Chapter 739: The Foot of the Mountain
Zhou Fan just smiled slightly when he praised Huang Bujue and the others. He thought that if I were as strong as me, I would rather not take the exam.
Huang Bujue and Gu Yan did not ask Zhou Fan how he did it, but they had a clear understanding of Zhou Fan's strength, which made them feel much more relieved. At least if they encounter any danger in the future, they would not have to worry about Zhou Fan and be unable to use it.
A warrior who can kill a blood evil-level monster in such a short time is at least comparable to a martial arts warrior.
If there is really an enemy that can kill Zhou Fan before they solve the trouble in their hands, then all they can do is to run away quickly.
Therefore, it is obvious that Zhou Fan does not need them to take care of him.
The three of them scattered and found the palm-sized stomach bag from the rotten and smelly corpse of Xue Lao's corpse. This stomach bag was the only valuable and most precious material on Xue Lao's corpse.
The three of them gathered together. Even though it seemed a bit dangerous just now, the result was pretty good. Just the blood-level material could make a fortune for the three of them.
Zhou Fan was also a little emotional. If Huang Bujue and Gu Yan were not there, he might be able to kill the three-headed old corpse of Xue, but with Xue Laozi's strange stomach-sack dodging attack method, he would inevitably fall into a tough battle, and he might be injured in the end.
Of course, if it was too difficult, Zhou Fan would not be foolish in fighting against Xue Laozi, but chose to escape.
However, he felt a little regretful, because Huang Bujue and Gu Yan shared the risk for him, but the gray worms and the precious stomach bags of the two snow-old corpses were also taken away by Huang Bujue.
There is indeed nothing perfect in the world.
"Do you know what the use of this stomach bag?" Gu Yan asked with a smile again, interrupting Zhou Fan's thoughts.
"I know it is a main material that can be used to make storage bags." Zhou Fan recalled.
"Yes, this is its main purpose, but the refining of storage bags does not only require materials, but the most important thing is the refining of weapons refiners." Gu Yan sighed and said, "Although the storage bag looks quite convenient, it is too expensive. And it is not impossible for a warrior to use it, but it is not as simple as a Taoist cultivator..."
Actually, I only have a storage device that warriors can use... Zhou Fan answered silently in his heart, but his brain teasers in the Book of Storage is too crappy. If he can't remember the answer, he will not be able to open it within that day, so he can only put some expensive but not urgent things.
The three of them put away their respective materials. They subconsciously looked back. The ghost burial coffin was still following behind them. The battle just now could not affect it.
"It's really a ghost." Zhou Fan muttered a little annoyed.
Their location was in a mess, with trees collapsed, cracks appeared on the ice, and pits of varying sizes were even more common.
However, sooner or later, it will be covered by snowflakes. Zhou Fan and the other two did not stay where they were, but walked forward immediately. Such a big noise happened here, which may attract some teams of candidates or monsters.
The ice forest was dark and cold, and the three of them walked silently, and the ghost burial coffin behind them slowly followed them.
Zhou Fan listened to the sound of the black iron sled rubbing against the snow, and he lamented in his heart: It seems that it is not the old snow corpse, otherwise the ghost burial coffin should have left.
In fact, it is impossible for the old corpse of Xue. The fate of the lifeless person is at the level of life and death crisis.
Zhou Fan can only hope to come today, otherwise the trouble will be great.
Moving forward all the way, solving some monsters that suddenly attacked them, until sunset and dusk, the three of them finally walked out of this seemingly continuous ice forest.
The wind and snow in the world outside the ice forest gradually stopped, and the setting sun shone on the snow, reflecting the snow red, quiet and beautiful sunset snow scene.
But outside the wilderness, few warriors are in the mood to appreciate such beautiful scenery, after all, danger may come at any time.
Qianhuan Snow Mountain is close to you. The snow mountain looks like a magnificent and continuous snow wall, but the snow wall is a little tilted and looks bumpy, like it is covered with scars.
The clearings at the foot of the mountain are vast and desolate, and there is no trace of vegetation growing.
Zhou Fan and the other two looked around, and there was no one on the white snow.
But they all knew very well that the foot of the mountain that they saw from the ice forest was actually a vast circular area, and there must be many teams of candidates preparing to climb the mountain.
Because the candidate team should have a similar pace, no one will choose to take the risk of climbing the dangerous Qianhuan Snow Mountain in the dark, and they will choose to rest here.
But those candidates were careful to hide back to the edge of the ice forest and secretly peeked at the figures that might appear around. If the opportunity was right, they might be prepared to hunt other candidates like experienced hunters.
They are all warriors. In the face of huge interests, even candidates who are not old will not hesitate to eliminate other competitors.
At this time, it is like hiding in a black forest, and no one dares to shout loudly and expose their position. Doing this is undoubtedly no different from seeking death.
"I, Xiong Feixiu, are here, who dares to fight me!" A child's arrogant voice came from the east.
Zhou Fan couldn't help but cover his face, and he almost forgot that there would always be people who would act boldly by the rules.
"Are they all timid people as timid as mice?" Xiong Feixiu continued to shout.
"This Xiong's child..." Huang Bujue didn't know what to say.
"No one dared to rush over." Zhou Fan thought for a while, because everyone was afraid that this was a trap, but there would definitely be someone who couldn't help but test it.
Zhou Fan ignored this matter. Xiong Feixiu's naughty child relied on his entourage to be powerful, but in this environment, such an approach would be too bold. If there was really a candidate who could beat his two entourages, it would be too late for him to cry.
As for this is a trap set by Xiong Feixiu?
Zhou Fan still felt it was unlikely that Xiong Feixiu's mentally retarded child would not have such an idea at all, unless his two entourages spoke to him for advice, otherwise...
But the two entourages Xiong Feixiu were very strange, just like they were mutes.
Zhou Fan was thinking about something, and then he and Huang Bujue retreated into the ice forest.
They found a hidden place, then discussed it in a low voice, and then scattered around to investigate.
After reaching a certain range, Zhou Fan and the others retreated to the hidden place of the ice tree. The three people who came back from the investigation shook their heads, indicating that there was no sign of the activity of the candidate team in their direction.
The three of them relaxed and sat down.
Zhou Fan took out four talismans from the talisman bag, and he circled around and stuck the four talismans on the four ice trees.
The talisman emits a faint white light curtain, and the light curtains emitted by the four talismans are connected, forming a simple barrier.
In this barrier, all light can be blocked out, but from the outside, you can see that everything is as usual is ice forest. If you didn’t get close to the barrier, it would be difficult to find it.
Zhou Fan took out the luminous talisman from the talisman bag and stuck it on the iron beads. The originally dim space became transparent.
He then took out the talisman that could dispel the shadow monster and blended it into the luminous talisman bead.
In this way, the overnight work is considered to be initially prepared.
Zhou Fan breathed a sigh of relief without any reason. Fortunately, he prepared enough auxiliary talismans and other small things, otherwise it would be difficult to endure tonight at the foot of the densely packed team of candidates.
First of all, under the temperature of the ice forest, it is impossible to make a fire. Even if it is equipped with special wood burning, it can be ignited, but the effect will be greatly reduced. On the contrary, the luminous talisman is more suitable. Even if the price of the luminous talisman is more expensive, what is it worth spending some money in this situation?
Secondly, even if you prepare a luminous talisman, you may not dare to use it. The luminous talisman fusion with the yin flame talisman can dispel the shadow monsters hidden in the dark, but it may attract attacks from other candidate teams.
Therefore, there must be a means to block the light.
Otherwise, you can only use other means to spend the night in the dark night, which would be very troublesome.
Huang Bujue and Gu Yan were no longer surprised by the arrangements of Zhou Fan. They didn't know how many talismans Zhou Fan had brought, and they were carrying a particularly large package on their backs.
In fact, if they knew that Zhou Fan had a storage book almost filled with supplies in his talisman bag, they would probably be shocked.
After the arrangement was completed, Zhou Fan could still faintly hear Xiong Feixiu's screams and scolds. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, and told Huang Bujue and Gu Yan about the strange behavior of the two entourages beside Xiong Feixiu.
Gu Yan sat cross-legged on the snow and drank. He glanced at Huang Bujue. He was usually focused on brewing wine and rarely paid attention to errands. He could only guess some of them, but he was not sure that it was as he thought.
But in the officialdom for many years, Huang Bujue, who knew many children from aristocratic families, would definitely know more than him.
Huang Bujue chuckled and said, "This is not a strange thing. In some aristocratic families, they will order their entourage and slaves not to interfere in the family's children's actions, otherwise they will be executed."
"There are two reasons for doing this: the first is to be afraid that the words of the entourage servants will unknowingly affect the children of the family and even be manipulated and controlled by the core children of the family. The second is that they are not afraid that the children of the family will do wrong things and suffer setbacks."
"If you have a smooth life without suffering any minor setbacks, then in the face of setbacks that concern the family's honor and life and death, such a person's mentality will easily collapse, die or be depressed."
"The heads of the aristocratic families generally think that small setbacks and small failures are nothing. As long as they are immortal, they will grow up slowly. If they cannot bear small setbacks and small failures, they are not worth cultivating."
"So those two Xiong family entourages let Xiong Feixiu act like this. Anyway, Xiong Feixiu can't die even if she sees them."
Zhou Fan nodded slightly, and he felt a little moved. No wonder when he fooled Xiong Feixiu, the two entourages didn't say a word. I'm afraid they would want to trick Xiong Feixiu.
Only aristocratic families have the courage and confidence to cultivate their own children.
