Because the swamp is a gravitational field, no matter what comes over the swamp, there is only one result - it will fall.
And then I could never get up again.
Only swamp monsters born from the swamp can move freely in it.
In the past, those people wanted to kill the swamp monster, but the swamp monster was difficult to deal with. Although it looked slow, it actually moved very quickly, and its severed limbs could continue to regenerate, so it was impossible to kill it.
Unless the entire swamp can be destroyed in one go.
But that is impossible, because anyone who has this idea has been killed by the swamp monster.
Over time, this route has become a hellish death route that everyone deliberately avoids.
Many people who took the test knew this. After all, most of them came from aristocratic families, and there were quite a few people from aristocratic families who were able to enter the academy. This not-so-secret news naturally spread.
However, Xue Huan didn't know this. She was wondering why no one took this shortest route.
"Gulu--" The swamp monster uttered two meaningless syllables.
Xue Huan's animal heart communication hadn't been activated yet, so she understood what it said. It said, "Wait."
So she turned around.
The swamp monster handed over a ball of mud. The mud was the same color as its body, gray-green, and looked like a ball of moldy dough.
Xue Huan was embarrassed, "Are you going to give this to me?"
The swamp monster handed the mud to her again, and Xue Huan took it.
The mud was soft, cool, and flexible. It felt like plasticine, and there was no mud or water seeping out. Xue Huan took it and squeezed it, finding it quite fun. "Thank you."
She waved at it and headed towards the exit.
When she came out, she found that she was outside the tower after coming out of the maze, and she was the first one to come out.
Zeng Ce had already come out and was waiting, "Congratulations."
Xue Huan thanked him.
"You can go over there and sit and wait." Zeng Ce pointed to the bench in the red maple forest outside the tower.
The maple forest is as red as fire and as bright as the morning glow. It is a major landscape in the college. There are many benches and pavilions in the forest for people to rest.
When Xue Huan came, she wanted to go to the forest to take a look, and she happily went there after hearing this.
Another figure walked out of the tower. It was the young man with a strand of red hair, Xiao Jian.
Compared to when he entered, he looked a bit disheveled, but his expression was still as arrogant and defiant as ever. He glanced outside the tower and saw no one. "It seems I'm the first one out. Your assessment isn't that difficult after all."
Zeng Ce: "...I regret to tell you that you are not the first one out. The first one came out a quarter of an hour ago and is now enjoying the view in the maple forest."
Xiao Jian's expression froze, somewhat incredulous: "What did you say? Someone is faster than me? Who is it?"
After he finished speaking, he realized that there seemed to be something wrong with what he said.
"Number One, he has already won first place in two consecutive tests." Zeng Ce said with a smile, as if he was afraid that he was not stimulated enough.
Xiao Jian had some impression of that girl. She looked ordinary and he had never been able to remember people's faces, but he remembered her.
Although he is arrogant, he also knows that there are always people better than you. Although he is unhappy about being inferior to others twice in a row, what can he say when others get first place based on their own abilities?
Xiao Jian walked past Zeng Ce and headed towards the maple forest.
The third person to come out was Wang Qiubai. Before leaving, she put away the branch of the Mi Gu tree in her hand.
It was with the help of this branch that she was able to walk out of the complicated maze.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas states: "The first mountain in the Southern Mountains is called Que Mountain. Its head is called Zhaoyao Mountain... There is a tree there, its shape is like a valley with black veins, its light shines in all directions, and its name is Migu. Wearing it will prevent you from getting lost."
This maze tree is equivalent to modern navigation. With it, you will never get lost.
It also has live navigation. When you hold it in your hand, the branches and leaves will point in the right direction. You just need to follow the direction.
As a living navigation, the Migu Tree itself has the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, so Wang Qiubai took it and traveled very smoothly along the way.
Although he encountered some dangers, he was able to escape danger in the end thanks to the talismans and magic weapons on his body.
Like Xiao Jian, the first thing she did after coming out was to look around. She only saw Teacher Zeng waiting there, but no candidates. Naturally, she thought she was the first one to come out, and her chin immediately raised.
Unfortunately, her dream was soon shattered.
Zeng Ce: "Let's go to the maple forest over there and rest for a while. Candidates number one and five have already gone in."
Wang Qiubai: “…”
She wasn't first? Not even second?!
How could this be possible? She had walked all the way out holding the Migu Tree.
Wang Qiubai walked towards the maple forest aggressively. She wanted to see who had snatched the first place from her!
As she stepped into the forest, she suddenly smelled an alluring fragrance. She twitched her nose twice, and the fragrance became even more tempting.
She couldn't help but walk over there.
In the maple forest beside the lake, in the octagonal pavilion, Xue Huan and Xiao Jian were having a picnic.
When Xue Huan came out of the Tower of Babel, it was almost noon, time for lunch, so she came to the pavilion by the lake, took out the pre-prepared dishes from the space and placed them on the table. Facing the maple forest and lake view, she happily began to eat.
While she was eating, Xiao Jian came over. Seeing that she was eating, he should have avoided her, but when he smelled the tempting aroma wafting from the pavilion, he was inexplicably led to walk into the pavilion.
Now that he was already here, he pretended to have an arrogant expression as if "the pavilion is a public place and I can come here whenever I want", and sat down opposite.
Xue Huan had a hot pot with chicken feet and wings as the main dishes, and side dishes including mushrooms, cauliflower, kelp, bean curd sheets, beef balls, etc. She had a hot pot with a small stove under the pot and various side dishes placed next to it, which she could add as she ate.
As the food is slowly cooked over low heat, it becomes more flavorful and fragrant, with a hint of numbing spiciness. Just the smell of it is enough to make you salivate.
Xiao Jian was exhausted and felt around his body, but he only found a few pieces of pastries. He didn't know when they were put into the storage bag, but they had become dry and choked his throat when he ate them. They were nothing compared to what the woman opposite him was eating.
But it's better to eat something than just swallowing your saliva.
He ate up several pieces of cake while enjoying the spicy aroma wafting over from the other side.
Xue Huan noticed the glances the boy opposite her cast at her from time to time, the look of wanting to eat but restraining himself. She felt like laughing, "Would you like to come over and eat something with me? If you don't mind."
Of course, she was being modest.
She is still very confident about what she has made.
These words sounded like heavenly music to Xiao Jian's ears. He stood up in an instant and said, "Okay."
