Huh-huh-
It is getting late, the cold wind is blowing, and a little bit of snowflakes are falling, dotting the dense forest with a silver snow coat.
"Ah... sneeze! This damn weather is so cold..."
Deep in the dark forest, a fire was particularly bright and conspicuous. Qingyu sat by the campfire, sniffling and warming himself up.
"Who told you to start the trial for him so quickly?"
Beside him, Ye Chunyu stretched out her arms and rolled her eyes at him angrily.
She was holding a long wooden skewer in her hand, with some vegetables and meat hanging on it, and some baked food beside the campfire. She was obviously cooking on the barbecue: "It's still dragging me down in this wilderness. The mountain is freezing!"
"There's nothing I can do..." Qingyu laughed dryly and touched the barbecues at the same time, "Shensheng woke up, it will definitely take a long time to ink. If we go back to cook again, the day lilies will be cold."
"Besides, look at the moonlight, how beautiful it is."
Snapped!
"Paw, take it away! If you want to eat it, bake it yourself!"
Ye Chunyu's face was expressionless, and she slapped off the "dog paw" that Qingyu extended with a "snap".
"Daughter-in-law, I'm hungry...I'm still cold..." Qingyu cried pitifully, rubbing against Ye Chunyu's soft and plump body.
"Uh...brother, there are still people here..."
Seeing that Qingyu was almost pressing down on Ye Chunyu, on the other side of the bonfire, a man wrapped in a black robe suddenly spoke helplessly.
Listening to his voice, if Lin Shengsheng were here, he would immediately recognize that this man in black robe was the one who led him into the secret room of the spirit beads in the first place!
"Don't get up yet!"
Hearing this person's voice, Ye Chunyu's snowy face suddenly turned red. She kicked off her two long legs and kicked Qingyu away from her body.
"Oh... you, you, you... I said I couldn't stop your mouth while eating!? I shouldn't have kept you!"
Qingyu immediately stopped eating before she could finish the meal. She glared and looked at the man in black robes fiercely.
"..."
The man in black robe was looked at like this and did not dare to say anything. He lowered his head and buried it in the roast chicken in his hand, eating big mouthfuls. However, amid the sound of chewing, there was still a vague sound: " Didn’t I send you a message...you continue...I don’t know anything..."
But Qingyu was in no mood to continue, so she snorted angrily and sat there without speaking.
"But... the time taken to derive this trial is indeed a bit too long, right?"
After a while, Ye Chunyu, whose complexion returned to fair, suddenly asked softly, "Even if the time flow rate in the spirit bead is different from ours, it still takes a while."
As she said that, she pointed at a huddled figure beside the bonfire. Judging from his face, it was Lin Shengsheng who had been brought into the Nine Emperors Town Yuan Tower before!
However, compared to Lin Yansheng, who was on the verge of death after being beaten in the tower, this Lin Yansheng had no scars on his body, and even the clothes he wore were not damaged, except that his body twitched from time to time.
There was a trace of distortion on his face, as if he was experiencing great pain, and his curled-up body squirmed a few times and rolled around the campfire.
"It does take a long time...but looking at the appearance of his 'body', it shows that he is fighting very hard inside!"
The man in black robe looked at Lin Shengsheng's condition and couldn't help but admired: "This mind and determination are quite good."
As he said that, he turned to look at Qingyu: "I'm just saying it's not a loss to give him the spirit beads, right?"
"That's true, but no matter how hard you try, you won't really let yourself die in it! You will quit on your own. He's not so stubborn...wait a minute!"
Ye Chunyu stared at Lin Yansheng with doubtful and distressed eyes. Suddenly, she looked back at Qingyu with strange eyes: "You didn't tell him that this was just a mental test, right?"
"Pfft! Ahem! No way..."
Hearing Ye Chunyu's question, the man in black robe almost spat out the food in his mouth and stared at Qingyu with the same strange eyes.
"ah?"
Under the gaze of the two people, Qingyu looked innocent and confused: "I think he should have noticed it, right?"
"Found a ball!" Ye Chunyu said angrily: "So, you really didn't tell me?!"
"It seems...no..."
Qingyu's eyes became even more innocent: "It seems that I forgot... I really forgot!"
"Forgot?" Ye Chunyu laughed angrily, jumped up and gave Qingyu a chestnut: "Why don't you forget to eat?"
"Really...hey, brother, after all these years, don't you still know who I am? Why don't you help me?" Qingyu winked at the man in black robe.
"Brother, after all these years... I really can't speak out of conscience."
The man in black robe smiled. He and Qing Yu have known each other for so many years. Of course, he knows Qing Yu’s “personality” very well...
forget? Can you forget such a thing? I won’t believe it even if I beat him to death!
"Well……"
Lin Yansheng, who was lying on the ground, suddenly turned around and let out several painful groans.
"Are you going to wake up?"
Qingyu raised his eyebrows, stood up, and pushed the man in black robe: "Let's go, I'm awake, you should leave."
"oh……"
Being driven away directly, the man in black robe was a little helpless, but he had no choice but to reluctantly move up from the ground and pass two already roasted chicken wings at the same time.
"Okay, you're still addicted to eating, right? Over there, crawl!"
Qingyu laughed and cursed, pushing and pushing the black-robed man into the dense forest.
"Uh...uh uh."
At this moment, Lin Yansheng on the ground slowly opened his eyes, and his godless sight was naturally attracted by the bright bonfire in front of him.
What's going on... Where am I?
After staring at the bonfire with blurry eyes for a long time, Lin Yansheng's eyes finally regained some focus. The remaining memories in his mind made him subconsciously touch his heart.
In mint condition.
Is this the world after death? Still...alive...
Thinking of this vaguely, the action just now seemed to have consumed all his strength. Lin Yansheng felt that his whole body was no longer in control and he was lying on the ground helplessly.
"It's just too much consumption, don't be afraid."
When he was confused, two palms suddenly placed on his chest and back one after another, and bright yellow energy began to pour into his body continuously.
With the influx of vitality, Lin Shengsheng's body was revitalized as if it had been nourished. Wisps of strength condensed in his limbs, finally allowing him to gain some control over his body.
And this voice...
"Teacher...mother?"
His consciousness and physical strength quickly recovered under the nourishment of the warm flow of vitality. Lin Yansheng slowly raised his head and looked straight at the graceful and beautiful face in front of him.
"Well, it's me, good boy. You lie down for a while and have a good rest."
Seeing Lin Yansheng who was so weak, Ye Chunyu's eyes were filled with distress and she said softly.
…
"How's the thing I asked you to do go?"
Deep in the dense forest, in a place where there was no light at all, Qingyu pulled the man in black robe here and asked in a serious tone.
"Well, don't worry, I've already spread the news!"
When they got down to business, the man in black robe corrected his tone, nodded and replied.
"That's good. How long will it take for them to arrive?"
"It's hard to say. If it's fast...more than a month, if it's slow it'll be two or three months. Positioning also takes time."
"More than a month to two or three months..." Qingyu pinched her fingers and calculated silently, "That's about the time, we can start preparations."
"Oh? Don't you plan to hang around here?"
The man in black robe looked at Qing Yu and said excitedly.
"Well, after all, 'the one' who sent me here always needs to do something practical." Qingyu chuckled: "I hope everything goes well."
The sound of laughter fell, and Qingyu's figure suddenly dispersed, leaving only a burst of chuckles echoing in the forest.
"Yes, after enduring it for so long... it's really time to go back!" The man in black robe looked at the place where Qingyu disappeared and murmured, his eyes excited.
…………
"Master Wife, what on earth was what I just experienced...?"
At the campfire, Lin Shengsheng, who had regained some of his strength, was eating barbecue and groping all over his body.
It was strange that he had been beaten so brutally in the Nine Emperors Zhenyuan Tower, but there was not a single wound on his body, let alone the sword that penetrated him.
This made him feel very strange. He was very sure that he was not dreaming just now. The bone-breaking pain could not be imagined out of thin air.
"What exactly is the spirit bead space?" He looked at Ye Chunyu.
"Spirit beads...Actually, I don't know very well." Ye Chunyu said with a helpless smile: "But I roughly know that it is a place that can be used to sharpen people. It is said that the spirit puppets in combat can be simulated inside, and people can enter continuously. Experience.”
"And in order to prevent you from being injured, what you enter is a spiritual body. Even if you die, it will not cause any harm to the body, but the pain will be very real."
"But you should have experienced this, right?" Ye Chunyu asked with a smile.
Spiritual body…
Lin Yansheng suddenly realized that this was the case. No wonder he had no injuries at all, but the battle simulated by the spirit bead was really real. At that last moment, he really felt like he was on the verge of death!
But thinking about it carefully, after I entered, I did feel an unreal sense of frivolity, but I just didn't notice it at the time.
But...
"Master Wife, you should have told me earlier..." Lin Yansheng looked at Ye Chunyu with some resentment: "Tell me earlier, why should I suffer these crimes?"
Just as Ye Chunyu was about to speak, a voice sounded first: "I just want you to know what pain feels like!"
Qingyu's figure appeared beside the bonfire at some point, and said with a smile: "After all, you lack training. When you enter Lei Xiaowu Mansion and fight with others with real swords and guns, you will inevitably suffer losses. After today's experience, in the future You shouldn’t lose your fighting spirit at the sight of blood!”
"But your performance in these two games was pretty reliable." Qingyu gave Lin Shengsheng a thumbs up for the first time, although this thumb probably contained mostly comforting elements...
Qingyu knows that some warriors, when competing with others, are more powerful than others when they meet those who are not as good as themselves. But when they meet those who are stronger than themselves, they immediately become intimidated, and even face some who look ferocious and ferocious. The monster's legs became weak, making it difficult for him to resist.
The kind of people Qingyu mentioned are weak-minded. Even if they are talented, they will hardly achieve success in the future. But Lin Shengsheng is obviously not the case. In both battles, he showed his due bloodiness and strength. Although this is also Because he was forced to do it, but it was not easy.
"Two games?" Lin Yansheng rolled his eyes: "Can you see what I see?"
"Although I can almost sense it... But I really didn't look at it this time." Qingyu touched his head and shook his slender fingers.
"The trial of the spirit beads will be adjusted according to the strength of the trialist. Every time you enter, the opponents you face will be three people of the same level as you. However, you did not fight last time, so you have to fight this time. Two rounds.”
"It goes without saying that if you lose, if you win, you will get a certain amount of energy as a reward, but you will also face a more powerful opponent."
"Oh, your vitality should have improved a bit, right?"
Qingyu smiled and said, "You should have noticed something."
Lin Yansheng nodded silently. The appearance of the blood-quenching realm spirit puppet at the end almost scared the shit out of him.
But according to Qingyu, even if he defeated the blood-quenching realm spirit puppet, will there be a more powerful one in the future?
This is a hairy ball!
"Don't be so surprised. You have to know that fighting at a higher level is just a basic exercise for some geniuses."
Qingyu looked at Lin Yansheng's face and knew what he was thinking, and said angrily: "You must do this in the future."
"However, after this fight, do you have any ideas about your own weaknesses...?"
