Chapter 8: The Taste of Life and Death


When Yuhua Tianji pushed the door open and walked into the darkness, some of the cold wind that swept in as the door opened made Wen Xuanyu's eyes squint slightly.

Although the Wen family has never taught him martial arts in advance because he is worried about some erroneous teachings and leaving some habits that are difficult to correct, but using some elixirs that ordinary people cannot access at all to moderate his health, it is to raise the only son of the Wen family's generation to the best state before entering Qingluan Academy.

Wen Xuanyu didn't look strong, but his bones were very good, so his hair looked the darkest and brightest among all the freshmen, and at this moment, it also formed a strong contrast with Yuhua Wuji's golden hair.

As the only son of the Wen family and the successor of all the future forces of the Wen family, Wen Xuanyu knows very well that there is still an unimaginable gap between the Wen family and the Yuhua family.

The vast majority of the priests of the empire are loyal to the Yuhua family, because they abide by some strict doctrines, so this loyalty is even more fanatical, and all the priests are people who spread faith, and they have a very high reputation among many soldiers and civilians, because they have not been in contact with Yun Qin's priests before, so it is difficult for Wen Xuanyu to understand how he can make so many people believe and support just by using some rigid dogmas and some god-like teachings, and let the people of the Yuhua family occupy a seat among the nine patriarchs.

But now Yuhua Tianji's words and deeds make Wen Xuanyu completely understand that the people of the Yuhua family are like the most fanatical believers, and only such people can attract more believers to surround him.

Wen Xuanyu is also very clear that in this big competition, the current saint naturally hopes that the Thunder Academy side will win, but whether their Wen family's father in the Zhongzhou Imperial City can win the competition with the Leng family and enter the Senate is the choice of the nine people who sit behind the curtain.

And their attitude will not depend on the attitude of the emperor, or only on the performance of each family.

Compared to the Leng family's Leng Qiuyu, who was not able to enter the five-person roster of Qingluan Academy, he was already a step ahead, but he naturally couldn't be easily compared to Yuhua Tianji.

"I'll go to Peak One."

All these thoughts just crossed Wen Xuanyu's mind for a moment, and he immediately stood up, glanced at Gao Yanan, Lin Xi, and Bian Linghan, and then walked out with Yuhua Tianji.

The distance between Peak No. 1 and their current location was only second only to Peak No. 3 where Yuhua Tianji had gone.

After walking out of this wooden house, the mountain wind swept some ice particles on his face, Wen Xuanyu's body trembled slightly, the only thing he couldn't understand in his heart was that Lin Xi and Bian Linghan were not like the "silver foxes" in the Trial Valley, in his opinion, with the strength and cultivation that Lin Xi and Bian Linghan showed in the rapid walk, it was impossible to break the record in the Trial Valley in such a short period of time.

Even if a person in this world is powerful, it is impossible to see through people's hearts, so he didn't know that Lin Xi was his imaginary enemy, Silver Fox, he just thought, could it be that Vice Dean Xia didn't care about the outcome of this game at all, and even so, he had to hide one or two of the strongest students Only Lin Xi, Gao Yanan and Bian Linghan were left in the wooden house.

"I figured out why the academy didn't gather the five of us first and let everyone get acquainted with it."

Lin Xi looked at the direction in which Wen Xuanyu and Yuhua Wuji's figures disappeared, looked at Gao Yanan and Bian Linghan and said: "Except for some secrets that the academy wants to keep, it may be too familiar, and it will be easier to compromise after the friendship is good, but it is better to give full play to one's personal ability according to one's beliefs in this way." ” Gao Yanan glanced at Lin Xi with a little dissatisfaction, feeling that Lin Xi was too redundant to think about these issues at this time, and after glancing at Lin Xi, she asked directly: "Lin Xi, what are you going to do?"

Lin Xi groaned slightly, without the slightest concealment, and said, "I want to go with Bian Linghan, and I have to prepare some things, so I will set off after dawn." ” "Okay."

Gao Yanan glanced at Lin Xi and Bian Linghan without emotion, nodded, and said, "I'm ready to leave for Peak Nine now." ” Lin Xi looked at Gao Yanan and said seriously: "I still have the previous opinion, in this kind of dark night, those prisoners will definitely find a sheltered place to hide first, and it is difficult to see the traces left by them in the dark night, so you might as well set off again until dawn." ” Gao Yanan shook his head and said calmly: "Those five prisoners may do this, but those five students of the Thunder Academy are very likely to search around in this dark night, and it is more likely to encounter the students of the Thunder Academy than to find those five prisoners." ” "Solving a student of Thunder Academy is naturally an extra chance of winning."

Lin Xi's complexion changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "But it's the same for the Thunder Academy, and as long as they kill the prisoner, for them, killing us and killing the prisoner, they can all win the final victory, this game rule is not fair to us in itself." ” "It's easier to kill people than to save them, and this game is not fair."

Gao Yanan looked at Lin Xi and said: "But this is the academy's own choice, so if we want to win, we must pay more, so we can only search for more places than they can as soon as possible, so Yuhua Wuji's choice at the beginning was not wrong, and I will also set off immediately." ” Lin Xi smiled bitterly, unfolded the map, and after taking a second look at the directions and markings of those peaks on the map, he said, "Then if you go to Peak No. 9, the main area that Bian Linghan and I are searching for should be around Peak No. 6 and No. 5."

Gao Yanan glanced at the map that Lin Xi had unfolded, and said in a deep voice: "After I finished searching for Peak No. 9, I continued to search for the location of Peak No. 1. ” Lin Xi looked at the map and said: "Then if I finish searching for Peak No. 6 and Peak No. 5, I will move towards Peak No. 3, if the winner is not determined at that time, we will go towards Peak No. 1 and see if we can meet you." ” Gao Yanan hummed lightly.

"Let's go."

Lin Xi took a deep look at this woman whose appearance and temper made everyone dislike, put away the map, but went out first, heading towards a wooden house in the back, "Let's go and choose weapons together." ” In the simple wooden houses that are ventilated everywhere, it looks like a small armory of the border army.

The common standard blades of black border army long knives, black long swords, spears, and spears that shine with a cold luster and some uncommon standard weapons such as large horse chopping knives, hook sickles, and meteor hammers are also readily available, and there are more than one in number, all of them are brand new, and even exude a greasy smell that is unique to the blades that only come out of the warehouse.

Lin Xi and Bian Linghan also had several Black Stone Strongbows, equipped with a few arrow bags.

But there is only one kind of armor, which is the most common standard light armor of the border army, which is made of two layers of cowhide tanning, and only the key parts such as the henchman are inlaid with copper sheets.

This brand-new copper-inlaid light armor could already block the slashing of ordinary border troops, but for cultivators, it was too thin.

After watching Gao Yanan choose a piece of bronze inlaid light armor and a long sword and an uncommon three-edged dagger according to the rules of the competition, Lin Xi couldn't help but say softly: "You have to be careful." ” "With my cultivation, even if I can't deal with the other party, it shouldn't be a big problem to escape, so it's you who need to worry more about yourself."

Looking at the bows and arrows in Lin Xi and Bian Linghan's hands, Gao Yanan was more calm, and said, "But now that I see the things you have chosen, I seem to be able to feel at ease." ” Lin Xi smiled a little reluctantly and said, "Since that's the case, then take care."

"I'll go over and change my clothes later, you don't have to come with me, take care."

Gao Yanan waved his hand, glanced at Lin Xi, and didn't say anything more, then turned around and walked out, walking towards the original cabin.

"Is this the taste of life and death?"

Although Gao Yanan was very confident, looking at Gao Yanan's back in the dark, Lin Xi's heart was still a little unspeakably sour.

But he knows very well that this is not the real taste of life and death, if Gao Yanan leaves now, he will really never come back, and he will never be able to see him again, then his mood will definitely be even more uncomfortable.

And if he wants not to face this real parting of life and death, he can only become stronger and defeat strong enemies such as Helan Yuexi, who pose a great threat to him.

"Let's get started."

Therefore, Lin Xi quickly calmed down completely, nodded at Bian Linghan, sat down directly in this humble hut, took a sharp thorn that should have been called Emei Thorn in the world before him, and Yun Qin called it Sleeve Thorn, and began to carve the notches on the arrows of Yun Qin's black feather arrows with extreme patience and care.

Bian Linghan also began to carve and transform the arrows very seriously, in fact, she couldn't understand why Lin Xi stayed here overnight to prepare so many arrows.

Because she and Lin Xi will definitely not have too many chances to make a move, and whether it is successful or not is a matter of several arrows, even if they prepare a little more, more than ten per person is enough, but Lin Xi made it clear that he wants at least forty of these modified arrows, which can minimize the resistance and rotate violently in the air to increase the piercing power.

And Lin Xi was so confident, so she naturally cooperated with Lin Xi to do so.

Early in the morning, Lin Xi rubbed his slightly pale cheeks, trying his best to dispel some of the fatigue in his body.

After a night of carving, he and Bian Linghan had completed the carving of more than seventy arrows, and according to the success rate of their previous training, and minus some of the losses that were not done well in the resin application process, there should be more than forty sticks.

With such a large number of arrows, it should be enough to match his ability to return to the front of the ten stops, and it is possible to complete a powerful blow at a height of more than five hundred steps.

Looking at Bian Linghan, who had not slept all night and was obviously very tired, Lin Xi asked with concern: "Do you want to rest for half an hour first, I'll look for it nearby first, and get some suitable pine resin back first." ” Bian Linghan shook his head.

Lin Xi didn't insist, and said, "Then let's complete the transformation of these arrows as soon as possible, and then start searching, and then rest at night." ” "I'll go over there and change my clothes."

Bian Linghan chose a short sword, and walked into the wooden house in front of him with a light armor inlaid with copper.

Lin Xi's gaze lingered on the black border army long sword and the black long sword for a long time, and finally felt that he preferred the long sword.

An Keyi and Xu Shengmo had very different statuses in Lin Xi's heart, but thinking that their sword skills were taught by An Keyi, and their sword skills were taught by Xu Shengmo, but he subconsciously preferred long swords, Lin Xi couldn't help but think that he still seemed to like flying swords the most after all, and thought that if he could fly swords with Windranger's extremely long-distance strong bow in the future, would it be too extravagant But what he didn't know was that at this moment, on the highest peak among the "Ten Fingers", in the improvised emperor's palace in the world, Vice President Xia, who was looking at the vast sky, did not expect more from him
