Chapter 6 The Golden Tour Guide Who Asks for Directions
"We can't wait any longer." Liang Shixian said seriously, "If we wait any longer, we will be in danger."
"But...it's obviously safe here." Liu Neng said hesitantly.
Hearing this, Ji Ruo shook his head slightly.
I guess these two guys usually sleep during class. How come they don't understand anything?
Obviously, even he, a time traveler, knows the difference between day and night!
Liang Shixian patiently explained, "Safety may only be during the day. Generally speaking, monsters are divided into diurnal and nocturnal. Normally, nocturnal monsters are more aggressive and violent than diurnal monsters."
Ji Ruo added at the right time: "Also, we don't know why those green snakes suddenly stopped chasing us. Even if they are tired, after such a long rest, they should have slowed down... We must leave and find a new place to camp. Otherwise, when night falls, none of us knows what will happen."
Zhang Quan and Liu Neng looked at each other, seeming a little hesitant.
"I've waited so long..."
Ji Ruo said seriously: "It is precisely because I have waited for a long time that I have to leave.
As far as I know, in the martial arts examinations over the years, the rescue time of the patrolling martial artists would not exceed half an hour. Look, how long have you been waiting now?"
"That's... okay."
Several people decided to leave.
However, they were faced with a very serious problem. The secret realm of Wanshou Mountain seemed to have undergone some changes. The methods of identifying directions taught in school were no longer useful. So the serious problem of which direction to go made them stop in their tracks not long after they started walking.
"Uh... well, where are we going?"
Liu Neng asked weakly.
He discovered that Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian were both top students. Regardless of other things, at least their theoretical knowledge was absolutely solid.
However, what he didn't know was that when Liang Shixian asked this question, he was also in trouble.
To be honest, he didn't know where to go now...
Ji Ruo thought about it, took off one of his shoes and threw it into the sky.
In the slightly dazed eyes of the few people, Ji Ruo followed the guidance of the shoes and said:
"This way."
Liang Shixian felt a little toothache: "Ji Ruo, are you... serious?"
"Of course, it's up to fate to throw your shoes in the air and ask for directions. This is God's arrangement!" Ji Ruo raised his chin and said, "Do you have a better way?"
"Ah, this..."
Several people looked at each other, Liang Shixian sighed and said, "Okay, let's do as you say."
At the same time——
[Congratulations to the host for successfully guiding the way and unlocking the functional achievement: Gold Medal Tour Guide! ]
[Gained Features: Absolute sense of direction! ]
[Absolute sense of direction: When faced with a direction choice, a certain percentage of correctness will be obtained (currently 5%, which can be increased by repeated guidance, with a maximum value of 100%)]
【Note: Go explore, go witness, go possess! 】
Ji Ruo's eyes lit up.
Great!
Become a tour guide now!
"Captain, we are heading east, right?"
Liang Shixian's face looked a little unhappy: "Go towards the toe of the shoe."
“Ahem.”
Ji Ruo coughed and said, "Then follow me."
As he spoke, Ji Ruo picked up his shoes and put them on, then walked towards the direction where the toe of his shoes was originally pointing to the right.
"A little to the right. This is east."
"???"
You call this 'slightly to the right'? It's almost to the heel, how can it be called slightly?!
But Ji Ruo had no choice. The [Absolute Sense of Direction] he had just acquired allowed him to make a small correction when giving directions. Although it was not very accurate, it at least allowed Ji Ruo to know the approximate location.
"Ahem," Ji Ruo said awkwardly, "We don't know where to go anyway, right? I just think that asking for directions by throwing shoes at others is a little unreliable..."
“…”
You also know it’s unreliable!
Some people were too tired to complain.
But as Ji Ruo said, they actually didn't know which direction to go.
"Let's go, don't waste time. It will be dark if we waste time." Liang Shixian sighed and said.
Ji Ruo patted his chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, just listen to me, it will be right!"
After all, it is the characteristic of system rewards! The general direction must be correct!
Ji Ruo thought so, so he was very confident.
But he overlooked one point, that is, this current feature only has a 5% correction effect, so if the direction Ji Ruo guided is wrong, then the correct direction feedback he gets is actually only 5% of the correct direction.
If they left, no one would know that the opposite direction is indeed east, but it is southeast of south, and extremely south of south... Strictly speaking, if a direction is divided into 90 degrees, then the four directions of east, south, west and north are four rectangular coordinate systems.
This direction is actually only 5° away from the "coordinate system" of the south...
"Everyone follow me closely and don't get lost." Ji Ruo took the lead and walked in front, not forgetting to remind a few people.
"Got it." Liang Shixian just felt tired for a while. He felt that Ji Ruo was unreliable, but someone had to lead the team at this time.
Although he was the squad leader, he didn't know the correct direction. Moreover, if they had already chosen the direction and changed it again, it would only make several people stay in the same place or get completely lost.
Since I'm already lost, I might as well just keep going in one direction.
As a class monitor with excellent character and academic performance, Liang Shixian knew that although the secret realm of Wanshou Mountain was controlled by humans, the dangers that could be encountered in the area open to the martial arts examination would not exceed the limit that a sixth-level martial artist could withstand, in theory.
There are four of them now. Ji Ruo also knows Iron Sand Palm, and Liang Shixian himself is not weak either - at least within the range of sixth-level martial artists, he thinks he is not weak.
In short, as long as they don’t encounter group-living monsters like the previous group of green snakes, they will not be in too much danger.
Not to mention, there were two guys who activated the SOS device.
The inspectors will arrive at any time, so you don't have to worry too much even if you choose a random direction.
Therefore, Liang Shixian had no objection to Ji Ruo as the team leader.
His idea was actually correct, but what he didn't know was that the current Wanshou Mountain Secret Realm was different from the Wanshou Mountain Secret Realm of the past thirty-six years.
They walked for a few more hours, their waists and knees sore and their eyes dizzy.
I had been chased by the group of green snakes for so long, and the martial arts exam had already started for almost a day.
They hadn't eaten anything during the day and were already extremely hungry.
Ji Ruo rubbed his stomach and muttered, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have thrown away those green snakes. I could have eaten some game."
The military examination is a comprehensive test. Although candidates are allowed to bring weapons, they are not allowed to bring daily necessities such as food.
Survival in the wild is also an important part of the military examination.
Candidates must rely on themselves to survive until the end of the exam in this mountain of beasts that is like a primeval forest, which means they must survive for seven days.
Over the years, many candidates died of hunger in the military examinations. The rescue device can make some simple judgments, but if you are just hungry, you cannot activate this device - at least that's what the teacher said, but Ji Ruo always felt that he was fooling people.
Once the military exam begins, there is no turning back.
A warrior must have the courage to move forward!
“I’m so hungry!”
Ji Ruo couldn't help but complain.
Since he got the system, he has triggered three achievements in total. The triggering conditions were very trivial, so Ji Ruo also changed his style.
He regards himself as a child, and children will speak when they are hungry.
The younger ones will still cry.
"Just bear with it. If it doesn't work, we can eat grass." Liang Shixian said, "You can't eat fungi and monsters casually. It's easy to get poisoned. Let's find a place to camp first."
"well."
Ji Ruo sighed, but perhaps because he wanted to eat too much, ten minutes later, a blood-red rice field appeared in front of them...
