After that, the people in the back would stand in line. Of course, no one would let you cut in line. If you didn't get first place, it would be extremely difficult to join the line again. No one would give up their position for you.
In this way, the best way was to keep an eye on a cultivator's back and follow him. If he succeeded in getting first place, then you would definitely have a chance as long as you followed him. As long as you weren't ranked 150th, you would definitely get a chance.
However, this also had its drawbacks. The person in front might not be able to get first place, or the others might also keep an eye on that person. Then, it would depend on whose reaction speed was faster.
This method was widely spread. Basically, you would keep an eye on the first person to get first place. Then, you would be followed all the way to the 150th place. Those who weren't followed would basically be eliminated.
Although this method was good, it could also fail. Therefore, Xiao Chen didn't intend to use this method. He planned to get first place. Although it was difficult, it should be relatively easy for a cultivator like him.
All the cultivators were standing at the edge of the square. No one could enter first. If they entered before the time limit, it would be regarded as a violation of the rules. They would be disqualified from buying tickets for ten days.
Xiao Chen arrived early, but when he arrived at the square, there was already a sea of people. Everyone surrounded the edge of the square. Fortunately, the square was big enough. As long as they didn't arrive too late, they could stand at the edge of the square.
At four o 'clock, everyone ran to the ticket booth together. Xiao Chen stood in a position and was ready to go.
Of course, Xiao Chen was a newcomer. He had never appeared before, so almost no one was optimistic about him. There shouldn't be anyone following behind him. Many cultivators had already fought for experience. They knew who was more likely to get into the top 150, so they casually stared at those people behind them.
However, it didn't mean that this person could get into the top 150, so they could sit back and relax. If you stared at him, others might also stare at him. At that time, it would be hard to tell who would be the winner.
Xiao Chen was aiming for first place. He didn't have time to study who could get into the top 150. This wasn't something that could be studied in a day or two. He didn't have that kind of time! New Year's Day had passed, and the Spring Festival was just around the corner. He wanted to go back to the Xiao family during the Spring Festival and spend the Spring Festival with the Xiao family.
At 3: 50 pm, the lights at the ticket booth were turned on, and a few staff members came out one after another to maintain order. One of them was holding a small flag in his hand. It seemed like he was going to command the crowd later.
At four o 'clock sharp, the staff member waved the small flag in his hand, and then everyone rushed forward. Xiao Chen also quickly ran to the ticket booth! He was a cultivator, so he had the advantage of speed. However, besides him, there were also speed-type martial artists. Although Xiao Chen was already very fast, Xiao Chen still saw a person running neck and neck with him!
This person was a level 1 martial artist. Although his strength wasn't very high, he ran very fast. He should have cultivated speed-type martial arts. When this person saw that Xiao Chen was running as fast as him, he was very surprised!
Every time he went to buy tickets, he was always the first. Although he was weak, because of this, he got to know two powerful friends. Because every time he bought tickets, he allowed these two friends to stand beside him and then run with him, becoming the second and third place. This way, with the help of these two friends, when he found the hot spring, as long as one of these two friends was there, they could also take care of him, so that he could smoothly cultivate in the hot spring without being chased away.
Of course, at this time, he didn't have time to ask Xiao Chen why he was also running so fast. He just gritted his teeth and sped up, wanting to overtake Xiao Chen.
However, Xiao Chen was always running side by side with him. It wasn't easy to overtake him.
The dark horse, Xiao Chen, surprised many people. At least, there was a smart guy who temporarily changed his target and stared at Xiao Chen. In his opinion, instead of betting on others, it was better to bet on Xiao Chen.
In fact, the distance wasn't very far. For many people, the difference was only one or two steps. Xiao Chen and the level 1 martial artist ran at the front. Seeing that they were about to reach the ticket booth, the level 1 martial artist changed direction. He didn't run to the ticket booth, but turned in another direction!
Behind him were two high-level martial artists. These two people didn't look at anything else. They only stared at the level 1 martial artist. When he changed direction, the two people also changed direction one after the other.
Behind this high-level martial artist, there were other people following him. In the end, when one person made a mistake, the group of people behind him also made a mistake.
On the other hand, Xiao Chen was the first to stand in front of the ticket booth. He looked indifferently at the first layer Martial Master. Although he had played a trick, this was how it was in the martial arts world. Mutual deception reigned supreme, and a cultivator's skills were also a type of strength.
However, the person following Xiao Chen was overjoyed. He realized that he had made the right bet! The person behind this person was also overjoyed. His luck was really good. This person's speed was average, so it was difficult for him to enter the top 150. However, the others couldn't keep up with him, so they could only follow behind him.
As a result, one after another, those who originally had no hope and only had the mentality of trying their luck all succeeded in entering the top 150 this time. As for those who were originally full of confidence, they all failed one by one.
Following one wrong person would result in all the wrong steps!
The level 1 martial artist ran a few steps before he suddenly came to his senses. He realized that something was wrong! Just now, his mind seemed to be blank. He just had a thought and ran in this direction uncontrollably.
When he turned his head, he saw that the situation had already been decided. He was instantly dumbfounded! He came out of the hot spring and rested in the inn for a few days. He was preparing to rush to first place today. Who would have thought that he would be careless and let someone else take first place!
However, at this moment, he couldn't get angry. He could only look at Xiao Chen with hatred. The two high-level martial artists behind him were also very angry. What was going on? Where did this kid come from? How did he get first place?
However, since the situation had already been decided, he could only think about it tomorrow. If he dared to cause trouble here, he would definitely be disqualified for a month.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened to me just now. It seems like I was too focused on my opponent and ran astray." The level 1 martial artist said to the two high-level martial artists behind him with some regret.
"Forget it, we'll talk about it tomorrow!" The two of them also knew that people would always make mistakes. At most, they would come back tomorrow. It was just that today was a little suffocating!
One of the high-level martial artists looked at Xiao Chen with a sinister look and remembered this person's appearance.
The three of them left dejectedly. The people behind them who had planned to follow them a few days ago also left. There was no other way. They would come back tomorrow. Fortunately, there was still hope.
The ticket sales started. Xiao Chen took out his bank card and was about to swipe it. However, what made Xiao Chen puzzled was that the person selling the tickets was also puzzled. "The first place is free of charge."
"Free of charge?" Xiao Chen was stunned. This was probably written in the secret manual. However, Xiao Chen didn't read it in detail and skipped it.
"Oh, it's you. Number 151 from yesterday. Are you new?" The person selling the tickets recognized Xiao Chen. "You are quite fast. Take the ticket and prepare to enter!"
As he said this, the person selling the tickets gave Xiao Chen a sign. On it was written: Flame Mountain Ancient Ruins Number 1.
Xiao Chen took the sign. Under the guidance of another staff member, he arrived in front of a teleportation array at the side. He went to one of the positions. This teleportation array could teleport six people at a time. Therefore, he had to wait for the people behind him to arrive together before he could activate it.
Soon, the six people stood in front of the teleportation array. The staff member at the side activated the teleportation array. Xiao Chen blinked his eyes and entered the desert. It was exactly the same as the previous teleportation!
There was no one else beside him. This teleportation array also teleported people randomly. At least within his visibility, he didn't see anyone else.
Previously, Xiao Chen had carefully read the secret manual. It was about how to find hot springs in the desert. Therefore, he had overlooked some small details. The first place had the preferential treatment of free of charge. No wonder that first-level martial artist had so many people following him. It seemed like he had been here for free of charge all year round. Everyone knew him.
Of course, Xiao Chen could also continue to get free of charge. However, he didn't have that much time to stay here.
Xiao Chen first took out the compass and determined his direction. Because this was an illusion array, the surroundings were misty. The visibility was particularly low. He couldn't see anything more than a few dozen meters away.
However, this didn't matter. According to the secret manual, the hottest place was where the hot springs were. Therefore, as long as he found the hottest direction and kept walking, he would be able to reach the hot springs.
However, it was easier said than done. The temperature increased step by step. If he didn't continue walking for a long time, it would be difficult to tell whether it was getting hotter or colder.
Furthermore, if he were to go in the wrong direction, with the current visibility, the slightest deviation could mean thousands of miles. It was very likely that he would miss the hot spring just by changing his angle.
However, this was nothing to Xiao Chen. The six senses of a cultivator were very powerful. He only needed to use the spot where he first landed as the center of the circle. He circled around the area and found the hottest spot. Then, he formed a straight line through the center of the circle and this spot. He quickly moved along the straight line.
This method was difficult for non-cultivators to distinguish the slight difference in temperature even if they walked in a circle.
It didn't take long for Xiao Chen to arrive in front of a huge building that looked like a swimming pool. He found that there were many cultivators gathered around the swimming pool. There were at least ten of them, and most of them were martial artists.
Sure enough, Xiao Chen found this place without much effort. He wasn't in a hurry. He didn't understand why these cultivators didn't enter the hot springs to cultivate. Therefore, he walked over and stood to the side to watch.
