Gu Xingmian took out his own small treasury with a "grunt".

Looking at the full of auxiliary cards, Xiao Qiong was stunned. He knew that Gu Xingmian and Clement were doing business in the black market to earn auxiliary cards, but Gu Xingmian just mentioned it briefly at the time. He thought there would be at most a dozen or twenty cards. He didn't expect there would be so many. Did he directly rob someone's warehouse? !

(Gu Xingmian: Really...)

Seeing that Xiao Qiong remained silent, Gu Xingmian coughed lightly: "I didn't hide it from you on purpose, it's just... personal property privacy, do you understand?"

Xiao Qiong said lightly: "Yeah."

Gu Xingmian looked at his expression and couldn't tell whether he was angry or not, so he could only give up: "I didn't eat the auxiliary cards you gave me later. If you want them, I'll return them to you now."

"No need." Xiao Qiong frowned slightly, "I don't need them, those were originally for you."

After Gu Xingmian confessed to him, he kept saying that he didn't need to give her auxiliary cards anymore, and that he should return the previous ones to him. Xiao Qiong understood what he meant and understood, but his method made the two of them too clearly separated, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing Xiao Qiong's cold face, Gu Xingmian sighed, not knowing what he was uncomfortable with.

However, he had something important to do, so he did not argue with Xiao Qiong. He took out a few cards at random, washed them and put them in his mouth.

Xiao Qiong suddenly called him: "Don't worry, we still have time, don't hurt yourself."

Gu Xingmian looked at him blankly.

Logically, Xiao Qiong should be more concerned about this matter than he was. Since he discovered his skills, he has always been calm and indifferent, as if he didn't care much.

Even though he was dragged down by him later, Xiao Qiong never said anything, let alone forced him to find his own skills. He just silently endured the consequences of every failure.

It would be fine if Xiao Qiong was a person who didn't care about winning or losing, but Gu Xingmian had seen how strong his desire to win was.

Several times, Gu Xingmian saw Xiao Qiong studying topographic maps alone and secretly practicing physical skills, but he never let himself know about these things. Xiao Qiong's silent tolerance made him feel an indescribable feeling in his heart. "What's wrong?" Xiao Qiong noticed that he was in a bad mood and asked. Gu Xingmian came back to his senses and showed his usual cheerful smile: "It's okay, let's get started!" Xiao Qiong

felt that there seemed to be something hidden under his smile, but he didn't say it, so he didn't ask again. Gu Xingmian calmed down and chewed on a supporting card. The exquisite cards turned into a pile of dregs in an instant. Although Xiao Qiong had seen Gu Xingmian eat auxiliary cards, he couldn't help but feel a heart attack every time he saw him so vigorous. Gu Xingmian ate four cards in a row. This was the first time he ate so many at one time. Usually, eating one auxiliary card a day was enough for the day's consumption. If it was a higher-level auxiliary card, it could even last for two days. By the time he ate the fifth card, the feeling of wanting to vomit came back. Gu Xingmian's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked Xiao Qiong to try again. Although the result was a failure, he found that the star map seemed to be more complete. Two consecutive attempts gave Gu Xingmian a splitting headache and a feeling of being drained of his spirit. But realizing that he was on the right track, he became excited again. "I feel that 70 to 80 percent of the star map has appeared. If you calculate it this way, one auxiliary card can show at least 1%. If you take four auxiliary cards a day, that's 4 to 5%. I think four to five days, or at most a week, should be enough!" Xiao Qiong was also excited. It's impossible to say that he is not interested in Gu Xingmian's skills, but he has long discovered that under Gu Xingmian's carefree appearance, there is an extremely sensitive heart. If he shows that he cares, Gu Xingmian may not say anything on the surface, but he doesn't know what he will do in private. Maybe he will stuff a bunch of auxiliary cards into his mouth like today without caring about it. Seeing Gu Xingmian unable to close his eyes, still imagining how he would sweep the four-school league with his amazing skills, Xiao Qiong felt helpless and amused. He touched Gu Xingmian's head: "I know, go to sleep." Gu Xingmian: "You touched my head again! You can't touch a man's head, you know... ZZZZ" Xiao Qiong saw that he fell asleep while talking, so he shook his head helplessly and gently put him into his spiritual body. He himself did not realize that his expression was so soft, and his spiritual body also became warm and soft. Gu Xingmian smacked his lips, turned over, and his brows gradually relaxed. Since finding the direction of his skills, Gu Xingmian has completely lost his previous stubbornness, and even attended classes more actively than before. The two of them also gradually found their own tacit understanding through repeated running-in. They can guess what the other person is doing and make the most appropriate response without even eye contact. In addition to tacit understanding, Gu Xingmian is also working hard to exercise and improve his physical fitness. From letting Xiao Qiong carry the entire route at the beginning, to later, he could hold on to half of the route by himself, and now, he can barely complete the entire route by himself. Xiao Qiong can attack more often, and the pressure is not as great as before. After taking terrain classes during the day, Gu Xingmian would take auxiliary cards when he came back at night, and try new skills with Xiao Qiong. The daily schedule was very fulfilling. Gu Xingmian also gradually got rid of his previous anxiety and inferiority, became more and more confident, and even found the fun of fighting. "We were just a little bit away from reaching the ninth type of terrain today! What a pity!" Gu Xingmian couldn't help but sigh when he recalled the situation at that time. Xiao Qiong heard this and said, "There is nothing wrong with the strategy you formulated. There were some mistakes in the execution. Try it again tomorrow and there will be no problem!" Eric said disappointedly, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been a little slow, maybe we could have passed it..." Gu Xingmian hurriedly comforted him, "It's not your fault. It's mainly because you were injured in the previous terrain, otherwise you wouldn't be so slow!" Eric scratched his hair, "These traps are really annoying. If Mushroom had enough spores, we would definitely be able to find all the traps." "Today in the snowy mountain terrain, Mushroom wasted too many spores..." Fufeng Lin also reviewed, "But the benefits of spores in the snowy mountain terrain are a bit low..."

Song Nanting said: "The difficulty of the snowy mountain terrain is that you must find the snow monsters in advance and kill them, so as not to trigger an avalanche, but the snow monsters will scream once they are discovered, which is very troublesome..."

A classmate hurriedly said: "I can do this! Xingmian said that the weakness of the snow monsters is the eyes, and my God Card is the emperor bee. I can pierce the bee stinger into its eyes and kill it before the snow monster finds it!"

"If there are more snow monsters, I can also help..." Another classmate jumped in.

...

Nina looked at them in a trance.

At the beginning, everyone still abided by the rules, acted independently, and did not dare to help each other. Every time after class, only a few familiar people would discuss how to pass the level.

When did it start to become like this?

It seems that when passing through the mountain terrain one time, everyone was helpless against the newly emerged plants.

Gu Xingmian suddenly shouted, "This is ground grass. They judge their prey by the vibration of the ground, but they are afraid of cold. Once the temperature drops below 0 degrees, they will hibernate!"

After that, he added, "Xiao Qiong! This is for you to hear. Do you understand? If not, I will say it again!"

Xiao Qiong's face was full of speechlessness, but he still cooperated and said, "It was windy and I didn't hear it clearly. Say it again."

Gu Xingmian said it again, and then sighed, "If there were ice and snow auxiliary cards, we could freeze them..."

One of the classmates' God Card skills happened to be related to ice and snow. As soon as Gu Xingmian finished speaking, the God Card immediately rushed over and sprayed a burst of frost towards the ground grass.

Then a group of people inexplicably passed through the mountainous terrain.

They said that this was to help each other, but they were going to pass through this way in the first place, and the others just "followed" and passed through, barely taking advantage of the loopholes. Just like Gu Xingmian's reminder, this boundary is difficult to judge.

Wright was helpless and finally had to let it go.

At this point, everyone had a tacit understanding, and even discussed it openly after class.

Nina still hesitated, but Gu Xingmian's charm was too great, and Molly changed sides quickly.

And this did speed up the progress. After Nina tasted the sweetness, she quickly gave up her principles.

Behind them, Wright, who saw all this, said to Dai Baiyu unhappily: "These brats really don't take me seriously. They are discussing cheating so loudly?!"

Dai Baiyu said lightly: "Teacher Wright, don't laugh when you say this, maybe it will be more credible."

Wright immediately smoothed his raised mouth corners: "Did I laugh? You must have seen it wrong..."

Dai Baiyu: "..."

He was sure that these students must have learned the ability to lie with their eyes open from Teacher Wright.

"We teachers are just to let them understand various terrains, not to embarrass them." Wright tried to explain (jiao) (bian), "and you have to admit that their progress is much greater than we thought."

"That's right." Dai Baiyu admitted, but his eyes subconsciously looked at Gu Xingmian.

Wright said quickly: "Xingmian just started from a low point, but he has been making progress!"

Dai Boyu was silent for a moment: "His progress is the most unexpected to me."

From stumbling at the beginning, to relying on Xiao Qiong, and now relying on himself to keep up with the main force, and even taking the initiative to attack.

He changes almost every day.

Although Gu Xingmian may still be very weak now, Dai Boyu has begun to look forward to his growth.

Wright was a little surprised: "I thought that Instructor Dai didn't like Gu Xingmian very much."

Dai Boyu has always been cold and stern. Compared with Wright's kindness, his classmates are very afraid of him. So far, only Xiao Qiong and Song Nanting have been praised by him.

And Gu Xingmian, apart from the halo of the UR card, is even weaker than the junior students who have just entered school.

Dai Baiyu glanced at him coldly: "Am I that kind of superficial person?"

He left after saying that, leaving Wright alone, who was slow to react.

Dai Baiyu, what do you mean? ! You are saying that I am superficial in a roundabout way!

A new day is coming soon.

All the students stood at the entrance with confidence. After these days of continuous attempts, they are already familiar with the nine types of terrain ahead, and there is a high probability that they can pass directly today.

Wright scanned the high-spirited faces, and a gratified expression flashed across his face.

"Let's start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fufeng Lin rushed in with Gugu in his arms. Gugu skillfully released spores, and the blue spores slowly covered the entire map. The blue information flow continued to enter Gugu's body.

Fufeng Lin walked and said: "The trap at the seven o'clock direction is moving, the one o'clock direction is safe, the trap at the ten o'clock direction..."

The others were one step slower than him, and relying on his "unintentional" broadcast, they passed quickly, and everyone was unharmed, and the cooperation was extremely tacit.

Wright in the monitoring room looked at his watch: "Six minutes and nineteen seconds, if we can keep this speed, maybe they can really get through today."

"Not necessarily." Dai Baiyu said, "You forgot that Fred is afraid of water."

Wright suddenly realized.

Fred and his God Card Ella are very powerful and perform well in any kind of terrain, except when they encounter river terrain, they always fail.

The river terrain is not difficult compared to other terrains, as long as they can deal with the hammerfish in the river and then swim across.

They can just take advantage of the hammerfish, and Wright can turn a blind eye. But if Fred can't swim across by himself, but relies on other classmates to carry him across, such a blatant violation of the rules, Wright will never tolerate it.

And the river terrain at this time.

Fred looked at the rushing river in front of him, his face pale, and Ella, who was lying on top of him, was so stiff that she was about to faint.

Before coming in, Fred prepared himself mentally.

He kept telling himself that water wasn't that scary, he could just swim across it. And recently everyone had been teaching him to swim privately, and he could swim back and forth in the pool yesterday.

But when he actually stood by the river, looking at the turbulent river, he was reminded again of the time when he fell into the water during the previous competition with Xiao Qiong.

Although he was quickly rescued by Xiao Qiong at that time, he could not forget the fear of having no foothold and could only watch the water flow over his head, and it invaded his heart again.

Ella lay on top of him and trembled.

Although he did not enter Fred's spiritual body, this fear seemed to be conveyed to Fred.

He subconsciously took a step back.

Give up, admit that you are a waste, admit that you can't overcome your fear of water...

No, no, I want to win, I want to participate in the four-school league...

Two completely opposite voices fought wildly in Fred's head.

He raised his head, but saw other students passing by on the other side waiting for him quietly.

He shouted desperately: "Don't wait for me! Go!"

He couldn't stand failure, and couldn't stand it because he caused everyone to fail.

After saying this, Fred covered his face, not wanting them to see his weakness and pain.

"Fred!" Song Nanting said in a deep voice, "Listen, it took us 34 minutes and 11 seconds to pass the first five terrains today. According to our previous calculations, as long as the time for the first five terrains is controlled within 40 minutes, we have a great chance of passing the terrain course."

Fred thought she was going to give up on him. Although he knew rationally that this was right, he was still discouraged: "I know we had a smooth day today, so you shouldn't wait for me, let's go!"

The gentle smile on Song Nanting's face disappeared, and he said coldly: "So, you still have 5 minutes and 49 seconds to catch up with us."

Fred put down his hand and looked at her in a daze.

"Wait!" Gu Xingmian interrupted Song Nanting, "I have seen all the plants in the mountainous terrain. This time I can recognize them faster, um... I can save at least 30 seconds."

Song Nanting glanced at him, and Gu Xingmian blinked at her. She sighed and said to Fred, "Except for the time to talk, you still have 6 minutes and 9 seconds."

"I have been getting along better with our emperor bees recently, and I can also save 30 seconds in the snowy mountain terrain!"

"I can probably save 15 seconds..."

"And me, saving 20 seconds is no problem..."

After everyone finished speaking, Song Nanting looked at Fred and spoke slowly and clearly.

"Now, you have 8 minutes and 4 seconds to cross this river."

Fred stared at his classmates blankly, and he covered his face again, but this time, the expression under his palm was resolute.

He raised his hand and touched Ella on top of his head, and whispered: "Ella, let's try again, okay?"

The little flying squirrel was still trembling, but he grabbed Fred's hair tightly.

Fred hissed in pain: "Okay, okay, I know your determination!"

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, kicked his legs hard, and jumped into the river.

The cold river water rushed in from all directions, as if it could drown him in an instant. There was nothing to support his hands and feet. He was so weak and small in the rushing river.

Fred panicked and his body sank in an instant.

The students on the other side were all worried.

Fortunately, Fred's body floated up again soon, and Ella was wet on his head. Although he was very scared, the little flying squirrel still did not let go of Fred's hair.

Fred bit his cheeks tightly and paddled forward with both hands.

I don't know who started shouting, "Come on, Fred!"

Soon, the other side of the river was full of "Come on, Fred! Come on, Ella!"

However, fear was not so easy to overcome. Just when he was about to reach the shore, a small wave hit him. Fred's breathing suddenly became disordered, his body suddenly became uncoordinated, and the whole person was instantly submerged in the river.

"Fred!"

But Fred did not float up like before.

Nina couldn't help it and shouted, "Molly!"

The spider immediately understood what she meant, spit out a long spider silk and probed into the water to rescue Fred.

"If you help him, both of you will fail!" Song Nanting said in a hurried tone.

"I don't care about that!" Nina stared at the river, "I won't give up my teammates!"

"This is just training!"

"Training is the same!"

While they were arguing, Fred miraculously floated to the surface again. His face was as pale as paper, and his hands and feet were shaking as he pushed away the water.

Teacher Wright's voice had been heard above their heads, but it fell silent again.

Nina silently retracted the spider silk.

Encouraged by his classmates, Fred's eyes seemed to have more spirit, and he was getting closer and closer to the shore.

10 meters, 9 meters, 8 meters...

But at the last 5 meters, he ran out of energy and was washed down by the river again.

Just when everyone was regretful, something shocking happened.

Ella, who had been shivering above Fred's head, suddenly grew bigger, grabbed Fred's collar with his toes, and glided towards the shore.

His hair was wet, and because he was too tense, the white bones on his flying membrane were clearly visible.

5 meters, 4 meters, 3 meters...

With inertia, Ella and Fred fell heavily on the shore.

The classmates were stunned for a moment, then they ran over to help them up and cheered happily.

...

In the monitoring room, Wright looked at everything in front of him with a complicated expression.

Dai Baiyu patted him on the shoulder gently: "It seems that this time, they should be able to rush to the last level smoothly, and I should also make preparations."

...

At 78 minutes and 35 seconds, everyone passed the ninth terrain and finally stood at the door of the last level.

The joy and excitement of success lingered in everyone's heart.

Only Song Nanting, Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian remained calm.

Gu Xingmian said, "We have experienced the first nine terrains, but the tenth terrain has never appeared before. I am afraid it will be difficult."

"We have to pass it even if it is difficult." Song Nanting patted Amu's head, "Let's go, we will go together."

However, after entering the tenth terrain, it was beyond everyone's expectations.

They thought that the tenth terrain might be a place with an extremely harsh environment that no one has set foot on, or it might be a place with extremely dangerous dangers, but they had never thought that

what appeared in front of them was a flat road only ten meters long.

The end point representing victory was at the end of this road.

"Is this... is this true? The tenth terrain is so easy?!"

"Is it a reward because we had such a hard time before?"

"Don't be kidding, I don't believe that Mr. Wright, who has turned into a devil, would be so kind..."

"It can't be my hallucination..."

Just when everyone was hesitant, a figure appeared at the end of the road.

"Instructor Dai!"

Dai Baiyu walked towards them slowly, holding a thick stack of auxiliary cards in his hand.

In the eyes of everyone's disbelief, he spoke.

"The last level of the terrain class is me."
