Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 35 0001
Tang Zheng shrugged. He was too embarrassed to complain about the number he drew.
Zero zero zero one!
No matter how I look at it, I feel that this number I got is not so normal...
When Tang Xiaotang heard the result of Tang Zheng's lottery, she was so stunned that she blinked several times: "Why do I feel that this is not the number of a normal candidate?"
"Isn't it something specially used to make things difficult for the Master?" Tang Xuan said.
"But the draw for the water basin is uncertain..." Tang Xiaotang looked at Tang Zheng sympathetically, "It can only be said that Master just happened to be unlucky."
"Maybe I was just lucky." Tang Zheng said with a smile: "For example, when I went in, the nameplate fell directly on the road, and I picked it up..."
"Haha, I hope so." Tang Xiaotang and Tang Xuan certainly also hoped so.
Deacons and instructors took turns going in and out, bringing groups of warriors waiting to be tested into the forest.
About half an hour later, Group 33 was called.
Tang Zheng waved towards Tang Xiaotang and the others: "Then I'll go in first. I need to find Fenghua and Xiaolingling first. Then we'll see if the situation is going to be harmonious."
Tang Xiaotang and Tang Xuan both nodded: "Come on!"
The person who led Tang Zheng and his group into the forest was none other than Ouyang Luoluo.
The rain is getting heavier.
Although it was just past noon, the sky had already turned overcast, and it looked as if the sun was about to set.
Tang Zheng followed Ouyang Luoluo closely, running towards the depths of the forest. Behind him, there were nine other people in his group...
Boom boom...
The thunder came in waves.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared above their heads, and the dazzling lightning directly struck down a big tree next to them.
The girl in the same group named Ye Zilan was tripped by a suddenly fallen tree. She screamed and fell directly into the mud.
Of course, a two-star warrior, as soon as he fell down, immediately transformed his star power and stood up.
However, when she raised her head again, Ouyang Luoluo and the others had disappeared.
Ouyang Luoluo, who was in the front, also noticed that Ye Zilan had fallen behind and said, "We have now entered the depths of the forest. You can leave the team at any time and choose your own location to start the assessment!"
As soon as she finished speaking, three people were missing from the team, and the remaining people were still running after her.
Ouyang Luoluo increased her speed, and soon two people fell behind due to the terrain, leaving only four people following her.
"After running another two hundred steps, I will leave the examination room. Please choose a time to leave the team as soon as possible." After running for a while, Ouyang Luoluo said.
As soon as she finished speaking, three of the remaining four people left the team, leaving Tang Zheng alone.
Ouyang Luoluo also knew that Tang Zheng was the only one behind him, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's no use for you to follow me. I'm going out soon and will bring another group in..."
"Oh, I'm not following you." Tang Zheng said, "It just so happens that the path you chose is the relatively safest in the jungle..."
Ouyang Luoluo was shocked and said, "Oh?"
Tang Zheng simply stopped: "There are not many trees, and they are not tall. The possibility of being hit by lightning is the smallest when traveling under such trees. Relatively speaking, it is very dangerous under those big trees. Moreover, the soil of this road is relatively hard. Even if it rains, it is not easy to leave footprints. And..."
Ouyang Luoluo listened to him talk one by one, and became more and more shocked.
If she had not seen Tang Zheng's castings and poems, she would almost think that he was a battle-hardened scout!
"There are only two of us left." Ouyang Luoluo simply stopped running forward.
"Yeah, that's right." Tang Zheng touched his head, "The rain forest, alone, if you want to pledge yourself to me, this is a good opportunity..."
"Get lost!" Ouyang Luoluo kicked Tang Zheng in anger and amusement, "You have no respect for your teachers at all."
"That's not certain. Maybe I didn't pass the exam, so I can only be your colleague with some grievances."
"You really feel 'wronged'!" Ouyang Luoluo smiled and shook her head.
Being an instructor at Yisuli Academy means that one has entered the system of the Eighty-one Aristocratic Families. Both the treatment and status are much better than other jobs.
However, Ouyang Luoluo also knew that with Tang Zheng's casting and poetry, he could definitely find a place with better treatment and higher status than Yisu Academy.
"I'm leaving first, as I still have work to do. Can you... add that... oil? Well, come on." Ouyang Luoluo imitated the tone used by Tang Xiaotang and the others during the last casting competition, and spoke to Tang Zheng.
"Wait a minute." Tang Zheng was about to wave goodbye, but when he thought of his lottery question, he stopped Ouyang Luoluo and said, "Do you know what number 0001 is?"
"What?" Ouyang Luoluo laughed when she heard Tang Zheng's wording of "things". "I know."
"What is that?" Tang Zheng asked.
"I can't leak the questions! That's against the rules!" Ouyang Luoluo spread out his hands, with a helpless smile on his face.
Tang Zheng lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Anyway, there are only two of us..."
However, before he could finish his words, he interrupted himself and pricked up his ears.
Ouyang Luoluo also noticed that they had been standing here for too long and someone was coming.
Tang Zheng sighed regretfully: "It seems that I have no chance to cheat. Then...see you outside."
"Goodbye." Ouyang Luoluo tiptoed, and a pair of white wings spread out behind her, carrying her out of the forest and flying outside.
"Hey... It's a thunderstorm, we can't take off." Tang Zheng complained softly as he watched her figure disappear in the sky.
However, seeing that Ouyang Luoluo was not covered in rain, one could tell that she probably wasn't worried about the weather.
But Tang Zheng was not that awesome, and certainly would not choose dangerous places like tree trunks and branches to hide from the rain. He listened to the voice behind him and ran to the left without hesitation!
Regardless of anything else, he had to find Meng Fenghua and Xiao Lingdang first.
Although Xiao Lingdang was able to enter because Yisuli Academy made a special exception, no matter how special Yisuli Academy was, it would not allow Xiao Lingdang's joining to become a help to Meng Fenghua.
Therefore, Xiao Lingdang also had a nameplate hung on her body, and her nameplate was specially made. Meng Fenghua, Tang Zheng and others related to Xiao Lingdang could not take it off.
Although Xiao Lingling does not need to hunt others, she is the hunting target of others.
Moreover, in this assessment where all the warriors are two-star warriors, the nameplate on her body is simply a free result. Meng Fenghua and Tang Zixie, who are in the same group with her, will feel more pressure because of the little bell.
However, no matter what, Meng Fenghua would never leave Xiao Lingdang waiting outside alone.
If Yisuli Academy did not approve her application, she would simply give up the assessment and wait until next year or the year after, because the last actual combat next year or the year after could be a ring battle or something else, and Xiao Lingdang would not have to leave her sight.
"Alas, Fenghua is a sister-con!" Tang Zheng complained while observing the footprints along the road.
…
The youngest warrior taking the test was already fifteen years old, so Xiao Lingdang's small footprints were particularly easy to recognize.
But because of this, Tang Zheng's pace quickened.
Xiao Lingdang's footprints are becoming more and more obvious. Even a novice in jungle warfare should be able to find their location by following the footprints.
Tang was thinking about the time when he encountered an assassin. Apart from Tang Zixie and others who were on patrol, the first person to step forward and run to save him was Xiao Lingling. He laughed again. With such a small body, she blocked the assassin's huge weapon. He felt scared every time he thought about it.
This time, if she is left alone, she might do something dangerous and funny to help her sister win.
Tang Zheng is lucky.
He followed the footprints for a short while before he saw Meng Fenghua, Xiao Lingdang, and Tang Zixie, who had been with them.
Next to them, there was another candidate from the second group.
Tang Zheng remembered her name, it should be Liu Xingjiu...
Meng Fenghua and his group of four were actually at the bank of a wide river.
"Fenghua, Xiaolingling." Tang Zheng ran over in two or three steps, "Get out of there!"
"Ah?" Xiao Lingdang hadn't reacted yet, but Meng Fenghua picked her up without hesitation, left the riverside, and rushed towards Tang Zheng.
But Tang Zixie took Liu Xingjiu's hand and left there quickly.
As soon as the four people left, they saw a dazzling flash of lightning falling on the wide river surface. Then, the lightning spread across the river surface like a line, flashing purple light and quickly heading towards the shore.
"Speed, just use the star power to run!" Tang Zheng's words could not keep up with the speed of lightning.
Meng Fenghua and Tang Zixie instinctively followed Tang Zheng's words at first, but when they saw the electric arc on the river, they sped up without Tang Zheng's reminder.
Finally, with a loud "boom", the electric arc knocked down all four trees on the shore with a destructive power that Tang Zheng had never seen in his previous life, and instantly burned all the grass leaves on the shore into charcoal!
“The lightning in the other world is so awesome…” Tang Zheng looked at the four of them, fell on the grass, and sighed helplessly, “What are you doing standing there?”
"Hmm..." Little Bell patted the mud off her clothes, "We are preparing dinner. This sister brought a fishing rod and planned to catch some fish for me..."
Tang Zheng almost rolled his eyelids: "Come fishing on a rainy day... Miss, you are quite creative."
Only someone with no safety knowledge would do such a thing.
Unclean water is a conductor. It is dangerous to walk by the river on a rainy day. What’s more, the lightning is from another world and looks like special effects in movies!
Unfortunately, Tang Zheng felt that with his limited knowledge, he probably couldn't explain what a conductor is in this world without electricity, so he could only say, "Hurry, follow me."
When Liu Xingjiu saw the purple electric arc on the river surface just now, his face turned pale with fright. If Tang Zhengwan had come a little later, they would have definitely been injured by now.
"Thank you, I didn't know." Liu Xingjiu apologized in a very good manner.
Tang Zheng saw Tang Zixie holding hands with her, so he didn't need to ask what was going on. He just waved at them and said, "Let's leave here. Let's find a safe place first."
However, just as he finished speaking, four warriors appeared from the left front of them.
They were a little surprised to see Tang Zheng, who had just entered the forest with the 33rd group, appear in this place: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Tang who writes good poems?"
Although Tang Zheng performed brilliantly in the second assessment, this actually caused other warriors to lower their ratings of his combat effectiveness.
Who has ever seen the fighting ability of a teacher?
Before Tang Zheng could answer them, three more people came rushing over from their right front: "There are quite a lot of people..."
Then, three more people arrived at their side: "Ha, what's going on? Are so many people trying to grab the little girl's candy?"
