The protagonist of the book is blackening

Waiting until the sky was full of clouds, the monk in white came slowly with his sword.

"Everyone, it's time for a day." He glanced at the testers who were lying or sitting, and seemed to be very satisfied with the small 100 people. The monk in white smiled and said: "Congratulations, everyone, for passing the first level. So please invite everyone tonight Rest here for one night, and start the second test tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands, and immediately behind him came a dozen white-clothed disciples: all of them had wooden plates in their hands, and Chu Jinran couldn't see clearly what was on the plate. Something, he was too far from there.However, the white-clothed monk said in the next moment: "We have also prepared some delicious food for you, please enjoy it." Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so white-clothed disciples landed with swords and distributed food to the testers .

Four delicacies appeared before Chu Jinran's eyes: Stir-fried venison, tender mushrooms in clear soup, a bowl of green rice full of aura as the staple food, and sweet purple fruits that can be eaten after the meal as the last dish.

"Wow! This is really, this is really delicious..." Yu Xiaorou's surprised voice came from next to his ear, and Chu Jinran looked back, and the white-clothed monk had disappeared.

The praise and exclamation of the people around kept on, and the originally quiet woodland boiled up. Some people had already taken out the wine they brought with them to chat with their companions. Chu Jinran ate quietly. He met eyes with Wei Qinglang not far away.Seeing him look, Wei Qinglang raised his wine glass and smiled silly at him, then drank it down in one gulp, and showed the empty glass to Chu Jinran, as if showing off.Chu Jinran smiled slightly, and was about to raise a glass to drink water to return the gift, but saw the beautiful young man next to Wei Qinglang also suddenly looked at him, Chu Jinran was slightly startled by the flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

He drank the glass of water calmly, finished eating with Yu Xiaorou and Su Che, and went to Wei Qinglang's side together.The people who were with Wei Qinglang were all young masters in brocade clothes, obviously people of the same status as him.As for the beautiful young man who showed strong hostility to Chu Jinran just now, his clothes were darker than others.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wei Qinglang introduced people to Chu Jinran, and Chu Jinran's guess was correct, they were all direct descendants or offshoots of the five great immortal cultivating families in Qingyun City.Wei Qinglang finally introduced the pretty boy: "This is Xie Xiangnan, my good friend." Hearing this, Xie Xiangnan nodded coldly to Chu Jinran as a gesture.But when other people gestured to Chu Jinran, most of them smiled, at least those who didn't smile were not as cold as Xie Xiangan.Seeing this, Wei Qinglang hurriedly said, "Don't worry about it, Xiangnan treats everyone like this." Someone next to him made a joke: "Except for you."

Wei Qinglang didn't feel anything wrong, he grabbed the shoulder of the pretty boy next to him, and didn't notice that Xie Xiangnan froze for a moment, Wei Qinglang smiled triumphantly: "That's right, Xiangnan and I want to be good friends forever .”

"..." Hearing this, Su Che, who was silent at the side, gave Xie Xiangnan a vague look: Why does this person have the same feelings for Wei Qinglang as he does for Chu Jinran? Could it be that Xie Xiangnan also wants to kill Wei Qinglang?

In the early morning of the next day, the monk in white came again with his sword.

He first greeted with a smile: "Did you sleep well last night?" Hearing the affirmative answer below, he said: "In this case, I will introduce the second test. The second test is to pass through Longji Mountain. Arrive at Lingxiao Palace. Naturally, we will provide you with the map." As if he had received the order from the monk in white, the disciple in white behind him distributed the map to everyone in an orderly manner. Besides the map, there was also a yellow charm.The monk in white slowly glanced at the crowd underground, wondering if it was Su Che's illusion, he always felt that the monk in white's eyes stayed on Chu Jinran for a while, which made him slightly uncomfortable

"There are many monsters in Longji Mountain. I hope you all follow the route given on the map. Don't go exploring by yourself. Otherwise, you will encounter some monsters in the foundation period..." The monk in white smiled and said these meaningful words, He said again: "Everyone can see that yellow talisman? If you encounter any monsters that you cannot resist, use this yellow talisman, and my palace disciples will come to help you. However, I believe you have already guessed, Using a yellow talisman is tantamount to abstention."

While listening to the refreshing voice of the monk in white, Chu Jinran looked at the map: I saw that the red lines on the map were clearly drawn, but the red lines were really too few, there were only three, and there were a hundred or so people here. It is easy to eliminate the dangers on the road?

But I heard the monk in white say: "Although there are only three red lines on this map, there are countless branch routes on this general red line. You can form a small team of three with the other two and go to the small branch very close to the red line. You can pass this level only if you take the only one route. The time limit is three days.”

So that's the case... Chu Jinran lowered his head and looked at the map again. The three red lines on the map were roughly the same length, and he couldn't tell which one was longer and which was shorter, or which one was more dangerous and safer.Is this deliberately dividing people into thirds and following the three red lines?Chu Jinran thought for a while, then shook his head in his heart: Not necessarily.

Later, the white-clothed monk said some hard words, Chu Jinran heard a few words, and the white-clothed monk led the people away.

The second test officially started. The place where they are located is exactly the fork of the three roads. Chu Jinran first waited and watched in front of the three roads: the first road has many trees, and there are some places within sight. dim.The second path is full of low bushes, a sheep farm path.In the third path, the sound of water can be faintly heard.There are pros and cons to each of the three paths.

At first, no one moved, but after a short while, a group of people came out at the head, Chu Jinran looked over: he saw that they were the people who were with Wei Qinglang yesterday, they were all descendants of the aristocratic family.But there was neither Wei Qinglang nor Xie Xiangan among them.The team chose the narrow path in the middle, probably because they didn't want to be blocked by the dense trees.Later, other people chose paths one after another. Chu Jinran looked at it for a while, and saw that the first path was obviously less people chose, so he entered the first path together with Su Che and Yu Xiaorou.

As soon as I entered the forest, there was a gust of wind blowing, and the shaking leaves made a slight rattling sound, like whispering.This place is very similar to the forest in the lower realm before, and Chu Jinran couldn't help but feel a little comfortable.

"Brother Chu..." A timid voice sounded, Yu Xiaorou gently tugged at his sleeve: "I'm afraid..."

Before entering the forest, Chu Jinran lined up. He was at the front, Yu Xiaorou was in the middle, and Su Che was in the rear. Therefore, Yu Xiaorou could reach Chu Jinran with her hand.But this did not reduce her fear. When she was in the country, she often heard uncles talking about how scary the forests around the village were, telling her not to go there to play.Moreover, Brother Chu was also seriously injured in the forest, and the sunlight was broken into pieces by the branches and leaves, and fell on the thick rotting leaves, making the forest look darker than other places... How can we not make the forest look darker... This little girl who is only 12 years old is afraid?

Chu Jinran wanted to comfort her, but suddenly she heard Su Che say urgently: "Be careful!"

Before seeing it, he already heard the swishing sound piercing the air, Chu Jinran subconsciously raised his hand to chop at the swishing sound, but when he heard the "cracking sound", the sound of the blade colliding with the flesh made the whole body shudder. Numb, Chu Jinran followed the voice and saw a green snake that he had cut in half.The snake was still squirming, its mouth was wide open, and its sharp fangs released traces of venom. Yu Xiaorou didn't have time to utter an exclamation, so she heard someone behind her say, "Eh? Are you going this way too?"
