered by white clouds like a rock that fell to the ground.

Seeing Wuqi fall off the cliff with his own eyes, Dori's heart finally fell down safely. After breathing a sigh of relief, he turned around with a kind face to look at Croyd and others with a look of horror in his eyes and said with a smile: "Children, it's time for us to go back. Let's just end today's outing. Wuqi accidentally fell off the cliff because of playing tricks. It's not to blame others. Okay, everyone, pack their luggage."

Children are children. When they heard that the outing was over, their little face, which was so scared that they saw Wuqi suddenly fall off the cliff, became dissatisfied at the same time, "Sir, I'm going back after playing for a while? Can you play for a while?"

"No." Dori naturally would not agree to the children stay for a long time. It was not that he really didn't want to, but that he had other plans to let the children return to school earlier. Wouldn't he be able to return to the cliff here earlier and get the Ancient Scrolls that have become a masterpiece?

After some complaints, even if the children were unwilling to carry their luggage and headed towards the road down the mountain. Only Croyd was silent. Before leaving, he looked at the cliff where Wuqi fell seriously, thinking about it. He did not believe Dori's explanation just now. After being with Wuqi for so long, he knew better than Dori. He was a coward who was afraid of things, but he was very enthusiastic. It was impossible to let him go to that dangerous place unless he helped others.
