Chapter 35 River Marsh Bamboo Forest
I thought I could learn more by looking down from an aerial perspective, but all I saw was the endless bamboo.
They grow like crazy - devouring the snow on the edge.Can't see any valuable information.
"It's not far away - the location marked by the Meteor Curse." The Taoist who led the team in front of the crowd shouted.The sound passed through the swishing cold wind, making it a bit muffled.
After a while, the competitors on the stream descended to the western edge of the bamboo forest.
Almost as soon as it landed, there was a booming sound in the air, and people from the Devil's Cult rushed over.
The group of bone demons riding giant worm mounts also appeared in the direction of the snow mountain.The three doors were almost evenly tied in terms of speed.But none of them seemed very satisfied with the result, and exchanged provocative eyes coldly.
In order to ensure fairness, Secretary Cao from Laixi, Li Mengzhao from the Demon Sect, Feng Chan from the Yaozu, and a few outsiders who were in charge of the Meteor Curse came here a little earlier than everyone else. gather past.
Lin Mian followed the people in the team, pulling the neckline inward while walking.
He didn't know that his movement was also noticed.
"Cold?" Yu Qingsui's voice suddenly sounded.
"...No, it's not very cold." Lin Mian said this, not wanting to appear too delicate.
But feeling cold is not his problem.In fact, it was more obvious with the people on the left and right - he saw Senior Sister Xue Jingya folded her arms not far away, her neck was almost shrunk into her clothes;
——Only the Yaozu had the foresight, each of them was wearing a blanket and a fur hat, showing a malicious smile.They lived on the snow-capped mountains in the west, so they naturally made these preparations.
Yu Qingsui moved slightly, looking at Lin Mian's pale face from the cold, she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end.
When everyone got close to Secretary Cao and the others, he suddenly shortened his body and gave a soft reminder in a volume that others could not hear.
"Remember what I told you that night."
"Okay." Lin Mian replied softly.
There was something unnatural about that clearing.
—a piece of weathered bare rock.It's just that the weathering is not ordinary at first glance. The appearance of the broken rocks is regular, and outlines a constellation similar to the Big Dipper.
Right in the middle of the constellation, the trail of rocks forms a perfect circle.
Seeing that everyone was here, the leaders of the three families stopped talking nonsense and raised their chins to the two men in blue and black clothes.
The two were very old and had white beards.One is holding a black box in one hand, and the other is holding a blue copper bottle.
"All the people are here, please call out the rules." Secretary Cao said.
The old man nodded and opened the box meticulously.On the flannel inside is the gravel that fell when the Meteor Curse was summoned that day.
The crushed stone is dark blue, and it looks very ordinary.
It's just that the serious and careful movements of the two people added a lot of solemnity to the stone.
The person holding the stone put the gravel in the circle outlined by the rock, while the other person tilted the copper bottle, and the unknown liquid inside poured out and poured on the gravel.
Immediately, the traces on the ground were lit——
Some handwriting also appeared out of thin air.
The handwriting is very strange, this kind of writing that no one can understand.
Everyone was confused and puzzled, but the two old men standing in front of the star formation had already blurted out the rules written on it in easy-to-understand words.
"The first level: finding objects in the bamboo forest." They said.
"The rules are as follows: Fifteen contestants enter the Jiangzhang Bamboo Forest to find the 15-yuan star pendant hidden in the bamboo forest."
"There is no special rule to follow for the place where the star pendant appears. All areas within the bamboo forest are within a reasonable range."
"Winning conditions: Calculated by the total number of star pendants of the three parties. At the end of the level, the party with the most star pendants will be counted as the winner of the first level and will accumulate three points in the tournament. Conversely, the party with the least star pendants The side with the number 2 will be counted as the loser and will accumulate zero points. No.[-] will accumulate one point.”
"The Meteor Curse does not impose any requirements on the method of obtaining the star pendant. That is to say, it is free to snatch and block the opponent. Everyone's safety needs to be guaranteed by yourself. If you feel that it is dangerous, the best way is to immediately Get out of the bamboo forest."
Here are the rules that are well understood.
However, as soon as the next sentence was uttered, things became a little ambiguous.
"Checkpoint time—there is no specified time." They continued, "There are only two conditions to mark the end of the checkpoint: one is that all 15 yuan jade pendants have been found. The other is that everyone comes to leave the bamboo forest—another reminder, the process of finding objects Once an individual leaves the bamboo forest, he is not allowed to re-enter, which marks the end of the personal search time."
The crowd was in an uproar.
"What, there is no set time—I heard that the first level used to be seven days?"
"In this case, if the star pendant is very difficult to find, it is possible that the time will be greatly increased... After all, this bamboo forest is so big."
"After obtaining the star pendant, whether to keep it or not is a big problem...Since you can fight or snatch it at will, should you keep looking for it or leave the bamboo forest as soon as you get it? After all, it is very likely that someone will snatch it away..."
"I think if you get two yuan, you should leave as soon as possible."
"But maybe you can get more to win glory for the teacher?"
"I think this kind of rule actually tests those who haven't got it? What if you don't find a piece for a long time? It's definitely not good to leave in despair..."
"...In that case, it is completely impossible to predict what will end."
Lin Mian heard these whispering voices in his ears, and agreed with their thoughts in his heart.
Indeed, this is a very psychological rule.
In fact, the worst situation is...assuming that 15 out of 14 yuan has been withdrawn, the people who got a lot of star pendants have already left the bamboo forest.But the rest of the people are completely unaware of this, which may lead to a situation where many people compete for a star pendant.Fighting and killing—I'm afraid it's unavoidable.
And the brother also said that this bamboo forest may be a little weird and dangerous.
He looked at the dark green bamboo forest.That color really makes people feel uncomfortable.
But Lin Mian was neither afraid nor nervous.
One is because he knows very well that he now has a much stronger ability than before.
The other reason is that the senior brother wanted to take him along - his eyes turned to Yu Qingsui subconsciously.
Oops.Thinking about it like this makes me a little nervous...
Lin Mian's ears were slightly red, and he looked away stiffly.
"Finally, as far as individual units are concerned, the number of star pendants each person gets will determine certain conditions for the next level. Therefore, everyone needs to go all out!" The white-bearded old man announced loudly and turned to everyone: "Everyone, please join us in the next stage. In a little while, I will go to interpret the initial positions arranged by the Meteor Curse for everyone—please be patient."
On the outer edge of the bamboo forest, there is a temporary tent-like room made of two tree trunks and straw mats.
After the two of them finished speaking, they walked into the room without knowing what to do.
It took about three or ten minutes for them to pop up again.Suddenly named.
"Baicheng." The old man called, this is the name of a Yaozu.The old man hooked his fingers, "Come in."
After Bai Cheng walked into the tent.There was only a knocking sound from inside.After a while, the old man came out by himself and called another person's name: "Xue Jingya. Come in."
Senior Sister Jingya looked a little nervous.
However, as an excellent Taoist student who has always been among the best in Laixi, she is also very capable.Not too flustered by it.
She went in and never came out again.
The old man came out and called out after calling a few more names.
"Lin Mian."
Lin Mian was taken aback.He thought he would be called senior brother first, but he didn't expect his name to be pronounced first.
As soon as he looked for it, he bumped into those dark eyes.
However, Yu Qingsui's gaze was calm, as if conveying a sense of security.
Do not be afraid.
Lin Mian pursed her lips, and gave her brother a firm look.He tickled the corner of his mouth as if he didn't think it was enough.He hoped that his senior brother could rest assured of himself.He is no longer what he used to be.
Lin Mian passed everyone's gaze, opened the straw curtain with his hand and came into the tent.
Sure enough, it was exactly what he thought.
On the ground in the middle of the tent, a mobile formation in the shape of a six-pointed star was outlined.Although the formations of each family are actually different, he can already see some similarities in them after learning the ability of the immortal way and the self-created theory of the devil.
"Stand in the middle of this," said the white-bearded man.
Lin Mian stepped forward and came to the center of the hexagram.
The white-bearded man recited a ballad, the language was very strange, but it was not unpleasant.
After that, Lin Mian felt a gust of wind blow up on the ground, blowing up his trousers.
The wind swirled around him, getting stronger and stronger, and then he saw everything around him become blurred with the wind, like the afterimage left by a high-speed moving object.It was as if he had fallen into a polychromatic tunnel, and darted through it—
In the end, he suddenly felt real again under his feet, and stepped back to the ground.
After the surrounding scenery stopped rotating, he found that his location had changed.
It is no longer a straw mat hut, but an entrance to the bamboo forest.
According to the inference of the position of the sun, this place should belong to the southeast end of the bamboo forest.
Lin Mian looked around, and of course, there was no one but himself.Not to mention people, not even a bird or ant.
Lin Mian turned his gaze back to the tall green bamboo in front of him.
They slant and squeeze, forming a dark and damp nameless path.
Without hesitation, Lin Mian quickly walked into the bamboo forest.
