After successfully rousing the enthusiasm of all the newcomers, the bald elder smiled slightly. The original intention of holding the Newcomer Trial was not only to train the newcomers, but also to let them help gather herbs to refine strategic pills like the Building Foundation Pill.
After all, all the herbs gathered by the newcomers had to be handed over. If there was no reward and no hope of winning, these newcomers might not put in the effort, which would go against the original intention.
However, the newcomers were still newcomers. While using the reward to boost their morale, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, some ugly words had to be said first.
The bald Elder nonchalantly scanned all the rookies and finally said, "Now, all of you are clear of the rules, but there are three things that I have to emphasize, so as to prevent any idiots among you from having thoughts that they shouldn't have."
"First, you can only move around the back mountain. Do not attempt to touch any restrictions. This old man guarantees that you will die miserably."
"Second, you only have three days. Three days later, if you do not return here by noon, you will also die miserably."
"Third, the trial encourages competition. You can rob each other, but you must not kill anyone. If something really happens, this old man will personally take action and make you pay with your life."
Three things. Violating any one of them would result in a person's death.
With that, the bald elder no longer cared about the newcomers who were scared silly by his killing intent. He closed his eyes and rested. As for the two elders beside him, they did not say a word from beginning to end. Their main responsibility was to guard the back mountain. As for presiding over the newcomer trial, it was just a small part-time job.
"Alright, everyone, go find your Senior Brother in charge and collect the special backpack for the back mountain hall. Once you've adjusted your condition, you can go on your way. Don't dilly-dally!" Hu Yunfeng took over the reigns and issued an order.
"Yes!" All the newcomers responded in unison, each one of them eager to fight. Eager to try.
"Junior Brother Lin, after entering the back mountain, you must be careful. There are dangers everywhere, and during the trial, anything can happen. You must not be careless. Junior Brother Xiao and Junior Brother Qiao as well. "The bitter Senior Brother gave the special basket to the three of them as he warned them.
Although the bald Elder had already warned them that the Rookie Trial was strictly prohibited from killing people, the back mountain was so big. Even the periphery was fraught with danger. No one knew what would happen. If someone really wanted to kill someone, there was no need for him to do it himself. As long as he casually played some tricks, he might be able to kill the person.
Lin Yi, Xiao Ran, and Qiao Hongcai nodded. Although they had never entered the back mountain, they were still Heaven Rank experts. They still had this bit of vigilance. In their eyes, even though this savage forest that emitted an ancient aura was a holy land for cultivators that contained countless treasures of the heavens and the earth, yet at the same time, it was an enormous ferocious beast that chose its prey. It was unknown how many cultivators' corpses were buried there.
Turning back to look at the other newcomers around Meng Jueguang, the bitter Senior Brother lowered his voice and said to Lin Yi and the other two, "I accidentally overheard them saying a few words. It seems like they are prepared to join forces to deal with you guys in the trial. If possible, I suggest that you guys find a chance to meet up after entering the trial and move together. That way, you can at least look out for each other. "
"This …" Lin Yi and the other two looked at each other. They all had a difficult expression on their faces.
Let's not talk about the fact that this trial would randomly send the newcomers to a location. It would be very difficult to meet up! Moreover, if they were to waste time searching for each other, it would not be worth it!
Most importantly, Lin Yi was bent on finding the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass. Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai both had their own plans. The three of them could indeed look out for each other, but this would naturally limit their points.
After all, if the three of them walked the same route, the number of medicinal herbs they would find would definitely be limited. Hence, the problem was, these medicinal herbs could not be divided equally, right?
If the three of them divided equally, then the final result would be that everyone's points would not be as high as the others. In that case, it would be impossible for them to get into the top three, and ultimately miss out on the Foundation Building Pill. And if the three of them did not divide equally, then who would get more and who would get less? That would be a bigger problem!
On the other hand, if the three of them split up, although it would be more risky, the rewards would be greater. In the end, each person's points would definitely be much better than moving together. At least they would have a chance to fight for the top three. One must know that the reward for the top three was the Foundation Building Pill. How could they give up on this opportunity so easily!
Moreover, the bald Elder had already clearly warned them not to kill anyone. As long as they were a little more careful, at least their lives would not be in danger. The risk was not especially high either. Based on this, it was obvious that it was more worthwhile for the three of them to split up!
However, Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai looked at each other. Lin Yi usually treated them well. Wasn't this the time to repay him?
If the three of them worked together and gave all the medicinal herbs they found to Lin Yi, then Lin Yi should have no problem getting first place! Thinking of this, the two of them felt ashamed of their previous selfishness!
The two of them said at the same time, "Senior Brother Ku is right. Let's think of a way to move together. Brother Lin has taken care of us so much before. This time, no matter what, we must fight for first place for you!"
In other words, all the medicinal herbs they found when moving together would be given to Lin Yi first. This way, the two of them would be giving up on the trial reward. This required a lot of determination. One must know that the temptation of the Foundation Building Pill to these Heaven Stage Full Circle experts was unparalleled.
Lin Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. These two's intentions touched him, but his most important task this time was to find the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass. Compared to the Foundation Building Pill that he planned to refine later, the trial reward of the Foundation Building Pill was simply insignificant.
And if he moved together with the two of them, not only would it be unfair to Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai, it would also be an additional burden to Lin Yi.
"I appreciate your good intentions, but there is no need. This is a rare opportunity. Don't easily let go of the reward that you should fight for. Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Lin Yi advised seriously.
