They didn't walk for long, but this time it was Miuxiang who stopped first.
"Can't walk?" It was an ordinary question, but Chu Xiangyun was forced to say it in a rhetorical tone.
Taking advantage of the fact that Chu Xiangyun couldn't see him, Miuxiang gritted his teeth angrily and made a gesture of knocking Chu Xiangyun on the head. Seeing that she didn't notice, he took back his hand angrily and sighed.
"No..." His tone was a little weak, "It's already dark, let's stop here and rest."
Even though he couldn't see it, Chu Xiangyun still subconsciously raised his head. After realizing it, his tone was obviously disappointed, "I understand."
Miuxiang led Chu Xiangyun to the wind shelter, helped her sit down, and said, "Our packages are all lost. I'm going to look for food and see if there is any water nearby."
Chu Xiangyun raised his eyebrows, his face full of distrust.
"...I won't go far!"
Without waiting for Chu Xiangyun to agree, Miuxiang chose a direction and strode away, leaving Chu Xiangyun sitting alone in the sand, holding his face in his hands and dazing.
I don't know how much time passed, it seemed like almost an hour, but Miuxiang still hadn't come back. Chu Xiangyun finally changed his posture and lay on his back on the ground dejectedly.
"well……"
Finally left.
Chu Xiangyun stared at the night sky with her eyes open and stretched out her hand to trace the outline of the flow of spiritual power. Although she could not see the beautiful stars at this time, this exquisite spiritual power structure was enough to fascinate her.
Pretending not to be able to see even though she could see... This was a novel experience for her.
In fact, Chu Xiangyun didn't notice any problem at first. At that time, she had really exhausted her spiritual power and couldn't feel anything.
That person's voice, tone, and attitude all reveal his identity without a doubt, but once you get to know him or her, you'll find that there's a sense of inconsistency everywhere.
The first is Chu Xiangyun’s first test——
"I really didn't expect you to survive." And you were unscathed.
In fact, this was something that Chu Xiangyun had been concerned about from the beginning. She began to think about this matter when she discovered that Miuxiang's bodyguard was covered in scars, while Miuxiang only had damaged clothes.
However, this doubt was solved after Chu Xiangyun was attacked by the giant white-scaled beast.
At that time, she was clearly knocked to the ground from the boulder by the claws of the white-scaled beast, but she was surprisingly unscathed.
There is no doubt that the reason for all this is the token that was warming slightly in her pocket at that time.
If the token is a defensive weapon, all doubts will be solved. At the same time, this can also explain why Miuxiang knows that there is something on his body that attracts the white-scaled beast to attack, but he can't discard the object.
Because it is his life-saving tool.
Originally, Chu Xiangyun thought that the token was the reason why Miuxiang needed to go to Jinsha City, but now it seems that there is something else. And the person who pretended to be Miuxiang before... is probably the "big question" of this exam.
.
The other party should be the one who manipulated the white-scaled beast, and he should also be the one who tampered with Miuxian's token.
After controlling the giant white-scaled beast to attack them, he chased the token, but he didn't expect that the token was not on Miuxiang at this time.
After that, there was a round of testing between the two sides. After confirming that Chu Xiangyun didn't know the exact location, the other party abandoned Chu Xiangyun in the desert without hesitation.
However, for a person like this, it was considered a mercy not to kill Chu Xiangyun and silence him. Chu Xiangyun guessed that this was probably a deliberate attempt to let the exam go.
Just now...
Chu Xiangyun sighed helplessly.
It was obviously an escort mission...but she lost the escort character.

the other side.
"I'll hold it back for a while, and you run there. We're not far from Jinsha City. You can get there as long as you keep running." Shi Zhuqing spat out a mouthful of blood, which was what she had blocked in front of Miuxiang before.
the injuries suffered.
When she didn't get a response, Shi Zhuqing glanced at the person next to her, "Did you hear that?"
However, Miuxiang gritted his teeth and did not look at her. As if he had made a lot of determination, he hit his heart with a hard palm. Under Shi Zhuqing's shocked eyes, he put his hand into it and took out a blood-stained piece of paper.
of paper comes.
What is surprising is that after the self-injury, his complexion recovered a little and was not as weak as before.
He handed the paper into Shi Zhuqing's hand, and for the first time he completely met her eyes, instead of dodging like before. Only then did Shi Zhuqing realize that the person in front of him didn't seem to be very old, and there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.
With a clear student spirit.
"Send it to Jinsha City, as long as it can be handed over to the Zhining Division there, I beg you."
Shi Zhuqing was stunned. She opened her mouth to speak, but was unable to form any words.
"And..." Miuxiang hesitated for a moment, but then made up his mind, "Be careful about a person named Lian Wenying."
After saying that, Miuxiang ran in the opposite direction of Jinsha City. The huge white-scaled beast followed closely behind him, raising a cloud of sand and dust that obscured Shi Zhuqing's eyes.
Shi Zhuqing clenched the dimmed Qianhe Seal in her hand, and her thoughts were confused.
For the first time, she hated her own powerlessness.
After another distant look, Shi Zhuqing ran towards Jinsha City.
*
Anyway, let’s head towards Jinsha City first.
Chu Xiangyun stood up, patted the sand on his body, identified the direction, and walked forward.
That person probably did it on purpose. The direction he took Chu Xiangyun was indeed the direction of Jinsha City. He might have thought that he might meet Miuxiang on the way, but he didn't know whether it was bad luck or Miuxiang was hiding, and he found nothing on the way.
Chu Xiangyun has not yet been judged to have finished the exam, which means that Miuxiang is most likely still alive, but at the same time, he should not have arrived at Jinsha City yet and is still on the way.
on the way.
This is not a good thing in the vast desert.
At present, Chu Xiangyun's hands are almost empty. There is no food, drinking water, or mission items. Fortunately, the quality of her weapons is still first-class, and it is still in her hands at this time.
In surviving in the wild, patience is the first lesson Chu Xiangyun learns, and it is no different in the desert.
Even though her mouth was thirsty and her belly was empty, Chu Xiangyun still kept walking. She was worried that another accident would happen to Miuxiang.
Fate did not favor Chu Xiangyun too much. After walking all night, Chu Xiangyun arrived at Jinsha City. After asking around, no one had seen any figure similar to Wu Xiang.
Hasn't he arrived yet?
Chu Xiangyun stood on the sandstone above the city gate, constantly patrolling the distance, hoping to find the familiar spiritual power fluctuations. Passers-by could not help but look at her when they passed by.
"Little girl, drink some water." A policeman patrolling the roadside walked up to Chu Xiangyun and handed her the unopened water bottle.
Chu Xiangyun did not refuse, took the water bottle and thanked the other party.
"Are you waiting for someone? How big is the sun? Why don't you go to the police station and wait? We'll keep an eye on it for you while we patrol, okay?"
Seeing that she had taken the water bottle, the kind-hearted policeman continued to persuade her.
In fact, a group of them had been observing Chu Xiangyun for some time. After discussing it, they were still uneasy, so a group of them pushed him over to ask.
"Thank you." Chu Xiangyun nodded and thanked him accurately, while saying with some trouble: "I'm worried that he can't find me..."
"Have you seen the man I'm looking for? He's about this tall." Chu Xiangyun gestured, "He looks like a very young man, and his clothes are a little tattered..."
"Is that that person?" The policeman suddenly interrupted Chu Xiangyun and pointed into the distance.
Chu Xiangyun immediately turned her head, and sure enough she saw the spiritual power fluctuation that impressed her so much. Before she could run over, the other party saw her standing in a high place and was extremely conspicuous, and hurried over.
"are you OK?"
The same words collided, and the two of them smiled at the same time.
Seeing this, the police were relieved and left quietly.
Before Chu Xiangyun could continue to ask about Mioxiang's experience, he saw that he handed her something first, which turned out to be her lost eyepatch.
Chu Xiangyun was a little surprised when he took it and tied it up. He raised his eyes to look at Miuxiang again, only to find that he was covered in injuries. His white clothes were almost turning into earth color, and the clothes that were only slightly damaged were almost turned into strips of cloth.
, completely different from before.
Remembering that he seemed to have taken away the opponent's defensive weapon and threw it to a few white-scaled beasts, Chu Xiangyun couldn't help but feel guilty.
Fortunately, Miuxiang didn't seem to care. He probably had finally arrived at Jinsha City. He looked more relaxed and relaxed than ever before. It was the first time that Chu Xiangyun saw him speaking in such an excited tone.
"Thank you, Xiao Chu!" Seeing that he was so excited that he even choked up, Chu Xiangyun quickly handed him the water bottle in his hand, and Miuxiang took it and drank it, taking a breath before continuing to speak.
"Thanks to you, I finally arrived at Jinsha City!"
Miuxiang said, while looking at the city name engraved on the city gate, there seemed to be a little tears in the corners of his eyes.
"It doesn't matter..." Faced with such enthusiasm, Chu Xiangyun was a little at a loss and his voice lowered.
In order to ease the emotional embarrassment, Chu Xiangyun changed the subject, "Why did you come so late? I thought you would have arrived early."
"Ah..." Miuxiang turned his head, and instead of looking at Chu Xiangyun, his ears turned red first. This look made Chu Xiangyun familiar and he felt relaxed.
"What's wrong?" she asked in a rare gentle tone.
"I'm looking for you." As he narrated, Chu Xiangyun's eyes hidden under the cloth belt suddenly widened, "I'm sorry, I only saw the body of the white-scaled beast when I arrived. I thought you might
They came to find me. I was worried that if I looked back we might miss it again, so I had to keep walking towards Jinsha City, maybe because it wasted time..."
Chu Xiangyun was speechless for a long time.
She never thought... that Miuxiang would come back to look for her.
Between risking his life to find someone he knew a short time ago and going to Jinsha City to complete his mission, the other party actually chose the former.
Rather than saying that this is the logical setting of the game NPC, Chu Xiangyun is more willing to believe that the person standing in front of her at this moment is a living person.
Chu Xiangyun looked at Mi Xiang who was still confused in front of him and didn't know if he had said the wrong thing. He took off the blindfold he had just put on and traced the flow of spiritual power of the person in front of him bit by bit from the beginning. Then he turned around to observe.
All the people walking in a hurry in this city.
no the same.
totally different.
Chu Xiangyun's mind went blank, and he even forgot where he was at this moment.
It wasn't until the scene in front of him began to collapse, the spiritual energy all over the sky turned into light spots and scattered, and Miuxian's body quickly shrunk until it disappeared, that Chu Xiangyun came back to his senses and tried to step forward to catch him, but to no avail.
"wait--"
The illusion ended so quickly that Chu Xiangyun found himself back in reality before he even finished speaking.
