Chapter 177 The weird forest! (Please vote for me!)
Jing Shaoyu and the others were moving forward at a steady speed in the ancient and primitive forest. Strangely, they did not encounter a soul beast along the way until they came to a small hillside and looked down at them. In the forest below, except for the darkness, there was no sign of any living creatures.
They felt very strange. After staying on the hillside for a while, they set off again. This time, they walked for nearly two hours.
In the past two hours, they still haven't encountered a soul beast.
“How strange!” Xu Xiaoyan finally couldn’t help complaining, “Are there really soul beasts in this forest? Why haven’t we encountered one so far? Didn’t we agree to take the exam? Survive? Why do I feel like I’m testing my patience?”
Xu Xiaoyan's words naturally resonated with Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue, but they were undoubtedly calmer than Xu Xiaoyan.
"Should we continue to move forward?" Gu Yue looked at Jing Shaoyu, her eyes indifferent and calm, and said.
Hearing this, Jing Shaoyu lowered his eyes, showing a thoughtful look. His intuition told him that this ninth test was definitely not easy, but from the moment he entered until now, nothing worthy of note or caution had happened. This is a bit too much.
“No rush.” He said, “Since this level is a survival test, the scoring standard will be related to our survival time. Perhaps, the longer the survival time, the higher the final score will be. But This simplest way of survival obviously does not apply to us soul masters, so I think there must be something hidden in this forest, maybe a soul beast or a treasure, so that it can be our real assessment. Content."
Hearing Jing Shaoyu's analysis, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, and Xu Xiaoyan suggested: "Then should we look around? Or split up?"
"No!" Jing Shaoyu immediately objected, "In this case, splitting up is a big taboo. We would rather split up at the end than take risks. The closer we get to the end, the more taboo we will take on taking risks, so we can't split up." Action."
"Okay." Xu Xiaoyan lowered his head in disappointment.
"But, we can indeed look around, become more familiar with the surrounding environment, and prepare for possible changes." Jing Shaoyu immediately added when he saw Xu Xiaoyan who was a little disappointed.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Xu Xiaoyan immediately raised his head, his eyes shining with excitement, and shouted softly.
“Yes!” Jing Shaoyu nodded and said in a clear voice, “Let’s go!”
The three of them set off again, walking down the hillside, heading in the opposite direction to where they came from. As a forest, every environment and every scenery is pretty much the same. If there are no iconic objects, such as large rocks, weird plants, or lakes and hillsides, it would be easy to get confused. Disoriented.
The forest now fits this characteristic very well. Except for the hillside where the three of them rested just now is a very conspicuous landmark, almost all the places they passed by had the same scene.
Of course, this does not mean that they will get lost. After all, with Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue here, unless there is a special formation or energy, it is impossible for them to get lost. It’s just that once The unchanging scenery on the road can easily cause visual fatigue and even cause mental irritability.
So, along the way, Jing Shaoyu and the other three never stopped chatting. Only by talking to each other could they suppress the psychological pressure caused by this almost closed and unfamiliar environment.
In this way, time passed little by little, and the sky quickly darkened. Through the doubtful sunset in the west, Jing Shaoyu knew that this world was about to enter the dark night. .
Perhaps the real test comes after darkness falls. "Gu Yue, Xiao Yan, cheer up!" With this thought, he warned, "It's getting dark, and predators may appear."
"Roar ——"
Just as Jing Shaoyu's words fell, a low and majestic roar came from a distance. The moment this roar appeared, the entire forest seemed to be resurrected from the dead and became quiet. The atmosphere was gone forever, replaced by a seething and noisy image.
This roar made Jing Shaoyu and the others stop immediately. Jing Shaoyu's hair stood on end, a solemn look appeared on his face, and even a trace of fear arose in his heart, but This kind of emotion was extinguished in an instant as soon as it appeared. It was replaced by a wave of anger from the heart, a kind of anger and vigilance that only an emperor would have when he was provoked and dared to offend the power of God.
"What is this sound?" A voice with a hint of fear and curiosity sounded beside him, and then a warm and delicate body pressed against his arm. It was Xu Xiaoyan. This girl was attracted by this sudden sound. He was startled, with a look of fear on his face.
"It sounds like a bear." Gu Yue said coldly, her body unconsciously getting closer to Jing Shaoyu. There was no fear on her face, only a hint of curiosity and doubt.
"Judging from the sound alone, this is most likely a ten thousand year soul beast!" The expression on Jing Shaoyu's face has calmed down. Although he is still a little unhappy in his heart, at least his mind is calm. , he analyzed, "It's not far from us, and it's probably the target of our assessment."
"Ah? No way?" Xu Xiaoyan was stunned, and then said, "I don't really think so. Let’s fight the Ten Thousand Years Soul Beast?”
The little girl’s expression was a bit shocked. This is a normal reaction. After all, it is a Ten Thousand Years Soul Beast. Let one Soul Sect and two Soul Lords deal with a Ten Thousand Years Soul Beast. Nian Soul Beast, anyone who hears it will doubt their own thoughts.
"It's okay." Jing Shaoyu patted Xu Xiaoyan on the shoulder and said, "Even if we are really asked to deal with the ten thousand year soul beast, we are not afraid. Don't forget, we still have Obsidian Sisal!"
A black sword-like plant appeared in Xu Xiaoyan's mind, and the astonishment on her face suddenly turned into a smile. She said, "Yes, we also have obsidian sisal."
While they were talking, there was another roar. Compared with the first roar, this one was sharper and no less powerful than the first one. However, to the ears of the three of them, there was no trace of the first roar. Instead of feeling oppressive, the sound made their whole body feel relaxed.
This is... Jing Shaoyu's expression condensed, a trace of inexplicable joy and closeness flashed in his eyes, and a strange feeling arose in his heart. The owner of this second roar seemed to exist with him. There is some kind of connection.
"Let's go over and take a look." Gu Yue said proactively, with a hint of complexity hidden deep in her eyes.
"Okay!" Jing Shaoyu nodded and said, "After all, it is an assessment. You must observe the situation first. You can't just end it without even seeing the contents of the assessment. I think Shrek Academy must be measured and dangerous. It may be possible, but it shouldn't be fatal. Let's go!"
So, the three of them moved towards the place where the roar came from.
Fengniao went first, flying in front, always checking the situation on the roadside, while Jing Shaoyu and the other two followed behind, their nerves tense, each of them ready to release their martial souls and soul skills at any time.
