MTL - Lord of Nine Stars-Chapter 22 story
The brigade headed all the way to the north. In the cold Xingling area in winter, it was covered with snow and dense forests.
No, no, it's July, it's summer.
But it is easy for Rong Taotao to mistake it for winter.
The temperature here is probably -25 or 6 degrees below zero, and this is still the temperature in hot summer, if it is winter...
Rong Taotao shuddered, it was hard for him to imagine what the winter would be like here.
There is no doubt that the farther north and closer to the snow vortex, the lower the temperature.
When the brigade of soldiers and horses broke out from an old forest in a deep mountain, the students showed their amazement.
Rong Taotao saw a wall, a towering and magnificent city wall.
The thickness of this city wall is not known yet, but looking at such a height, I am afraid it has to be 17 or 8 meters!
Wearing orange goggles, Rong Taotao used his eyesight and tried his best to see this majestic pass. The ancient city wall was going east and west, but there was no end in sight.
Dark clouds shrouded the land, and layers of wind and snow also covered the end of the city wall that stretched for an unknown number of miles.
More than a hundred cavalry soldiers slowed down and walked towards the city wall in front of them. Rong Taotao tried his best to sit up straight, his head was exposed from behind the soldier's younger brother, and he looked up at the writing on the huge city gate.
The three big characters are flying like phoenixes and phoenixes, and the momentum is even more powerful than this level.
"Hundred Regiments Pass".
Rong Taotao is no stranger to this story.
In the history textbook, the "Battle of Snow Night" is mainly described.
The importance of this battle is unquestionable. It even determined the integrity of China's territory and laid the most solid foundation for China's soul martial arts career.
That night, more than a hundred corps from the north exerted their force at the same time, and overnight, they swept the north and drove the snow spirit beasts that were rampant on this land to a position further north.
Rong Taotao, including all the students present, as well as the high schools, universities, towns behind, and even Guotai Min'an outside the customs, the reason why all of these exist is the result of the ancestors' hard work and success 40 years ago.
in this world,
Nothing is ever meant to be yours, including liberty, property, or even life.
Only those that you strive to strive for, and those that you strive to protect.
With thousands of years of history in China, the order of everyone's appearance is not determined by themselves.
Obviously, 40 years ago, in the difficult years when the spirit beasts invaded and the sky vortex opened up, some people stepped onto the stage of history and carried an almost unbearable burden.
They used the figures of charging again and again and the piles of corpses to defend the northern land.
Year after year, the sun and the moon alternate, and history moves forward.
Fifteen years ago, Rong Tao Tao fell to the ground.
Fifteen years later, he stood in front of this magnificent pass, looking up at its character and imagining the story of that year.
A glance is worth a thousand words in a book.
And here is just the first wall.
"Heh." The soldier squeezed his horse's belly lightly, and Rong Taotao hurriedly grabbed the placket of his shirt with one hand, exposing his head from his side, and saw the huge city gate open to both sides.
Finally crossed this wall, beyond Rong Taotao's expectations, but it was a town, just like an ancient city.
But this is a military camp, and there is no bustling street scene.
The children obviously wanted to visit the city, but the group went all the way, from the south gate to the north gate.
Across the entire city, when they arrived at the north gate, the gate was already open.
Rong Taotao frowned slightly, looking at the boundless snow field outside the city gate, he couldn't even find a suitable foothold...
For the level, this is of course excellent. No matter what happens, those snow spirit beasts who try to rush through the level will be discovered early. For the children who are assessed here, this kind of terrain is not very good. friendly.
Among the materials provided by the school, there are only sleeping bags, and no tents.
Of course, even if there is a tent, it is estimated that it will not be able to tie down in this kind of terrain. The wind blows, and there is nothing...
"dismount."
While thinking, Rong Taotao suddenly heard the words of the soldier's brother.
Rong Taotao did not hesitate, and hurriedly dismounted, but heard a "click, click" sound behind him.
The students hurriedly looked back, but saw that the generous city gate was slowly closing!
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, the city gate closed heavily.
For a time, under the towering city walls, only a hundred students and a hundred soldiers were left.
shhhhh......
The white horses under the crotch of the soldiers quietly disappeared, turned into a trace of soul power, and merged into their bodies.
The scene was terrifyingly quiet, the soldiers didn't speak, and the students were a little overwhelmed.
Finally, a soldier who looked like a captain said: "There are only two ways to return to this city.
First: Exit the assessment and report it to your caregiver.
Second: After 7 days, this gate will open to welcome you home. "
The voice of the soldier captain resounded at the foot of the city wall, accompanied by the sound of wind and snow: "Assessment target, survive for 7 days. Now, the assessment begins!"
Rong Taotao took a few steps forward, and while looking around, he felt the thickness of the snow.
Xue Yejing was able to walk flat on the snowfield because of its special soul skill, but Rong Taotao had no soul skill at this time, and the snow had already covered his ankles. Such an environment would definitely interfere with his performance.
Seeing the familiar person, Rong Taotao raised his hand high and hooked at the other party.
Rong Taotao's own positioning is very clear. As a junior soul **** who doesn't even have a soul beast, his scarce soul power can't help him too much.
Rong Taotao can only rely on his own skills.
Rong Taotao, whose survival is a problem, must find a partner. For him at this stage, he does not have the capital to survive alone. Only cooperation can achieve a win-win situation.
Lu Mang, who was wearing thick snow camouflage, was covered with a bamboo pole figure. Seeing Rong Taotao beckoning, he didn't hesitate and walked over.
Obviously, Lu Mang wasn't a middle schooler either, and he didn't imagine that he could live here alone for 7 days.
Soon, the students under the city wall gathered together in twos and threes.
At this moment, a lonely figure stepped forward and walked towards the wind and snow.
He is not alone. In the distance behind him, there is a soldier guarding him, and he is also the captain of the soldier who gave the order just now.
All the students were stunned, who was that person?
so courageous?
Is it really bullshit, or really stupid! ?
Rong Taotao looked at the lonely back, but fell into contemplation.
Because that student has the iconic short white hair.
Rong Taotao knows who he is!
Xu Taiping!
Pure soul beasts, and they are also a clan of ice souls with high IQ!
For humans, this place is not suitable for survival, but for Xu Taiping, at least within a wall, this should be his back garden.
Rong Taotao pursed his lips, turned his head to look at Lu Mang, and said, "That kid is very used to surviving in the snow field. In short, we can hug our thighs, but I only have a relationship with him, and we are not familiar with him. What do you think?"
Lu Mang asked, "What does it mean to be very suitable for surviving in the snow field."
Rong Taotao leaned into Lu Mang's ear and said, "He is a very special snow-realm soul beast, in the shape of a human, and has intelligence no less than that of a human being, and can even practice soul art and soul skills."
Lu Mang was obviously stunned for a moment, then his face became solemn, he hesitated for two or three seconds, and said, "Will we be in danger?"
"Well..." Rong Taotao thought for a while, then nodded silently, there is indeed such a probability.
Although there are soldiers guarding him, if Xu Taiping wants to enter Songjiang Soul Wu University and get a good ranking, he can use his home field advantage to attack other students, as long as he doesn't kill him.
In this assessment, Songjiang Soul Martial University not only did not say the standards of the assessment, but also did not say the rules of the assessment.
The elimination of nature is one aspect. Students are eliminated from each other, and of course it may happen.
Don't take this risk.
"Tao Tao." A charming voice came from behind.
Rong Taotao turned around and saw two women and one man.
Sun Xingyu, Li Ziyi, and an unknown girl.
Sun Xingyu wore a red cotton hat, red gloves, and colorful goggles to block those beautiful big eyes, but her voice was very recognizable.
The girl beside her was petite, and her large goggles were also colored, so she couldn't see her face for the time being.
"This is my roommate, Zhou Ting." Sun Xingyu introduced, "Are we together?"
Thighs are relative.
After watching her boyfriend and Rong Taotao fight for three years, Sun Xingyu of course knows how good Rong Taotao's fighting is.
In this icy world and in an unfamiliar environment, the three-year classmates of Sun Xingyu, Li Ziyi, and Rong Taotao suddenly made their relationship unbreakable.
Lu Mang: "Know?"
Rong Taotao: "Classmates."
"Hmm." Lu Mang hummed softly, not knowing what to think, so he didn't speak again.
Rong Taotao gestured to Lu Mang and said, "My roommate, Lu Mang, go, let's go first."
A team of 5 should be about the same.
Seeing that the five-member group broke away from the main force of the city wall, five soldiers also gathered together, hanging far behind a few people.
Rong Taotao tilted his head to look at Li Ziyi and said, "Where's your roommate?"
As soon as the words fell, Rong Taotao suddenly realized: "Ah... that's right, you can't make any roommates with your character."
Li Ziyi's voice was as cold as the wind and snow: "You talk too much."
Sun Xingyu: "Hey, what time is it, you two should stop fighting each other, let's talk about our survival ideas."
Rong Taotao: "The snow forest can block the wind and snow, and there may be some natural caves."
Sun Xingyu hurriedly said: "But it is very likely that there will be soul beasts living in the forest."
Rong Taotao explained: "We must find a place to shelter from the wind and snow. Entering the snow forest is also a must, and even we have to face the snow spirit beasts."
Rong Taotao pursed his lips and continued: "Otherwise, we can dig a hole directly under the root of the city wall, and rely on the supplies from the school to survive, it is the safest place.
But with that kind of performance, it is very difficult for us to pass the assessment, let alone enter the Junior Class of Songjiang Soul Wu University. "
Rong Taotao's thinking is very clear, the goal is very clear.
As soon as the words fell, no one in the team spoke, and seemed to agree with Rong Taotao's judgment.
Unconsciously, Rong Taotao seemed to have become the "Squad Leader".
The 5-person team slowly moved forward in the snow field. Rong Taotao took out the compass from his backpack, and his feet also accelerated, saying: "Let's speed up, before dawn, we must find Xuelin, Or other suitable footholds, otherwise, we may explain it here tonight."
Lu Mang said lightly, "You are very confident in your own strength."
Rong Taotao grinned and said, "You all settled in Aihui City, then rode Xue Yejing and came to Songjiang Soul Wu University, right?"
Lu Mang didn't respond, but Zhou Ting on the side nodded: "Yes."
Rong Taotao said: "We are all the same, we have been bumping on Xue Yejing's back for eight hours under the biting cold wind..."
With that said, Rong Taotao turned his head to look at Lu Mang, and said, "We have worked so hard and tried many times, but we didn't come here to be eliminated."
Hearing this, the corner of Lu Mang's mouth raised slightly.
A pair of eyes hidden behind the goggles looked at Rong Taotao quietly.
At this moment, Lu Mang seemed to understand the reason why Rong Taotao was fortunate enough to accept Si Huanian's suggestion.
The world is big, big enough to hold all kinds of people.
Lu Mang believes that when one person asks another why he came to Xuejing from the prosperous Shanghu city and attacked each other's beliefs...
The questioner himself must have some of the qualities he is asking about.
It's just that the two met for the first time, and they communicated in a light-hearted manner, and did not discuss this topic.
Everyone in the team accelerated and followed Rong Taotao's footsteps. Lu Mang silently looked at Rong Taotao's back and clenched the long sword in his hand.
So... your story, what is it?
