Eighth Crown

Chapter 37: The Final Selection Begins

Among the shrines on the mountainside, the atmosphere here is very heavy.

The arrival of Liu Xia and Shan Yi did not attract anyone's attention, everyone was immersed in their own thoughts, and the expressions on their faces were more or less tense.

This is the venue for the final selection, and in the depths of this mountain there are evil spirits that cannibalize people.

And they will go in and fight the evil spirits in a while.

All of them add up to a total of about 20 people, but it is unknown how many people can come out of it.

If you are lucky, there may be about ten of them, and under normal circumstances, there may be four or five. In the worst case, they may even be wiped out, and none of them can get out, and they are all buried in the mouth of the evil spirits.

No wonder the complexion of this group of people is not very good-looking. When I think that I have just lived for more than ten years and is about to enter the most exciting period of my life, but I may die in such an unknown place, how can I have a good complexion.

Liu Xia's eyes flicked over these ten people one by one.

Although he doesn't have the sharp eyesight to distinguish the strength of others at a glance, but with his insight, observing the other person's face, standing posture, etc., he can at least tell whether the other party has confidence in his own strength.

However, among the dozen or so people, almost everyone's face and posture were a little stiff, and everyone seemed to have little confidence.

When thinking like this, Liu Xia's eyes passed over a young girl, but her eyes were slightly concentrated.

It was a woman who tied her long black hair into a unilateral ponytail. There was a little pink at the tip of her hair, with an emerald green butterfly hairpin. She was wearing a long cherry blossom dress, and she stood tall and graceful like a lotus flower on a lotus leaf. girl.

Just standing there, she inexplicably attracted many butterflies of different colors to surround her. There was no tension or apprehension on her face, only a single-minded focus, with a smile neither happy nor sad on her face. Know what to think.

Liu Xia felt in her heart that this girl might be the only exception among these people.

She didn't show much confidence, but she didn't have any fear either. This alone made her much stronger than the other teenagers with stiff faces.

"Excuse me, can I put this box here?"

After taking a cursory glance at the group of teenagers here, Liu Xia no longer cared, pulled the suitcase, came to the two children standing by the desk, and questioned them.

"No problem."

Among the two, the child with black shoulder-length hair opened his mouth, and his dark, unfocused pupils silently rolled around him.

It seemed that he was the leader of the two.

"Okay, I'll get it after the selection is over."

Liu Xia nodded, turned away from the case, and returned to Shan Yi's side.

His speech attracted the attention of several teenagers on the side, and they all cast their eyes on him. After seeing that he was no more than eleven or twelve years old, and his age and appearance were younger than everyone present, they all showed surprise expressions. .

'I'll get it when it's over'

To Liu Xia, such words might just be a casual remonstrance, but to these teenagers who didn't even know if they could save their own lives, they were full of confidence.

However, even so, these people have no intention of coming up to get to know each other.

Now that they can't take care of themselves, they don't care about other people's appearance and tone.

After the sun gradually rose from the horizon, two or three more people came one after another, and each of them was the same as these people, with a heavy and ugly face, and no one wanted to chat with others.

Lucia was a little strange.

Since you are worried that you will not be able to pass the final selection, why don't you take the initiative to communicate with others, get to know each other, and hug each other to keep warm?

That way, at least death can have a companion.

Not long after, around the midday of the sun, the last person came to the mountainside and appeared in the field of vision of Liu Xia and the others.

It was a boy with crimson hair and eyes, a scar on his left forehead, sun ring earrings on both ears, and a green and black plaid jacket.

Because I just ran up from the foot of the mountain, I was still breathing a little.

About the same age as Shanyi, probably about fifteen or sixteen years old, there is nothing special about him at first glance.

Lucia glanced at him, then looked away.

"Welcome everyone, come to participate in the final selection of the Ghost Slayer Squad."

It seemed that the time had come, and the two children standing in front of the case, one on the left and one on the right, began to narrate like a relay.

"On this vine attack mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there are wisteria flowers that the evil spirits hate the most all year round." The black-haired child said.

"The wisteria has formed a natural barrier, locking all the evil spirits on this mountain, and there is no way to go down the mountain to do evil." The white-haired child continued.

"Everyone's task is to survive on this vine attack mountain for seven days. No matter what method you use, after seven days, as long as you can come out alive, you can even pass the final selection and become a regular member of the ghost killing team. Sundial swords, and the uniforms of the team members."

The black-haired child continued: "Then, next, please enter the Fujishi mountain from the back of the shrine."

"The final selection begins here."

A girl in a pink dress with black hair and ponytail.

A boy in a plaid jacket with a scar on his forehead.

There were about twenty other young men and women in total, with their own ups and downs, crossed the long case, and no one said a word, and walked into this mountain of death in silence.

"Let's go in too."

Liu Xia carried the piano case on her back, said something to Shan Yi who was shivering behind her, and walked forward with the flow of people.

Since he has promised Shanyi to protect him, he will fulfill his obligation to a certain extent, as long as there is no unexpected situation, he will not renege on his promise.

Shan Yi hurriedly followed, closely following him, not daring to leave even a single step, if Liu Xia was not wearing a black close-fitting jacket brought from modern times, maybe he would come up and grab the hem of his clothes maybe.

The two were at the back of everyone and walked into the forest where wisterias were in full bloom.

"The first thing to do is to find a way to kill 10 evil spirits and complete the first spirit base promotion task. During the period, you can also 'pick up' a few solar knives."

Liu Xia silently thought about how to maximize her own interests in this final selection.

"There are a total of seven days. Apart from killing ghosts, those candidate swordsmen are also my targets. I try to squeeze out breathing skills and sword skills from them..."

There are about 20 candidate swordsmen in total, that is to say, there are a total of about 20 sun wheel knives, and he can 'pick up' two casually.

Regardless of whether there is a sun wheel knife that fits the breath of thunder, in short, get it first and then talk.

As for their life and death?

Nothing to do with him.
