"Why is Yuntian here? He can't participate in the trial. Let him leave." The great elder simply frowned.
The elder Chuan Gong said: "We have qualifications but don't know how to practice hard. We have wasted our hope and are still embarrassing here." The other elders also nodded without any intention to refute.
The head of the family frowned, feeling very helpless. The bigger the family, the more intense the struggle for interests within the family. When a highly qualified Chu Yuntian appeared, they were in a bad mood, but their brother was still alive, so they didn't dare
Take action.
Now that his brother and sister-in-law are dead, these guys have begun to exclude Chu Yuntian. Chu Yuntian's nephew is too unmotivated to say the least, and he has wasted his good talent. After many years of not making progress, the head of the family is about to give up on him.
"Forget it, let him participate. Maybe after experiencing this incident, he will realize the importance of strength."
After thinking for a while, the head of the family spoke. When the head of the family spoke, the other elders would not refute because of a good-for-nothing kid. However, Elder Chuan Gong's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"The five-year family trial has begun. All those over ten years old who have refined their marrow can participate in the trial. As in previous years, those who complete the trial goal are eligible to participate in the family competition and determine who will be in the family for the next five years.
The status among them and the goal of this trial have been written on the bamboo sticks. Now the trial begins and everyone comes forward to draw lots."
The house elders presided over the trial as before. According to their status, starting from the front, they began to draw lots.
There were very few people in front. The eldest brother would not participate, and the second brother was too strong, so he would not participate. Then there were only four people left in front of him. The first one to step forward was Chu Tianba. Chu Tianba looked arrogant.
, walked to the front of the stage.
First, he glanced back at the people behind him, his eyes full of contempt, and then he started to draw lots.
With the bamboo stick in hand, Chu Tianba's expression changed for a moment, and then returned to normal. "Elder, please register."
Holding the bamboo stick, Chu Tianba respectfully came to the house elder. The house elder glanced at it, and then registered the task on the paper. After the trial, as long as he returns here with the items, the task is completed.
Soon, it was Chu Yuntian's turn. "Haha, this kid really went up to draw lots. I don't know what he will draw. I hope he really dares to participate." Following Chu Tianba's words, the audience burst into laughter.
Chu Yuntian felt a little trembling in his heart. Whether he lived or died depended largely on this time. He took a deep breath, slowly stretched out his hand, and finally grabbed a bamboo stick with a strong heart.
"Collecting herbs, oxtail flowers. So that's the mission." Chu Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief.
When the house elder saw the bamboo stick, he didn't know what the expression was on his face. "You are lucky. After this time, I hope you can work hard." After saying that, he casually wrote Chu Yuntian's name and mission on the book.
As soon as he returned to the stage, he heard Chu Tianba's jealous voice. "Huh, good luck. I stepped on dog poop this morning."
"Third Young Master, I think you must have eaten shit, otherwise why would your brain be damaged?" A follower from the back immediately whispered. There was a burst of laughter in the audience, and most of them were Chu Tianba's henchmen.
"Shut up, everyone, what's the point of making noise?" the house elder yelled loudly. Seeing the house elder getting angry, everyone did not dare to make a mistake and drew lots quietly. The draw was very fast. Don't look at how many people are here.
Hundreds of people.
In fact, less than half of the people actually participated in the trial. Many of them, like Chu Tianba's followers, were just there to serve others. For them, whether the task was completed or not was not something they were qualified to consider.
After the lottery was completed, the house elder recorded the last task. "Very good, follow me now. The location of this trial is behind Wuzhi County, Moro Mountain. Remember, you can only operate on the periphery of Moro Mountain. You are not allowed to
Go deep.”
After saying that, he took the lead and walked outside. The Chu family is located in the southwest of Wuzhi County, very close to Moro Mountain. Especially the inner courtyard of the family, it can be reached in less than half a day's journey after going out.
Most of a day later, a group of people arrived at Mount Moro. Because the Chu family was going to conduct a family trial, this generation had been notified long ago. Everyone retreated. Even those who went into the mountain to hunt were bypassed.
This is a place of trial.
The elder of the house pointed his hand. "Okay, here it is. You have to remember that you only have one month. If you can't return to the family within one month, you will fail the trial." After saying that, the elder of the house left without looking back.
Got here.
Looking at each other, a few people who were proud of their ability snorted coldly and left the team first. Without saying a word to the others, they planned to complete the task alone. Chu Tianba, on the other hand, stared at Chu Yuntian fiercely.
After a long time, Chu Tianba said to the people behind him: "This mission is very dangerous, it is a solid-stage war beast. As long as you can complete this mission, the benefits will be yours." Chu Tianba really did not intend to complete it alone.
Task.
After taking a glance, Chu Tianba whispered: "Li Gou, when that boy Chu Yuntian leaves later, be careful to follow him. If you have the chance, cripple him for me. Don't kill him, or you won't be able to play anymore."
"
Wouldn't it be a pity if a toy with such a high status was killed like this?
"Third Young Master, don't worry. He is just a person in the Bast level. He is no better than ordinary people." Although Li Gou is a peripheral disciple, he has reached the solid level. Although he has just entered.
"Be careful, that kid dares to come to participate, and he was brought by the second brother. He might have some dirty tricks. I'm not afraid, but if you are exposed, the second brother will definitely not let you go, so you should take care of yourself."
After saying this, Chu Tianba raised his head and shouted: "Let's go, we must not lose to others."
After a long time, when he saw everyone leaving, Chu Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that he would be followed. After Chu Tianba left, it was time for him to take action. This mission, to a large extent,
, has nothing to do with strength.
Chu Yuntian usually has no way to obtain combat skills and tactics, but other books are not prohibited. He has done some research on collecting herbs. According to his habits, there are oxtail flowers outside Moro Mountain.
As long as the task is completed and based on past experience, anyone can go to Chuan Gong Pavilion and choose a combat skill or combat strategy at will. At that time, he will be able to break through the current stage. Thinking of this, Chu Yuntian is full of hope.
It was rumored that Mount Moro was several times larger than Wuzhi County. It wasn't until he faced it that Chu Yun realized that it was several times bigger. This area is boundless. I'm afraid no one knows how big Mount Moro is.
"Oxtail flower has oval leaves with burrs. The flower has five petals and the bud looks like an oxtail. It mostly grows on mountain tops or on the edge of cliffs." As he went deeper, Chu Yuntian's record of oxtail flower flashed in his mind. Oxtail flower is a kind of medicine.
main materials.
It is especially effective for solid realm warriors. "Where can I find the cliff?" Chu Yuntian suddenly remembered that he had made a major mistake and forgot to bring the map of Mount Moro. Without a map, how could he find the cliff.
However, if you go back now, you won't have enough time. You will be considered a coward and leave early.
"Hmph, how can I, Chu Yuntian, be intimidated by this difficulty? I won't give in to anyone." Chu Yuntian suddenly shouted in his heart and continued to move forward. If there is no map, then just rely on your feelings to make your way.
Already.
The terrain of Mount Moro is very complex, and it is not difficult to find some cliffs.
"Where is this kid going and what is his mission?" Behind him, Li Gou looked at the map in his hand with a puzzled look. On the map, the productive locations of various minerals and medicines were specifically marked.
Earlier, the house elder said that Chu Yuntian was lucky, so he should have gotten a collection-type task.
But now, the place where this kid was walking was different from any material-producing area. How could he have imagined that Chu Yuntian, a guy who had never been out before, was just wandering around here because he didn't bring a map.
After a long time, Li Gou stopped his desire to do anything. "Hmph, let you live a little longer, wait until you are in a place without people." This is the edge of Mount Moro that has just been entered. It is easy for people to watch your actions here.
arrive.
Li Gou planned to go deeper and then attack Chu Yuntian. After all, Chu Yuntian was a direct descendant of the family. If a peripheral disciple attacked a direct descendant, the consequences would be serious. He wanted to please the third young master, but also to protect himself.
Gradually, all the disciples who entered Mount Moro dispersed. Only those who had gathered together continued to gather. Most of the disciples were either alone or two or three, not too many.
At night, Chu Yuntian was in trouble again. "How on earth are we going to sleep here? Is it just someone here? I wonder if there will be war beasts passing by. After I go back, I must learn from the mountain people."
Chu Yuntian, who had no experience in surviving in the wild, had no idea what to do in the wild. He had no shelter and no torches. All he had was the cold and hard dry food he carried with him.
