This time's test questions didn't seem to be too difficult for the students. Chu Xiangyun looked up from the direction he came out and saw that there were just a few buildings standing in the distance. The houses in the distance were stacked on top of each other, about the size of a village.
Chu Xiangyun took out the bow and arrow from the package he was carrying and walked towards the village. At the same time, he thought to himself that although there were no rules to follow in the Lingxiao Mansion's exams, there was one thing that was recognized as an unspoken rule.
——The scene setting of the exam must be related to reality.
If Zhuqing is here, we should be able to make some guesses, right?
Unfortunately, there is no team mode for this exam.
As soon as he entered the village, Chu Xiangyun could feel the difference in the atmosphere. It was obviously a moment when the sun was shining brightly, but the village was deserted. Every house was closed, leaving only fresh blood stains on the street, which was so bright that it was scorching.
Chu Xiangyun silently tightened his hand on the bow and secretly increased his vigilance in his heart. On the surface, he maintained his usual light pace and approached the obvious "tip".
Until Chu Xiangyun reached the edge of the bloodstain, there was still no movement around him, but Chu Xiangyun could feel the prying eyes of the villagers, filled with vigilance and inexplicable intolerance.
In the center of the blood stain were two corpses.
The moment he saw the corpses clearly, Chu Xiangyun took two steps back without hesitation, used his spiritual power to transform an arrow, and pointed it firmly at one of the corpses. His smooth movements made the examiners who were invigilating the exam outside the venue shine.
.
"As expected of a child of the Chu family..."
The teacher who had read out the exam rules earlier nodded approvingly and couldn't help but look at the other exam rooms, twitching his lips and holding his forehead.
I saw a candidate who was shocked when he saw the corpse, but his first reaction was to take out his mobile phone from his pocket and try to call the police. It seemed that he was another candidate who didn't understand the difference between reality and fantasy - of course, he was speechless by the invigilator.
Ti slipped out of the examination room and was given a serious demerit and was not allowed to take the exam again for three years.
A little bit of a follower of the rules, but not like one.
Turning to the other side, a candidate was carefully observing the village architecture, and even tried to take off a piece with his hands to study the material. At the same time, he was also trying to guess the geographical location based on the land. It is a pity that this time the background of the village is completely fictitious. The key point is
Totally wrong.
The female teacher sighed and looked at Chen Wanjing, who was sitting next to him. He was looking at the screen and smiling calmly - Oh, if you look carefully, it turned out to be the little girl named Shi Zhuqing...
I heard that Chen Wanjing is not only Shi Zhuqing's teacher, but also her biological uncle. I think she will definitely have a fulfilling life after she comes out.
After looking around, the female teacher turned back to Chu Xiangyun.
At this time in the examination room, the "corpse" had stood up strangely, raised his hands in front of Chu Xiangyun, and shouted: "Please let me go!"
Chu Xiangyun did not speak, but she did not lose the momentum in the face of the adult man who was taller than herself. She raised her chin and motioned for him to introduce her identity.
"I..." the man blushed, "my name is Miuxiang."
Chu Xiangyun blinked and said nothing.
"I……"
An arrow pierced the air quickly and passed through Mou Xiang's hair, making him freeze and dare not move again.
Chu Xiangyun maintained his bow-stretching posture and gently tilted his head back, signaling the man to stay away.
However, before she finished her action, Wu Xiang quickly and skillfully ran behind her, not caring that there was anything wrong with letting a little girl take the lead.
Chu Xiangyun: "..."
Forget it, that's good, at least you don't need to worry about his life or death.
The visitors were not humans, but several white-scaled beasts. Their usually gentle bean eyes were now filled with red light, and they looked like they were being manipulated.
The white-scaled beast is an omnivore. Although it has excellent protective capabilities, its attack method is very simple. It curled up one by one and rolled towards Chu Xiangyun, kicking up a burst of sand and dust.
Others would be frightened and panicked, but Chu Xiangyun grew up in the mountains and forests and was quite experienced in dealing with such disobedient little animals.
I saw her flying dexterously, stepping onto the wooden box set up on the street, and then quickly jumped to the opposite side when the white-scaled beast came. The spiritual power attached to her feet lightly, and her body was forced to stay in the air for a few seconds. During this time,
It was enough for her to find the weak point exposed by the dizzy white-scaled beast.
After hitting the target with one hit, Chu Xiangyun had already reached the best shooting point that she had previously optimistic about. She raised her bow and fired again, forcing away several white-scaled beasts that were charging towards Miuxiang.
White-scaled beasts are very aware of current affairs. Examples of attacks on humans are extremely rare. The failure of the attack at this time also caused them to wake up instantly. The remaining three or two quickly gathered together and fled into the distance. Chu Xiangyunluo
I watched them go away from the ground without pursuing them.
Miuxiang, who had gone nowhere just now, suddenly appeared. He looked at Chu Xiangyun with sparkling eyes. He bent down and tried to hold Chu Xiangyun's hands, but was blocked by her bow and took them back awkwardly.
, looked at her a little nervously.
"……Please say."
"I wanted to say...can I hire you to take me somewhere?"
Ding--
Chu Xiangyun seemed to hear the prompt for the main mission.
"Well..." She looked thoughtful and wanted to agree directly, but suddenly remembered the tutoring content that Shi Zhuqing had asked her to do before.
"Where's the reward?"
"Eh?" Miuxiang looked at Chu Xiangyun with an unexpected expression.
Chu Xiangyun didn't say anything, but instead imitated him and made a puzzled expression, which made Miuxiang blush again——
He really loves to blush.
"...Can I transfer money from Lingxinbao?"
Chu Xiangyun nodded, reached into his bag, took out a blank piece of paper, and handed it out.
"IOU."
After a while, Chu Xiangyun flicked the IOU in his hand toward the sunshine with satisfaction, "Where are you going?"
If it weren't for her young age, her concise words and straightforward attitude would fit the image of a professional mercenary.
The red color climbed onto Miuxiang's face again, causing an ominous premonition to arise in Chu Xiangyun's heart——
"I hope you can take me through this desert to Golden Sand City."
*
"Golden Sand City."
Chu Xiangyun pointed to the small dot located on the upper left side of the map with his finger, and Mioxiang nodded aside.
Chu Xiangyun didn't move his fingers and turned his head to look into his eyes with a slightly serious expression. If Shi Zhuqing were here, he would definitely be able to tell that she was trying to imitate Chen Wanjing, "Can you point out our location on this map?
"
Miuxiang was infected by her attitude, and he couldn't help but correct his attitude. He approached Chu Xiangyun and pressed his finger on the lower right corner of the map, "I think it should be here."
Chu Xiangyun moved his hand away and saw those three small characters on the map——
By the river village.
These three words seemed a little unusually heavy at this time. Chu Xiangyun looked at the distance between the two points and felt dust and sand rushing towards her face. The sun was so intense that she wanted to lie on her back.
"Escort mission..."
Chu Xiangyun murmured to himself, feeling a rare sense of frustration, while Mioxiang was cautious beside her and did not dare to speak.
Now that things have happened, there is no chance to regret it.
Chu Xiangyun once quietly pulled back a corner of the cloth belt and observed Miuxiang. His spiritual power structure was obviously completely different from the refined structure of the villagers who were manufactured in a streamlined manner. He had no military value, but his overall logical response was completely different.
It shows doubtfully that a lot of thought went into making him.
Chu Xiangyun was convinced that he had not found the wrong target.
The escort mission may not be difficult for ordinary people, but for Chu Xiangyun, taking the initiative is her usual attitude. Her high sensitivity to spiritual power also destined her to be better at solo operations.
Shi Zhuqing once commented on Chu Xiangyun, saying that she was never willing to look back, and she saw more when she covered her eyes than when she only used her spiritual power to observe the world.
Chu Xiangyun actually did not understand what Shi Zhuqing said, but this did not prevent her from following her advice, wearing eye patches as much as possible, and using her eyes that were cursed or blessed to watch and observe more of the real things around her.
Rather than cold spiritual power.
Chu Xiangyun sighed and looked at Miuxiang who was waiting uneasily beside him.
"Let's go."
at the same time.
Shi Zhuqing was already on her way to escort Miuxiang. Although she spent too much time observing the geographical location, fortunately, the arrival of the white-scaled beast pointed her in the right direction.
Based on Shi Zhuqing's knowledge base, these two place names, including River Village and Jinsha City, did not leave the slightest impression in her memory and were most likely just fictitious.
But in the Lingxiao Mansion exam, the appearance of fictitious place names is also an information reminder in itself - this is something that cannot be talked about with others.
What kind of things cannot be made public?
Shi Zhuqing looked at the panting Miuxian who was walking next to him without any trace. This guy's physical strength was far lower than that of ordinary people, not even as good as a child like Shi Zhuqing.
Is it injury? Or is it disguise?
Thinking of this, Shi Zhuqing couldn't help but start to worry about Chu Xiangyun, who was also in the examination room. She had never been good at communicating with others. She wondered if she could find out the key to the examination questions. Don't be fooled.
*
At this time, Chu Xiangyun was sitting with Miuxiang behind a boulder in the shadow, sitting opposite each other in silence.
"Ok?"
asked in detail.
"etc."
Chu Xiangyun shook his head.
Even the invigilator outside the examination room was attracted by the confusing conversation between these two people. Several people came over at the same time and suddenly discovered that there was a bonfire between the two people.
Above the bonfire, there is a wooden stick. Looking at the craftsmanship, you can tell that it was cut by Chu Xiangyun, who is good at jungle life. And what passes through the wooden stick is the body of the white-scaled beast that Chu Xiangyun killed before.
——
"If you don't mind, can you tell me what you are here for?" Miuxiang couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him and asked.
The request for Chu Xiangyun to escort him was actually just something he blurted out when he was in a critical condition and sought medical treatment. From the moment he set out on the road, just to reach the village of Baohe, all the people who escorted him had died.
He is not afraid of death, but meaningless death brings nothing. He must reach Jinsha City and complete his mission. Only then will he be worthy of those who died for him.
Miuxiang couldn't help but think of the corpse lying with him again.
Maybe...Chu Xiangyun will be the next person to die next to him.
