On the second day, when Xiao He, the Dugu brothers and sisters, and Su Lanyue came to participate in the Tianyuan Academy test, it was already evening. He saw Xiao He, the Dugu brothers and sisters, Su Lanyue and other influential figures in the Thirty-Six Cave Heaven among the crowd.
From time to time, people would say hello. Dugu Huntian was as kind as usual and always smiled in front of everyone. Dugu Yixue was still cold and cold. But Su Lanyue, she ignored other people's overtures and did not treat Xiao He at all.
There was enthusiasm there, but she just stood up tall and proud under the attention of everyone. Xiao He, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable being paid attention to by so many people. Dugu Huntian looked at Xiao He's bewildered look and said with a smile: "How is it?
, you brother Xiao He, with a jar of strong wine and a pair of couplets, you have already made a name for yourself in Thirty-Six Cave Heaven!"
As for Xiao He, even before he arrived at Tianyuan Academy, he could already feel the specialness of Tianyuan Academy just here.
What appeared in front of everyone was a tall but simple wooden door. Traces of years eroded by wind and rain could be seen everywhere. The shape of the wooden door was ordinary. It looked like an archway on a street in the city. And above the archway, stood
A young child, with his back to the setting sun, was looking at the crowd in front of him. A crowd of hundreds of people were waiting for the child to speak.
The child looked to be only six or seven years old. He had no stage fright when being watched by so many people. He tilted his head, with a childish look on his face, and said in a childish voice: "Brothers and sisters, since we are here, please stretch your muscles first."
, after passing the forest in front of you, you will reach the main entrance of Tianyuan Academy. At dawn tomorrow, junior brother will be waiting for you there!"
After the child finished speaking, he climbed a little clumsily onto a white crane that was taller than him, turned around and left in the direction of the sunset.
Among the crowd, there were many outstanding people, and some people still praised: "If even a child with a yellow mouth can reach out like this, what about the other people in Tianyuan Academy?"
"It seems I won't need to make this trip!" Someone else said excitedly.
At this time, a person walked up from behind him and said as he walked: "Wait until you pass the forest in front of you before you say anything like this!"
The man was hit by a basin of cold water and looked embarrassed, but he still wanted to say harshly: "I have been traveling in the cave for several years, how come I can't get through such a small forest?"
After hearing this, the man was still very disdainful. He carried a black iron sword on his back and continued walking forward without looking back. From the beginning to the end, he never looked at anyone in the eyes.
This arrogant person was none other than Leng Xing. Xiao He had already thought about the fact that he would come to take the Tianyuan Academy exam, but he did not expect that he would come alone.
Everyone looked at Leng Xing's back, and there were still many whispers in the crowd. Xiao He and Dugu Huntian were not so bored. They also walked forward together after Leng Xing. After Dugu Huntian and Xiao He, the crowd also slowed down.
They started moving slowly, passing through the wooden door in twos and threes and walking into the dense forest.
This dense forest is extremely vast. After entering the dense forest, there is no accompanying team and almost no other people can be seen. This also adds a bit of mystery and fear to this place.
"What are your thoughts?" Dugu Huntian asked with a smile as he walked.
Xiao He answered truthfully: "Whether it was that day at Feilai Peak or the subsequent trip to the ruins, it made me feel like there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. But today, these cave heaven leaders..."
Dugu Huntian couldn't help but laugh and said: "You must have discovered that you are just a fake person!"
"Why is this happening?" Xiao He asked.
Dugu Huntian replied: "Tianyuan Academy has always recruited a hundred disciples from the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens to participate in the test. With such a quota, it is inevitable that some unlearned and unskilled young sect masters will be sent in."
After hearing this, Xiao He also smiled bitterly and said: "How come a sect of such a level has such a thing."
Dugu Huntian replied: "As long as there are people, there will be such things."
Xiao He was helpless, but thought in his heart, Tianyuan Academy is an extraordinary place, why bother to be the butt of laughter?
Su Lanyue, however, had no intention of thinking about the issues they were discussing. She jumped up and down along the way, just admiring the beautiful scenery in the forest. From time to time, she would wink at Xiao He and ask Xiao He to come to her.
Go. Dugu Yixue just stayed with her brother, neither surprised nor happy.
Xiao He looked up at Su Lanyue standing on the tree trunk and said, "I advise you to save some strength and prepare to accept the test of Tianyuan Academy!"
After hearing this, Su Lanyue became serious. She came to Xiao He with a row of pink shadows, put her face as close as possible, looked into Xiao He's eyes and asked, "When will the test start?"
Xiao He took two steps back and avoided Su Lanyue in embarrassment.
Dugu Huntian on the side, expressionless, answered for Xiao He: "It has already begun."
"What do you mean?" Su Lanyue didn't know what to say and said doubtfully.
Dugu Huntian was asked by the very nervous Su Lanyue but was too lazy to explain. Dugu Yixue stepped forward and said softly: "Senior Sister Lanyue, this forest will be part of the assessment!"
"Oh!" Su Lanyue's eyes widened, as if that was the case.
"Don't you think the scenery here is better now?" Xiao He said with a smile.
"Not necessarily! As long as you are here, I still think the scenery here is very..." Su Lanyue came closer to Xiao He. Before the word "beautiful" could be said, Xiao He blocked his mouth with his index finger and was pressed down by Xiao He.
They squatted down together with their shoulders, and Dugu Huntian and Dugu Yixue behind them also stood behind the tree very alertly.
Not far ahead, a short-haired man was fighting two monsters. He was alone, holding two swords, fighting against two golden-backed giant apes, and was almost exhausted.
"Do we need help?" Su Lanyue whispered.
Xiao He did not answer, and turned back to look at Dugu Huntian. Dugu Huntian said: "It's useless for us to help him. He is destined to stop in this forest. I think this is why Tianyuan Academy faces many disciples who want to join.
Find a way to remove the rust! There are bound to be some people who are just trying to be eliminated here."
As soon as Dugu Huntian finished speaking, the man finally lost his strength and fell to the ground under the crazy attacks of the two golden-backed giant apes. If he was attacked twice more by the giant apes, he would either die or die.
residual.
"It's time for us to take action!" Xiao He said, and he used the Taiyi Dragon Sword to fly behind the two giant apes. The flying sword was light, but he didn't expect that the golden back of this beast was so hard. Two sparks flashed, too
The Yiyu Dragon Sword only left two white marks on the giant ape's back.
However, Xiao He's two attacks were enough to attract the attention of the golden-backed giant ape.
As expected, the two tall animals ignored the dying young man lying on the ground and turned to look at Xiao He. They glared angrily with a pair of red eyes and violently beat their chests with their fists. They looked very angry with Xiao He.
The two giant apes screamed a few times, and they were about to rush towards Xiao He. Xiao He was about to greet him with his sword, but there was a pink figure floating in front of him. It was Su Lanyue, with her orchid fingers folded and offering sacrifices.
When two peach blossom formations were created, the two magical beasts under control were immediately unable to move.
Seeing this, Xiao He did not give the two beasts any time to react, injecting twelve points of true energy into the Taiyi Dragon Sword, and used another Tai Chi sword move, leaving a shallow line on the throats of the two giant apes.
The two giant apes paused for a few seconds. After Su Lanyue withdrew the magic circle, they fell backwards and were already dead.
"Junior brother Xiao He, it's great! The cooperation is tacit." Su Lanyue said with a wink at Xiao He.
"I also admire Senior Sister's magic circle!" After Xiao He finished speaking, he ran forward without waiting for Su Lanyue to rush towards him in all her glory.
Xiao He ran to the man's side and leaned over to check his injuries, with a look of regret on his face. He turned around and saw the Dugu brother and sister walking over.
Like Xiao He, Dugu Huntian also checked the man's injuries. He also shook his head with regret and said: "If there is a master who specializes in healing, he may be able to save him. With your and my abilities, I think there is nothing we can do to save him!"
What Dugu Huntian said was true. Xiao He also came to this conclusion after investigating, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, this person was right in front of him. Although he was a stranger, he still had a human life. If he could have arrived here earlier, maybe...
…
Seeing Xiao He's thoughts, Dugu Huntian patted Xiao He on the shoulder and said: "There is no way, not to mention this is the path he chose. Let's keep going. This is the edge of the forest. Let's
We need to save mana to deal with the unknown dangers ahead."
Xiao He also understood what Dugu Huntian said, and shook his head helplessly. Xiao He then stood up and walked deeper into the forest.
After the four people left, two men in civilian clothes jumped down from a high altitude, picked up the unconscious disciple on the ground, and left the place with a slight jump.
The deeper you go, the more you discover the vastness of this dense forest. There is no clearly visible road under your feet. In this forest, there is no concept of direction. Moreover, when Xiao He and others spread their spiritual consciousness, they found that their thoughts seemed to be blocked.
A more powerful thought suppressed it, which resulted in the range of what his spiritual consciousness could sense being extremely limited.
"If we keep going like this, when will we come to an end?" Su Lanyue said impatiently.
"Don't be impatient, senior sister." Xiao He said with a smile.
Su Lanyue put her ear next to Xiao He and whispered: "The night is slowly getting longer and you are by my side. How can I not be anxious, sister?"
Xiao He was shocked and took a few steps forward. He was really afraid of this bold senior sister.
Dugu Huntian looked at the two of them with a smile and continued to walk into the forest. The night was getting darker, and the dense branches could barely let in the moonlight. In the deep night, the group of people was blocked by a long river.
This long river is not as wide as the Juliu River, and you can see the end at a glance, but there is a yellow mist above the river, which makes people look away.
Finally here, we can vaguely see disciples from Thirty-Six Cave Heavens coming along the river bank. A hundred people who entered the forest, but when they got here, less than thirty people were left, and they all stopped here.
Everyone saw that this river was not simple. Under the suppression of the invisible will, everyone was unable to pass by with their swords. They had to hesitate in front of the mist-filled river. No one dared to enter the river rashly, because there were constant waves on the river.
The skeleton of the monster floating by had already well explained to everyone the special features of this river. However, with a "plop" sound, in the eyes of everyone's surprise, two people jumped into the river, one of them
The man with long flowing hair, white clothes and blue hair, avoids the river water, but the other one is a rough man with a broad heart and a fat body. His performance is even more shocking, because he is shirtless, in this "poisonous river"
Swimming happily in the middle, looking very comfortable and enjoying it.
Xiao He already knew the man with blue hair and white clothes. He must be Luo Jiang, and the other man was probably also a master of Shuiyue Cave.
"Let's cross the river too!" Dugu Huntian said, ignoring the others.
