The sky in the early morning was clear, and the faint sunlight reflected the layers of snow on the ground softly.
The river that runs through Big Rock City has long turned into a glacier. Some white-billed river crows are flying or walking on the ice, looking for the bodies or dead bodies of aquatic insects. In order to survive this difficult winter, some river crows even gnaw on them. The frozen bodies of his companions. They are not migratory birds. No matter how cold the winter is, they do not have the courage to migrate south. They have to endure the shadow of death at any time for another year.
In the small ferry area on the bank of the bridge, outside a few shabby houses, the poor were in a lively scene in the morning. Some were doing laundry, some were cooking, and some were talking around the bonfire that was still sending out wisps of white smoke.
"Hehe!" By the river, a three-year-old child was playing with his parents while building a snowman. Three snowmen, two big and one small, were standing side by side on the ground. The child pointed at the snowmen happily and smiled at his parents: "This It's dad, and this is mom." He pointed to the little snowman in the middle with a bright smile: "This is me!"
"Well, this is Xiaofeng." The two adults' haggard and thin faces were full of kindness. The child looked left and right lively. Suddenly he saw a tall young man not far away looking here. He immediately shouted happily : "Brother Xinlie!"
"Xiao Feng'er." Xin Lie walked steadily. As he moved, the wound left on his body yesterday hurt slightly. He stroked the child's head, said hello to Xiao Feng's parents, and then looked in front of him with a smile. These three snowmen holding hands felt very peaceful.
Xiao Feng'er seemed to have thought of something, opened her eyes wide, wrinkled her childish eyebrows, and asked, "Brother Xin Lie, do you have a father and a mother?"
Xin Lie couldn't help laughing, and Xiaofeng's parents were also amused by their son's childishness. Xiaofeng asked doubtfully: "Is there any?" Xin Lie smiled and replied: "Yes, everyone has a father and a mother. "Xiao Feng jumped up and down happily after hearing this and clapped: "Great, then brother Xin Lie, let's build your snowman too!"
Facing those clear eyes full of expectation, Xin Lie felt a little childlike, nodded and said with a smile, "Okay! I'll join in, too."
Surrounded by Xiaofeng¡¯s excitement, he squatted down, grabbed a handful of snow, and began to roll the snowballs and pile them up. In the midst of laughter and laughter, two big snowmen gradually took shape. He used dead branches, charcoal and other materials to put smiling faces on the snowmen, and his mind suddenly felt a little trance
"Ariel, our harvest this year is not good"
The vague man stroked the child's head, his figure was so tall and tough, and said: "So dad and mom are going to work in a place far away. We are not here, so you have to be good." The child was frightened and anxious. He asked politely: "Ah? Can't you take me with you? Don't you want Ariel?" The man said gently: "No, we will be back soon. I don't take you because you are young and You have to take good care of grandpa, you know?"
Looking up at the two of them, the child nodded solemnly and agreed sensibly: "Ariel will do it!"
"Take it." The vague woman handed him the steamed bun in her hand, with a warm smile on her gentle face: "Children need to eat more so that they can grow up quickly." The child took a bite of the steamed bun. He asked, "Mom, don't you want to eat?" The woman smiled and said, "Mom, you're not hungry."
Xin Lie¡¯s hand caressing the snowman¡¯s smiling face suddenly stopped and clenched into a fist. Today was the last test. No matter what, he had to become a warrior.
If he is powerful enough, everything will change!
Become a warrior.
¡¡
After buying some hot bread at the bakery to fill his stomach, Xin Lie went to the Juyan Martial Academy. After gathering with everyone, he followed the examiners to the last assessment site, Jujian Peak, and walked into the place that was still blocked by stone piers. intersection.
After walking for nearly an hour, the towering giant sword was still far away, and the mountain road gradually widened, and soon a wide old school field came into view. The bluestone pavement is broken and cracked, and dark bloodstains can be seen everywhere in the gaps not covered by snow. There are several weapon racks on the left and right sides of the school ground, but all the racks are empty. There is only a row of broken arrow targets, and a wooden The arrow was still stuck deep into the bullseye, and its feathers were trembling in the wind.
Thirty-four candidates occupied a large space in the center of the school field. Xin Lie and Cheng Lei stood in the crowd, waiting for the final assessment to begin.
Looking around, everyone couldn¡¯t help but wonder, could it be a martial arts competition next? Competing in archery?
I saw Gai Kui, who had been absent all the way, walking out of the house in front and walking to the middle of the examiners above the crowd. The sound of heavy footsteps hit everyone's hearts, and the "squeaking" sound of stepping on the snow made people even more hairy. Cold, he glanced at them?The eyes are still so cold.
"You have passed three tests and come here. You are quite capable." Gai Kui said lightly. Everyone looked at each other, but his praise made people a little uneasy. No one was stupid enough to think that they had become valued. When Gai Kui heard Kui continued: "There are thirty-four of you, and the enrollment quota for new warriors this year is ten."
Ten! ? Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and their eyes widened. Last year there were twenty, but this year it was reduced by half! ? They always thought it would be like last year, but they didn't expect
"This is reallyfuck." Cheng Lei suddenly cursed secretly, his heart filled with anxiety, there are only ten people! Xin Lie had already expected it, his eyes remained unchanged and his figure remained motionless. It was said that since the registration, this year has been harsher than previous years, so what?
After Liu Yu, Lin Yi, Meng Qian, Ma He and others were surprised, their eyes were already flashing fiercely. They glanced at the people around them secretly, wondering what they were thinking. Only ten people could succeed
Gai Kui ignored their surprise and had no intention of explaining anything. He said: "The next step is the last level. You cannot choose to exit this level." Everyone was surprised again, how to take the test? Gai Kui said: "The assessment method is very simple. You have an unlimited and unlimited fight. The ten people standing at the end will become the new warriors." He paused and added: "The fallen ones can Get up again until you are powerless. Besides, it doesn¡¯t matter whether you live or die.¡±
Looking at the noisy candidates, the one-eyed examiner raised the corner of his mouth and showed a bloodthirsty smile; the other examiners had cold faces and showed no signs of surprise.
Everyone¡¯s mood was far more than just panic, the last ten people standing! ? Then the remaining twenty-four people many people understood the key to Gaikui's words. In the upcoming melee, no matter what happens, the ten who survive to the end will be the winners!
At this moment, no one here is weak-willed. Let alone not being able to quit, no one is giving up even if they can. Everyone has made their thoughts clear. Looking around at the people around them, these companions and opponents, hostility and murderous intent can't be suppressed. This is destined to be a fierce battle where you die or I die
"Xin Lie, what should we do!?" Cheng Lei quickly asked Xin Lie next to him. He had already regarded Xin Lie as a partner who would advance and retreat together and regard him as the decision-maker.
Xin Lie narrowed his eyes and made an instant decision. He bravely championed the three armies and became a general. The three armies combined are stronger than one general! He glanced around the crowd, and their faces changed one by one. After everything yesterday, he roughly knew the character of these people, and knew who could be a partner and who was trash
"Go and call Huang Yu, He Zhong, Zhou Jian, and Zhou Sen over. Tell them that Xin Lie has invited everyone to form a group of ten and fight side by side. Everyone else should do it. Hurry!"
After hearing several names from Xin Lie's quick words, Cheng Lei was about to start running, but he suddenly stopped, frowned and asked urgently: "Who is He Zhong?" It was so chaotic yesterday, how could he pay attention to who was who?
"You invite those three people, He Zhong and the others, I'll come, hurry!" Xin Lie tensed his face, pushed him hard, and ran towards the nearest He Zhong.
How can you survive to the end in a fight with thirty-three people? He Zhongzheng was at a loss when he heard a roar coming from behind: "He Zhong, come here! I invited eight other people to fight together!" Looking back, it was Xin Lie who saved people and killed eagles! His heart skipped a beat, and he understood what Xin Lie meant, but he hesitated a little. Is this appropriate? OK? He hesitated: "Uh"
No time for nagging! Xin Lie shouted loudly: "You know what I am capable of! They have already joined, what are you thinking about!? Hurry -"
"Oh, okay!" He Zhong knew that he was brave and heard that everyone else responded, so he nodded and followed him.
Xin Lie immediately ran towards the next person, and with the roars, the number of followers around him increased one by one; on the other side, Cheng Lei also successfully invited Huang Yu and the other two people, and the two groups gathered together, and ten people formed A small team.
At the same time, many people were awakened when they saw Xin Lie organized. If they encountered a pack of wolves, the tiger would also be torn into pieces! Not to mention that the leading wolf was probably the most ferocious animal here Everyone immediately formed groups in twos and threes. Some people wanted to join Xin Lie's team, but were not invited and could only look around anxiously; while Liu Yu and Lin Yi , Meng Qian, Ma He and others knew that because of that stinky bitch¡¯s coins, they would only be mortal enemies with that fool
Along the way, whenever Xin Lie looked at him, Liu Yu could feel the strong murderous aura. It was so strong that he could faintly smell the smell of blood. He knew that as long as there was a chance, Xin Lie would twist it off without hesitation. His neck! And now, the opportunity has come
"Everyone, listen to me!! Xin Lie is powerful and there are many of them. If there are a few of us in a group, we will definitely beKill them all one by one! ! We'd better get rid of them together first before¡ª"
Suddenly, a roar echoed through the school grounds. It was Liu Yu who shouted loudly. This was his chance to break Xin Lie's neck!
Everyone looked around, Liu Yu pointed to Xin Lie and continued to shout: "Xin Lie and his gang want to take all ten places. If we don't join together, we will definitely die! Come here, kill Xin Lie first -" Ma He was smart and knew that Xin Lie's overwhelming power was definitely not a good thing for him. He immediately raised his arms and responded: "Kill Xin Lie first!" Meng Qian also reacted and shouted the same loudly: "Kill Xin Lie first !" Lin Yi quickly raised his arms and shouted: "Kill Xin Lie first!"
Those four people are full of murderous intent, and they were able to move the stone pier in three steps yesterday. Their strength is not necessarily lower than that of Xin Lie; Liu Yu even ranked first in the literary test! Now that they are in a group, isn't it an obvious choice to join them or fight alone?
"One, two, three everyone gathered around them. Although they all had different ideas, thirteen people quickly gathered around Liu Yu, making a total of seventeen!
¡°Xin Lie, that¡¯s too bad!¡±, ¡°We only have ten people!¡±¡
Cheng Lei and others saw that the number of enemies on the opposite side was getting larger and larger, and fierce lights were constantly coming towards them. They couldn't help but feel frightened and anxious. They all looked at Captain Xin Lie, what should they do? ?
Xin Lie suddenly made a decision. He originally formed a team of ten people because he did not want any suspicion within the team. Everyone could fight with all their strength, but now it was not the right time He was not in a hurry. He thought about his words before suddenly shouting: " Those who want to die, come with them! Those who want to live, come with us¡ª"
The loud and powerful voice covered the school ground. For a moment, everyone's hearts tightened, and only Xin Lie's roaring words could be heard in their ears: "Let's eradicate Liu Yu and the others first, and then continue the competition. The injured will choose their opponents, and the game will be determined." Win or lose; the injured person decides whether the fight is limited or unrestricted! If anyone wants to quit, he can sit down to show his powerlessness and save his life!"
Everyone saw him beating his chest with such force that a "bang bang" sound was heard. His eyes were as hot as fire, and he shouted: "If you follow us, follow me! I, Xin Lie, can't say that I will protect your lives. But I will never betray anyone! I will never ignore death!!"
This, this no matter which camp they belong to, everyone has a big wave in their hearts. Some are excited, others are scared, and all kinds of thoughts arise. They know that Xin Lie saves people and kills eagles, and they also know that Liu The insidiousness and cunning of the Yu people
Looking at the development of the situation, the examiners above the school field had no intention of interfering. The one-eyed examiner sneered and chuckled: "That boy is indeed brave and resourceful, but after all, he is a little naive." Gai Kui next to him did not. say.
Liu Yu rolled his eyes. The rumor had been spread yesterday, buthe laughed: "Hahaha! Do you believe it!? Xin Lie just wants to use everyone to save the ten of them! Besides, he is seriously injured, where to go? , everyone has thought clearly!!¡±
Now everyone was even more hesitant. The young people who originally wanted to go to Xin Lie stopped. Even Cheng Lei and others were shouting: "If you don't believe Xin Lie, how can you believe those villains?", "His character!" , you all saw it!", "Xin Lie and I will rush to the front!"
Everyone looked at each other in shock. In fact, it had nothing to do with whether they believed it or not. Xin Lie had offended the examiner before, and now Gai Kui said "it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies" and he said "he will keep his life." Who allowed him to do that? There were few people, and he was indeed injured Besides, as the saying goes, fishing in troubled waters, if Xin Lie's group won, they might not have much chance, but on Liu Yu's side
Thoughts were mixed. Among the remaining seven people, only one ran towards Xin Lie; four of them turned to Liu Yu's team one after another. The most important thing was that they did not think that Xin Lie's ten people could defeat Liu Yu's seventeen people. Now twenty one person!
However, there was a new change. After some hesitation, a commoner boy in Liu Yu's team decided to switch to Xin Lie's side. However, when he took a few steps, Lin Yi, who noticed it, immediately shouted angrily: "You are not allowed to leave, who is it?" If we are going over, who should we kill first!" Ma He clenched his fists, Liu Yu glared at the young man, glanced at everyone, and said coldly: "Go over if you want to die!"
The young man gritted his teeth, but quickened his pace, obviously determined to leave.
"Damn it!" Meng Qian rushed forward with a fierce face, and slapped him hard with her palm, bang!
The young man was stunned. Meng Qian slapped him several times, then stretched out his hand to tear off the peace charm he wore around his neck. While pushing him, he said in a deep voice: "Those who follow Xin Lie will die." ¡ª¡ª!" Before he finished speaking, the peace charm was thrown to the ground, and then stepped into the snow with the sole of his shoe.
At the same time, everyone in Xin Lie's party decided on the main and auxiliary personnel for the upcoming battle. Seeing that Cheng Lei was trembling, Xin Lie asked, "Are you scared?" Cheng Lei glanced at him and shook his head as if feeling something. Shaking his head: "Everyone in the world kills each other, so why does it matter if there is one more of me?"Xin Lie closed his eyes, and the blood all over his body was burning and boiling. He could finish part of what he swore to himself yesterday
He opened his eyes and saw the ferocious faces of Liu Yu, Lin Yi, Ma He, Meng Qian and others. He took a step forward and said softly: "It depends on the reason for killing"
At this time, everyone saw Xin Lie walking straight across the middle line between the two sides and walking towards Liu Yufang. No matter which camp he belonged to, everyone couldn't help but wonder, what is he going to do? Then Xin Lie first pulled away the boy in civilian clothes, and then punched Meng Qian in the face, bang! Then he pushed him to the ground and attacked wildly with his fists and feet! Meng Qian, who was nearly knocked unconscious by the punch, could not dodge at all, and could only scream: "Ah, ah, ah"
He immediately raised his right foot again and stepped on Meng Qian's face, click! Immediately another kick, and another kick
"Ah, ah" As he stepped on his feet, Meng Qian's screams became weaker and weaker, and his bloody head sank into the snow. When Xin Lie stepped on his neck without mercy, there was a sound of bones breaking, and Meng Qian was no longer breathing and died.
Thirty-three people remain!
There was an eerie silence in the school grounds. Under the eyes of everyone, Xin Lie glanced at them and said coldly: "Everyone will die, but those who don't follow Xin Lie will die first¡ª¡ª!"
"Damn!", "It hasn't started yet!", "Xin Lie, stop!" Liu Yu and others were already jumping and screaming with anger. After a moment's hesitation, Meng Qian only had half his life left. Save They can't be saved. They all looked at the examiners above, as if they hoped to get "fairness", but Gai Kui didn't say anything. Maybe the examination had already begun.
The remaining two neutral boys were covered in cold sweat. They thought it would be better to join Xin Lie's side. They looked at the commoner boy who ran into Xin Lie's camp with a happy expression, and then looked at Xin Lie not far away. People hurriedly shouted: "Xin Lie, I join, I join!", "I join too!"
"You are not worthy!" Xin Lie's eyes were cold. These two people were also part of yesterday's money grab. He kicked his feet, made knife-like gestures with his hands, and rushed towards them, his murderous intent revealed, "Ahhh¡ª¡ª"
"It's started, kill!" Seeing that Xin Lie didn't care whether he started or not, Liu Yu knew he couldn't wait any longer. He shouted, raised his arms high, and shouted while rushing: "Kill Xin Lie first!" He immediately shouted: "Kill Xin Lie first!" Everyone reacted one by one, followed the team and rushed towards Xin Lie, then raised their arms and shouted: "Kill Xin Lie first!", "Kill Xin Lie first!", "Kill first Xin Lie, kill¡ª"
Seeing them charging with roars, everyone in Xin Liefang also clenched their fists and stepped forward to attack, "Ahhhh¡ª¡ª", "Kill ahhhh¡ª¡ª"
In an instant, shouts of killing enveloped the mountain peak.
Twelve, versus, twenty-one!
The flames of war are burning all over the school grounds!
