A card was thrown next to Miuxiang. He picked it up, but all he could see was blank. He seemed to have remembered something, so he couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and tentatively input spiritual power into it.
, and then raised his head suddenly.
"Are you a student of Lingxiao Mansion?"
Chu Xiangyun pulled the fire with a wooden stick and nodded silently.
She didn't need to say anything more, the eyes of the person in front of her immediately changed from melancholy and guilt to trust and excitement.
"I can rest assured that!"
You really do this...
When Chu Xiangyun discovered that there was this card in the package, he knew that the points delivery point that Shi Zhuqing had given her many instructions before had appeared——
To put it simply...
Advertise.
In fact, after every admissions examination in Lingxiao Mansion, there will be a special person to edit the highlights of the examination room video, and the student card of Lingxiao Mansion is one of the clips with the highest frequency of appearance.
As long as you take it out, you will either be killed because "you are actually a student of Lingxiao Mansion, so you can't stay!", or your trust level will be as high as that of Miaoxiang. In short, it will show that the students of Lingxiao Mansion are extremely excellent and worthy of trust.
advertising segment.
Chu Xiangyun also observed Miexiang for a long time before deciding to take out this key prop to gain favorability.
"Okay." Chu Xiangyun took out a dagger and handed it to Miuxiang, indicating that he would cut the meat and eat it himself.
Eating is often a time when people are more relaxed, and at the same time... it is also a good opportunity to obtain information.
Keeping Chen Wanjing's teachings in mind, Chu Xiangyun ate the meat leisurely and said casually, "Since we are now in an employment relationship, can you at least tell me some information that I should know?
"
"Ah..." Miuxiang was stunned and nodded subconsciously, "What you said makes sense."
"But I can't tell you too much, it would be too dangerous for you."
Miuxian's eyes looked very sincere, and at the same time there was no concealed guilt. He didn't look like a person who had the courage to say "crossing the desert" at all.
"It doesn't matter. Just tell me about the body lying next to you when we just met. That person didn't look like a villager."
This is a topic that will not arouse too much vigilance from the other party.
Miuxiang's guilty expression became more obvious, "That's... the person who escorted me before."
"He died escorting you?"
"...Yes." Miuxiang was silent for a moment before nodding.
Chu Xiangyun could already imagine the scene at that time. Although she looked at the corpse, which was not too much, she could also see that the other party was scarred and should have died of excessive blood loss. But at the same time, although Miuxiang's body was stained with some
There were blood stains, but only the clothes were damaged and there were no wounds on the body. It was really weird.
This was one of the reasons why she pointed her bow and arrow at him so decisively.
The loyal guards reluctantly escorted their employer to the village of Bianhe. Behind them were a herd of chasing white-scaled beasts. They retreated after seeing the large number of villagers. At this time, the guards could no longer stop when they saw the enemy leaving.
Unable to hold on, I fell down...
The remaining villagers did not want to get into trouble and hid in their homes one after another, until Chu Xiangyun's arrival broke the tranquility again...
It sounds very logical, but there are still some things to worry about.
Chu Xiangyun looked at Miuxiang who was eating the barbecue hard and wrote question marks one after another in his heart.
After eating and drinking for a while, the two set out on the road again.
Chu Xiangyun made a rough estimate. Based on the detailed journey, excluding the time for eating, sleeping and resting, it would take at least three days to reach Jinsha City.
This is a very suitable time. It is not too long and can also play a role in training students. It is probably the examiner's intentional setting.
But walking in the desert is really meaningless. If Chu Xiangyun wasn't physically limited, she would probably be faster even if she carried Miuxiang and took a rest.
To be honest, in today's era when spiritual power is widespread, people with extremely weak physical strength like Miuxiang are very rare.
"What year is it now?"
Chu Xiangyun asked abruptly.
Miuxiang looked at her with a slightly confused look, "It's the 1322nd year of the human race, what's wrong?"
...The total history of humankind is less than a thousand years.
Chu Xiangyun shook his head, "It's okay, let's find a place to rest."
Nearly four hours had passed since they had barbecue, and the sun was almost setting.
Although Miuxiang always looked like he was about to lose his temper along the way, he never offered to stop, which surprised Chu Xiangyun at his persistence.
During this period, there were also three or four scattered white-scaled beasts that tried to attack them, but they all fled quickly after just a trial. Chu Xiangyun did not pursue them with all his strength in order to save his energy. After all, there was still enough food.
She had asked Miuxiang intentionally or unintentionally if he knew the mastermind behind the control of these white-scaled beasts. He really wasn't very good at lying. The red color spread to his neck but he still said he didn't know. Chu Xiangyun didn't press him anymore.
The two found a shelter from the wind. Chu Xiangyun took out a kettle and handed it to Miuxiang. He was a little embarrassed, but he accepted it without hesitation.
This kettle is actually Chu Xiangyun's "mission prop". It was put in her bag from the beginning. Although Chu Xiangyun has no experience in desert survival, it is estimated that the amount of water should be enough for the two of them to drink -
It's impossible to ask candidates to leave the exam due to thirst, right?
...There shouldn't be such a thing, right?
*
The first day of the exam came to an end due to the arrival of darkness. The examiner during the day handed over to the examiner who was watching at night, stretched and relaxed and walked out.
“This year’s students are really as good as ever.”
One of the teachers sighed.
Leaving the game with regret because you can't beat the white-scaled beast is the most common way to leave the game. After all, this is the first scoring point they specially set up.
But there are always a few "especially outstanding" kids in every exam. If it hadn't been banned, Lingxiao Mansion might have made a fortune just by editing clips of these little geniuses to make funny videos.
There were those who didn't know the way in the desert and didn't find the examination room, and there were those who were too cautious and directly hit the wrong details, causing the death of important NPCs. There was also the exact opposite of the former, who was completely unwary of others - he clearly accepted the escort mission but failed.
The villagers stopped him and said that they could not see such an honest boy die.
There is even a child who is very good at overthinking. He firmly believes that blood stains are an option for confusion, and he is still wandering around the village to this day.
There were so many different ways of exiting and making mistakes. Even the examiner who set the test questions was amazed. Is the question I asked so difficult?
But there are naturally some exceptionally outstanding children among them.
For example, Chu Xiangyun, although he is a bit "lively" in details, is innocuous. His coping methods are already at the examination textbook level, and he is temporarily on the right path. If he can maintain this level, he should have no problem passing the exam, Ling Xiao
She must also have a place among the outstanding cases in the government examination clips.
Of course, there are some who take an unconventional path, and Shi Zhuqing is a representative of this type. When she stood next to Chu Xiangyun, she looked very steady, but she didn't expect that in the examination room... she was so unique.
.
Shi Zhuqing's weapon is the "Thousand Valley Seal" inherited from the Shi family, which means "Thousands of mountains and valleys, not afraid of dangers". The main way of using it is of course not to hit people, but to "seal" and use games.
In terminology, it is roughly the auxiliary role responsible for adding buffs.
According to Chen Wanjing's joke, Shi Zhuqing once relied on the archery skills of Qianheyin and Chu Xiangyun, and the two of them defeated all the invincible opponents in Qingyun Academy. The cooperation was flawless. He is very much looking forward to his niece's performance when she is alone.
, even other invigilators also paid attention.
But I didn't expect that Shi Zhuqing was really good at using his own weapons, and even... used them a little too well.
The invigilators watched the helpless Wu Xiang being strengthened, pushed out, knocked down, strengthened again, pushed forward again... and they became gradually numb.
Miuxiang's attraction to the white-scaled beast is indeed unique, and it doesn't take any extra effort from Shi Zhuqing to make him attract all the hatred. It's just that it's so pitiful to look at it like this. Even the invigilators finally said
They couldn't bear to turn their eyes away, leaving only Chen Wanjing staring at the screen with a smile, a white light flashing above his glasses.
Several examiners thought of this, looked at each other, shuddered at the same time, and decided not to think so much and go to bed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the second day arrived, and the attack by the white-scaled beast at night was inevitable. Several pieces of the light curtain outside the examination room disappeared again. Although it reduced the workload of the examiners, it inevitably made them a little depressed.
At this time, Chu Xiangyun was escorting Miao Xiang on the road to Jinsha City again. In order to preserve their physical strength, the two of them did not engage in small talk, but just kept walking.
However, Miuxiang was the only one who tried her best. Chu Xiangyun was just taking care of his speed. She was still thinking about the test questions in her mind.
It would be great if Zhuqing was here.
I'm not good at reading people's hearts...Chu Xiangyun couldn't help but sigh again when he thought about this.
Miuxiang glanced at her and tried to speed up his pace again.
After getting along with each other for a day and a night, Miuxiang has gained a preliminary trust and understanding of Chu Xiangyun. He no longer looks at her with the seemingly obscure but obvious eyes to Chu Xiangyun. At the same time, he treats Chu Xiangyun.
Yun's attitude is no longer so cautious.
In a sense, these two people actually get along quite well. They are both relatively pure and straightforward people who do not hide anything deliberately.
But trust is trust, and Miuxiang still kept silent about the reason why he had to go to Jinsha City. Such an obvious test question was placed in front of him but he could not solve it, as if something was hanging high.
Chu Xiangyun always wanted to look up and look again.
The wind and sand were flying, and only the footsteps of Chu Xiangyun and Miuxiang were left in the entire desert. But at this moment, Chu Xiangyun suddenly stopped.
"stop……"
Before Chu Xiangyun could say anything, he saw an extremely huge white-scaled beast leaping up from the sand!
Chu Xiangyun looked into its eyes, and saw only the murderousness and ruthlessness of a beast. She did not raise her bow and arrow, but instead used one hand to hold Miuxiang who was trying to retreat.
"Don't move, still."
As if to confirm her words, several ordinary white-scaled beasts also emerged from the sand. Their figures could be called petite against the huge white-scaled beast.
Seeing that they didn't move, the white-scaled beasts slowly dispersed and formed a small encirclement around them, which was still gradually shrinking.
Although Miuxiang did not understand the meaning of Chu Xiangyun's actions, out of trust, he suppressed the desire to run away even though his body was shaking.
Just when the white-scaled beast behind them was about to touch Miexiang, Chu Xiangyun and the huge white-scaled beast made moves at the same time!
