Chapter 172 "Just wander around"
Underground imperial tomb.
This is a lounge.
Torches burned brightly on the wall, and stone guards stood on either side of the door.
Shen Ye appeared quietly.
Two voices sounded at the same time.
"I guessed you would come, but I didn't expect you would come so fast." Nangong Sirui said, waving his fan.
"Which one did you choose to be your mentor?" Xiao Mengyu asked.
Shen Ye took a look and saw that the lounge was empty except for the two of them.
As expected, he is the first and second ranked freshman.
"I don't know his name yet, but he has accepted the mission now."
Shen Ye scratched his head and said.
Rumble——
The stone door slowly opened.
A passage appeared in front of the three people.
"The door will not open until at least three people are gathered. Okay - I'm in a hurry, so I'll take the first step."
After Nangong Sirui finished speaking, he flashed out of the door.
Various hidden weapons appeared on both sides of the road, hitting him directly.
The ground sank again, turning the road into a cliff.
A group of bats followed Nangong Sirui and spit out small fireballs at him.
Nangong Sirui dodged and moved in the passage, trying to overcome many obstacles and quickly disappeared at the end of the passage.
"Do you know his mission?" Shen Ye asked.
"He just said something, as if he wanted to arrive at a certain tomb chamber within the specified time and retrieve a treasure from it." Xiao Mengyu said.
"What about you?" Shen Ye asked again.
Xiao Mengyu drew out the Canxue Sword and said:
"Knock down 100 monsters - can't kill them."
Shen Ye looked at her and then at the passage outside.
Not a single monster.
"Depending on different tasks, different events will occur here - do you go first or do I go first?" Xiao Mengyu asked.
"You go first." Shen Ye said.
"By the way, what is your mission?"
"Wander around as you like."
Xiao Mengyu's beautiful eyes widened.
"Yes, I know it's ridiculous, but the instructor just let me wander around." Shen Ye shrugged.
Turn around...
Is this considered a test?
People are so irritating.
"Hmph... Why do you look so in need of a beating today? I'm going to take the first step and leave it to you."
Xiao Mengyu turned around and left.
As soon as she walked into the passage, two human-faced snakes suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Hehe, little girl, we have eaten people before."
A human-faced snake laughed.
Xiao Mengyu ignored it at all, took a step forward, split his sword into two shadows, and directly knocked the two human-faced snakes away and stuck them against the wall.
"There are 98 more monsters!"
As she muttered, she walked forward and quickly disappeared at the end of the passage.
Now only Shen Ye is left.
Shen Ye crossed his arms and fell into thought.
After seeing the missions of Nangong Sirui and Xiao Mengyu, he began to feel a little unsure.
——Really just wandering around?
At this time, he was the only one standing in the rest room.
There's no point in waiting.
He stepped forward, walked out of the room, and came to the passage.
Xiao Mengyu said——
Depending on the task, different events will occur here.
Waited for a while.
Sure enough, something happened.
A strange man with eight legs emerged from the ground, holding a long note with five or six pages in it. He read the note back and forth before speaking:
"Shen Ye?"
"It's me." Shen Ye said.
"Come to accept the instructor's test?"
"That's right."
The monster looked at the note again and asked in an uncertain tone:
"What did your mentor tell you?"
"He said he would let me take a look around." Shen Ye said truthfully.
The monster looked away from the note and stared at Shen Ye instead.
"What's wrong? There are flowers on my face?"
Shen Ye asked.
"No, are you sure you want to take the test?"
"right."
"...Okay, come with me."
The monster turned around and walked away without looking back, and Shen Ye had no choice but to follow closely behind.
Passed several crossroads.
The monster stopped, looked at the note in his hand and said:
"Come on, in the first level, you have to reach Tomb Room No. 57 within thirty minutes and retrieve a treasure from inside."
“Push forward – start now!”
The words fell.
On the road ahead, various traps and monsters began to appear.
Shen Ye was slightly startled.
What?
Isn't this Nangong Sirui's test mission?
Me too?
"Hey, can I use magic spirit?" Shen Ye asked.
"Of course, as long as you have the strength, you can use any means." The monster said.
"good!"
Shen Ye straightened up, flew up, and rushed forward at an unparalleled speed.
There is no need to accumulate energy to kick the ground, no need to pay attention to the movement of the body, no need to choose a foothold——
Just fly!
In the main world, only those with strength reaching the fourth or fifth level of the Dharma Realm can fly.
in other words--
In the current test, no freshman can avoid all traps on the ground by flying.
But Shen Ye is flying now!
A hole suddenly opened in the wall, and several green arrows shot out.
Shen Ye touched his ring and put on a suit of undead armor.
——This is Prince Norton's collection!
He didn't stop for those arrows at all, letting them hit the armor and make a "ding, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong" sound.
Go!
Charge forward with all your strength!
Shen Ye's flying speed was getting faster and faster.
Two zombies suddenly appeared in front of him and grabbed him together.
Shen Ye wiped his ring.
The big skeleton appeared and turned into a skeletal giant, blasting away the two zombies with one punch.
All distractions along the way are resolved by it.
Shen Ye was able to continue to increase his speed and flew to the end of the road in one breath.
I saw that there were piles of corpses here.
Deep within the countless corpses, a total of five doors were buried.
Each door only shows a little outline, which can't be seen clearly. Previously, it was a test of the freshmen's adaptability, but here, the freshmen's observation skills are about to be tested.
Shen Ye was in a hurry, so how could he find the time to search slowly?
"Hello!"
He shouted: "Which burial chamber is number 57?"
"Dark Whisper" activates!
All the corpses stretched out their hands and pointed to the door on the far left.
"Thanks."
Shen Ye said.
The big skeleton turned into a skeleton giant and opened the way. Shen Ye followed, and soon arrived at the 57th burial chamber.
But the ground inside is full of broken weapons and armor, and I want to distinguish the treasures among them——
Shen Ye looked around, then stood there and waited.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Glimmer of light gathered from the darkness, and appeared as small words on a helmet:
"Rhode's Helmet."
"treasure."
"Description: Several gems in good condition are hidden within the lining of the helmet."
"——In case of emergency."
This is it!
Shen Ye picked up the helmet.
Bang.
The void opened, and the eight-clawed monster shouted:
"Hell, how do you know the treasure is this helmet?"
"I guessed it," Shen Ye said.
The eight-clawed monster took out the long note: "Okay, the next test is..."
"Defeat a hundred monsters."
"Isn't this someone else's test? The test just now was someone else's too, why should I do it?" Shen Ye couldn't help but ask.
"Your instructor lets you wander around as you please?" the eight-clawed monster asked.
"That's right." Shen Ye said.
"In our case, the word 'turn' means turning around - you have to pass everyone's test before you can call it a turn." The eight-clawed monster explained.
Shen Ye was stunned.
The eight-clawed monster lowered his head to read the note and murmured in a low voice: "The requirements are very high. Just turning is not enough. You must also turn 'casually', which means it is very relaxed and freehand, and you cannot fail even once."
"...That's ridiculous." Shen Ye said.
"Are you going to give up? In fact, even I think your test is too perverted." The eight-clawed monster said.
"Don't give up - start." Shen Ye said.
"Then, start right away."
The eight-clawed monster disappears.
The wall behind the tomb opens to reveal a wide square.
on the square.
Many monsters were holding weapons and looking towards Shen Ye.
One hundred.
Tsk.
It's so troublesome.
Shen Ye shook his head, flew forward, and floated above the square. He briefly estimated the distance and sang:
"Are you happy?"
The fun people start!
The Fun·Rabbit Dance is immediately activated.
The monsters had no choice but to stack one on top of another, forming a front-to-back arrangement, and swayed toward the mid-air.
One hundred monsters, stacked on top of each other, were finally approaching Shen Ye in mid-air.
Shen Ye squatted in the air, rested his chin on his hand, and casually drew out the night dagger.
"Sorry, I have a lot to pass, so——"
He let go.
The dagger fell downwards and penetrated a hundred monsters instantly.
Bang!
The eight-clawed monster appears again.
"Hell, you're actually the instructor, right? Are you here to check our work?"
It looked at Shen Ye suspiciously.
Shen Ye had no choice but to show his tarot cards to the other party.
"Hey, kid, who is your mentor?"
the eight-clawed monster asked curiously.
"I don't know his name either." Shen Ye said.
"...Forget it, let's look at the third test. Defeat the ghost spider tribe on the cliff and take away the fire lotus deep in the abyss."
As soon as the eight-clawed monster finished reading, he immediately cursed: "Damn it! You can fly, isn't this test in vain?"
"Flying is very tiring, okay?" Shen Ye said.
With a movement of his body, he flew across the square and flew down the steep cliff.
Soon they arrived at the Abyss.
There are many ghost spiders entrenched here, each one is five or six meters long, and they make creepy screams.
Shen Ye glanced at them and felt that these guys were just a piece of cake.
"Eat?"
he asked.
"Eat." The big skeleton appeared and said.
"Stop!!!" The eight-clawed monster appeared and shouted angrily.
Shen Ye stopped and looked at it in confusion.
"It's difficult for us to tame a group of ghost spiders! We can't feed them to you!" the eight-clawed monster said loudly.
"What about the test?" Shen Ye spread his hands.
The eight-clawed monster took out a lotus flower that glowed with fire and threw it to Shen Ye.
"I'm really scared of you - here, take this, walk around, don't stop here, go to the next mission."
It said impatiently, took out a long piece of paper, took a look at it, and said: "The next mission is to go to the deep underground river to find giant clams and ask for a pearl."
To enter the water...
Bang!
The big skeleton turned into the Skeleton King——
"Come up, let's go!"
It greeted Shen Ye very skillfully.
"Let's go!" Shen Ye jumped on the Skeleton King's back with great skill.
"Stop!!!" the eight-clawed monster roared hoarsely.
Shen Ye stopped with the big skeleton and looked at it.
"……Give."
The monster threw a pearl.
Shen Ye: "...Is this good?"
"It's not easy for us to raise giant clams. Don't make trouble! Do you understand?"
"Okay, but why are you so nice to me?" Shen Ye weighed the pearls in his hand.
"Because none of these tasks are suitable for you!"
Shen Ye was slightly startled.
It seems to make some sense.
...The mission here is a bit too childish.
It makes people unable to lift their spirits.
"Hey, how do you design the mission? Can you hire some game designers? The mission is really boring." Shen Ye said.
The eight-clawed monster stared at him and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't complain about us - we actually designed it very well, but this is a place for the assessment of new students."
"I'm a new student." Shen Ye spread his hands.
"Can the new born fly? Can he summon magic spirits? Why bother dancing with a hundred monsters? Leading the king - I'm sorry, don't glare at me, I mean bringing magic spirits into the water."
"You've completely exceeded the assessment standards. I'm going to give you a hammer!"
