A team of six people, three men and three women from Yingzhou, sat together, not daring to light a bonfire, and looked at each other in silence under the dim starlight.
One of the young men seemed to be injured, with torn strips of clothes randomly wrapped around his arm. A flash of pain flashed from time to time, and a subtle fear shrouded everyone's face. The monks who protect us...
Where did it go?!
Not far away, Xia Yi stood on a tree, looking at the six-man team from a distance.
When he left Zhou Xiaoxian's team, he originally wanted to search if there were any Nightmare Trial players who were similar to the rabbit demon but did not commit suicide.
After encountering three teams one after another on the road, Xia Yi discovered another problem - the monks responsible for protecting the demon hunting team were all missing!
Looking back at the outer ring barrier that was not obvious in the night, Xia Yi recalled how nervous the five-star Yuheng monk who was protecting Zhou Xiaoxian's team was about to leave the team, and made a judgment in his mind.
'Prince Zheng, he has indeed made a move!'
'As expected of a tyrant, so unscrupulous that he would not hesitate to bury students from three states?'
First, confirm that King Zheng is targeting him, and then deduce it in reverse, and it is not difficult to get the full picture of the incident.
Most of the monks responsible for protecting the demon-hunting team had quietly left the demon-hunting field, and during this demon-hunting trial, except for Xia Yi, the teacher who was following behind, no one with a similar identity entered.
In other words, apart from the demon clan, there are only a bunch of two-star and three-star intermediate class students in the current demon hunting field, and Xia Yi, who is at the peak of six-star Kaiyang!
The departure of the supervising monk can be attributed to changes in the rules of the Demon Hunting Trial, while Xia Yi's retention can be attributed to the fact that the notice was forgotten.
Of course, this was just the case. Even if some students were killed or injured, the blame would not be on Xia Yi, who only protected Zhou Xiaoxian's team.
But what if there is a problem with the inner barrier of the Central Ring? What if the High Star Demon riots?
It is true that a group of five- and six-star demons cannot kill Xia Yi, but it will be a disaster for the two- and three-star students! When he is the only six-star Kaiyang left, there is a problem with the inner barrier of the Central Ring.
He can only take the blame!
Such an incident will definitely attract the attention of the General Academy. Prince Zheng, who changed the rules of monster hunting, will be punished. However, the incident of "destroying the inner barrier and causing unnecessary casualties to the students in the intermediate class" is enough for the General Academy to send out law enforcers.
Come and catch yourself!
As far as Xia Yi knew, there were kings stationed in the main courtyard of the Holy Academy.
Conspiracy? No, this is a conspiracy!
Xia Yi saw that it was useless. If he wanted to avoid large-scale casualties among the students in the intermediate class, the best way was to smash the outer ring barrier now.
But he still has to bear the responsibility of destroying the demon hunting trial and releasing one or two star demon clans!
From various angles, Xia Yi was in a dilemma at this time, but after just a brief thought, he found a way to break the situation and even counterattack!
"Using the main hospital? The main hospital is not a place for joking. Be careful... you will burn yourself by playing with fire!"
…
He came forward and gave each of the six Yingzhou students a copy of Gui Suishou's seeds. In their surprise and gratitude, he told them to stay where they were and not to move around. Xia Yi turned around and returned.
After Shi Lai went offline, the four members of the team discussed the vigil method. Zhou Xiaoxian and Song Ziyu would watch the first half of the night, and the two senior brothers and sisters would watch the second half of the night.
At this moment, the two children were chatting wordlessly in order to relieve their sleepiness.
Taking advantage of the cold wind and dim starlight in the mountains and fields, Song Ziyu kept stealing glances at Xiaoxian's profile. The two talked about their first acquaintance and Feng Mo.
The cold wind blew against his face, and Song Ziyu suddenly caught a flash of crystal light from the corner of his eye. He stretched out his hands and said in surprise: "It's snowing!"
The barrier built by the power of the Holy Soul will not block the wind and snow of nature. Zhou Xiaoxian raised his head.
"It's really snowing."
The two looked back at the senior brother and sister who were sleeping lightly using only weeds as beds and branches. Zhou Xiaoxian pursed his lips and said worriedly: "We should find a cave. Sleeping in the wilderness on a snowy day will easily catch cold."
"I'll pay attention tomorrow. I can only make do with it tonight." Song Ziyu responded, looking at Zhou Xiaoxian hesitantly, reaching out to unbutton his robe, "Xiaoxian, are you cold?"
Before receiving a response, he took off his robe and handed it to Zhou Xiaoxian.
Zhou Xiaoxian was startled and quickly declined.
After a long push, Song Ziyu finally put his robe back on reluctantly. Looking at Zhou Xiaoxian's relieved look, he asked slowly: "Xiaoxian, do you... have someone you like?"
Zhou Xiaoxian blinked: "Of course there is, for example, teacher. He taught me a lot. Without him, I would have been like Sun Xin and Lu Ying in this demon hunting trial. Because I didn't have enough cultivation, there was nothing I could do.
Came to participate..."
That's not what I'm talking about... Song Ziyu hesitated for a moment and finally worked up the courage to ask this question. When he was interrupted by Zhou Xiaoxian, he felt embarrassed again and had to take advantage of the situation and said: "I am very lucky to meet senior Yi Xia.
Our class, including me, are all jealous of you."
Zhou Xiaoxian smiled: "Is it that exaggerated? Besides, senior brother, you are the one everyone envy, right? You have been guided by Master Xiangren since you were a child."
"Father..." A few snowflakes fell on Song Ziyu's head, and he was slightly exposed. After a moment, he sighed: "Actually...sometimes, I quite hate my father."
Zhou Xiaoxian was surprised: "How come?"
Song Ziyu smiled bitterly. In this situation, facing the person he liked, he deliberately revealed some secrets hidden deep in his heart, which was a kind of relief.
"Father, in fact, he is not as fair and righteous as everyone thinks. My mother died early. When I was seven years old, my father married my aunt. It has been almost nine years now.
My aunt is a scheming person. She has always wanted to be her father's wife and leave him an heir. She doesn't like me and targets me everywhere, fearing that I will compete for the title of her heir who has not yet come into the world."
Zhou Xiaoxian hesitated before speaking, and said: "Then how can you blame Lord Xiangren..."
Song Ziyu pointed at his eyes: "How could everything my aunt did be hidden from my father? Even my holy soul can see it clearly!
My father acquiesced to this, or he did it on purpose, thinking that it was a kind of tempering for me and an exercise for my holy soul.
I don't blame my aunt, my aunt... is also a poor person. Her father never treated her sincerely. She never knew that she couldn't have a son and a half with her father because her father did it on purpose! So sometimes, I really
...I hate my father very much.”
Zhou Xiaoxian was silent. Song Ziyu's words somewhat subverted the image of a wronged prince in her mind.
Some wanted to ask if it was a misunderstanding. Zhou Xiaoxian suddenly felt a coat being wrapped around him. He turned around cautiously and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Xia Yi.
"Teacher, you really followed me."
Xia Yi nodded, smiled at Song Ziyu, who looked nervous, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a gossip, and I won't say these words to the vindicated prince."
"Wow, you actually eavesdropped!" Zhou Xiaoxian laughed playfully, pretending to blame him, but actually he was trying to relieve Song Ziyu's embarrassment.
However, Xia Yi leaned close to her ear and said, "Sometimes, don't be too kind. If you should refuse, just refuse. Interrupt by saying that you like me, teacher, or... you are hesitating in your heart, are you feeling moved?"
Zhou Xiaoxian blinked and his face turned slightly red.
"Teacher! When did you start eavesdropping? This is too much!"
After whispering, she quickly covered her mouth and looked back at her senior brother and sister. When she saw the two of them turning over, she suddenly looked embarrassed.
Xia Yi said: "It's okay. It's just the right time to wake them up. Something happened at the monster hunting ground. Don't sleep tonight. Come with me!"
