Chapter 472 474 Canyon
Before selecting the companions, Rong Xianxian specifically told everyone what happened to Xiao Luo in school a few days ago, and made it clear to them that the purpose of selecting companions was not to cultivate talents, but simply to protect Xiao Luo and Xuan Xuan. They must stay by their side at school and be prepared to step forward in case of crisis.
Of course, children who are willing to accept this task can get a generous reward and some additional rewards.
Rong Xianxian had a very clear purpose in selecting a tutor. Many parents who were originally interested in pursuing the idea backed off unconsciously after hearing those requirements and thinking about their own children's personalities.
There are naturally many benefits for the child to have a good relationship with Xiao Luo and Xuan Xuan, but once this task is taken on, if Xiao Luo and Xuan Xuan have any accident, the whole family will probably be implicated.
Feng Mingyu just turned six years old. He is about the same height as Xuanxuan, so they are the same age. His parents died early, so he grew up with Feng Xingjia. The child living under someone else's roof is smart and clever. He has played with Xiaoluo and Xuanxuan. He was very happy to learn that he could go to school with Xiaoluo and Xuanxuan.
Although Zhong Yingying has a mother who is not very popular, she is very sensible and grateful. She often rushes to help with work. She is a smart and opinionated child. Rong Xianxian has a good impression of her.
Zhong Yingying is seven and a half years old. If she can pass the entrance examination of Feilong Academy, she should be admitted to the class for 6 to 7 year olds. Rong Xianxian was a little hesitant at first. The age gap still has a great impact on children's learning ability. What if Zhong Yingying feels that it is a waste of time to take classes with a group of children younger than her, and then has other ideas? Wouldn't that be troublesome?
After Zhong Yingying knew Rong Xianxian's concerns, she became very anxious and mustered up the courage to find her directly. She repeatedly assured her that she would protect Xiao Luo and Xuan Xuan's safety. After careful consideration, Rong Xianxian finally agreed.
With Feng Mingyu and Zhong Yingying around, Rong Xianxian felt much more at ease. As long as the two children were not left alone, the safety issue would be largely solved.
Ning Qingyun led the team to leave the capital and head northwest according to the instructions on the map. In the evening of that day, they arrived at an abandoned town called Hongye Town.
According to the original map, this town was originally built at the foot of the mountain and leaning against the mountain. However, now at the edge of the town is a huge canyon. The canyon is deep and strange cries can be heard from the bottom of the canyon from time to time, which is eerie and terrifying.
"Boss, did we take the wrong road?" Huo Ye couldn't help but ask when he saw Ning Qingyun frowning as he looked at the map in his hand.
The Grand Canyon blocked the road and vehicles were definitely unable to pass. If they wanted to move forward, they had to take a detour.
"You're right. This road is the shortest way to the destination. You stay in the town and wait for me. I'll be back after getting the things." Ning Qingyun looked at the dangerous red sign on the map. This road is indeed the shortest way to the destination, but it is also the most dangerous way. If he wants to take that safe route, the journey will be more than ten times longer, and he doesn't have that much time.
The great change is imminent and the situation in the capital is uncertain. He must get his things as soon as possible and rush back to the capital.
"Boss, you are going to act alone again! No, if you think the other brothers are too much of a burden, you can just take me with you! Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep well at night."
"No need to take you with me. I have another task for you and Chai Ming. There is no safe zone within hundreds of miles of this town. The monsters nearby are very dense. It will be very dangerous at night. You and Chai Ming should lead the team and hunt more monsters. We haven't collected enough money to buy the land yet!" Ning Qingyun patted Huo Ye's shoulder.
"Boss, don't think I can't understand your map. The canyon on the map is all red. Is it very dangerous?" Huo Ye asked worriedly.
"It's a bit dangerous, so it's more convenient for me to act alone." Ning Qingyun nodded.
At this time, Chai Ming also came over, with a dazed look on his face.
"Boss, the formation has been placed. I just went out to check. The yard where we are stationed has been completely covered up. If I didn't know how to break the formation, I almost wouldn't be able to come back!" Chai Ming didn't hear what Ning Qingyun had just said. When he saw him looking at him, he said excitedly.
"Is it so powerful? Our yard is quite large!" Huo Ye was also a little surprised. He had only heard from Yang Ping and others that the boss was good at setting up a formation, but he had never seen it himself.
Although it is just a basic concealment formation, it is very practical. After all, most monsters rely on vision to determine the location of their prey. As long as Huo Ye and his companions hide in the yard covered by the formation, they can escape the monsters' pursuit.
Early the next morning, Ning Qingyun and others arrived at the big canyon. They didn't know how long the canyon was, and the narrowest part looked to be more than ten meters wide. Ning Qingyun had already thought of a way to get through it. He asked Chai Ming to lead people to cut down the tall and sturdy tree at the edge of the canyon. Although the tree trunk was only seven or eight meters high, it was enough to serve as a stepping stone for a running start.
The original plan was very simple. Ning Qingyun took a running start and easily landed on the other side of the canyon. However, he did not expect that as soon as Ning Qingyun landed, the huge rock under his feet fell into the depths of the canyon with a "crack". The layer of ground connected to the boulder was like a thin layer of ice, and it shattered with a "crash". As the boulder fell rapidly, Ning Qingyun quickly threw out the Ruyi Wheel, which was stuck on the rock wall on the other side.
Huo Ye, Chai Ming and others were so nervous that they broke out in cold sweats, and they only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ning Qingyun climbing up the rock wall.
"Just now I wanted to jump over and wait for him while the boss wasn't paying attention. Fortunately I thought of Yunshan, so I didn't dare. Otherwise I would be down there now." Huo Ye said to Chai Ming with some fear.
"I used a telescope to look there before, and there was clearly solid ground over there. Who would have thought that it was actually a layer of soil crust? How was this kind of terrain formed?" Chai Ming felt that he could not understand.
"Roar, roar." Chai Ming and Huo Ye saw Ning Qingyun had walked away. Just as they were about to leave, they heard the roar of a monster coming closer and closer.
"Deputy Captain, there's a monster!" Seeing that there was a battle to be fought, Qi Sanbing excitedly drew out his weapon.
After the monsters showed up, Chai Ming instantly became nervous. They were a group of golden-eared wolf monsters. The hair on their ears was golden yellow. They were a size larger than ordinary wolf monsters, had sharp hearing, and were quick in action. Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy, the wolf king in the lead was obviously a level three monster.
"Brothers, we are short of money now. Level 3 monster is very valuable. We must not let it run away, do you understand?" Huo Ye shouted.
