Chapter 1935
"Adou, be careful on the road this time. Remember, you are the hope of our whole village."
"I know, don't worry, I will definitely come back, I will definitely come back when the time comes."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of our parents, don't worry."
"Well, I will definitely get in."
In a small mountain village, a tall figure kept waving his hands behind him, carrying all the packages on his body, and left here without looking back in the last voice of farewell and encouragement.
As the only gifted child in the village, Adou was fortunate to receive guidance from an unknown predecessor when he was young, and he started his cultivation path from then on.
Although there are their own inherited skills in their village, none of them is stronger than the skills that the predecessors gave him and only he can practice.
He has excellent talent in the village, plus some resources left by the predecessors, and some resources accumulated by the village for him, so he practices very fast. Others have to work to earn a meager income, only he
Of course he has a goal, which is to join those long-awaited tribes to further improve himself.
Because as his strength improved, this hometown was no longer able to support him to continue practicing, and the resources left by his predecessors had all been used up. Next, he had to either go out to work to support himself while accumulating resources for practice.
Or he had to join the sects founded by those big races and serve them. Only they had enough resources to train subordinates. Of course, since they entered, it was equivalent to selling their lives to the other party, and the other party would naturally not treat them unfairly. Not to mention the practice resources, there was also a generous settlement fee at home.
There was no way. Although everyone here could practice, and generally there was no problem practicing the second or third level, it was just like this, because most of the worlds could not continue to allow them to practice like this. They could only rely on the black core to continue practicing, or go to those small worlds that could withstand higher levels.
But those worlds were all controlled by the Hundred Alliances, and also by the big races in them. If they wanted to go there, they naturally had to join the other party.
Those who really had status were called the survivors, and ordinary people like them were called the survivors. The difference was very clear.
With a vision for the future, Adou headed for the nearest city. From the news brought by the village chief, the once-in-a-decade recruitment plan there has started again.
In just three days, Adou traveled day and night without any rest and arrived at the only city nearby.
In fact, their entire village, including the surrounding villages, serves this city. It is difficult to survive away from the city. Just those creatures wandering outside without consciousness are enough to give them a headache.
The huge city is bustling with people, and the dozens of feet high city walls still have mottled traces of time.
Adou did not stop for long and walked directly to the center. There were also many young people like him who came here with dreams, hoping to be selected by the other party.
However, most of them came with hope and returned with disappointment, because the other party's selection is very strict. It not only depends on your talent, but also on your expertise. In short, the more outstanding you are, the easier it is to be selected, and those resources are not blown by the wind.
A person has only three chances in his life, and he cannot exceed a certain age. All cities will choose at the same time. When he was miserable, he did not get selected for hundreds of years.
Adou was very confident, because the senior who had high hopes for him, now remembered that he also had a monster in the sky, and was optimistic about him.
Moreover, he had good talent, so he needed to be selected. Even if he was not selected, he had to be selected for the backup plan, because the village had invested too much effort in him, and if he failed, it would be shameful to face it.
The backup plan was to go up and be a servant, which was equivalent to an outer disciple, but after a period of time, if there was no accident, he could only be sent back.
Even so, some outer disciples also had a counterattack, which inspired others to want to go in. As long as they went in, they would have a heart-warming income.
In the center, a table had been set up long ago, and a man with shawl hair was already sitting there. There was already a long queue in front of him, winding around for several circles, and they were all queuing up honestly.
Because there were only three days in total, they would not wait for those who were late, but they also had experience here, and everything was in order. Adou also quickly came to the back of the team, and soon there were people queuing behind him.
When he arrived here, the first day was only halfway through, and he was not in a hurry at all. Many people around him, like him, were wearing clean but worn clothes, and those who were dressed in bright clothes did not intend to look at them with different eyes.
When the sky was dim and the surroundings were illuminated by the lighting spell, it was finally his turn.
"Name?"
"Adou."
"Cultivation and age."
"Level 5, twenty-four."
"Go in."
The man simply looked at the other person, tapped his arm, recognized that he was taking the assessment for the first time, and then waved to let him in.
Behind him was a huge yard, and there was another man inside, waiting for his arrival, and at the end behind him, there was a bench, on which a local demon was sitting.
In front of him was a door to leave here, which was a passage for losers. When Adou went in, he saw that the person in front of him had left in disappointment.
"Stand up quickly, block my attack, and I'll judge later." The person who was testing was so irritable. Seeing Adou stop where he was, he immediately shouted.
Adou quickly turned his sight around, standing in a designated circle with some trembling, looking at the test officer with bare hands.
He spent most of his time practicing, and he came out only a few times. For a moment, he was a little confused and didn't know what to do.
The test officer didn't ask the other party, after all, the other party's adaptability was also a kind of thing. Seeing the other party standing there, he blew over lightly in one breath.
Yes, it was one breath. Although his cultivation was also very low, only in the early stage of ghost, and he had only been promoted for a few decades, he was testing these guys who didn't even have a black soul, and he was really afraid of accidentally killing the other party.
For him, it was a breath, but for Adou, it was as if a hurricane blew up from the ground in front of him, whistling towards him, and before he could reach it, his whole body suddenly wanted to float up.
At this time, he finally reacted. He grabbed a long stick made of mud and broke through the stone below. He held it firmly in his hand. It seemed that the whole person was floating in the air, like a raised flag.
"Not bad, the reaction is not bad." The examiner had a flash of thought in his mind, and then he stomped his feet on the ground without waiting for the strong wind in the air to fall.
Just under Adou's body, it began to vibrate rapidly. This time, Adou could no longer support it. When his whole body was about to fly, suddenly a force in his body emerged on the surface of his body, and the whole person firmly grasped the stone pillar again. Compared with before, now it was like an anchor fixed in the air, motionless.
This time, the examiner showed a trace of surprise in his eyes, then took a closer look, nodded slightly, and then moved his feet slightly. Adou's body was instantly thrown out and fell to the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
Adou, who was lying on the ground, did not get up immediately. With tears in his eyes, he tried to stop them from flowing out. He was just a little short of holding on, and he could hold on for a while, but he didn't hold on in the end.
Thinking of this, his heart was broken. When he thought about going back after failing, he felt even more uncomfortable. He had come out with a solemn promise. How could he go back to face his relatives? The tears in his eyes finally burst out, and the monster in the air stopped and flowed down.
After a little wipe, Adou stood up. In order to prevent the other party from seeing his appearance, he walked towards the road to leave.
"Hey, where are you going? Come back!" The examiner saw the other party leaving and hurriedly called him.
"Didn't I fail?" Adou heard a different voice behind him and turned his head in surprise. The mess on his face was clearly seen by the other party.
"You failed, but I think you are still okay. As a candidate, if you can work hard inside, it is not impossible to enter." The examiner saw the other party's appearance, knew what the other party was thinking, and spoke directly.
This kid is okay, but his own cultivation foundation is not stable, and he needs to be polished, so he is included in the candidates.
"Really? I really made the selection," Adou was stunned and asked again with some disbelief.
"Of course, you go to the back room, there will be someone to receive you, leave quickly, I have to continue other assessments." The examiner pointed to the room not far to the side and said.
"Oh, oh, thank you, thank you sir." Adou immediately turned from sadness to joy, but tears were still flowing from his eyes, that was a surprise.
After a while, Adou came out of the side door with a large package of things, and he had never felt that the sky was so beautiful, even if it was a dark sky.
After receiving a generous resettlement fee, Adou immediately rushed home. He had to come back within a week, otherwise he would not wait for him. The person he saw before also passed the test, but the other party asked the person who came with him to take it back, and he stayed there.
When he left the city, he didn't know that a figure was also following behind him.
Four days later, after resting at home, Adou left here again. He knew that after this separation, it was possible that he would never see the people he was familiar with again when he came back, even his parents and brothers.
If he could have a future, their hometown would at least be much better, and with this resettlement fee, they would not need to save as much as before for hundreds of years.
"Goodbye."
Adou took a last look and then left quickly.
"Bang"
Just as he had just left his hometown, there was a sudden vibration in the distance, which immediately attracted his attention. After a little hesitation, Adou went to see what happened.
Not far away, he saw a small pit on the ground. When he got closer, he saw a strange creature lying inside.
It looked like a fish, and the reminder was about the size of a palm. The whole body was light green, but the outside was dark blue, reflecting rays of light. Above the head, there was a long line like a fishing line, with a super mini lantern connected to the end. The faint green light flashed, indicating that the owner's situation seemed to be not good.
Adou had never seen this strange creature before. It looked very strange. The only thing he could feel was the weakness coming from its body, as if it was injured. He looked around and saw that it was an empty wilderness and there would be no one there. He then went forward and picked up the little fish.
"Woo woo"
Xiaoyu opened his eyes a little weakly, and let out a series of mournful screams in his mouth, which made people feel the pain of the other party. A trace of struggle appeared on Adou's face, and then he took out a golden elixir from his arms. .
This is also what the other party gave him to save his life. Just one, the effect can heal people below the peak of the black soul.
At this time, he left all the necessary things with him in the village. However, after hearing the little fish in his hand groan, he did not hesitate to put the only pill into the little fish's mouth.
When the little fish with this elixir seemed to have a much calmer breath, Adou put the other person in his arms, let the other person have a good rest, and hurried on again.
By the time he returned to the assessment location in the city, all the assessments had ended. What surprised him was that within three days, he and the man he first met had passed, and the other had passed directly, confirming his He would have to go in and inspect the status, otherwise he would be beaten back.
At this time, there was still half a day left before leaving. The only one in the gathering place was the young man, who looked a little arrogant. When he saw Adou coming in, he just glanced at him and had no intention of talking to him at all. Adou didn't ask for it either. Not interested, he chatted with the other person and walked straight to the side, ready to wait for the assessor and others to come over.
As soon as he got there, he felt something move in his arms. He put his hand in and took out the monster that was in the air on the way before. He saw that the other person had completely woken up. When he saw Adou, he jumped with joy and jumped out of the sky. It jumped out of the palm and swam happily around him, even brushing Adou's cheek with its tail.
The latter felt the itching and couldn't help laughing. He had never seen such a cute guy.
His voice attracted the attention of the man next to him again. He turned his head and looked this way with some dissatisfaction, ready to tell the other person that it needed to be quiet here, but when he turned his head, he saw that strange creature, which made his eyes almost fall out.
Although he didn't know what the creature was, he knew at a glance that this unusual little thing must be a rare animal.
This small world that serves as a transit has a very large scope. It has not yet entered the old age, but is about to leave the middle age. Some strange beasts will still be born, but they are rarely seen. I did not expect that this would not be the case. A guy who knows where to pop out of the wilderness can actually get such good luck.
At this time, he was already jealous in his heart. In this small world, his family was considered well-off, otherwise he would not have enough resources to practice, but he did not have such good luck.
"You seem to have recovered from your injuries. Please leave. I will be leaving here in a while."
While he was looking at this side with envy, he suddenly heard the silly boy's mouth opening loudly. He suddenly stood up and walked straight towards the other party. However, his good cultivation still allowed him to endure it when he walked into the other party. He yelled and cursed.
"What do you want to do?" Instead, Adou looked at the other person and said.
"Let me meet you. My name is Ming Xuan. You are another candidate, right?" Ming Xuan stretched out his hand and said.
"My name is Adou, nice to meet you." Adou also said happily, this should be the first friend he met.
Ming Xuan's face twitched, and he calmly withdrew his hand, deciding not to get angry with this ignorant guy, and not to say anything polite, otherwise the other party might not understand what he said.
"Where did this come from? I remember you didn't have it when you came here a few days ago. Did you bring it out from home now?" Ming Xuan said, pointing to the small fish flying around.
If I had brought it with me last time, I might have been able to give him the same core guidance without much testing.
"Oh, this is not from my home, but I picked it up on the road when I came here, but the other person was injured at the time." Adou was very honest and told what happened without any concealment.
After hearing the other party's normal talk, Ming Xuan felt that the other party was deliberately angry with him and repeatedly suppressed the ups and downs in his heart before continuing to ask.
"If I heard correctly, you just said you wanted to drive the other party away, right?"
"It's not about rushing, it's about letting the other person go back to where it should go. I was so sad when I left my hometown, and the other person would definitely not be happy if he left. And I'm leaving here, and I don't know when I can come back, so I let it go. Adou said again in a matter-of-fact manner.
"In this case, you give me the other party. It seems that the other party's injuries are not fully healed. I will be responsible for it and let it recover completely. It is better than following you. I will put the other party back when the time comes." Ming Xuan stopped and immediately said.
"That's fine."
Adou's answer made him overjoyed. Although he couldn't help scolding the other person for being a fool and being too naive, his face showed that he was thinking of the other person.
Adou stretched out his hand to catch the small fish, but the small fish swayed flexibly in the air, making it impossible for him to catch it. It also made begging sounds from its mouth, as if it was unwilling to leave, which slowed down his movements. , hesitantly said to Ming Xuan.
"If the other party doesn't want it, why don't you stay with me first and let it decide when it leaves."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yu became excited and pressed his cool mouth to Adou's cheek, as if he understood what the other person said.
Mingxuan wanted to say something, but at this time, the examiner had come over and was going to take them away. Looking at the little fish, a trace of wonder flashed in his eyes. Of course, he asked curiously. After learning the whole story, he also praised.
"This kind of spiritual creature really depends on fate. Others can't take it away by force. If it can stay with you for a while, it will be considered a monster in the sky."
His words made Mingxuan completely dispel the idea in his heart. This is the fate of others. No one can take it away. He just envied the other party for having such good luck and couldn't help saying.
"Why don't I have such good luck?"
"Hehe"
Adou also understood a little bit, teasing the little fish with his hands, and seemed to feel that there was an inexplicable feeling between them.
"Okay, let's go now. I'll explain some rules to you on the way. This time I'm lucky. There are actually two." The examiner said to the two people.
The three of them left here together and headed towards the final meeting point, where they would meet up with others and leave.
