Zuo Qing woke up by the lakeside. He was in a daze for a moment before he came back to his senses and looked at everything around him. His face looked a little ugly.

Knowing that he had lost the martial arts test, he glanced at the list absentmindedly. His name was ranked extremely low on it because he had only killed one monster, and it was obvious that his ranking would not change.

He kept falling because he had already been eliminated, and the martial arts test was only the first day.

He looked around and saw no familiar people. He knew that he was one of the first few people to be eliminated, so his face became even more ugly.

After he took a look at the top of the list, he found that the name there was the one he least wanted to see. He felt extremely uncomfortable. He shook his head in pain, only to find a young man walking not far away.

"Senior Brother Wang."

Zuo Qing spoke in a daze.

Senior Brother Wang looked at him and said with some sympathy, "Junior Brother Zuo, the sect leader has ordered you to return to the mountain immediately. You will not leave the mountain for the next ten years unless you can set foot on the other side."

When he spoke, Senior Brother Wang had some sympathy in his eyes. Based on Zuo Qing's current state and talent, it would be impossible for him to reach the other side in ten years. In other words, the Zuo Qing in front of him was really going to be killed.

He was imprisoned in the mountains for ten years and was not allowed to come out.

Such a punishment, to be honest, is too serious for Zuo Qing.

After hearing this, Zuo Qing's face turned extremely ugly. He looked at the man in front of him in disbelief and murmured, "How could..."

Naturally, he knew that what happened in the small world could not be hidden, but he did not expect that it would happen so quickly and that the sect leader's reaction would be so violent.

Senior Brother Wang glanced at him but didn't say anything. He probably knew the inside story. Things like embarrassment were common among monks outside the country, but when the embarrassment was brought to Daliang Dynasty, it was not something that could be accepted.

Especially at the Ten Thousand Willows Meeting, Zuo Qing was begging that young man for mercy. This kind of thing was even more unacceptable.

"Junior Brother Zuo, practice well after returning to the mountain. If you have the chance, you can avenge your shame in ten years."

Senior Brother Wang looked at him deeply, then said nothing and left alone.

Zuo Qing was left alone, standing there in despair.

Several sneers sounded in the distance, which made him feel even more hurt.

Even though it was already night, there were still many people by the lake, nervously watching the progress of the martial arts test.

…

…

Chen Chao walked towards the distance, not choosing a more open area, but towards a denser mountain forest.

There were more monsters among the mountains, and he felt very safe.

When he entered the mountains and forests, he seemed to be back in Tianqing County. In those dark nights, he was walking in the mountains and forests, looking for the monsters hidden in the mountains.

That feeling is both dangerous and exciting.

I don't know if it's because the aura on his body is too scary for monsters, or there are really no monsters nearby. After searching for half the night in the deep mountains, Chen Chao didn't find another monster. It was almost midnight, and Chen Chao didn't know.

Chao rubbed his neck and decided not to move forward. Instead, he started digging a hole in a hidden jungle.

In the mountains, hiding in a cave is the best choice. This is his experience over the years.

But soon, Chen Chao stopped because he soon heard some sounds, which were footsteps in the distance.

He frowned, and it only took a very short time to hide himself in the dug hole, quietly wiping away the soil, and began to adjust his breathing, finally making his breath undetectable.

The footsteps stopped not far away, and a very

A low voice sounded, "What's going on? His breath is gone."

The man's voice sounded a little confused, and he was even more puzzled. He didn't know why such a thing happened.

"Impossible, the secret method will not fail. If you feel it with your heart, he may have found a place to hide it."

Another person said softly, "Yes, the breath is very weak. It should be around. Let's look hard. Maybe we can find him. He is hiding."

"Brother, if we act like this, we're just going to alert the enemy. What if he's watching us from the dark?"

That voice was a little worried.

"I also know, but we only have midnight. If it comes during the day, someone will be watching him, and we can't do anything."

Another voice was very angry.

"Why can't we pretend to encounter him accidentally during the day? Then it will be reasonable for us to defeat him by then."

The voice was a little confused.

"We are not here to defeat him, we are here to kill him, do you know that?"

There was some anger in the senior brother's voice.

"He caused so many things by the lake, which has embarrassed them enough. We found him and killed him. Although we can't admit it, it also restored our face. But damn, is this guy here?

Where!"

The figure was walking in the forest, Qi swaying between the sleeves. It was obvious that they were two people who were ready to take action at any time.

Chen Chao listened to their previous words without any movement or even any emotional fluctuations, so they had no idea that Chen Chao was hiding here at the moment. After searching here, they left quickly, just leaving.

When I left, I still felt a lot of anger.

Chen Chao narrowed his eyes, took out the bamboo sign, and was silent for a long time.

The bamboo card must have been tricked by some people so that they can find themselves, but once they know it, they will know it, but they cannot throw away the bamboo card, because once they lose this thing, it means that they can only

When the Little World was completely closed, Wei Xu took him out. When he encountered something before, he could no longer exit here.

In this case, he is very likely to die.

Especially when he encounters those powerful monsters, or those really powerful young monks who want his life.

So he had to carry this bamboo sign with him until he left.

But with this bamboo sign, others will always know that he is here and find him.

Chen Chao couldn't hide the chill in his eyes.

He was a little angry.

When he entered this small world, he expected that he would be targeted and that some special methods would be used against him, so he said those words to Wei Xu, but Wei Xu's answer, now it seems, is not very good.

He said it was a minor inconvenience.

Perhaps for a strong man who forgets worries, the troubles Chen Chao encounters now are just minor troubles, but for Chen Chao, this is not the case.

He was caught in an unsolvable situation, and he didn't know if only a few people were involved or if all the young monks who entered the small world were involved.

Chen Chao had never provoked those two people just now, and he didn't know each other at all.

There will be many such people.

They may not appear during the day, but they will come looking for him at night

Traces, some people want to kill him, some people just want to defeat him.

Chen Chao looked at the bamboo tile in his hand. He could crush the bamboo tile at this moment and withdraw from the fight.

This way he doesn't have to go through those dangers, but he won't be able to top the list either.

If Xie Nandu hadn't won the first place in the previous literary test, if there hadn't been...

Chen Chao cursed in a low voice and put the bamboo sign back on his waist. He was a little annoyed.

It's more helpless.

This is not Tianqing County, and he is not the most terrifying demon in the night. .??.

He is just a young man, an insignificant ant in the eyes of a big shot.

If someone wants to crush him, he will be crushed quickly.

There is nothing wrong with living.

Chen Chao didn't have a good rest tonight. He spent the whole night watching the stars.

When morning came, he climbed up from the cave and patted the soil on his body. The black shirt he was wearing was the civilian clothes of the left guard. It was made of special materials. Normal water, water, and fire could not damage this black shirt.

It leaves no mark and won't stain.

The soil fell rustlingly, and Chen Chao continued walking towards the mountains.

He knew that he had been targeted, but he did not intend to be exposed to people's sight, but wanted to go deeper.

This is different from his original choice.

For the first time, he drew his knife.

The dark broken knife shone with a special luster in his hand.

…

…

A new day has arrived.

The monks by the lake came here again.

Although some monks did not leave last night, most monks still did not choose to spend the night here.
