Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty

Chapter 610: Chapter 610: Brother Yili, We Did It

The group’s speed was quite fast this time, with everyone running through the entire journey, even the black horse with its limp seemed to have improved a lot, clattering along with its hooves.

About ten minutes later, the four of them and the horse finally ran out of the woods.

"Nearly ten kilometers of forest, if a demonized person were to block the way, the difficulty would have been off the charts," Ma Ziqian looked back at the woods and said.

Honestly, if they had encountered a demonized person, their chances of making it out of the woods unscathed were not high.

"Thank you, Brother Chai," Gu Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, and then sent a stream of gratitude to Chai Tong through the air.

In her eyes, being able to get through the forest without encountering a single demonized person was definitely Chai Tong’s doing.

After all, Chai Tong was from Xuanyuan Tomb.

As for him being demoted after offending someone in the Xuanyuan Tomb, that was probably a story made up by Chai Tong.

Chai Tong’s status in Xuanyuan Tomb must be very high, taking the foreground in the fortress, it was very likely an internal mission of Xuanyuan Tomb, and there was a high probability that Chai Tong was one of the examiners.

They had won Chai Tong’s approval for their conduct last night, so today’s exam went smoothly.

Everything made sense.

"Brother Chai is awesome!" Lu Xiao shouted out, following Gu Xi’s lead.

Ma Ziqian cast a glance at Lu Xiao but said nothing.

You know, according to his judgment, there was a thirty percent chance that Lu Xiao was that important person.

"Brother Ziqian, it’s still early before nightfall, shall we continue heading towards Xuanyuan Tomb?" Gu Wang asked from the side.

"Yes, we need to get to the last checkpoint before nightfall," Ma Ziqian nodded.

"Someone will come to the checkpoint to distribute entry tickets."

"There are a total of eight entry tickets."

"If there are more than eight people at the checkpoint, they will need to... fight."

"As for the form of the struggle, it varies each time. It could be a test of strength, a test game set up by Xuanyuan Tomb, or perhaps an unruled snatch."

Hearing Ma Ziqian’s description, the expressions of both Gu Xi and Gu Wang became visibly tense.

If it were just some test games or strength comparisons that stopped short of serious harm, that would be one thing.

But if it were an unruled snatch, the mortality rate would be extremely high.

With their strength at the Transcendent Realm First Level, they would be as good as dead.

"When the time comes, we’ll see what it is. If it’s an unruled snatch, you two just pull out, and there will be no issues," Ma Ziqian said to Gu Wang and Gu Xi.

The two nodded incessantly; if it were an unruled snatch, they were definitely going to leave.

Those who came to Xuanyuan Tomb for the selection, weren’t they all exceptional talents?

There were even those with strength and talent greater than Ma Ziqian’s, so the two of them might as well give up.

...

The distance from the forest to the final checkpoint was about thirty kilometers, and the four men and the horse arrived with two hours to spare before nightfall.

This so-called final checkpoint was actually a fortress.

Only, this fortress was clearly abandoned, with dilapidation and weeds everywhere.

When they arrived, three people were already standing in the empty, dirty courtyard.

Two men and one woman.

They seemed to be a team, chatting with each other.

Upon noticing Lu Xiao’s group, their eyes revealed a bit of wariness.

Especially after seeing the black horse Lu Xiao was leading, the three of them all grew somewhat unnatural in their expressions.

They knew all too well how terrible the forest before was, and anyone who could bring a horse through it must have formidable strength.

"Hello there," Lu Xiao was the first to greet them.

After all, these were Xuanyuan Tomb’s prospects, and as the Sect Leader, it was only right to get to know them.

Not sensing any hostility from Lu Xiao, the three also let out a breath of relief.

Fearing an encounter with a vicious person who would attack on sight.

Such incidents had occurred at the final checkpoint before.

"Hello to you too."

"Where are you guys from?" Lu Xiao continued to inquire.

"From the north, Qixing City."

Hearing about the origin of the three, Ma Ziqian’s expression immediately turned somewhat serious.

Qixing City was very strong; it was said to have a Demi Immortal of the Half-Immortal Realm Seventh Level in residence.

"Qixing City, yes, I’ve heard of it. I heard that the smoked meat from your place is second to none. I must try it if I get the chance," Lu Xiao commented with a smile.

These were all things Feng Tianxing had briefed him about.

Which city had interesting features, Feng Tianxing had basically mentioned them and marked them on the map.

The three gave Lu Xiao a strange look; was there something wrong with this guy?

In such a tense and competitive situation, why on earth was he discussing local culture and customs?

Seeing no response from the three, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but curl his lips upward, noting that a lack of communication was not a good habit.

Only by knowing oneself and the enemy could one gain the upper hand. How would you understand your opponent if you didn’t chat?

Of course, Lu Xiao didn’t continue to force the conversation and instead looked up at the fortress gate.

At that moment, two somewhat disheveled figures were rushing in.

"Brother Yili, we made it!"

"Hahaha, Feifei, this time we’re definitely going to join Xuanyuan Tomb."

"Once we join Xuanyuan Tomb, the first thing is to kill Ma Ziqian and Lu Xiao, those two trash!"

"Brother Yili, maybe they’re already dead in that forest," Feifei suggested.

The two of them spoke excitedly, indulge in their fantasies, as if no one else was around...

In the courtyard, Lu Xiao’s eyes could hardly roll any harder.

Could you two first restore your blinded eyes? Could you at least take a look around first?
