Chapter 9 9 Novice Village Dungeon (About) Trial and Amulet...

Reiki Resurrection Year Zero, November 1, 7:46, Friday, Longyuan Academy.

The practical class teacher is seriously introducing the precautions and assessment standards for the midterm exam.

Last weekend, Chu Qingge didn't have the chance to cover for the other child because neither he nor Yan Yian got much sleep, having taken turns sleeping on the sofa for two nights in a row.

The taking of turns is reflected in who falls asleep first while the other is writing or drawing enthusiastically.

Ning Changkong yawned. He had stayed up all night for several nights in a row and only had a good night's sleep yesterday. He felt a little sleepy.

Pain and fatigue are important indicators of your own condition during battle, and you cannot block them all out at this moment.

Zuo Langning, who was sitting on the side with a sword in his arms and expressionless, moved his eyes slightly and glanced at him.

Ning Changkong's neck shrank: "Why is she here?"

Chu Qingge answered, "Longyuan Academy used the Mountain and River Map. Among all the magic weapons that create trial illusions, this has the highest specifications and can accommodate the largest number of people. It requires an expert to guard it when it is opened and operated."

Ning Changkong was shocked: "As the leader of a big sect, how can she find so much time to come and work overtime? - And why does she want to help the academy?"

Chu Qingge: "That's a long story... Don't you think she's too young to be the leader? I can only say that, logically, this job should be done by young people of her generation."

"As for the motive, guess how many talents Longyuan Academy sends to the major sects every year?"

The sect and the academy have such a cooperative relationship...

Ning Changkong pondered and turned to look at the scroll-shaped magic weapon.

The map of mountains, rivers, and the state was drawn by Nuwa. It contains heaven and earth and can give birth to all things. It is indeed an excellent trial field.

In front is the Queen Mother's Kunlun Mirror, and in the back is the Mountain, River and State Map of the Nuwa. Longyuan Academy is really rich in collections, no wonder the treasure house is not allowed to enter.

The teacher was introducing the Shanhe Shejitu (Map of Mountains, Rivers, States and Land), and the students were moving slowly to receive the amulets.

Ning Changkong carefully looked at the new amulet. It was finely crafted, with intricate runes engraved on it.

This is an "Aura camera" that records their battle process and is also the last guarantee of their safety.

Once seriously injured, the amulet will automatically activate, teleporting them away, but can also be activated proactively before taking damage.

Ning Changkong commented: "It sounds like they are just trying to get out of control. I bet 50 cents that it will be useless if they enter."

Chu Qingge sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it. The more delicate something is, the easier it is to go wrong."

Before using his spiritual power to enter the Mountain, River, and State Map, Ning Changkong stepped on the ground imperceptibly, leaving behind a warning spell.

Zuo Langning, who had been paying attention to him, said: "......"

No, what is this kid worried about?

Only a specially made amulet with the same Turing power as the mountains, rivers, and states can communicate between the inner and outer worlds. How can he send the signal out?

Zuo Langning found it funny in his heart, but his expression became more serious.

Accidents were common during illusionary experiences, and she had friends of the same generation who had been seriously injured during experiences... But those were magic weapons from small sects, and the amulets that the Research Department of the Alien Bureau had specially made for Longyuan Academy could reduce the risks to a minimum.

No one has been seriously injured in the past ten years... However, it's always good to have an extra layer of insurance and if she can be more careful.

Zuo Langning sat a little straighter.

The year zero of the spiritual energy revival, November 1, 8:01, inside the Shanhe Sheji map.

If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen.

Ning Changkong got up from the ground and patted his pants.

"It has already been released." Chu Qingge broke his fantasy. "I have determined that the Mountain and River Society Map has changed from trial mode to attack mode. The reason is unknown."

She added, "Also, the connection with the warning spell outside has been cut off."

"... Show me the way. Which direction are the three of them in?"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Are you okay?" Gu Minghui helped up Yan Xiaoling, who was sitting on the ground in shock.

Yan Xiaoling clutched the amulet tightly, and the jade pendant under her collar felt slightly warm. "Nothing, I just feel a little weird."

It was as if she was being stared at by something. She recalled the moment she stepped into the scroll, the feeling of being watched that made her shudder all over, and shuddered again.

"Lin Jinsong is not with us?" Wen Qingsheng stood aside holding a sword, looking around. Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view. He was about to shout: "Lin——"

An arrow whizzed past, and a monster's scream was heard behind it.

He looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that ten steps away from him, the disguised spell was broken, and a snake demon with a seven-inch pierced through it was twitching on the spot.

Wen Qingsheng turned his head suddenly, only to see that Lin Jinsong had put away his bow and arrow, his face looking incredibly cold.

Lin Jinsong shouted, "Follow me closely!"

The year zero of the spiritual energy revival, November 1, 8:06, inside the Shanhe Sheji map.

The four people in the library had just gathered together, and the murderous atmosphere had not yet subsided when Ning Changkong spoke up and asked in a low voice: "Who among you has been targeted?"

He led the way with a bow and arrow on his back, his hands behind his back, a warning talisman between his fingertips.

The talisman paper used for reconnaissance has turned completely black.

The atmosphere became more solemn.

"I think it was me." Yan Xiaoling whispered, "When I entered the scroll, I felt like I was being watched by something."

Chu Qingge interrupted: "Her jade pendant has completely turned white."

Ning Changkong asked in his mind: "Do you have any information?"

"I can't tell what the jade is. There are too many things related to white jade... But the boss of this instance should be the vengeful spirits of the three demons from Xuanyuan Tomb."

The three demons in Xuanyuan Tomb were originally ordered by Nuwa to confuse King Zhou, but they disobeyed the order and helped Zhou to commit atrocities. When they fled to Xuanyuan Tomb, they were caught by Nuwa and executed on the spot.

They are: Nine-tailed Fox Spirit, Nine-headed Pheasant Spirit and Jade Pipa Spirit. The most famous one is the Nine-tailed Fox Spirit who replaced Su Daji.

Chu Qingge: "Logically speaking, this instance shouldn't be this difficult. It should be the result of the scroll switching to attack mode."

Ning Changkong took a deep breath and whispered to the three people: "Let's go to Youhuang Village. I will lead the way."

The formal combat courses at Longyuan Academy are all elective, and the basic required practical courses do not force everyone to take the initiative to fight.

The way to avoid fighting and get high scores is in the paradise-like town in the Shanhe Shejitu, the secluded bamboo village hidden in the bamboo forest.

There is a secret formation outside Youhuang Village, which will automatically dissolve after the first hour. The strength of the monsters in the trial mode increases over time, forcing students to practice basic self-defense combat in the first hour at the lowest monster strength and density.

Of course, it is also possible to crack the secret formation and enter within the first hour. Ning Changkong recalled what Yan Yian said to him during the chat.

She said that her second senior brother cracked the secret formation in less than 30 minutes. The formation was a one-time thing, and after it was cracked, it would show "Youhuang Village can be entered" on everyone's amulet.

"This is the treatment of the whole server broadcast, but it is a fixed format and no names are written, otherwise he would be embarrassed to death." Yan Yian said at the time, "I was also there at the time and was shocked. I thought my watch was slow..."

Now we can only hope that Chu Qingge can crack the message sending mechanism and inform all students of the danger.

And I hope that the formation of "The Place Where War Stops" in Youhuang Village is still functioning and can stop all fighting outside the village.

After being immersed in his own thoughts for a while, Ning Changkong finally realized that the atmosphere in the small group was too depressing. He tilted his head slightly and added, "Don't be afraid. The more you are afraid, the more chaotic it will be."

His current ability should be at the level of a graduate from Longyuan Academy. Being the nanny of the protagonists should be... more than enough, hmm.

Chu Qingge complained in a low voice: "Every time I think about this, something bad happens."

"Yeah..." Ning Changkong stared straight ahead, thinking, "Yeah."

They hurried on in silence.

Year Zero of the Resurrection of Aura, November 1, 8:15, Mountains, Rivers, and States, Bamboo Forest Outside Youhuang Village.

Ning Changkong was just about to start breaking the formation according to Chu Qingge's reference answer when suddenly there was a strange movement coming from the front.

“Help!”

A student wearing the Longyuan Academy uniform came out from the bamboo forest nearby, crying. Gu Minghui asked curiously, "Xiao Chen?"

The sharp arrows were shot out of the bowstrings, and the swords were unsheathed. One of the two monsters chasing Xiao Chen had its brain pierced by Lin Jinsong's arrows, and the other had its head chopped off by Wen Qingsheng's sword flying in the air.

Ning Changkong, who was about to draw his arrow, shouted, "Don't let go of the sword—"

At this moment, something strange happened.

A giant chicken with nine heads condensed out of thin air and bit towards Yan Xiaoling's chest.

Wen Qingsheng, who was guarding this side, had not yet returned with his sword.

Damn it, freshmen are still too inexperienced! The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Ning Changkong could only aim at the pheasant and shoot this arrow, and then shoot two more in a row.

Three arrows filled with spiritual power stifled the pheasant spirit's forward movement. Reluctantly, it turned its feathers into blades, and a flash of cold light shot straight into Yan Xiaoling's chest.

If he was hit, it would be fatal! Ning Changkong gritted his teeth and pushed Yan Xiaoling away, taking the blow himself.

The feather broke through his protective shield without any hindrance and shattered the scapula on his left shoulder. Ning Changkong turned pale in pain.

It’s that special evil power again...!

The pheasant demon failed in its attack and its figure disappeared into the air.

Everything happened so fast.

Blood gushed out of the wound, staining a small area of ​​the ground red. Ning Changkong fell to the ground, holding his shoulder, and the few people who were frozen in place finally moved.

Wen Qingsheng hurriedly held him and put the flying sword back into the scabbard.

Yan Xiaoling's face was pale as she mechanically threw a hemostatic spell at him. Student Xiao Chen ran over breathlessly and threw a few healing spells at him as well.

They are still just children, Ning Chang sighed in his heart.

"Don't talk for now and save your energy." Gu Minghui activated Lin Jinsong's amulet.

The amulet lit up for a moment, then went out. The other three members of the group were all stunned.

"It's useless," Xiao Chen sobbed, showing the amulet he had hidden, "I've already tried it."

No one reacted to this, they just went about their business mechanically, as if that would put the terrible possibility behind them.

The bleeding finally stopped. After the treatment, Chu Qingge turned up his pain shielding.

The evil spirit eroded his spiritual power. Ning Changkong recovered from the excruciating pain and sighed tiredly. He said with all his strength, "That is one of the three monsters in Xuanyuan Tomb, the nine-headed pheasant spirit."

He briefly told the story of the three monsters in Xuanyuan Tomb.

The atmosphere was stagnant, and great panic gripped the hearts of these young people.

Xiao Chen's tears were still flowing. He said that he was not good at fighting, so he planned to hide near Youhuang Village and rush in to complete the tasks and earn points as soon as the secret formation was opened.

"I asked my seniors, and they all said that no monsters dared to come near Youhuang Village, so I just needed to find a hole to lie down... How could this happen..."

He muttered, trying to wipe his tears with his sleeves soaked with blood, "I haven't heard them talk about the three demons or anything like that..."

It seems that the effect of "the place to stop the war" may not still exist, and Ning Changkong's throat tightened.

"Don't cry, be careful not to attract some monster over here." Ning Changkong staggered and supported Wen Qingsheng's shoulder and tried to stand up.

Wen Qingsheng supported him: "I'll carry you."

Ning Changkong climbed onto his back obediently and commanded, "Let's go to Youhuang Village."

He quickly explained his thoughts: first, he wanted to use the server-wide broadcast to inform the whole server of the situation, and second, he wanted to take refuge in the "place where the war stops" formation.

If the "Standing Place" formation is not working, repair it and activate it again.

"Let's go. I'll tell you the solution, and you guys solve the maze."
