Chapter 1142 I Changed My Mind
"I announce that the rookie competition, the star key competition...starts immediately..."
"Boom!"
A heavy and thunderous noise resounded over the swamp forest, and in an instant, the entrance of the swamp forest was like a prehistoric monster with its mouth wide open...
The people in front are as insignificant as ants.
Everyone's blood boiled with anger and their morale increased greatly. Under the sound of the melodious horn, everyone rushed towards the dark and deep swamp forest in front of them like a herd of beasts out of their cages.
More than a hundred rookies and geniuses are like a rainbow.
However, the rookie disciples headed by several geniuses such as Qi Xing and Yang Rong didn't seem to be in a hurry. On their faces, besides arrogance, there was also high-spirited self-confidence...
"It's started..." Wu Mian grabbed Chu Hen's wrist, and then pointed to Qi Xing in front of him. Yang Rong said humanely, "You can't break through the swamp forest by yourself... The best way is you Follow them... Qi Xing and Yang Rong are not only talented, but their cultivation has reached the third level of the ancient realm. If you follow them, there is still some hope..."
"Okay, okay, I know what to do..."
Chu Hen shook his hand a little speechlessly, and immediately followed the people in front of him into the swamp forest.
"This guy, hmph, I'm doing it for his own good!" Wu Mian snorted slightly dissatisfied.
...
"Every one of them is really young and energetic, but they don't know that they will hit the iron net later."
In the peripheral area, the disciples of Wu Zong who came to see the excitement joked a little gloatingly.
"It's not an iron net, it's an iron plate, haha."
"But then again, the overall strength of this group of newcomers this year is much stronger than in previous years... and Qi Xing, Yang Rong, Zhao Qingyi, and Zhao Qingcai, who are outstanding, may hope to break through the previous years. normal."
"I hope there is a little bit of it, but don't forget that Shen Hong is among the interceptors. I got the news that Shen Hong will plan to hit the Tianwu list this year."
...
Tianwu list?
Upon hearing these three words,
Everyone present couldn't help squinting the corners of their eyes, with heat and awe gushing from the depths of their pupils.
On the Tianwu list, they represent the fifteen strongest people in Wuzong.
For any disciple of the sect, the ultimate goal is to engrave his name on that day's martial arts list one day.
If Shen Hong really has the strength to hit the list, then the result of this newcomer competition is already obvious.
...
As soon as he entered the swamp forest, the dark and damp atmosphere enveloped him like night.
The mighty towering trees cover the sky, and even the light cannot penetrate.
Dark, deep, and disturbingly silent.
Facing this nightmare-like environment of the abyss, the people in front suddenly stopped moving forward.
The fiery passion just now suddenly waned. The dark environment, mixed with the cool wind, was like an invisible ghost hand, pinching the hearts of everyone...
There is an inexplicable depression.
...
"Already overwhelmed?"
A playful laugh came from behind.
The people in front were startled, and turned their heads one after another, only to see a few figures walking into the jungle unhurriedly surrounded by everyone.
"If you're like this, it's no different than giving them the star key..." Qi Xing looked at the people in front of him, with a slight curvature on the corner of his mouth.
Everyone looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said, "What do you want to say?"
Qi Xing looked sideways at Yang Rong who was beside him, and the latter also smiled proudly, and immediately said, "The blocker's side can be said to occupy the right time and place..."
The so-called time, the ones who block it are the older generation disciples of the sect, while they are the fledgling newcomers.
Just like the juniors are to the elders, even if you are not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, your subconscious mind will still feel that you are the weak side, and there will be more or less a sense of awe...
If the location is right, it is the swamp forest in front of you.
They arrived here for the first time, and they didn't know anything about the distribution of the swamp forest.
However, those who blocked it knew the depth of every inch of land here.
In the case of occupying a favorable location, it is no problem to win more with less.
...
Yang Rong looked at the people around him with a smile, and glanced at Zhao Qingyi and Zhao Qingcai's siblings beside him.
"Senior Brother Qi Xing and I have studied carefully in the past few days. In the history of Wu Zong, there is almost no precedent for a newcomer to win... So, even if the blocker is on the side, it is more than enough for one person to control ten of us. ...At this moment they are coming towards us from the opposite direction, the faster they run, the sooner they will fall into their hands..."
What the other party said immediately made everyone present frown.
Standing behind, Chu Hen raised his eyebrows lightly, and also nodded secretly.
It has to be said that the other party's analysis is indeed very reasonable.
...
"Then what are we going to do?" Someone asked.
Yang Rong smiled indifferently, looked at him at the same level, and continued, "Although they occupy the right time and the right place...but we still have 'Renhe'..."
The weather is not as good as the location, but the location is weaker than the harmony of people.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Senior brother Yang Rong means that we can gather everyone's strength and give it a go?"
"Yes! No!"
Yang Rong was both affirmative and negative.
"Gathering everyone's strength, there is indeed a half success rate, but...we don't want to take risks because of this half probability..."
Not risking half the odds?
As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were brightened.
Even Zhao Qingyi, Zhao Qingcai and others were surprised.
You know, in the history of Wu Zong, there is almost no probability that the rookie side will win...
With a 50% chance, he still doesn't want to try.
That is to say, they have a better combat plan.
...
If these words came from someone else, they would definitely have been sneered at, but standing in front of them were geniuses like Qi Xing and Yang Rong, everyone felt reassured and filled with anticipation.
"I wonder if the two senior brothers have any good suggestions? I will definitely do my best..."
Soon someone expressed 'loyalty'.
"Me too, willing to serve the two senior brothers."
...
On the one hand, it is to get more stars, and on the other hand, it is indeed to win over these two top talents.
In this fiercely competitive Wuzong, backing is especially important.
However, when everyone was excited about it, Qi Xing showed a frivolous smile on his face, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said calmly, "Then... first, the third-level cultivation of the Sky Profound Realm The following, you can leave..."
Those below the third level of the Sky Profound Realm?
leave?
"Wow..."
As soon as these words came out, some people present immediately changed their expressions.
"What do you mean? Let's leave?"
"Why?"
...
While a small number of people protested, there were also many followers who sternly reprimanded.
"Hmph, leave as soon as you are told, how can there be so much nonsense?"
"That's right, the overall strength of the interceptor side is so strong, what's the use of you waste materials who haven't even reached the third level of the Sky Profound Realm?"
"What are you proud of? Do you look down on people if you have a high cultivation base?"
"Don't look down on people too much?"
...
When everyone was arguing, Qi Xing's eyes froze, and in an instant, an invisible majestic momentum swept out of his body.
Everyone present suddenly felt that there was a huge burden on their shoulders, and immediately shut their mouths.
"I never like to repeat my words..." Qi Xing's tone was very calm, but in the ears of everyone, it was as sharp as a sharp knife, "Those who fail to pass the third level of the Sky Profound Realm, leave immediately... ..."
The indifferent voice fell.
The faces of those people changed again and again.
Looking at Qi Xing, who was as imposing as a mountain, the pedestrian gritted his teeth immediately, and hurriedly left...
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 people left the team one after another.
The remaining one hundred people looked at Qi Xing and Yang Rong again.
The former smiled in satisfaction, and then said, "My plan is very simple, make a lot of noise, and sneak through the old warehouse..."
Crossing the old warehouse secretly?
Everyone was a little surprised.
Yang Rong continued to explain, "We put all the stars on one person... We tried our best to cover him and create opportunities for him to board the Xiangzhou platform..."
First he was taken aback, then his heart lit up.
"That's right! The reward for the task is ten times the number of star keys held on the elephant boat platform. In other words, the total number of rewards will not change. Just put all the star keys on one person first, and wait After he successfully set foot on the elephant boat platform to get rewards, he will distribute them to us one by one."
"Then other people will be responsible for the cover. It doesn't matter if they are caught."
"Wait... If the man in charge of the cover is caught, but the interceptors find that they don't have the star key, they will definitely become suspicious."
...
The blockers are not fools.
Once they find that other people don't have a star key, they will naturally think that someone must carry all the star keys to break through, and then they will ignore the rest of the people, so they will wait under the elephant boat platform...
Everyone turned their questioning eyes to Qi Xing and Yang Rong.
The latter said disapprovingly, "So, each of you will leave one or two star keys on your body, and you only need to hand over the bulk to us... In addition, the main team responsible for the main cover will store a few more on them, so as to This is to confuse the opponent..."
After listening to the other party's explanation, everyone applauded.
"It's really thoughtful."
"Several senior brothers are really resourceful."
"I don't know which senior brother brought the star key to break through?"
...
Everyone's eyes moved on Qi Xing, Yang Rong, Zhao Qingyi, and Zhao Qingcai.
Yang Rong replied calmly, "If you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people... You don't need to know who is in charge of breaking through the Xiangzhou Platform, or even better not to know."
The crowd present agreed.
"Senior brother Yang Rong is right."
"We trust you."
...
Qi Xing and Yang Rong looked at each other and smiled, and the latter turned to another young man beside him and said, "Lu Wei, please collect everyone's star key..."
"Yes!"
The man named Lu Wei respectfully nodded in agreement, and immediately took out his sect token token, and collected everyone's star keys one by one...
The token tokens are facing each other, and a series of gossamer-like light patterns are intertwined between the two. The vertical marks on the back of one token are reduced, and the vertical marks on the other token are rapidly increasing...
When the number of 'silver' vertical marks reaches 'ten', those 'silver' vertical marks will merge into a 'red' vertical mark, and when the number of 'red' vertical marks reaches 'ten', the Will once again merge into a 'cyan' vertical mark...
Behind the token, the silver in the first row is the single digit.
The second row of red vertical marks represents ten.
The cyan in the third row represents hundreds.
...
After collecting all the tokens of the disciples, when Lu Wei finally walked in front of Chu Hen, the token token in his hand already had three cyan, eight red, and six silver vertical streaks of light...
This also means that the other party now holds 386 star keys.
Everyone handed over three or so star keys and kept only one.
...
"Where's your star spoon?"
When Lu Wei walked up to Chu Hen and was just about to ask, when he caught a glimpse of the unique silver vertical streak light on the Beichen Token in the other party's hand, his whole face sank, and at the same time, a thick gleam appeared between his brows. contempt of contempt...
"Hmph, a star key? Could this be the legendary fishing in troubled waters?"
one?
In an instant, all eyes present were focused on Chu Hen alone.
"It's funny, a star spoon came to join in the fun?"
"The forest is really big, and there are all kinds of birds."
...
Even Zhao Qingcai couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, "What does this guy think? It's shameful to return a star key. I really have nothing to say to him."
Facing the disdainful eyes around him, Chu Hen didn't take it seriously at all, and replied calmly, "Can't I participate with a star key?"
"Of course!" Lu Wei replied coldly, with a mocking look in his eyes, "If you get lost now, you can still catch up with those unqualified waste..."
Unqualified!
Scrap!
For Chu Hen who only held a star spoon, everyone treated him coldly.
At this moment, Zhao Qingyi walked up and said, "I'll give him three star keys..."
After speaking, he took out his disciple's token.
Under the word 'Dongxuan' on the back of the token, there is a red vertical mark and two silver vertical marks...
Zhao Qingyi has twelve star spoons.
Because the other party came to Wuzong two months earlier, he received fourteen more star keys than Chu Hen.
...
"Brother, what do you care about him?"
Zhao Qingcai seemed a little displeased that Zhao Qingyi stood up for Chu Hen.
Zhao Qingyi ignored the other party and just looked at Lu Wei.
The latter turned his questioning gaze to Qi Xing and Yang Rong.
Qi Xing raised his eyebrows, smiled playfully, and said, "Since it's brother Zhao's friend, then accept it! With a strong enough team, it doesn't matter if there is one more 'idleman'..."
However, as soon as the other party's voice fell, Chu Hen's frivolous laughter also came.
"Sorry, I changed my mind just now..."
"Oh?" Qi Xing showed surprise on his face.
Chu Hen raised his head slightly, his eyes were like stars, and facing Qi Xing's arrogance was not empty at all, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was even a bit of mockery...
"I plan to keep this star key for myself!"
